[LG V10 General] rsr911:
Coming from a Galaxy S4 running tweaked Hyperdrive RLS21. So far my only downside is MagPul (a firearms accessory manufacturer who also makes rugged iPhone and Galaxy cases) doesn't make a case for the V10.

Here's my story: 18 years on Verizon and I'm done. I picked up a brand new S6 32gb, first thing I notice is glass back and no removable battery, then no SD slot, then rooting so far impossible. I decided to give T-Mobile a chance, picked up the V10 and installed a cell signal meter on both phones. I'm in sales, I need a phone that works in customer's plants. I drove to my three largest customers and tested signals and found all to be comparable. Drove out to my family home, excellent signal. Drove to my girlfriends in a fairly remote part of Ohio, excellent signal, in fact stronger than Verzion by about 12db. I live in the city, in an old brick tudor house with steam heat and metal lathe in some of the walls. It's a huge Faraday cage. The V10 destroys the S4 on both WiFi and LTE. S6 was good but not as strong on LTE inside my house. The S6 is a little stronger in my corner office but about the same in the rest of my office buiding and weaker in our metal roof production building. At this point I was already sold on the V10 compared to the S6 for the removable battery and SD card plus the larger screen, great signals was an added benefit. Then I find out they've already got TWRP working! Before I even returned the S6 I had a rooted phone with Xposed and TWRP. Ahhh the good life! I ordered a Spigen case and tempered glass from Amazon only to figure out you need to touch the side rails of the phone for the fingerprint scanner to work (which BTW hands down beats the S6 fingerprint scanner. So today I cut out reliefs in the edges of the case where my thumbs usually land, worked perfect although not pretty (yet). I'll take care of that soon enough as modifying a cheap phone case is easier than chopping the grip on a Glock 17 down to a 19 for easier CCW lol. My Glock is all contoured etc, the phone case will be a piece of cake. So here I am at week two of ownership and I love this phone! Love the easy root and recovery install, very simple on Ubuntu. Love having Xposed. I've gotten used to and love the larger size. So far the only downside seems to be battery life. It's better than my S4 but not as good as the S6. I had three batteries for the S4, not an option on the S6. I got the promo deal and cannot wait for my extra battery and SD card. I've improved battery life a lot using Xposed modules like DS battery saver as well as going to dark themes. Hoping ZeroLemon comes out with an extended battery but I'm getting a full day of usage out of it right now so I can't complain. I think LG struck a good balance of weight vs battery size anyway. My first cell was huge with and external antenna and extended battery pack. It was like carrying around a CB. Having a handheld computer in my pocket that runs all day on a charge is awesome. Having 6 cores and 4gb ram plus eventually 264gb of onboard storage is pretty neat for a guy who wondered what he'd do with all the power of a Pentium 133 and all that space in a 1gb HDD LOL. I can't say I'm super surprised, I have a front loader LG washer and drier and an LG dishwasher and all three have been top quality for 8 years now. Between Samsung's downgrading the Galaxy line to non-removable battery and no SD and Verizon's continued crackdown on rooted phones I am happy to spend my money elsewhere. Even more happy they aren't the only game in town anymore when it comes to network coverage. I'm shocked at the inside the house coverage as I stated earlier. On Verizon texts would often hang or not send, even with the S6 and again this is in a major city. As a ham radio operator I keep looking at those shiny SS bars on the sides of the phone and wonder if they aren't actually antennas, sure would make sense. Lastly one tip I learned: to increase battery life flip the phone over or keep it in your pocket, the second screen will shut off. I'm sure others are aware of this but I haven't seen it mentioned.
