LOLOL .... Sarcastic & Snarky ... I likey.
Although funny, here's my take on this topic.
I'm no longer caring when it'll come out - I'm getting used to it the way it is, and knowing Verizon, they won't change all that much in it anyway. Sure some improvements, but all in all, it won't be like the old days when you'd spend 3 days fixing and tweaking the whole phone all over again as these days you're finished in a few hours ... only to start wondering when the next update is coming.
I do hope you get the BT issue straightened out before hand. I've nothing wrong with mine so it might be more of a BT settings issue to get it to work right over an update.
I send email to LG with same questions, no answer yet
Did everything what LG told me to do with Bluetooth in our previous conversation with them,no luck and I change my phone by 14 days return policy same issue with the other one (BT)
I wouldn't plan on Android M until around April. That's when we got Lollipop.

HAPPY!!. I have to say the Z3v has been the most solid phone I have owned out of all the ones I have had and that goes all the way back to that turd the Eris. I really dont see anything in the market thats worth switching to. I gave up on rooting my stuff a couple years ago so Im still without the ability to make calls and surf internet at the same time but that is the ONLY drawback to this phone. Very happy I left samsung for this phone.

You don't need to root to get advanced calling. Flash the latest ftf (.509) and you'll be on 5.0.2 There is a workaround that should get advanced calling working.
One of the reasons I dropped Rooting and Roms was it always had some bug or tick that showed up in reliability or I would get busy and be so behind my Ronm was out of date and there was n more support.
Is This .509 going to put me right back there again cause I love the way this phone never fuggs up.
Over a year in and I'm just livid at "Big Head Red" smh!! No support on this phone whatsoever and a broken promise on Lollipop... remember these words... Lollipop update in Early 2015?!?
Granted, I know the update promise was from Sony. FWIW - I heard the update has been available for some time now, but "Big Head Red" doesn't care to act upon it.
Lesson learned - I will never buy a carrier phone again! A Nexus 6p has been ordered and very soon, waiting for software updates will be a thing of the past. Shame on Big Head Red because the Z3v is a really good phone.
Agreed!!!
Traded mine In over the weekend. Had the phone a year and just got pissed and couldn't stand it.
Had to pay 40 dollars to hit 75% on my z3v then they ate the 150 I had left.
Got a note 5 and it is a tremendous upgrade. Nearly the same size with .5 inch more screen. Battery life is consistent where my z3v would get 7 hrs sot then sometimes 2.

Voice over Wi-Fi, it just got released on vzw advanced calling 2..0 but only for Samsung S6. Sony Z3/compact has marshmallow already,we don't even have an official lollipop release.

Voice over WiFi has been out much much longer from T-Mobile. You should be able to tell that Samsung had Verizon up to their necks with bags of cash to have priority on their flagship phones.
Sony's Z3 series having marshmallow is a test run, and of course I understand there still isn't an official Lollipop release for the Z3v. Regardless really, blaming Verizon is what we've been doing and we're still on it, so why bother to stop complaining now?
Anyone hearing ANYTHING about this update? Not even on T-Mo's software update site is it mentioned. I realize the phone has only been out for several weeks, but shouldn't there even be a mention of it? The G4 and G3 updates are complete - I can't imagine it will take much longer - I hope?
With carriers if you are anticipating an update you will turn old and gray...i've learned the best bet is to not think about it and be pleasantly surprised when it releases
if you get any phone outside of a nexus and expect timely updates...that's your fault (not you specifically...just in general)

I can't argue wit that, but T-Mobile has been pretty good about being transparent with updates. Oh well....
As far I know there is still a problem with phone not sending or received mms's on marshmallow and tmobile.

I don't think LG has announced an update for the V10. We'll have to wait for them first...they said it was coming in the next 6 months if I recall correctly.
Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk
Isn't the V10 basically a G4? So if G4 is done, v10 should be shortly.
this is just me but i think they have something planed for the v10 they arent saying, i mean the second screen has so much it could do but it just seems like they didnt finish it. has anyone actually realized that there is a setting to set a background image on the second screen it lets you crop the back ground and everything just doesnt apply to the screen. even sync is different than what i'm use to i mean it doesnt kill the battery like on my note for i never left it on it was a 4 hour difference in battery life now its like 15 to 20 minutes different.
LG said something about early 2016 for the V10 update. Will try to find a reference.
considering newest rumors say that g3 update is comming mid dec. and v10 was originaly slated for late 2015, early 2016, you can expect it(going off rumors and leaks) that it'll happen around end december throughout jan.
i have tmo. and my g3 was updated to lolipop earlier this year around march.. LG said they want to get marshmellow out faster then lolipop was.

