We are already in April and still no update officially released.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
If you mean OTA, you're on your own. If you mean 20E KDZ (full image),

I posted it last week

.

Has February 2019 security patch, other stuff. There's screenshots, etc and it's been discussed thoroughly. You can install it in 5 minutes via Upgrade mode in LGUP. Arrived in March 2019, just like LG said.

Screenshot thanks to [MENTION=5906767]tech_infinity[/MENTION] who has India H930DS and uses Jio.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lokesh.acm:
I also work for a phone company (can't say which) as a customer care representative.

Nothing much we can do about these type of questions.

We just have to say that we do not have the dates and ask the customer to stay tuned to our social media channels.

At least we commit to giving updates.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Whenever you wish, KDZ is available and you can use "Upgrade" mode via LGUP (if you are full stock). Like a manual OTA. Saves all your data.

For people who are bootloader unlocked and rooted, there's a TWRP FLASHABLE zip based on that KDZ.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
I guess I'll finally do it this time. Will I receive OTA updates to that KDZ once I flash on full stock? Also, can I shift back to IND KDZ if/when LG decides to actually release it?

I have recently bought LG V30+, it was fine when i got it. After i tried Custom ROM and due to system freezes, bootloop, so came back to stock. Stock ROM is also having similar issues, but not running latest version rom. Any suggestions guys ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] drone991:
Are you facing bootloops on stock rom as well ?

Are you using an H930DS or some other variant ?

Some people have complained about the stock rom being laggy for them. But that is most probably because of some third party app in the background. I've been using the device as a daily driver for about an year now and have never noticed any such freeze/lag issue. However the lag issue for most users was solved after updating to 20e firmware. Follow this guide to update to the latest firmware

If you're facing bootloops too first try doing a master reset link

and then flash the latest firmware using the link I mentioned above.

The link for upgrade using LGUP I provided is for Indian H930DS only
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aravind RaJ:
Facing Bootloop on Stock as well as Custom ROM ( Havoc and CR Droid )

Flashed the 20E version of firmware by upgrade method in LGUP, after that phone booted and everything was fine, then in 2 minutes device started to freeze and bootlooped. Then I flashed the 20E firmware in Refurbish mode and then phone bootlooped and showed erasing and bootlooped, waited for 10 minutes. after that lost patience and flashed 20b firmware and then upgraded to 20E firmware, it bootlooped again, this time I did a master reset, then after a 2 minutes of bootloop it entered into Initial Setup and device laggy as hell, after that every thing was setup and rebooted with fear, but It booted and still now( after 10 hrs) no Bootloop. thanks for all u r help guys.

I wondered whether my device has some issues or is it commom for everyone to face bootloops and high thermals when that happens.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
I think you have some device specific issue... Because...I am a heavy user... and my phone goes upto 45°C these days due to very hot summer...but it never reboots....There might be some loose internals...try getting it checked at a nearby LG service center.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Aravind RaJ:

I am thinking to buying this device for 22k. Is it Worth buying this device now since there are so many option like poco and other. I am currently using Lenovo P2 which too have amoled display and 5100mah battery. I just need a good display and battery.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
Display is damn good...But you will be disappointed by the battery life especially when you are coming from a 5000mah device.

Other than that...This is an awesome device.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] shabab malik:
What's the SOT you get in this device without heavy usages?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] suyogmh:
At 22k , I don't think you have any option which is comparable. It is old phone but still flagship.

If you don't mind very very slow updates and no dual VoLTE support, no VoLTE support from non Jio operators then go ahead.

Moto Z2 Force is another option but it lacks 3.5mm jack, half storage but more RAM.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] shabab malik:
I am confused between Samsung a50 and v30plus. Actually i don't care about update if everything is working fine. I don't need dual volte either since i use only 1 sim.

I have seen many review of this device but most of them are more then 1 year old. In most reviews they said that the back camera of this device is good but front camera is average. I usually don't click photo with phone so don't care about that too. But is Gcam working with device?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lokesh.acm:
I'll share my opinion. Got it in February for INR 25k

Bought it for the IP rating, wide angle camera and because I always wanted an LG phone. Reviews were good too.

What I like :

Display, battery life, good enough performance, good cameras, front camera is good in daylight, phone is lightweight.

What bothers me :

In low brightness if the screen background us grey, it looks horrible. Like there is something wrong with the screen. But I've heard it's an expected behaviour at low brightness. So at night, this bothers me. At full brightness, it's not there.

Camera is noisy. It's good but you'd be better off buying something else if you take a lot of pictures. Poco F1 is better in my opinion. My friend has Poco. But I hate the notch in Poco.

If you want to know about any specific feature let us know.

Edit : The phone looks and feels awesome :)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] shabab malik:
Thanks for your reply.

In my Lenovo P2 which is also have an amoled display when i lower the brightness below 20% screen become unpleasant and grey become black so i think this is how amoled display work.

