[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] atirox:
I'll have to agree with inzimam here. I haven't had any issues with this phone as of yet. It hasn't exhibited any of the characteristics that have been complained about thus far. No lag (at least, no more lag than what is to be expected from a phone), no stuttering, no screen randomly turning off and if it is off I can always get it to turn back on.

As far as the OP is concerned, yeah, if you wanted a phone that was easy to find cases for, you should have gone with an iPhone. Or at the very least, a Samsung. Cases have been and will always be cheap and plentiful for those phones. Everything else, good luck. You are gonna need it.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] sonspot:
I respectfully disagree with both of you, I forgot to mention when in "dark" mode the notification is still white, how ridiculous is that, the software needs cleaning up, at least 3 times this week the second screen turned on when I unlocked the phone, I know for sure I did not have it on before. Today I got another vague update, no info other than it will make the phone work better, really LG.

You're I could've bought pretty much any other phone and found a case at locally not just an Iphone or Samsung, you bringing up 2 other popular brand is a moot point because you can find cases for Moto, Nokia, Sony, HTC, Honor, Huawei easily. Consumers voicing their opinion is the least we can do, we deserve better not just mediocre like what we got from LG.

I'm using the G8X without the dual screen case right now, I have to be honest its not a upgrade over my S9 plus, this have nothing to do with branding, I still have my G6, I'm no fanboy, I have a Android tablet and a Ipad mini, I see things for what they are..

I haven't reached yet, can anyone tell me if we can remap the google assist button, I hated it on my S9 plus I hate it the same on the G8X.

Thinking on your comment regarding the cases, only a id$#t would suggest to buy another phone if I wanted a case to protect my hard earn money that spent on this phone, finding a case was one issue but it shouldn't be one seeing that LG gave a case to other regions. The product should entice others instead companies after companies are dropping LG phones or their accessories, please leave this fanboyism out of this. LG as company could very well be in trouble, their phones are not selling as well as they should be, more and more companies are coming out with Oled panels so Lg and Sony are no longer the only game in town, in a few years LG oled TV will be meh in the marketplace.

LG needs to clean up the software on their phones, better build, stick to the innovation for at least 3 years, oh, the V50 got Android 10 why not the LGX the last phone you released?
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] atirox:
Hey, never said that I was right. Just that I haven't had those issues yet.

I agree with you about the dark mode notifications. I suspect that it has something to do with dark mode not officially being available for Android 9... Coming from the LG V30, I'll take any dark mode I can get though.

Not sure where you live, but where I've lived, unless you have an iPhone or Samsung, your options are to order a case online, or order a case online... The HTC One M8 is the last phone I had where cases were actually stocked somewhere in a decent selection... The HTC 10 had a pathetic offering of one case I found at Bell in Vancouver. The case on that phone was almost like Randy's kid brother Ralphie getting wrapped up by his mother to go to school from the movie A Christmas Story. The V30 had exactly double the number of cases as the HTC 10 did, and both were equally as pathetic. The better case was utterly useless after 3 months as it was falling apart. So while I may be an id#$t for suggesting purchasing another phone, it always seems to be that ic you want a decent case to protect your phone, the answer seems to be iPhone or Samsung cause i can never find anything but the cheap chinese garbage cases that wont protect anything let alone a glass sandwich.

As far as fanboyism goes, you should have seen me when Nokia announced they were gonna be purchased by Microsoft... Or when HTC sold its engineering division to Google... This isn't fanboyism... LG would need to make a product that I don't immediately want to re-skin with a third party launcher before I'd consider being a fanboy of LG. ... You know what? I'd even settle for an Android OS upgrade that doesn't drop almost 24 months since that version of Android launched. (Looking specifically at the Android 9 update for the V30 H933 model.) I don't even want a cleaned up OS... I just want a freaking update!

To be honest, all the good phone makers of years gone by are in financial trouble unless they are Apple or Samsung... Nokia got sold to Microsoft, HTC sold its soul to Google, Motorola sold numerous times only to be acquired by Lenovo, and just like that relationship, the big names that are left are still here because they have massive companies backing them up. They don't have to turn a profit to stay alive... Those who did are no more, or aren't what they used to be. If memory serves correctly, Sony and LG haven't turned a profit in phones in close to 5 years. HTC is all but dead, Nokia is a sliver of what it used to be, and we know what happened with Motorola.

(Edited for clarity)
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Negan:
I'm gonna chime in because I've had ever single G and V series device since the G3 so I'm a big fan of LG devices.

I really tried to love the G8X. I think the price point in the us at least (albeit I'm in Canada) is spot on. The concept is fun and the screen is actually pretty nice. I liked the ui although slightly disappointed with night mode not having dark notifications. That will change with Android 10.

Theme system is still great. Actually lg has the best theme system on the market. I'm not talking about variety or quality but rather ability out of box to theme virtually anything with little restrictions.

I found battery life to be exceptionally good. I am also impressed with the sound quality of the device. It is a very loud device.

The second screen is cool and works very well. It obviously adds a lot of bulk and weight to the device. I found myself not actually using it after about a month. For me at least it just isn't needed. I don't play enough games and it just was more of something to show off to people like a hey look at this. But for my use it was impractical.

