I didn't get any ear phones with mine so I was wondering if anybody else got any. I have AT&T.
Sprint version here and nothing either. Cant remember the last time my android device came with earbuds
Sent from my LGLS992 using Tapatalk
ok, I thought I got ripped off. The last phone I bought was the Samsung S5. It came with the earbuds.
Samsung is still including headphones with their devices including the s7 and s7 edge, however I have not gotten a pair of LG headphones through the last several purchases, LG g3, G4, V10, and now G5

Loving it so far and much better than my previous phones (G2, G3, G4, iPhone 6, Nexus 5X,) It's incredibly comfortable to hold and use - fits perfectly in my hand and does not show fingerprints, has good grip, just feels right. The top of the screen has a slight curve to it which is really nice swiping down for notifications.
Performance-wise it's a beast.
Gonna keep if for 10 days and re-assess. I almost bought a 6P but grabbed this instead, mainly because of replacement battery, up to 2TB expandable storage - it was the last one left and the 3 staff members had nothing but negative things to say about it at the Best Buy Mobile where I picked it up. None of them had ever used the phone. They just kept asking why don't I just get an S7 or iPhone? lol

That bothers me as well when people have not used the phone. I'm really on the fence since I'll be changing carrier as well. I'm using the Nexus 6P right now. Pretty nice phone I might add.

Never used any of the Note devices before and only glanced at them in the store. I just knew it had the features I wanted in a phone, so I pre-ordered. Yet when it arrived yesterday I don't think my mind was prepared for just how big of a device this is. I came from a Gnex so it's quite the change. The speed on this device is incredible though, love that. Don't love that it looks like I'm holding a brick to my face when talking.
I find I'm having trouble finding places to keep on my person without it looking too obtrusive in pockets. Any thoughts fellow Note users? I'm seriously considering returning it for a smaller device, like a LG G2...
P.S. Hell no to a holster / belt clip

I went from Gnex to Note II to the 3. I know what you're feeling. Honestly give it a day or two. You'll be used to the size before you even realize it. You'll pick up your Gnex and wonder how you ever used a phone so small.
As nice as the G2 is, this her Note 3 is one beast of a phone. Give it some time. I swore I'd never get rid of my Note 2, and only did so to get the 3. This is honestly the best phone I've ever used and could never see myself using anything but the Note line.

You will need more than a day. Give it a week or 2...by that time the device will be normal.

Trust me just give it time and it will seem normal size to you. I went from a note 2 to an HTC one and although the phone was nice I hated how small it was. At least in my opinion everything else is too small after having the note. I usually keep it in my back pocket.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk now Free
I am coming from S3 and the Note is much larger, it will be a more of a challenge to keep it in a pants pocket but hopefully it won't be too much of an adjustment, and I plan to get a very thin case to go with it. But the positives of having the larger screen far outweigh this minor inconvenience.
Coming from an S3 I have to say the size doesn't bother me at all. I don't have big hands, but it just seems to feel right.

Yeah, I got a spigen Neo-Hybrid case but it feels too slim and doesn't make me feel like the device will be safe if I drop it from ANY height.
As for the pros of a larger screen, I have a Nexus 7 (which now feels pointless). So that serves to feed my need for a large screen. I just can't help but feel for my go - to service, it should be more...compact.

I feel like the ergonomics of the device are good, it still feels like a chore to stuff in a secure place when out and about though.
I guess I'll give it more than 2 days. We have what, 14 days to return if we're unhappy? Here's hoping I adjust. I really do like the features and the stylus. Although many have said you tend to stop using the stylus after a while.

