Thanks for posting the video. But, YouTube tells me that the current owner of the video doesn't allow viewing on mobiles so I couldn't enjoy it. Could you please change the permissions?

+1 The green camera issue plagues alot of users and it's hardware all the way. You'd be bigger then, well, the big guy if you posted a fix for the camera..
Thanks for support.
I don't understand what the problem with the camera is. Do you have some details to give me ? or a video of the issue ?

Ok i see, but i can't fix that because i don't have the issue on my tab...
if you want i can make a short movie how you can disassembly the camera...
Hi, great video and great timing, my screen cracked yesterday after a "screen first landing from my bed". I already ordered a replacement one and your video gave me great hints on how to dismantle it, however I'm still wondering if anything else is needed to put it back together with the new one. Does the screen comes with some kind of glue on the sides? Any tape that I need to take in consideration? or it should just snap back in place?
Thanks for doing this tutorial and I would appreciate anyone who can help me with these questions.

The video says not available in my country. I am in germany. I would love a nice video on how to take this beast apart and try to fix the camera issue. I press on it and it seems to work but only if I press down hard so maybe something got dissconnected.
Or hell find a place that will fix it, I cant send it to ASUS because of the unlock thing and because I dropped it recentlly but no other damage was done to the tablet though
now just some scratches
Where are y'all finding replacement screens? I haven't had any luck finding just the screen

TRY ON EBAY I BOUGHT ALREADY AND WAITING FOR THE DIGITAL TOUCH SCREEN ALSO
search for "TF201 DIGITIZER" YOU WILL FIND A LOT
hope i help you
I'm aware that they have them on Ebay, dozens of them, but every one that I have seen bought has a screwed up X-axis.
When you install yours make sure to test it BEFORE you take it down.

I think he means to test it before you permanently mount it.
There doesn't seem to be any way to remove a cracked digitizer from the mouning bezel without destroying it. Even though your glass may currently be cracked, I'm sure it still works at least. If you remove (and destoy) your digitizer glass, you won't want to discover that your replacement has the left and right axis reversed.
Disconnect the ribbon cable for existing (cracked) digizer glass. Connect the new digitizer glass. Boot your prime. Make certain that the new glass is the right model and the left/right is correct.
Even easier than that. Compare the rev numbers of the replacment digizier and the existing one. If they are different revs, you'll be hosed.
Thought I'd share. May be useful to some who have had an unfortunate event...
I have not yet ordered from them, but will be soon. And I will report back with a review.
Until then... enjoy..

That's some pretty impressive profit margins, since you can buy the screen+ digitizer for about 3/5 that price on Alibaba.
Nice to see that if someone breaks their charging port it can be fixed for under 10 bucks... Nice one LG if only their software was on track with their hardware.
This is not sarcasm at all btw I am genuinely happy to see that I don't need to be worried bout my charging port.
So, my earpiece isn't working. If I wanted to order the part, would I need to get a whole screen with it?
Interesting. Hope someone can help clarify for me. My OG has a strip across the lower screen that doesn't respond to touch. Obviously a hardware issue. Do you guys think replacing the digitizer would fix it?

I had a strip across my screen when I had an Atrix 4G, and replacing the digitizer fixed it. It should fix yours too.
Sadly, E970 parts seem to be mostly out of stock.
Anyone know if a E975 digitizer/screen + front housing is compatible with a E970 phone?
anywhere a back replacement available coz i got a hairline crack on the back glass ;( so probably need a battery replacement cover i guess and cudnt find it !

I get why ChazzMatt roasts people on here.
That's not what I said. LG made a statement that due to some new capsulation technology in the P-OLED it would be mitigated.
The article refers to the Pixel XL2 screen having burn in. It's the same screen as the V30. I was looking for some sort of confirmation of that.

"Most importantly, using advanced encapsulation and pixel-scanning technology, the burn-in problem that has affected OLED technology in the past has been all but eliminated in the P-OLED technology in LG’s upcoming device."
Not saying this is accurate just answering the question.

