One of a pair of LG V10 between myself and wife is having boot-loop issue, and to avoid further disasters, I bought a pair of G5 F700L as interim solution couple days back. Never-the-less, the NFC on F700L doesn't seems to work. anything I could do to confirm my hardware is supporting NFC, and/or respective NFC chip is assembled onto our F700L
Based on OS, NFC function has turned on [Icon on menu bar] but it can't read/write any NFC tag. Please share with me if you have any hints

Problem solved; mobile phone is replaced

Hi,
I'm in the UK and I work in the gadget repair industry. I have been asked to sort out an LG Optimus Big LU6800 that's having problems with the Wifi and Bluetooth. It's locked to a South Korean phone network called LG U+ (No Sim card)
After a couple of hours of research (which has been difficult given that there's not much English documentation or discussion on this phone) I think I've worked out that LG U+ have the phone locked down so that the WiFi and Bluetooth functionalities don't work unless you purchase a data plan with the network. I've also read that they blacklist the phone if the contract plan is terminated, also rendering Wifi and Bluetooth unusable. Is this even possible, or is this what they might have done?
Can anyone help me on this? Or can anyone fluent in Korean do some Googling on my behalf to find this out. I know it's not a hardware problem as I have already replaced the antenna to no avail. (this is my first experience with CDMA phones, I've never seen one before). I can't even boot the phone into developer mode, it seems like they've locked that down too .. meaning I don't actually know how I'm going to go around sorting this phone out.
Hopefully someone can help me, this seems like a good forum.
Thanks.
Hello friends.
I have a 32GB operator free LG G2 bought online at Expansys.pt
I'm happy with everything except the voice call quality.
Over +/-60% the sound becomes muffled/a little distorted.
I've read allot about this and it's more common than I expected.
Some say it's a hardware problem some say it can be fixed by software configuration.
Here in Portugal, the LG Support says it's a hardware problem and are replacing some units bought physically in Portugal.
Has I bought my online, the Portuguese LG Support will not exchange mine!
I've seen that for the american operators like AT&T and Verizon there are some thread's saying it can be fixed by software configuration (ex: http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg-g2/314167-poor-call-quality-verizon-g2-4.html#post3280213 )
Is there any solution for the D802 European free version??
Is it normal that this kind of problem occours in such a large scale ??
This is the only thing I dislike in this wonderful phone
Thanks.

My D802 represents excellent call audio, sorry to hear this man!
My problem is instead the bluetooth audio when listening to music. It has a crackling/distorted sound when I'm playing music. Especially when the chorus of songs kick in. However installing CM11 solves the audio problem for me so I know its software releated.
My point is - you could try CM11 and see if the calls are any better, or flash any other stock rom with a newer build number than ur current
Have a nice evening!
Found this interesting fact in another forum:
This is actually my second G2, and has the exact same problem with distortion that the first one did. After doing some research, i also found out that the note 3 is also experiencing similar issues on both verizon as well as sprint. Which makes me wonder if its a cdma/snapdragon 800 issue. But from what i've also read and have been told, samsung actually released a software patch to address those issues with the note 3. I hope that LG will do the same. I love the phone! Fast and awesome! If LG can fix the actual phone part of this, it will be perfect.

please help me em facing call issue no sound being heard from my side to other callers i can hear them but they cant please
Having experienced something similar, I tried using 2G for calling. Big surprise, call quality was flawless. I don't think there's anything wrong with the phone, I'm blaming my operators crappy 3G call quality instead. Pretty sure it suffered on the account of 4G spreading.
Re: Verizon 6.0 OTA update, LG G3, after the update last month, my Bluetooth connections (three different headsets) became useless, with both parties to a call cutting in and out and the BT indicator going on and off repeatedly. After a series of complaints and escalations Verizon sent a replacement with Lollipop installed. Problem solved until VZW pushed the update to the new unit. Now I have the same trouble with BT. I am cell tech savvy but at the end of my patience. Has anyone experienced this issue and is there a fix? Many thanks.
I have not had the issue but I only connect to my car's built in bluetooth for call audio.
i had a little issue pairing to my plantronics voyager legend but it was getting the headset into pairing mode. once paired, flawless.... just make sure you turn off those stupid smart sensors on the headset. they cause tons of disconnect issues.
i also have it paired to a tone pro (HBS-730) and a JBL Clip, and pioneer headunit in my van. no issues.

