[LG G6 Questions and Answers] cory733:
The dev support for this phone exists, but is very very minimal, since only two versions of this phone are bootloader unlockable.

Custom ROMs are available also, but any AOSP rom isn't going to be able to use the stock camera capabilities. This is a problem with most LG phones I believe, and was the same on my G3.

I'm using stock because the custom roms I've seen aren't 100% functional. Also you're not going to have many apps to customize stock like we did with G3 Tweaksbox for example.

For my US997, Unlock and Root was very straightforward, similar to my Nexus 6P, except you have to get an unlock file from LG's website. (as others have said, you must buy the correct model G6)

I bought this phone because it's a quality phone with a great camera, can root, unlock bootloader, headphone jack, perfect size and has an SD card slot which was important to me. But coming from the Nexus 6P and even the G3 before that, the lack of dev support for this phone is very frustrating.

This phone's stock roms won't let you encrypt data while it's rooted, which means if I lose my phone, anyone who knows how to boot into TWRP can access all of my data.

Because we don't have apps like G3 Tweaksbox or anything similar, you can't do basic stuff like disable the loud volume warning with your headphones on. (This is possible btw, but without a guide idk how to do it)

Overall I'm happy with this phone but if I broke it or lost it right now, I'm not sure I'd buy another one.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] siggey:
I love my G6, H870, rooted and xposed. I can change all I want using Gravity box for Oreo, that is listed as not compatible but it works good. Only thing I miss is dev support...

But....

If I have to buy a phone today looking for tomorrow...

I'll choose xiaomi and 845 chipset.... And treble support... Like a mi mix 2s, or if I can't afford it, a mix 2, about 300 euro..

Just my opinion
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] gergev:
Siggey, do you have a recommendation for a phone that works on all 4 carriers (G6 US997 doesn't support Sprint calling), has memory slot and can be rooted with some dev support
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] siggey:
with Sprint you have to have an approved IMEI in order to pair the phone with the SIM ICCID and MIN...so even though the Mi Mix 2 should support Sprint, Sprint won’t allow you to use it unless they whitelist it in the store...which is tough to get I hear. Sprint is different from Verizon...Verizon doesn’t block unapproved phones (except during SIM activation) but Sprint in effect does so.

But I'm in europe and I don't know anything about the usa carriers, so I'm sorry I can't help you.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] gergev:
That all makes sense. Thank you for your reply.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] fegitoli:
Does the G6 have a good camera? Sort of. Front-facing camera is a little bit disappointing, but it's not an issue if you don't take selfies. The two cameras at the back are alright, but you're gonna have to use a custom build of GCam for better results.

Good performance? Overall, yeah. Not much I can say here. The built-in gaming settings allow you to change the resolution of games to favor either performance or graphics, if that's your cup of tea.

In terms of battery life, I can get 4-5 hours SoT using instagram a lot and LTE for the majority of the day with music playing in the background. Good enough for me.

Those other options you said you could afford are probably better, though.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] MDW 100:
I wouldn't recommend it really. LG's quality control is terrible (the fingerprint scanner keeps failing), and their software is always nearly a year late and pretty unstable, aesthetically not to my taste, and doesn't fully support substratum.

Performance, especially in graphics, seems far weaker and unreliable in real world usage than other flagships that have the same chipset. For example, the Google Pixel 2016 can run real racing 3 at default graphics reasonably fluently. G6 on the other hand is almost unplayable at default settings, even at 1080p resolution.

The display however is gorgeous. Blacks look like from an Amoled display, it's reasonably bright and quite saturated. I just wish it was 1080p by design, for performance, brightness and battery gains. I don't notice a drop in visual quality when I use the adb command to change it to 1080p, and that's taking pixel interpolation into account. 1440p is really not necessary, and VR doesn't count because the IPS LCD technology introduces high motion blur in a VR situation compared to amoled.

I continue to love the design of the phone as well, and it's super tough. Drop onto concrete from shoulder height unprotected (oops) gave it no more than a scuff or two. Personally I would have made the top bezel as wide as the bottom bezel but whatever. Just means that 16:9 games and videos are offset to the side which is distracting for me.