Honestly though I don't think I have any issues with my phone. I've checked it over and over. I'm really impressed with the reception. I can't remember the last phone I had that got this good of reception.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
This is almost the perfect phone. While many things can be better (e.g. smaller bezels, an even better camera, this that and the other), i am not as picky as some users are. I think the camera is very nice. The speakers are great. The audio jack is good to slightly better than good. The screen is beautiful. The device is amazingly beautiful. Battery has been close to very good. Lots of great things.
The only issue i have with my phone and its barely that, is the screen shifts to a greyish blue when not viewed within 10 degrees horizontal/vertical. Not a deal breaker in the slightest.
and totally agree with the above post. Reception has been very nice. Data, too.
No problems with mine. Tested everything that others complained about and no issues.
No defects here.
None here yet
Perfect 6P here. The best phone I've ever had....
Works as I expected. Honestly, reading all of these defect posts here and on Reddit made me a bit paranoid. Like I'm looking to see if there's even the slightest discrepancy in flushness of the bottom back plastic plate and the rest of the aluminium body. Or exaggerating the volume difference between the top and bottom speakers when I run a stereo audio test. It's nothing worth getting worked up about!
I'm happy with it as long as I can keep it scratch-free until my case arrives!
The only issue I have had with mine is that the back access port isn't completely levels. It's raised on one side. Though the phone is going to spend the rest of its life in a case so it doesn't matter. Apart from that and the paranoia that my phone will never be updated its the best phone ive owned.
Honestly, the best phone I've ever had. I switched from iPhone 6 to a used LG G3 earlier this year. My Nexus 6P is perfection. Utter bliss. I'm actually in a state of continuous geekgasm.

What makes so much of a difference in your comparison,,did you root it?
Still no zerolemon extended battery means I am not really "invested" into this phone and the fact that I cannot use the fingerprint scanner (I have tmobile) if I have a case on the phone is still frustrating.
I am ultimately going to switch to the note 6 when it arrives but I am pondering switching to the S7 edge for the time being. I had a note 4 edge and liked it, however, going from the note 2, note 3, note 4, V10 I am worried about the size of the S7 edge.
The always on screen of the S7 and the relative uselessness (customization and such) of the V10's 2nd screen means the only thing I am really going to miss is the dual front camera. Other things about my V10 have just been pissing me off lately, like requiring a restart for the phone to begin fast charging.
Not a rant session, just surprised I am considering a change to an S series and wondering if anyone else had made such a change and how you feel.

Zerolemon came out yesterday.
For what it's worth, I don't think I could ever go back to such a "small" phone! I'll stick with phablet size! (I'd buy a 7 inch if someone would make one that was worthy! I almost always use a headset and it would still fit in most of my pockets....)

Almost preordered the Tmo S7 Edge...but saw this V10. I'm very happy with it. Its my first flagship device.
I got the V10 the first day it was out and was pretty satisfied. But there is just something "off" about it. Coming from the best phone ever, the Note 3, I was happy to see the V10 was a spiritual successor to the N3. I also was able to cash in on the extra battery and charger, and a 200gb microSD which will obviously be used with my new S7 Edge. I still have the Note 3 in my room to control all my devices and AC so losing the IR blaster in the S7 isn't as big a deal. Little things like the fingerprint scanner not working with a case, text input after a call being super slow, weirdness with Wifi calling and sending texts/mms with no service. I'm also a huge fan of a physical home button, which I only realized after it was gone. Camera is great on the V10 but all reviews are saying the S7 is at least equal to if not better. Second screen was pretty cool at first but being an LCD instead of an AMOLED turned me off with the bleeding that occurred on the side of the 2nd screen. Speaker quality was an issue as well.
Not worth the downgrade.
I ordered a silver S7 edge from tmobile. I love my LGV10 but with its flaky data connection, headphone jack issues and lackluster screen I went back to samsung. Plus, where the hell is marshmallow? I will use it as my work phone as the manual settings for camera is top notch. Unless the S7 offers the same.
I personally don't feel the need to switch.. Ir blaster is a life saver for me.. Plus I like switching batteries since I am a power user.. Going to to stick with the v10 for at least one more year.

Pulled the trigger and ordered it. The inability to use key features like the finger print scanner and the fact that you can open the camera but not take a photo for 3 seconds on top of the screen bleed just put me over the edge.
Ill use my 200gb SD in my S7 edge and will figure out how I want to manage the battery (worst case is I buy a battery case for anticipated use).
I am thinking on switching myself to s7 edge. I think they should up date this t-mobile V10 but I am tired of waiting so i guess I will jump soon as the edge is in the stores. This is supposed to be a Flagg ship phone but it's never been updated in close to 6 months of being released.
If I do switch to the S7/Edge, I'll miss the DAC. It's so awesome on this phone.

Sold my V10 this morning and my S7 Edge will be here next week, I got fed up of waiting for LG to finally get round to MM and to the Bootloader Unlock they promised for the H960A
I don't get postings like this. How is it relevant to a phone? Why all the discussions every time a new phone comes to market... Hey will you upgrade to G5, S7 G6 S8? You're obviously not sure if you should update. Then don't do it.
100%
Because of:
Bad software support.
Locked Bootloader.
Shame on you LG, our LG V10 H960a Still dont get any update
The LG v10 is rootable on tmobile which brought this phone to life. Battery is solid and changing the DPI is awesome. Camera is super hard to beat on this phone, especially in dark places like a bar or nightclub. the bigger screen is prob the best part of it.

