[LG V20 Questions & Answers] kxhaz:
So my wife and I just got our phones yesterday afternoon. I have been a Motorola or Samsung smartphone person the whole time (Droid X, Bionic, Galaxy Nexus, S4, Nexus 6, Note 5, S7 Edge, Note 7 v1, S7 Edge, Note 7 v2) and I was not sure about trying LG. I really liked my S7 Edge before going to the Note 7 and then hated it when I had to go back waiting on v2 of the Note 7. I looked at all the Moto phones and the ones I would think of were Verizon exclusives until I had pre-ordered the V20. We got the G5 after we turned our Note 7 v2 back in waiting for the V20. I went from saying the G5 didn't suck too bad to saying it was not a bad phone. I guess the week+ I had with it got be use to the LG skin. I really like the V20, the phone is solid and the 2nd screen to me is more useful that the side option on the Edge and Note 7 (which I really liked both of those). I low light the camera is not up to the new Samsung phones. However overall I am very happy with this phone. I think the thing I miss the most is Samsung Pay, I used that all the time, Android Pay is not the same. I also miss package disabler, I don't want to lose Andriod Pay by rooting, but would like to disable some of the apps that package disabler would let you without rooting. I am going to throw out the Note 7 since it was recalled, this is the best large screen phone I have ever had. I had someone who has a Note 7 still today look at my phone as they are trying to figure out what to do and said they like how big the screen is, I told them it was the same size, just not rounded with the edge. Also Nougat is the real deal, love everything about it so far.

Coming from a Galaxy S7 and I just got mine yesterday evening, but the front facing camera seems kind of fuzzy and I'd like an LED so I could see if I have a notification. Other than those two minor dislikes, I'm loving it. The Quad DAC is super nice with my mid range headphones. Hoping there's a good developer community or at least a root released so I can change the screen DPI.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] mrcarterac:
I wish the front camera had a flash and the second screen at the bottom of the device.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
You can change the DPI with Nougat. It's in settings.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
I'm a bit surprised they didn't implement the white screen "flash" that's in some 3rd party camera software. I have to double check but I think Camera FV-5 implemented this recently but I don't know if it will be compatible with the V20 yet or not. I can tell you when I finally get my hands on mine as I've got the app.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] vegeta1389:
I actually discovered that after I posted. Thank you for the information!

Because it was only YOUR Note 7. My was perfect with ZERO of the hiccups you had on YOURS.:D

You are a Samsung fan boy and you don't know what a speedy phone is :D

BTW I had altogether 4 Note 7 phones and they all were laggy and had bad battery life.

But peace. I am glad that the Note 7 caught fire because otherwise I never would have tried an LG phone. Never go back to Samsung. TW is crap.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dkb218:
Oh My GOSH... I am a Samsung Fan....

Speedy phone. I just don't care how many milliseconds it takes to open an app if the device is boring as all giddy-up. Not saying the V20 is boring - haven't had a chance to hate it yet but its made my LG so there's something wrong with it. Or maybe LG finally got it right.

Enjoy your V20. I'll be checking in and hoping it actually is a good device....

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dbornack:
Odd that Music App won't let you change the EQ while Quad DAC is enabled. I use PowerAmp anyways, but just found that odd.

Also, when the Quad is on, it limits volume to 75% it seems. I don't know why this is. Maybe I'm missing an override setting or something.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] PunishedSnake:
Not yet
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] chipworkz:
I know it SAYS 75 but turn it down one click to 70. Then turn off the quad dac and with it off, notice you can only go up one click. Either way, it is the max volume, it just says 75 for whatever reason.

Wireless charging would have been nice but no big deal without it for me. Comoared to Samsung N7, S7 ect..., i think this v20 was very well thought out functionally. Very efficent and useful the way its laid out. I love it. Touch wiz/Grace can suck it. Samsung really screwed up focing others tonexplore new territory, am sure manybwont return

I wonder how much attention the v20 would have gotten if the note 7 would have been successful and never been recalled/caught fire.

