Just want to chip in and say my G6 arrived today from eglobal central, h870ds. Like you it wont see 5g wifi networks which is a bit odd. Has anyone found a solution?

Going to install lg bridge later to see if theres a newer softwarw update than is available via OTA.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jean335:
Just a quick question...Is this DS model running 100% stock official firmware? Did anyone get any OTA updates?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sionyboy:
Yes, stock firmware for the Taiwan model (well ,mine is anyway). I was able to install 1 OTA update, but had to use LG Bridge software on my PC to download the very latest software update.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] albsat:
A bit of shame that there is unlock boot option for this model.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sionyboy:
Just an update. I did a factory reset last night and the phone is now picking up 5g wifi. Not sure what happened there.

Thank you for your answer.

Also wanted to ask if you received it in a sealed box?

Chinese third-party sellers are notorious for selling refurbished stuff.It's a whole industry in China, sometimes they even buy new boxes and "do a very good job".

I'm asking because the site you mentioned is selling it at a suspiciously low price.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sionyboy:
Box wasn't sealed, but everything inside was. Stickers still on the phone (all in Taiwanese). Wires still bundled and wrapped. Info booklet still plastic sealed etc...
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] pomponazzo:
In Asia LG don't seal their boxes. Sellers sometimes do.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fleet75:
Does having a different country's firmware on your phone affect the phone in any way?

I'm Considering buying the h870ds from one of the online retail sites since they're half the normal price of the UK model
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jean335:
About that, can you search on YouTube "original refurbished new iphone 6 plus 64GB black color 330usd"(as a new member can't post the link myself) or "chinese refurbished phones"(usually made by inexperienced Alibaba sellers explaining the process to their customers).

I checked the price in Hong Kong and it's around 430$-450$.Realistically how are this 'international stores' selling it at a similar (or just slightly higher) price and still manage to stay in business?Bulk buying still doesn't explain it (personal opinion).

Nobody else is finding the price interesting? Nothing wrong with refurbished but are they?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] boulder_boy:
Thanks for the post H!

I'm in the UK too and have been pondering the purchase of the LG G6! Now i'm holding out for the G6 Plus :P

What website did you use to purchase? Was it eGlobal? i've seen it for around £330-£400 ish

I'm going to be moving from an ageing Nexus 5 so a stock experience is quite important. any further views/ screenshots on the OS would be great!

Considering buying this phone in the next two weeks, wondering if dual sim is dual 4g , or at list 4g/3g ? Thaks
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] tra33372:
For 870DS, 4g for first sim and 3g for second sim which is dual-stand by type.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] virgilflr:
thank you kindly
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stenlius:
How is the battery life with dual SIM inserted? I've just ordered from ebay uk H870DS and I hope that the battery will last the whole day using two SIM cards. What is the latest firmware for this model - is it V10d?

Currently using Oneplus 3 and the battery easily makes 2 days with 3 to 4 hrs SoT and dual SIM on 4G network with data active.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Natakranta:
I ordered H870DS yesterday from eglobalcentral.eu 358 EUR delivered.

Waiting game has started :)

Let's see how long 4 years Nexus user stands without a root not even mentioning custom ROMs.

I think there are little to none hopes for LG allowing H870DS bootloader unlock. Pity.

I'll share my thoughts when it arrives.

Are you using cases? Screen protectors?

I ordered Spigen thin mat black case (my go to cade for every phone I have/had) and Spigen tempered glass screen protector.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] EMJI79:
You'll have the same or better.

I am on 10c and I just checked no OTA.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Stenlius:
Great, I sure hope so, thanks! You could try LG Bridge software to check for updates, not all are distributed as OTA AFAIK.

There is new update from yesterday for the H870 model - V10l, there is no change log other than the usual "system&performance optimization".
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] benj!:
My new H870DS arrived yesterday. Paid £323 from eglobal, and arrived in a week (as specified).

So far I'm absolutely blown away by what a bargain this is; £126 less than the Oneplus 5!

A few initial thoughts:

- Screen is awesome

- In spite of the size, it's not awkward to use at all

- Camera has been incredible so far

- There is absolutely no bloatware, as far as I can tell. A few LG apps but haven't been prompted to do anything with them.

- Quad DAC is indeed present, although have to admit it doesn't sound as good as my HTC 10

- No issues getting LTE (on 3UK)

- Had none of the problems others experienced with 5ghz wifi networks (yet)

- Root would be nice, but frankly LG's skin is pretty lightweight and I haven't found any annoying apps I want to remove as yet (which is basically all I used it for in the past) so will certainly get over it

Very happy customer so far!
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] EMJI79:
Have you tried good headphones to get the most out of the quad dac?