There is no proof that the V30 and Pixel 2 XL have "same screen". Same manufacturer, diagonal and number of pixels does not mean "same screen". Google may have chosen to buy cheaper screens in order to increase profits, or maybe LG didn't want (or couldn't because of yeld issues) to deliver their best technology screens to Google.
I'm seeing it...
I started to notice it yesterday while reading an eBook. I'm waiting to see if it gets worse before contacting LG. I have a LG v30 from Verizon.

Sure. I noticed it last night for the first time while reading a book via the Kindle app (black text/white background). It's about 3/4 of the way down from the top of the screen. It's almost like the Kindle app is transparent, but it isn't. Hope that makes sense. I bought the phone the day it came out and have been using it as my daily driver since Oct 5th. Love the device/features. Takes amazing pics and quad DAC is impressive.
Hello everyone. Jumping in here because I am getting a V30 tomorrow. But just wanted to add to this. I have seen people point out that this is not "burn in" but image retention or image persistence. If this is the case, it's not a permanent thing and will probably fix itself the more you use the device. A device would have to be used for a longer period of time to get actual "burn in" I would think.
Well what the best way to prevent burn in? Any ideas?
I just a S8 in the store has very very bad burn in.
Don't put your brightness on 100% like they do in the stores. I keep mine on 60% generally during the day, crank it up to 90ish if I go for a walk and then turn it way down at night. I do that on all my phones and have never had burn in. My sister keeps hers over 90 all the time and always complains about burn in.

I've been using AMOLED Burn-in Fixer on my S7 edge after I got burn-in from Waze. It basically sets up Negative Colors from the accessibility options, as I can tell. the burn in is much better, but not gone (and I really wish Waze would do something about this, as it's probably the only app which will do this).

Here's the image: Taken from my Nexus 5X of the V30 screen, gray wallpaper in preview. You can really see it about 1/3 the way up from the bottom of the screen. That's exactly what I saw yesterday. It's more noticeable when the screen dims. I'm going to reach out to LG and open a case.
Hi to all,
Waiting the LG V30 come to my country and buy it, I see on Reddit that they are people who post that lens crack suddenly without falling! Why? The phone with 900$ have suddenly lens crack without falling for a third time. Why is this happening?
If this continues then better buy iPhone 8 Plus or Note 8...

This was an early worry on the V20 but besides the first report or two, I never remember seeing it come up over at the V20 forum again. Jerry Rig was able to make it crack with pressure but it didn't happen with the V30 in their destruct test for it. I don't want to jinx myself but the glass on my V20 is still perfect but it has also been in a case since day one. Same for the V30, case since day one. But I'm also a photographer and always conscious of my lens. Call it muzzle discipline for cameras.
Frankly, that damage photo from the first link you posted does not look like spontaneous glass breakage to me. That looks like it has been impacted.

I watched about 5 seconds of that video and just couldn't watch it anymore. Why in the heck does he have those awful sunglasses on indoors? What is he hiding? Why does he have the most hideous music in the background. There's better free music out there. And why does his video have to be almost 15 minutes long? I'm not watching 15 minutes of that.
Ok, I made to about 5 minutes in and give up. All I can say is that A) I've never had an issue with my V20 despite that having been an issue with early units (I have an early unit of both the V20 and V30) and knock on wood that I'm not jinxing myself with my V30.
B) If you search anything, and I mean anything, you will find many examples of anything in the world. The days of the Googlewhack are long gone. The question is what percent are having this issue. This phone has been out how long and no one on this actual board has reported this issue. Right now all we have are a couple of reddit threads with one being highly suspect.
It's safe to say if your searches for such a problem turn up nothing to the point that you have to query a device forum as to whether anybody is having such a problem, then there is no problem.
One persons' problem can be greatly magnified -- 100x or 1000x, who knows -- and if it's happened to him three times, then we can all infer the problem isn't with the phone.
I Remember this was a worry of the Nexus 6p. With the glass visor cracking. I had my Nexus 6p on launch day. Never had a problem with the glass visor. Even after replacing the battery, which you have to remove the visor to do. I'm not worrying about my V30 doing this.

