[LG G6 Questions and Answers] rdlegy:
Hey guys, I am thinking of buying a G6. In my opinion the phone's SOC is up to date compared to todays standarts. Is it a good idea to buy this phone in 2019? If I root it and install the newest version of android custom rom? I had a pocophone f1, but it was too big for me. Loved that phone it was very fast. Now I have a xiaomi a2 lite and it is very slow. That is why I want to buy a G6 and my budget is not big.

No VOLTE option

I'm a real nooby. Just purchased LG G6, in the belief that it was Australian stock. Require VOLTE for work use, and found that the option did not exist. In hidden menu, when selecting IMS, returns message "Not Supported".

SW Version H870DS20m-AME-XX, so looks like a grey import. Retailer no help whatsoever, stating that their product description did not mention VOLTE. Anyway, without VOLTE, phone is virtually useless to me.

Question: Can I flash with new software and get a result?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] darek1995:
If you had a Poco F1, then the G6 will be a disappointment in terms of performance, and battery life, it would be a huge downgrade imo. Only the build quality/feel better with the G6, nothing else.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] rdlegy:
I bought the G6, because it was cheap and in good condition. I have used snapdragon 820 devices and they were very snappy, but this is not the case with the G6. Terrible performance and lag. I tried custom roms same thing. Phone is laggy and slow. I have a mi a2 lite with the weak snapdragon 625 SOC and it is snappier, faster and almost lag free. Can't believe this G6 is so slow

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] xabzzz:
Hi,

I'm not a geek ... but this could be a problem with the sensor used when you approach your smartphone too close .... (like in "close to the ear").

Check if you're taking the phone too close to your mouth / face ... (for instance)

I don't know where the sensors are, but check maybe if the screen is clean ...

Good luck

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Moondroid:
Greetings. Q about Call blocking, in particular, where are call blocking lists stored in Android? I want to be able to export a very long list of blocked numbers into a different phone (presumably at root level) but can't find out how, or where that list is stored. I've searched my phones and I've searched all of XDA and nothing turns up.

My immediate mission is to move my present blocked-calls list from a Moto G5 Plus running RR 5.8.4, to an LG G6 US997 -- both phones unlocked/rooted or expected to be. (I'm posting this question in Q&A for both phones, hoping one or the other can get me a good answer.)

I would prefer not to have to install yet another app on any of my phones, because Call blocking is built-in on every phone I've used in the last 3-4 years.

I'm looking to export>import such a list across Android versions Nougat to Oreo at least. I'm well-versed in rooting etc, and no problems with copying/moving or even editing system files. TIA for any clues on how to get this done!

Hi, i have an h-870 model stuck in a twrp loop.

No matter what I do it will boot up in twrp.

I gave it to my dump brother and he managed to wipe the os off it and now it just boots in twrp, I can't get it to download mode because as soon as I power it of from twrp it just goes into twrp again. Any ideas?

Hi, i got lg g6 h873 , first time i turned it on, service data works, as in calls and sms works but after resetting, it says call services blocked. Even changed sim too. I cant do ping test to turn radio off. The signal is there but cant do sms or call. Its blocked. So how to fix this.

Do we have a way to root LGM-G600LR? I have been combing through the threads but no luck.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] SpeeDyLOCO:
I have a question, the H870 phone has genuine firmware without root. Recently, despite a long time of hesitating to update to 9, I made an update* to V30a-ORG-MCV: / the performance of the phone significantly decreased (antutu) from 162460 to 125317, updating to V30b-ORG-MV made the case even worse 115260, especially in terms of CPU performance. The question is, is it possible to downgrade to 8 without removing settings / data?

*I performed the update from the phone update notifications.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jimbomodder:
Unfortunately not, android 9 was so poorly done on the G6 that it ruined the phone. You will need to wipe data to downgrade back to 8.0
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] SpeeDyLOCO:
One more question, has anyone tried the "LG Bridge" error repair method? I mean, I just did it - once this option helped restore performance, for example in the G2 using LGMobile Support Tool.

Unfortunately, the effect of this operation did not bring the desired effect - the result of the antutu test 124371*, which is even worse :D

And I mean whether it would be possible to force this program to be replaced with the correct ROM, eg 8. The program automatically connects to the server and downloads the latest rom and then "repairs" by first downloading the ROM to AppData \ Local \ LG Electronics \ LG Bridge \ SWUpgrade \ Image. I wonder if it would be possible to do such a repair by forcing the rom from 8.

// After 2 days of use, the phone works a bit faster, but in the test result is still lower compared to version 8 (Oreo)> once it comes out 147829 and once 143825 with a fully charged phone.

I have a LG G6 from Boost Mobile (LS993). I just found out that this phone is incompatible with the T-mobile network that Boost is moving to when T-Mobile shuts down the sprint network at the end of 2021. I don't understand why it won't work on T-mobile but I believe it may be because it lacks VOLTE. Boost will unlock the phone for me but are there any carriers I can use the phone on?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Michael Z Freeman:
Hi, been away for a while. I have an LG G6 G600 (Korea) and seem to remember there was problem with bootloader and rooting device so no ROMS were availalbe. Have there been any changes/developments in this area ? It's still a really nice phone but presumably Android 9 Pie will one day start getting a bit outdated. Any help appreciated :)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] x3r0.13urn:
No chance, unless someone finds an exploit that can unlock the bootloader. Or EDL and switch to another firmware, but it's very risky and great chance only making the phone brick. My friend has it, I've seen the fastboot is totally non existent. Even offline charging doesn't work properly, after few seconds it just went booting the OS.