I would love root just to get rid of ads.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] pomponazzo:
Google "Block this", no need to root anymore to get rid of ads. Better solution, but you'll have to pay for a licence, Adguard ;)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] EMJI79:
Block this doesn't seem very secure. I am trying Ad Guard. Seems to slow down the phone a bit?

Anyway thanks for the tip. [emoji6]
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] pomponazzo:
You're welcome. They both work the same way, Adguard just has many more features. I've been using them for quite a while now, never had issues. But Block This is much lighter, it runs almost unnoticed.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I am using HTC hi res earphone with LG V20. I notice there is a significant difference in sound quality as compare to HTC 10. Don't get me wrong I have use HTC hi res earphone with HTC 10 for nearly 9 months. LG V20 quad DAC is incredible. I listen same song for comparison. G6 has Quad DAC as well. I will report as soon as I get G6 in hand.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Razertje:
LG should really release more updates for the H870DS variant. The European model has June security patches, we are still on 10C with April security patches. Hoped they would provide monthly updates as Samsung is doing for the S8. Otherwise really great phone.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] firecrackerjim:
Got this phone to to see if it was better for me then my one plus 3t, I have to say overall I like it Big Time, gonna sell my 3T

iam also experiencing the 5Ghz issue with my BT Smart Hub.

I have to say I would swap the Dac for the Americans Qi Charging tho.

£335 with insured delivery for the platinum, total bargain
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] S1611:
I bought it couple of days ago and was shocked to see March Sec. Update with absolutely no further update whatsoever. I don't understand the logic behind it. Why skip sec. updates? Few days ago my J7 prime got July security update. I know it not absolutely necessary to have latest sec updates. But it feels nice that companies are actually taking our security with importance. I'm coming from iPhone which had all the updates roll out at approximately the same time all over the time. I don't know how will the G6 age with time.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] hereld318:
What region do you have? SEA? TWN?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] S1611:
India

V10c-IND-XX
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sudman:
I have v10c-TWN region and yes also very disappointed that there's no updates compared to European version. However 64Gb & Quad DAC go someway to make up for this, as does the incredibly cheap price. But seriously LG are up to there old tricks of shafting the user when it comes to support it would seem.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] wakari_mayo:
I have the Indian one (V10c-IND-XX) and solved the 5GHz problem by doing a factory reset.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sionyboy:
I'm surprised at the lack of updates on the Asian models. Do LG have separate teams working on firmwares? Seems a bizarre way of doing things. Lot of discrepancy between the various markets.

I've had my G6 for one month now, and I'm enjoying it. Camera is good, not great. It's a shame that they couldn't have invested in a better sensor, especially for the primary lens (similar to the setup on the G5/V20). Can't help but feel that the phone is big enough to house a larger battery as well (playing it safe after the Note 7 debacle perhaps?).

Maybe the V30 will fix some of these issues, perhaps that'll plummet in price as well and by Xmas it'll be on EGlobal for £350ish.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
It is due to the fact that they go all out on V series phone with no compromises whatsoever. G series are mostly for experiment purpose.

Wi-Fi and updates

Jim can you tell me if you got the Wifi sorted, and if you're able to get OTA updates? I'm getting the G6+ and these are my 2 main concerns before ordering. Cheers

H870DS arrived today from bravobuy.co.it

3 factory reset so far (once from settings and twice from boot (power+vol-down))

Now I have to go back to work, but I guess tomorrow I'll have to open a RMA

Had the same issue with my new 870ds with 5g wifi once I put in a sim card they appeared straight away.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darksession:
HD870DS - Hongkong/Australia/Russia Version

1. 5 GHz / 2.4 GHz works flawless. I get full 200 MBit Downstream in the range of 5-7m.

2. If you want better LOW light capability, then use Manual mode, this is important and the only way to get good shots, but this is not restricted to the G6. Every Smartphone has horrible Low Light performance and is unsuited for low light shots.

3. Wireless charging is complete Bull**** because the power loss is unbelievable high. It takes so long to charge and loses half of its power. There is absolutely no reason to use this. If you are too lazy to plug in the Connector, then use a USB-C Dock. Don't see the Wireless charging as a feature that was intended for the G6, it's just a small compensation for the foreign markets so they won't be that dissapointed and still have a feature which the other models don't have. The Dual Sim and Quad dac is the problem on the Domestic version, the backsite of the phone is built different then the WEST versions, so its not easy to implement.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ice.man:
thanks man

you're right

it was something I had experienced before, but I had it completely forgotten

Het, I also bought the G6 from eglobalcentral. Using it in the UK. I believe my model is also a Taiwanese model: V10c-TWN-XX.

Would you or anyone else for that matter, happen to know if its possible to flash the open European software onto it?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] pomponazzo:
The european firmware doesn't include the dual SIM capabilities. You'll brick your phone.

