How's IR Blaster? Did you get it to work with your TV? Also Any performance issues Lag etc?
I'm at work so haven't tried that feature.
No apparent lag...the screen is beautiful, but my other phone is the Optimus G so this is not noticeably faster.

One of the things I hate doing is swiping a whole bunch to scroll through length webpages or forums.
Have you used the smart scroll feature to surf any pages? How well does it work? Does away with all the swiping that is normally done while surfing on a smartphone browser?
Have you tried the NFC? I assume it works in exactly the same way as GS3...?

Also, could you take pictures of the phone itself? In addition, a picture of the apps that are in the drawer immidiately upon boot?
Just tried it on a few pages...it seems to work really well...I guess it is based on the angle at which it thinks your eyes are looking at the screen so you can trigger it by tilting the phone. I can scroll up and down an entire page without touching the screen, and stop wherever I want to read something.

I'm not a big NFC user and didn't have a GS3, but I just sent a web page from the S4 to my Optimus G and it works the same way I remember.

Unfortunately it started downloading all my apps I have ever installed on my play account as soon as the phone cranked up.
In my best fake Australian accent...
"What a beauty!"
Thanks for the pics!
Could you take a pic of the battery vs. the S3's battery? or just the battery of the S4 if you don't own an S3. How's the movies quality on the S4? Thanks.
LTE speeds? and area you are testing?
No S3 here...My old phone is the LG Optimus G
The screen is great, movie quality is awesome, HD!

It's definitely nice, the screen is probably it's best feature. My other phone is the LG Optimus G so the S4 is not a big spec jump. It almost feels too light, but I am attributing that to the fact that my OG is a slab of glass.

Could you give us a real world example of the "dual camera" feature? I guess you simply have your face over whatever picture you took with the main shooter? The reviewers are excited about this feature, but I can't figure out any practical example of why this would be useful...

Maybe if you're filming a video and you want to talk about what you are filming? Maybe showing the reaction on your face to whatever it is you are taking a picture of. Video reviewers will like it because they can show their face while recording their review.
I'm definitely with you on that....the only thing I could see it being useful for is capturing your reaction to the picture you are taking...? It actually frames your face in a postage stamp and overlays that on the rear camera picture. I guess they are trying to make the picture taker not feel left out of the picture.

The coding in the stock camera app seems to be a bit screwed up, it makes the camera tend not to focus well and seems a bit unclear most of the time. In that case use this:
https://market.android.com/details?id=vStudio.Android.Camera360&hl=en
If you have no interest in filters, there is an original version of every photo taken.
The one problem that may annoy you is the improper scaling. The photo's are worth it though, Here are some samples.
http://dagogo.picturepush.com/album/183838/p-Galaxy-note-test-(at-a-party).html
click on the pictures so it opens in a new window and then click "full" resolution!!!
Has a nice tilt-shift feature for enhancing depth.

Apparently non US customers got screwed over like me, as Amazon bought exclusive rights to sell the Ultimate version in their appstore. Can't find it in market anymore. And my Titanium restore from Desire doesn't work either...
I don't like paying for nothing that much, to be honest.

A lot of users paid for the Ultimate version and it is no surprise are far from happy in how the developer sold out to Amazon leaving it's paid supporters out in the cold.
For that reason they will not support the developer again, paid or free.
I just downloaded and installed camera 360 free version.
Works just fine....Ithink I'll still keep my Canon T2i however...lol

My camera works flawlessly.
After playing a bit with the Camera Settings may be I am getting somewhere Took it today:
I'm curious if anyone else noticed that the pictures after taken are not as bright as when seen through camera...
or am i the only one?
i downlaoded 360 for free as well. . .works great ..
camera is great in the day but i am finding it takes poor night pictures. .

Hmm... that's interesting..if ever there is a version 3.0, then why isn't it available directly in the market?
What do you guys think of the camera modes? I think a lot of them seem to be cool but aren't they all independent? I.e., if I'm taking a shot of 3 people in a busy area, it stands to reason that I would want to use best shot for the people's faces but also use the eraser feature in case someone walked by. Is that possible?
I'm also thinking about combining all the features in very few modes...like what the htc one did.. it's actually all based on burst-mode or post-effect.
I'm really confused why they've made it in this way, it can't help a lot in the daily usage and sometimes is annoying.
Is anyone else having the issue of the camera not remembering the mode if you close ot then open it again at a later point

Gs3 gti9300 had this to it is easily fixed by choosing your desired settings, then take a snap of something, then close cam and close in running apps, then when u load fresh it will still have saved settings. This only applies to gps, face detection, ISO, resolution, not the drama shot and shot with sound.
Hope this helps

