My dialer info.. is this different than yours? I know I don't have the Google dialer because that's the one I have in my 6t, and this is definitely not it. I'm curious if Verizon changed that
[LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review] Ryano89:
Oops forgot the screenshot
[LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review] Mr_Mooncatt:
This is what I get for mine.
[LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review] Ryano89:
Yep.. that's the Google dialer alright.. I used to have Verizon and they were always making weird changes. I don't mind that dialer... But it's weird that we don't have the same one
[LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review] Mr_Mooncatt:
Ok, I'm a dunce. I checked and found the contacts app hidden from my app drawer in Nova. I thought it and the dialer icon both went to the same app but to different tabs within it. I didn't realize it was LG's dialer and had hidden it thinking it was an extra/redundant app icon. I try to keep my app drawer to 2-3 pages and hide a lot of stuff like that.
[LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review] lendawg:
I'm exactly the opposite. I swore off lg after I had the v20. For me the camera was terrible and battery life was crap and the phone was slow af. When I saw the reviews for this phone I was almost certain this was the phone for me so I asked some questions on here and played with one in store and that sealed the deal. I've had it since yesterday with almost 21 hours off charger I have 2hr 23min screen time and I'm still at 78 percent battery! That is world's apart from my last phone the 7t pro McLaren. The camera is excellent too and the software is actually much better then it used to be. I'm enjoying the ux. If lg keeps up this good work I will stay with them in the future. Oh and did I mention how damn good the phone speakers sound? Like woah! I'm actually excited already to see what they have in store for the v70!

Oh and one more thing....I really don't notice the refresh rate is only 60hz and for 1080p this screen is colorful and crisp. Lg hit this one out of the park man this phone is bad ass!

Another reason I love the phone.
[LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review] mke1:
My prior is LG V20 and I love it. Tried ATT version of V60. Immediately, I could "sense" that this new phone is SLOW for interactions. Confused. The V20 was quick/fast. This V60 is just plaiin slow! First day, it went into an infinite ATT loop! Several reboots. Firefox and chrome just lock up and dont even work.. Is it because this is an ATT version with bloat ware! Never would I buy a ATT version again.. I didn't realize how the bloatware slows down the phone! Same brand: LG. V60 V20 - how can V20 be better? (except for cameras etc.. I am talking basic browser use)
[LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review] HD2FORNICK:
Really? Wow. I'm on AT&T and my V60 blows my older V20 and V30 away.
[LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review] Mejilan:
Yup. My V60 destroys my last phone (a V30+). Hands down, no contest.
[LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review] Maleko48:
Such an underrated phone and a refreshing leap OFF of the Samsung bandwagon, AND for a great price! :D

Hi Fi Audio Quality

I'm using Hi Res audio files from Qobuz and Amazon HD and using Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro headphones.

My bebchmark is my HI FI system which is streamer, amplification and speakers over £5k in value and I am blown away by the V60 Quad DAC.

Great bass control smooth sound and reasonable sound stage depth. Can follow each instrument.

Tracks tested with Van Morrison Moon Dance 24 bit / 96 kHz. And Emmylou Harris Wayfaring Stanger CD quality.
[LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review] babymatteo:
I've had the LG V60 for about 3 months now. I gotta say, the V60 is hands down the worst phone LG has ever made. This is coming from a long time fan of LG phones dating back to the LG G2X, LG Optimus G, Nexus 4, LGOG Pro, Nexus 5x, G2, G4, G5, V20....I'm on my third V60. First one had USB port issues and screen hiccups and freezing here and there. 2nd V60 had a bad digitizer. The phone was only useable for only 5mins before the screen went crazy glitching. And now my third has the same screen freezing and hiccups that my 1st one had. This is all within 3 months of ownership. I'm about just had it with the v60. I really wanted to like this phone but all the issues it has make it unusable.

(V)ery Happy with the V-series

I'd been a Nexus/Pixel user since the Galaxy Nexus. I jumped on every new release and was very happy overall. I fiddled with custom ROMS every chance I had. My original draw to the Galaxy Nexus was a direct-from-Google experience, the fastest updates and great support from Google. I like big screens, so when the Pixel line was intro'd, the XL was the way to go for me. Everything was great - until the 4XL. Gave it just under 30 days, then it got sent back to Google.

