Ignorant? Please, I just read all of your "one line posts". So when have you ever done anything helpful for this community? I doubt you even donate. I see why you took offense though as most of your posts closely resemble the first one you shmuck.:p

Anytime LALALAND Boy. Been using HTC since 8125 so who cares how much I post. The less I post means the more I understand and do not have to ask questions. As far as donations go? Hehehe 1 of mine is probably more than all of yours so I am not going to reply anymore because it is just going to get out of hand. Just go back to when you were a noob and how many question you might have had. Then leave people helpful hints and don't cut them down.

Can I just take the fi sim from nexus 6 and use it in a 6p, without any issues?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmatt503:
If you just want to switch phones,yes. Your rom and kernel will still be on the nexus 6. I'm not 100% sure how fi works... But you may have to set the correct APNs or it could just be a pop in the sim and be up and running

No. The sim card for the 6p is different!!

No, I found out today that the Nexus 6 sim is NOT compatible with a Nexus 6p. Fi is overnighting me a new SIM.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Cst79:
Hello,

Does anybody know if the LG G6 has a notification LED ? I do know that it has an always-on display, but I still find a notification LED much more useful (different colors can easily be spotted from a distance) and also much easier on battery life, to the point that on my S7 Edge I have the AOD turned off and rely on the notification LED exclusively (I use LightFlow for customization).

From the official pictures I can't see any marking/cutout on top for the notification LED, but hopefully it's just not very visible ?

Thanks !
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] kevinlevrone:
It seems that the (preliminary) answer is "no", the LG G6 does not have a notification light (same as LG V20)...which is a deal breaker for me. Finally they got the phone size and design right for the first time after the G2, they got the battery size right, but they left off one of the most important features for a business user. I guess LG wasn't LG if they wouldn't screw up somehow...
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] onlinejobwork:
Can I ask is that any reason or proof why you are that sure ?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] JMillion:
it doesnt. *have one right in front of me*
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] szqnl:
Well that's annoying. I was liking the G6 at first but now I find out there's no notification led which is way better than always-on display, no IR blaster that I use occasionally but has been very convenient when needed, silly regional differences, horrid glass back, and still no word on price
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] kevinlevrone:
That's heartbreaking, really. Have you looked in the settings menu and the notification LED option is missing ? Some phone have the light hidden in the spearker grille, it may just not be visible physically.

Well...I guess there's always Galaxy S8, just saw a full-size press image leak and on the S8 the notification LED is still there.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] RCJ89:
I know it is off topic but could you tell what the sound quality is like.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] JMillion:
yeah i went in the settings. nothing there. also the way the speaker grille is you wouldnt be able to see any type of light.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] anl2304:
Well, that's a shame. I was looking forward to the G6. But that is two strikes against it. Strike one was the lack of a 64 GB model in the states. No notification LED is strike two. I have had a great run with LG starting with the G2 until I passed on the G5. I am just surprised they omitted the LED. I guess they figured with the always on display it was not needed.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] SOCOM-HERO:
Realy? No LED? That is crazy. This has been a feature since forever on android. I really hope the US model has one. I live by it for email.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] WAIDroid:
Wow really? Screw the G6 then. Even the G4 has LEDs
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ChazzMatt:
No stereo speakers, no IR blaster.

Does have Qi WIRELESS CHARGING, but no 64GB in U.S. nor DAC.

WHAT is wrong with LG?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] SOCOM-HERO:
They got rid of the IR blaster too? What the hell is wrong with LG?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] kevinlevrone:
LG wouldn't be LG if they wouldn't do something wrong :) With the S8 having so many features (starting with a better processor), the G6 really needed those gimmicks like the IR blaster and notification LED.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ChazzMatt:
And stereo speakers would be great too. I was hoping LG would release a blatant copy of the ZTE AXON 7 -- with Qi wireless charging.

Go google those specs... 1440p AMOLED, 64/128 GB internal storage, DAC, front stereo speakers, etc. Frame designed by BMW!

LG version would be fantastic.

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/ZTE-Axon-7_id10068/fullspecs
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] szqnl:
Irritating isn't it.

I really liked the look of the G6. The flat front, the chunky/blocky design with slight curves on the back. From the leaks of the S8 I think I prefer the G6 style, more professional looking. Something about the curved display I don't like.

