I'm thinking of buying an H850 in the UK from Smartfonestore, but wanted to be sure that it has the multi-window feature. I've read conflicting stories on the web about whether LG withdrew this feature, which was on the LG G4.
I basically want to run BeyondPod and either Google Maps or Nokia Here We Go in separate windows. Does anyone know if this is possible on the UK H850?

No, it's not possibile because there is no Multi-Window on LG G5 at the moment, maybe things will change with the arrival of Android Nougat becausa it natively supports multi-window.

Wonder why att has their own specific version of cam plus (CBG-720). Hope it's just a super-special at&t logo, not something stupid (like restricting device from working on other g5 models)
http://www.lg.com/us/lg-friends/lg-CBG-720.AATTSV-cam-plus
Verizon/sprint/tmobile/us cellular share same model (CBG-700)
http://www.lg.com/us/lg-friends/lg-CBG-700.AVRZSV-cam-plus
Modules are whitelisted on phones - possible for generic module not to work on att's lg g5
(B&O module imported from Europe will not work on USA models)
Hello, found this out the hard way I have the ATT G5 H820 and bought the T-mobile version of the cam plus. It will not even power on after installing the module. Will be returning for correct version.
That makes no sense to me...Why would you, as a company, make carrier versions of hardware accessories? Is there any carrier branding on the CamPlus?

being consumer-friendly is not a trait shared by some carriers/manufacturers

when you get an AT&T version, bring it to a t-mobile store and try it on a tmobile display phone.....
my guess is that it won't work either
There are time when a carrier request the manufacturer to make parts or accessories for their branded product only by inserting a simply code only phone with the same code that can recognized it.
This is probably the case.
these request usually will cost alot for the companies like At&t to pay LG.
It's stupid. I bought the wrong one too not even knowing there were different models of the same thing. Bunk.
Updating the Post
Well, so far.. THis been a year that this was discussed. I bought a camera module for my phone without knowing about the difference between At&T and other ones... Now I got a brand new Cam module that doesn`t work in my AT&T LG G5...
Do you guys know if it is possibile to bypass that by software? Or install a different firmware on the phone that will allow me to use this module?>
Thanks in advance
Do you think LG will allow this one to be unlocked?

Considering LG's track record it's highly unlikely. I emailed them about it but have yet to get an answer. It's a shame really because right now the only way to get V30 in most of Europe is importing H930DS (3 months after announcement!).
Probably not. The European model was added on the developer list pretty fast after release, like next day. The DS is not there and was released before, I think. Waiting to see if the US998 model will be added.
This is also confirmed to work for the open market V30S sold by B&H Photo:

I am glad to report (bootloader) unlock worked on the new V30S
Simply unboxed, loaded new unlock bin (ADB returned "OKAY"), and rebooted
LG Developer unlock page method did not work
Big thank you to everyone, @txanmoe and @ChazzMatt in particular.

I'm sure the answer is that it won't work, but I want to confirm.
Will doing this ruin LG Pay when it's eventually released in the US or will there be a way to fix it IE Magisk or something.
Recently switched from an S8 and I miss Samsung Pay.
like the look of the V30S, especially since it's $230 cheaper than the V35. Has anyone actually bought and tried it? I'd like to use it on Verizon and it has all the right bands to work but I want to be sure. And it would be nice to know if it's Treble enabled.

As a user of Straight Talk, which uses Verizon networks, the phone works just fine.
Switched from an S8+ to this. So far I'm liking it. The only real difference I've noticed is that it's only slightly smaller. Battery great. 50% after 12 hours. About four of which it was used.
V30S on the way
Sweet my V30S is on the way from B&H!!
Cheers

You can use Magisk to hide bootloader unlock and root.
You need to ask these questions over in the V30 forum. The V30S is just another V30 "Joan" variant, like the V30+. They are all "Joan" devices, same TWRP works for all, same ROMs work for all.
The LG V35 is the one that is different that need their own forum! V30S is just another V30, but with more RAM.

Are the V30S and V30 (and V30+, and...) stock ROMs the same? In the V30 forum, for the latest 20E update, you wrote:
NOTE: This is for all V30/V30+ US998 -- open market US998 V30/V30+ as well as U.S Cellular US998 V30/V30+.

"V30s" is not in the list. Is that because it's not compatible... or because LG has mucked up the model numbers so much that it's hard to keep straight and it was accidentally omitted? lol
I thought the V30S has Google Lens and more AI options in the camera and voice controls, hence the ThinQ in the model name. Like the G7 has. If all this is true... Does that mean I could flash the V30S stock ROM to my V30 (US998, 64GB, 4GB) and get those extra features?! Or, am I wrong, and the stock V30S ROM is the same as my stock V30 ROM? Where can I even get the V30S stock ROM? It's not in the V30 forum, nor is it here.
I know that LG has cast off the shackles of the traditional release cycle, and is releasing much more iterative updates more frequently... so... at what point does the hardware diverge enough to prevent cross-flashing the stock ROMs among versions?
Thanks for the help. I've been happily humming along with my US998 on 20B lately, and just recently played with a G7 and Google Lens in the camera. Now I'm digging a little and getting confused.

Yes, ALL V30/V30+/V30S are ThinQ, with Oreo. ALL the US998 V30/V30+/V30S use the SAME KDZ.

Yes, it certainly is compatible. Why would you say it's not?
Well, to be fair, Play Store tells me my V30+ is not compatible when I try to download the app. It must still be rolling out to other devices besides the G8.

LG Pay is allegedly only available in Korea and soon to launch in U.S.
But you can probably side load off APK mirror. Just like some V30 have to sideload LG FM Radio. I can't guarantee that.
But nevertheless it's compatible with "V30". Just may be Korean variants right now.
They will probably include it with North American variants Pie...
I tried all 3 versions on apkmirror and none work. H930DS v30+ rooted with wtf and flashed to open EU 22j. The two us 1.x versions refuse to start, saying "update required". The Korean 6.x loads but then says "mobile data required" and force quits.
I am using the latest microg, this may impact it.
If LG Pay works on our V30s and supports the MST technology, that would be DOPE
Hello everyone! I have a question regarding the LG G5 VS987. My so recently bought an LG G5 VS987 refurb which came unlocked and with a Verizon Oreo rom (which has quite a few intrusive Verizon apps) and I would like to know if there's any way for this specific model to be converted to an unlocked North American model or any "international" version that doesn't have these apps and other things? Or any that at least still gets some security patches? Just wondering, because I recently converted (Frankenstein method) an LG V30 H931 (AT&T) to a US998, and I remember similar procedures for the LG G3 back in the day and the Galaxy S4.
There's a program called lgup dualmode that you can use for crossflashing, but i can't confirm if it works for the g5 and it may brick your phone

Thanks for the reply. I'm aware of it, used it for the V30 but could not find if something similar can be done with the G5.