It's also funny how they bring up "Locked Bootloader" HuH? Umm LG didn't lock the bootloader because it want to. It locks it because the carrier wants it locked. The AT&T V10 has a locked bootloader and so will the Samsung S7 from AT&T.
Thread was helpful - it was also posted in the s7e forums. Being "unsure" does not mean you should not make an attempt to determine one way or the other. Perhaps these threads always pop up because it is a valid question? Why participate if you don't have any feedback one way or the other? I have ordered the s7e and will update with impressions after using it and no longer having my v10.
I'm looking to move on from the Z3v in the near future. I'm curious what phones others have moved on to. I'm looking at the Moto G4 Plus possibly with 4GB RAM and 64 GB on board.

I moved onto the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, but that was because of a BOGO deal last year.
Are you locked down to Verizon or do you have another carrier? If I were you being on Verizon, I'd take advantage of this offer today: https://www.verizonwireless.com/smartphones/moto-z-play-droid/
The Moto Z is a truly modular phone that LG failed for its G5 to become. This is the Play version, but I'd rather much prefer the Force version as it has a bigger battery, better camera, and shatterproof screen tech. Either version comes with 32GBs, which isn't a problem to deal with when you can have expandable memory. It's not waterproof like the Z3v, but it's still splash resistant so I think streaming it in the sink won't do any harm if you want a quick clean. lol

Appreciate the response. I have an S7 for work which I really like, and I'm tracking the Edge on Swappa. I do like this phone. Unfortunately, I am locked to VZ, and that Moto Z Play Droid offer, which I was on the verge of ordering yesterday, is for new lines only...so regular price is $17/mo ($408 total) and that is just too rich for what I consider a "compromise" phone. I can get a mint condition S7 on Swappa for $330 or so, which is clearly superior.

Oh, it's always those fine print words that gets you. I forgot to even think that you have to get a new line to take advantage of the discounted price. If I read and knew about it, I wouldn't have recommended it to you.
For a mint condition S7, that's pretty good for $330. The flat version allows you better accessorizing like tempered glass and more variety of cases. Definitely make a go for it.
I tried out the LG G6 for a week. Then, I got on Ebay and I ordered a new, in box Z3v. Why? Because this phone cannot be beat. I'd move to AT&T and get a newer Xperia if it wasn't such a hassle or cost so much. After my screen kept registering a touch (after 3 years of working fine) I had to replace my original Z3v. I could keep the LG G6. It just wasn't $600 worth of improvement. In fact, the lack of the front facing stereo speakers was so annoying that that's what did it in for me. Maybe it was faster (I couldn't notice). Maybe it was on a newer Android version (There were a few neat improvements there.) Maybe it had a better camera (Again, after using Xposed to set my default auto to 20MP - I couldn't notice it.) Maybe it has better resolution (It must just be me but I couldn't see any improvement from full 1080 on the Z3v versus the LG G6. Maybe my eyes just can't see pixels any smaller than 1080).
So - to make a long story short- I walk into to Verizon to turn in my LG G6 before I couldn't and they were like "why?" And I was like because it's worse than what I replaced. I got what I had had on Ebay for $120 and I'm perfectly happy with it. They were like "What was it?" And I said a Sony Z3v and they were like "Yeah, you Sony people love your phones, don't you."
Yes, yes we do.
The front facing stereo speakers, flawless performance and still excellent battery life are hard to walk away from. Keeping it until another phone with stereo front facing speakers is available. Too bad people gave this phone such a bad rap an Verizon didn't support it. It was/is the perhaps the best phone Verizon possibly ever carried.

My options are a little limited on Verizon for a replacement... don't like Samsung curved edge devices and Moto mods are not my thing.