I'm out, even if it's relatively cheap (which it won't be). I use the IR blaster regularly when travelling and the NLED is a must.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] hidea:
As others have already answered, unfortunately the LG G6 does not have Notification LED iIndicator. It relies on the Always-On Display feature to let you know of any new notifications.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Rado_vr6:
My goodness, the outrage of not having a tiny little light.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] alexp999:
This article implies there is a setting to use the flash:

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/140...-get-to-grips-with-the-long-screened-flagship

Can anyone who has on try, I don't know if it will keep flashing for notifications, like the notification LED does?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Rado_vr6:
It flashes for a few seconds after you receive something.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] alexp999:
Ah, thanks.

Thought it might keep flashing occasionally like the notification LED.

Worth a shot.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] nr2134:
To some of us its a huge deal. I constantly walk away from my desk with the work headset and just walking by I know if my wife called, etc. So please, unless you have something to add, just stay out of the thread.

Just to add to my post. I have had this for 2 days and its a great device. Absolutely love it, but because of the missing LED, its going back today. If this is not a deal breaker to you, pick it up, you wont regret it.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] alexp999:
I take it always on display isn't an option?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] nr2134:
I tried, but its just like my GS7 Edge, most of the time I dont know what is on the screen from 5 feet away with all the other notifications I get. The RGB Led was perfect as it used different colors for different actions. Not sure why LG would do that, the cost is minimal and I was really looking forward to this phone as I dont want GS8 with Bixby and the other stuff Samsung tries to shove your way. Maybe Pixel XL 2 will be my next phone.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] FAUguy:
I too reply on the Notification Light, and every phone I've owned has had one, including my current G5. The Always On Display I have turned off, as you can't really tell what th alerts are from more than 5-6 feet away, but if I see a specific color led flashing, I know if it was a call, email, txt...

I'm wondering if maybe with th G6 having a minimal bezel, maybe they couldn't find a way to fit it in the circuitry at the top? Or just decided to get rid of it because if the Always On Display.

Either way, not a good choice.

So I may also be leaning to the S8 or Note 8, even though I'm not a fan of the curved screens.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] techrider6262:
I will never understand buying a phone based on a little light.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] MicroMod777:
At night I'd hated the dam led lights from past phones. Finally I can rest a full night without the led blinking and doing a light show in the dark.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] AmesCell:
Light Manager you pick your sleep hours and it's off. Also pick per app color and blink rate.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] michi491:
None of the web/youtube reviewers are talking about the lack of notification led....how strange is it ? crazy imo...
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] gemballa.bg:
Don't want to start a new thread, so I will ask here, apologies

Can I use the fingerprint sensor/button to lock/unlock the phone and to finish conversation like in G2,G3 and G4? Thanks
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] verks:
I'm a huge fan for the notification light. I will miss it on the G6. I always use Light Manager and have a different color for every important app I have. Nothing beats knowing from across the room that my wife or buddy texted by the color and pace of the blink. Now I can live without it but would prefer it. Early rumors had Samsung doing something special with notification. We will see soon.

LG in my opinion had the best notification light of all time on their Optimus G Pro. It was around the home button and it softly pulsed with great color control.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] techrider6262:
Because nobody cares:)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] alexp999:
After having it on my last few phones I thought I would miss it, but recently I've actually found myself not trusting the notification LED and waking the phone anyway to check, lol.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ChazzMatt:
They'll put it back in next year's LG G7 -- along with the front facing stereo speakers and AMOLED display that's missing. ;)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] alexp999:
Front facing stereo speakers will make it too tall.

I wouldn't ever buy a phone with AMOLED either. We need someone to keep LCD going until something better comes along...
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ChazzMatt:
I've had 1440p AMOLED since 2014 and that phone is still looking very good. Deep blacks, great color, etc.

I know LG does the best of the LCD, but they're going to AMOLED nxt next year. Get used to it. They wanted to go this year for the LG G6 but LG corporation guaranteed almost their entire current AMOLED display manufacturing output to Apple for their 2017 iPhone X.

LG won't have enough extra AMOLED manufacturing capacity until mid-2017. SO, same reason LG went with Snapdragon 821 (instead of 835) is the same reason they went with LCD this year -- to launch flagship LG G6 in Q1 2017.

The 2017 LG V30 may have AMOLED, but the 2018 LG G7 definitely will.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Juice3250:
I turned on always on and it shows the clock and the battery and any apps that have notifications.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] AmesCell:
It's not even comparable. I can see the led from across the room. I can see the led at a glance and color tells you what notification you have.

