Yes, but most manufacturers at least put in the effort to provide stable updates. The current Android 9 version also is lacking in performance, we can all agree that the v30's hardware is no slouch even in 2020 but LG's software is just not able to fully harness that power.

I will still hope my next phone to have similar hardware like amoled display at 2k resolution hopefully with a 120hz refresh rate this time with no notches or hole punches, water resistance, maybe the 30w wireless charging like Huawei, a 4k+ mAh battery and the software support of OnePlus.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vishal570:
Do you have any idea on security updates ? Will we be able to get for another year ? And i heard that google is planning to send the security updates by playstore where in users can download without support from OEM . is that true ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
We should get security updates as V30 is an enterprise recommended device or something.

No we won't get security updates via play store. That's probably planned only for newer phones.

Our device doesn't even support project treble, I highly doubt an old device will support a feature that's still not out and still in planning
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vishal570:
I think this month we are supposed to get the Security update of december right ? Still i don't think it's available yet . I want to move to LG G9 or V60 if it releases in India, i am not interested in moving to other manufacturer since they already removed headphone jack . But in India LG will release their mobile 5 to 6 months late that's the worry.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
LG is generally slower releasing updates in Indiia, let's see when it comes.

I wonder if we'll get support for Wifi calling

Yeah. The V50 and G8 didn't even get released in India. They released the watered down G8s and G8x recently.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
No more LG for me. Especially now since they've moved to notched designs. The main reason I bought the v30 was that it was one of the very few flagships that didn't have an ugly notch.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mannulko:
Does lg v30+ support wifi calling in india?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
No. As far as I know :(
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] suyogmh:
LG V30+ got VoLTE support for non-JIO operators like Airtel, IDEA, Vodafone so late compared to other phones.

I don't think VoWiFi support will ever come though phone is very much capable. If I am not wrong V30+ or V30 variants in other countries already have this feature enabled.

I bought V30+ on launch day on Amazon India , it is more than 2 years now. Hardware wise this is best phone I have owned till now and it has great reliability, battery life even after 2 years is good.

For user like me who hates display notches, holes I feel there are hardly any options currently or near future, especially with 3.5 mm jack with great DAC.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
The phone already has vowifi support, the operators have not activated it from their end for any LG phones yet for some unknown reason.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] suyogmh:
Any idea whether V30+ will get any security updates in India ? Last one was September Security patch which came along Pie update.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
It should. Korean carrier V30 variants just got new update in mid-January.

There's a whole bunch of V30 who last got updates with September security patch. Now that LG has given their staff 3-4 months off, maybe they'll get back to work. :rolleyes:

Korean carrier variants usually get updates first, then they trickle down to all the other variants.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] suyogmh:
That's good news. I am thinking of exchange/selling my V30+ but kind of offers (via OLX, Amazon/Flipkart Exchange or Cashify) I am getting are totally ridiculous, ₹ 5-6k.

Hopefully can carry on till March/April and then decide.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
Resale value of this phone is nonsense on this phone in India, I'm glad I didn't buy this at the full launch price.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
Yeah. No point in selling it at so low price.

I'll keep this phone as a backup phone when I buy a new phone.

When I am trying to wipe delvik cache through twrp recovery it says failed to mount storage.what to do?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
Reboot recovery and try to wipe dalvik cache again.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
If you remember from WTF instructions, if you get failure to mount storage error, you re-boot to Recovery from within Recovery. In TWRP, go down to Reboot menu but instead of System, you choose Recovery.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I would suggest reading Section 6 of the WTF Instructions, particularly Point #7. Says if install TWRP without reformatting data (not just wiping, but reformat where you type "yes") that you will get mounting errors. It doesn't exactly fit your symptoms, but close. See screenshot below.

Also, what TWRP are you on and what firmware are you on? For WTF and bootloader unlock and root and any Oreo firmware, you should be on 3.2.3.7. There is a newer TWRP for Pie firmware. So, I'm curious which TWRP and which firmware you are on?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
Did anyone know this feature existed? I didn't. I didn't see this on the Pie kdz but I see it now when I installed the pie twrp ZIP. Same goes for the "Flash alert for incoming call" under sound settings.View attachment 4954791
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
This feature is in kdz too

The only difference in kdz and twrp are that twrp has

1. Dts enabled

2. Rctd

3. Disable encryption

I also found this few days back , looks cool. Wish there was way to change colour of notification ring though.

There are other such small changes , features added in Pie update which I came across and was pleasantly surprised.

