Literally just got home from tmobile. Jury is still out, I will say the displays are beautiful. Been with Sammy forever so this is an adjustment, that's for sure.

So far I love this puppy - only had it a few hours. The first phone I grabbed from the T-Mobile store had backlight bleed bad in the upper left display corner, so I exchanged it on the spot. New phone is good as gold and I love it way more than I did my Note 5 - something about LG, just feels more innovative. The Note 5 was a great phone, but the V10 feels like a more fun one. I already LOVE the second screen. It's useful unlike Samsung's useless junk edge screen.
[LG V10 General] Warrior1975:
I love the second screen as well. Quite useful. Love the primary screen as well, really is a beautiful phone.

Just in case you didn't know, swipe left on the second screen when the phone is locked and music is playing and you can still control the music player.
[LG V10 General] Derpling:
You had note 5? i asking cause i currently have Note 5 and i can't see any reason to exchange to v10, had G4 before. tell me how good it is.
[LG V10 General] The5Venomz:
I picked this up last night and I plan on returning it today. I'm just not impressed with anything other then the camera... Sometimes my screen gets unresponsive and I have to power off the screen. It works after that, just a minor annoyance. Also almost every time I pick up my phone the option to change the text on the second screen pops up. My biggest issue and the reason that I'm returning it is because the speaker is absolutely the worst that I have ever heard on a phone. I came from the N6 and I know it will be hard to beat it, I just need something louder. I really wanted the Edge+ and I regret not going with my gut instinct. And to be honest I'm probably not giving this a fair chance.
[LG V10 General] Derpling:
I had the G4, while overall phone was ok and the camera is the best next to Note 5(and GS6 Iphone 6s+), the phone wouldn't deliever it overall, speaker was ok, battery terrible, screen brightness could be much better, gaming is aweful(med to heavy games), low end sound chip, video is shaky most of times, overheating at times, some lag and some more...

I gave up this phone after two months, picked the Note 5 and never looking back, this phone, specially after root is light years ahead of G4 in terms of performance, specially in heavy games, sound quality of speaker is OK but nothing special, headphones is pleasure, probably the V10 with the high end chip might be better in that terms, screen is the best i've seen, brightness top notch, battery is awesome... the two biggest draw back is non removeable battery and lack of SD card.
[LG V10 General] alwayslearning:
you are right about the speaker! beside that it is a great phone if you like the size of it. I have a G2 Pro with a 5.9" screen and they are close to the same size and my G2 Pro is weighs less.

another issue that I miss is there is no LED notification light, not that I can find. you have to have the 2nd screen on all the time if you want to get notifications, but it is with an icon not an LED

one last thing, there is no short cut in the drop down for hot spot, you have to go into settings>networks>tethering the hot spot is something I use all the time, now i have to create a short cut icon on my home screen
[LG V10 General] DROID3R:
The worst thing you can do to a new phone is restoring crap from a previous phone.
[LG V10 General] psycho1:
I'm coming from a note 2 that I had since release. This v10 is a beast. Beautiful screen. Very responsive.. The second screen I see as a really fancy notification window. Yes the sound is weak.. And I'm still having a hard time with no led. But Damn. Everything else on this phone is so Nice. Plus removable battery. Expandable storage. Plus the promotion. Wow..
[LG V10 General] bkeaver:
I just JOD from the note 5 and while it is still early yet for me to judge I'm not seeing any huge things to go back. I'm liking the fact that it has a removable battery and sd card which LG is giving us an extra battery and a 200gb sd card.

Its all about personal preference.
[LG V10 General] Airtioteclint:
Cons -

speakers as some have already mentioned. I can barely hear it until pass the the 70%.

Modem. Really weak wifi and radio signals.

Edit - one more con, no way to turn off fast charge. I never trusted or use it. I'm forced to use a non fast charge charger.