And most importantly the G6 AOD is so dim it's unusable in many many settings and from any distance. The worst part is the Galaxy phones OLED means their AOD is more usable. But they have the notification LED.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] wingzfan:
You can turn the brightness of AOD up. Im actually enjoying not having the led. The AOD is less obnoxious as a light constantly blinking.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] AmesCell:
I did. It's like dim and dimmer. Coming from an S7 AOD it's really not good unless the lighting is good.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] wingzfan:
See Im the opposite, I like it better than the S7's lol. It shows everything in my status bar where as S7 didnt.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] AmesCell:
S7 does. Once the Note went bye bye they gave the S7 the Notes AOD features. Functionally they are the same. Except you can see the S7 in low light.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] wingzfan:
I just sold my T-Mobile with nougat and alot of 3rd party apps would never show on it. Maybe I had something off in the settings.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Borocay:
The LG G5 actually got the notifications right. It has the always on display and notification light. I use both on mine all the time. I sold my S7 because the always on display did not work correctly with email or message apps other than Samsungs. I was getting ready to upgrade to an LG G6 until I saw that they did away with the notification light. That is a deal breaker for me. I want to be able to look at my phone from across the room and see if I have a message. I will be looking at the S8, One+4 or Moto G5 Plus.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jonnyjb:
I think they left it off since they have the always on display option. I personally did not like the notification light but I do like the always on feature.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] maruichan:
Thrilled but amused at the same time that some people are dumping the phone over a notification LED. It does seem like it should be a standard feature. I think it is common sense to have it as a basic feature considering it's fairly simple to use and you don't have to be worried about viewing angle, etc. Not sure why they left it out, but I'm suspecting that the AOD was supposed to the quintessential replacement. I stopped using my notification LED years ago when I stopped paying attention to everything that was happening on my phone. It felt like it was weakening my attention span... but it was nice in a time when I used to tweet constantly to see that little warm notification night showing up as a mention/notification. :D
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] sheriffa:
I have the G5

Strike 1: No removable Battery

Strike 2: No LED

Strike 3: NO REMOVABLE BATTERY!!!

errr Strike 4: GPS issues with the G5

I second the notion of being able to walk by my phone and understand if I have an email, SMS, etc by the color of the LED and blink rate. That LED costs them pennies to manufacture for each phone.

I often travel for work and for personal reasons and use my phone heavily between navigation, making calls, reviewing emails etc etc etc. I can easily go through 3 batteries in a full day between 8 AM And midnight as I'm often never near a charger. I may get th

The only redeeming feature this phone now has is the wide camera angle. That's IT!!! Otherwise it is as generic as the rest of the field.

What happened to the idea of setting yourself aside from the rest of the field? Now they have to rely purely on marketing to compete with everyone else rather than the product being more useful than everyone else
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Xanion:
If it's so important to see a light on your office wherever your standing then why not buy a notification light to put on your desk. Choice enough.

https://www.wittidesign.com/products/notti for example. If you think its a great phone this not something that should hold you back.

I bought the G6 and I'm very happy with it. I have a Moto360 smartwatch and really don't care for the notification led.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Alanhwy:
The answer is no because I own one myself.. if I know that earlier, should have waited for Galaxy S8.. sad purchased.. no more LG in the future..
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] rfarrah:

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] shilent:
I've had my AT&T G6 for 5 days now, and I too miss the LED notification light. It's simple and can be more effective than the AOD.

This. I can see what notification I have from the corner of my eye. With this AOD, I have to look closely to determine if there's even a notification or not. I would be very happy if we could customize the colors of the AOD notifications.

Just because you don't find the LED notification useful, doesn't make this thread dumb.

LED status notifications are more efficient in not only mobile phones, but in so many other devices and equipment. A good example would be your kitchen stove. We're all used to seeing a red LED light that tells us the stove is on. Imagine if this is replaced with a dim AOD without color that displays "on" or "off".
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] rubiicon59:
I find a notification LED to be very useful; where does it say I don't?

Just because you don't understand my original post doesn't make this thread any less dumb.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] MicroMod777:
I returned my G6 and got the S8+. Now I have a nice LED light finally!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jimc5423:
I have had the G6 for 2 days now and very disappointed that it does not have the notification LED. I thought I had not set the phone up properly and that was why it just sits there looking dead. Previous phones were LG G3 and Galaxy S3 and they both had this feature. A blinking yellow or green LED would tell me if I needed to pick the phone up off the desk and check messages or emails. It is a great convenience knowing that my wife or kids had responded to a text. As much as I like the speed, properly working GPS and voice quality of the G6, I'm seriously considering returning it to get the blinking LED back. If the LED bothers you at night just turn it face down on the night stand.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Plilly:
There's a fingerprint scanner instead of an LED
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] PHYCLOPSH:
The missing notification LED coupled with the fact LG downgraded the camera sensor size from 1/2.6" to 1/3.06" is unacceptable.

