    Oreo update: easy way to turn location on and off?

    Seems to be more difficult after the update to access location. Simply want to be able to turn on and off easily without digging through menus. Location doesn't display on second screen. thanks

    Purchasing used phone: Swappa vs. Amazon?

    Purchasing a used or refurbished LG V20. Options: Amazon...will be a "third party vendor"...some are not so reliable kr trustworthy, however amazon tends to cover stuff that vendors sell. Companies like newegg don't. Swappa:. Probably less shady sellers that some of the amazon vendors but...

    GPS issues: LG refuses warranty because phone was bought new "unlocked"!

    Well that's not possible because thr V20 is not currently in production so all thats available is odd lots, refurbished, NOS, etc, and not thru usual sources such as B&H, Bestbuy, etc.

    Got my V20 wet...opinions....

    Hmmm...I read Rugbat's article on what to do if a phone get's wet. I did every single thing wrong apparently. Phone is probably toast even though it appears to boot up.

    Got my V20 wet...opinions....

    That's exactly my question. (The water was fresh water no saltwater or pool water) If I have to take a chance on cost of screen replacement, and the phone is booting up fine until I get to the security tap code (which wont work due to inoperative touch screen)...are the odds good that a screen...

    Got my V20 wet...opinions....

    Went swimming with my V20. Screen was cracked already. Seemsnlike water got inyo crack and pretty much ruined the screen. Phone boots up but cant get past security because touch screen functionality is dead. Think the odda are good that phone will be functional with a new screen? Iow...is it...

    GPS issues: LG refuses warranty because phone was bought new "unlocked"!

    Here it is two days later and the shady third-party seller still has not got back to me. Now I have to go back to newegg and harass them. To top it off, this morning, my glass screen protector had a crack so I peeled it off. It was stuck surprisingly tightly to the screen. At the bottom, it was...

    GPS issues: LG refuses warranty because phone was bought new "unlocked"!

    This business of a company having shady third party vendors that they cannot take any responsibility for is baloney. I happened to me with walmart a few months ago trying to buy this very phone. Never will I buy from walmart online again. That is just very poor practice. Sure, they can sub out...

    Re: GPS issues: LG refuses warranty because phone was bought new "unlocked"! The package was shrinkwrapped. The phone itself came with all the appropriate protective peel-off films on screen and bezel.

    I had a G3 that developed major wifi issue; just died. Would not work. Very frustrating. I think I am done with LG.

    GPS issues: LG refuses warranty because phone was bought new "unlocked"!

    It's totally weird. I had trusted both LG and Newegg but now I don't trust either. I made perfectly clear to LG that this happens all the time, phones are often sold Unlocked. this means that they are manufactured by LG as an ATT-branded phone but they are not locked to ATT and they can be...

    They say it's manufacturer's responsibility. Product is sold thru their website but they use shady third-party vendors. They sent me over to the third party vendor for customer service. Awful. I have to wait two days for these guys to respond to me.

    GPS issues: LG refuses warranty because phone was bought new "unlocked"!

    Bought the V20 new, from newegg, two months ago. Now GPS is functioning horrible...constanly losing signal. Newegg advertises phone as Unlocked New H910 (ATT). LG says they show IMEI as 2016 activation! And they will not honor any warranty on "Unlocked" phones. They say "unlocked" voids...