TLDR: Don't let that screen to body ratio lure you in. It makes no difference. There are better options for the price these days.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] 4everAnoob:
If buying used (in very good condition), would you still say it is mediocre value for money? Assuming it is at least 25-35% cheaper than retail. And I would be coming from a G2 (running 7.1.2 and running it well).
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] MDW 100:
My opinion of the phone has improved slightly since I wrote this, a factory reset improved its performance and fluidity a fair bit. Personally, right now I would get a Xiaomi mi A2 for $250 which is about how much you can get a used G6 for, just due to that clean software. However, the G6 is not bad for that price. Just make sure you factory reset it after installing all the available updates including oreo. And be prepared for graphics performance significantly weaker than other 821 phones, don't know why.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] fegitoli:
If you intend on playing anything that's more graphically-intense than Minecraft, I suggest you steer away from this phone. Game performance is so sloppy that Cytus II - a 2D game, mind you - can't even run at full speed.

Selfie camera makes you look like a painting. Back cameras are decent from my experience.

Battery life is alright, but you're gonna have to do a lot of weird stuff to make it last a day. Also, my iPhone 5s, which I had laying around since it was released in 2013, can last longer on standby, which says a lot.

In terms of custom rom support, I can't tell you a thing because my variant can't be bootloader unlocked.

I do not recommend this phone. Having had this phone for a year now, I have legitimate grounds to give my opinion on it. Get anything else.

TL;DR: Phone can't play graphically-intense games. Selfie camera sucks. Battery sucks. Don't buy.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] AsItLies:
Cameras suck? Tell me yer kidding plz...

MAIN CAMERA	Dual	13 MP, f/1.8, 30mm, 1/3", 1.12µm, 3-axis OIS, PDAF

13 MP, f/2.4, 12mm, no AF

Features	Dual-LED flash, HDR, panorama

Video	2160p@30fps, 1080p@30/60fps, HDR, 24-bit/192kHz stereo sound rec.

SELFIE CAMERA	Single	5 MP, f/2.2, 18mm

Video	1080p@30fps

The rear has dual cameras, one of them being wide angle 12mm. That's so wide it has a slight fish eye effect. The single front camera is wide angle 18mm, very wide for a front camera. They both take great shots, especially with the GCam ports.

Both cameras on the rear are flat, there is no camera 'bump'. Read any of the original reviews, they rave about the cameras. Shocking to see negative comments about the cameras. For the money, especially today prices, probably one of the best camera setups available.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] MDW 100:
Who said the cameras suck? They're awesome!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] fegitoli:
I am not kidding. I never was, never will be. You can have your opinion, and I'll have mine. Was something lost in translation? If it's me you're referring to, I only said the selfie camera sucks. In my post I said, "The back cameras are decent from my experience."

The selfie camera is not good. At least mine isn't. I don't know if there are any differences between models in different countries. Even in the best of lighting, it still pales in comparison to the G4, which I had before this device.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jshames:
I agree about the selfie camera, but again, its only with the LG cam which overprocesses the image. Gcam fixes the problem completely and produces excellent selfies, almost too detailed-- you can see every pore in your skin LOL
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] AsItLies:
Here's the thing about 'opinions'; some are based more in factual evidence than others, and some are not based in facts at all. So to say someones opinion "you can have yours, I'll have mine" is hiding from "What are the facts?" or "What is the truth?" Not everything in the world is 'just an opinion'.

While the facts are the G4 has a slightly wider aperture than the G6 (f2.0 vs f2.2 - allowing a little more light in), the G4 is not a wide angle lens. Many, including myself, much prefer the wide angle lens, especially for a selfie (and the other people with you) camera.

'Lost in translation'? Not at all, there was nothing to translate. When you don't know what you're talking about, it's obvious.

[YotaPhone] kam1962:
hi does anyone know how to keep the portable wifi hotspot on !!!

I recently was travelling back in my car which had the MOBILE DATA on and TETHERED to my car sat nav for LIVE traffic updates and speed camera locations, but after about 30 mins te PORTABLE WI-FI hotspot switches off???

