Hi
about to buy the the black version of the lgv500 (gpad 8.3) got a few questions
1. how do i know the device is original /authentic ?
2.any software or material(build quality etc) issues with v500 (personal experience) ?
3. on this tablet is it possible to flash the google edtion of the rom onto the tablet ?
4.does the tablet lose the ir blaster (remote control functionality on the google edtion?
thanks ,
was going to buy a note 8.0 but heard it had stacks of software instability issues
I'll see if I can chip in... I have a black v500
1. Ummm look for LG logo? Buy from reputable source. Not sure what you're looking for here
2. Some people have reported a blue line on the border of the screen. I've seen a few people who reported light bleed as well. (No issues at all with mine and many others around here)
3. Short answer: no. Not now. Someone has it in alpha version right now, but it cannot really be used... Only for testing at this point. There are a few AOSP ROMs such as CM, PA, AOKP and Mahdi ROM all running though.
4. The hardware is identical, but the app is bundled by LG so I believe that means you are looking for a third party solution... Someone would have to verify this one though.
Hope that helps

thank you so much for your reply
in regards to question 1 its so i know whether the product i buy is real as i intend to buy the black version ( these days as you know there are fake tablets etc which look and almost act like the real stuff ) online as the white version is only available in Australia.
Also what region r u from or where did u get your v500 ,cause when i looked this up on xda sounds like a region specific issue.
lastly based on your day to day usage does the v500 heat up easily with light -heavy usage ? and how often are u charging your v500 (in terms of standby)
Glad to help out.
I got my tablet from Newegg.com
I have had the top of the device (when in portrait) heat up a but when playing graphically intense video games. That's the only time I've noticed it.
I can get away with charging it every other day with moderate usage. If I do some gaming during the day I normally throw it on the charger at night just to be positive I make it through the next day.
Cheers

Hiii Guys I w`ll Buy Lg G3 Next 5 Days But i Heard that`s had alot of Bugs like overheating and random shutdown So I Want Your advices Buy it or Not ? Thxx Guys
Early firmware had some horrible bugs like shutdowns and reboots. Firmware 10g solved those for me and seems to have done for most users.
My advice is buy it but make a firmware update the first thing you do when you get it.

Hello[emoji4] If you have an LG G2, I personally don't see a need to buy a new device, the LG G3 features little upgrades from the G2, They both have the same Camera Sensors(except the G3 records 4k for 5 minutes and it has OIS Plus, and 120 fps recording, you'll lose the 60 fps option on the G3, both have the same battery capacity (3000 mAh battery), but due to the fact that the G3 has to push more pixels with the help of the Qualcomm Quadcore Snapdragon 801 process being used(because of the QHD Display) the battery will drain quicker than the G2's battery and the G3 Will get hot(depending on your usage) due to what I mentioned early, the G2 however has a 1080p Display, the battery on the G2 can handle the 1080p Display but not the QHD Display on the G3(you can replace the battery on the G3) what device do you have right now before I go any further?

There have been reports(not a lot) of overheating, and reports of the battery life lasting for at least 4 to 5 hours, but it all depends on how frequent you use your device, it can last up to a day or two if your just using your device for talk and text, but if your using your device for more than just talking and texting, expect some battery drainage.

Now speaking of Kernels, I'm sorry, I don't know, but if you like to have a good amount of storage and replaceable storage and easily replaceable battery for a bigger battery then you'll enjoy the LG G3, because the device you have right now, it will be a huge step up for you to purchase the G3, if you don't like how the G3 performs, is the store where you're considering purchasing one give you the option to refund and give you a replacement?

Ok, I'll say go ahead and purchase the G3 because in reality all mobile devices get warm or hot, so that's kinda unavoidable, my LG G2 is kinda warm as I'm typing this message, and the battery life on the G3, that depends on the individual, what that person may like or may not like, you can watch and read many reviews as possible about the G3, but those reviews don't matter more than that individual's experience with the device, all reviewers of products can give you is their opinion on the product, one person might say the battery life on the G3 is horrible but another person may disagree with that statement, it's all about your personal preferences to that product.[emoji4][emoji106]

Read the G3 development forum for rom and kernel info. The G3 is rootable so you can use trickstermod etc to tweak the stock kernel to save battery. Remember that display is by far the biggest battery hog. So far the G3 has similar battery life to my old HTC One X+ with a battery saving custom kernel. I don't think you will have much to worry about

I'm not aware aware of any custom kernels yet but there is a thread started with kernel source code in the development forum.