Wrong data reading for sure
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ASW1:
I'm starting to get really annoyed with the 2 different settings menus that this phone has in the stock software.

If you click the settings icon that lives between your app icons, you open a settings menu that is vertically scrollable.

But if you use the little settings icon from the pull down quick settings you get a horizontal 4 page settings menu that you can go through by left-right swiping.

Confusingly enough the hierarchy and layout of these two menus is entirely different. And to add insult to injury, from the first menu you can press the back button in the first menu to get in the second menu. It makes it bloody confusing to find stuff back in your settings, the only way to prevent this is consequently just using one of those two menus, but it doesn't let you disable or hide the other one.

I can't believe why one would make such a bad decision to use two different UX designs for the same thing simultaneously in the software, and somehow mixing them up in the process too. Anyone else has any thoughts on this?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jimbomodder:
Ah top right of " tabbed" menu you can select "list view" which should sort your issue
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ASW1:
Ha, completely overlooked that.:good:

But in that case I think it's more a like a bug?

Switching to tab view works for the little settings icon in the quick settings pull down, it remembers your choice. But the large app icon doesn't; it keeps giving the list view if clicked, no matter what I changed it to before.

Do you have the same behaviour? If so, anyone know where with LG one could report a bug like this? (Or maybe it's more a shoddy design job)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jimbomodder:
Honestly never noticed as I always use the small icon in status bar
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Erpinoob:
I always use settings icon in statusbar, but I've just tried to reproduce your issue. I opened settings from icon in launcher, I had tab view and it remembered my preference. I switched to list view and it still remembered my choice. So it's all fine here.

Which version of G6 do you have? What firmware are you running?

Hardware issue?

Please advise, I got my g6 in the mail today, everything was fantastic till I tried enabling the hifi Dac option and the headphone went from playing music to suddenly playing weird hissing and other random noises(+no music suddenly), factory reset, but did the same thing. For headphones, I was using the m50xs.

Is there some option I'm totally forgetting or I need a replacement? I'm thinking replacement which sucks because that's another whole process ;(
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ASW1:
I think that somewhere on this forum I saw an app come by that will replace all the default ringtones and notification sounds with android stock sounds.

I can't remember whether this required root or not.

Does anyone know what app I mean?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jimbomodder:
Most will require root as it's in system/media files, alternatively you can replace yourself if you have root.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jimbomodder:
Have you tried another set of headphones?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] dkimmortal:
well i did try the same headphones in multiple other G6s in store and at the service centre, those had no problem enabling hifi dac and playing music while mine would "enable" but no sound would come out..

currently in the very tedious process of getting a new replacement.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jimbomodder:
Sounds like you did get a faulty 1, good luck with the replacement. Wish we had hifi dac on UK models and wireless charging
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ASW1:
I do have root, I just hope someone will remember what app that was that replaced all the LG sounds with android stock sounds.

Somebody mentioned it but I just can't find it back.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Gam3r 4 Life:
Ive tried the buttons and nothing happens, except long press of home is search as designed. I cant be the only one that notices this? The only way to change wallpapers is going through settings, home screen, then wallpaper. At least widgets are still accessible from the app drawer. The only other way is to leave a blank spot on the home screen. If you have the 5x5 all the way full there is no way to get the long press menu to come up.

noob question, guys: can any g600 version be rooted?

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
Nope. Only European H870 and US997 can
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Phoenix100k:
Two likely easy questions:

1) If you use Home mode instead of "Home and App Drawer", is there any way to still get the app drawer icon? Conversely, if you use "Home and App Drawer", can you have more than two home screen panels and assign which one I want to be the home button screen?

2) I see references everywhere about being able to disable the rounded corner boxes around the icons, but when I go to Home Screen style options, Icon Shapes isn't there. Do I have to enable it elsewhere? Has the setting moved?

Just realized I should add that I bought the phone from a T-Mobile store to take advantage of a promotion. I'm starting to think I'll have to unlock the phone and install stock Android. Hoo boy...
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
1) No app drawer on the home launcher, you can create other pages and set which one is the main home.

2) The option is there only if you have the original theme.

3) You cannot unlock the T-Mobile G6, this means no custom rom, no root and no twrp.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Phoenix100k:
Thanks for the replies, Killua, this is all good information. Some follow-up:

1) With "Home and App Drawer" selected, I can't seem to figure out how to make more homescreen pages.

2) That's pretty absurd. I really like the black theme because black text one white backgrounds is difficult for me to read.

3) Hm. Wish I'd known that. Would you recommend keeping it or do you think I'm better off eating the restocking fee and getting something different? I'm coming from a Nexus 4, so I kinda wanted to stick with LG for familiarity.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
1) Sorry, didn't understand that you were referring to the app drawer launcher. It seems there is no option, maybe it's due to the fact that is not updated anymore.

2) Yep...

3) Do whatever you like, if you need root buy an unlocked variant, otherwise keep that one. Next time look in xda or ask so you won't buy another locked device =)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Phoenix100k:
I definitely should have, Killua. I did research on popular tech sites and gsmarena.com, but I was really only comparing specs. Good news is, I don't need root this time around, or rather I'm trying to go without it.

Last question for anyone who wants to offer an opinion. I see a lot of people talking about other launchers so they can customize the UI and home screen. Worth it? Battery hog? Requires root/custom ROM?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Killua96:
Some are battery hog, others don't (nova for example), just try the most famous ones =)

In some cases there is no high personalization, but they unlikely need root
