Guys, what is the rough offline price for a V30? Need a new phone for my dad under 30k.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
You can get it for 30k... Try some bargaining at local shops...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] bhairavp:
Thanks. Will go talk to them and bargain.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] suyogmh:
You can get it upto 28k also if you check in LG shops and bargain hard. But better to go with POCO F1 or Zenfone 5Z which are below 25k.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
But V30 has better display resolution (1440p QHD), better camera, better premium features (IP68, Qi wireless charging, Quad DAC, etc.)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mukeshp7867:

It will be new year 2019 in next few days and LG V30+ still has Aug Security Patch and no support for VoLTE of non Jio operators in India (Airtel,Vodafone,IDEA).

Does Google or LG actually take Android Enterprise Recommended certification seriously?

I have observed few issues with Apps freezing as I used phone for navigation a lot in last few days. Multi-window, Picture-in-Picture was really buggy, phone heated like crazy. I mostly used Redmi Note 5 Pro for navigation and haven't faced similar problems.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
It's not all V30+ which have not received updates, but it is all H93DS (for all regions/countries) which have not received updates since August.

Also, all US998 V30/V30+ is still on September update, which is also over the 90 days.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] suyogmh:
I don't think Android Enterprise Recommended certification is provided product variant wise.

LG has been pathetic with updates. Few months back I read about their announcement regarding setting up center in Korea for exactly dealing with slow updates issue.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
Since it's not variant wise I guess LG is using that loophole to its full potential. But, they can't get away with it for too long, the pie update may be close, I'd give it like 2-3 months.

I wonder how is update situation with other LG phones released after V30? G7, V35, V40 ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
Same as v30.... G7 ThinQ...Is scheduled to get Pie update by Jan 19.... And V40 has not even got a timeline
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] suyogmh:
Jan 19 is almost half gone, are you sure about that or is it June 19?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
For G7, they said... January 2019...Maybe by the end of the month....
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Where are the hearing this January 19 stuff? There's no way G7 will get Pie by January 19 -- except maybe the Korean carrier variants. Then months later, other G7 will get Pie.

V30 will get Pie by end of 2nd quarter 2019, just like Oreo last year.

It's what I've said all along since last August 2018. But LG is never going to announce that kind of timeline publicly because sounds so far away. So they stay silent.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sankhauaa:

Airtel recently switch 900mhz to 4g. Now due to no airtel volte support, i cant talk to anyone coz i get only 900mhz signal at my home. :(
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] suyogmh:
I had raised issue of no LG phones supporting VoLTE from AVOID (Airtel, Vodafone, IDEA) Group of Operators in India since June 2018. Initially they simply said that AVOID group has not officially launched VoLTE and only JIO is having VoLTE which we support.

Later I got call from LG service center and they asked me to visit them to demonstrate how Airtel, Vodafone VoLTE is working in very cheap Xiaomi Redmi 5A and NOT working with top end LG V30+. Though they relectant to admit , proof was very clear.

They started blaming it on Operators which may be partially correct. I thought Oreo update will also include VoLTE support but that didn't happen.

Even their G7 Thinq and V40 Thinq are NOT supporting it.

But few months back surprisingly I found 2 LG phones shown as VoLTE supported by Vodafone. Q7, Q Stylus.

Now as you said with Airtel moving to 900 Mhz , you simply can't connect to their network. But are they going 900 Mhz with VoLTE only mode ? Or They still have legacy 2G,3G support still and V30+ doesn't support those also?

I am curious to know details.

I am not very optimistic but if more people complain about this to LG or highlight on social media then they may bring update to solve this. BTW , in India so called Tech reviews, youtubers never ever mention these things. I have written to few of them and no reply at all.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ankit360:
In mumbai airtel has 5mhz block of 900 which previously used for 3g. Now they shifted it to 4g so i get 4g icon and data working. They still provide 3g at 2100mhz and 2g at 1800mhz but due to poor coverage, i m not able to connect both of this 2g, 3g band.

just a quick tip regarding a lg v30. if you are installing any third party launcher you will be still be able to double tap to lock the screen. but in order to do that you have to double click on top notification area to lock the device.

Right, up in the "status bar" section.

Wow, so called Flagship phone without Security update for more than 6 months.

I sometimes wonder how they manage to be so lame.

Despite announcement of so called "Software Upgrade Center", things are same with LG.

Forget about Software or Security Updates , basic things like compatibility with newer technology from Operators is missing like VoLTE.

Even LG V40 Thinq which launched last week is missing support for VoLTE in India for Airtel, Vodafone, IDEA.

Not an answer to your issue but, I've never felt the need or advantages of HDR, I don't even notice which shows/movies are HDR and which aren't on Netflix. BTW, I pay 850 for that, why 1000 for you?

netflix for lg v30

netflix has three packages in india.