We are now in march . Anyone got any update on security patches update for V30 ? [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] if you've any please let me know.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
None, buddy. Welcome to the world of LG, life's good.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vishal570:
[MENTION=4498932]sinnerz2000[/MENTION] thanks for the update . It looks like it's finally time to move on from my beloved LG V30+ . i will wait for LG V60 or Xperia 1 MK2 then or wait till few months to pick up the V60 pro or g9 or whatever that releases in q3 2020 of LG with upgraded specs.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
V60 is only 1080p. I've had 1440p QHD on my phones since 2014 and I'm not downgrading.

LG is supposed to release new series Q3 to take the place of V series end-of-year flagship phone. V-series has been relegated to the early-year G-series release slot, and by the 1080p display looks like a demotion.

G series used to be best, then V series came along. Now there's a new kid in town. No name announced yet.

I hope (whatever it's called) the new Q3 LG flagship is indeed basically a "V60 Pro". ;)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vishal570:
[MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION]. Yeah that was my major gripe as well so also looking at Xperia 1 MK2 option also or if i can get lg v60 for very good price i might go for it . If both of these phones were not satisfactory after the reviews i fee like waiting till Q3 to see what's in store for LG new phone and make a call then , till then my v30 should hold up well i guess
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] suyogmh:
I believe currently only Sony and LG have 3.5mm Jack in their flagships. For Sony it was comeback of feature.

One more thing which I like about Sony is that they still haven't gone for stupid notches, punch hole screens which LG has.

I wish if Sony gets smaller device ( smaller than currently announced Xperia 1 MkII) with QHD screen that will be great.

Sadly Sony Mobile is already out of India and I may need to get it from abroad.

BTW Dual SIM variants have become standard in USA , Europe now or not ? Even if it is 1 Physical SIM + 1 eSIM

---------- Post added at 06:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 AM ----------

Dual App support - Shows only Whatsapp for me

Dual File manager

Screen Recording

HiFi Sound controls in manual Video mode
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
No, not in U.S. Dual SIM cards are not a feature we desire or need. Our carriers (or their affiliated MVNOs) are nationwide and there's no advantage to having two different carrier monthly bills.

Also, most Americans (not me) buy their phones from their carrier stores. This is why you have Verizon branded phones, AT&T phones, Sprint phones, U.S. T-Mobile phones... Those carriers aren't going to put a 2nd SIM card slot (for another carrier) on their own branded phones.

But even for myself who buys carrier unlocked phones (not branded carrier phones), I don't need 2nd SIM card. I use one carrier. Yes, over the past 10 years I've had three different carriers for my carrier-unlocked phones, but only one at a time.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] suyogmh:
Which OnePlus, Apple, Pixel variants are there sold ? Single or Dual SIM ?

If I am not wrong latest iPhones and Pixels have 1 physical SIM + 1 eSIM now

Dual SIM is must have for me, may be for most people in India , China, other parts of world.

One more advantage of Dual SIM phones is while travelling abroad.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
When I travel abroad I just swap out SIM cards. I'm just saying in U.S. it's not something that is needed or requested by customers, so U.S. phones typically don't have that feature.

That's why the LG dual SIM card variants (D, DS) are only sold in some global regions, where the carrier situation is different.

As for the eSIM capability, I vaguely recall some U.S. carriers had disabled that on their phones but got into trouble with U.S. FCC and now some will have that. I don't really keep up with that because it's not something I'll use.

With all my friends, none have ever wanted to use two carriers at the same time. We find carrier we like (signal strength where we live or price) and use that carrier only. All over the U.S. we can use the same carrier.

The v60 is 1080p? Wow, and I thought than them not choosing to go high refresh rate would be their down fall but they've even downgraded the resolution.

Honestly though, I feel that the v30 was not designed to support 1440p completely. I had such scroll lag but now it's better that I changed resolution to 1080p and I really don't notice the difference in quality.

Looked at the moto Z play with latest speaker/battery mod ? Since you don't care about camera might be worth looking at

the 600 series will beat the 800s for battery and will get longer media playback. With battery mods it will be still longer
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yes, and Motorola still give you headset jack with the mid-tier (Snapdragon 6XX) Moto Z Play series, while removing it for the "top tier" premium Snapdragon 8XX Moto Z/Moto Z Force variants. They also give you smaller battery with the higher priced Moto Z/Moto Z Force than with Moto Z Play.

To drive the point home, on their budget phones Moto C Plus and Moto E Plus, Motorola gives you 4000 mAH and 5000 mAh batteries, also with headset jacks.

