[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] ForeverZ3RO:
Just wondering if anyone else hates the way 8.1 tints the screen or completely changes the UI color based on how dark/light your wallpapers is?

I wouldn't mind the dark tint so much if it wasn't such a drastic difference going from your home screen to the settings, Google Now or even swiping down and getting white notifications. It clashes very badly, at least in my opinion. Some of the wallpapers even tint the screen an odd color (first two example pics). It's just a weird design choice. Maybe it's just me though. I've never had such a hard time picking a wallpaper... lol

I attached a picture with some examples.

Anyone else care to chime in?

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Lauriso:
This is annoying, especially because of Now Playing album artwork as background feature, because the tint is STILL the wallpaper color! Best solution I've found is to use dark/black backgrounds - then the tint is merely dimming.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Dirk:
Wallpaper colour based Tints are gone in Android P DP4. It's back to a nice, normal, Black Tint throughout.

Thought i'd share the good news.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
I'm not sure if this is Note 8 related, Samsung related, or an Android-wide Google issue, but figured I'd start here.

I have a Verizon branded Note 8 that I'm using on T-Mo. I just bought the device Monday from an individual. I flashed the T-Mobile firmware and everything seemed to be working fine, until I noticed not all my contacts synced from Google. I'd say probably 75% of them synced, but I was missing a large random chunk of them.

I tried everything I read to resolve the issue. Deleted and re-added my Google account. Cleared the contacts app data/cache. Rebooted. Downloaded Contact Sync Fix. Nothing fixed it. I evwn downloaded Google Contacts, and they wouldbt all sync. I checked my Google contacts online and they're all there. If I ADD a contact to my Note 8, it syncs to my Google account.

I checked my S8+ and tried to re-sync my contacts on that device, and it keeps giving the "Sync is having issues..." message. I don't get that message on my Note 8, but obviously it isn't syncing properly.

I did a factory reset. That didn't fix it. I flashed the unlocked firmware, that didn't fix it. I set rhe phone back up, and I noticed issue #2. I suddenly lost the ability to customize my Google search bar. It wasn't a big deal at first. I usually have to wait for the app to update after setting the phone back up, and sometimes have to delete and add the search bar widget back. But no matter what I try, it won't work.

I factory reset again and flashed back to the T-Mo firmware. I didn't restore ANYTHING and set it all up from scratch as a new device. Still those two issues remain. I'm bone stock, not rooted, stock Touchwiz launcher, using all the stock Samsung apps. My work around is all my contacts were synced with my Samsung account, and they synced to my Note 8 just fine, but I want my Google Account contacts to sync properly. The search bar will just stay white I guess.

TL;DR:

1. Google contacts not syncing properly.

2. Google search bar widget no longer customizable.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Your link says page not found, but I finally got it working properly after you responded. I couldn't get it to Sync properly at first. It took me deleting my Google Account, turning off Samsung Contacts Sync, deleting all the contacts from my phone, force stopping the contacts app and clearing it's data. Then I rebooted, added my Google account and let it all Sync again. Low and behold, all my contacts have now synced properly.

My Google search bar widget has still lost its ability to be customised however. Which sucks, because I like a dark theme and it was awesome setting the bar to Black and transparent. :(

I check the offiical LG V30 "Buy Now" page for updates on either Amazon listings or unlocked V30+ listings.

No luck yet with Amazon, but I do see that B&H has a listing for the V30+.

$929.99 with a "coming soon" note. No release date provided.

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

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mejilan:
Ahh, I'm sorry. Seemed thread-worthy. I scanned for a thread, but didn't search for in-thread mentions of the listing.

Still holding out for an unlocked V30+ preorder on Amazon.

But if we start getting close to whatever B&H's ship date winds up being without an Amazon listing going up, I may cave.

My poor 2015 Moto X is not long for this world, I'm afraid.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
B&H Photo $820 price on the 64 GB LG V30 variant was cheaper for me than "$800" Best Buy LG V30 -- (really about $848 here in GA), once you factor in no local taxes and free shipping. That's even before any price matching.

Amazon also charges local tax.

So, probably going to buy from B&H Photo again, for the V30+. Plus they price match.

I still need to call them or email, to get the $20 knocked off.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mejilan:
I'm actually in the NY/NJ area, so B&H will ding me on taxes no matter what.

BB has the open market version? It's not US Cellular's?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
No, it's not. It's the "open market" version which will get bootloader unlock.

LG did the same thing for the LG G6 US997:

U.S.Cellular sold the "carrier" version and B&H Photo, Best Buy, Amazon and other authorized retailers sold "open market" version of the US997, which got bootloader unlock.

Now this is the open market version of the V30+ -- which is available for pre-order. Whereas, U.S. Cellular has been selling their version since October 6.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mejilan:
Right. I want the open market V30+, preferably through Amazon or BB.

For some reason, I thought the BB V30 (not plus) was the US Cellular version.

Good to know it wasn't. Thanks!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] feelfreetoblameme:
Me too, and the sales tax thing is a moot point in Oregon luckily. Hopefully Amazon gets it soon, though the 110 dollars markup just for extra space seems slightly exorbitant. Amazon pricing could be a little lower but who knows. Will have to squeeze some more life out of this Nexus 5!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
B&H Photo will price match. And they actually lowered the V30 initial price by $20 between preorder and actual ship date.