Similar problem here. Since the Marshmallow update, I cannot pair to my Basis Peak fitness monitor, pair intermittently to my Aukey wireless headphones, and am getting erratic operation on my Wahoo Kickr Snap smart bike trainer.
No issues with my car (Hyundai) or Logitech boombox speaker with a clean install. Try deleting all of the Bluetooth devices from your phone, then delete the phone profile from the device if possible, power cycle both and pair again.
Third G3 VS985 in a row broken by MM update!
(I am the OP this thread): Third replacement unit has BT issues following the 46A update. VZW "2nd tier tech support" claims no one else has reported this issue, which is, of course, bull****.
I have an appointment in early March with an attorney who does consumer class action work. No guarantees, but she is interested in hearing more. Anyone else experiencing similar problems should message me. Thanks.

Same here (but Motorola Moto G 3rd Edition 2015 with OTA Marshmallow) . I suspect that Basis Peak is just not fully compatible to Android 6.0.1 in general.
BT issue on Marshmallow update
I have found that my G3 will now not pair with devices that use a dedicated app to pair with the phone. All other devices seem to pair normally.
I have 2 devices that use a dedicated app to sync over BT and they will not connect.
I have 2 devices that sync using the basic BT pairing method on Android and they connect no problem.
I wonder if there is an added security setting in Android 6.0 that is blocking these types of connections.
I had the same problem - won't connect to my Basis Peak, but is fine with my Pioneer radio after the update. I opened a helpdesk ticket with Basis, and here is their response:
I hope you are well. We have discovered that there is a connectivity issue with the LG G3 phone.
In mid-February, Verizon upgraded its LG G3 users to the newest Android operating system, Marshmallow (Android 6.0.0). Following this update, Verizon LG G3 customers, now running 6.0.0, became unable to sync or pair with their Basis Peaks.
When Basis became aware of this issue, our Android team began running tests to determine what was causing the incompatibility. Our team discovered that the LG G3 has trouble maintaining a stable bluetooth connection when running 6.0.0. The Peak uses a secure communication link to transmit data to your phone, which requires a more complex connection process. What is happening is that the unstable bluetooth connection of a LG G3 running 6.0.0 tends to drop before the secure communication link can be established, thus the Peak can neither pair nor sync with the phone.
Several other BT devices are having difficulties with the LG G3 handset running 6.0.0. The company, Tile, saw a BT issue with 6.0.0 and they worked with Google to develop a fix which is being rolled out with 6.0.1 While Tile’s issue was not specifically related to the LG G3, we believe that the next Android release may resolve the issue we are experiencing, as we have several customers who are able to sync while on 6.0.1.
(More information about Tile’s 6.0.0 issue can be found here: (I can't post URL's yet...)
We currently are working towards being able to validate that 6.0.1 will resolve the communication issue between the LG G3 and the Peak.
We take this situation very seriously and will update you as soon as we know more. We appreciate your patience.
Verizon pushed update to 47A today, BT issue unchanged
I was hopeful when I saw a new system update to the LG G3, but it doesn't help the Bluetooth issue with 6.0...
My JBL Flip worked fine with 46A but only supports call audio with version 47A.
Why has Verizon Wireless abandoned customers using the LG G3?
Verizon Wireless customers using the LG G3 (VS985) received a mandatory update to "Marshmallow" (6.0) earlier this year. Following the update, four of my five Bluetooth devices no longer worked reliably. Verizon referred me to LG, which in turn suggested that I contact Google.
I discovered (on this forum and Verizon's own) a large number of Verizon customers complaining that they too have had their Bluetooth functionality badly reduced. Some of us have spent additional money on higher priced devices in order to use the phone legally on the road. My hearing aid connects to the phone via BT, so I'm s*** out of luck.
Verizon's troubleshooting steps do not address the problem. There is an apparent solution in 6.0.1, but Verizon declines to make it available on the G3.
Having worked in the wireless industry, I believe nothing is pushed to Verizon customers until and unless it has been vetted and approved by the carrier. My educated guess is that Verizon failed to do proper diligence and wants to get out from under the problem by dropping support for the G3 and suggesting that customers pay to "upgrade" to a newer model.
Within the next few days, I'll be moving my numbers to one of their competitors. Verizon Wireless has failed to support a large group of its customers and deserves to lose them.

I understand what you're saying, and the frustration. If I were in the same position, I'd downgrade to 10B, root and put @xdabbeb_vs985_2.0.0 ROM on (based on 35B). All carriers tend to not care anymore once they've delivered what they expected to be their last OTA to a device.