Yes it is, go to settings when camera is loaded then select face detection on (set to off by default) then go to Eraser shot.should work and give best possible outcome. Let me know if this works for you mate
The Moto X phone just received a camera update which allows the Moto 360(smart watch) to take a picture. When you open the camera on the phone the app on the watch also activates. You can then tap the screen on the watch and the phone will count down a few seconds and take a picture. After the picture is taken it appears on the watch face.
Not sure it is super useful but I guess if you prop your phone up and take group shots you can now do it remotely and also verify the pic is ok(albeit in very tiny form on the 360 screen)
It is nice to see Motorola continues to add features.

Not everyone has your issue though. Who knows how many out there do. It could be a very small percentage and therefore unnoticed by Motorola.
My wife's X on 4.4.4 is fine. Nearly as good as my M8 anyway.
Though both don't compare to my $120 Kodak camera. Lol

I understand Motorola is not the best manufacturer of cameras for mobile phones, but if this is a mistake, since before 4.4.2 did not happen.
The first photo was taken with Moto X, the second with a galaxy S3 with no light in the room, only the flash.
? I much prefer the first pic. Taking pics of real people is a drag when its too dark like pic 2.
Guess everyone is different . ?

Plus the flash on the white is obviously reflecting the light back.
Just curious if anyone is disappointed in the v20? I know some have already received their units.
The YouTube reviews are very mixed. Most seem positive, but I'm looking objectivity too. Not just the LG fans. Honesty.
Curious - thanks.
What reviews are you looking at? I've seen 95% very positive reviews.
i feel the screen could have been better.. i like the amoleds
The phone itself I love. There are software changes I could change.
Oh, I do wish there was an LED indicator. Makes it easier to know what's going on from across the room. 2nd screen is hard to read from afar.
I'm just trying to get used to LG again from using Samsung for the last year. I wish the stock launcher was a little bit....more. I used the stock touch-wiz on the S7 edge and Note 7 and actually liked it (I know, I know) and I feel like the LG launcher is a little meh in comparison. Switched to Smart Launcher and all is well there. I do sort of wish the screen was AMOLED, but that said, the screen on this thing is in no way bad. Otherwise, fantastic phone and so nice to be on a proper 5.7 screen again.
Has anyone found a way to schedule comfort mode? I don't like I have to go turn it on and off.

Try Nova. It works well with my v20
I will get mine tonight and will let you know what I dont like. I have a Nexus 6P at the moment and had 4 Note 7 in 1 month. The Note 7 was a great phone from the design but Touchwiz is so slow and laggy it was annoying. The screen of course was gorgeous and the camera was great. The 6P is in general fast but stock android is so blunt. I had Nexus phone for 4 years. The 6Ps camera is slow and the stock camera app is awfully simple. The AMOLED on the 6P is awful (yellow tint and dark). I rather have a good LCD than a bad AMOLED. On the N7 and the ^P battery life was just OK. Nothing to brag about.
I hope from the V20 that the screen is decent, the camera is fast and takes good pictures and that the battery life is decent. I am most concerned about battery life but we will see.

Switch to a different launcher like Nova and then customize it the way you want it to look and that way you can take that look with you from phone to phone.

It is. Even with phone in silent it still makes the shutter sound. Nothing mutes it.
I use Nova launcher prime. I like Nova so much it's one of the few apps I bought gladly.
I'm shocked you can't disable the shutter sound. That sucks. I take pictures of my grandkids a lot and the sound makes them wild! LOL they want to hear it over and over... LOL ?
I guess that'll have to be something once it's rooted and custom rooms start showing up.
My last 2 phones have been Samsung. Galaxy S3 which I kept for nearly 2 years, and now the Samsung Note 4 which I've had for almost exactly 2 years. Before the S3 I was either using an iPhone or the LG 3D phone which I can't remember the model number.
So my dilemma is I read the specs for the v20 and I'm underwhelmed. Then I compare against my note 4 and don't see enough "upgrades"... I like the ticker screen on top, I think that's awesome. I like the wide angle camera but the images look so fish eyed I can't imagine using that for taking pictures of my kids (my main photo subjects) for scenery or artistic shots I'm sure it's amazing. But I'm no photographer, I want good pictures and fast camera response. (and no shutter speed)
I agree with the poster who said a good lcd screen is better than a bad amoled screen. I do wish it was amoled but it isn't so...
Thank you all for the info. Please keep it coming.