this issue has happened for quite a few lg phones (including the g6, v30, v20, etc) and the issue is excluded from warranty replacement. even though the issue isn't from the user, they count it as user damage.
if you look at the crack pattern, it looks more like stress cracking than impact or external pressure.
the way the glass cracks is very consistent, even between phone models, and the majority of the cases i've seen occur without any knowledge of the cause. (the guy in the video had a beefy case that kept the lens away from surfaces, and the phone hasn't been dropped).
if you google camera lens breaking on an lg phone model, you will see quite a few cases, and none of them are covered under warranty.
i think in the v30 it is like $85 to replace it, and you will have to have a backup phone in the meantime.
there have been a couple threads on reddit showing a bunch of them cracked in a similar way, with no other visible damage on most of the phones.
i hope it doesn't happen to me. i don't have time to deal with that bull****, especially if it isn't covered under warranty.
I like the V30 and this is just scared me. How I say they are no LG Official service here, and im planing to buy from other country.
I have one my friend and he is in Dubai now, and I see rhe LG V30 128GB model V300S. Do you know something about this model V300S?
And I think it is unlocked, so will this phone network work worldwide ? Im living in Montenegro, And in Dubai will be very good discount price then in EU. So will this phone (gsm, 3g, 4g) work im my country?

Are you sure that Dubai, UAE gets only the LG V30+ (plus is 128 GB)? Is it something like LG V300S (might be single SIM) or LG V300SU (might br dual SIM) ? As for root or unlocked bootloader like the LG G6 or most LG flagships is the single SIM international version (LG H870) and the (LG US997).
As for the LG V30 it's the same for unlocked bootloader i.e (LG H930) & (LG US998). I don't think other variants will be unlocked.
If LG G6 is sold in Dubai it LG (H870S) that is not bootloader unlocked , i'm not sure if there's a LG H930(S) in the LG V30. Did you mean a LG V300K instead of S?
I have this.model the v300s comed to me from Korea and i live in Romania

I wear sunglasses in my videos sometimes because I have Graves Disease. Something I've never even needed to explain until now. So kudos to you.
The video is 15 minutes because it takes some time to explain what happened, the background on my purchase, as well as the results of my contact with LG.
Cant fault you for hating the music. I listen to metal but tried to choose something accessible and not commonly used.
If you took the time to read the comments on my video you'd see many people reporting this as very much a real problem.

From the v20 lens breaks that i've seen they were mostly impact. Gunshot like. Including the spontaneous ones where the user swears nothing happened prior to the crack
What i surmise happens is, since the lens is tempered glass, its strong but if damaged will remain damaged without showing it. So if it gets impacted you check, hmm, nothing you forget about it. But the lens is compromised now and over time will give way sometime in the future and appear spontaneous
i hope it doesn't happen to me. i don't have time to deal with that bull****, especially if it isn't covered under warranty.

Isn't covered by warranty and the worst time to have it crack is within six months from launch. Service centres charge a lot that is if they even have the components to fix. One v20 user i know ordered the parts of aliexpress couple of months after. he did have a habit of dropping the phone though. he figured in the end what happened was it fell between the bed and night table and must have got knocked somehow
My 1-month old LG V30 phone is having the same Camera Lens crack issue.
I think this is a design flaw, we should start a class action law suit

