If you're talking about the LG G6+ which I was discussing, the South Korea LG G6+ models (3 different carriers) all have Qi wireless charging.

http://www.valuewalk.com/2017/06/lg-g6-plus-lg-pay-launched-south-korea/

I even have Qi wireless charging cerifications for the South KOREA G6+ carrier models (3 different carriers) I can dig up when I get home. For now, you'll have to be content with these news articles.

Here you go, as promised.

Qi Wireless Consortium certifications for three South Korea carriers for their LG G6+

, as well as the North America LG G6+:

Also LG lists Qi wireless in the specs of all three South Korea LG G6+ carrier models on the lge.co.kr website. Use Google Translate to look at the specs.

LGM-G600KP

LGM-G600SP

LGM-G600LP

But being listed in the database of the Qi Wireless Consortium really proves it. ;) The South Korea LG G6+ is Qi certified. Not sure why you didn't believe this, unless I misunderstood and you were talking about just the LG G6. (LG treats the LG G6+ as completely separate phone, seperate release from the LG G6+.)

I said over and over the mid-year South Korea LG G6+ got all the specs LG should have given to all the LG G6 in the first place. THAT should have been the "LG G6" in early 2017 and LG could have strongly competed against Samsung Galaxy S8/S8+ -- even with Snapdragon 821.

It was quite ridiculous to release a "premium" phone with 2016 Snapdragon 821 in July 2017, after half a dozen OEMs had "next gen" Snapdragon 835 phones on the market. Instant irrelevancy.

There's a saying, "Too little... Too late."

Early 2017 LG G6 (with silly regionionalized specs) was too little, and

Mid-year 2017 LG G6+ (with all specs, but still Snapdragon 821) was too late.

LG needs to learn to go with their best efforts FIRST. That's the only way they'll win.

Now I'm trying to find the setting that lets you change the clock view on locked display. I found it a few days ago and changed it to what I wanted, now I can't find it again for a friend who bought this phone.

Chazz is the US.Cell US998 the same as the unlocked one? all the us998's are the same right?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
It's the same except the U.S. Cellular model won't be eligible for bootloader unlock. The U.S.Cellular model is the "unofficial" carrier unlocked model.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yeah, I think a lot of people who bought that because it was a carrier unlocked model are now selling to get the "official" carrier unlocked model ("open market" US998), which will be eligible for bootloader unlock.

B&H had a used one i had in cart and was paying for and someone sniped it somehow,. and B&H wouldnt do anything for me
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I would be suspicious. U.S.Cellular model was released October 6, while B&H Photo went on sale December 1. That low a price means either something is wrong with it or it's U.S.Cellular model. Nothing wrong with U.S.Cellular model, if you don't want bootloader unlock.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
This has been added to the B&H Photo pre-order page. Not quite a promise of a shipping date, but something.

LG is like an autistic child with ADD. They can only do one thing at a time in a certain order...

Europe H930 HAS to be released first. Then US998 64GB a month later. Can't do them both the same time. THEN US998 V30+ a month after that... Can't do then both at once! Just can't.

And only WEEKS later, place those phones on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list in staggered order -- even though preemptively placing them on the list PRIOR to release would BOOST sales. Buyers would be reassured they're buying what they think they're buying.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Septfox:
Ehh, as someone who works for a company who mainly sells things on eBay: not really.

If you set a high price from the outset, people don't want to bid on it because they come to eBay for much lower prices, not $50-$100 off. It then exposes you to being undercut by other sellers; people will almost always go for the slightly lower-priced product if the sellers are otherwise roughly equivalent, and a much lower price is a no-brainer.

If you start out lowish, people start bidding on the item, and then they get committed to winning...to some extent. It could be that they feel like they need to follow through, they need to win because dammit they want THIS SPECIFIC PHONE (we're generally wired to be competitive), or simply that they feel like driving the price up to spite the other people who dare to make them pay more than the base bidding amount.

