[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jaedenhudson14:
Yeah. even the power button wouldn't work. I believe the phones affected were the nexus 5x, LG G4, G5, V10, and I think a couple others. The new 2 year warranty is probably because of this as 90 percent of these failures occurred after the 1 year warranty period. For all the devices affected they extended the warranty to 2 years for bootloop related issues.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Thankfully, that has nothing to do with the LG V30. We are talking about any issues with 2017 LG V30, not phones from past years. You're going to confuse people who think you are talking about problems with the LG V30. :eek: I understand you are upset about LG's failures in the past, but the question is about possible CURRENT problems with LG V30.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jaedenhudson14:
I know. I was explaining to jcsww about the issues of the previous phones and was kinda wondering if the V30 is going to end up the same way those phones did in terms of seeming like pretty bad ass phones for the first year and then developing serious problems after a year.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
I understand. It's just skimming through the thread, there was all these details about CPU coming loose, blah, blah. Sounds scary! But it's not the LG V30.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] steve841:
Mine has zero issues. Very good phone - and that says a lot since I swore years ago Id never own LG again.

I have seen that Verizon loads so much bloatware on the phone ... I was amazed. I have Tmo ... a few things on there than cannot be removed or disabled, but nothing crazy.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] deciBel71:
Hi,

I am seriously thinking of buying LG V30 when it becomes widely available in Europe,

however this review (https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/16/16457544/lg-v30-review-design)

has put me off. Can anybody comment on the screen issues this guy mentions?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] pomponazzo:
I've been following closely those complaints about the display. From what I read on Reddit or on XDA, it seems that only the first batches of V30s had those display issues, but LG corrected their production in october. The Verge must have tested one of those first units (their review was published on october 16). It should be solved right now, complaints have dramatically decreased lately...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
And I can show you a review (sample below) from October 12, where the both pre-production and early production displays (on two different phones) were tested thoroughly and nothing was wrong. The point I'm making is even in the pre-production and early production phase seems the the problems were not widespread. It was luck of the draw, not every phone. Dozens of professional reviewers praised the display, but a couple of reviewers got bad ones. Same with early purchasers. But Android Headlines got great displays in both pre-production and final retail (but still early production). So, the display issues had to be some minor percentage.

That's not to say LG hasn't improved the process so there's less lemons getting through the line, or perhaps with another month under their belt improved the quality even more, but you wouldn't have gotten such glowing reviews if every phone LG released in early October was a disaster.

Note the date, and note they tested two separate phones.

LG V30 Review: Setting The Record Straight For A Great Smartphone

October 27, 2017
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] chriskwarren:
No problems with my V30 so far. Manuf in October, only had it a few weeks. Slightly disappointed in the auto camera shooting (the Google camera app works for me, have not tried it much), but the most striking thing so far is the absolutely stellar battery life I am getting. I don't keep screen on time numbers and such, but I go to bed at night with well above 50%, and if I top up at all throughout the day, I'll go to bed with 65-70%. Thats using waze for about an hour, web surfing, reddit, Facebook, messaging, location turned on, etc. No messing around.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jaedenhudson14:
Yeah I read that big thread on reddit too. After reading it, it made me really second guess getting the V30, but after reading your post it makes me feel a bit better knowing LG acknowledged the issue and corrected it. So to be on the safe side should I try to make sure I have an october made unit (if I even have a say in it)?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] nighthawk696969:
I am also interested in buying this phone and was really curious how it's great canera lens will shoot with the Google camera that has great HDR. On my HTC 10 the difference is dramatic.

