    Kind of wondering if anyone owns this badboy in 2023?

    I ended up with a Motorola Think Phone. I like it fine, and think I will be happy with it. But the Nokia thing is bothering me. Seems everywhere else I research it, AT&T users (and Cricket like on this thread) had no problem. Wonder if the radio was bad? If so, that is a missed opportunity...

    Android 13 for AT&T

    My V60 has been retired to a Wi-Fi, music machine. But that last update had a 50-50 effect for me. The connectivity, web browsing, and upload/download speeds were all outstanding, but I noticed some of my apps were spotty. But I sure loved my LGs and will miss them.

    Using on AT&T or another carrier

    Just activated a Motorola Think Phone on AT&T... and it took several days before the 5G became stable. It was all over the place at first. But now the 5G - which is fairly new here in central IL- never leaves the phone. How is it now?

    So I had to send back the unit I bought. After several attempts, I could not get it to work with AT&T. Super bummed. Having to come up with a back up plan. I do appreciate you responding to me and giving me insights. I was looking forward to using this.

    I appreciate it. It seems the 2 main complaints on the phone is the ease of it turning on in your pocket and the camera's. I am not a photography guy so I am sure I will be fine on that. The battery is interesting. Looks like from earlier posts you have had it a year? What was the life...

    Kind of wondering if anyone owns this badboy in 2023?

    So... after repeated death and destruction of multiple phones at my job no matter of the case or brand, I have accepted I need a rugged phone despite the limitations. I am leaning to this for the wireless charging (I would rather have it and not need it than have the port die and not have it...

    No More LG Phones

    Yeah..... I have decided to upgrade. From my G8 to the V60. Then I intend to use it until the screen implodes and the frame turns to dust. I guess when the security patches quit, I will be forced to another manufacturer. Until then I will bet the V60 will run like a fine swiss car.

    V60 Stays With Me

    Nah.... not only does it make sense I am bummed it even occurs to you it may be strange. In this day and age of people on these "exchange every year" type plans, I guess I could wrapped my brain around it a bit, but that only shows how little people value their devices. I am glad you have the...

    LG G8 Amazon Alexa model with Sprint, can't make or receive phone calls or texts, but DO have Data.

    Tough decision, particularly if the merger with T-Mobile improves things and they still honor the plan. Let us know what you decide.

    ATT updates have been consistently good this year.

    LG promised they would do better at supporting their devices. AT&T accepted criticisms about failing to get timely updates out. Looks like they are both trying to be good to their words. I am pleased.

    ATT updates have been consistently good this year.

    My guess is that it is because it is unlocked. Operating on a network does not mean Big Red is paying attention to your phone. Verizon branded phones have those specific IMEI number, and those receive the updates that LG submit to the carrier, who have to approve them before they go to the...

    Is it truly water resistant? G8 not working after puddle drop

    Just as an update.... Gave it a day (dusted off my old V20) and tried firing it back up. Like everything else about this strange series of events, it now is back to it's usual, fun device self. Fired up, and works perfect. I do not get it, but I like happy endings.

    LG V30 - The trend toward Disposable phones.

    We had a V35, and it lost it's charging port and started really dragging in performance after a year and a half. She replaced it with a Note 9, still going strong. My son had a G6 for over 2 years. Not a thing wrong with it, just upgraded him to a new G8 so he did not have to worry when he...

    Is it truly water resistant? G8 not working after puddle drop

    Really good question.... I did the "Amazon Renewed" for this, and I did not takeout insurance, which most after market insurance will not cover water damage anyways. This thing worked and looked new up to this point. I guess if it does not come back to life in a day or so, I will contact...

    Is it truly water resistant? G8 not working after puddle drop

    WHAT???? You mean I just wasted 69 cents!!?? I had heard that. It was half a joke to keep from throwing a 5 - year old style temper tantrum. I just have it off and SIM card out and will hope for the best. I do appreciate the replies and humoring me.
