Lol you're not going to get the promo. They wait for the return period to end to check if the phone is under your name and carrier or returned or in someone else's name. That's why the rebate says 4-6 weeks. Otherwise everyone would use that scam.
[LG V10 General] Semantics:
This isn't true. I got the G4 promo when I returned it during buyers remorse. I had forgotten I submitted it. So I promptly posted in the G4 forum that I would give it to whoever wanted to pay the five dollar flat rate shipping. I guess he'll enjoy the 200GB card on his Samsung phone....
[LG V10 General] The5Venomz:
No worries... Wouldn't have made me keep the phone either way unfortunately.

Hey how did you change your apn? Mine wont allow me to change it v.v even made a new apn, but can't select it v.v
[LG V10 General] jamor414:
Yes it is. You slipped through luckily. I doubt he will.
[LG V10 General] Semantics:
Under mobile networks I went to APN and clicks the 3 dot menu > New APN > filled it out, saved it and it lets me select it.

Ok got it, haha...my apn type wasn't set right

Then luckily for him. Anyway, his Samsung doesn't have an SD card slot lol. But I guess he could turn a profit on it if he slips through somehow.
[LG V10 General] Semantics:
LG may be paying more attention to a 200GB microsd card promo than their last promo. It was 32GB with battery and charger. 200GB card goes for like 175 on Amazon so they might be checking this time around.
[LG V10 General] bigstunta101:
I love when a phone just comes out and people ***** about every single thing. If anything I learned from android phones since the g1, no two phones work the same. I had a note 3 that was perfect in every way while I had 6 friends that had the ****tiest note 3's ever made. Same thing with the nexus 6 and the color banding or speaker quality. The phones not even a week old and its still in its first batch. If you want improvements instead of sacrifice, you should all write LG and make complaints and if they're serious about customer loyalty, they'll fix it on a second batch. But just writing of the phone for some problems that not everyone has is pretty moronic to me. Then again, its your money and choice to do as you please. As for me, hardware, phone is sound. I'm sure with root and mod and even lg upgrades, a lot of software problems can be fixed. Good luck with your decisions people

Bet won't see this kind of free ram on NOTE 5 without trying [emoji23] imma go TRY to get lot of free ram now and see what I end up with
[LG V10 General] mottyengel:
The ram was one of my main gripes with the note 5. Why dafuq do you put 4gb of ram in a phone if you wont let more than a few apps be open at the same time???
[LG V10 General] mottyengel:
I'm not really sure what you're trying to say... If it's all software then you can say that it's early releases and it'll get better but you specifically said early hardware batches. Dude, once you get a phone "from an early batch" you're stuck with that damn mistake of a phone. People want to know if it's worth chancing it. It's not as simple as some other phones. Or I guess your answer would be to wait. Then I guess do that. But getting a phone that has definite connectivity issues is a major problem.
[LG V10 General] bigstunta101:
Both software and hardware. That's why I said start logging in complaints. Either software updates would fix the problems or if its hardware related, and later on when the newer batches are sold, RMA the phone. My point is that some people get crappy phones and some don't. But writing off the whole phone model as defective is unproductive

First charge, yesterday

I feel sorry for all the people experiencing issues. I have none. Wifi, Bluetooth, lte, battery, light bleed, etc. All are fine for me. My only disappointment is no headphones and having to wait for the TWRP, that's already working, to be released!

I'm going from the edge+ to the V10...…
[LG V10 General] The5Venomz:
Good luck... I don't regret my decision... I absolutely love the Edge+ so far!! I wasn't wowed with anything the V10 offered.
[LG V10 General] jamor414:
I'd go with V10 if I had the choice. I have had Note 3 for 2 years. Lack of SD card on Note 5 was a pretty big kick in the nuts though. Stopped any fanboyism I may have had. I'll support companies that care about what the consumer wants. Yes I know some people don't care about sd card or removable battery but tell that to the pre-note5 community and see what kind of response you get.
[LG V10 General] Lightmatrix:
Battery....Oy

I picked my V10 up yesterday. This morning I have been using it on and off and went from a 100% charge at 7:45AM to 20% at 10:10AM. Looking at usage, screen was 41% and Adguard was 31%.... everything else was less than double digit.

