[LG G8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Some_dude36:
Hi , I was wondering why you choose to keep your bootloaders locked . It really seems like LG doesn't really care about its mobile line . Asus recently sent bootloader unlock and kernel source to developers at XDAdevelopers.com because they know phones that can be rooted and use custom software have HUGE cult followings. And LG ??? You just dont care ? The v350ULM was a great phone . Probably the most underrated device in modern history because you give absolutely no support to developers. At XDAdevelopers that device didnt even have a forum because there was so little support . Now jerryrigeverything on youtube who was breaking down one of your devices finds permanent adhesive under the battery ? Whys that ? So when the battery dies you're forced to buy a new phone ? .

i MEAN HONESTLY YOUR DEVICES ARE SO UNDERRATED . They with proper development have the potential to rival samsung or any other . But it seems like you just dont care about your mobile line . I right now want to buy the v350ULM but why ? I hear it has pretty abysmal battery life . which is probably just a stock app but since this device cant be rooted no one really has the interest in finding out because stock apps cant be removed without root level permission . You want to run the industry ? Why not doing something NO COMPANY IS DOING in2019 and advocate for your customers.

Dream phone . USER REPLACEABLE BATTERY ( most of us are not scuba divers and phones lasted pretty long before sealed ip68 phones. I had my galaxy note 4 since 2012 and just broke it when i dropped it and the screen cracked ) 3.5mm headphone jack ( which you are on top of your audio game ill give you that , which is primarily why I want an LG device.) 5000mAh battery MicroSD support And most important MAKE THE BOOTLOADER UNLOCKABLE AND DISTRIBUTE THE KERNEL SOURCE Make that phone and youd run the industry . Serious . not saying give up the rest of your line . But , youd have a phone with everything everyone wants and no one else is making . You'd have a cult following the likes of the rocky horror picture show in the 80s . I just dont get it . Manufactures seem to in 2019 give the finger to their customers and pretty much say " YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH , YOULL BUY WHAT WE WANT TO MAKE YOU AND YOULL PAY 1000.00 USD FOR IT !!! " Id pay a grand happily for a device I could replace the parts that degrade rapidly . like the battery .. But if not , if you really dont care about us your customers. , why not atleast allow the bootloader to be unlocked and distribute the kernel source ?

The v35 could have been a very cool device . All LG mobile devices could have been so epic . But theyre just ok because of the lack of development support and practical longevity support . Im never going to use a phone as a professional photography device on the surface of earth nor underwater . Most people would agree. How bout making the device practical for everyday life , user improvement via development and not build in 2-3 year obsolescence. I have a junk iphone 6 , I want a new phone really bad . But cant justify patronizing companies that openly subjugate me by built in obsolescence . WE WANT TO BUY YOUR PRODUCTS , help me help you .

I wonder if there will be any response . I wonder if there is what it will be . I wonder why most modern phone manufacturers shun customer feedback and replace device requests with gimmic crap like making a claw with your hand in front of the device and rotating in an awkward manner to adjust the volume .

Thats gimmick CRAP

user replaceable battery and bootloader unlock and kernel source with what you already present and youll have a customer loyalty base the likes of which hasnt been seen since 2012.
