Not comparing LG to Samsung. I'm stating that Samsung makes a huge profit by selling their phones with Samsung made components (processors, displays and image sensors) outside of the US. Technically speaking, the Exynos variants should be much cheaper as they don't have to purchase parts from other manufacturers but instead, Samsung sells these phones at prices which are sometimes even more than the qualcomm variants.

LG on the other hand are ruining themselves by overpricing phones at launch then dropping prices drastically later on and end up providing minimal software support.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
Yeah. I agree with you on both points.

Anyone here using stock rom with rooted pie or oreo? If so can you check if widevine is L1 or L3 using drm info software.

I recently noticed that I'm no longer being the option to see animals in 3D through Google. It used to work flawless earlier.

So here it goes, Google for any animal, say a Tiger. Under the Google result, under overview tab i used to get option to see the animal in 3d, this is no longer available. It's anyone else facing this issue?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] suyogmh:
No problem here.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] suyogmh:
I read that there are restrictions by streaming platforms placed on higher resolution playback due to COVID-19 lockdown. This may be reason in some cases.

Can anyone suggest good gcam for V30+ stock oreo along with config if present.?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
As far I know Stock Oreo isn't good for Gcams.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] nokia_16:
Stock pie seems to be lagging...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
Yeah LG didn't give a proper Pie update :(

And we still don't have wifi calling update.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] nokia_16:
Even latest G8x has no Wifi Calling option. LG should address .. Usually they are very very slow in update and security patches, but they should at least give necessary option or enable necessary option by default or out of the box. Nowadays wifi calling is an common option.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
yeah.

it's annoying because other region LG v30 have vowifi working from a long time
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
Lol I installed the vowifi apk from the LG page on apkmirror thinking it would work but obviously it did nothing.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
Hehe.

I wonder if LG will ever give it to v30 in India.

I mean it'd make no sense, but its lg we're talking about
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] suyogmh:
I never thought they would give VoLTE support for non Jio operators in India but they did.

With VoWiFi support , I have absolutely no expectation at all.

What I am surprised is that how so called Android Enterprise Recommended phone do not have even security patch updates for 6 months. Sept 2019 was bundled with Pie update , after that nothing.

What's security patch status for global variants of V30/V30+ ?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
i think EU has November

while korean December.

software updates are slow by LG but in India they are much much slower, almost as if they don't care about Indian customers.

for some LG device Android pie came 6 months after it came for other regions. i think that was the v40 or some other device.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] nokia_16:
Which is best for v30 oreo or pie ? Stock or rooted...using lg v30+ H930DS oreo stock.

I am on the fence about buying this phone. I am confused between realme x2 and v30.which camera is better?what about screen ? is ui of lg bearable?Please help me.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] alphaomegainfinity:
Pound for pound, the LG V30+ is a much better quality product than Realme x2. It has a better build quality, better sound, better processor, better qhd display, features like nfc, wireless charging and a good battery life. The only disadvantage is it is obsolete so no more software updates. But the ownership experience is stellar.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] pro68:
does it have dual 4g standby?i am also worried about burn in issue of LG screens?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Don't worry about burn in.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] cmanejar:
Hello, I can't use Aarogya Setu app. It says you can't use this application due to security restrictions (rooted device). Even after keeping it in Magisk Hide. I'm on V30b india version. Please help.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
What version Magisk you using?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] suyogmh:
It doesn't have Dual 4G standby , so no dual VoLTE as well.

This will be main issue along with software update, support against choosing V30+ right now.

Apart from this as pointed out in earlier reply , hardware, features , quality wise Realme X2 just can not match it.

Also with current trend of huge , long phones , you can say V30+ is fairly compact.

Also burn in issues about OLED displays are big hype, I am using OLED phones since 2010 Nokia N8 and never faced such issues. We use phones max 2-3 years so forget about burn in.

