I think you should be happy with type c regardless of how many old charges you have. At least you don't have to worry about them dang prongs being pushed in no more making the charger useless
[LG V20 Real Life Review] albinoman887:
my phone was running really fast but today it was going really slow. I ended up going into twrp and wiping dalvik and cache and disabled a few more apps with titianium backup (T-mobile stuff) and it seems okay again. hopefully it stays. is there a better way to disable apps then titianium backup i feel like TB is overkill. on note 7 there was an app with no root required that net you disable them. and i know of the pm hide <package> shell command. wonder which is better. What ways have you guys done it and what apps have you disabled?
[LG V20 Real Life Review] chrisrj28:
On my phone I'm noticing intermittent stuttering and lag. I use klwp and I've noticed that most themes with animations stutter when I was able to run them just fine on my note 5.

Anyone else notice this?
[LG V20 Real Life Review] @rbiter:
Nope. Smooth. Rarely drop frames.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] chrisrj28:
Perhaps I have a bad unit
[LG V20 Real Life Review] @rbiter:
Try clearing cache first. If no improvement try factory reset. If still laggy exchange. This phone is as smooth as iphone if not better. iOS 9 was janky sometimes but iOS 10 is a lot more consistent. I would consider them pretty even overall.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] chrisrj28:
Thanks, I just ordered a new replacement.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] venuugopal:
It does stutter and lag a lot when charging.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] Techweed:
General performance of this phone is blazing fast, wow. I came from an s7 edge and I always thought people exaggerated the "lag" of touchwiz and thought it was fine. But I hadn't played with another top end android device for years to know any better. This phone is noticeably faster than my s7 edge.

Unscientific speed comparisons online show it neck and neck with the Pixel and iphone 7, and those are pretty much the fastest phones out right now.

LG needs to learn some marketing strategies from Samsung. There is no reason this phone shouldn't be selling as much as anything Samsung has put out.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] ebmorgan:
My personal use observation: the LG V20 is noticeably slower than my Note 5. This is disappointing. Launching anything takes more time.

UPDATE: I have a T-Mobile LG V20 on the RTM build. My Note 5 is T-Mobile on the latest stock OTA update. No rooting...no cooked ROMs. All stock.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] rrmzr1:
Lol no way. Comparing my v20 to my sisters note 5. V20 is definitely faster
[LG V20 Real Life Review] Hagbard57:
Yeah, Lookout started scanning apps and really slowing down my phone. It is now disabled and I am back to buttery smoothness

Thanks for the reminder. In all the excitement of getting this phone I forgot all about this.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] pieces of cake:
I have a Note 5 an S7 Edge and I had a Note 7. The V20 is faster than all of them, no question.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] Ryano89:
Wow. Bummer. I came from a Note5 as well, and then the V20 is significantly faster and smoother for me.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] BillyxAllen:
Are you using a quick charge 3.0 block and a good usb c cable. I have never had the device get hot. Even when driving with gps on, streaming music and charging it doesnt get hot. QC isnt any faster of a charger, but it waaay more efficient, and reduces heat from charging.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] jamice4u:
Play video games wait charging got my phone hot.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] SaltGuy:
This really did make a fast phone faster IMHO.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] Zacharee1:
I honestly can't believe how fast this phone is. There's a stutter here and there, but it always stays cool.

My ultimate test of phone performance is to enter the Applications menu in settings. There's something about that list that's made every single Android phone I've used lag way out. Amazingly for me, my V20 had almost no trouble scrolling. The framerate definitely dropped, but it didn't turn into a slideshow, like I'd expect.

In Geekbench 4, this phone scores lower than a lot of others, but I honeslty don't see the disparity. I also decided to try out the GPU test (where it uses the GPU to perform tasks the CPU would normally), and it scored miles ahead of even the S7.

I am annoyed about how inconsistent the production of the V20 is though. Where the glass around the screen meets the top bezels on my phone, there's a pretty big bump/diference in height there. On another V20, there's almost none. I'm getting a replacement because of weird service, over-the-top noise reduction, and weird battery issues, so we'll see where that goes. Even with this QA weirdness, I still love my V20 (almost as much as my Note 4 when it was new).
[LG V20 Real Life Review] saltdiscus:
Thanks man as soon as I disable that app its zooming now.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] SaltGuy:
Thanks for the Lookout app callout! Forgot about that. Clicked it when I got the V20 and thought it was junk but forgot to disable that one.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] kparikh82276:
If root on lg v20 pretty straightforward?

Been with carrier branded note 4 and I've lost the drive to root.

Amazing how unlocked phones are way better then carrier branded phones.

My mobile hot spot works on my v20, where as it was locked on my att note 4.

