    Scheduling Texts

    It works fine on my V30. I'm also running with Oreo. I'm sure others would agree. I would also think twice before going to the dark side. The grass is not always greener on the other side.

    LG Home error message after

    It depends on the update you received. It was mostly an issue with the beta version for Oreo. The latest update cleared up that issue. If you don't have any updates pending or incoming, I would use a different launcher besides the default to avoid the issue.

    best headphones for V30?

    Not a big fan of some of those headphones you listed, but yes the V30 can handle ALAC. Comparing Venture Electronics to the likes of Sennheiser is a bad idea. Sennheiser s tend to be on the pricey side, but the quality & sound stage can only be matched by very few. You don't have to start with...

    Galaxy S9 audio may beat V30

    People also tend to forget that the V30 comes with dynamic filters & presets. If you to compare say Normal with a Short response to Enhanced with a Sharp response, the difference is pretty significant. For instance, the latter is almost identical to the response you would get using the Astell &...

    Oreo Update

    I would check with your carrier. The update has been officially out since end of December last year. Next time you can skip the middle man & just simply buy one of the Korean models. They get all the updates first, months ahead of all the international carriers. I got Oreo back in November last...

    What are the model & year for those cars?

    Just received my handset, but the screen seems really grainy.

    That's definitely a defective unit. I would just go & exchange it. Before you accept the exchange, just do the same visual inspection. The display on the phone is pretty solid. I have had mine since day one & no issues to report. It's just a smaller version of their award winning OLED TV screens.

    V30 camera reviews?

    I would wait till the upcoming 2018 model is confirmed or ready for release. That should force some price drops for the older models.

    Car/pc sync still uses old phone name

    The last time I played around with Ford's Sync system I had to do a full Master Reset to fix any connection issues. I would try that first & see if it solves your issue. Once you're done with the Master Reset, try to connect the phone again & let us know how it goes. For reference...

    I just got the Oreo update. Now What?

    Some of the top tier bluetooth speakers can link more speakers to a single bluetooth transmission ie JBL Connect. For different brands, I would look into a separate bluetooth transmitter. The latest Samsung phones have a propietary chipset that can transmit at least two signals. The V30 was...

    I just got the Oreo update. Now What?

    I should probrably clarify just a little about the dual-audio for bluetooth. So with Bluetooth 5.0 by default you can connect to multiple devices, but you can only stream audio to one device at a time. The limitation is at the Bluetooth chip (transmitter) level. So if you're looking for...

    LG v30 - accessibility and mono audio question

    You should be ok. I just switched mine to mono & changed the presets/filters. I was able to notice the changes immediately. When I turned off the DAC, I could also tell the sound quality dropped. Side note: I think it would be a good idea to start another thread to get a poll on what are some...

    I just got the Oreo update. Now What?

    You first bring up the App you wish to have in picture-in-picture. Tap on the app manager (square) button or the home (circle) button. The App should switch over to picture-in-picture. A couple of Apps you could try would be Youtube TV, Youtube & Google Maps. Keep in mind this all assuming you...

    V30 camera reviews?

    That's going to change. The new AI cam on the V30 is pretty impressive.

    I just got the Oreo update. Now What?

    Notification dots should be pretty obvious. Also picture-in-picture comes in pretty handy with Youtube TV & any other video playback.