Not good!
[LG V10 General] mgbotoe:
Adguard is a battery hogger but for the time being, I tolerate it. Adguard used 31% of your battery...just adguard alone dropped it from 100% to 69%. You can usually get a good 2 hour out of that 31% Minimum under normal usage.
[LG V10 General] Airtioteclint:
I just discovered this today, if you use knock pattern as your lockscreen security you can just knock from sleep to wake AND unlock. Previously i was double tapping the screen to wake first THEN knocking to unlock. Ok this may only be news to me being my first lg device but it's just another reason I love this phone. :D
[LG V10 General] alwayslearning:
returning the V10

I am sad to say that I will be returning my V10. I was so hoping to make it work for me. I have the G4 and I will go back to that as my main phone. I will try the Nexus 6P for a secondary phone. The two main reason I am returning the V10 is (NUMBER 1) the speakers, I use the phone a lot on speaker and it is just not cutting it, there are several things wrong with this speaker. The 2nd reason I am returning it is the wight, it is not balanced very well in your hand. The 3rd reason is the 2nd screen, even though I could get use to it and make it work for me I do not think we will see this on any future phone so why get use to it if I change phones every 9 to 12 months.

If this phone was a 5.9" screen like my LG G2Pro and the 2nd screen was gone I would keep it. G4 at 5.5 and V10 at 5.7 I did not gain anything on screen but the phone is a lot bigger than the G4. The G4 is a great phone and the V10 is not much different.
[LG V10 General] toastido:
So I decided to pull out the v10 last night and give it another shot. Still have 7 more days till I can jump.

Firstly, the knock on problem, we troubleshot on another thread and turns out it was because of a bug in the hidden menu. So that's resolved!

Fingerprint reader.. Aluminum foil between the rail and side of the case works 100%, and there are hints LG is going to fix this with a software update, so that's fixed.

The Bluetooth issue. I was able to fix this by unpairing the disconnected device on the phone side and re pairing it. Wtf. Fixed!

Speakerphone. Fixed by disabling noise reduction and enabling Voice clarity. Woohoo!

Battery life and indicator. Fixed by doing a full slow charge cycle. Used a Samsung charger. Lol

Signal issue...turns out this was actually something with the tower. Back to good now.

Last but not least is speaker quality for media. It's Still not the best speaker In the world, but it sounds MUCH better after running a 20hz-20khz speaker test through it at 50% volume. It sounded like it was blowing, but it didn't and since then is sounding much better.

Might just keep this bad boy after all!
[LG V10 General] mgbotoe:
Glad to see you are back in the game!
[LG V10 General] planetbeen:
Thanks for the tip on speakerphone! I checked the box and will be testing that out later today.

As to signal, I'm finding mine to have better signal than my Note 2. I was finally somewhere yesterday where I knew exactly what my signal strength / data was "normally" on my note 2 (A place in the road where I lose my streaming from tunein radio app because it would switch to edge) and bam....lte the whole drive! It cut out just for a second but switched back and went back to streaming!

Now on to the "speaker test" you mentioned....what is this and what does it do? I'm all for anything that will improve sound without breaking something lol
[LG V10 General] toastido:
Np! Hope to help in some points.

I just found a test on YouTube. The intent was to just a what the range of the speaker was, but it seemed to awaken something in it lol.

Now if I could just find a good holster case for this phone....I HATE keeping phones b my pocket.

[LG V10 General] LTLFTCer:
For me, battery is medicore, since I lost UDP I have went from power user to normal use so battery lasts all day over charging my Note 3 midday previously.

No data when on call is a loss. Still tiffed that FM radio isn't enabled. Cmon Verizon, open up a bit.

The case issue is disappointing currently as previously stated by others. Beautiful phone with no good case that allows fingerprint button use easily, nor any belt clips that are nice yet. Hopefully soon.
[LG V10 General] Wicked68:
I noticed that it takes a noticeably long time to dial a call once you initiate a call, like 8 secs before you hear it start ringing. Anybody else?
[LG V10 General] Semantics:
It takes a bit long, but definitely not 8 seconds for me. I have noticed this, though. One thing that is weird is when I'm connected to WiFi calling, people can hear like every 3rd word I say. I don't get it, so I just set my preferred method to cellular network when I'm on WiFi. Kind of bugs me, and I hope its something they fix in a software update. I still absolutely love this phone.
[LG V10 General] kwestjones01:
I think that's a TMo thing. I noticed that on my note 3 depending on coverage sometimes. Usually on LTE and wifi its pretty quick. I just tried a call on my wifi and it was instantaneous.
[LG V10 General] One Twelve:
All this should go into a tips thread to be stickied. A lot of people are not going to figure it out and be upset.