It was available for effective price of ₹ 11700-13500 in last flipkart sale. I will say at even 15-16k price its great deal.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] alphaomegainfinity:
Nowadays it is very difficult to find compact flagships. All manufacturers have started producing huge metal and glass slabs which can't be operated by single hand. And LG is also following in their footsteps by increasing their device footprints. I doubt the V60 will be released in India. Even V50 didn't make it here. Plus they are going to water down the G series. Very few options nowadays in the market for us enthusiasts. Thinking of continuing this V30+ till it falls apart.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
Yeah I feel the same way.

Also this is most likely my last LG device. Their service in India is bad and software updates are quite terrible. They gave Pie update so late and even that is a broken crippled version.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] suyogmh:
Trend with large phablets , punch holes notches makes really difficult for people who prefer smaller phones.

V60 is downgrade in many ways, display and over size is huge compared to V30 but resolution is reduced.

Also no telephoto lens as well.

LG is going with stupid thing called 2nd screen. Also they have given Notch on 2nd screen. I just can not understand how they manage to do such blunders.

It doesn't have higher refresh rate. I never thought higher refresh rate would make big difference till I used it on OnePlus 7T and even cheaper Realme , POCO X2.

I bought V30+ in Dec 2017 and it's working well so far.

I hope it carries on for few more months , if it doesn't then I guess there will be hardly any options.

Go to Magisk Hide option from the side menu. Check the app you want to add and then clear data of the app and re-open it. That worked for me.

seems LG v40 got wifi calling update yesterday https://www.xda-developers.com/lg-v...ng-wifi-calling-india-march-security-patches/

hopefully we'll be next :D
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] nokia_16:
Hope v30+ gets too.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] alphaomegainfinity:
We have to literally pray to get each little update and feature. LG needs to be proactive. Or worse I think they do not care any more about the Indian market much like what happened to Sony Mobile and are waiting to get out of here. It feels sad to see giants of yesteryears like Nokia, Samsung, LG, Sony, HTC handing over the smartphone market to Chinese smartphone companies on a platter.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
I love how OnePlus is still providing the latest updates to even the OnePlus 3. Seriously, the OnePlus 8 pro is looking awesome at this point, it's got everything I'm looking for, IP rating, 2k high refresh rate screen (apparently the highest rated for display quality), super fast wireless charging, decently sized battery and awesome software support. I just hope it's not overly priced as they keep getting expensive every year.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lokesh.acm:
It will be expensive and I don't feel like paying that much for OnePlus. IP rating is there and that makes me wanna buy the 8 Pro but I fear that it'll not be as good as the LG phones in terms of build. It'll be 58,000+ INR for sure. But I guess it's worth it for all the specs you get with it.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] suyogmh:
Phone prices have been going up every year. I think over $ 1000 is too much for any phone.

We need to understand that income level, salaries have not increased much at all in same period.

I hope recession, COVID-19 will bring more sense to overall market.

As for myself, I will either get last years flagships like S10, OnePlus 7T, 7 Pro or this year premium mid rangers based on SD765.

5G is useless for at least 1-2 years now so that should not be major factor.

One thing I noted about "official" IP rating is that it is just certification. Most high end phones nowadays have all required hardware in place for IP rating. They just dont want to pay for certification.

My major issue issue is with display holes, notches and I feel until decent under display cameras come or dual screen phones , I will have no options.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] alphaomegainfinity:
Agree with all of you. This Covid19 pandemic is expected to cause a big recession much higher than 2008 subprime crisis. People will be henceforth cautious to visit public places. People will think twice before investing in highly depreciable assets like vehicles, phones, eyc and hopefully these phone manufacturers get a big punch on their faces for pricing their products way out of the affordable range and getting greedy. The margins on flagship phones are eye popping nowadays.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] lokesh.acm:
The IP rating thing. Yes, modern phones are built well that they could definitely handle a splash of water here and there. But with an official IP rating, the phone has to be tightly sealed to withstand higher pressure than a splash of water. I've submerged my phone more than a 100 times to get under water videos (which are great). I ride my bike in the monsoon and take out my phone to click pictures without worrying about my phone. Now I certainly can't do that with a non IP rated phone. Sadly,I dropped my v30 and there is slight crack near the ear piece and I'm scared that phone will die with my kind of use :)

I still have time till July to buy a new one. Let's see how the prices are by then. Mostly, I'll compromise battery life and go for the V40. Hate the notch, but you know. Compromises.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
hehe yeah. I hate big notches too. But v40 around 22000-23000 is not a bad deal imo.

unlike other phones you get a good Pair if headphones in the box as well. At first I wasn't bothered much about having a waterproof phone but now I think its a necessity.

