    Can't change USB connection option on new LG G7

    It doesn't show up in the device manager. I tried this before but gave it another go right now, just in case. This wasn't an issue until the LG update in May that was issued to fix LG phones suddenly not working on TMobile networks. The update seems to have introduced this bug.

    Can't change USB connection option on new LG G7

    It's not just you. I have been watching this thread for a solution and finally decided to chime in. My wife and I both have these phones and they won't communicate with a PC anymore. The phones no longer give the option to choose the connection type, they just charge. Drivers are current from...

    [MEGATHREAD] LG IMS Keeps Stopping (5/2022)

    My phone was fine today, then just started the issue again after I restarted just now. The "fixes" posted online did not work for me and I've a feeling they aren't actual fixes.

    [MEGATHREAD] LG IMS Keeps Stopping (5/2022)

    I cleared rcsprovider data 3x and still get the pop up. I think we'll just have to wait on LG and Tmo (Metro in my case) to get it sorted. My wife has the same phone (G7Thinq} on Mint Mobile and says she's not getting this issue.

    How serious is the light bleed issue

    Zero light bleed on mine. Just about every model of phone will have some reports of light bleed it seems. Just variances in build and tolerances.

    Raw vs. JPEG

    I've been telling people to shoot in manual because the phone's aggressive photo manipulation is a detriment. Better detail in the chair. The dynamic range comment is inaccurate. First pic is brighter but does not have blacks as deep so the dynamic range is not better.

    What was LG thinking with the app panel design?

    If he's not pulling our legs at this point then I'm truly mystified.

    What was LG thinking with the app panel design?

    I also came from using an HTC 10 and I don't get what the problem is. Maybe you need to set it up differently. I changed mine to use an app drawer (didn't need to download anything) and it acts just like the 10 now. There's no shifting through hundreds of apps. You're doing something wrong.

    [REVIEW] Ringke Air Case LG G7 ThinQ

    Been using the smoked one on the Tmobile raspberry colored G7 for over a month and it's been great. Survived several drops on tile, right on the corners but no problems. I also like that it fits tight so junk isn't slipping in under the case, making it look gross. Great case for those who want...

    LG G7, Sprint status bar info is too small for my old eyes.

    The only way I know of is to scale the entire thing. I did this, and loved it, except for the fact that it took the battery % indicator out of the status bar. That bothered me too much so I went back to default.

    LG g7 new update

    I've not seen others post anything about these issues so it may have been that some is the data got corrupted when updating.

    LG g7 new update

    Sounds like data may have been corrupted during the update. When you say, "LG G7 exclusive", was the update through the carrier via the phone's update system? If not, where did you get this update?

    new seal on box doubled up

    Amazon and ebay both have sellers that take in used and open box phones and sell them as new if possible. You'll have to decide if there's anything about the phone that's going to be a problem for you, then proceed accordingly.

    Aggressive Memory Management

    For me, it feels just the opposite. I'll go back to an app a while later, expecting it to refresh, and it hasn't so I need to manually do it. I mostly use Chrome, YT, etc. I always make sure to manually refresh so I'm seeing the newest page. In guessing our settings are different. I have a lot...