I was already on the "new phone" high - I NEEDED a new phone. I happened to check the Best Buy ad, and the unlocked V40 @ $269 caught my eye. It was still listed at $749 everywhere else, so I took a leap and never looked back. The Quad DAC blew my mind. To me, BT was always a convenience thing - if I was listening to music with 6' of my phone, I was plugged in. Better still, if I was sitting at my desk or listening in bed I'd have my headphones plugged into a small headphone amp. (a completely analog Genalex 12AU7 tube-based amp)

I loved that V40. I'm on T-Mobile, and when Verizon had the V50 exclusively, I briefly thought about making the switch just to get the V50 - that's how much I loved the V40. But I also love getting a new phone and all the other "newness" that comes along with every Android release.

Please excuse my long intro on the topic, but when T-Mobile ran the BOGO offer on the V60, I pounced.

Simply stated, I love the V60. I've even started to use the 2nd screen on a daily basis. It seemed redundant and too bulky at first, so I took the 2nd screen off, then promptly lost it. I let a week pass before I actually *looked* for it, and ever since I found it (it was hiding in plain sight), I haven't taken it off.

As with anything, there's always "some" compromise, but for my needs, the V60 does everything very well. And if that weren't enough, it even plays "nice" with my 2-year old Kenwood aftermarket head-unit with wireless AA built-in!:)
[LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review] kaluna00:
Didn't want to repeat your whole quote, but thank you for the great and detailed write up. I currently have the v20 and I'm having a hard time letting it go also. Removable battery, second screen, nice form factor, root, etc.

Have you found a good replacement or similar app for the second screen? (not the dual screen).. I use my 'quick contacts' and 'shorcuts' on the second screen regularly.

How about no root ad blocking? I would miss Boat Browser also as it is no longer supported in the app store.

Thanks again!
[LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review] Mr_Mooncatt:
I mostly use the quick setting tiles now, and have a navigation button (I don't use gesture control) to drop the notification bar to access them. It's not as intuitive as the V20's second screen, but works for my needs. Others have installed a floating bar modeled after one of the other V-series phones that gives a lot of that functionality back, but I only need the quick settings and the constant floating side bar is a distraction.

I use Ad Guard, the version downloaded direct from their site.
[LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review] kaluna00:
Have you noticed a large increase in speed or performance with 5G? I am on Verizon.
[LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review] Mr_Mooncatt:
I'm on the bare bones unlimited plan, so I only have access to the new nationwide low band 5G. I'm also not in an area to use it often until they expand more. I saw the 5G logo pop up the first time today and here's my comparative results in the screenshot. The top two were on 4G LTE and the bottom two were 5G. I did the test without moving and only switched my network to LTE/CDMA to get off the 5G connection.

Speeds are a bit better, especially upload speeds. Nothing to write home about, and I've seen a lot of other Verizon members reporting slower than 4G LTE speeds while on low band 5G. So at best, it's a wash. I did notice that ping was better on 4G, but jitter was better on 5G. Long story short, the average user isn't likely to notice a difference in real world experience.

As for the UW 5G, I have no real interest in it. I can stream whatever I want, usually in HD (despite the plan being rated for 480p), so having those super fast UW speeds would do absolutely nothing for me. They advertise it for free, but it's really an extra $10 for me to move to a plan that offers it, so I'm not going to spend the money on something I wouldn't benefit from. And that's not even accounting for the absence of any UW towers where I am.
[LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review] kaluna00:
Thanks for the review. I heard they just pushed Nationwide 5G in the last week or two. So that makes sense.

Again. Much appreciated! [MENTION=10125540]Mr_Mooncatt[/MENTION]

Oh yes. One more question. Are you still able to use manual mode on the camera? For long exposure night shots etc.?
[LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review] Judge-Fredd:
Hello,

comin from a V20 that I bought 4 years ago and still have fully functionnal. I bought the European version of the V60 in a 256 Gb storage version with double screen. I'v added a 512 Gb xd card so I haveplenty of storage ;-)

The V60 is way faster than my V20 in every situation (starting up, locking GPS, launching apps etc.) never encounter a lag of any sort. I kinda preferred the fingerprint sensor on the back of the V20 which was more intuitive and no brainer to use, I also preferred the lenght to width ratio of the V20 and I find the V60 heavy when used standalone. I found back two things I like and which are the main reasons I stick to LG : Quad DAC and headphones jack.

The battery life is incredible (2 days for me on average). I love the Oled display (I didn't have on the V20) it's neat and I don't feel I would need more resolution. Photos are better but the photo app isn't as simple to use as on the V20, especially for wide selfies.

