I want to buy an LG v20 alongside a 7days replacement warranty....does the bootloop problem start from the very beginning of owning a phone or is it a suddenly appearing annoyance ?

The BOOTLOOP problem was been fixed a long time ago. Annoying trolls always comment about the BOOTLOOP: "I'll never buy an LG again!" Dude, they fixed it, starting with the LG G5 and beyond. The LG G4 and V10 both had the BOOTLOOP problem (same phone internally), due to the processor overheating and damaging the parts inside overtime. They actually FIXED AFFECTED PHONES FOR FREE too, and the V30 had a 2 year warranty. There are zero credible reports of bootloop with the LG G5, V20, G6, or V30... any reports of the BOOTLOOP on the V20 was debunked because the person used cheap USB C cables which are known to damage phones. There are other reasons why the phone bootloop too such as water damage but the user doesn't want to admit it, sending the phone in only to have it sent back because the water damage sticker indicated water damage.
By the way, everyone is slamming LG for the BOOTLOOP but NOBODY remembers the Note 7 exploding and blowing up? What about Apple's #bendgate and #batterygate ? The Pixel 2 easily bending and breaks due to design flaw (shown by JerryRigEverything)? OnePlus screen installed upside down, included Chinese spyware, and sold cheap cables? It's like they have selective memory and pick on the smaller guy, which is LG. Sorry, but your manufacturer probably had some mishap in the past as well.
BTW I had the V20 for almost 2 years.. zero bootloop and zero problems. No battery drain, no laggy OS, no broken camera glass despite people saying it breaks easily.. I dropped the phone 5 feet on cement with a case on, no problems whatsoever. Remember, it has a military grade rating and originally was marketed as a tough and rugged phone (V10 and V20).
If it hadn't been addressed, we would've heard about it now. There is no widespread hardware related bootloop problem with the V20. I don't doubt yours is in a bootloop, but yours is an outlier. It's similar to the one lady who's Note 9 allegedly caught fire because of a battery issue recently and is now trying to sue Samsung for not addressing the battery problems stemming from the Note 7. One problem doesn't mean the entire line was designed wrong.This has not at all been fixed. My LG V20 is currently stuck in a Boot Loop. Is there anything that I can do or am I just screwed? Please help!