I wouldn't be surprised if V30+ ship price turns out to be $899 or something...

And if Amazon or Best Buy has lower price, they'll match that.

---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 PM ----------

Just pre-ordered the "open market" LG V30+ from B&H Photo.

Also replied to the first order's email for the V30 and asked them for retroactive price match $20 refund, since Best Buy is selling it for $799 (plus tax).

That would be brilliant, hope that is the final price.

Getting closer... Finally the B&H Photo web page for V30+ is updated with specs. As expected includes "QuadPlay Headphones". Still no shipping date...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mejilan:
I guess the surprising price difference is mitigated somewhat by the inclusion of the updated headphones.

I wish there was a ship date. Day by day, my 2015 Moto X Play is degrading more and more. I may just have to buy the regular V30.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] feelfreetoblameme:
I haven't seen anyone review the Quadplay non-B&O earbuds. I should take a look around. I do think the price will come down. I think the Sprint V30+ was working out to $750 from Best Buy if you made the payments at one point during November. Sigh, I miss the Nexus days of getting great specs at a great price. I'm like ChazzMatt where without wireless charging I'm not buying, so the OnePlus and Pixel announcements were quite disappointing. I will say that updating my Nexus 5 to Paranoid Android's Nougat ROM has given it a new lease on life. It's still slow but I think I can afford to wait a little longer (even if I don't want to!).
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mejilan:
Does the LG V30+ not have wireless charging? I thought it did?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Anyone want to take any bets on V30+ release date and when the US998 will be placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list? ;)

1) European H931 released first week of November.

Placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list three weeks later.

2) North America "open market" 64GB US998 V30 released first week of December.

Not yet on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list, but it's not been three weeks yet...

3) North America "open market" 128GB US998 V30+ will be released when? First week in January? LG seems to want to S-T-R-E-T-C-H this whole process out.

When will both North America "open market" variants be placed on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list? By Christmas week or 3 weeks AFTER the V30+ is released? (Remember, took SIX WEEKS for LG to add the G6 US997 to the bootloader unlock list...)

Any predictions?

Sorry if I was unclear, but I was complaining that the OnePlus 5T and both Pixel 2s did not have wireless charging, which the V30 and V30+ do have. I don't often thank Apple for anything, but the inclusion of wireless charging in the new iPhones will make it ubiquitous. Google should never have abandoned it on the Nexus devices.

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 AM ----------

I'm betting you're right! But yes, this has been one long, drawn out process. People are still so used to buying their phones from carriers in the US so unfortunately us open market purchasers will always get the shaft for the foreseeable future. Although most people don't need nor care for open market unlocked phones that don't come with payment plans, so why not put it up for sale? It's obviously being manufactured and available. LG is simply throwing money away because a lot of people (people that don't care about wireless charging for example) have moved on to the Pixel, OnePlus 5T, etc. Who knows, maybe they are making enough from carrier sales, they don't care. Just frustrating to wait.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I know they lost money on me. I wanted TWO LG V30+ (for wife and myself), but was forced to buy at least one V30 before the December 2 deadline for the $400 gift card. I'll still buy a V30+ for the "second" purchase -- but yeah frustrating I couldn't buy two V30+ and get $400 off. But not released yet!

And yeah, I hate people are "settling" for inferior phones just because LG doesn't know how to release a new phone properly! They ANNOUNCED both LG V30 and V30+ end of August. It should have been EVERYWHERE by end of October. We're almost 4 months after the global announcement and they still have not released all the phones to major countries.

So what do you think so far of the phone? Apologies if you've already reviewed your experience elsewhere or were planning to, I can wait if that's the case.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Short version, love it. Using very slim Tudia case. I set it up last Sunday, been using it all this week. Very fast, very smooth.

Battery life is very good.

I keep my display at 70%. Lower than that, and the colors don't seem to pop. I tried it lower, like 60% and I could use it, but I like the overall look at 70%.

Small thing, but the fingerprint sensor is amazing. I barely touch it and it unlocks. Sometimes I accidentally unlock it and lock it back in a split second because it's so sensitive.

There's one email app I use that's annoying because it stays immersed when in the email list and doesn't show the navigation icons at the bottom. I have to force them up. But that's the app, not the phone.

Can't wait for bootloader unlock and root.

Well, the

LG V30+ was released in India today (December 15)

. Well, announced -- will start selling on December 18. 44,900 rupees.

Actually the the LG V30+ is the ONLY LG V30 phone India will get. LG is not even going to bother with the 64GB LG V30... Which is basically what LG should have done for everyone! Just release the LG V30+ as the "LG V30" -- AND at the price they are charging in India. :rolleyes:

44,900 rupees -- which is

about U.S. $700.

What a bargain! I'm paying over $900 for my carrier unlocked LG V30+ and I paid $800 for my carrier unlocked LG V30. Like I said, LG should give everyone that deal. They're selling it through Amazon India. They could sell it here through Amazon for $700!