I can not figure out for the life of me why this is an issue on my Verizon V10. I have an alpine radio in my car, and whenever play music with my V10 to the radio over bluetooth, it skips all the time and it gets very very annoying. Sometimes a restart fixes this, sometimes clearing the cache for the bluetooth fixes this, but it always comes back. I do not know if it does this with calls as well. It does it with every bluetooth device I have connected to it. My radio being the most used one. I have done a factory reset, and hat has done nothing for me. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have the same issue and cannot figure it out. Quite frustrating. Please update if you figure anything out and I will do the same.
I had issues. I ended up calling Verizon as I had issues even installing updates! I had to factory reset a crap load of times and it was pissing me off. I have since contacted LG. The phone was under factory warranty so I sent it back to them and they "re-calibrated my gps" and re-provisioned the phone to meet factory specifications. Now 2 weeks in it seems to have fixed the Bluetooth issue. Hoping it doesn't come back. By the way, this is the second LG V10. The first one was so bad Verizon swapped out the phone for me.
It's a software issue with 6.0 which was fixed with 6.0.1 which was released by Google in December of 2015 which we haven't gotten 14 months later.

So it is a software issue huh? The way it acts would make it seem like a hardware problem, but anything is possible with this thing apparently.
I have the same troubles too. It will cut out for a second her and there. In my car AND with my LG Tones. I could be playing music or a podcast. I could have the phone less than a foot away with no obstructions and it still cuts out. Pretty Suresh it's not a hardware issue.

I actually went through the problem of taking my radio out and extending the Bluetooth antenna thinking it might have been the problem. I am glad I am not the only one with this problem. I am a couple weeks out of warranty now too so I will have to live with it.

I keep reading on different sites that nougat may be around the corner. If that is the case then I hope it gets fixed.
To the best of my knowledge it was fixed in 6.0.1 which was released 4 months BEFORE the V10 got 6.0.
Ya never know, it could have been broken in 7.0 and I HIGHLY DOUBT we'll get 7.1.1.

Maybe it's just placebo, but after pondering/testing this exact question since I got this phone the day it released, seems to me that closing chrome has the most positive influence on bluetooth quality. I tend to close everything but messenger and jetAudio just to make myself feel better. Also noticed that poweramp didn't work as well as jA under any circumstances. Test your running apps, test your music app. Just my .02
Had big expectations for this phone.. Bluetooth issues, screen burn-in, no root (yet), no oem nougat still, kind of let down
Loved this phone at first but just cant keep it on anymore. Excellent condition box and all accessories up for grabs

I'm confused, what are you looking to do?
Verizon has extended their official warranty time. It took 4 hours but I finally was told this by the frazzled tech I refused to let off the phone until there was a solution. Eventually I was given to a supervisor who immediately had a new( sorta) V10 on its way for free. I'm using it right now. Call them tell them you bootlooped and you'll have a new v10 for free. It will be running 6.0 but what can you do?

Well as of right now you can check out my thread in the general section. I'm running into a few issues with replacing init. The phone reboots when you do and as of right now I have no clue how to change it. Anyways, I asked a guy to try something for me and i'm waiting to hear back.

I've been keeping an eye out on all your threads since this new V10 with 6.0 on it arrived.
Thanks for all the time and effort you have and are putting into the rooting of this phone on 6.0.
It's guys like yourself that provide hope and help to guys like myself that as of today do not have the knowledge to do so.
I've yet to find a pledge site for root on 6.0 if I'm missing something let me know. I'm always good for some money thrown to whomever obtains root. Pledged and paid Tungkick for his root of 5.1.1.
Thanks again your work is appreciated
Ok an update with my Verizon LG v10, I was told to bad about the phone not working anymore but you still have to pay for it, but*they can allow*$10 a month off my bill until payed in full. Didn't think I would ever leave Verizon but they just changed my mind.
Whoa hold on man don't let some douche bag tech at Verizon tell you that.
I got the same story the first 2 calls to them I made regarding my V10 bootloop. Both calls ended by me telling the tech that I didn't need his help and I'd be calling back to speak to another tech who might give a sh!t.
I did call back and on my 3rd call stayed on the phone so long that it was closing time for the call center and at that time was given to a higher up, Idk but management of some type or authority who told me directly that within that week Verizon had implemented replacing Verizon V10's with the bootloop issue by a warranty extension of 3 months and soon it would be up to a full extra year warranty like LG itself has done. I was told that the techs mostly don't even know this yet but they would soon. Then I was sent out a brand new v10 which I'm using right now.
Don't let them bully you, I know it's not easy to stay cool and remain or even gain a friendly conversation with those guys but I swear that I'm not blowing smoke and they will give you a new phone for free. It was a Friday so it took more than overnight for me but 2 days later I was good.
There's also going through LG who will give you a free shipping label to send in your phone to be fixed or replaced. You can apply online at LG's main website. It will take longer than Verizon and you not only bought it through them but pay them good money every month so I would and did make damn sure they took care of it.
Hopefully this helped if you need any other info pm me maybe my replacement documents have something in them that you could use as irrefutable proof that they have to give you a phone.
Sorry for the long winded b.s. but I get heated when a company so large that bilks us customers constantly tries to do it even when their wrong and only because their lazy dicks that don't care about helping you out by actually doing anything other than straight saying "no" automatically.

