Hey guys,
I'm on my second Cam Plus module, and I have no idea how to make it work, or what I should expect.
I've attached it to my phone, and charged it for 5+ hours. During the first two hours I didn't see any LEDs on the Cam Plus. After two hours it started flashing red to indicate charging (I think?).
I've never had it change from red flashing LED.
The Cam Plus firmware update just shows the same "Connect a Cam Plus to check for Updates" message with the module attached. The LG Friends app sees the device and lists it as connected. I've not been able to get the module to do anything, or have any buttons work in the LG Camera app. Moving the bottom switch seems to not do anything.
Am I crazy here, or is this second unit defective? Am I just doing it wrong?
Thanks guys, any help is appreciated.
I just picked up a brand new lg g5 with the cam plus and I'm having the same issue!
Just received mine yesterday. Make sure you have the correct model number for your lg g5. Mine is ATT and is only compatible with the cbg-720 model. The other model cbg-700 is for all over lg g5s.
Also the module does not work when USB is plugged in. Hope this helps.
I'm on my 3rd and second G5 phone. None have worked so far. I called lg and they told me theres no troubleshooting for the camplus. They are aware that there is a problem though.
I call them every week, this week will be the fifth time.

Yeah there's no specific trick to making it work. I just plugged it in and pressed the buttons and it worked.
Mine showed a red led once it has been used as it's then charging your battery but that's it.
I just bought a G5 and Cam Plus yesterday. I have the exact same problem as OP. Has charged it for 12Hr+ and the Cam Plus LED is still a flashing red.
Edit: As mentioned above, you probably need the CBG700 to work, since this one works with all carriers other than AT&T. I have the CBG720 and I am using Bell that is probably the problem. Will take it back to the store tomorrow and see if I can exchange for a 700 and see if it works.
The cam plus is a total flop to me... Only uses battery to charge phone when using camera, weird glitches where it never seems to fully charge and I've had 2 die when plugged in tonthe wrong charger...
If any of you paid for it, I'd return it ASAP.
H831 here running on Bell and having the same DOA with the cam plus. I went out and purchased 2 other CBG-720 cam units at different stores and no dice (returned them both right away). What a waste of time. Wondering if someone running H831's can confirm if the other cam plus model (CBG-700) works?
My CamPlus was bundled from Telus, it's the 720 model. Just got my third unit, it's flashing red while presumably charging right now, doesn't do anything else.
What SHOULD happen?
Hey everyone!
I just signed up to reply to this one.
Having the same issues as everyone else (can charge the phone, but only getting a blinking red light on the camplus. also where the lg friends app was not able to detect the camplus), but I've managed to make mine work.
Just make sure you got the latest firmware (they had a release this August, around 500mb in size)
For its first use, the camplus needs that version of the firmware to boot up to.
Kinda weird why lol
Btw, when you get a blinking red light during charging it means the camplus hasn't been booted up.
You should be expecting a mellow red/ sorta yellow, non-blinking light.
When I got my g5 from Telus they gave me the camplus and it never worked, returned it and tried 3 different units brand new from Telus And none worked, the LG rep was at the store that day and none worked for he either on her g5. I ended up getting credit back for that bonus item
even when you get it working it's rubbish mine is back in the box in a cupboard. But if it helps, after speaking to lg, you need friends manager and camplus manager from the app store, plug in the module, run both apps, restart the phone if it says connect the module it may find an update. after this it should work and even charge when not attached to the phone.
hope this helps

My Cam Module stopped working after a software update. I pressed the video record and sliding on/off switch for 3 seconds. The led start blinking green, amber and red. I rebooted the phone and launched the LG Friends app to re-pair the LG Cam Plus. It works again. This procedure must hard reset the module.
Cam Plus help
Hi,
After doing a dumb thing and purchasing the Cam Plus for my G5, I found that I purchased the wrong MPN. I have purchased the correct one now, but would like to know what country and carrier so I can sell the wrong one. Manufacturer's part # is TMON64673. LG has only told me to go to every countries LG site and check the model #. Off hand any advice you can give would be appreciated.