What about the battery. How much time it take to charge it fully from 0 to 100? And how much Sot u get?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] suyogmh:
No contest with A50. Go with this one. Gcam working which has some improvement but if you don't bother much with camera then that's not important point as well.

I assume you are getting brand new for 22k.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] shabab malik:
Thankyou for clearing my doubt. So i am buying v30plus then. Yes it is brand new.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
Approx 6hrs....

With AOD and Auto Brightness on.

---------- Post added at 06:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 AM ----------

Poco... Its a budget flagship....Its build quality is nowhere matchable to V30...I used it...it was too flimsy..... Despite that V30 has a better Camera and an awesome Wide angle lens... Front Camera is bad...but with Gcam it gets better.

And Display is nowhere comparable.... LCD and OLED...there itself V30 wins.

I agree Poco has a better battery life... But It's heavier tooo....

Atleast....You get dozens of Ads in Miui... And you can enjoy an ad-free UI on LG V30. ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lokesh.acm:
4.5hrs of sot over 2 full days. With 1 SIM and only 4g internet data.

9hrs on WiFi just watching YouTube and Netflix with a BT earphone. I think that's excellent. I have a ton of apps installed too!

If you are notified like this who insist on camera being the 'best' go for the V30. Everything is great. Like the other person said, it's build is awesome compared to the Poco. Also, is a beautiful looking phone. I sometimes use it without a case.

I like to live life dangerously ;) haha

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lokesh.acm:
The branding is there on the back. I even got the B&O earphones.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Almost all V30 variants manufactured and sold around the world come from South Korea. My US998, the European H930, the Australian H930DS, the Italian H930G, the Canadian H933. If it's new, has India firmware, it's H930DS, comes with a warranty... then it's a new India H930DS. Doesn't matter where it's made.

LG is taking quite a beating in their mobile business. It might make sense for them to manufacture everything in South Korea, than keep a factory running in India.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] JEEVAMYIL:
Here in India the initial sales are through Amazon which is non b&o units and they are made in India.. Now they started sales in flipkart. the units are made in Korea and came with b&o branding..Yes the models have covered under warrenty. I told that so that easy to distinguish between the two.

(Mine is a b&o version made in Korea).

BTW i heard that they closed the Korean unit due to poor demand .read somewhere in internet
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] JEEVAMYIL:
Here
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
So, even closing South Korea factory! Wow. That hurt their pride.

But still, it doesn't matter where their phones are made as long as LG puts the firmware on and gives warranty. The newer India H930DS received the November 2018 update while the older (made in India did not), and the full image KDZ of that update was never publicly released. Now, the most recent update (March 2019) was publicly released as full image KDZ but not sure any India H930DS (new or old) received it as a partial image OTA.

The OTA part doesn't really matter, since the

full KDZ is posted here in XDA forum and [MENTION=3138121]seadersn[/MENTION] even made a TWRP-flashable zip with it

. But if no OTA, then it's an indication of how LG's reorganization is affecting their operations.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] suyogmh:
If any Mobile company wants to make profits in India then they have to make/assemble in India. That is basic fact.

This is reason why Apple, Google products are so much costly compared to their prices in USA or other parts of world. High import duties are designed for more make in India.

That's why Samsung and all Chinese brands have big assembly plants in India and sell phones cheaper in India Vs rest of world.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
What version of the Google Camera port works best for the V30? Seems like none of the new versions and developers are adding support for this.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Brazil tries that too (outrageous import tariffs), but doesn't really work well. People go outside Brazil to bring phones back during vacation/holiday. They can pay for the fun trip and the phones by selling a phone and keeping one for themselves. If they bring back three phones, that third one is pure profit.

My v30+ developed a green spot near the front camera. I went to the service centre to claim warranty. But the warranty was reject as there was a small dent in the extreme left top corner. I dont think the dent was responsible for the green spot in display as dent is far away from the spot/front camera.

No they aren't Pie (yet), but still updates coming:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lokesh.acm:
Thanks man.

You can see why they are rejecting warranty repair.

The damage is right where spot on the display is.

Can confirm our company would've rejected warranty repair for this.

Anyway, I'll tell you a secret ;)

If it were my company and you pestered them enough AND legitimately feel that problem is not due to the dent, then we usually escalate the issue yo higher authority and we actually argue with our seniors and push for a warranty repair.

Not sure someone at LG will do that for you but I just wanted to share this here.

Tell us, did that issue happen after the dent or before?

Not that it matters. I'm just asking to know.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] billamin:
i dont remember when it appeared, recently it caught my attention.

also the dent is not that deep to damage a phone display. i guess all our phone has dents like this.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lokesh.acm:
Thank you for sharing a story with us. Since it's a dent and not a scratch I don't think they will buy your explanation.