Camera is a big disappointment from what I'm used to with LG. I think they could have done better. Especially the front one. Mind you I don't do many selfies at all, but when I tested it I was disappointed.

Fingerprint sensor is absolutely horrible. I tried to pretend it wasn't crap but it really is bad. Slow and doesn't consistently work as many have complained. In the end I had to admit it just sucks. The animation for it was badass though. Having no face unlock is kinda disappointing. Even just regular face unlock would have been fine as it always worked well on other non tof devices.

What really killed me was how for at least Canadian devices for almost 2 months now LG has allowed devices to have broken LTE. November security patch broke LTE and lg simply told users to just not use lte and switch to 3g. I did find a fix and made a thread for it. Mind you my fix breaks voicemail shortcut. It does restore LTE. They still have not addressed this. That is completely unacceptable.

So I made the decision last week to sell my G8X. It pains me to say it but I feel I made the right call. It just isn't good enough. My G8 is just so much better and has better features imo.

I'm still kinda bummed about it but I did what I felt I needed to do to recover my money as best I could before the device that I just couldn't love no matter how hard I tried lost too much value.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] heavyharmonies:
I've had my G8X for about a month now, coming from a V30. Is it a gimmick? Sure... but it's an incredibly useful gimmick. I've had none of the issues the OP refers to. Zero crashes or second screen shutdowns. I find the fingerprint sensor to be only marginally worse than the case-back sensor on the V30, so to me it's a nonissue.

Complaining that without the second screen the G8X isn't all that is IMO a head-scratcher. The only reason to buy the G8X is for the second screen. If you're not going to use that, I don't know why you would buy this phone.

The charging issues I'm not going to address, as I have Qi wireless chargers both at home and my office, so I have yet to even try wired charging.

Do I wish the case front wasn't mirrored and a fingerprint magnet? Yes. Do I wish the front screen was more than a tiny notification screen? Yes. Since the case is a USB-C accessory, my hope is that either LG or third parties develop other second-screen options that improve the functionality and usability of the second screen case. That's the interesting thing about this approach compared to the "folding phones" model: accessory case replacements and improvements can presumably be acquired without having to replace the original phone.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] atirox:
Sad to see you go, But I totally agree with the fingerprint scanner. It's pitiful. Pathetic. Sorry excuse for a fingerprint scanner. As far as LG software goes, well, you know my opinion on that... The worst part about being stuck on the Android 8 update was Bluetooth on the V30 was so beyond buggy it was a freaking joke... I get your frustration with their pathetic software..

Agreed as well. What's keeping me here is I've found the second screen to be useful more than I thought I would, it's supposed to have a Quad DAC (I suspect the ESS Sabre 9218 out of the standard G8, but no one will tell me), and finally, because my pathetic phone carrier wont stock the standard G8.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] kdog350:
Only thing I disagree with is the fingerprint scanner. It's not the best but it's definitely not horrible. Coming from the V30 which worked 10/10 times, the G8X works about 9/10 times. However, I still wish it had a face unlock. It would be nice to have it automatically unlock after opening the second screen.

I use the dual screen case about 50% of the time. Having two screens is super fun and useful but I find myself using it less and picking up my V30 more when I have it attached.

There are a few software hiccups that I do find annoying, mostly when I'm using the gestures so I just stick to the button navigation. Also pulling down the notification shade looks kind of janky so I hope they fix some of the animations.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] sonspot:
I'm trying hard to love this phone but LG software experience is making hard. The fingerprint sensor is a 7/10 for me, battery life is a hit or miss, with the same usage, the phone in the case no dual screen sometimes I will get 6 hours screen time with 30% battery end of day but other times only 3.5 hours screen on with 34% end of day, more of the latter in my experience. As some mentioned the software is not smooth, be it flickering, delay or just not smooth, comfort view keeps turning off for not reason; lately I've been thinking about my S9+, I'm no fanboy I know Samsung had their issues but it was a better experience all around..

Anyhow hope we get android 10 soon and hopefully it fixes some of these issues, sad thing is you can pickup a G8 for around $300 Canadian, like I said if there was no second screen the G8/V50 would be a better buy if you're looking for an LG phone. I going to try a day or 2 without the dual screen case to see if I get a more consistent battery life.

I'm not hating on LG I just wish they would clean up their software before the go the way of BlackBerry. I think in the next week or so I going to post it for sale, just hope I don't lose money on it. I love the concept, idea, just from the wrong company. The LG G8X should've been released with android 10, instead LG is doing the same old thing, I would take a cleaner experience over android 10 but since I'm not getting either from LG I'll just complain and move on lol.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] ATRIXXIRTA:
FYI you can turn on the second screen using the "knock on" or double tap feature.

Some of you that have issues with the screen turning on by itself could just be you accidentally double tapping that screen while handling the phone.

I was also able to find a case for it at The Source.

It's just a basic Pure Gear slim clear case, but the hard case packaging that it came in makes a great storage case for the dual screen when I'm not using it.