[LG V10 General] bigstunta101:
This is exactly what I was trying to explain on another thread. People open up a new phone and if its not running perfect or to their utmost desires, the first response is well this phone model sucks, time to return it and get a different phone.

Call it personal choice or laziness but a lot of simple problems are easy fixes that people today are just beyond lazy to fix. We live in a world where everything should be handed to us perfectly. Granted phone makers should do their part in making premium quality phones but at the end of the day, nothings perfect. I can't wait till I get my mittens on this phone
[LG V10 General] One Twelve:
Maybe next year if samsung decides to come to their senses. Otherwise note 4 and nothing else..

Went to the shop the other day and was surprised to find the s6 e+ selling for the equivalent of $60 more than the note 5. laughed and told them they were not interested in selling the s6e+ if they wanted that much.

Who the hell buys an s6e+ in the first place ? its the note 5 you did not want to get. with the curve on the wrong side.
[LG V10 General] jamor414:
Yea no chance I would downgrade to a note 5. Samsung really screwed the pooch with that note iteration. Not even a 128gb version.
[LG V10 General] Zugshad:
Yeah I was checking that one out. They have a few models. What wondering is if it will for the Phone with a slim case o.j. it. Found a decent looking slim case c

Going to try but I've always used holster as well. Not a fan of it in my pocket. Specially when so large

Yeah. Note 5 was a total flop. 90% of those that got returned it. Horrible battery and just to iphonish. The v10 and note4 are by far the best 2 options right now.

Now as far as my impressions I haven't had many of these issues. Can't confirm fingerprint part till my case gets in but I'm going to guess it will be same issue and might try the aluminum foil trick.

Battery life is quite good on my end. I'm consistently getting 5plus hours of SOT. Here are my recent ss just to show. I'm at 30% and over 4hrs sot.

I'll get over 5hrs easy.

My guess on his wait 14days thing is he might be on jump with tmo and might just use his jump so no fees.

Those with issues I honestly think just trying some fixes. And this will be your daily driver. I'm so pleased with this phone so far I haven't picked up my note4.

The camera is phenomenal. On par with The note 4 and maybe Better. The front camera took some of the best qual selfy I've seen.

Havent had it long enough to mess with speaker. So far when playing a video it sounded pretty good. Bluetooth headset sounded decent as well. Once I can get viper up and running see what that does.

Overall I think it's a great phone and no plans on me returning it

[LG V10 General] toastido:
Funny story. I actually found a mophie iPhone 6S+ holster with the right dimensions (supposed to be a holster to hold the iPhone 6s+ WITH the external battery pack) on govx. Mophie makes good quality products so I ordered it. Also got $20 off due tip veterans day sale, so if it works out, it'll be quite a steal.

On from that, I posted on another thread about the battery life, but here are the numbers from yesterday. I find them completely acceptable, and since it was a heavy use day, I think my battery woes are over. ?
[LG V10 General] jamor414:
Impressive stats toasty.
[LG V10 General] mottyengel:
You know what, no. When spending money on premium phone, I shouldn't have to know tips and tricks to make sure the speaker works properly... That's not ok. I dont need everything handed to me on a silver plated but you shouldn't have to hack it to make it work properly. Most people won't know any of this... Its dropping the ball..
[LG V10 General] One Twelve:
Call this exchange policy. Where you can return devices and switch to something else. 14 day deadline, they go crazy try to find anything and everything wrong and then run to something else and bad mouth it on the forum of their chosen device.

The first ten pages of this thread are enough to kill any interest you may have had in this device. i feel so thankful for reviewers who have not mentioned any of the problems i'm reading about here.Why would that be i wonder.

Bad speakers ? hah

[LG V10 General] bigstunta101:
Lol and while you're exchanging your devices for a different one because of simple fixable issues, many more are having fun with the phone and taking 3 seconds to fix those problems. But at the end of the day, to each their own. Your money to spend how you see fit
[LG V10 General] robertc88:
Having only gotten it a few hours ago I'm really liking the display, the feel of the phone and the audio quality with earbuds so far.

