Got the Sept 1 2020 Android Security Patch Level a few days ago. I have the ATT branded version.

Does the OP6T have double tap to wake/sleep? After using LG phones the last several years, it's a feature that it's difficult to live without. In a few months, the price of the LG will drop significantly. I'm going to look for a V30/V35 in the next several months as the price will certainly fall.

Notifications and Samsung Pay w/ MST. People are often impressed seeing me use the watch to pay on non-NFC terminals, not that it matters to me.

I updated to the latest Samsung Pay version 1.7.3006 about 30 days ago, and so far, it hasn't wiped out my card like it did before. Prior to the latest update, I would have to add my card every week or two, which was extremely annoying. Having MST on this watch is my favorite feature.

Was that top picture taken near Dinosaur Caves around the Pismo Beach area? Great pics w/ the V30.

I've had one for the last couple weeks and still testing it out. Pro:Much of what was said above. Double tap to wake and sleep are indispensable features for me. Con:Lack of notification LED.

Mind control. They need to get a cult following.

Re: I guess if Samsung can't blow you up, they'll blind you instead As I understand, it's infrared light, not a laser, that is used for the iris scanner.

The LG Realm and Volt, circa 2014, had the ability to turn off the shutter sound in the stock camera app settings. The software in the following year's budget phone, LG Tribute 2, did not have that ability in the camera app settings.

I've had a Nexus 5, Realm (rooted), Volt, Optimus Exceed X 2, Tribute 2 X 2, Tribute HD (currently have) and G4 (currently have). Only the Realm boot looped after I did a factory reset. I'm taking a chance with the G4, but I got it cheap. I like the double tap to wake/sleep, knock code and...

That dim sum looks tasty.

Gboard. If I'm in a place where I can use Google Voice Typing to compose my text messages, I tend to use that more.

I need something that ticks all the boxes (reasonably fast processor, OIS on camera and good to excellent photo quality, colored notification light, IR blaster). I like LG's UI. After double tap to wake/sleep, it's difficult to go to another skin that doesn't have that. I like LG's Knock...

I haven't looked extensively, but I haven't seen a method yet. I've read that people have tried King Root, but no luck. Perhaps, look through xda-devlopers. I was interested in the phone and should have grabbed the Black Friday special.

I ordered one of those IR blasters that fit in the headphone jack, and haven't received it yet. I guess that if a phone doesn't have a native IR blaster, an add on may be OK. I have a gimped IR blaster on an LG Volt, and I like it. However, I agree that at least for me, the LG flagships seem...