500 sd quality with only one screen

850 Hd quality with two screen watching

1000 HDR quality with four screen watching (four people can watch netflix in different devices at same time)

netflix has lot of hdr movies and tv series. if you are in a 1000 rs pack with netflix which is also called tier 3 you can see HDR symbol below the movie name which supports HDR.

but you see problem is we cant enjoy that in our lg v30 as videos turned out to be dimmed and dark, i really wish lg and netflix work together and fix this issue. end of the day we consumers who own the lg v30 suffers

Hello All.

LG V30 was 25k in India and i just bought.

I really like the feel of the phone, battery life, etc.

When i was trying long exposure shots, iso 50/100 & Shutter-30s, i noticed that the image is bright only in the center and the rest of the frame is comparatively dark. I took similar photo with my Mi 5 and that came out evenly exposed(attached in google drive link)

I tried RAW, set focus to infinity/autofocus, 20s exposure, all come out the same.

Normal auto shots come out very well and i am happy with the device.

Here is the link. Do let me what your thoughts are.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
That's the same for me as well on long exposure. What's your hardware version in about phone?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lokesh.acm:
It's H930DS

On Oreo with September security patch.

I see online some people have got some really great pictures so I was thinking if it's a hardware defect.. But that didn't make sense to me cause auto mode is great.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
Maybe someone else can help on this regard coz I don't really shoot long exposure on my phone.

Having same model and same issues..center is brighter ( i figured out when shooting stars with iso 50 shutter speed 30)..and also noticing lense flare while focusing brighter objects like candle..sun..others
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] drone991:
This is an issue with the app. I'd suggest using a third party app for manual shots. This may or may not be fixed in the next update(whenever that is released!)

---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

Lens flare is common on this device if the phone is at an angle to the light source. Even if an object is really close to the camera in dark or you shoot a candle or lamp in the dark, the camera will show a purple flare around the edges of the light source. This is because the camera on the V30 is more susceptible to IR light. This doesn't happen with most devices. But we're stuck with it as there isn't really a fix for this.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lokesh.acm:
[MENTION=5551757]drone991[/MENTION] thank you. Would you kindly suggest an app for 30s exposure if possible?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] JEEVAMYIL:
Yes bro im aware of that ir light..but it doesn't produce satisfactory results if you look at the image it will be visible
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] drone991:
I personally use Footej Camera. It's free to use but the highest image quality and few other features are locked in the free version. You can still however play around with shutter speed/ISO in the free version. I'd suggest getting the premium version since it's just ₹50 so very cheap and totally worth it.

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

There isn't really any fix for this.. You can move around to see the angle from where you get the least/no glare. But that's the best you can do to deal with it. Also make sure that there's no protective plastic covering/glass protector or smudges on the camera lens. Even if the camera lens is a little bit dirty it'll amplify the glare.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lokesh.acm:
[MENTION=5551757]drone991[/MENTION] thank you. I used another app and the issue has been resolved. Now I can peacefully use the phone.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lokesh.acm:
Oh well. Screw it then. A great phone though. Thanks man.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Usually the uneven grey issue happens at lower brightness, like less than 30%. At higher brightness it's normally not noticeable -- unless you do have a bad display.

OLED displays inherently have unevenness issues at very low bright levels, while LCD doesn't. But OLED has more vibrant colors and battery saving.

Google "fixed" their PIXEL 2 XL low brightness level (same display panel as this LG V30) by pushing a software update that LIMITED how low you can dim the brightness. Their zero percent is now what used to be 30%. So, Pixel 2 XL 15% is REALLY the V30 45%.

The Pixel 2 XL (left) compared to the LG V30 (right). Both phones displaying a solid gray image at the "same" brightness setting.

LG lets you go much darker if you wish. And there are some LG V30 panels which can go very dark and have no unevenness whatsoever. But unevenness at very low brightness levels is not considered a return-eligible flaw.

It will take a long long time for V30 to get the pie update.

What's infuriating is that LG is giving at least security updates in USA and not in India.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Redline:
Like tech_infinity said, LG hasn't abandoned the V30.

Just the other day (and today on another variant), someone got a security update for this month on /r/v30, you hear the same stories on the v20 subreddit.

There's KDZs on lg-firmwares.com for V30 variants that are less than a month old. I don't know what variant specifically the Indian users have, but it'd be worth checking there for what the latest is.

Link (replace 'h930ds' witih your variant): https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h930ds-firmwares/#tab=firmwares

The security updates are still coming, but it's unsure with feature updates.

I don't know if stock users will ever get Pie, with Android Q just around the corner, that'll be 2 major versions behind if the V30 doesn't get pie.