No matter which is the case, the seller wins. If they need to make a certain return on the phone, that's what reserve prices are for.

I'm not saying that you aren't right, though, it probably is a US Cellular variant. The average consumer won't know or care about the difference, and "unlocked" is of course still used to describe its network usability rather than bootloader ability.

Regarding release dates, you know how it is in the US: the carriers rule the roost. LG isn't going to allow bootloader unlocks until after Christmas, when TMobile and Verizon and...er...the other carriers that are insignificant beside them, have sold as many carrier variants as they can as gifts/upgrades. They probably get far less per phone when they sell via carriers, but I'd imagine the volume makes up for it.

That in mind, I would count on a week or so into January before official unlock comes around, to get the backed up Christmas carrier orders a chance to clear out so people can't cancel them.

No idea what's up with their release scheduling though; between dragging it out for half a year and their utterly baffling marketing practices, I don't understand how they function as a company outside Korea. You would think it'd be easy for them to step back and clearly see why their sales volume can't seem to compete with the likes of Samscum or even lower-end companies like Lenovorola, but apparently not.

Heck, they could give me a few hundred bucks to consult, I'd describe in great detail how they're screwing themselves over and how to fix it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(here's a freebie: making your customers wait several months after hyping your phone, only to omit things that are supposed to be bundled/exhibit quality issues despite having so much time to bin parts properly/not offer the higher-capacity variants concurrently/etc are all bad things you shouldn't do)

Good lord, this drip drip of very little information is absolutely killing me. Is a date really so hard to come by for LG? Maybe I can live without wireless charging after all. I can have a OnePlus 5T, in my hand and rooted, maybe by this weekend. Aargh.

Are you using this phone on AT&T network?

I want to get V30 or V30+ from BH, but this phone has missing LTE band on ATT network.

ATT LTE use 2 / 4 / 17 / 30 band, and phone LTE is listed 4G LTE	LTE: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13, 20, 25, 66 Bands. Band 17 and 30 are missing.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ragtim:
I think Chazz has said something to this effect before, but apparently 12 and 17 are now inter-operable and carriers are sometimes just listing 12. I can say that on my US998 v30 I get 17 and it isn't listed on the spec page either.

https://www.fiercewireless.com/wireless/at-t-achieves-interability-700-mhz-band
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] feelfreetoblameme:
Exciting! Did you see this review: https://www.pcmag.com/review/358021/lg-v30? I hadn't given much thought to Band 46. Does your unlocked version include that band, maybe in the hidden menu? I didn't see it in the screenshots you posted in that other thread talking about being locked to an LTE band. Since you're on AT&T and I'm on T-Mobile, this could potentially have impact on both of us with unlocked phones. I really wish LG didn't fragment this or cause this confusion.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
AT&T is now listing it as band 12, not band 17.

Here's the AT&T LG V30 H931 from ATT.com. Tell me the bands you see? Tell me the bands AT&T made LG put into their own phone?

https://www.att.com/cellphones/lg/v30.html#specs

Now, here's the bands I see on my US998 with my AT&T SIM card:

Do you see LTE band 17 and 30 on my US998? But yet instead of 17, I still connect to LTE band 12 on LTE Discovery app. AT&T is calling it LTE band 12 on all newer phones.

It's why band 17 is NOT listed even on the specs AT&T LG V30 H931, on LG website or AT&T website. Band 12 is listed instead on all new AT&T branded phones.

17 is a subset of 12 and all their new phones now cover all of band 12 -- so they now call that section of band 12 (which is 17) as "band 12" also. Sort of like using a broader zip code instead of specific street name. The zip code covers ALL the streets in that area, you don't need to verify a specific street name.

It's a development since the beginning of 2017 and many websites like that frequency check site have not updated.

Bottom line, even AT&T no longer sells new phones with "LTE band 17" listings, because LTE band 12 covers LTE band 17.