Pros -

Everything else. :D
[LG V10 General] jamor414:
I've never had a good wifi/radio signal phone so just another typical day for me :highfive:

htc and samsung most notably.
[LG V10 General] Semantics:
This might be the worst wifi and radio signal I've ever had on any phone. The reason this is so disappointing to me is that they claim this phone uses Qualcomm's TruSignal feature which should give great signal strength. I've already had several dropped calls or people just getting frustrated saying "Your phone keeps breaking up". This is pretty annoying to me, never had this issue on the G3. I hope its a software tweak fix or something. What good is being the first phone to use TruSignal if TruSignal is utter trash?
[LG V10 General] Warrior1975:
Wifi is greatly improved from my Note 4. I've only made a few calls but no issues.

Wow is it really that bad? That's a bummer.
[LG V10 General] mgbotoe:
No issues here ^.^
[LG V10 General] Semantics:
Going to contact T-Mobile I guess, absolutely love the phone but the radio is horrid. Actually, I'll need to wait until buyers remorse is over because they won't do an exchange during buyers remorse. Have to return the phone and re order. So dumb.
[LG V10 General] Warrior1975:
I would, my signal is definitely improved over my Note 4,both wifi and radio. Sorry for your troubles.

I've yet to use navigation, but it was terrible on my Note 4. Anyone use it yet?

[LG V10 General] Semantics:
Yeah my experience seems to defy the entire intended experience. This is what the V10 official page says.

Amid the bustle of everyday life is noise and disruption. The LG V10 is the first commercially available device fitted with the Qualcomm TruSignal antenna boost technology, engineered to give the device unprecedented call and network quality no matter how you hold the phone. So even out in the most congested urban setting, keeping in touch with friends and family doesn’t have to include finding an isolated side street so you can hear them.
[LG V10 General] aygul12345:
Wich phone do you prefer?
[LG V10 General] Airtioteclint:
Yikes, that sucks. This is the first phone I've owned with such weak signals. It is also my first lg device in years.
[LG V10 General] Warrior1975:
My first lg device ever... I'm enjoying it so far. Still adjusting from damn near a decade with Sammy.

Hey try changing your apn. It worked for me my signals is much better now. I changed minee to match my note edge. The main difference being apn protocol ipv4/ipv6 vs the default of only ipv6.
[LG V10 General] Derpling:
If that works for you then it's awesome, V10 is the G4 that should have been from get go.
[LG V10 General] Semantics:
Thanks, I'll give it a shot!

I've been exclusive to LG since the Nexus 4. I really love their phones and the innovations. I'm satisfied with the phone, few quirks they can iron out, but nothing that would make me return it. Changing the APN has seemed to help my signal also.
[LG V10 General] younghov22:
I have both right now. And I love the Note 5. I'm trying to like this V10. But it's something about it. I have to give a few days before I can give it a fair assessment. I love having my SD card and battery access back in a snappy phone. And the fingerprint scanner is good, just not as good as the Note 5.
[LG V10 General] Semantics:
It probably helps this is the first phone I've owned with a fingerprint scanner. Seems to work flawlessly for me but I have nothing to compare it to, I just know it works and its easier than inputting my knock code.
[LG V10 General] worldwidepmp:
24 hours in and I agree with the annoying auto-brightness, weak speaker and Wi-Fi, esp. when I'm upstairs in my bedroom. Everything else is working flawlessly for me. I'm keeping it.
[LG V10 General] younghov22:
Respect to that bro. Also I'm not sure if it's my device, but I see that slight light bleeding in the top left corner of the 2nd screen and during video playback the main screen seems a bit duller than the Note 5. Again, I'm still plowing through it though.
[LG V10 General] kolembo:
[MENTION=4749794]Warrior1975[/MENTION] extremely interested to know how it's going. I have the Note 4 and edge plus, and thinking about this. My main concern is battery and camera.

I'd love to hear more as you go along.
[LG V10 General] mottyengel:
Crap.. really.. Mine also has the top left light bleed but i thought that was on all of them.. because i saw that on a review.. your new one doesnt have that?.. remind me.. why is light bleed bad?
[LG V10 General] mottyengel:
didnt know that... awesome. although, if you double tab the screen the control for the lockscreen comes up too... but still
[LG V10 General] mottyengel:
Great, i found someone else who switched from a note 5, maybe you can help me make up my mind. I have boths still because they mailed it to me and i can still return it if i want.