....so no live updates for the rest of the journey -- approx 2 hours

I don't know if this is something to do with being in a bad mobile network coverage area or a setting within the phone?

android 6.0.1

advanced wi-fi setting - keep wifi on during sleep ON

display sleep after 30mins? - max and don't know if this has any effect

screen will never sleep while charging ON

I have searched the internet but cannot find any relevant help or any apps which could prevent the timeout (lots for screen time out)

thanks for any help

[YotaPhone] rufy93:
I use my Yotaphone as an Internet modem, with the hot-spot running for for a long time (months now) .

I haven't experienced your issue, but use Tasker to turn om WiFi hot-spot every hour or so.
[YotaPhone] kam1962:
Thanks for your reply - will have a look at using tasker (but not sure if you need a rooted phone)
[YotaPhone] rufy93:
No need for root when using Tasker for hot-spot. [emoji846]
[YotaPhone] kam1962:
thanks again - I have downloaded tasker but don't really know where to start - could you provide your profile? task and scene? for the hotspot turn on or point me in some direction

thanks
[YotaPhone] rufy93:
Running on Android 6 and Android 8

# Task

Net > WiFi Tether > On

# Profile

Depends really on your usecase. You could have a timer profile that runs every 15 minutes or so that runs the task above.
[YotaPhone] kam1962:
once again thanks for your prompt reply. I have put the task values in (think that was simple enough)

the profile I set a timer for 5 minutes from now 5 pm to 8 pm because it appears to be switched off around 10 minutes to see if it worked

at 5 pm I got a dialogue box "can modify system settings" tasker - allow modify system settings with the slider button on? & I now have a notification saying no active profiles? after 5 pm - tasker is on in the settings and profile slider switch is on? AND HOTSPOT STILL SWITCHED OFF -GRRRRRR android

don't know what else I can do at the moment?

thanks
[YotaPhone] rufy93:
Start with the task only first.

With the hot-spot off, try running the task itself in Tasker using the play button.

When the task itself is working you can try working on the profile. View attachment 4540951
[YotaPhone] kam1962:
hi

think you got me there. had to change the profile time edit to every 2 minutes (smallest repeat value)because the hotspot was switching off after ten minutes then I would have to wait for a further 5 for tasker to work

notification still says no active profile but guess it's not actually running for long ie only looks/operates at the 2-minute intervals?

once again thank you for your help -- cheers
[YotaPhone] rufy93:
Really weird though that the hot-spot is turning itself off.

Have you checked in the settings that you don't have a timeout?
[YotaPhone] kam1962:
hopefully, settings checked ---

wifi keep on during sleep - always (if applicable?)

display sleep - 30minutes max after activity

cannot see anything else that might apply (nothing in the tethering & portable hotspot section)

I been searching for a low-mid range phone and these are the two that i think could be worth buying in 180$ price tag but i couldn't decide between these two. Mainly i use phone for making calls,text messages and using other few internet apps (mainly messenger and whatsapp) and sometime for taking photos..

Keeping above in mind processor of both phones is ok for me and 3gb ram too.

So it come down to Camera, battery and build quality (as i will be using it for atleast 2 years as a daily driver).

Suggest which one to choose also if you have any other suggestion do tell.

Many many thanks to [MENTION=7019289]DarkJoker360[/MENTION] for keeping s4 mini updated. I loved this rom for its excellent battery life & I'm really missing it. There is an issue with the camera app on the latest 3.8.9 20180812 for serranoltexx build. For some reason it keeps crashing when camera app switches to video mode. After that the camera app refuses to open at all. Have tried everything to work it out. Tried opengapps, Mindgapps and without them as well but the issue is still there. Would you please mind checking it out. I have tried every rom ot there, Lineage 14, Resurrection remix, Aosp extended & many others as well but I found yours with the best battery backup & much more smoother.

I'm currently using the crdroid oreo build but the battery backup is not that good. I was getting around 3-4 hours screen on time on crdroid 3.8.9 but on oreo latest build the backup is down to 2.30-3 hours max.

Could you kind enough to see if the camera issue is solvable on nougat build?