Is This Right ??
Hi all,
I'm thinking of moving to the LG G4 from my Nexus 6.
The only problem is that I love stock (Vanilla) Android, are there any stock Android ROMs for the LG G4 so you don' have to use LG's skin? But still retain the LG G4 camera?
Thanks,
T-L-H
No, but there is an aosp theme in the theme and app section
Hybrid theme by kickoff
For most of the devices there isn't a way to unlock the bootloader. So that means we can't flash a custom recovery. But for the two models (i think)
that have their bootloaders unlocked they have an alpha version of CM i believe.
OK I am considering trading mine for a g3 if it's really not looking like having a recovery on a Verizon model. Especially considering the disaster it's been after even replacing it and the fact I get maybe 2 hours unplugged (that's with screen all the way down, no 3rd party apps running in the background, and all possible stock apps disabled), but somehow out of nowhere my touch problem disappeared almost completely as long as its unplugged. I know now that charger has alot to do with the touch problem and use a non stock charger and it goes completely nuckin futts and unusable. It's such a bad ass phone if you are lucky enough to get a good one, it's so sad... Why LG released a phone so apparently untested is beyond me they had to have known... Has anyone else had the touch screen issue disappear magically with no type of update or anything being altered?

Hey everyone. I made this topic just to discover who regrey buying LG G4 and the reason why they regret. If they dont regret then please let us know.

Why?.I have it since a week and the phone is great,perfect.As an ex M9 user,the G4 is better IMO.
Waiting for 6.0.
No regrets after more than 4 months, you need a BT earphones for music as the 3.5mm is too low and some HTC ported apps to have a perfect UI (thanks Xpirt)
I didn't regret, but I do wish some things could be better (UI & Battery Life). Other than those, I've been relatively happy with my decision.
However, I installed the Resurrection Remix ROM last week and battery life is definitely better and the AOSP UI + CM13 theme engine is 100 times better than stock.

Which variant are you using? For most devices 6.0 is out there and you can manually install it (With or without root )
EDIT: To answer your question: No ragrets. Not even an "a" for an "e" :laugh: Best phone out there.
Came from a Note 4, love the G4 (stock) the most! Not as much bloat and nonsense as the note 4
I sold my G4 just for modding. I like to mod and unfortunately G4 have a small community. Good luck , best 2015 phone if you dont mind to be on stock.
only thing i regret about the G4 is the inability of most G4 variants to have an official unlocked bootloader ughh damn LG
I regret it and also not. I owned at least half a dozen android phones in the past two years, and the LG was the real bang for the buck with a very great camera. However, this was the only phone I had serious issues with.
H815 - First unit came with the display acting up (stuck pixel clusters), and finally RMAd it, when the motherboard died. I received it back repaired (PCB changed), but the display is now worse than before, the problem is, that it only shows after a few minutes of usage and probably they did not notice it. Stuck pixels + different brightness levels around the stuck pixel area. RMAing it again...
I don't really regret buying it, but if I were given the option again, I wouldn't chose G4.
My LG G4 is flawless. Battery is OK, no bootloops, no stutters/lags, etc. However, I bought it right after it was put in the market for a not-so-budget price and, for my needs, an S6 would've be better suited.
I mean... don't get me wrong. But as far as I don't need a spare battery/expandable storage, S6 would be a better choice. I just got tempted for the 5,5 screen and camera.

Im using H815T.My phone just boot up after flashing V20B KDZ with LGUP.6.0 looks smoother than LP.With V20C after restart comes up an error,but this error is not present with V20B.
Sorry,my english is not the best,that's why i do some errors.
I regret because I have weirdo half screen touch problem, it becomes crazy, but it's not a real problem, but there's still a problem so... and I don't have time to send it back, It does not have fingerprint sensor which is a shame for a 2015 flagship and it's plastic, we need some metal with leather...
But I bought it because of his camera, that's it.
have it for 6 months now (it is my only phone)
I regret:
- bad battery life (no more than 3h SOT)
- no unlocked bootloader / dead development scene (only a handful of ROMs, most are buggy and almost all of them are for H815 eu only models)
- bad sound over the earphones (really weak)
- no fingerprint reader (when all the other flagships have one)
- features that are essentially broken (still to this day), like tap to unlock
Lg v10 hands down would have been much better to have but lg g4 is still a great phone non the less
Overall i do regret.
I really liked the phone camera (front and back), screen, design and the option to remove battery and insert an sd card if needed.
But as i said before i never buy an LG smartphone again. They unlock the bootloader for just a single model and thats it. I like to customize and install mods on my phones, mainly to make it better, faster and that stuff, but my H815P cant be unlocked, and now here i am with a "Porsche that can't past 60mph"
Yet on the bad side, battery is not the best, some bugs even on the stock rom, and etc.
LG, never again. I prefer a not so good phone but that i can do whatever i want than this. Note 5 is the target now.

