If you can build AOSP/LineageOS on it without problem, and will continue to do so for the next 6 years I'll consider buying it.
Brandon Thomas
>5,7" No thanks. I'll stick with my lg g2 for another year.
Jordan Peterson
Mine is genuine and was in pristine condition
>He doesn't flash his own ROMs
No it doesn't. The bootloop was caused by 808/810 SoCs.
Bentley Phillips
I miss my G2. Digitizer died on it and a new one was as much as a new phone of equal caliber. That phone had a bunch of nice ROMs and a few kernels at the time.
Jordan Morales
Yeah digitizer is iffy when the phone is charging but other than that its still good and lineage os is snappy as ever. I can't believe we didn't get new 5" phone with small bezels since then. All phones these days are either gigantic or have huge chins or missing things like headphone jack.

I have the lg v20 and you're hyping it way too hard. The ONLY reason I bought it was because of the removable battery. I'm using the zerolemon 10k mah battery.
However, you have to be on a very early firmware to root depending on carrier. I actually had to hunt in the stores 1-by-1 before finally finding a store that had it on the J release firmware for T-mobile.
The phone isn't the fastest really anymore. I have a note 8 and s9 courtesy of my job, but I won't use them as my daily due to not having a removable battery.
the s9 and note 8 FLY compared to this phone.
the LGV20 MIGHT get 8.0, and who knows when that will hit.
I tried lineage on it, but found it buggy and the camera becomes worthless on it.
I ended up going back to stock and stayed on the firmware that i can flash TWRP on.
you can go to the latest modem/firmware while retaining TWRP/root, but you have no ability go back. So if for whatever reason you lose TWRP or something goes wrong, you are stuck with an unrootable device.
I'm not super unhappy with my LGv20, but it could be SO SO MUCH BETTER.
I feel like this is the last phone with a removable battery though. Every manufacturer has gotten on the water proof train instead.
For me, having a 10k mah battery (or easily swappable) is a necessity. I like not having to worry about recharging my phone in a 24 hour period. It's nearly impossible to do so with this battery and I get about 5 days of run time with it.
Christian King
>$150 Literally where?
Justin Stewart
$150
Fucking lies
Nicholas Lopez
Can I get that link to buy it user?
Jonathan Torres
Eh. I'd rather get a galaxy s9 for $0 down and $30/mo ($720 total) through my carrier and get: Exynos 9810 octacore cpu 4GB RAM 64GB storage + expandable through microSD 5.8" OLED @ 1440x2960 12MP rear camera, 8MP front camera 3,000mAh battery (all batteries are replaceable if you're not retarded) FM Radio Water resistant Decent custom ROM support if you hate touchjizz
Also, it looks really sleek, feels great in hand, and is overall a really nice phone. Going to pick mine up today after deliberating for two days over whether or not I truly need a new phone when my moto g5+ works great, and if the extra $5/mo vs S8 is really worth it with such a small difference between S8 and S9, but since lenovo keeps delaying the official 8.0 release for G5+ for no damn reason, I decided fuck it, gimme dat S9
Ian Diaz
post the link you faggot and it better not be refurbished
Get an immersive mode mod that only turns off the notification bar. Then under the LG settings turn on "Use second screen to display time and notifications while media is playing".
Several ebay stores are selling mint condition v20s. Yywireless is one of them. All around $150.
The bootloop issue was on Qualcomm's end. I had a 5x die on me. Anything with an 808 or 810 burns it's cores out. I don't know what happened to your G3 though.
What happened to it?
Sounds like user error.
Mine is an updated T-Mobile variant and I rooted with no issues at all.
And I never claimed it was the fastest, but an 820 is plenty. With stock software this phone is slow. And 8.0 is confirmed by Tmobile.
Use super v20 instead, it has perfect compatibility with mine. It has most mods you want and keeps what LG tweaks you want.
Camden Smith
Only thing I don't like about the V10 is how they ditched the V10 and g3 design of keeping the buttons on the back I'm still using my g3 and as stupid as it sounds it's one of the main things keeping me from getting a new phone, that and the fact that with aosp extended this thing still has top notch speed It doesn't beat new flagships, but it is as fast as new mid range phones
Bootloop is a general term that Android isn't starting. These people just fucked up their ROMs.
The LG bootloop issue was due to the SD 808 and 810 burning it's "big" cores out. Preventing Android from starting.
You can literally look up "bootloop x phone" and get results. It's like a BSoD on Windows. It can be hardware or software.
Xavier Taylor
>forced to install his own ROMs because no support
just get a Nokia or an iPhone bro
Connor Thomas
If you have an Android phone without at least using a custom ROM (rooting is optional) then you are limiting yourself significantly.
It is as essential as reformatting windows on an OEM laptop.
Michael Lewis
maybe back in 2012 or if you use a piece of shit samsung, but vanilla android just werks and has a lot of customization available even without rooting.
Dylan Hill