Could you or someone else post photos taken with stock camera vs gcam port?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ShaolinMilk:
I'm just super annoyed by the front camera. For a flagship device, you would expect the front camera to at least be okay. It's not even okay... it's like a 2mp webcam I bought back in the day. It's literally ****.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
You need to turn off all of the "extra" settings the Korean manufacturers love to have for the front facing cameras. Then you get more detail. I can get images showing plenty of the flaws on my face from the selfie cam. So it isn't the camera's fault.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] The Elite:
The single complaint I have on this phone (like I absolutely love every part of it except for this) is how easily the back scratches. I take good care of my devices and they have only been on a desk, in my pocket alone and the back already has multiple scratches. More worried about the back camera lens getting scratched then anything. I bought a case, however there was a scratch in between the cameras so I got a dbrand skin instead. Dbrand can be a hit or a miss since a few years back they had great prompt helpful replies but now it seems they just don't reply or take too long. I for one had my credit card charged for a skin that never shipped or never got a confirmation order for. This was probably because I exited the browser right after the progress bar completed, rather then wait for the page to reload (which honestly is kind of misleading) but yeah I'm not here to rant about dbrand. The back is supposedly gorilla glass 4/5? However scratches extremely easily, at least for my device. The screen however is doing fine (which I find is weird if they are mostly the same material? I have reversed my phone in my pocket multiple times as when I listen to music I have to orient it a different way in my pocket).
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Septembersrain:
My device has been great. No issues that are causing me grief. I haven't had lag, my screen seems pretty uniform, no app crashes, battery life is at least 10 hours SOT even with Blockada running.

Unless you count that T-Mobile might get a black V30+, then I feel a bit jiffed. That's a different story for another thread!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jaedenhudson14:
My original plan was to get a dbrand skin for the back as soon as I can for scratching issues. I also am going to get a case for it. Still trying to find a decent looking slim case as well.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] The Elite:
The Spigen Neo Hyrbid is a pretty good case, however adds some width which is why I reverted to a skin.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
I had one of those for my Note 3. The frame cracked the first time I dropped it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] bkeaver:
im using the Bear Motion case. its extremely minimal but adds decent grip to the sides, which is something a skin wont give you
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jaedenhudson14:
I dont mind width too much. Just trying to avoid an overkill case for the phone that makes it really bulky. I like having a slim case that at least protects the camera when I set it down on a table.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] stanleyopar2000:
since the older units had screen uniformity issues the V30+ is guaranteed to be the newest manufacture date right? It will be available Friday

I'm on T-Mobile
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
You can tell the manufacturer date on the outside of the box.

Only some of the older displays had issues, a minority.

I would get the V30+ for the extra internal storage, not even worrying anything about the display.

But yes, the T-Mobile V30+ is just being released, compared to the other U.S. and worldwide carriers' V30+ models that's been sold for over a month now.

U.S.Cellular released the V30+ first week of October and Sprint the second week of October. Other carriers in Europe and Asia have been selling it.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jaedenhudson14:
I am on Verizon, so I do not think I will ever see the v30+. The only major difference I can see is the storage, so it not coming to Verizon isn't a huge deal for me. I wont be getting the V30 for a bit yet anyways. Probably early to mid december. I want to save up a bit and put at least 200-300 dollars down on the phone to lower the bill a bit.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] TheFuzz:
Bought the phone as a prerelease from T-Mobile. I got it in hand well before they got it in stores so deffinitely a first batch phone.

I've had zero problems. This is easily the best phone I've ever owned and I've had every major LG release since the G3
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] duman95:
No issues at all. I have an early 10/2017 manufacturer date on my phone. The only problem is that I can't get the battery below 50% even when I stream apple music all day, text, surf, and make a few calls....

Honestly it's a great phone. Coming from a Moto X Pure that never got off of 6.0 it is like Night and Day. It took a few days of use to get used to the 18:9 display, but I really like it now. Love the wireless charging, never had that before. Great audio with the DAC.

The ONLY thing I am getting used to is the auto brightness, it is dark and you can't adjust like my old phone, seems to be a T-Mo issue... LUX fixes that for me.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] stanleyopar2000:
You had the moto x pure too?? So that was the phone which you will never buy another Lenovo or moto phone right?

"Pure Android" updates my ass!!!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] bitwiser:
I love this phone. I have since release date on tmo. Besides the occasional lag/stutter the phone is fantastic. I wish I could have the speed of the Pixel 2 and stock android on it with fast updates...but besides that it is near perfect. Best "in-hand" feeling phablet there is.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] barondebxl:
Couple of freezes but that's the usual Android crap. Other than that no issues
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] duman95:
Yep no more Moto for me. The battery was starting to go after 2 years too so it was time to look for a new phone. Moto was not even a consideration, lack of support, and it had a bluetooth bug where audio would stop randomly on 6.0 that was never fixed because it was never updated to any version past 6.0... Shame... I suspect had Moto stayed under Google support might have been better. I think it had a SN808 processor which was a bit rough around the edges when it was released which I feel led to the poor battery life and thermal cycles. Still it was a good phone at the time of release in 2015. I think the processor had some conflicts with newer operating systems and that delayed the updates... Oh well.. I think it just finally got 7.0 last month.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Hisma:
for me the most annoying problem I am noticing is that the camera misses focuses very often in auto. It's not a quick "point and shoot" camera, it seems. Even if I tap on the subject so that it focuses... once that subject moves, it's a blurry mess. I did not have this issue with my previous phone, samsung s7 active. It was quick to focus, and could track moving subjects fairly well. Even just whipping out the camera and pressing the shutter button usually resulted in a clean picture.