i think that you might be going too far.
but, first of all it is NOT the lens that cracks, but the camera glass COVER ...
i came here because i was courious how the lens cracks having OIS.
the replacement glass is very cheap and not that hard to install
it can even crack because of differences in temperature, or bending in pocket and applying pressure on the edge of the glass cover. there are SO many reasons which could cause this BESIDE dropping the entire phone.
it could crack if you use it without case and putting it on a table because the camera is above the back cover.
literally it cannot break if you put your phone on a stand and leave it there, watching it and waiting for the camea glass cover to break and that's why my money are on bending in your pocket
Hello friends, I am having problems with the main camera of my LG V30. When I open the camera it looks blurry and very bad, I do not know if it's because of the software or something, so I'm trying to try another firmware to see if that's it. If anyone has any ideas, please. I bought it on Ebay, the truth is almost new, everything is fine, it's just that little problem with the camera.
Same, problem. But I don't know how to solve it
Can you provide some sample images from main and wide angle camera shooting the same object.
Same issue, ATT from ebay, images worse than LG G6

Are you talking about ACTUAL picture taken or the camera viewfinder image before the picture is taken?
Also, what firmware version are you on?
This guy seems to be talking about the image he sees BEFORE the picture is actually taken:

Whereas the pictures themselves are probably great.
Sorry to hear. I have an ATT from Ebay and no issues, thankfully.
Have you tried a different camera app? There are numerous ports of the google camera app for the LG phone(s). You can try this one if you like, from my google drive: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1vXvtN7ZkUzahMEbSWKzwHSd68QRdp257
It's the NOHEX_MGC_6 version, it has night sight abilities.
But... any other camera app will tell you if it's the app or the lens. If it's the lens... well that's very unfortunate.

This issue is visible mainly on pictures taken, its also observable while taking them. Its worst on wide angle cam.
Is the custom camera app able to handle wide angle cam?
I dont have the phone on me, I will add info when i get back home.

Yes the google port camera app does do wide angle. But! I'd honestly suggest first thing you do is download any basic camera app from playstore. All you want to do initially is find out if the problem is the app or the lens. And (other) camera app will tell you that.
ONCE! you know which of the 2 is the problem, THEN proceed from there. I wouldn't go flashing other firmware, which is a pretty involved thing to do, when you could simply get another cam app on it and discover which of the 2 possibilities is the problem.
Cheers

tested another app with slightly different output, but overall not as good as my g6, so this points to be a deeper level of an issue (hw or some driver?)
refer to comparison of v30 and g6 for standard and wide angle (try to guess which one is which, hint is v30 is worse in both)

Yes no doubt, the V30 pics are less detailed / overall less appealing.
As ChazzMatt asked, what firmware are you running? ** IF ** it's a normal LG rom, for that type of device (the V30), then it's pretty apparent there's something wrong with the lenses.
I've owned a few G6's myself, am familiar with it's pics and (camera) specs, the V30 has better specs and (in my experience) better results also.
Honestly, the pics you indicate are from the V30 (from the specs it's easy to know which is which), look as though they are from a much inferior phone / camera.
Is there any chance you have them labeled wrong? One thing to keep in mind, with either the f2.4 or f1.9 wide angle, you need quite a lot of light to get a good picture. It does not have auto focus. Focus is set to infinity by default. So a lot of light is needed for a good pic.
As bizarre as it may sound, your pics might be considered typical of the 2, if the labels were exactly wrong!
Sorry, that's all I can think at the moment.

sw version is h93120d, kernel 4.4.78, build opr1.170623.026 - is any of that what you are asking about?
and yes, the labels are correct, they are autogenerated by zoner and I just screenshot-ed those with the actual pics.
the ebay seller (US) mentioned that the phone is under LG warranty, any idea if I can verify that or if will be able to RMA it at LG in other country (CZ, got my phone a business trip)?

I'd call LG and ask them about warranty / out of country repairs. I've never needed repairs from them so no idea how that will go.
Yes you're obviously using official LG firmware on the device, but that's not the latest available? I'd update to the latest version and hope, as you were originally thinking, it may be a driver in your version firmware? If there's no version available for update (from settings), then consider using LGUP? Downloading the most recent kdz is time consuming but might be worth a shot...
Look for directions to use LGUP, it's not bad. Need a Windows machine to run that software though.
