Sadly the lg earbuds don't make any difference to the dac. But my Bose qc 20s do. It gets louder and a bit more clear with the dac although I'm not an audio expert. Also the files I'm playing are clearly low quality (aac) so probably not taking full advantage of the dac.

After using for a day,

Screen is good but not like a wow experience of the s7 edge that I earlier had but definitely not bad

Overall speed is much quicker in most tasks vs my oneplus five

All the shortcuts are pretty decent - knock on and others

Haven't fully tried out the camera yet but the wide angle is crazy!

I have used Audio technica ATH-m50X on this phone V30 and I found them to be "good" and not "out of the world" sort of thing which various reviewers were stating. I use the same pair of headphones with my laptop (with a THX sound card installed) and nothing beats it.

P.S: I am not criticizing the audio quality but, the presence of DAC made a little difference to me as opposed to the claimed effect.

Using LG v30+ for two days !!

I got LG v30+ from amazon india. and it got delivered on 19th noon, and from that day im exploring new options and trying out the possibilities.

I brought Black Variant.

PROS:

1. That display - I simply Love it.

2. In - hand feel - not bulky not too thin you will fall for it

3. Rear Camera - Bit of learning curve. But amazing

4. Water Proof

5. Sturdy

6. Call Quality

5. Headphone Jack

6. HIFI DAC

CONS:

1. Front Camera - Really bad - LG should fix in future updates

2. Single Mono Speaker

3. Not able to unlock Indian version LG v30+, so you cannot install Custom Rom and play around. - A big turnoff for me ::eek:

4. LG UI - Personal Preference some may like it.

5. Headphone Jack - If it is in Bottom - Then I won't complain (My Personal Preference)

6. Not a B&O Headset included - unlike in Europe Market.

Seeing the above two frustrated members wait game. I am keeping my OnePlus with excellent software support
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Also no QHD 1440p, besides the aforementioned IP68 and Qi wireless charging. Plus the excellent quad DAC.

One day OnePlus will join the big boys and make an actual premium phone. If OPPO will ever let them. Will OPPO ever let them? If no Oppo phone can do QHD 1440p, IP68, or Qi wireless then no OnePlus phone will ever have "standard" premium specs like that.

Even Apple finally went over 1080p (to 1125p, which is a strange number and not QHD -- but still over the 1080p line) and finally gave their users Qi wireless charging. If Apple can do it, surely an Android OEM can do it -- even one incompetent like OnePlus who shipped a phone without NFC and shipped a phone with the display installed upside down -- which caused a jelly roll effect. :rolleyes:

All premium Androids have had at least 1440p since late 2014. I've had it since my Moto Quark (Droid Turbo/Moto Turbo/Moto Maxx).

I've had Qi wireless charging since 2013, and it's been on Androids since 2012.

IP68/68 has been required for a couple of years now, if you want to be considered a top tier phone.

OnePlus is a tech laggard, so falsely claims to be "flagship" killer. I can name half a dozen phones with specs better than any OnePlus phone.

All LG V30/V30+ will get Oreo, so that's not a worry.

Sent via open market LG US998 V30/V30+
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayaskant12:
Yes true.

1440p screen is good to have but I am more happy with better battery life than my prior S8+ and note8

Ip68 is absolutely necessary for peace of mind

Wireless charging in present scenario useless. Phone gets so much more warm/hot and slower than usual charging!

Quad DAC yeah good to have but am no audiophile.

Priority is Camera :(
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] djpeesh:
The v30 camera is excellent although I think the camera on the oreo rom is a bit of a mess with the AI features and I've had it crap out on me once where it didn't take the picture.

Battery life is excellent and the audio quality is well known.

I actually use wireless charging every night. The battery charges slower and the phone doesnt get hot. Once the phone is fully charged, the charger goes off on its own. (I use the free wireless charger that LG was offering at launch)
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayaskant12:
Is your v30 imported? Oreo has not come to Indian V30 right?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] demonknight:
Don't forget how they have consistently hiked up their prices every year. Used to be at 20k odd now it's 38k! The new one should cross 40k in my opinion. They have built up a good brand name and are now capitalizing on it. Good for them. But at that price point so many better options to pick up.

And no SD card slot either.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayaskant12:
Bro I change phones every 2 months so why would I defend any company?

I just want your opinion regarding camera.

Rest I will buy according to personal requirements. Every one has own subjective opinion and I usually don't bash anyone for that coz I may be on that camp tomorrow.

Hope u understand. Even for 38k it's worth. Am getting resale value of 32k or direct exachnage with V30+.

That's the reason I asked here.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
You can get Oreo on your H930DS right now if you want. Indian users have had it for over 10 days now.

You just install the Open EU H930 Oreo KDZ. You even now have the choice of the Hong Kong H930 DS Oreo KDZ if you want. Both are down in Development.

Lots of H930DS users first installed the Open EU H930 Oreo KDZ and are now switching to the Hong Kong H930 DS KDZ, as it handles dual SIM better.

---------- Post added at 06:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:57 AM ----------

They are only frustrated because they don't want to install Oreo right now. Many Indian users have had it for over 10 days now.

I will "never settle"for subpar specs OnePlus delivers. OnePlus tries to pretend they play in the same league as Samsung and LG but they don't. I'm not a Samsung fan either -- but they do deliver top tier specs. LG also has, with the LG V30 series. They are back at the top. The LG V30 was the best phone of 2017. The 2017 Samsung Note was probably 2nd best. The new Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+ with the new Snapdragon would only be the real competition, but one is too large and the other too small -- so the V30/V30+ with the new AI features, quad DAC and just the right size would still be what I recommend until the V40 comes out.

