For front camera, we've discussed in other threads since October. You can improve considerably by turning off all "skin smoothing" and "lighting" options.

No baksheesh :rolleyes:

Spend enough time around phones and i don't follow any of the big reviewers

I am surprised you moved fromt he s7e to the v30. Then you say you have a plus five so i figure you like changing phones often.

If you were in the market, an s8 doesn't offer much for variety and a note 8 isn't 15k better.

Looks like LG got the price right in India. Don't see V30 price dropping too fast after a few months.

amazing given the screw ups they've committed earlier this year across the world

This we can put down to UX6. Doesn't the G6 come with UX6 ?

Best software award given to LG, haha, thought this day would never come :D
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
G6 comes with UX 6 only... But this seems more optimized...And ..G6 still has Android 7.0 but V30 has 7.1.2...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
Better off using the rear camera for selfies. Front camera has been a weak point on LG's for a while. Odd because you couldn't say that about their rear cameras since the G4

Maybe in the next generation

---------- Post added at 08:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:30 PM ----------

Ah, then its something else. i cant see a point release making that much of a difference. Is there really that much of a difference between 835 and 821 in day to day use. With battery yes. anything else, hmm
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
I am using G6... Maybe SD 835 can make a bit difference...but UI lags are very less compared to G6... Maybe... I will try myself when I get my hands on V30...?

Time for a reset ?

Was it laggy when yu started or did it become that way after a while
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] shethsa:
I'm using the spigen crystal case.

BTW how do you switch off the camera shutter sound. (without putting in silent mode)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
Did reset twice.... These lags dont appear regularly... but sometimes...

Standby Battery Drain is also there...in G6..hope there is no such problem in V30...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
You cannot, not even in silent mode with Asian LG's. This apparently is the law in India and a number of Asian countries, Korea in particular.

But there are apps in the play store that work. On the V20 Mutecamera by SangGwon.park works.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gun0912.mutecamera&hl=en

15 silent clicks for free, after that you either pay or watch ads. This app can even silence audio by any other app that refuses it. Its not just for the camera, more apps can be added to the list

There are no free apps that silence the shutter and work with the stock camera.

If you don't mind using open camera, it has an option for silent clicks

Can you share your phone case with the phone in it? And if possible the Amazon / Flipkart link to buy the case.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
Well maybe there is a connectin with drain and lag.

How much drain you get on the G6

It's around 6% per 12h on wifi, with cell on the V20

This is normal for any phone i think. But there are times it can drain more for no reason.

How to increase the no.of row in the notification bar ? I'm from OnePlus 5 hamdset. I did installed Resurrection Remix Rom in my op5.

I used to change that setting and now I'm missing in my LG V30+

I would like to increase the no.of row from 3 to 5. Any leads ?

It lets you slide over to another page for icons beyond three rows, for another three rows.

No need to install all those... Use Google Camera... there will be no shutter sound ?

I only get 3hrs sot... maximum tats it...Phone idle drains the maximum battery
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
Err, no you do need those apps to silence the stock camera which is the highlight of this phone

Google camera meaning pixel camera won't work with the wide angle. open camera will.

It still won't be as good as the stock camera for speed, features and even image quality for that matter.

Where are your audio controls with 3rd party cameras and video. Not there.

The G6 can do 6h sot on wifi.

Are you on data, all the time and moving around all day ?

Somebody said not to use immersive mode as this consumes more battery
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
Am using G6 past 8 months... First 3 months... I got around 5hrs sot... Then it gradually decreased... Now only 3 hrs?... Same routine for the past 8 months... Both Data and WiFi balanced... I always stay in Strong Signal area... Already blocked Facebook, Insta, Twitter etc... by running in background using adb commands... Idk what to do... Not only me...many r facing this..
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Others over the past couple of weeks have posted that VoLTE is working. Also the KDZ of course even has LG India service app.

The India/Philippines/Indonesia all share the same KDZ image. What gets installed is through some kind of auto detect of your hardware.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] iamrexdotcom:
Yup, I agree about that auto detect your hardware.

I just wanna share my experience about android N 7.1.2 out of the box, for at least 2 days I am miserably experiencing the audio glitch of my LG v30+. Once the audio disappears, any videos I play will get stuck (stopped playing), no audio at all (the only solution I got is I need to reboot my phone) . Any media player, facebook video, instagram video, twitter videos, even .gifs doesn't play anymore. That experience lead me to at least unlock my bootloader and proceed to root. Upon reading a lot of your posts ChazzMatt, (that is really really helpful) I decided to just update it manually. and now, after 5 days I haven't experience any audio loss/glitch. Just 3 random reboots, one after changing my launcher to google pixel, second is while playing temple run, and third is while watching a netflix series. Though, no biggie at all. Loving my v30+ Oreo.. :good::good::good: :D
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] anirudhs2owner:
Your phone has some problem. I haven't had a single issue like this. Shouldn't you get it changed under warranty?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] iamrexdotcom:
If I still experience that problem, probably I'll go to the retail store for warranty purposes. But as of now, V30+ is working fine. (hoping that the problem didn't exist anymore.) :cool:

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bupreno:
I've read the roms do work on our h930 ds but do not detect sim card. If someone could atleast make that work !

It's superb for listening to audio , videography.

Theming is amazing.

Front camera is pretty bad.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funkym0nkey:
Anyone else facing dual sim issues with the phone at he moment?

