    Security update today

    So far it has removed names from my stock messaging app. All I have now is all the phone numbers. I have to figure out by context who is who.

    Proximity sensor

    Why do you have to press the power button to get the screen to turn back on when you have been on a phone call? I thought the whole purpose of a proximity sensor was to deactivate your screen when it was against your ear and to turn the screen back on when it was pulled away. My G3 did this...

    Screen rotation

    Sometimes I have to shake the phone to get it to realize I changed position. Posted via the Android Central App

    What app do you use for SMS and MMS?

    I use mysms to sync up my texting on my tablet and my V10. It is the only one that doesn't require the two devices to be on the same Wi-Fi network or attached by Bluetooth that I can find. Posted via the Android Central App

    Marshmallow and system storage

    So my AT&T variant V10 is now on MM and I noticed that on the storage screen it says that the System is using 12.52 Gb. Now I know that it has 64 Gb onboard, but 12.52 is unbelievable. What is taking up that much room. It can't be MM. There are still phones sold with 16 Gb. What has LG crammed...

    AT&T LG V10 Update

    I gave up on my laptop. Win 10 and it's gorram updating scam/scheme is so fracking obnoxious I don't touch that thing anymore. And I've learned the hard way how useless SD cards are. Too many have died. Posted via the Android Central App

    AT&T LG V10 Update

    I know that I probably need to do a factory reset now but I would like to avoid it if possible as I don't have a way to do a decent backup. I have observed over the last few days that my battery performance has dropped by roughly 25%. Not a complete deal breaker but I really don't want to...

    AT&T LG V10 Update

    Something I have noticed with my V10 is my Wi-Fi speeds have increased. Don't know if there was a setting tweaked but my V10 is now a speed hog. Before MM I was lucky to hit 18Mbps on my home network. Now Ookla often rates me at 25.9+/-. None of the other devices in the house have updated or...

    Smart settings

    Any idea why smart settings work sometimes and sometimes they don't? Occasionally they will turn my Wi-Fi back on when I get home, occasionally they will not. Half the time my phone stays locked in my two trusted places. Even if it has only been a few minutes since I was last on my phone...

    V10 vs. G4

    In their Dec on Twitter contest LG gave me a V10 and a G4. They are both awesome. But the V10 comes with twice the memory. And I load up my phone with songs and movies for travel without wifi or data. So I gave a friend who was rocking an Optimus T the G4. Had to teach him all that Android had...

    Apps won't load on WiFi

    This fixed everything but Mobile Tumblr. Don't think anything will ever fix that. Posted via the Android Central App

    AT&T V10 FPS update

    Checked the link's info. My phone info matches. So I stand by my statement, what is the point of the fracking updater if it doesn't do a fracking thing? And what's the deal with AT&T waiting a month and a half to send the fracking update to my phone. Lousy Turd Burglars. Posted via the...

    A powered off LG V10 phone turned itself on when plugged into wall socket

    For me it has depended on the state of the device. I've accidentally let my devices die and charged them. Those have powered back on. If I turn it off at the emergency power down point and then charge it, it will also turn on when sufficiently charged. But if I turn it off at like 1 or 2% it...

    AT&T V10 FPS update

    I got my phone about January 15th. I religiously hit the software update every morning. And this morning it told me the same as always, software is up to date. About noon I get a pop up saying a software update is ready for my phone and yada, yada, yada, to quote Seinfeld. So what is the...

    AT&T V10 FPS update

    My V10 just insisted that I do an update. It was a fast one so I assume that it was tiny. When it was finished it is still on 5.1.1 so I went to the finger print scanner setting and gave it the old college try. I have a case that almost completely covers the stainless steel band. So I tried to...