So yeah, hopefully software fixes the dodgy auto mode. Are other people also having issues w/ moving subjects? I have a kid, so it's really hard to take good pics of kids if it can't handle moving subjects.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] will54880:
I just got my v30 yesterday, used (bought off Swappa). This is a really good device, BUT, the cellular reception is poor compared to other phones I have used. I am on Cricket which uses att towers, which my city has plenty of. I have read that others have seen similar drops in signal.

Oh, and I highly recommend installing a 3rd party launcher- the stock one wouldn't even let me remove the att shortcuts.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] bkeaver:
must be an AT&T reception issue.. I am on T-mobile and have yet to have a dropped call..
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Or a Cricket issue. Cricket often has outage problems.

Even though they are owned by AT&T, AT&T treats them like and configures them like an MVNO.

They use different SIM cards from AT&T (with lower priority), different data proxy servers(with high pings/high lag). You won't see an AT&T logo anywhere near a Cricket store.

Whereas AT&T Prepaid uses same SIM cards as "postpaid" AT&T, same high speed data servers with low ping speeds/low lag, same in-store customer service as any other customers.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] baillou2:
The only thing that really annoys me is the volume control. The system automatically lowers volume and won't let you keep the volume you had when you unplugged your headphones. And when you turn it up you get a warning dialogue and have to click yes to raise it. It's annoying as hell. And it does it every time somewhere around level 50 (out of 75). But if you're not a loud volume listener it won't bother you. Otherwise the phone is pretty awesome.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Which model do you have? I know EU is more stringent about that volume stuff.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] 20degrees:
Yeah. And I thought a few people on xda stated you don't have to confirm the volume boost in TMobile?!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Hisma:
if you're using the quad dac, no. I believe it does with the dac off though.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Ningboren:
Photo shots in night time auto mode really sucks, totally unusable under the extreme low light environment. The camera app lags big time, I can never use it to capture a moment happening because of the lag. It also froze my V30 from time to time. Other than that everything else works alright, but the camera will be a total deal breaker for me, going back to the Note 8 on the 26th.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] CHH2:
That's because this phone is designed to be used by those who are willing to take control over their content creation and not just let the phone do everything. The issue definitely isn't the ability of the camera. My first test shots were in one of the darkest room of the museum I used to work in, ISO 3200 1/15s type shots. Did as well as my old Nikon D300 did in the same conditions. That's pretty amazing for such a tiny sensor.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Septembersrain:
Okay, so here is my recommendation getting the V30/V30+:

Just ask them to take you to a dark room and go into the secret menu. Run the LCD test. That'll give you the exact quality of what to expect before you even leave.

*#546368#*998# (Or whichever model, in my case instead of 998, it's 932)

SVC Menu > LCD Test > Automatic or manual test is fine but if you've got screen turn off at 30 seconds or less it'll turn off before it's done. So best to do manual or turn up time to keep screen on.

I have gotten myself a lemon because I traded in my perfectly good V30 for the V30+. Leaving in a few to head to store about an hour away. Fun stuff.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
If the store doesn't have a suitable replacement, I would recommend calling and yelling at Customer Care to pull one, test it before shipping it to ensure it's perfect, and then ship it out to you via next day delivery. Best of luck!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ern88:
I am lucky, I ran the test and my screen is really good when I ran the test. I was really worried when I saw the pic of Septembersrain. I do have the 933 Canadian model.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] gu2018:
Hi guys,

I am unable to delete my google account. I hate being logged in all the time. I haven't had this issue with any other device so far. This may not be a lgv30 specific issue. But an irritating android feature. In the error, it says some applications need google account hence cant be removed. I cant figure out which app. I even tried uninstalling all apps but whatsup. Still no luck. I did some research and a lot of people recommend deleting some files for which i need to root it. Is there some other way ?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
1) When you tap the edit button, what happens?