I find that i have lag and like someone else said, i had an unresponsive screen a couple times, one time i actually had to take out the battery, that is not cool... The note 5 really flies...

batterry life isnt as good as the note but with an LG spare, it wont be a big deal.

Screen just doesnt get as bright...
[LG V10 General] mottyengel:
i've noticed that as well though.. certain parts of my house the signal is just not as good as it was with the note 5.. wifi or lte... not thrilled..
[LG V10 General] mottyengel:
Thinking the same thing... dissapointing.. you think it can be software?..
[LG V10 General] mottyengel:
Note 4 had inexplicably bad gps... no phone will ever be that bad..
[LG V10 General] alhadee12:
Anyone having problems with LG SmartWorld?
[LG V10 General] mottyengel:
you're killing me because you're confirming everything i'm seeing.. WHat do you mean about having to wait 14 days? why?
[LG V10 General] Warrior1975:
I'll keep you posted. Battery life so far seems to be on par with the Note 4. Camera I've only taken a few quick pics, probably end up taking some more tonight.

Overall I'm happy with this phone. I do miss my note a little bit, probably first time I've ever felt that way when getting a new phone. I've been a Sammy fan for quite sometime, in 8 years I've had 2 non Sammy phones, one was an iPhone which was only for a few months.

Definitely need more time, but there are some definite advantages with this phone. You can still take screen shots and write in the screen with your finger, so I'm not missing the stylus too much. I was a big fan of the write app, which I will definitely miss. The dual screen is really nice, just wish I could make the secondary screen brighter.

[LG V10 General] bkeaver:
Battery for first day and first cycle with still downloading apps / uninstalling apps and messing with settings .... Not too terrible, should get only better from here

I've personally not been experiencing any lag or stutters. Camera is right up there with my note5, the screen is awesome.

I'm not seeing any downside really with this. So like I have said earlier it just comes down to personal preference.
[LG V10 General] mgbotoe:
Is anyone else able to confirm all of the cons?

My LTE seems fine in my area...have not yet have my BT disconnect or failing to reconnect. I guess will pay more atention.

Battery life I cannot comment on...I am still setting up my phone and the apps I run...just not great for battery lol.

Which kind of knock on we talking about? The regular one or the one for security with the weird knocking all over the screen version?....I personally use it, don't care for it.

The finger print I am not too sure about, I currently do not have a case on, so i cannot comment. I imagine if anyone is using a case that will put a big cap on that area, it wont work.

Microphone for me been ok, was on a skype convo for an hour straight with no hiccup...but I will pay more attention to this as well.

The speaker....I really dont use speakers on my phone. I like to say I am death when it comes to "great" speakers vs "unacceptable" ones....I just use my bluetooth....lol

I just want to see if you have a bad batch or this is the general norm. Btw...I am not sure what you mean by the 14 day stuff, if you return it after 14 days they will not allow it? You will be stuck with the phone?
[LG V10 General] toastido:
T-Mo has a 14 day new device 'remorse period' that kicks a $50 restocking fee. If I wait 14 days I just use JUMP to go to another device without any issue. Stupid policy, IMO.
[LG V10 General] Semantics:
Make sure on video playback you hit the 3 dot menu top right and make sure brightness is up. The video app has an independent brightness setting.
[LG V10 General] worldwidepmp:
I was able to get almost 4.5 sot on my first charge. I'm not concerned with the battery, I have fast chargers in my car, home and work. Speaker is not really an issue either because I'm barely on the phone and I don't use it for many things like streaming services etc, just noticed it wasn't as loud as my Note 4. The only qualm is the wi-fi signal in my house being weak when I'm upstairs. Definitely didn't have that with Note 4. Bluetooth works fine. I don't plan on using a case, completely comfortable without it.
[LG V10 General] Semantics:
I do think so. This is the first phone using the TruSignal antenna, they might need to tweak a driver or something.