Daniel Wood
The screen fades out and is unfixable with a motherboard swap it A lot of G3s had it
Isaac Phillips
Is there official LOS for it? If not it's already obsolete ans abandoned.
Sebastian Nguyen
Yes, for every variant. Second screen doesn't work yet though.
Half the shit I have done to my phone isn't possible without root.
The camera app on the V20 is vastly Superior to the Pixel's
The camera on the V20 is made for manual mode, if you want to point and shoot go spend $1k on an iPhone basedboy.
Anything with a baseband processor has a hardware backdoor.
Ethan Mitchell
Except manual mode doesn't work when you're on an aosp rom you double nigger Stop trying to explain me my previous phone
Luke Lopez
do not buy LG products they like to dump heat right into the display assembly and it will eventually start ghost touching with random parts of the screen not working at all
Mason Ramirez
>Picks shit ROM with no support >Blames phone Hmm
Seriously, why didn't you use MegaROM or it's successor superV20?
I'll watch out for that.

Kayden Lewis
You are putting words into my mouth. I said it doesn't support the v20, thus making it a shitty rom choice.
I mean, why get the phone if you want to throw software on it that disables most of the unique features of the phone?
Ayden Taylor
I have the h918.

IPS screens can't burn in bro. You are thinking of image persistence which is not permanent.
And every other thing you mention has not happened to me in the slightest. Maybe he has a defective unit?

Aaron Ward

Charles Turner
Camera quality is almost always worst on custom roms. Dt2w and the other shit seems to be a rom issue.
Christopher Nelson
>image persistence which is not permanent Honestly I don't know, it seems to stay there even after the battery died and the screen has been off for a couple hours >defective unit I don't think so, I found lots of people on the internet complaining about the same issues At least it doesn't bootloop (yet), his G4 bootlooped after half a year, and it also had the same issues, like my old G3 He knows LG sucks, but he wants to feel like a cool kid and buys LG flagships because of the ridiculous street price. He's obviously envious of my Redmi 4 Prime's 2 day battery life, performance, and lack of issues, especially because I bought it for €140, which is €210 less than his V20 price
Ayden Long
>microSD >shitty jewgle play ignores your 1TB SD to cram all your apps and shit onto the small amount of storage that comes with the phone.
what's even the fucking point of having SD if you can't install onto it without fucking with root?
Jonathan Johnson
HD800 are 300-600Ohms.
Turning it off won't fix it. You need to flash the screen with a video, or just turn the brightness down for a while.
And I like I have said, I haven't had any of those problems happen. If I did, I wouldn't have made this thread.
Jacob Lee
Can confirm, posting from V20 right now. GOAT phone.
Landon Collins
DESU there are pins to support wireless charging and LG even announced that they will release a wireless charging backcover but because of muh metal back and it didn't sell as much as expected, they never released it.
Benjamin Martinez
>And before anybody says it, the V20 doesn't have any bootloop issues. Deluded LGniggers keep parroting this, nevermind that LG had to settle in court because of bootloop issue on a variety of phones V20 included. Fucking scum trying to trick people into buying a defective phone.
Christopher Harris
>The bootloop issue was on Qualcomm's end. I had a 5x die on me. Anything with an 808 or 810 burns it's cores out. Holy fucking shit, this shill really thinks that people are retarded enough to think that only LG had 808 and 810.
Christian Carter
Hey OP, I have a V20 running LOS only because I can use it without gapps. Does the stock ROM base (Super V20) require gapps to be installed or is it safe to remove google play services via a root uninstaller and not lose compatibility?
Levi Kelly
never mind, installed it and i'm instantly restoring my LOS backup. the screen burn-in on this ROM is godawful and it comes bloated with a ton of google dependencies already. i recommend just switching to LOS personally, never had any problems and it was fast as fuck

>IR Blaster Surely this is only for amerifats, no other adults are still being cucked into watching TV? Or are there any interesting uses of IR blaster then can't be achieved with the plethora of radio wave or voice technologies?
I don't believe the OP phone of those specs. What is the operating system like? Having Android apps on mobile is a mature and rich market that suits its use case.
I'd also want bluetooth 5.0 + LE if the DAC is so great, for the best quality wireless headphones. USB C port would be appreciated.
>no other adults are still being cucked into watching TV
>Everyone likes watching media content on a tiny phone screen. Only cucks use a large screen that has features that can be "controlled" from across the room with a "remote."
inb4, >I need to control everything from South America via the Internet
Nolan Williams
The LG V20 doesn't have the bootloop issue. The only thing the V20 is affected by is using bad USB C chargers which fry the motherboard. Most USB C devices have this issue and the V20 was just thrown into the lawsuit cause "bootloop" is a common term use by uninformed normies.
The real bootloop phones would heat up and loosen up the solder on the PSU with the motherboard, or the CPU cores burn themself out.
I have an LG Nexus 5X and it bootlooped. There is a known fix that if you disable the big cores that it "fixes" the phone.
Bluetooth doesn't use the phone's DAC, it is a digital signal. And the V20 is type C.
Noah King
LG makes pure fucking shit, the G3 is the worst phone that I have ever owned.