Hey. Just make sure you update the phone first to the latest version, then put in the CAM.
Afaik, the CAM won't be updating. It just needs an updated phone for it to work.
Hope this helps.
getting cam plus to work
I finally got my cam plus to charge. Apparently the battery locks when it is fully discharged, you have to attach it to the phone and charge for about 5 minutes, but apps have to be up to date for this to work, got no light or flashing red light at first. Flashing red light started once I installed lg friends manager app. The cam plus app will not see the module either. I think I did press the camera on button and the video button on the cam plus for 3 seconds before it started to flash on one of the phones, I had 2 that did not work.
If you get the flashing red light it is not charging, what you need to do is update your lg5 by going to settings>general>about phone>update centre>app updates then do the updates. Once I did this the module started to get a solid red light and started the charge. You can then remove from phone and charge cam plus on it's own then and you should get a solid green light when charged.
Hope this helps.
I had the same problem. Go to youtube and look for a video entitled 'LG G5 Cam Plus fix (how to overcome the flashing red LED of death problem )'. Follow this guys instructions and you should have a functioning Cam Plus that you don't want to punch anymore.
Kudos to the guy who posted the video for persevering and getting an answer from LG.
I hope this helps because I know how aggravated I was by the whole thing, especially after having to send back the G5 SE as it doesn't have RAW capability. It took ages to get the phone and set up I wanted. Anyway, it's all been worth it 'cos it's a cracking wee piece of kit.

Hi all!
First of, my device did sometimes not fast charge, only regular charge.. No matter witch charger or cable combo i used. Sometimes it changes during charging, fast charge-regular-fast etc.
So i was thinking maybe i have some dust or something in the usb hole, so i tried to clean it with compressed air and some piece of plastic.
Now the charging is started with fast charge and after 5min dropped to regular..
And some new problem, the microphone is dead.
Not completely tough, it does record some loud and close enough sounds and when listening the speaker almost in my ear i can hear something, but in call use the other person can not hear anything, except with me speaking with loud speaker mode on. I guess it uses different microphone on then..?
I am open to any suggestion to solve my problem.
I am on vacation one week more so i can't turn to my phone seller with warranty conversation. But i guess that is my best change to get it working, warranty.
I'll see how that goes cause the device bootloader is unlocked.. (rooted and xposed also)
Anyone else had these issues?
Any help please!
Edit. V10D stock rom, rooted and systemless xposed
Got back to stock with v10D..
Allso got bootloader relocked in fastboot with 'fastboot oem lock' command.
The yellow triangle on startup is gone, so now sending it back for warranty->
Edit.
They said at the shop that it will take max. 2weeks... So we will see..
Edit. 2
I tried the camera module at home and the microphone worked perfectly with that, but it didn't regodnize the module buttons at all and didn't charge(normal or fast). So i gave it in for warranty too.
Ok, so today i got call from the shop. They said that the service center has sent them a message that says: we do not have suitable parts to repair the device.. Lg will replace the whole device.
So i got my self a brand new phone and cam module from the shop, in a factory sealed original paggage.
For the lack of development for G5,
I think i am going to sell it and try to manage with my old Zenfone2 till Nexus release :fingers-crossed:

I have tried so many ways ( like turn OFF and ON again both in Settings > Display > Second Screen, flash many differentce roms after 4wipes) and it doesn't work.
I have searched in forum but seem like noone have a solution for this issue.

Can you expland me more. Cause the sencond screen works perfectly when the main screen ons.
You already tried wiping and several roms, so it is definitely not a software issue. If it was software the screen would have worked with at least 1 of the roms you tried.

Guys HEEEEEEELLLLPPPPP!!!
I have exactly the same problem! Surely someone knows what could cause this? Why does the backlight go off with the main screen??? The display is working, because if you shine light into it, the date/time/notifications are there it's just that the backlight is going off!!!! Surely this is software?
I've factory reset and it made no difference but that doesn't roll back to LP... I just upgraded this phone to the latest software when I bought it so don't know if it had this issue from new.
Sorry to take over the thread, will delete and start a new one if people would prefer.
Don't see how it can be hardware at fault???
Thanks in advance for any help?!

That's bad for you... unlucky.
Can you recall what (if anything) may have caused it to stop working? I'm wondering it mine went bad after LG bridge software update and restore from previous V10 (H961N).
Sent mine back and got another coming this week.. fingers crossed this time. Might update it the same but maybe not restore? or not restore settings at least?
Got my new one. Working fine except it's maybe a tad dimmer compared to my previous V10s second screen. There's definitely variation as it won't go off with my finger over the proximity sensor whereas my brothers one does (this just dims right down). A piece of cardboard or paper shuts it down. But most importantly, it does go off in my pocket... or else the wifi, sound, flashlight etc would be getting switched the whole time.
I solved this problem by checking PINs on mainboard for the second Flex Cable for LCD of LG V10, see the video, READ comments here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpeVAqgU94s, so in my case one of three PINs was folded little, so one PIN contact didn't touch the second Flex Cable and this caused the problem...
Hello guys,
As i mentioned in the title, i have a problem with my lg h860 variant, this problem is called ghost touch.