I'm enjoying the phone day by day. The more I use it the better I feel with it
[LG V20 Real Life Review] up8000:
This phone has been rock solid for me. I had a weird thing happen a coulpe of days ago. Without changing anything, no new apps, etc, the phone became basically unresponsive. You could see where I touched the screen by a light blue mark, but would not respond and lagged. Could not power off either, I had to pull battery. The phone was extremely hot, 118F via CPU temp app, at the time I was not using the phone, just the hotspot and my tablet. After replacing the battery, it did the same thing, wouldn't respond, pulled battery again, left out for about 5 minutes. No problems since. I do not know what that was, but this phone is lighting fast and cool all the time, hope that doesn't happen again. BTW, uptime was probably around 1200 hours when it happened.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] inversvs:
The V20 is usually very responsive. When I first wake it up, or throw a heavy workload at it quickly it will hiccup for a moment.

I'm a heavy user. Between constant app switching, music listening, and some social media it is smooth once everything is loaded
[LG V20 Real Life Review] JarkMackson:
Honestly, this phone is terrible. It is ALWAYS lagging. I have the phone app set for dialer as the default screen and it almost never comes up correctly, google app is constantly slow to do anything, nothing ever scrolls smoothly, multi-tasking is nearly impossible. I have reset it twice with no luck. I really wanted to like this phone but it is such junk.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] Zacharee1:
I've had the opposite of your experience on my T-Mobile variant. Even rooted, installed F.lux, dual-booted LineageOS and flashed custom Stock. Still fast as ever.

I did have a weird issue where media.extractor was using crazy amounts of CPU power, but using TWRP to clear cache fixed that. What type of reset did you do? If it was only a data reset, I'd recommend a factory reset using the button combo.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] JarkMackson:
I did a factory reset, I haven't rooted mainly because there aren't too many roms out there for the Verizon variant. I'm not really doing a lot of heavy usage on the phone and it's just really horrible.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] Zacharee1:
I'm gonna blame Verizon here. That or you have a faulty unit. I just switched to T-Mobile with this phone from Verizon, and I always had trouble with their bloat and slow updates. You could try an exchange for the phone.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] axaman943:
Achived this morning a pretty impressive Antutu Benchmark...
[LG V20 Real Life Review] OCedHrt:
Mine's decently fast until play store starts updating apps, then it's unusable. My Pixel can update apps with zero lag on anything else.

Score is only 65875 :(

99329 in airplane mode
[LG V20 Real Life Review] Zacharee1:
That's not right at all. Which variant?
[LG V20 Real Life Review] OCedHrt:
T-Mobile, stock.

Ejected my empty sd card and re-running in airplane mode.

103936 in airplane mode w/o sd card.. Hmm, that's still very far from 140k though.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] Zacharee1:
Try a data wipe and rerun without the card.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] OCedHrt:
Turned off airplane mode and score dropped back down to about 77k. I really don't want to wipe as way too many apps don't backup without root.

I think I'd be happy if I can maintain 100k score with data enabled. Installed a data monitor to see what is using data.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] Zacharee1:
You could try using ADB shell to run top. Maybe you'll find something using a lot of CPU. LG Backup does a pretty good job at backing things up though.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] KUSOsan:
I had this too and my device started lagging more frequently and it turned out to be a few apps on mine that were running in background. It's back to full speed now although it still has slight hiccups when installing apps from play store every now and then depending on how intensive the activity is. Overall though this phone flies and I don't regret it one bit. Stock Google (Pixel) is always going to be faster but the difference is negligible in my experience
[LG V20 Real Life Review] @rbiter:
I disagree with the pixel. Well at least the Verizon pixel. Not XL. The v20 is more fluid overall than the Verizon stock pixel. Too many frame drops and chrome was janky. Noticeably.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] KUSOsan:
Well if anyone can screw up stock Android it would be Verizon lol. Stock Android is fast but I'm not a fan of the barebones experience. I've always enjoyed the add-ons that TouchWiz provided except for the annoying lag that came with it. This is my 1st LG phone and they have a pretty good blend of stock with some helpful modifications.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] DocAfi:
Hi, I bought a LG V20 just a week back.

Somebody on the HTC part of this site convinced me to buy it over HTC10.

I don't like it.

Using this very site on it is botchy and stuttery. And FB and such apps as well.

I haven't optimized it in any way and I don't think I should need to in a flagship phone.

My OnePlus 3T runs every thing(btw I'm writing this after reopening this site on OP 3T) like a boss. One thumb swipe on OP3t and it moves smoothly AF.

My Q is that should I replace my LGV20 with a S7. I don't want another OnePlus 3T. Pixel is too expensive.

Would I have the same problems in S7.

I would be buying the exynos version (India).