Low light Snaps

Well i do agree with your Low light snap comment. But one can achieve pretty impressive results using manual mode at night. I'm a beginner with manual mode but i still got very amazing shots :) So i think u should put AUTO MODE right beside your LOW LIGHT SNAP comment ;)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pyplinr:
I have tried and tried to get my Cingular 8525 to work on the GPRS network here in Russia. I have tried both the MTS and Beeline providers, with the same result. Nothing

My phone is unlocked, of course..

And yes I have tried running the "disablecingularproxy" cab. It seems to make no difference either way. And tried changing the PAP/CHAP gprs authentification settings.

My question, is there something within the Cingular/AT&T rom flash that would prevent my phone from connecting on MTS or Beeline?

i.e. - discrete GPRS settings in the phone registry that can't "normally" be tweaked?

I have literally tried dozens of different approaches to set up the GPRS settings. Per service provider, per smartphone gurus, etc..

[Android Themes] ChazzMatt:
You at least need a custom recovery and root. This "O" emoji pack is a flashable zip file that has to be flashed in custom recovery, like TWRP.

Some phones like LG G2 and LG G3 can be rooted and custom recovery installed without unlocking the bootloader -- but phones like Motorola require the bootloader to be unlocked to install a custom recovery and root. I do not know about Asus phones.

Thank you [MENTION=5129798]Shooting Star Max[/MENTION] for providing these. Wonder if there's been any changes since mid-May, with the newer beta releases of "O"? I haven't kept up. Also wonder if the final version (after "O"is formally named... Oreo, Orange Sherbet, Oatmeal Cookie?) will be any different.
[Android Themes] Shooting Star Max:
I am interested in that, too. However, Emojipedia didn't make any article regarding changes, nor other Android blogs. I would download the Android O newest beta, but it's too big. So... I suppose they haven't changed anything in this release.

[General Questions and Answers] MSD615:
I have just recently rooted my old Kindle Fire HD 2012 7" model and after making a backup before getting android on it, I wiped it due to slow performance and only 21mb of data remaining.

When I was greeted with the setup screen I got to the " Choose a wifi network " screen and was confused to find that it said that there were no nearby wifi networks to connect to. I knew

something was up with the device because on all my other devices, the wifi was working just fine. I skipped the setup and tried getting wifi but saw that tapping the wifi on button was greyed out

for an unknown reason. Also, I did this all on the kindle without a computer. I'm very new to rooting kindles and android devices and to these forums so could someone please help me resolve this issue?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Boot to TWRP and choose the advanced wipes, then select cache partition and Dalvik/ART cache, do not select any other partitions listed. Then swipe the slider at the bottom, let it finish wiping then reboot the device.

***NOTE***Do not factory reset, that's not what you want. It would work also but it will wipe your user data and settings, you only want to wipe the cache partitions. Wiping just Dalvik/ART cache would probably fix it but for safe measure, wipe the regular cache also. You will not lose any data doing this, it only clears cache so that when you reboot it loads all your apps from a fresh start with no cached data from things that aren't there anymore.
[General Questions and Answers] MSD615:
I followed your instructions but the wifi is still greyed out. I should also mention that I may have messed something up before making this thread, I made the mistake of doing the equivalent of picking at a wound by clearing everything ( the dalvik cache, data, internal storage, cache, and system ) however I did restore the system from a backup but I couldn't restore the data because the backup failed previously.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If you messed something up before this then you need to take your question/issue to the Kindle Fire HD forum here. The Kindle forum here covers different models of kindle so make sure you're getting the right information for your specific version of kindle.

It's just greyed while charging... is it supposed to be like this? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] lamaar639:
When you plug the phone in to charge it will always grey out the option so you can't turn it on or off.

The only way to change the option is to unplug the phone and then set to whether you want to it charge fast or slowly.

Personally I always have fast charge off because it seems to me like the phone battery lasts longer.

After many failed attempts I finally managed to get RemixOS running on my laptop as the only OS without needing to have the USB stick always plugged in, now I wanted to make the whole UI a bit smaller, I knew that changing the DPI would do the trick and found that I can do it by adding "DPI=120" to the boot command but I doesn't save, I have to do it again everytime I turn on the laptop, Id like to know how to edit the command and save it, maybe I can do it from inside remix OS if I can find the file but as far as I know the file is in a hidden partition and I don't know how to access it
[Remix OS for PC] saulin78:
If You are rnning Remix OS in writetable mode You can change the DPI density with the wm command and it sticks after a reboot. You can open a terminal command with CTRL+F1 I believe

type su and then hit enter

Then the command

wm density 120

then type

reboot