I have the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. The S8/S8+ curves are perfection because the S7 Edge's are way too curvey, but I guess I'll wait to upgrade later.
That's pretty great you still have 5 hours of SOT. I'm not getting anywhere near that unless I just watch movies on my S7 Edge because of how poorly optimized Samsung is with their software. I only find it problematic that the Z3v can't go into Marshmallow because the 801 chips are supposed to be able to do it. Doze mode is really helpful with that.
The Note 8 is a definite must with all its bells and whistles. The Pixel 2 is something I would have to see when they announce it because the Pixel 1's design language looks bland. The G6 seems like the reasonable upgrade from the Z3v, but the UI is different for my taste and you have to be weary of LG's bootloop issue.
I've moved on to the Note 8.
I have the S8+, but the edges and corners are too rounded. The extras, like the dual camera, more RAM and the Spen are great. I definitely love the form factor of the Note 8 over the S8+.
I am NOT a fan of the beveled edges! And the lack of stereo speakers is tough to take on such expensive models that are otherwise so feature rich.
Meanwhile, I am buying new batteries, adhesive gaskets and glass backs for both Z3Vs, which are in brand-new shape.

Aha, I've moved onto the Note 8. Once on the Note, I don't think I could ever go back to another smartphone. The S Pen is a jewel and the form factor is definitely a step up above the S7 Edge I had before and the S8/S8+. Albeit it is quite a tall phone though.
My Z3V is just sitting on my desk, reverted to factory image and all. Why buy new parts in repairing it though?
The batteries have crapped out. To replace them is a nightmare that involves removing the glass back with a heat gun. On videos I've seen, the adhesive gasket is unsalvageable. And since the back is glass, I figure there is a good chance of breaking it.
The parts are cheap, and both of my Z3Vs are in perfect shape with their boxes.
I'm fondly recalling my z3v while I enjoy writing this post with the S pen on my Noto 8. Ressurection of the Z3V is really all about the stereo speakers!
I can't believe how laggy and how horrible this thing scores on benchmarks. I am getting 118k on AnTuTu and 1200/3200 in Geekbench. Worse than the G5. I wiped it and ran the tests again with the same results. About three hours into ownership and I am totally disappointed. It's probably going back to TMobile.
I think mine is way too narrow also. Feels like a 5" inch phone. Thought it would be way wider.

Why ? A 18:9 has less screen area than a 16:9 with the same diag measurement. This has been noted in reviews of the phone.
As noted in this review, the total screen area is actually a little larger than the iPhone 7 plus and in a smaller body, but still less total screen area than a 5.7" phone with a 16:9 ratio.

For some odd reason the nav bar is absolutely enormous, even in small display mode, making the usable area of the screen quite a bit less than 5.7, making it feel much more like 5.2/౩. If it weren't for the always on display this thing would already be back in the box.
I'm assuming you guys have not taken an update, if there even is one. In order to preserve whatever root method comes about first?
I disabled updates.

Idk it felt slow and as you said, benchmarks are way less than those others with an SD821

Yea I score way more than that on my v20, once you root and remove the bloat you guys will be fine. For the ones complaining of size have you held the v20, that maybe the phone for ya.

My G6 feels faster than my G4. I almost got the V20 but it didn't have wireless charging. I got a wireless charging sticker for the G4. I'll try to get use to this odd 5.7" screen size.
The G6 really reminds me of my old 5" HTC DNA with Verizon that was the 1st phone to have wireless charging back in like 2012.

After a full days use on my T-Mobile LG G6, it's definitely not as buttery as my Pixel but performance is good enough for an Android device running last year's silicon. You can tell the software isn't optimized for the SD821 like it is on the Pixel. The Pixel is by far the smoothest phone I've ever used.
So far the only thing that bugs me is the uneven LCD screen, the bottom half is warmer than the top which triggers my OCD like crazy and I see it every time on a white background. Brings back memories of my OnePlus One days where I had to exchange 4 different times to get a half way decent screen.
I'm getting really good battery life so far which is a good sign and it charges way faster than my Pixel it seems. Camera so far has been pretty meh... I took a few night pictures and they come out better on my Pixel.
So far, Pixel to me is still the king, I'll most likely return this thing and try the Galaxy S8. If that doesn't blow me away, I'm hanging onto my Pixel until the next gen version.

Don't worry once you guys get root you can use kcal to adjust screen calibration as we guys with the v20s are doing

T-Mobile shipped out their pre-orders early
yeah I`m waiting on ATT version, but I`m been with android forever, I`m also thinking of getting Iphone 7 plus and I have played with my wife`s phone and love how smooth and quick it is, not sure yet.........but I`m little concerned with the issues reported
Root is not fixing this thing's performance issues. It's not bloat causing it, its just clearly unoptimized. You will definitely want software updates enabled to get hopefully optimized software.