---------- Post added at 01:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ----------

Bluetooth connects to my car 100% of the time when I enter it. Pairs just fine with my LG Infinim and Sony BT headset as well with no issues of disconnect. My LTE is great outdoors, but when I'm inside I get terrible signal, which wasn't the case on my LG G3. T-Mobile is sending me a 4G LTE Signal Booster to fix the issue at home. My speaker is obnoxiously loud and I got 4 hours 19 mins of SoT on my first charge, hopefully that improves. I'm on pace for about 3 hours and 40 mins on my second charge, but I have had GPS on all day and lots of bluetooth streaming.
[LG V10 General] toastido:
LTE is great in my area, too... just not on this device. As for the BT issues, I've seen it before on other things, just never experienced it myself. Happened on both a speaker and my car head unit.

yeah, I did all that stuff while plugged into a normal "non-fast" charger which kept it hovering around 50%.. then when I finished setting it up, hooked it to the fast charger

I"m just talking about the wake-up/regular one. Not the security one. Basically the one where the screen goes off and you knock it to turn it back on. Worked for a while, then just quit.

Yeah, the one I was using doesn't put anything "on" that area.. in fact, it leaves a bunch of space open around that area to use the fingerprint reader... but alas, it only works if the finger is completely flat/flush against the phone when touching the reader...otherwise it doesn't even see it as valid (I attempted to retrain it with the case on and it never would recognize I even had my finger over the reader).

If you weren't on speakerphone, they may not have noticed. I had no complaints when on headphones or using as a handset. Also, it may be related to phone calls in specific and not other apps. Not sure, just know what my experience was on this one.. didn't try Skype.

I use speakerphone a LOT for my job, where I need both hands free, and can't have my peripheral hearing impaired by headsets/earbuds/etc. It just sounded absolutely horrible to me, for both phone calls AND media output. When compared to other phones speakers, or even my Nexus 7 2012 tablet (which had an awful speaker) it just sounds like garbage.

I've seen others report on a few of the items, and when I discussed it with the store rep, they had heard a few of the same complaints.

The reason I have to wait 14 days was noted above - TMo's new device policy for JUMP on demand - the first 14 days are reserved for RETURNS or exchange of like item due to defect; If I wanted to return it there would be a restocking fee, then I could "re-buy" another device.. otherwise, wait 14 days then JUMP clean and clear. It's no big deal, and I'm not stuck with the phone any longer than that 14 day period.

One thing I will do during this period is keep a look out for any updates. If they come out, I'll apply them and then re-try the device to see if any of the cons have been cleared up... but either way, I'm highly dissatisfied and disappointed... I was looking forward to this device for the past month :/

Hope that clears some stuff up for you.
[LG V10 General] mgbotoe:
Oh it does! I will definitely keep lookouts for the things you have been talking about. I will say you should give another v10 a try (claim defect) the phone is just so nice for me. But hey, you can't say you didn't try. But given your speaker issues, it sounds like a major deal breaker if I were in your shoe though. Will return it the next day hahaha

We all have our nitpicks on phones, usually if mine aint satisfy...the phone is gone so I can't really blame you there

---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------

BTW [MENTION=5502546]toastido[/MENTION] for your knock on issues, were you experiencing it when fingerprint lockscreen security was enabled?

I just tried it with the two scenario and I am noticing with it enabled, the feature is not so....friendly I will say. Not as responsive.
[LG V10 General] toastido:
Yeah, since I've gotta hang onto it for the 14 day period, I do plan on re-testing it if/when new firmware rears its head, but we'll see...they didn't have any more to do an exchange with or I'd have at least tried that first..

I'm probably not keeping it though... Just too many issues and it left a bad taste in my mouth. :(

As for the knock issues, I could turn OFF lockscreen security completely and it still didn't work. It's like it just stopped working altogether. It worked great for a while but then quit.
[LG V10 General] LancerV:
Lol yep it was so bad could be driving in clear daylight and be like gps signal lost
[LG V10 General] mottyengel:
So you mean to use one of your jump upgrades?? that's BS! I'm saving those for actual upgrades. If this phone is really a piece of crap and these issues don't get fixed with software, im leaving and they better not charge me a restocking fee!