Thanks.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] OCedHrt:
S8 is pretty smooth ;)
[LG V20 Real Life Review] sobriquet506:
Took a look at Antutu, feel like the V20 is doing pretty darn good for a $300 phone

(After a little performance enhancement from the kind devs here at xda: h918 running NATF MegaRom 5 + Werewolf Kernel 2.0 (basilisk) + anti-throttling mod to improve performance/charging speed )

:)
[LG V20 Real Life Review] @rbiter:
Not the store demo I played with today. But it was a store demo.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] jcsx:
I got about 145,000. I don't remember the exact number thou. I put the v20 in front of my A/C and used Antutu to see if i could get a different result. Under normal situations I got from 110K to 137K (depending on how hot the phone is). I am using the Verizon variant (Stock / rooted / restock kernel / cpu governor: interactive).

Edit: mine never goes over 52 celsius (cpu); battery is around 33 to 36 celsius when playing and the gpu is always on the 40s celsius. I think the thermal throttling is a real thing but i like it. My phone is not near as hot as the v10/G4 used to be.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] dgattenb:
No lag at all
[LG V20 Real Life Review] Moon75:
I think LG ui make the phone slow a bit. I have LeEco phone it's faster for everyday use, open apps. If you put stock Android on v20 it would be good,better than LG ui I would think. But overall experience is fine great screen, exceptional audio, good battery life.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] sobriquet506:

Poor performance
[LG V20 Real Life Review] Jesus is God Almighty:
I have this cable with old usb and the a USB-C converter. Now the cable works fine with QC3 it seems, seemingly having the same speed as the original cable. But when I use other charges without QC3 the cable only gives around 1A which should be more like 2A.... Is this a problem with all of the converters? Something to be aware of if just buying a converter to usb-c and using the old cables.

If you on the go 1 Amp compared to 2 Amps makes a big difference... Anyway solved with just having the LG quick charger with you it seems even using older cables. But I can only do so much in regards of testing.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] fanasty:
Not so favourable after a while of using. Especially when you switch frequently and quickly among apps for multi tasks, it can be a bit frustrating.

I guess nowadays the app developer are intentionally creating more and more sophisticated apps to burden our phones, and without substantial value. I just can not understand facebook even occupies several hundreds megabites of my storage space, which I barely open. This is exploiting and ungrateful.

Currently working with a Dev to make it.

Which model phone do you have we need beta testers for phones other than h990ds and h910
[LG V20 Real Life Review] SmawtPho20:
Running H910 stock with android 8 and software version H91020l.

I've been a bit dissapointed in this phone so far. It usually starts out ok when everything is cool, but when it starts to heat up and the power drops, I notice the processor speeds drop down to 1GHz. I also get laggy performance when the power is full when I play lesser emulators for consoles like N64 and PSP and this is at the lowest quality settings.

Out of curiosity i snagged another V20 running android 7 on software version H91010t and did a comparison in geekbench5.

On the Android 7 phone with no SIM, 57% battery and wifi connected, I got: 329 single core

849 multi core

On the Android 8 phone under similar conditions I got:

313 single core

432 multi core

Normally I've gotten scores around 150-250 for single core on the android 8 phone so I don't know what changed there. I also notice on the android 7 phone it's laggy with gaming too.

What pains me is I got a galaxy S4 and a Snapdragob 400 level phone with a better user experience than this.

[LG V20 Real Life Review] rusty.gh:
Why 2 out of 10, you comment that another phone had more apps with less memory, however that by no means tells anything about how the system is managing memory.

What are you seeing in the v20 that makes you think it's only rating a 2? Curious for details.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] reaktor TuT:
I would give the phone overall a rating of 8 out of 10.

But I would give the Multitasking / Memory Management a 2 or 3. As an example, I woke this morning and checked my recent apps list, only 4 apps were there. All other apps were closed off overnight for some reason. I'm not sure if this is an LG thing or because of Nougat. But I would have hoped that 4GB could hold more apps in RAM. Hopefully, if the 990ds gets root, then I can remove some bloat and tweak the memory management somewhat.

As I said, I would give the phone overall a rating of 8 out of 10 :cool:

Must say, it's waaaay better than the (3) Note 7's that just got sent back to T-Mobile... I say (3) because that's the number of phones I had through this whole fiasco that just ended. So I def had a chance to see the differences , if any.
[LG V20 Real Life Review] Skripka:
Scrolling isn't choppy at all. 200 custom icons in Nova or a complex webpage like say the New York Times. Even with the animation speeds in Developer Options set to 0.5x it is still smooth and flies.

If I were to be very VERY critical....v20 like most Android mobiles (and most AMOLED/IPS screens be they mobile or desktop) has some motion ghosting to it. I'm being nit-picky there though.

Warm, similar to S7 Edge

I know Samsung is getting heat right now, but the LG did get warm when doing the initial download and setup. Not hot, just warm. During charging using AIDA64 I saw temperatures around 50c at times, and the battery temperature was up to 36c. This is similar to the temps on my S7 edge. I was not doing a fast charge, just using a regular wall charger with the included cable.