Also you won't see LTE band 66 listed with my AT&T SIM card because AT&T doesn't use LTE band 66, but yes this phone is capable of it with a T-mobile SIM card.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
LTE band 46 is of those unlicensed spectrum bands T-Mobile is using?

I'm not even showing LTE band 66, even though this phone is capable of LTE band 66. It's not showing it with my AT&T SIM card. If I stuck in a T-Mobile SIM card, it probably would. Yet it's showing other LTE bands which are not AT&T. I have no explanation why.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] waichai:
ChazzMatt,

Thank you so much for explanation.

Do you have any LTE signal drops when using LG V30 US998?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
No, I haven't.

The only issue I have is my own fault, and that is I'm stuck on whatever LTE band I choose from the hidden menu. A factory reset should fix it, fixed it for others, but I can't do that until this weekend because I need my phone during the work week. (Takes me hours to set my phone up, download all my apps, etc.)

Also my V30+ should be delivered by Friday evening, according to UPS tracking.

Sent from my carrier unlocked LG V30 US998
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] feelfreetoblameme:
Yes, from what I read, it's something called LAA, using unlicensed spectrum to augment LTE reach (maybe into structures and such?). Anyway, I think the bigger deal to me is eventually getting root, and then maybe flashing of radios will make this a moot point. I've complained enough on this thread so won't do too much more, will just get the phone and probably enjoy it.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
You can pop it in and it will work, but will still be best you tell AT&T what new phone you have so you can get best LTE speeds.

My AT&T SIM card I used with my Moto XT1225 worked fine. Days later took it to AT&T store and they changed info on their system, added serial number, etc.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Mine arrived last night. 12/2017 build date. The 128GB black LG V30+ is much better looking than the 64GB silver LG V30!

Not a great picture of the two, don't have time for showcase shots. :)

Almost finished setting it up. Still need to add corporate email and stuff. Moved over SIM card and microSD to from V30 to V30+

About to buy a 3rd one, another LG V30 for backup. A friend bought one from B&H Photo ($800 price match with Best Buy), then bought a 2nd LG V30 ($800) to get the $400 gift card and wants to sell it. Still new in the box. She only ordered it after she realized she needed to buy another. She says she'll split the $400 gift card value with me and sell it to me for $600... That would bring my average cost for all three to $643. That one should also have a 12/2017 build date, since she just ordered it last week.

So, my wife and I will have the V30 and V30+. Then have another V30 for emergency backup. Then, I can sell all but one of my Moto XT1225 phones. Already sold one of them on Swappa a couple of months ago (the one brand new that was still in the box), but still have two. Will keep one so I can stay active in those threads, but don't need two.

This link on LG.com shows you where to buy.

LG V30+™ | Unlocked

US998U Unlocked

http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-US998U-Unlocked-v30-plus

Right now the only place listed is still the same link as the first post in this thread -- which is this one below. B&H Photo. Now shipping, out of pre-order phase. The "open market" carrier unlocked 128GB LG V30+ is black, while the 64GB LG V30 is silver. So, if you want black you have to buy the V30+

LG V30+ US998U 128GB Smartphone (Black)

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1379518-REG/lg_lgus998u_a1usbk_v30_unlocked_phone_black.html

Best Buy and Amazon will also probably be added. Best Buy has the 64GB (silver) LG V30, or at least has it listed online, because B&H Photo price matched it for me.

Only authorized retailers -- NOT carriers -- are selling the bootloader eligible unlocked US998 LG V30/V30+. That's also the model number of the U.S. Cellular model, but theirs won't be eligible for bootloader unlock, if LG follows the same pattern as with the LG G6. I guess LG will filter them by IMEI? So be very wary of any eBay sales. A whole bunch of people who got U.S. Cellular LG V30/V30+ are now selling them, now that the bootloader eligible versions have hit the market.

And right now, LG has not yet added either of the "open market" LG V30/V30+ to the LG Bootloader Unlock list. But they should soon.