I have one airtel and one jio. I had never used this phone in dual sim mode until this week. When data is set to jio, everything works ok for a while. Airtel does drop down to 2G automatically though, not even UMTS. Also if phone is left idle for a while, the people calling me on airtel complain that they get message that the phone is switched off. This does not get resolved until i make outgoing call from airtel sim.

Then for a short while, i can receive calls just fine. BUt again after letting phone idle for a while, same thing.

If I set data to airtel, jio sim completely shuts down to emergency calls. I guess this is mainly because the phone is not dual volte and only dual 4g which is odd as it still cant maintain even dual 4g standby. One sim falls back to 2g or 3g.

Very frustrating. I might do factory reset tonight and see if that fixes the not reachable issue.

Havent really done reset after oreo update.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] yusuf00786:
This is not the right forum but as deepak111 said G7 is better than V30+ it has many unique and best camera... especially in the total dark area where you cannot take a good picture with LG V30

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ethan3686:
Also the G7 has an LCD panel as opposed to the OLED on the V30. I just cant give up Oled now once you have used it. Totally inky blacks! Just beautiful. Would have bought the G7 if it was Oled and didnt have that ugly Notch. Hope they dont take such stupid decisions with the V40!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Sorry, they will -- at least the notch. LG V40 will have it. That's why I'm keeping my excellent LG V30+ phone until that ugly trend goes away.

G7 = JUDYN (Judy + Notch)

V35 = JUDYP (Judy + P-OLED, what LG calles OLED display)

V40 = JUDYNP(Judy + Notch & OLED)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
There will be an option to disable the notch. I don't know why its such a big deal to begin with. After a few days you won't even notice it.

I had a tab with 1 inch bezels for four years and never worried how thick they were
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
You didn't have a choice with large bezels back then. I do have a choice to skip a stupid trend. In a year or two there will be no idiotic notches and you won't have to "hide" something that shouldn't be there in the first place.

That's why I'm keeping my excellent LG V30+ phone until that ugly trend goes away.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funkym0nkey:
G7 is not tempting at all.

LG has poor history of supporting the G series compared to the V series. G6 got all but 2 updates until 2018 since it was launched. V30 at least got more security updates and wasnt 5-6 month behind with security patch like G6 was. Even V30 scene is not ideal but still better than G series.

Also cam is messed up right now. Check out Anandtech's detailed review. The G7 is producing no details and is even behind V30.

Look at these photos

V30: https://images.anandtech.com/galleries/6518/V30_20180717_124948_HDR.jpg

G7 : https://images.anandtech.com/galleries/6518/G7_20180717_134635_HDR.jpg

Look at the trees (full size resolution, watch it on desktop). The foliage is giant water paint looking mess.

Here is the camera section of a very nice review. : https://www.anandtech.com/show/13039/the-lg-g7-review/6

Stick with V30 and if you must buy LG again, wait for V40.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
I went with the v30 because of the notchless display and symmetric design. "Hiding" a notch just adds an ugly unsymmetric top bezel.

After buying the v30+ I'm set until the v50 or v60 releases, hopefully the notch trend is gone by then.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] yusuf00786:
For your information I did not used any software to enhance the image.

Its actual photo and taken by both the device.

The option is there to disable the notch
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
Am amazed at the work that went into that review. He is comparing with TWELVE other phones !!!

I think the G7 will get an update to improve details. There was one for the V30 that did improve details a few months after. It's unusual for LG to release camera updates as they tend to nail camera at launch. I got no camera updates for the G4 or V20

But as they add more features i suppose finishing touches take more time. There is no reason for the G7 camera to under perform when it shares the same camera sensor with the V30. Maybe hold off on the G7 until the camera is fixed.

As far as V40 is concerned, a third camera means they have to use these small sensor cameras that cannot retain details as well as say the g5 or even pixel. If there is a bump then sensor size is retained, But the leaked images show no camera bump for the V40, It's as flat on the back as the V30

---------- Post added at 06:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

Exactly so i would ignore the anal retentiveness around this subject. You get used to it after time any way.

Not buying a phone because of a notch is nonsense.

Not needing to buy one because the present is perfectly good for a number of years is an altogether different argument.

We've yet to see what ways the notch can be avoided. This push to have end to end glass coverage complicates matters.

Bezels are good.

---------- Post added at 06:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------

The point i'm making is simple. You won't notice this notch after a while.

As for choice that remains to be seen. The notch seems to be the in thing now with many companies scrambling to implement it.

But the trend is end to end glass coverage. I cannot see how you avoid a notch unless you go in for something vivo has done where the ffc either pops out or extends. Now you're adding more moving parts. With only face recognition available to unlock that camera has to extend each and every time you unlock the phone.

A fps is quicker & simpler.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] deepak111:
But the v30's design is perfect, big yet compact and retains a good screen to body ratio. There was no reason for LG to go for the notch and that too with a LCD display.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I think it IS the best of all the 2017 phones and even a couple of the early 2018 phones.

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76584629&postcount=193

I said the "only negative" was the limited bootloader unlock, but as mentioned in the video review above I'll readily admit

selfie camera should have been better and

6GB RAM would have been better.

Plus, I would have loved stereo speakers.

But STILL the best phone of 2017. Yes, Note 8 was close -- and with more RAM and better selfie camera there would have been no contest.

The GUI is not even worth mentioning as I never use stock GUI on a phone -- Nova launcher, my own icon pack and my own wallpaper are one of the first things I change.

As far as updates, now with Oreo LG will give updates at least every 90 days. They have to, to be part of Google's Recommended Enterprise program. Yes, that mostly includes security updates, but they will throw in some firmware improvements also.