I use Smart Launcher 5 cause I love the simplicity and fast access to anything this launcher gives you, plus it's rather light in ressources use. Plus they have an oled theme that I have customized so I have a plain black background on my main screen. I have installed a real file explorer cause I don't like Google files, Swiftkey keyboard cause I have never liked the LG keyboards (personal taste), Luxx Icon Pack cause it's the best lookin set of icons you can find (personal taste), Black Player cause it's the best and most beautiful music player for Android, Blockada 5 to have less ads.

I use double screen at home and frankly speaking it's more for comfort, cause this way the phone seems not so heavy ;-) I appreciate the double screen when it comes to copy/paste things. I love the screenshot button by the way, so cool and easy.

I didn't try the 5G for the time being as 5G is not very well deployed in France, should be ok at the end of the year.

Wel all in all, my first goal which was to stick with a "good sounding" phone is achieved and I've got loads of improvements in so many areas that I must confess I love the V60. would have been perfect with rear fingerprint sensor and less weight but I'm very happy with it (for the price too).

Hello everyone,

on my Diamond some preinstalled programs can't be removed from the TouchFLO 3D programs shortcuts (e.g. youtube, google maps, tt, etc).

does someone know where to configuration file or registry key for this list is, so I can remove the programs manually? now there are 8 of 9 spots on the first page reserved for programs which I am not using...

Thank you for your help!

is there no solution to this "problem"?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] geenyous:
what about adding another tab with more program shortcuts? maybe that would work...?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] JVH3:
Thank You

I had somehow, without tweaking the registriy gotten a 7th row, which appeared as plusses, not the actual programs. This also made accessing the programs that were on the 4th row a little tricky, say while driving. Turned out I had extra registry entries. My working registry entries are now 0-17 and everything works fine. There was an 18, 19, and 100 before. I figured it was in the registry somewhere. This helped huge. Thanks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] RickRed40:
Where in the registry can you change "N" Once you go to launcher all you see are the folders that numbers. I've added #18,19,20, they are set but don't work. Can you explain in more detail what you have to change in the registry to get the files you add to work.

Reduce animation scale to .5x and the phone FLYS
[LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review] Maleko48:
No issues in this department... although I usually turn animations OFF competely in developer options anyways on all my phones.

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ----------

Why not turn them off completely? Just curious what your rationale is behind 0.50x vs OFF.
[LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review] pimpmaneaton:
One of the best things I like about the custom Ron's I have built is the ability to make the animation scale pretty much anything you want. Some roms would use a seekbar and can set the scale in .01 increments. Some just changed the values and put them in .1 increments up to 1.0.

It's nice to have at least a little animation cause not all apps have their own animation value and take example the loading animation, spinning circle, will become more just a displayed icon rather than an animation. So for a brief period looks like the app froze. Where with using at least .01 of an animation scale it would still at least rotate, just extremely fast.

I am new to LG and the theme engine it uses, but would be interesting to dig in and see if those values can be overlaid in a theme.

Well Yesterday when i was coming back from my office on public transport, the wired hands free(on my Jamin) unplugged and sound went to speaker, every body was looking at me, i was kind of embarrassed:D. Is there any tweak or music application that stop the sound from going to speaker if hands free suddenly unplugs. I remember my nokia 6230i, this phone auto stops the music if hands free unplug.

Thanks for the help.

LG Software still struggling "mosaic" post-production below average light condition, but night mode is quite good! Not app, just effects. Right now I'm testing some Gcam distros, from yesterday - UltraCVM prepared for Mi 9T (both of them works with 64mpx sensors).
[LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review] ern88:
Is there anyway to use 3d photos like on Facebook?
[LG V60 ThinQ Real Life Review] Mr_Mooncatt:
The main reason for the V60 is awesome manual photo/video controls. The phone does well for auto modes in good lighting, but they are still over aggressive with noise reduction that causes the water color effect (also apparent in the V20 I had prior, so this just how LG wants it). HDR works well, but doesn't always get the white balance right and wish I could use it while also having some manual control. I also wish they would've went with a straight up 16MP main sensor. Shooting at 64MP is no better than the binned 16MP option, and often worse.

I did "stress test" the camera the other day. I prefer long exposure photos and these were from a couple nights ago. I was limited on time and location, so pardon the motion blur in the light painting photos. But still... Let's see Gcam do this!