I was waiting for OTA or update to come through Bridge and couldnt wait more,so i used V20B KDZ and it's done with LGUP.Very smooth really.
regret and disappoint , all about the bootloader
I do ..because of the locked bootloader and i have g815p and i still didnt get MM
I moved to the V10 and I don't regret getting the G4 at all...because I still have it
These are similar phones spec-wise but in hand they are obviously quite different. I've had the G4 since July and just got the V10 a couple of weeks ago.
Already I keep trying to unlock the smaller phone via the non-existent fingerprint scanner lol!

No need to remain in stock, the community worked out ways how to root. But the biggest downer is definitely LGs position on bootloader unlocking. We can have Lollipop root without BL unlock, but no custom ROMs, no root for Marshmallow :/
It's my second Android, my previous one is a rather ****ty Galaxy Ace from 2011. So yeah, compared to that, Im happy with rooted 5.1.
I have had my ZTE Axon 30 for about 3 weeks I think, maybe more like 2. I like it a lot. The only two quirks I've noticed is that the screen is not as responsive as I would like (might be the screen protector as I put it on before even powering the phone on, since I cracked my last screen), and sometimes the Facebook app will be jerky until I close it and restart the app. Haven't seen that on any of my last 5+ phones. My last phone was a Moto Edge S (G100) which was a pretty good phone, but a little smaller than I like. The battery life is pretty good on this phone, I usually get through a day of usage, but it's around 15% or less if I wait until bed time to actually plug it in. I'm overall happy with this phone, though the quick settings options in the notifications dropdown has certain parts not customizable like I want them to be (wifi calling and mobile data are permanent, huge buttons, and I would much prefer other options like airplane mode or bluetooth). The performance is very good, maybe a little lower than the Edge S, but still not bad. It's a good phone and I'm happy with it.
Sidenote: if anyone knows about a bug causing Facebook to be laggy sometimes until restarted and you know how to fix it, please let me know?
Here is my experience so far after a week of use. I don't care about cameras on a phone. So no feedback from me there.
It's pretty big but it's not bad to hold since it's not wide, just tall.
Performance is fast enough for me. I can watch and scroll through 5.7k 360 videos on the Insta360 app without lag at all.
The screen is pretty pretty good. Would have liked it to have higher nits for outside use. But won't complain much since 99.9% of the phones on the market have punch holes and notches....
The fingerprint sensor is very accurate and fast. Finally got a phone where it is actually useable. My previous 2 phones' fingerprint sensors were trash.
Smart Lock Trusted Places! How I missed this feature on the Mi 9T which only supported Bluetooth unlock and only with Xiaomi Bluetooth devices...
Related to the previous point, I wish there was an option to remove the 'Swipe screen to unlock' when the phone is unlocked with Smart Lock. The Mi 9T has this option in the Developer options but didn't find it on this one. It's just an annoyance having to swipe.
Speaking of Bluetooth, no issues so far. Did file transfers and use Sennheiser MW2 to listen to music. No disconnections at all.
The Always On Display does not work for me at all. Nada. Not a big deal for me since I don't use it but it should be fixed.
As HopelesRomantc91 mentioned, not all of the notifications icons are customisable. Torch, Bluetooth, Data and Wifi are big buttons that cannot be removed. The rest can be added, removed and re-ordered
It comes preloaded with some bloatware but it can be easily removed using ADB.
Since nobody mentions this in a phone review, although it also depends on the carrier, I had no problems with calls and also use dual SIM.
I wish it had the feature of applying dark mode for all apps like MIUI. The next best thing this offers is Read Mode which you can turn globally or per app. I use the latter to turn Apps that don't have a dark theme into greyscale. Helps a bit.
The touch sensitivity on the edge of the screen seems to be a bit 'rough'. When using the keyboard and pressing on the letters/buttons at the edge, most of the the time there is a delay with registering the touch. This has probably to do with the screen-edge mistouch prevention. I changed it to 0 but it still occurs. Maybe this can be fixed in a firmware update. I don't have any issues with the phone registering unintended touches when holding it even at 0.
Regarding gestures & motions, they all seem to work pretty well. I mostly use double tap to wake.
For some reason, the Z-POP feature in the settings under Feature is also named Mi-Pop in the Notification icon. I don't find it that useful.
No headphone jack sucks but it comes with the adaptor. I just leave the earbuds attached to it since I only use them for the phone. So it's just a straight plug in for me.
Last but not least is the battery/optimisation. It's pretty pretty good! I judge the battery by screen off time. I charged it to 90%, went to bed and left the phone on. Just DnD on. No power saver. 8 hours later it was still 90%! After that, I only used the phone every now and then since I was busy working. Around 3 hours later, this thing was still at 90%. Compared to the Mi 9T, the Axon 30 doesn't seem to suffer from constant wakelocks so when the screen is off, it is majority of the time in deep sleep. Pretty optimised. I checked with BetterBatteryStats. I don't use 5G. Oh and the charging speed is fast! From 20% to 90% in ~27min.
Overall I am satisfied with the phone.
That's it for now. If I remember something else or encounter anything else of interest, will post it here.
Google Play store does not automatically update the apps and doesn't show the notifications. Both settings are on. So I have to remember once in a while to open the Play Store and install the pending updates manually. Not sure if this is specific to this device or if it's a Google Play store bug but I never had this problem on previous devices.
New update; 11.0.17_A2322G_EEA. Always on display is fixed. Automatic Play Store app updates and notifications still not working.
Hi guys...
I'm thinking of buying this phone. I was wondering, do you still get updates from time to time? Any word on some major ones, like Android 12?
Would you recomende it for about 375 EUR / 395 USD it costs at local retailer right now?

