??? - LG V20 Questions & Answers

???

Nice troll post.
But, with the amount of kernel development going on behind the scenes in various threads, the second screen for AOSP project, monthly ROMs, the ability to update without losing root, and the many other things floating around the development section, I'm inclined to say you're wrong.

I don't agree that the device is dead, it's still popular and really is a good phone. It's fairly new and LG will keep it updated, so many will continue to use and customize it for a while.
But me personally, I can't wait for the Note 8!!! [emoji3]

I'm looking for a good side-by-side photo of the 2 phones (Note8 V20). Does anyone have both and can take a photo?

Recent galaxy s4 reviews will make us all smile

If u were one of those people that was torn between the HTC one and the galaxy s4 .. well.. laggy, gimmicky, and boring design all seem to be mentioned in all the top website reviews on the final build s4. Stuff.tv and pocketnow are amoung a few sites rating the HTC one higher than the s4

I have noticed that too. So glad I've got One.

After having a galaxy s (still going) and seeing Samsung's lack of software support, on that alone I'd choose the HTC ONE. I'd be happy with the hardware upgrade of the S4, but the ONE seems like its of better build quality.
Not only that, but the whole PR debacle where Samsung was revealed to have been spreading bad user reviews of the HTC One also casts a shadow of doubt on anybody ridiculously badmouthing the One. Good job Samsung!
Hopefully the fact that almost all of the reviews mention the HTC One in comparison will give it the media exposure it is lacking due to minimal advertising.
Wow is that confirmed to be true? But yeah its some media exposure for HTC is always good.

In my past experiences, Samsung was not much better. I hated dealing with their customer service as well, was a pain in the rear.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/samsung-says-galaxy-s4-delayed-191217386.html
yeah right
I suppose I could just be having a bad experience with Samsung. In a way I'm glad, otherwise I wouldn't have tried so many great ROMs. I still think it should have been upgraded past gingerbread though.
just picked up my One a couple days ago. Wow. This thing is so buttery smooth it's like silk! I'm totally digging this masterpiece.

i never had a phone from them, but i had one of their high end $ 3000 led tv got it replaced twice by amazon (thanks amazon) while samsung customer service a-hole told me (after 50+ calls over a month and 2 tv sets) they will not honor the warranty due me abusing the tv by keeping it on for more than 6 hours because the tv was reseting every 15-30 min (really i bought an lg led never had problem with and will keep on for a day sometime w/o problem), so no thanks if samsung will make the last anything on the planet i will not buy it.

Sony , Nokia , ASUS, LG's problems disappeared in a second. hTC sacrifices itself to save the world.
I was one of the people who was torn between the S4 and HTC One i kept changing me mind right up to the last minute. I was coming from an S2 which i never had any problems with infact its still a great phone over 2 years old (the misses uses it now and loves it) I'm glad i went with the One though it has that WOW factor that i dont think the S4 has. i'm more than happy with my decision the One is an amazing piece of kit
I take it all but the most demented Sammy trolls are now far too busy over on the S4 forums to hang around our street corner anymore.

This phone is WAYY better than my nexus 5.

Absolutely loved my nexus 5. Was a great phone but I wanted a bigger screen. I really thought about the OPO for a while and finally pulled the trigger. Two days in and in couldn't be happier. Battery life is insane, camera is so much better, feels way lighter, double the storage, and I got it for the same price I sold my nexus for.
Only cons I see so far is 3rd party accessories are lacking big time and doesn't seem to be as many ROMs but stock rooted is working great for me anyways. So glad I went this route.

Just be patient. Due to the whole invite system, these phones are not that popular at the moment. Once they will become easily available for everyone, I'm sure the accessories market will explode.
As to the "slim offer" of ROMS you're refering to... You should have another look really, as there are quite allot of them.
i hope so, cause the nexus 5 is couple years old.

it is almost one year only, sorry. seems a lot longer for some reason.
I cant wait
I cant wait to get mine in the mail. I am currently using a Nexus 5 so this is great to hear.
Feels way lighter though its 30grams heavier? Wow... that's a huge difference for a phone.
Ya feels lighter to me at least. Maybe because its not so compact.. I don't know. Don't care if there's already a thread either. Lol. My voice must be heard.

