I got this tablet for Christmas a few years ago and it came from Best Buy. Does that mean I have the v500? I think it only got one or two updates from LG and I basically gave it to my daughter so she could watch Netflix. It's been a while so I was wondering if anyone could give me a update of where this tablet is. Are there any decent Nouget roms that are worth installing. This tablet just seems slow and since my daughter uses it for the most part, I was thinking about wiping it and installing something other than the stock rom to see if that would improve performance.
The model of the tablet all bf in Settings / About / Hardware. There are three variants of the G Pad 8.3: VK810, V500 and V510. All other models of G Pads in these sections are something other than the G Pad 8.3.
I put my VK810 back on KitKat because Lollipop 5.0.x is to slow, they never offered 5.1 or 6.x for this variant. All variants are different.
Hi, I have G3. i bought it from China through Ebay. There is a problem with it 西村大一 said that the IPS started separating from the glass front. So I send it back and I have now two options to replace it with the same EU version with 32 GB or for 15$ more I can get G4. Before I had problem with G3 overheating issue with ARCTIC MX-4. So can you give me advice, which one to chose. The second thinks is that i have love mei case for G3 which means if I chose G4 i have to buy new one, well that is not a big deal. I have red for the G4 boot loop problem and the notification light, and sensor problems. Please share your experience and give me advice which one to chose. Thanks!
most of those g3s from China are refurbished.. and the often has screen issues like that..
my advice is, do not get those refurbished LG phones from China.. not G4.. and G4 is not even worth it.. if your budget is around $150-200 you can get redmi note 3, le 2, zuk z2, mi max or there are plenty of more choices..

Ok but the phone came with original box and was unopened. So I think that was a defective phone.
Stick with the G3. G4 is just a minor upgrade IMO, plus the G4 has other issues aside from the usual LG trademark poor quality solder and blazing sun temperatures on the Snapdragon SoC, like QC and some manufacturing defects.
Hello,
I am searching for a phone under 5 inch for current lineage os (and likely with support for next versions). It seems to be nearly unpossible. It is quite hard to check all supported phones for the display screen. Does someone knows if there is somewhere an overview of lineage phones where I can sort or filter the display size? Does someone uses such a phone with lineage?
I use moto e 1St gen condor. 4.3 inch and cheap. Will upgrade from mokee marshmallow as soon as audioFx is fixed or replaced by viper.
Edit: official resurrection remix seems to be the better choice in terms of stable updates.

S4 Mini is good if you are happy with a small midrange phone, but be careful you get a version which has official Linage support ie I9195, i9192, I9190 and NOT variants like i9195L (though it's normally possible to get it running on those but support is limited)
Droid 4
Really happy that I can keep my Droid 4 running through several major version of CM and now Lineage OS 14.1. 4" screen and a nifty sliding keyboard (O where have they all gone?).
I only use it a music server now so I can't speak for it's cell capabilities but it's solid performer anyway.

I own a Wileyfox Swift, as I looked for a Dual SIM device with LTE at an affordable price.
It is 5 inches, which I consider too big now, so I wonder if you found a smaller one in the meantime?
Hi.
Does lg g7 support this feature?
I would like to connect to a external monitor.

I tried my USB to HDMI that I use with my switch and it didn't work. It comes up with a message telling you to use the casting feature.

LG didn't support this on the G6, and I had hoped they would include it here, but I guess they're all in on streaming.

But, it is not the same, if you want to play with your smartphone in the tv, you need hdmi, streaming has much lag.
Lg v30 support this feature.
Lg g7 is fantastic, but without this, it can not be comprared with galaxy s9, p20 pro, iphone x...

Oh. Makes sense that they would've just kept it then. Sadly, LG is not known for it's logical actions. Haha

I'm experiencing the same issue on G7 Thinq and suspected the USB-C to HDMI cable. Is this really just not supported on the G7? They're trying to force us to use a streaming device by excluding this very basic and reliable functionality?

LG has disabled this feature by software.
As you can see in the attached screen, the smartphone detect a displayport adapter, but the tv out is disabled via software.
I have been researching into the kernel source, and I have discovered how they have disabled this feature, I have uploaded the hdmi_Kconfig file from LG v30, and Samsung Galaxy S9, both of them support HDMI out, and LG G7.
There you can see waht I have explained.
If it would have some developeres interested in this device, they could take back this feture to LG G7.
usb c to hdmi cable
When it comes to technology, I think I'm pretty up to date but I was a little behind the curve when it came to HDMI cords and cell phones. I absolutely love my Samsung S8+ and being able to watch videos that I have recorded, pictures I've taken on my television has opened me to a whole new world...... use easyacc usb c to hdmi cable watched movies from my Netflix app from my phone on the television screen. I'm stoked if you can't tell!!!

Had I known this single fact before, I swear I would have never bought LG G7. This is passed Apple's stupidity. I mean what the f LG? Wake the hell up. No more LG **** for me anymore.

So now, is there any developer who had successfully unlocked this feature?

The feature is directly disabled in the kernel. While we have the kernel the source doesn't work.
So does this mean there is a way to enable this feature on the g7. I just updated from an iPhone and have no wifi where I play videos etc for my students. I had the adapter for the smart phone and bought one to fit the USB c but when I plug it in to the HDMI it only charges does not show the screen

Hello!
I am interested in enabling hdmi also.
Any news?
I'm offering a reward! ?
Hi guys, it must be rooted the phone for make the change in the kernel to activate the feature? Or there is an alternative way to enable it?
There is no way to enable it at the moment.
Snapdragon 845 have HDMI as option- vendor have to open HDMI with paid key (same as Windows Home to Windows Pro). Qualcom understand the power of money.
So it is a SW issue-but You can't just change n to y in kernel. It's a clear case for LG. Maybe they can offer a paid solution - but I doubt it.

It seems someone with g710ulm on v10i firmware has managed to connect with a TV using this lenovo usbc to DisplayPort adapter 4X90Q93303.
Can someone with this firmware confirm this? ???
Hi everyone ,
Looking for a new (2018-19) LG model, either global or EU version, that's currently getting development for custom roms and root with following specs:
1. Dual sim 2. Quad Dac 3. Fm radio 4. C-type usb 5. MIL-STD-810G compliant - IP68 and 6. If possible, also wireless charging.
I'd really appreciate if anyone could shed some light on this quest. Kinda troublesome with all these new models LG has brought out in the market .

The V50 's kinda exceeding my budget. I was thinking of somewhere around 300-350$ or less ofc.
Btw ,if my understanding from my readings here is correct, is that the G7 ThinQ is actually supporting the above mentioned requirements, right?

As I said , the v50 is above my budget, plus it's screen size is a bit too big for my taste and it doesn't have FM radio.So, to repeat my question, does the G7 ThinQ current custom rom development support all specs of the device? For e.x. is the dual SIM spec working, among others ?
Or are there any other LG dual SIM devices fully supported?