No problem, let me know if they give you more trouble and I can black out any sensitive info on my Verizon receipt/statement of them doing exactly what they have told you they won't do. It outlines the policy specifically and has enough information directly related to the problem You could forward it a long and turn the tide of their treatment towards you in a hurry.

My v10 died suddenly yesterday, and i logged into VZW and chatted with them and told them it had the boot-loop of death issue and they knew about it and ordered a replacement with free overnight shipping. They did say the phone couldn't have water or physical damage otherwise I would get charged for the replacement. It just sucks that root isnt available for the new software that will be running on it, not yet anyway.

At least they took care of it appropriately. Yes not having root on the same phone that you owned previously and had root on is trying.
That and the nagging thoughts in the back of my mind about when this one will bootloop on me. They sent me a phone that truly was in amazing condition, I cannot see anything that doesn't look brand new anywhere and I've had the loop out inspecting it. That means nothing if LG decides its time to remind me that Life's Good over and over again...
Good news is it does sound like root and boot loader unlock is on its way. Whether it bricks my sh!t or not I don't care. It's a light at the end of an otherwise very dark tunnel.

The maps app was acting up. Had me about a mile from where I actually was and wouldn't track me on the road. Also the phone would get hot and lose 4g signal all the time. I did a chat and said that I had heard about the warranty being extended due to hardware issues demonstrated by the class action lawsuit filed in California. My replacement V10 will be delivered tomorrow. I could have chosen a different phone but I like the V10.
Thanks for tip about the extended warranty.

Was really hoping for the V10 to be updated to nougat
I have the original v10 vs990 from November 2015. Originally wanted the nexus 6 but it was way too big for my daily lifestyle and work. So I got talked into what I'm currently on vs990. Got marshmallow 6.0 update on February 2016. I'm on TQTHL extra battery pack with case. Never had any problems but I do a factory reset every couple of months because of weird battery issues. I will never buy an LG phone again. The worst call quality, battery i currently get is okeh since I have the extra TQTHL. I hate the second screen. I miss notifications all the time if I have it on silent and second screen doesn't help unless you are staring directly at your phone. I wish they had a blinking notification for second screen. Bluetooth connection horribly skips. Also the lack of this phone in XDA community, no ROOT! I do like the 64 gig on board storage and sometimes camera is decent. Just waiting for contract to end so I can move on.
I am praying mine does so I can get a different phone. I have insurance on it to cover it after the warranty. The phone is ok but battery life sucks. I have to charge my phone 2 to 3 times a day just from texting and I don't text that much. Maybe a hundred texts a day, no phone calls, no data use. If my friend video chats me forget it, dead from 100% charge in 30 min.
By 2pm I am at 40% battery. by 5:30 im at 15%.
So those of you that received another V10, was it a certified like new or a brand new mint V10? Also was there any mention anywhere if they were out of stock of the V10s could you get a different one?

Its to bad you didn't hold Verizon responsible.. They are who sold you the phone and in no uncertain terms had their dirty little fingers all up in the phone originally made by LG so IMO are the first who need be and are responsible for any problems.
Apparently they feel this also replacing V10's across the board now.
Sorry LG was a pain and thanks for the post and updates.
That's why LG will be out of the phone business or change how they manage it.

What build are you running? Is that annoying screen rotation issue still present?
I asked Asus customer support, they say
"The development team did not provide us with an exact date for update releases however they should be out during late 2nd quarter to early 3rd quarter. They are working their best to finish testing and apply the updates so they can be released for Q2."
So don't expect the update to come anytime soon.... Don't believe any timeline Asus gives you, you will only get dissapointed when they break their promise again. One day we'll get the update, maybe.