So, the more money you give Motorola, the less you get. :rolleyes:

I've had Motorola phone the past three years, but it was designed when Google still owned Motorola. The Moto XT1225, sold in India as the Moto Turbo. It was basically a Moto Nexus 6 in a more reasonable size and the "international" version of the Verizon Droid Turbo.

But after Google sold Motorola to Lenovo, they went off the rails. They now require "mods" to add back functionality they should have in the phone in the first place -- like Qi wireless charging, decent battery, stereo speakers.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] shethsa:
Maybe iPhone needs mods as well ;)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
The Z2 play has a smaller batter than the previous Z play but the 2nd gen battery mod is bigger and better than the first gen mod

Ideal combo for battery is first gen Z play with a 2nd gen motorola battery mod

It was really premature for moto and htc to remove the jack on their high end models

I remember the Turbo it wasn't as popular but seemed like a very snappy device. People were more interested in the X series

Moto executed mods better than LG

If you're looking for a phone with a difference as opposed to same looking then moto has something with the play and mods
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yes, but saying one company's mods are "better" is like saying one crime boss kills less people than another.

Mods are still symptoms of OEM not including necessary function in the phone to begin with. Like a car salesman only including 2 tires with a car. With a mod , you get the other two tires! Motorola reduced the battery size to force you to buy a battery mod. The 2016 Play still had "too much" battery, so they reduced it even more in 2017.

Yet in my 2014 5.2" XT1225 they gave you a 3900 mAh battery. In current budget phones they give you 4000 and 5000 mAh battery. With batteries like that, you don't need a mod.

Same with Qi wireless charging and stereo speakers. They included all those features in 2014 phones, then decided to remove that functionality and charge you MORE money to add it back.

That's why majority of Moto mods are just more battery. Or battery + Qi wireless charging. And then you can't use more than one mod at a time. Want stereo speakers or more battery? Why can't BOTH already be built in?

Mods are evil company intent to extort more money for what you already paid for.

Just glancing the reviews on amazon India. Some people think they were sold refurbs from abroad because their phone is called 'joan' :D

The v30 is known as project JOAN

10a has the joan name, its changed to v30+ with v10c update
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yes, "Joan" is LG's worldwide code name for the LG V30/V30+. Like "Shamu" for the Moto Nexus 6.

Or "Quark" for the Moto Turbo XT1225, Droid Turbo XT1254, Moto Maxx XT1225/XT1250. On that phone, Motorola changed the consumer model name, depending on country, sometimes even the carrier... For instance, Droid Turbo XT1254 and Moto Maxx XT1250 are the EXACT same phone, with the even the same FCC ID, and both sold in the U.S. But carrier Verizon demanded an "exclusive", so the U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250 name was changed to Droid Turbo XT1254 for the Verizon model. :rolleyes: But XT1250 will run on Verizon with a Verizon SIM card because it's the exact same phone! You can also flash Verizon firmware over the XT1250 to make it say it's a "Droid Turbo". Same with the Moto Turbo XT1225 and Moto Maxx XT1225. The internal company name, the project name, was Quark for that device -- no matter the product consumer name.

Joan is that for the LG V30/V30+. The only difference is internal storage -- but even Shamu and Quark had different internal storage variants.

Typical misleading comments on Amazon India

Hopeless
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
This is sad they would think that. WHY would the internal project name being referenced make people think it's a refurb?

Amazon wouldn't sell merchandise as new if it's refurbished? Plus, the India LG V30+ is made in India. It says so on the back of the phone. So, how could it be a refurb from abroad?

Having said that, mine is called V30+ and V30 by LG on my US998 10B software, in the About Phone" section. You can rename that what you want, actually. It's a customizable field. For my wife's, I put her name in front of V30. Or you can call it V40+, if you wish. ;) Impress your gullible friends!

As an aside some tech tricksters did this here in the U.S. with iSheep. They demonstrated to a group of people all the "new" features the new iPhone would have (which Samsung, LG, etc of course already have) and got them all excited about the "new" innovations Apple was going to unveil -- and then revealed it was really an Android already available for sale. Maybe we should do that with OnePlus fans:

Bought the 1more triple driver earphones and disappointed to see no real impact of the quad dac using it. Maybe because I'm using lower quality audio files. All in all, quad dac is not your 'typical' consumer feature and I'm a little disappointed that these so called good earphones don't sound better with the v30+
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] saj2001ind:
It needs high impedence headphones to make a real impact

But still with lower impedence earphones it sound better than other phones