All those I just mentioned -- the LG and Samsungs -- ALL have IP68, QHD 1440p OLED, Qi wireless charging.

OnePlus WISHES they could make a phone that good. Oppo their master won't let them.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ayaskant12:
Thanks very well explained. Whatever said and done I admire OnePlus to be doing more practical things right now

My Note 8 days were filled with anxious moments. I would start doing something minimally intensive and the battery counter would start dropping faster even with battery saving mode and screen reduced to HD mode. Same with S8+.

After few months it would 100 pc lag. No doubt about it and sudden battery drainage with so many background process active in Samsung.

Samsung Pay is wonderful though.

LG G2 was a lovely device but screen died with Ghost touches.

But even LG UI sucks

Forgot about the lag part though. It's long time now.

But coming to OnePlus this thing flies. This things battery never dies in a day. This thing charges in a flash. Fast charging ka baap.

If LG battery is as good then am buying today itself but I doubt it will be.

Don't justification for LG.

We're customers, we have the right to be treated fairly. LG is not only sell smartphone on Korea, they sell them on the world. And LG is not only sell devices, they sell android smartphone.

Customers is not experts, customers can not flash firmware, customers is simple are user, lots user unknow KDZ what is mean?.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Sure. It's just the India V30 phone was last launched and so will probably be the last to get KDZ. Yet, right now you have choice to flash two other Oreo KDZ that will give you Oreo.

Your decision.

Neither US998 nor T-Mobile H932 has Oreo yet, and they launched MONTHS BEFORE India H930DS. But Verizon users who have the US998 are able to flash the VERIZON Oreo KDZ over US998 and have Oreo right now. They don't have to wait, and guess what? Now their Verizon voice mail works, whereas it didn't with US998 Nougat.

I don't have Oreo yet on my US998 and my phone launched well before the India variant. Nor does the T-Mobile V30/V30+. But I don't use Verizon (I have AT&T), so I'm not going to flash the VERIZON Oreo KDZ on my US998.

Whereas you have a choice to get Oreo right now, but T-Mobile users don't.

Why the big fuss over Oreo? Your focus should be on getting Android security patches regularly. I would be happy long as that keeps happening.

When did the v30 launch in India? When did the s8s and note8s launch in India and when did they get Oreo?

Be patient and don't let these things distract you from enjoying the phone :)

Exactly! I had 2 Nexus previously, apart from bragging that I had the latest Android and some UI changes, it was business as usual.

Since it's a V 30+ UI changes will be as per LG and what Oreo will bring some performance improvement in the background, Which I can also be the other way round :laugh:

Bought the LG used for a day.

Camera is not as good.

Installed Google HDR app and camera is much better now. In oneplus 5t this Google camera didn't have any appreciable effect but in LG it's extremely good for low light pics.

Couldn't wait for Oreo so updated to Hong Kong Rom/KDZ

Camera bright light mode with pixel binning world great, really great for low light. But you can't activate it manually, only when it detects low light.

BUT 2 issues here

1. There is no built in parallel apps settings in Oreo build

2. Ram management is extremely poor. 3.7 gb used up. Can't even keep 2 apps in memory.

Really a deal breaker in 2018!!

Oneplus 5t used to keep 30 apps in memory without battery drain!!

Ridiculous LG. This is final build so I don't expect any scope for improvement from LG.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] demonknight:

How do I downgrade from HK 8.0 to Indian official 7.1.2??
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] mandhir.s.bajwa:
Help, I'm stuck

OK, so here is the issue:

My Indian LG V30+ works fine, have no complaints whatsoever. but I have issue getting it detected by LG Bridge app. it says USB device not connected. Although the phone is connected fine and I can also access the files through the windows explorer. also I was trying to use ADB, and I've done the installation and everything. it detects the phone as well but says unauthorised.

I have tried everything now, uninstalling USB drivers, installing fresh USB and LG drivers, installing ADB again, and few other things.

USB debugging is enabled. changed 2 USB cables. original and another from One plus.

Still I can't get ADB to work and neither can LG bridge reads my phone.

Windows explorer detects the phone, I can open the folders, copy paste data . can't seem to understand whats happening.

Though I was trying all this because of XDA's new gesture app.

Its the same process. Flash indian firmware the same way you did HK. People have successfully come back to Nougat from HK Oreo.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sid@developer:
Finally....fed up with LG...going to flash HK oreo...

Any other disadvantages other than Jio Volte ? Beacuse I don't use Jio...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Funkym0nkey:
None of carrier specific tweaks and things will work on non indian firmware. This includes Airtel VoLTE too and not just jio. Also Airtel and Vodafone carrier aggregation will not work. This has been working in my area for last few months and started working on V30 after the last update our phone received.

Frankly, just stick to Indian firmware for now if you want faster internet and trouble free calling experience. We did try and flash my cousin's V30 to HK as he is just a student and does not depend on his phone for critical job related communication like me and faced incoming call issues even on airtel. The caller will get the message that phone is switched off when everything is working fine on phone.

Sadly not enough people complain about the things like timely OS and security updates to the phones, so LG India does not care it seems. Almost every other region now has Oreo, we dont.
