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

Yes. All are happy. No need to waste hard earned money in buying another one in Flipkart or Amazon when this can easily last for 1 more year. Maybe even more if we manage to replace the battery

I'm on my third screen right now and even this one is dying. First had dead pixels, second - blue tint. And now this one turns half the screen pink/green on using the phone for a bit.

I'm 6 months out of warranty so LG obviously said no to any favours.

Vodafone's device insurance plan is fraudulent too. So. Stuck with this till it dies. Definitely my last LG product.

Battery Replacement

Has anyone ever tried to replace their battery for lg v30 from LG service center ? Or do anybody if LG service centers replaces batteries for a price quote ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
I asked about the battery on call to service center, they said it'll be around 1000 rupees or so.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
I just changed it last week...it costed 800rs plus service charge.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vishal570:
Cool [MENTION=221282]sid[/MENTION] . how much time did they take to replace ? .. My back glass is slightly broken at the edge . will that impact battery replacement and is your water resistance still intact ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
It took around half an hour... Not sure about your crack... But water resistance is still intact...

btw...the back glass replacement will cost you around 5k INR.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] trouble.:
What!!!!! That's too expensive bro:eek: I'm from Pakistan and here i can get the back panel around about 1500rs. All can be done 2k with service charges.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
That's quite a lot. Well, compared to my ages old Redmi Note 4g it's ok as this was also quoted as 1500 to fix the charging port, luckily I found the part on Amazon for 250 bucks which I can replace myself. Unfortunately, v30 is way to difficult to repair myself.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vishal570:
I am not worried about back glass crack since i already put on a case . My only worry is with respect to battery replacement whether they're going to replace the battery for the mobile which has a crack on edges of back glass since they have to open the back glass to replace the battery.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mandhir.s.bajwa:
The USB port of my phone has also become very loose and even I think it's time to replace battery. Not even getting half day.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
Yea... That's what...While opening the back...if it breaks...then they would charge you the back glass charges too...and that would cost you more than the battery...

They will definitely warn you before giving in for battery replacement.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
wtf. So if they break it, we'd have to pay :crying:
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
Technically, it's already broken. So, they can't be liable for damages due to the preexisting damage.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Right. Cracked glass is already broken. Needs to be replaced. IP68 is already lost.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vishal570:
I checked with the lg mobile service center here in Marathahalli Bangalore . They told if there is a cracked glass they might have to replace that as well since when removing the back panel for battery replacement it might break . Overall they suggested a cost of 3200 for back glass + 1000 for battery replacement. Do you guys think it's good to still invest in LG V30 since it's already 2 years old and no more software updates rather wait till it dies and switch to another lg next year ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
We will continue to get updates for another year or so.

If you mean another OS upgrade, yeah probably not.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vishal570:
If they can Security updates i might hold on to this for one more year but looks like that is also highly unlikely since after pie update there's no security update yet.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
4.5k is not a bad estimate. I'd say go for it as it will restore your phone to new like condition and then it could be even sold for a decent price if you plan on upgrading in the future as in the current state you won't get any buyers.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
V30 is a Android Enterprise Recommended so it should get security updates every 3 months (ChazzMatt can probably explain better)

but I won't expect same speed as european or US models on indian variant
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vishal570:
I am not worried about reselling actually . My only concern is that This is mobile i use for all of my office work including the android enterprise recommended setup on mobile where lot of apps are my company's and big concern is due to no security updates will it compromise my security because for enterprise recommended mobile security updates are fully needed to keep mobile stable.

What, you think there's going to only be one India H930DS Pie KDZ?

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------

Last few months? Oh, come on. You're exaggerating some.

India Pie KDZ was delivered September 16, 2019. I just checked my dated post in H930DS Pie KDZ thread, when I posted it was available.

That was just two months ago. This is still November.

If nothing comes by January, then start complaining. ;)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
If security updates is your utmost concern then you'd be good with a Pixel or OnePlus. LG will cover you only once in three months for a little while longer.

It makes sense if glass is broken?

Why did you wait so long? You could have flashed it via LG Bridge or LGUP months ago (mid-September 2019) -- downloaded straight from LG servers. Surely you knew it was available... Since you posted here in XDA and the KDZ links have been posted in this very thread several times.

In fact it's now about time for the NEXT Pie update to arrive.

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 PM ----------

After the ota update my phone charging is very slow. What would be the reason?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
As all of us know LG is very slow in software updates. This is even worse for the Indian market.

I recently got my LG V30 usb port repaired. I got to know the following:, most up to date prices-

Charges for USB port including everything 1023

Service charges are around 300-350

If you get your phone opened, they'll charge you around 400 for the tape that holds the pack panel in addition to other repair charges

Display cost-14000

Back panel-4400

Battery: 605

Now the reason for this post: Why I wouldn't recommend LG devices for Indians(unless it's a really good deal).

1. Software updates are slower than other markets.

2. No LG handset has support for Jio VoWifi as of now. Even noob brands like intex are on the list that support Vowifi for Jio. Situation is probably the same for Airtel VoWifi. This tells us about their commitment.