FYI, you get a free 200gb sd card out of the deal anyway, no? even if you dont hold onto the phone, once you send in the receipt and IMEI, they dont know, right?
[LG V10 General] toastido:
Yeah. You get 3 per year, and since I don't change phones very often, I'm not concerned with it.
[LG V10 General] Semantics:
This phone is not a piece of crap. Not sure where you got that impression from. My suggestion would be don't get the phone unless you don't mind using an upgrade or paying the restocking fee. T-Mobile is pretty clear on their policies, like them or not.
[LG V10 General] mottyengel:
I'm coming off as sounding entitled, i know it's clear in their policies, but they're very good at being reasonable with credits. No, it's not a piece of crap but Signal strength weakness is an absolute no no. T-mobile is not amazing indoors as it is, a phone that already starts with a weaker signal is terrible...

In fact, out of all the cons, (lag, battery, etc) that is really a killer. A phone with subpar service isn't worth sticking around for..

And I already bought the phone...
[LG V10 General] Semantics:
I get a weak signal indoors at home, its fine at work. 5 minutes on the phone with T-Mobile and they're shipping me a 4G LTE Signal Booster free of charge to fix this issue. I'm confident they need to tweak the TruSignal driver from Qualcomm or something, its the first phone on the market with this antenna tech, they will sort it out. Outdoors, the signal is just fine.
[LG V10 General] baymon:
oh my god, this one annoyed the heck outta me today. I also noticed that the brightness won't go into 100% when you open the camera app like it does on Samsung. I do miss that coming from note 4.

With that said, here are my thoughts so far:

-Body is longer compared to note 4. Still have mixed feelings on the stainless grip, I actually kinda wished that the sides are the ones that are rubberized instead since the stainless makes it a little slippery to grip.

-As a photog, I'm loving the camera in this phone. Manual mode is pretty great, and now that Snapseed is able to edit RAW makes it even sweeter. I do wish that they would give more adjustments options for the front facing camera. At least in note 4 you can adjust the EV on the FFC, V10 doesn't give you any image adjustment for them twins.

-Switching between apps is a breeze, and the 4GB is a safe haven for the apps in the background.

-I do notice that the it's not picking up the 5Ghz wifi signal as well as the note 4 does. I'm getting 2 bars less on the same SSID compared to my note 4, side by side.

Can't comment on anything else like battery life, signal quality etc since I have yet to transfer everything and use this as a daily driver. But I can't wait for my 200GB microsd to arrive. =)
[LG V10 General] mottyengel:
I'm a wedding videographer and I'm in different venues every day. Service is always sketchy. The drop I'm seeing just in my house where my note 5 had much better means the different venues i go too will have close to nothing. Yeah, if they can fix it, great, but if they cant do it in 14 days....i may have to leave. 4g booster? that's not the asus router they gave everyone a while ago? I didn't know they were giving out signal boosters
[LG V10 General] baymon:
no it's different from the asus wifi calling router. You can call tmobile and ask for it, they'll loan it to you for free.

It's a two separate unit that you'll put at opposite end of your house, then it creates a signal bubble.
[LG V10 General] mottyengel:
sounds cool, i will.

[LG V10 General] The5Venomz:
I took it back, got the Edge + somehow got out of the restocking fee after the guy who sold it to me last night seen me in there and I explained and showed him my issues.
[LG V10 General] mottyengel:
Well, that's what i meant earlier. I'm sure that even if that doesn;t work, you can definitely get someone at customer care to refund the restocking fee if you call before you go. I had it shipped so I'm still inpossesion of both phones. I can just send the V10 back and have them waive the fee... but i really want to like it.
[LG V10 General] The5Venomz:
I wanted to as well... But I think my mind was made up before I got it, and the speaker being so bad it made it impossible for me to be happy with it. So far I love the Edge+ even though they trashed it in the store.
[LG V10 General] mgbotoe:
Why get a phone your mind was made up not to like before you got it? lol
[LG V10 General] The5Venomz:
Because the salesman trashed the Edge so much... And the LG promo with removable battery pushed me over the edge lol... I submitted my promo, maybe it will still come, maybe not. And I Really wanted to like the phone.
[LG V10 General] Airtioteclint:
I may have posted a few cons earlier but I meant it when I said the pros were EVERYTHING ELSE. I am very happy with the phone and like it better than when I upgraded to the notes 4 and note edge from the s4. (still love my s4 it's still a beast).
