Use the G4 as a TV remote

More and more phones are coming with IR blasters built in, and the G4 is one of them. An IR blaster is what remotes use to communicate with a television to turn it on, adjust volume, change channels, etc. Why fumble for a remote when you already have your phone on you at all times?
  1. Open the QRemote app
  2. Tap the + icon
  3. Choose the type of device you’d like to control
  4. Find your device from the list
Some devices work better than others. If you find that some buttons on the remote don’t work correctly you can tap the three-dot menu icon and select Learn remote. This will allow you to program the button by using the real remote.
Turn off the LED notification

The LG G4 has an LED indicator light that is used to show when you have notifications. Some people love this, other people hate it. There’s nothing more annoying than a blinking light from your phone in the middle of the night. Thankfully, LG allows you to turn of the light altogether.
  1. Go to Settings > Sound & notification
  2. Toggle off Notification LED
Set up Downtime

Are there certain times of day when you don’t want to be bothered with notifications? Downtime is a feature that allows you to set certain times and days for your phone to automatically go into silent mode. It can be incredibly useful, and you should definitely use it.
  1. Go to Settings > Sound & notification > Interuptions
  2. Select Downtime
  3. Choose the days of the week you’d like it to be enabled
  4. Choose the start and end time
  5. Choose if you’d like No interruptions or Priority interruptions during this time
Use floating apps with QSlide

QSlide is a place where you can quickly launch apps in windows that float above whatever you’re currently doing. The QSlide apps can be re-sized, made transparent, and dragged around the screen. When you’re trying to perform multiple tasks at once the QSlide apps can be incredibly useful. There are a couple of ways to access these apps.
  1. Pull down on the notification shade and scroll through the toggles
  2. Tap on the QSlide toggle and the available apps will appear below
  3. To edit which apps appear here you can scroll to the right and tap Edit
  4. Select the app you wish to open and tap it
  5. Now you can drag it, resize by pulling the corner, and adjust transparency with the slider.
If you find yourself using these apps a lot you may want to use the second method.
  1. Go to Settings > Display > Home touch buttons
  2. Select Button combination
  3. Drag and drop the QSlide button into the navigation bar
Use two apps at once with Dual Window

If you want to take multi-tasking to the next level you can use Dual Window mode. You can run two apps at the same time on each half of the display. Dual Window mode doesn’t work with all apps, but new for the G4 is Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Other apps include YouTube, Chrome, Hangouts, Gmail, Messaging, and more. Here’s how to use it.
  1. Long-press the Back button
  2. Select the app to display on top
  3. Select the app to display on the bottom
Another way to do this is to press the Recents button and select Dual window. When Dual Window mode is active you can drag the divider between the apps to resize the windows. To close one of the apps you can simply drag the other app to full screen.
Simplify the user expirience with Easy Mode

If you’re giving the LG G4 to someone who’s not very tech suave, or you are not tech suave yourself, Easy Mode is a nice feature. In Easy Mode the icons on the home screen are simplified, the text is bigger, and it’s easy to create speed dial shortcuts. This mode isn’t for everyone, but we all know someone who could use it.
  1. Go to Settings > Home screen
  2. Tap Select Home
  3. Choose EasyHome