Last update was the one I posted in my last post so Security update is the one from December... I contacted ZTE support about a possible upgrade to Android 12 or at least more security updates. Their reply was that they don't have any information but that it might receive future updates because it is a newly launched phone.... Almost a year old.

Don't know, but interesting that EEA has higher nominal version number (11.0.17), but older Android patch level...
Still hoping for Android 12, read somewhere it can be expected till the end of August. Now, is it info for CN or Global version, I don't know.
Btw, I feel like they didn't sell many units of this one globaly, although they marketed it decently and it got attention because of the under display cam and stuff. Seems like even on tech forums nobody has this model...

A thing I'm curios about...
One of the things I was happy about when I bought the phone was a 65W charger. The brick is quite compact but heavy (as the 65W probably should be), cable is USB-C to USB-C. Perfect for a universal charger.
But when I tried to charge my Lenovo laptop with it, nothing happened. The laptop also came with 65W charger (of course, much bulkier and with a longer cable).
I was really hoping I could use the ZTE brick on the laptop, mainly because I used my previous phone charger (Poco X3) and it worked although that one could deliver just 33W.
Any ideo why this happens?

One of the things I was happy about when I bought the phone was a 65W charger. The brick is quite compact but heavy (as the 65W probably should be), cable is USB-C to USB-C. Perfect for a universal charger.
But when I tried to charge my Lenovo laptop with it, nothing happened. The laptop also came with 65W charger (of course, much bulkier and with a longer cable).
I was really hoping I could use the ZTE brick on the laptop, mainly because I used my previous phone charger (Poco X3) and it worked although that one could deliver just 33W.
Any ideo why this happens?

So when you plugin the ZTE charger in the laptop, it's not detected at all? Or is it detected, not discharging just not charging? Maybe it doesn't support any of the Output voltages/amps of the charger? Not really that knowledgeable in electricity. What output voltages/amps does it show on the Lenovo charger?
It's not detected at all.
Both of them show 20V - 3.25A - 65W.
For the 15V, 9V and 5V they have different A and W values.
Edit: just tried on my co-worker's laptop (also Lenovo, but different model), and it charges at full speed. His also came with a 65W charger originaly. So it seems to be some compitability issue, maybe USB-C port or something. Quite strange.
New update! I guess EEA version is not abandoned yet. 11.0.20 with June security update. Maybe we get Android 12 end of next year when Android 14 is out.
Good news. I'm still hoping for the end of August...
Now, playing with the settings, I saw a strangely named "tiny screen display" setting under "Display" options. I must admit, took me a few minutes to realize it's about UDC (under display camera) area.
How did you set yours (if you changed it at all)? I tweaked mine so it is hardly visible on white, but then again it is still quite noticable on other colors.
Haha never knew what that setting was and never tried it.
Yeah, I think I got it after the last update. Quite sure it wasn't there when I got the phone.
Here's how it looks...

Global just got 11.0.9 with June security patch.
MyOS12.0.16_A2322 (with Android 12 I believe) was rolled out for the Chinese version Axon 30 5G on 2022-08-02 according to this support page: https://www.ztedevices.com/cn/supports/zte-axon-30-5g/
Not sure how long it will take to hit the other markets...