Basically, a proper G5 is still in many ways a better device besides battery endurance. I hope LG learns from their poor decisions and gets it right with the G7, bring back the notification LED and stop backpedaling on the camera hardware! Also, the region-specific features need to stop. HI-FI DAC for all please.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yes. Just because I want Qi wireless charging doesn't mean I also don't want DAC and more storage.

It's not either/or.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] thinhletien:
The thing is, even Qi wireless charging is "old version" that doesnt support Wireless Fast Charging (such like s7, s8)

No IR blaster and No Led indicator <<<<<<<<<<<<<< thats **** me up so hard everyday, and i have to use the "AOD" even i dont like it at all, especially on IPS LCD.

I regret to give LG 1 more chance, blaming myself for not look carefully all the information of this phone. :cowboy::cowboy::cowboy:

Maybe i get the S8 later on then :eek::eek::eek: or maybe go back to my G5 tho, but my G5's screen have a blur red dot on screen (holy s-h-i-t LG, whats wrong with you????), hard to see, but still can notice.

With LG from G2-G3-G5-G6, but maybe, nore more, no ****ing more dude :eek::eek::eek::eek:
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] swaintehgamarh:
There is a LED?

I looked at my G6 today and their is a location for the LED. on the front panel theirs two small circles near the speaker grill. call me stupid but isn't that the LED notification section and they are choosing not to use it?. LG G5 had it in the same place. Have LG decided to put this feature in later? or just making us guess what it is haha
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
Those two circles should be the light sensor and the Proximity sensor.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] rubiicon59:
OK you're stupid.

Amazing what you can learn looking through the User Guide.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] bassnet334:
No that would be the light sensor and another sensor used for auto brightness and screen on an off. There is no led notification on the g6
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] marcviado:
I wouldn't say its a notification LED but you can turn on the camera flash on when notifications come through. It'll blink a few times then stop. Like what the iphone does..

Appreciate it! Never really looked into those settings.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] rubiicon59:
Audible LED???
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] skyfox99:
It just makes the camera flash for the notification (it's a initial notification and not ongoing). The setting just happens to be under the hearing impaired section of accessibility options.

Honestly with the always on screen, you can immediatly see notifications, no particular need for a LED
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] dannejanne:
Always on screen has always been and will always be a worthless idea on LCD. I don't want that battery drain just to see notifications. A LED would had been so much better.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Obscure Reference:
It's actually surprisingly light on the battery. I recently tried switching to the brighter AoD mode and haven't noticed s bigger drain so far. Pretty impressed with it really.

I came from the Nexus 6 though so I'm used to not having a LED. I thought I'd miss it when I got my last phone but actually haven't yet.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] dannejanne:
Will try someday perhaps and compare battery life. However without it my phone loses 0-1% battery every night when I sleep. Really impressive.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] rubiicon59:
Has anyone in this thread tried using their mobile phone as a mobile phone?

If so, do you think it's a good mobile phone?

(regardless of it not having a comforting LED notification indicator)

Or do you prefer not to make or answer calls to preserve precious battery life?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] umx:
The fact a LED makes it far easier to know if you have a msg with out having to touch ur phone is very convenient. Having come from a 6P and having it.. its quiet annoying to not. But i am trying to get used to the always on display. as a work around. Until the end of the year where I may switch phones.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Obscure Reference:
I don't miss the LED at all but still, phonecalls? Probably the thing I use my smartphone the least for to be honest. I'm guessing that might be true for a lot of people.

For me it's more of a media/internet/messaging tool really. Basically what tablets used to be before phone sizes got big enough. (Sold my tablet a few years ago since I wasn't using it any more)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] rubiicon59:
Yes. Phone calls. Really.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Obscure Reference:
Everyone uses their phone differently, just saying.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] venerisdeus:
Some people love the notification LED, some hate it and some don't care about it.

The real problem is when you don't have the possibility to choose to use it or not.

If I have it and I don't want it I can just turn it off, but if I don't have it and I want it...

So, definitely a big minus for LG for not letting you choose.

I am still a big LG fan (had Ku990 Viewty, P880 4XHD, LG G2) and hope the upcoming V30 will allow me to switch back from Samsung Note series.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] fallenwout:
There should be a choice where can only activate always-on-display when you actually have a notification