I definitely wouldn't have switched. I've used ONLY Samsung since the S2, I handed my Note7 to T-Mobile yesterday and I'm definitely not looking back.

She's a bit slippy. Was hoping, with the "MilSpec" advertising, I could use the new phone naked, something I've wanted to do since the Note 3, and couldn't (iPhone 6 plus, then two all-glass phones! After shattering the screen on my S6E I didn't exactly want to risk it with the Note7).

But now I'm scared I'll accidentally drop it, in part because it's so thin. I was trying to put it on the bedside table and was that if I didn't take special care, it would go careening off the edge. 'Course, I'm dog-sitting, so it's not 'my' bed-side table and not a setup with which I'm overly comfortable on all fronts. New phone, no case, new bed, new (far away) table... So we'll see how it shakes out.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] chavist:
Respectfully disagree regarding the battery life on the phone. With my note 7 I was getting 28hrs a charge, after initial charge I an averaging around 10 hrs a day. Definitely hoping battery life will improve with use..*sidenote* anyone have a good disabling app like package disabler
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] dbornack:
Weird. Hah.. alrighty then.

Bought the note 7 got the Fit 2 for free. Got the Note 7 V2 and got the 256gb sd card for free. Now got the V20 with $200 Promo + the headphones .. Cant complain :D

I've been a Samsung fan for a long time, this is my first non Samsung phone in about 4 years...I have to say pretty good so far. It's no Note 7, but it's not that far off...but next Samsung Note series or whatever they call it comes out, this phone is going to be Jumped in a heartbeat, LG is just not the permanent phone for me... Oh yea, the camera on LG, it's good, but not even close to the Note 7.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] DLovo313:

Battery charging is actually pretty slow...
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Skripka:
Either your cable is bad, your charger is bad, or something else is going on.

6 hours to charge mean it isn't doing any variable amp/voltage charging at all. Hell it isn't even doing 10W QC1.0 charging.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] tonyevo52:
Going to let it charge and not mess with it and see how it goes.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] BlackKnight23:
I love the phone, only wish battery is bigger. I switch phones like crazy had Samsung S7 edge, Note 7, HTC 10, and LG G5. This phone is by far my favorite. I love the way it handles notifications and keeps them in the second screen. I didnt like the first boot and couple of days it had a studders.

Correct me if I'm wrong but this phone doesnt even come with a QC 3.0? I'm using my HTC quick charge 3.0 adapter and it charges fast

Worst feature so far... Cant manually adjust brightness when auto-brightness is selected!! Better be fixed with 1st update!!

---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 PM ----------

Can we also get "clear all" from recents moved to bottom ☺
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jinkerz9430:
yes you can. To adjust it when is on auto-brightness you just have to press the icon. and it goes from 0 to 50 or to 90. Then to make it do the auto-brightness again you just have to put the finger near the sensor that detects light spectrum and it will auto-adjust once again, or you press the check box to deactivate it and activate it again.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] bjc112:
Excellent, can't belive I didn't press the icon!

Cheers ?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Pick_A_Name:
I've had the Note 1, 2, 4, and 7 and the LG G3. The G3 is the only phone I've ever run naked. To me, how these phones differ in look and feel is meaningless because there will be a case on it. On day one of having my N7, I was laying on the ground using my tablet with the phone in my pocket. I hadn't received my case yet. Because the phone is mostly glass, it is slick as hell. It actually slid out of my pocket falling about 3" and cracked the back and the glass covering the back lens. All I'm concerned with is how does it feel with it's case on. I talked with an LG rep at Tmo yesterday and told him I might run it without a case because of it's build quality, but he said while it is well built they don't suggest running naked.

I don't have the N7 to compare against, but vs. my N4 the V20's screen is about 40% brighter which is more than I need. I agree the N7 has a beautiful, if over saturated, screen. I don't care for the edge though. The V20's notification screen is much more useful to me because it doesn't interfere with the main screen.

The N7's battery life was atrocious for us. We had 4 of them in my family and everyone said the same thing. We had all come from the N4 as well. Having a removable battery take that worry out for me.