3. Bootloader is not officially unlockable.(We got lucky with unofficial WTF exploit on V30)

4. Volte most likely won't work even if we somehow manage to unlock our future LG phone.

5. The customer service is TERRIBLE(too long rant, more on this in the future maybe).

6. LG did not launch LG G8 or V50. They launched G8s and G8x which are toned down (worse) versions of G8

7. Around half the service centers closed recently in Delhi. So that is NOT a good sign at all. Another issue is LG still shows those centers as actives on their Website.

8. Finding accessories and replacement parts for LG phones is very hard.

On a side note. LG V30 is the best device I've owned, and I'll continue to keep it for a long time. And won't sell it even when I get a new phone. I love my V30 too much ;):D
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yes, we got very lucky! I specifiically waited to buy Open Market US998 V30 and V30+ (which are released MONTHS after carrier versions), as those usually got official bootloader unlock. But then LG never announced those being eligible -- only two European V30 & V30+ models. Turns out LG did add the 64GB V30 Open Market US998 to their database, but never completed the web site configuration. Someone discovered that and posted. I was able to bootloader unlock one Open Market V30 that way, but had to wait for WTF exploit for my daily V30+.

Plus the LG official bootloader unlock does not cover any but those NATIVE models. No Frankenstein/conversions. We are lucky that

ALL V30/V30+/V30S can be bootloader unlocked and rooted

, for over 1.5 years now.

This is so different from two years ago when LG rolled out the H930DS V30+ for India with a very attractive price. It was less expensive in India than almost any other country. I remember some in this thread were skeptical. Many people speculated LG or Amazon (the retailer at the time) was dumping used/refurbished LG V30+ into the India market. Some

people said they could prove it because the previous owner "Joan" was still listed

. :rolleyes:

No, they were new phones. LG was aggressively trying to win the India market, but now they seem to be retreating.

To be true... LG V30 is one awesome phone.... I love it so much...be it the specs or design... But as you faced...I didn't face so many problems as you faced.... That's regarding the service centre...

still broken? easy to fix, with a hot air blower, but this should be fixed by them with no additional costs for you.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
How to fix with air blower?

Yeah it completely broke when I was on my way back home after getting it repaired. I went back. He opened the phone again, cleaned it a little and then heated it and pressed it. It now works like 50% of the time if I don't have a phone case on. With the phone case it works 80% or so times.

I told him to fix it properly, he told me that glue from the previous tape was still there and so phone isn't closing properly.

Then he told me he's telling me this because he's 'honest worker' and he could've put a cut on the fingerprint and shown me that it's damaged. He also said opening he closing the phone could break the screen and back panel and I'd have to pay for it(This was basically a threat, don't complain further or I'll break the phone)

He said I'd have to pay for frame, tape and speaker replacement + labour costs, if I want it properly closed. :(

This is really disappointing considering people have fixed their usb port themselves without such issues while 'Professional' service could only do so much.

This whole thing took about 7 hours or so for me in total(Partially because to cut costs their service centres are in far off places and they opened the centre 1.5 hours after the official opening time :crying:)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lokesh.acm:
Please complain. Send an email to LG. Call and raise your voice. Post your experience about the service center on social media so that others are informed. What a horrible situation. But then again, a lot of repairs center workers are like this. I've come across a few. Sad.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
Yeah I've come across a few too sadly.

Maybe I'll make a video about it on Youtube.

But honestly, even after fighting on call and emails, they'd probably just ask me to visit the service center again where they'll make other excuses.

I don't have time to go to the service center again, get bad service again and set up my phone all over again.

Mi 5

V30

Need your opinion my fellow V30 users. Long exposure photo from my V30 and my mother's Mi5. ISO lowest, shutter highest. Would you say the difference between the photos is because of the camera hardware? Mi5's camera is, according to GSMArena, 16 MP, f/2.0, 1/2.8", 1.12µm. Ours is 16 MP, f/1.6, 30mm, 1/3.1", 1.0µm. I tried using GCam(nightsight & astrophotography port), Camera Pro and Footej Camera. All produced similar results. What am I missing here? I occasionally go out of my city to my village and even there the result is similar.

Not exactly complaining. Just wanted to know how others are getting "clean" long exposures of the nightsky.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mandhir.s.bajwa:

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Arcide:
You absolutely have to? Why? Is there something criticaly wrong with 9?

Of course there is a need for change, nobody sticks to the same phone forever, but is this seriously the only reason you would change the phone for?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Most Android phones only get two major OS updates from the OEM. Google manufactured phones are a little different, and I owned some Google Nexus. However, Google is very skimpy on batteries and they removed the headset jack before anyone except Apple and stupid OnePlus. So, I'm not buying them for that reason and others.

Point is, with LG, Samsung, Motorola, most others, you're not getting a 3rd update from OEM/carrier and everyone knows that going in.

Also, as Android changes (and app versions change), you will need newer hardware. I know some 2013 phones with 2GB RAM trying to run Pie and Android 10 -- but should they?
