> LG's phone QA were never really as good.

They are still abysmal to work with. I'm working on a webOS TV app and some of the updates require their certification, and their QA team is unbelievable...

I had an idea for one of those but absolutely bailed when I saw the joke of an “approval process” they had. I remember something like having to fill in a presentation (!)... The only item missing from the list was “fly to Korea and take the team out for dinner”.

Yeah! We have to create the app presentation each time we submit for certification, and if even one of the text elements from presentation differs from the app it's cert failure... I mean, what the hell LG?!

One time they've sent us cert feedback for another (big) application, instead for our app. All that with their presentation file, login details, and other stuff.

Wow. If you can share, what particular aspects require their certification?