2) Are you sure you're using Google Contacts app and not some 3rd party contacts app like Simpler?

"Other devices"? Have you used Android phones? Or just flip phones? It's pretty much required to have Google account and stay logged in on Android phones. Especially for app updates through Google Play store.

You can remove your Google account. Just reset your phone and don't add it back. Hit skip when it asks. But you won't get app updates.

Or you can create another Google account, if there's some reason you don't want to use your "personal" account. However, you'll have to add all your apps to that account.

And yes, I know you can probably find all sorts of workarounds to stay "off the grid", but in all the Android phones I've used since 2010 pretty much require a logged in account to work well.

The only issue I had was with bluetooth phone calls. This seems to be an issue with the V30 and Subaru vehicles. There is a lot of static on phone calls, while other bluetooth audio (music, podcasts) is fine. Unfortunately, I use my bluetooth every day for phone calls. Tried three devices and all had the same issue. If an update addresses the problem, I would buy this phone in a flash. Until then, I am using the GS8+
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Mangtas_666:
Mine doesn't connect with 2.4ghz of wifi
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] pauledd:
I noticed wifi speed problems (2,4GHz, AP 4 Meters away), I was able to fix that by a short wifi disable and re-enable. It makes the transfer rate slow to something about 75kbps. After re-enabling wifi it went back to a stable ~6MB/s. I have no idea what causes the issue, maybe some kind of energy saving modus of the wifi module (I have "wifi keep enabled in standby" on ). Then after some time the speed goes back to slow and I have to re-enable wifi...

Now I switched my AP to 5GHz and everything is fine.

A second "issue" I noticed was that the AOD recently shows strange behaviour. It seems to adapt its brightness to the environment light. If I cover the light sensor AOD turns off, in bright light AOD gets quite bright and only in a very small range of dim environment light the AOD turns into that dimmed brightness... Could it be they changed something in the behaviour with the January Patch Update??? Or was this the normal behaviour all along?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
All three of V30/V30+ connect with 2.4GHz just fine. At home I only have 2.4GHz Wi-Fi router, on purpose.

---------- Post added at 06:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 AM ----------

They did make the AOD brighter in the recent update. That's the Verizon V30 verbose update log, but pretty sure all the V30/V30+ updates had similar.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75226439&postcount=12

Also, there's a sub-menu setting inside the AOD setting to increase AOD brightness, which has been there all along.

As far as adaptive brightness, I don't know. Maybe tied to display "auto brightness" -- which I keep turned OFF?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] gu2018:
[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] . I meant android only. Even my nexus 2013 tab doesn't enforce this. I get your point that the account is needed for software updates etc. But all my other android devices let me remove the account.

Interestingly even in my lgv30+, I remember i was able to remove the google account on the first or second say. Now it gives a generic error that some other applications using it. Unfortunately it doesn't say which app.

Reset phone, root etc is not a viable solution. Wondering if there is any other way out to remove the google account. The worst case, i will use your suggestion of creating a dummy account.

Yes the AOD behaves now in bright daylight AS IF I would have enabled the increase brithness in the AOD menu, but its not enabled.

Just another question. Do you see any notificaton in the AOD if there was an incomming call or message?

I've been experiencing several issues: Bluetooth static, Bluetooth cutting out at random, Bluetooth information displayed incorrectly (battery, signal), text messages double sending to people, text messages not sending and staying in "sending mode", frequent reboots, the very bottom of the screen where the keys are, it needs tapped twice before it recognizes the tap, fingerprint scanner you have to do it twice sometimes, when turning up the volume using earbuds/headphones, the volume drops way down for a split second before going up as intended.

I'm sure some of these are software related, but I won't know until an actual update is released.

feels good in hand, battery time is phenomenol and DAC is something you have to experience for yourself

that out of the way, i hasnt been quite smooth sailings all the way.

the first phone i got had a line running vertically through the center of the screen. Amazon replaced it no issues.

Replacement screen is perfect, no crushing banding or anything.

A few minor niggles here and there like the bottom nav bar being white in some apps, Screen waking up while charging on some chargers , and wide angle camera fishlense effect are somethings i can live with