Came from a Nexus 5 myself which is in my opinion one of the greatest smartphones ever made, so I had high hopes for this and it hasn't let me down. Although I did love the feel and size of the N5, the OPO simply outclasses it in every category. I may even keep this phone as my backup when the Nexus 6 drops instead of selling it towards the purchase cost. Although I love my OPO I'm definitely getting that ish, I've been dreaming of a Moto-made Nexus for years. And if I don't I still have the next best thing

Edit: New s-pen features coming, not a new S-pen

Edit: The article I read was premature and made it appear a new S-pen Is coming. New features may be coming, but no all new S-pen

You might want to update the title or have the Mods delete this thread so people don't have to read the whole page to see that there is no new S-Pen.
You mean like I just did lol?
Or realize Note 4 came with new SPen with pressure sensitive. I've used it in draw apps & Snote. Pressure affects how the pen fans what you write. Makes cool calligraphy. Old Note isn't as fun now. They cover the new pen on product detail of phone
I saw someone mention somewhere that the tips included are different? Like different pressure.. Anyone have any idea whether this is true or not? I always thought they were just different colors..

I tried. I simply based it on the only article I saw at the time.
I had to actually break out the browser to do it since I didn't see a way to do it with the app.
Having looked at the potential, they could do some really cool things with this spen.
I wish it had a mic and small speaker on it, nothing crazy or fancy. I thought at one time there was a Bluetooth one you could answer calls on but I can't remember exactly

Try the other color.. they have a diferent feel to them, and artists might want to use the other ones. it was confirmed in a note 3 thread that the two tip types are slightly different, and are made of different materials.

Really Hmmnn.. Lol, I have to trade in my 3 and they came with different tops also.. Lol, let me but YouTube for instruction..
Funny thing is, I have used every note and never changed a tip. That would be cool if they were different, like lighter..

Yep, that's true...except there is only one ROM there currently, which directs users back to this forum. I know of one other over here that someone has made work with VZW, curious if more. Could I search/try each one? No doubt, but thought I would

Generally devs tend to only release their roms in the main forum for a particular device...much easier to maintain.
Because of that, each rom usually states in the OP what it's compatible with.

Probably should have prefaced OP by saying I know my way around XDA, I know there is multiple model threads, and I have been to your link. Just trying to save a little digging effort. Some of those roms in your link support VZW model...was hoping folks could say which ones, and some folks have responded. Thanks!
I tried viper and leedroid. Stock Verizon rom still seems to be doing better job with reception. Much better I must say.

So I can finally upgrade my phone on Verizon. And one phone I was leaning towards was the HTC 10 mainly because it can be rooted and bootloader unlocked and Verizon tries their hardest to block root and bl unlock. So can anyone give me their honest opinion of the phone

What's hot to you? I haven't gotten this phone hot yet and I had the m9 before. This phone seems to do much better than the m9 on that front
To further answer the question..
Cameras are great.
Fit/finish are great
Speakers are so-so (I've heard with root mods they are better)
Missing some of the classic HTC apps but can be installed via apk mirror.
It's my favorite phone of all in the last two years.

Hot is noticeably hot in my hand. I've had EX Kernel Manager report temps reaching to the upper 40s C on an occasional basis. Usually it's the upper 30s or lower 40s after a few minutes of Facebook or web browsing.

When will Nougat 7.1.1. come to V20?

Ok V20 came with 7.0, but then when 7.1.1. will arrive OTA? Thanks.
No idea, but we may not even get it.
Think of what happened with Lollipop 5.1.1... a lot of phones skipped it, and jumped directly to 6.
I think I remember this happening with LG too in the past, with the G4 precisely.

We have 7.1.1 available for us if you are rooted. AOSP provides the latest 7.1.1 but we lose the second screen.
That's the only reason I stay on 7.0 stock ROMs right now.

This is one of the first phones I've owned that I cannot root, and it kills me! I knew what I was getting into, but I hoped... It was foolish of me. Thing is, I've either become too fussy with what I want from a phone, spec-wise, or the market is saturated with devices that manufacturers WANT us to buy / THINK they know what we want. Depends on your point of view I guess.

I get you. However, I have no reason to root because the phone is perfect to me. It's fast, it doesn't have some ****ty ass skin on it and honestly I just don't see the need to root at this point. I won't buy a Samsung because they suck and are a bad representation of Android.

There's a couple small things that annoy me about the V20, but I think it's variant specific to my model (H990DS). I agree with you on the Samsung comments!

I don't understand... I have the H910 and I don't have any issues (outside of the obvious that everyone suffers from) with rooting. I have full root and utilize Dual Boot Patcher with no problems.

i finally rooted my t-mobile v20 and took a bit. (not as easy as my Nexus 6p)... but twice already idk how it got stuck in twrp bootloop. I had to completely go back to stock. but cant' complain about stock rom. It's pretty smooth still.
PS: I always thought T-mobile and At&t variants were pretty easy to root. didn't realized at&t is near impossible..
Sprint used to be really easy to root. However since around the S6 the process has been a pain.