My V20 hasn't showed up yet so I can't compare the cameras, but the N7's camera was amazing coming from N4. I was going to put up with the edge screen because the camera was that good (for a phone). Well that and the S-Pen, which I will miss. The V20 will get me by until Samsung figures out what they're going to do, but I'm sure I'll go back to the N8 when it comes because of the S-Pen.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] ice5192:
1st time LG user have to state this phone is top notch I am a long time user of Samsung and after the lies and recall I came to LG very impressed. My v20 runs very smooth.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] 2muchspl:
Coming from deep in the Sammy fanclub,I must say I enjoy my v20 much more than the 1st few hours after activating it. My advanced text wasnt working right and I thought I lost the 'blah is typing' and read receipts. After a few power cycles and a few dozen test text between the Mrs S7E & daughters J7 it seems to be sorted out. My other issues were known well before I preordered so I wont complain about the rear power button or lack of physical home button. I do hate the emoji's inside the stock keyboard. Im not sure if we can revert them to the Samsung style or what (love info on this)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
Should hopefully just be a matter of finding a keyboard you like and switching over to it. I'll look at the stock stuff but at the moment my plan is to use Google Now launcher and Google keyboard.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] 2muchspl:
[MENTION=7789117]CHH2[/MENTION] I think that might be what I'll have to do as well, try the popular keyboards until I find one I like. So far my gripes arent really deal breaking for me. Im still learning what were Samsung things vs Android things like profile sharing. I loved being able to change my profile pic and it changed inside other peoples devices.

Edit: If you have a spare samsung phone running 6.0 like my Mrs old deactivated Note 4. You can simply add you number in the profile and edit pic. I did have to let it make a wifi call (which came to the V20) and enter the numeric temp 4 digit code into the N4. This might be due to her never using Profile Sharing on this device. Atleast now I can control my pics on Samsung devices,hopefully all carriers adopt a universal Profile sharing protocol.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Jooosty:
A few things I didnt like but arent particularly deal breakers,

- The camera is OK (front and back), not as good as my old S7E, however there are plenty of features.

- three total themes lol, samsung has plenty, HTC even has plenty.

- as others have stated, why the CLEAR ALL button on the top right? LOL , you have to do finger acrobats just to perform the action. Sheesh

Other than that, this phone is pretty darn solid.

Use emoji switcher from the play store. You can load different emoji's. (not sure if that requires root or not? Sorry)

What messaging app shows you the typing status of whoever your texting with? The only only I know that does that Google's allo.

Sent from my Note 6 (Note 4 with Note 7 rom)
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] 2muchspl:
You are correct....root will be needed for the emoji switcher. The stock emoji have become a priority once rooted. Hopefully Xposed will work so I can disable the YouTube ads. I honestly had forgotten how bad the ads were until I left my rooted Note 3 for the Note7. I hadnt clicked 'skip ad' in 4 years

The messaging app that shows other recipient typing is a stock feature,both phones must be on VoLTE IIRC (no sprint) and have advanced messaging which might of started with 6.0

But the advanced messaging features work cross platform? From the LG to Samsung?

[MENTION=2326775]Araltd[/MENTION] yes. Works perfectly.. On Sammys it says delivered then read once someone reads it. On the LG V20 I get single black check then it turns into a double blue check once read. Tested from Mrs. S7Edge to my V20 multiple times..also sent about 40 text to my sister also on a S7E.

Extra INFO: we are all on T-Mobile,but let me text a few different people.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Araltd:
That's awesome. I don't see advanced messaging right now? I guess this rom I'm using on my note 4 (a note 7 port) isn't showing any such feature. :(

[MENTION=2326775]Araltd[/MENTION] Ok here is something interesting.

Text to my cousin LG Stylo (Metro PCS) no longer produces read receipts like it did on my Note 7. I also texted him from the Mrs. S7E..which is running 6.0.1 like my old Note 7 did not give receipts either.

N7 T-Mobile -- LG Stlyo MPCS= Read receipts

S7E T-Mobile -- LG Stylo MPCS = no receipts

LG V20 T-mobile -- LG Stylo MPCS = no receipts

I miss a notification LED. The second screen in low light is way too dim for me to see even close up.