I personally love the feel of the phone in the hand being glass all around and not having a camera hump, but it's a slippery unit so a case is pretty necessary.

And the weight of 192 grams makes it feel like a premium device in the hand that could take some abuse (minus broken glass, but that's all phones nowadays).

I was on the fence about keeping the phone when I initially upgraded, and was contemplating returning it for an S10, but I figure the S10/S10+ are going to drop dramatically in price very shortly, whereas I think the G8X will hold it's value longer having the dual case option, and it being less expensive initially.

So far I'm having a good experience, but I may put up for sale or trade for an S10+ in the near future simply because I have zero clue if and when LG will be updating this thing to Android 10, never mind 11....

No way was I going to go for a newer Pixel with their abysmal battery life and no option for an SD card.

Also, anyone who tells me they can tell a difference between the 855/855+/865 I have a bridge to sell you...
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] sonspot:
If you check kijiji, the G8X is selling for less than the S10 or S10+, too late to get rid of it now, you'll lose money. Even sadder is the s9 and S9+ are getting Android 10 updates while the G8x is still in wind. This is my last LG phone, I can't in good conscience support them, I don't think we the consumers are asking for much from a company that claims to produce "flagship" devices.

Like I said, the idea was a good one but everything else is sloppy not on par with a major flagship smartphone.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] sonspot:
I wonder if LG is going to use Covid-19 as a excuse to continue delay of Android 10 update release for the G8X. I'm done with this company, they don't deserve our money.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] waingro808:
Without the 2nd screen, these are going for 200 USD on ebay, which is crazy for a 6 month old phone. I'm thinking about picking one up.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] bh_:
man this guy is a harsh critic. the phone is great. it's mid-range, so expect mid-range at a nice price point. but this thing has got several flagship features that set it it above other devices in this price range, obviously the dual screen, but also headphone jack + quad dac and surround sound, snapdragon 855, SD slot + 128gb built in, excellent cameras, insane battery life, sleek and quality design. I got it so cheap with Sprint (50% off plus free dual screen) that I can't imagine complaining about it, but maybe if you paid full price unlocked it would be different. great phone imo.
[Lenovo Z6 Pro Questions & Answers] xamiakas:
I received a Lenovo Z6 Pro phone on monday with "global rom" which had QCN file messed up. not only that, it has Wlan and modem messed up too. All that could be fixed by using ZUI.com/iunlock website's provided unlock .img file, but for that i need to provide the site with imei and serial numbers.

Problem is - until my phone connects to cellular network and it's imei is registered as active, that site will not acknowledge my imei1.

To do that, first I need a working qcn file. I can rebuild the qcn file with MY imei's but I need a genuine z6 pro qcn and I can't seem to find any to download anywhere o.O

so, please... if any1 knows where to get it or has theirs backed up - would really help a lot!

I also have that effect. One way to make it less visible is using Screen Balance (the app is in the Play Store).

My config: I have it set in Tint (it is in Color Mode that is in the options). Then, on the main page, it is in Fluorescent and in Strenght 5%. I recommend removing battery optimization and blocking it in multitasking, to avoid closing (sometimes it happens anyway).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domdom272:
Hi, I'm looking to try a new stable rom for daily driver.

Revenge is CAF so supposed to be best for Snapdragon like note 3.

But Evolution X looks great and fast too.

Has anyone compared the two eg for battery life, general functionality, gaming etc with Galaxy note 3?

If so any thoughts or opinions?

I'm also tempted by the latest havoc to try out Android 10 based room but assume this would be less stable?

Only got one phone so difficult to keep changing it up to test myself.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Standard reply Nandroid and try them yourself .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domdom272:
Standard? Miserable and unhelpful more like. I'm simply asking if anyone has already done this and has any opinions as it would be very helpful to me and save a lot of time/hassle/stress for me with my only phone (which I already explained in OP).

I'm very time poor/high stress at the moment.

Hopefully some more friendly folk will be along soon to share their experience and put your crap attitude to shame.

As I also already said in my OP if I have to try myself I will but no harm in asking surely?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Negan:
I gotta be honest, you were given a pretty acceptable answer. I don't see why you call it a crap attitude. If anything you were given a good tip about doing a back-up. Since you're a jr memeber he's actually being nice to remind you of that. It's pretty common for new memebers to forget a back-up and then shortly afterwards something goes wrong and said new memeber has a help me thread open.

I get that you want some opinions and you may get some, you may not. But really his advice is the best. Try it out and see and make up your own mind. It's such a subjective thing that what one person likes may not suit someone else at all.

Best of luck.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domdom272:
If you say so, I'm sorry to say I remain unconvinced.

I took it as an F.U. ...but then the written word can be deceptive out of context so if it was genuinely meant to be a friendly and helpful reply then I sincerely apologise.

For my part as a noob in this field I have a great respect for the knowledge and experience in these forums and the amazing work that is done here.

I get that it can test people's patience when questions seem "obvious" or you get yet another "what is best ROM" question but I was simply wondering if people (hopefully people more experienced and knowledgeable than I am so that I can learn something) had already trodden this path and had any opinions which may be helpful or insightful.

With any luck they will be along soon to offer some!