More later after I have totally set it up. Yep, I have had my share of the latest flagships and I think this one will be a nice addition.
[LG V10 General] Yoshi1221:
After having the V10 for almost a week, I realized that I missed the S-Pen functionality in the Note series. Thankfully the V10 is a backup device and I can switch between the two devices, but not having pen input (without using fingers) and the fingerprint sensor not working with a case on convinced me to get a Note 5 as a backup. Other than that, really like the second screen, used it frequently and I liked the sound better than my Note 4. Would recommend it to people who never had a Note phone, but that S-Pen is going to help me take notes for my bachelor's degree, lol.
[LG V10 General] bigstunta101:
I had the note 2, 3, and 4 and during the years of ownership, I pulled out that pen a total of no more than 8 times for all three phones combined. Extremely useless feature to me. But the keywords "useless to me". Not trying to start a war about who likes what
[LG V10 General] One Twelve:
Still using the note 10.1 from 2012, can say i hardly use the s-pen. Samsung have actually downgraded the note this year and pushed the s6e+.

It costs more than a note which is unheard of. Then taking away expandable storage and battery drove people up the wall.

The s-pen takes an investment in time to become good with. if you do it then you will miss it when its not there.
[LG V10 General] Amd4life:
How do turn off the noise reduction for the speaker?
[LG V10 General] toastido:
It's for the speakerphone, and when you're on a speakerphone call, hit the menu button and uncheck the box.
[LG V10 General] Amd4life:
Coming from a Note4, is there anyway to make the background blacks more black? The black is more material/grayish vs the deep black of the Samsung amoled screens.

Not really until you get an aftermarket kernel that can be tweaked

[LG V10 General] k5mitch:
I originally bought a AT&T Note 5 in August. I have terrible coverage in my neighborhood so I'm forced to use a microcell. The Note 5 doesn't play well with the microcell, it dropped the signal when I would make a call or send a text about 60% to 80% of the time. I finally got AT&T to take it back after 20+ hours of phone calls, texts and tweets. So far the V10 hadn't had a problem.

Mugen Battery now has an extended battery for the V10 for $99.00. I have used them in the pass and their batteries always got the job done for me.

I have been really impressed by this phone and the hifi DAC. An app allows the DAC to work with all the apps you listen to music through. Also amazing screen, LCD screens are easier on my eyes and since I do a lot of reading on the web, I really appreciate the white that LCDs produce on the web.
[LG V10 General] tempurastyle:
The sound quality of the V10 is second to none. I use quality sennheiser in ear and over ear headphones to listen to those small sound details and the V10 doesn't disappoint. My previous phones were iphones, samsungs, htcs. All of them have terrible background hiss noise with plugged in headphones when there is no sound playing. The V10 is the first phone i encounter with almost no background noise. You really need to listen very carefully to even notice it.

This is for the out of the box KDZ firmware. If you took the recent OTA and updated, BEWARE. LG has been implementing a security LOCK that prevents and HARDBRICKS your device if you try to downgrade.

I know that the LG G4 will hard brick if you attempt to downgrade. There has been no reports of bricking by doing this if you previously taken the Verizon OTA update but be warned and be prepared to potentially blow up your device.

This method is specifically for those who Rooted the Stock 11A and want to revert back to stock so they CAN take the OTA. There is no confirmed method to gain root on the newer OTA firmware. So beware on that too.

I was on a Rooted 11A stock image and I just flashed the KDZ back to Stock 11A (non-rooted):

Copy everything to a folder on your desktop.

Download Mode:

POWER OFF DEVICE

Once off, press and hold VOL-UP and insert USB cable

Make sure you install "Download mode" drivers. Look in the "COM PORTS" section of device manager. You should see a "DIAG" driver on some random COM port (mine was COM6).

Launch LG Flash Tool.

First Window:

KEEP DEFAULT SETTINGS. Load the KDZ (from above) into the Flash Tool. Click CSE FLASH.

Second Window:

Just click Start

Third Window:

KEEP THE DEFAULT Language settings. The KDZ will determine the language.

And finally, just let it do its thing. I didn't have an error but it would probably be driver related. I initially saw a bunch of "?????????" in the Status (fourth) Window. That is normal. Your Tablet should display the same COM Port your DIAG driver was installed on. But just leave it alone. A full install took about 5-10minutes. I walked away and came back to the new Setup Screen.