India has over 1.3 BILLION people. So, after a global announcement back on August 31, LG finally is getting the phone to India over 3.5 months later. Pathetic. Pretty sure this means we won't see the LG V30+ from B&H until first week in January...

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
Any freebies with your offer ? $400 off on something else sorta bribe :D

I find the difference in price a little suspicious. Since its like never, Indian prices can beat american. The V20 was made in india. Maybe the V30 is too, this cuts down on import duty but not by a lot ~$50 less maybe

When i was digging around for difference between the dual sim V20 (H990) and any single sim V20. I learnt the single sim has dual stream wifi (mimo) whereas the dual sim variant only had single stream wifi. However the V30+ (H930DS) being offered in India has

dual stream wifi

OnePlus is big in India, eating into Sammy's profits. It's possible LG decided to take a haircut. Offering amazon only helps to avoid on store margins for additional savings.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
India is just getting the "gift card" price, without the hassle of the gift cards or having to buy TWO devices. $700 price. (Assuming a V30+ costs $900, then X 2 - $400, then divided by two.) In reality, in U.S. the LG V30+ pre-order price is $930, but that may drop by the time actually shipped. B&H Photo had an $830 price initially on the LG V30 for preorder, then dropped to $820 for actual ship price -- and then price matched for me to Best Buy's $800.

As for me, for my carrier unlocked V30 ($800) and V30+($930), I'm getting $400 gift card, yes. With a final average price of $665 for my two phones. (Assuming B&H Photo won't drop the shipping price of the LG V30+ when it releases like they did with the LG V30.) But I really wanted two V30+. I was forced to get the V30 to qualify for the gift card by the December 2 deadline, since LG can't release a phone worldwide in a reasonable amount of time. :rolleyes:

But LG should have released just the V30+ as the "V30", and yes with the headphones. Keep it simple, since the only difference is internal storage and one accessory. (India is getting the B&O headphones by the way, for their $700 V30+.) Whereas

the Samsung Galaxy S8+ is a BIGGER phone than the S8 .

Or the LG G6+ (released MONTHS after the G6) has all the specs LG should have put in the G6 in the first place -- and thus made early adopters feel STUPID.

My point is the rationale for the "+" moniker for the V30+ is very weak. Usually the "+" is reserved for something that makes sense. LG would have been better off making the variant with the increased internal storage as THE phone. Throw in headphones to sweeten the deal. Release it worldwide in less than two months after global announcement.

Win!

Unboxing videos indicate quad play earphones that remind me of the G4's quad beats. Decent pair. No mention whether B&O or not

They have only one plant putting out the V series compared to 4 for the G series

Was not even expecting the v30 to appear in India so maybe they've built a second plant for the V

Didn't the G6+ release in China only ?

only regular G6 in India

The funny thing is India is getting the 128GB version i'd have thought it would be 64GB to and save on asking price.

The plus is to make it more competitive for not much effort in some markets. eg. 8gb ram on the 5T

That we get the plus here suggests the plain V30 didn't offer enough to justify the price. This kind of aggressive pricing is surprising for me, still can't find a catch

The first 2000 customers get a free wireless charging pad. Reading through the trials and tribulations in the wireless charging thread, i'd be surprised if LG are bundling a fast wireless charger, maybe just a regular 5W. Can't find the model they are offering on LG's us webpage so its likely some third party
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
I was relying on

India news articles

saying India was getting the B&O branded version.

G6+ was released to Europe and U.S. besides Asia. It's even one of Amazon's ad-infested phones:

LG G6+ - 128 GB - Unlocked (AT&T/T-Mobile/Verizon) - Black - Prime Exclusive - with Lockscreen Offers & Ads

https://www.amazon.com/LG-G6-Unlocked-Exclusive-Lockscreen/dp/B075TYP6P6

As well a by B&H Photo and other retailers:

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/co...TNUVDe0loaAqAJEALw_wcB&is=REG&m=Y&sku=1368612

It does seem to have all the specs, but I remember checking out the Europe version and it still didn't have Qi wireless. Or did not mention it. Which led me to conclude only the South Korea variant of the LG G6+ had all the specs initially promised (even if implied) for the LG G6. The LG G6+ was the phone LG should have released in early 2017 to compete with the Samsung S8/S8+ and it should have just been called the LG G6. Forget stupid + moniker. Just put all the specs in and release it!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] One Twelve:
no B&O earphones for the indian variant going by a few videos which quite frankly is perfectly ok. The quad plays will fit better than the bulging B&O they offered with the v20. I saw B&O earphones with the UK variant, the Brits are getting stiffed on price at £800. The v20 is going on ebay for 250-300 imported.

Funny thing is these clueless reviewers talk about the dac when opening the earphones box, not realising the dac won't really make a difference with the stock earphones.

The retail price on the box says 60,000 so a decision was made to take off 15,000 at launch. That is one heck of a drop.

Not good since LG didn't have a habit of doing plus versions prior.

Only the american versions have wireless charging. in which case give us a metal back and let the americans have glass.

Read the wireless charging thread here ? not pretty

well, if its ok if you stick to 5W. Want faster then it gets trickier