I wish that Otterbox had a commuter case for it. The Defender is huge!

After using it for a while, I guess the second screen is fairly bright, as long as you are looking at it straight on.

Has anyone experienced any lag, I also experienced something that sounds like interference when switching betweens and listening to YouTube and or Apple music :confused:
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jinkerz9430:
The only lag i have experienced is when i open many applications for the first time. (and it is just a little lag), then when i reopen all of them there is not even sign of lag. i figure is because each app has to create its own cache
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Bootup:

IR Blaster FTW!!! This makes up for the lack of LED notifications...

As of now, the lag has disappeared without the need of going into developer mode, on the other hand, if there is some lag in the near future, i will use the first option you gave me :good::good:.

By the way, There is no root yet for the LG V20 (H918) People are trying like crazy many methods, yet none of them have succeeded. I think im going to try myself too :P
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jrwingate6:
I personally don't miss my notification light. To tell you the truth, I stopped paying attention to my light since it would blink for every little thing.

I am loving this second display though. I can see exactly what notifications are sitting there and I can read facebook comments without unlocking the phone.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Lumince:
Well there's a few things that disappoint me...

The fact that the audio max is set to 75 instead of 100. The lact of a notification LED kind of bummed me out. Coming from a Note 7, this is a very disorienting experience.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] bjc112:
Is the max audio limited?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Pick_A_Name:
Someone said earlier that 75 isn't percent but just the scale they used for some inexplicable reason.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] bjc112:
Well for what it's worth, definitely lower than my note 7 with the LG tone platinums

If you turn the headset more than 50 Ω impedance and HI FI DAC will sound almost two times stronger.

If you do not have HI FI headset, you can use this adapter with a impedance of 75, 100 or 175 Ω

I know this is a really unimportant thing but can anyone tell me if the AT&T retail package (since they LOVE to rebox everything in their cheesy box) has any USB Micro to USB C adapters? Ive seen reviews from preproduction models and reviews on youtube including 2 adapters, but AT&T usually short changes us.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Zaphon:
I went and looked at one in a local t-mobile. In comparison to my Nexus 6P I couldn't stand the UI. It felt like a bad rip off of touch wiz (which I absolutely hate). I also went by a Verizon to check out the Pixel XL. Both phones are ridiculously fast, however I could only handle the UI on the Pixel. However, I'm not switching to Verizon, and I don't feel like paying $850+ for a phone. So I'm sticking with my Nexus 6P for now sadly.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Lumince:
All of these issues are probably just from using a note 7 and having high expectations for this phone, but im slowly starting to dislike this phone more and more.... The UI is starting to disgust me. Airplane mode seems to turn off Bluetooth, I use Bluetooth ear buds for work and I already get no service at my work so I use airplane mode so im not killing my battery. The battery life seems to suck... The second screen is meh. The music app it comes with blows. (The Samsung music app I used on my Note 7 crashes on it, of course it does...) Camera is terrible imo. I dislike the fact that it displays my musics album picture while its on the lock screen. I probably can change these sounds, but the swipe sound on the lock screen is eh, and the same for the lock and unlock sounds. The HIFI DAC does not seem to do anything. The HIFI DAC seems to be a tad bit louder and thats it. My music on my note 7, imo, was better.

Again, I probably should have expected this instead of getting my hopes up thinking it would be the best thing that could replace my note 7. But Im stuck with this phone if I dont replace it with something else by the 2nd of Nov. This feels more like a rant than an opinion :|
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Skripka:
User error... You're playing mp3 music files or the DAC is otherwise off, aren't you?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Lumince:
User error? DAC is on. I made sure it was. It just sounds louder. Nothing else that sounds different to me. If its user error, then all well.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
The DAC is at its best when using high impedance headphones (someone suggested over 50 ohm) and higher quality files that are either lossless or high rate mp3. Otherwise you will see minimal improvement.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] jrwingate6:
My battery life if as good if not better than my S7E. Especially standby time.