I'd love to. However, while I'm pretty capable with RF technology, this is above my pay grade and I don't know anyone who can do it for me. Any ideas out there?
This device supports Galileo the new European global navigation satellite system??
Seems Snapdragon 820 supports Galileo, and It has been activated in December 2016, Galileo signals doesn't require different GPS antenna. Maybe It requires some updated gps config, I cannot see its satellites in popular GPS Apps.
Is anyone informed about this matter?
as i know, G5 is NOT able to receive Galileo signal until now.
Try this app to check -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.android.gpstest
more info about "GPStest" -> https://gis.stackexchange.com/quest...and-apps-with-support-for-galileo-positioning
LG G5 specifications -> http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/comparison/da1b7a208
as this info shows, NO SUPPORT for Galileo!

Device specification in this website cannot report GALILEO support in any case since are relative to official specs at the launch of the terminal, and GALILEO was activated in December 2016 and supported in Nougat.
For example in my older Optimus smartphone in official specs is reported only GPS but with a simple update it can fix now both Glonass and Beidou.
anyway, with rom 20d and the recommanded app from above, i can’t see Calileo!

same here,
for this reason I'm looking for some way to enable the support
as i have read, the 820 cpu has a "modem" that was able to be updated by manufacturer (snapdragon)
But i don’t know a way to do that.
Good day,
I am a proud owner of a LG V20 H910 AT&T for about four years now.
Bought it back in early 2018 refurbished from ebay for about US$185.
I got very good service from this, I learned alot about roms, scripts, etc...
these are the issues I faced...
Very recently, phone started turning off when the battery is around or below 40%
After further investigation and cleaning the contacts, the battery seems to be swollen slightly.
Sometimes I can run it until below 20% until it powers down.
Lately I see it takes a long time to charge from this point.
The phone mic stopped working and gives of static noise/feedback to other caller until you switch to speakerphone then it works fine. This is for mobile calls and whatsapp/duo.
The headphone jack seems to short and stop music and activate google assistant every now and again.
This doesn't happen to all headphones, only some. If you don't move the phone or the cable, it works fine.
Download mode loads, but you get static on screen, tried reflashing with my stock and others but same.
Other than these problems, I totally love my v20 and it is still going.
I wanted to buy either a v50/v60/G8x.
I see LG is no longer making V series.
I like to tinker with mods and roms, what do you recommend
my max budget is ~US$220 and I see I can get these on ebay.
The main thing i like about my v20 is the dac, I use the force high impedance mode as I use it as a music player in my car's Hi-Fi. Is this possible on these units?
I want to go for the v60, what version TMO, Verizon, AT&T?,
I am on Digicel in Trinidad & Tobago. so this doesn't matter but what is the best version to buy for unlocking and future mods/dev.?
I remembered when I got the AT&T version of my v20, it never came with the Music app, and I only recently solved that issue.

Personally I went with the U.S. Cellular unlocked version.Or,you can go with the T-Mobile version.Prefer it be unlocked,and the reason I say those 2 is because at least the firmware is downloadable unlike the AT&T version.But,there is a Qfil copy of the AT&T version in the Q&A post.From my readings they're all IMPL locked and I haven't found away around that yet.
I would like to know too. coming from a v40 that i bought for $300 and it lasted 4 years... I hope to do a similar run with the v60.
Not too worried about updating past android 11. But it does kinda suck the security updates stop at June 2021. My v40 is stuck at 8/20, and I'm already noticing some apps dont work with Biometric anymore.
It took many years before the v40 was finally moddadable to lineage... and I'm sure someone will figure out the v60, but I also worry that WIFI calling won't work if it ever gets lineage.
That said, if I am on ATT, and want to use WIFI calling, I should buy an ATT branded model, correct? If I buy a global model, and run it on ATT, it likely won't work with WIFI calling?

Yes,if you're on AT&T most definitely get the AT&T branded v60.With my V60 USC device it wouldn't make or receive any calls when the 3g shutdown hit.I had to cross flash my V60 with a Luns backup and that's the only way it would dial in and out again.I even went in to the engineering menu and enabled all the settings perfect for VoLTE and it still wouldn't call out.It's not IMEI specific either.I'm still trying to figure a work around for it,but nothing as of yet.
Ok. I just bought the lm-600am version