Nova is a great launcher, don't get me wrong. I'm just getting lazy in setting up my phone and Smart Launcher lets me customize my phone without having to set up folders and organize things myself. Nova requires so much initial set-up and I just don't have the patience lately.
Back on subject though, the more I use this phone, the more I love it. It sucked to have to give back the Note 7, but this is a worthy replacement and feels so well built.

It's a bit complex but it has a camera sounds options in it: Camera FV-5 I think it has a freebie trial version so you don't have to buy it. (Only reason I got it was to shoot RAW on my Nexus 6. The V20 already has the RAW option baked in.)
---------- Post added at 07:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------
Although, I just thought about this and I'm now curious to see if any of these 3rd party camera apps will work with the V20 since it has all the cameras and not just one front one back.
Do you have the korean version? Korean and Japanese phones have shutter sounds always-on to attempt to curtail "up-skirt" photography.

First thing first. Check if it is an external or internal issue. To check if it is external, take a closer look to the camera (if possible with a zoom ?) and if you see the lens is foggy or some moist inside there, then you will have to open it. To check if is internal, install 2 or 3 other cameras that work with selfies and see if it is blurry too.
Could you post an example?

1st, if you want someone to answer to you, you must click on the reply button. otherwise, that person might never know that you are asking him something.
Now, this is a picture of how more or less a foggy/moist lens would look like (like fog accumulating on the interior).If you take a close look and you dont see anything abnormal, then it is more likely to be something inernal (software related) but in order to see whether is that too then, you might want to install several camera apps and try each one. if none of the show a blurry image, then it is software related. if all of them show you the same result then ... it might be external and you would have to open the phone.

Er, the OP started the thread and commented about blurry photos, what made you assume the thread was suddenly about you?
And there's about a million different reasons for photos to come out blurry which is why it is best to ask for examples instead of jumping on a solution that is probably somewhere at the bottom of the list out of possible reasons first. Makes complete sense that I was talking to the OP if you're actually here to help the OP.

Er, the OP started the thread and commented about blurry photos, what made you assume the thread was suddenly about you?
And there's about a million different reasons for photos to come out blurry which is why it is best to ask for examples instead of jumping on a solution that is probably somewhere at the bottom of the list out of possible reasons first. Makes complete sense that I was talking to the OP if you're actually here to help the OP.

Ah. nevermind I thought I was talking to the OP but now i figured out i was talking with someone else.
Do you know what a hierarchy chart by any chance? (dont go taking this question the wrong way now)
Yes, I know what a hierarchy chart is but I fail to see how that solves the OP's issue without the OP coming back and giving us examples of his/her blurry photos.
To get back on track, and yes this is almost pointless without samples of the blurry pics, my front camera seems to "smooth" selfie pics as if to make them seem better. They look, to me, like they have been processed to look "better"--like some people often do on Facebook to pics of themselves, particularly if they are above a "certain age."

First thing first. Check if it is an external or internal issue. To check if it is external, take a closer look to the camera (if possible with a zoom [emoji361]) and if you see the lens is foggy or some moist inside there, then you will have to open it. To check if is internal, install 2 or 3 other cameras that work with selfies and see if it is blurry too.

Thanks for all the suggestions. It turns out lens had collected dust under the screen protector. I took some pics without screen proctor they came out just fine. I am sorry to reply so late due to hectic work schedule. Truly appreciate the advice. I didn't mean to post a question and disappear.

Just bought the V20 and I've got to say how disappointed I am with the front camera, particularly auto mode. It's almost impossible to take a picture that isn't blurry. The only way to get a decent picture is to switch to manual mode and increase shutter speed. Once you toggle between shutter speed and iso, you can capture really decent pictures. Where this causes problems is when you need to snap a picture really quickly and don't have time to sit and adjust settings. I'll probably return this phone and go for a Samsung. At least I know I'll get great pictures. Very disappointing.
the front camera sucks because of the focus, that's why mines blurry anyway. it's like infinity focus so anything closeup, like a selfie, is not sharp. the galaxy s7 was the same way.. the ffc was garbage on it bc of this. weird, bc my note 4 ffc was 10x better than both and that phones 3 years old lol

I think it has something to do with with the stupid beauty filter on the front cam for selfies. Even if you turn it down to 0 it still looks like it's applying a smoothing effect and there is no way to turn it off as far as I know.
Just doing a comparison shot in another camera app like the Google camera I can tell a difference in the detail of my skin. The Google camera sucks because there is too much noise overall but I can actually see the individual hairs on my beard whereas on the LG one with the beauty thing turned to 0 it still looks like a smoothed out mish mash