As far as I know, ghost touch is almost always a digitizer hardware problem, but I stand to be corrected on that. Have you tried pulling the battery and leaving the phone off for a while (15+ minutes)?

I don't think you have that many options. Here are the things I would try, in order:
- Open the phone and disconnect the screen from the motherboard, then reconnect it
- Factory reset (back up the phone with LG Backup, or TWRP if you have a model that supports it)
- Replace the screen
I have a feeling that a factory reset isn't going to do much of anything, but it's worth trying before you spend money on a new screen.
Re: ghost touch
I had mine doing the same thing, I'm on a h820 however the screens weren't different amongst the variants as far as I know. Was able to get an oem replacement on Amazon for like 68$. The install wasn't all too difficult and did alleviate the ghost touch. Mine was bad bad before changing out the screen. Like it would press and hold the home button or the back button and make the phone unusable. No problems with the new screen so far.
Here's a link to the one I bought. It was two numbers off from the original one on the underside of the screen where the LG info is stamped.
Well it won't let me post the link.. Not enough posts. But it was from a US seller and said oem in the listing title.

Hi everyone,
Somehow, I lost the Capture+ app after Verizon's last OTA update to Oreo. I absolutely love using the app for taking screenshots. Would someone be so kind enough to post the APK file for me, if at all possible? I'd really appreciate it. Thank you so much! ?

Well, I'm on TMO, and I don't recall seeing that app on my H932, but on facebook they have figured out a way to prevent screenshots while on facebook.... maybe that app can bypass the browser/facebook restriction....

On initial setup make sure you enable app drawer (it's not the default choice, instead ALL your apps on desktop is default choice).
Nova launcher, custom icon pack, install Blokada from F-Droid for ad blocking.
Enable Developer Options, turn on GPU rendering. Also, set all animation transitions to 0.5.
For right now, keep all camera settings on auto until you are sure. On selfie camera, turn down to zero all lighting and fleshtone adjustments.
I have screenshots of all my settings. I can upload them somewhere maybe this weekend.

Right now this is the phone that gives me as much or more than the 2014 Moto Quark (Droid Turbo/Moto Turbo/Moto Maxx) phone -- which was a cutting edge phone that was hard to surpass for at least two years.
Thnx, ChazzMatt. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the unlocked boot loader. I'm already missing getting into some of my apps that require root, specifically, Moaab, Titanium Backup and Root Explorer.
But, I will get over it, and, who knows, maybe someday someone will root it? Probably not, but maybe.
Unfortunately, I can't get the finger print reader to recognize my fingerprint. Apparently my fingerprint is somewhat worn away. It will work on others fingerprints, just not mine.
I bought a nice little Incipio case for it and screen from Verizon. Apparently, this LG is not a big seller here in Flagstaff, so they don't carry much in accessories for it. These were the only ones theyhad for it. And, he had to look for several minutes before he found them. He said they only sold about one LG v30 a month.
Nice phone, I really like it. Thanks for your guidance on it.

One trick you can use for fingerprint sensor is to "add" another fingerprint, but still use the same finger. That way you can get even more angles of the same finger. I have both index fingers (both hands) added as like 4 different fingers.

It's not really an app I don't think. It's just a tile in notifications tray. You have the same version phone as I and I have it
Chazz, I've tried that many times. My fingers do not register, but others do (6 year old g-son, daughter in law, worker at Verizon). I've tried thumb, forefinger, etc, of both hands. It just won't click on my fingers, so now I'm using face recognition, not as safe maybe, but it does work.
Thnx for the suggestion.
OP, Galaxy princess, did you ever find the capture app?
I just downloaded the v30 owners manual and it does reference the capture+ in it a few times. I am on Verizon Oreo 8.0.
Pull down the status bar at the top of the phone and you will see it there.
Also with the screen off, click the volume up button twice to open it up.
I did try those two on my phone and it did work. If you've already found it, then please disregard my post.
I had the same issue after I deleted the app called QuickMemo+. I added it back through Settings, General, Update Center, App Updates. Once it was installed again, the Capture+ icon was back when I swiped down.

This is why people have to be very careful removing "bloatware". A lot of useful stuff is interconnected.