The phone prices are going higher and higher.

also because of gst increase on smartphones the prices went up further.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
The LG Style 3 was recently launched. Basically a v40 with updated cameras. Might wanna wait and see how much that costs in India.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
yeah the plus point is that it launched with Android 10 and has a bigger battery

then problem is that it only has 4gb ram
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] P.K.Shivaram:
Hi,

Can i buy LG V40 at the price point of 23000 in india? at present lockdown, so after that i planned to buy one. Is this the good choice still at 2020? :)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
If your V30 is working perfectly fine (isn't broken or malfunctioning), then stick with v30 as long as you can

But if you don't game much on your phone and are fine with slow updates, then go for v40. It's a good deal!

But if use your phone to play games like pubg a Lot, then it's not a good option
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
So after v40, now G7 has also got the VoWifi update in India.

I think chance of V30 getting any more update in India is very slim. My other device iPhone SE 2016 model has been updated to iOS 13.4 and is expected to receive updates and new software functionalities and support into 2021. That is what support is. I am tempted by new iPhone SE 2020 but it is costlier in India than the starting 399 USD offer in USA

1. Just my personal preference

5. Little to no updates except Oneplus

6. Pathetic after sales service.

7. Technology not refined like Samsung or Apple.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
All your points are untrue except for the first one. There's a good chance that 70% people are using a Chinese phone, I've used as well and had no issues with updates or service. Actually Xiaomi service is really good. Not sure what's this new thing with Indian's hating on China all of a sudden.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] alphaomegainfinity:
Your observations are self contradictory. You claim that more than 70% use Chinese phones yet you are unsure why people suddenly start hating Chinese products. Think abt Oppo, Vivo, Mi, Realme, Nubia, ZTE, Lenovo smartphones and tally with the points I mentioned above. What about Chinese made masks, PPEs and rapid antibody test kits which are failing all over the world in this pandemic. Under these circumstances, are you still willing to rely on Chinese products? The world is going to change dramatically and it is surely going to make an impact on all of our buying habits across all sectors, you like it or not.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
From my experience LG and motorola after sales service is one of the worst. :crying:

Samsung's after sales service is great.

Xiaomi's service is ok.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnerz2000:
It's not contradictory, I'm pointing out the people's contradictions. We have all been using Chinese products all our lives and now suddenly after the virus originated in China, people are hating their products. Dunno about you, but I will not buy products based on which country they originate from, if the product is good I will go for it.

I think in August it will be 3 years old since launch so if we do not get any Security patch update by August then we can say its all over.

Pubg mobile choppy gameplay

Hi, are you facing choppy gameplay issues in pubg mobile?

My internet is fine. I believe snapdragon 835 is capable enough to run pubg at smooth extreme without being choppy. There are no apps running in the background. Please suggest if anyone is aware of a solution.

One plus 5t is not choppy at all so it has to be lg stock rom or something that I am missing.

Please help!
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] alphaomegainfinity:
Yes. Since LG has also moved on , it is high time we should also move on. Why can't mobile manufacturers be like PC manufacturers where we all keep getting Windows 10 updates and patches frequently. Nobody really cares in Android device manufacturers. They just sell their devices, promises the moon and then they pass on horrible software support as acceptable and standard in the industry. In my opinion, software experience and support is equally vital like hardware quality. There are very few manufacturers like Apple, Google, Oneplus, HMD and may be to some extent Samsung who are giving attention to this. It is high time we should vote with our wallets and support those who gives long software support
