This forum is a Ghost Town?

None at all.

No case here either.....

I started a similar thread a few days ago. People will always be posting about Samsung simply because they have the lead in sheer numbers, and many still can't let go of the Note 7 or its forum lol. Others are fawning over the Pixel right now (wish I could be one of them honestly). So for the non unlocked devices, that leaves the LG V20. Quietly going about it's business of not having any widespread defects, dramas, or other irritations. And so far, just being an overall really good device.

The bulk of the current chatter in this forum is anger and frustration at Verizon instead of the usual post launch woes (lag!!!, the iPhone blows this away, lag!!!, 'why can't I?......', lag!!!, "My Sammy was sooo much better than my V20" and a little more lag for good measure ).

No news is good news my friend, but I admit with nothing to talk about, the forums are kind of boring.....

It will. The V20 is just 'speedier' because the OS is so...bland. Compared to the spruced-up, feature-packed, RAM-hungry Samsung implementation, the V20 is just snappier. But at the cost of feeling too simple.

I could see that but I have also been a nexus owner also. Nexus= simple easy software. So what few features that lg added in I think was well thought out not taking away from the overall experience. So more I use the v20 the more I'm loving it.

If this forum is a ghost town, can we have a "tumbleweed" thread where people occasionally just post pics of tumbleweed?

 

[Jeremiah Bonds]

To me, it's the sound of people being satisfied with their device.

 

[GrooveRite]

This just proves that you can have a good working device out in the wild and people will still ignore it for the popular brands.

The V20 is also speedier because Nougat is better optimized. People with the Nougat beta for the S7E have reported it to be a lot smoother.

I just turned mine in. Great phone, barely any problems... but barely any excitement out of it. Besides the wide lens (with the ensuing lower-qual pictures) and double tap to wake/sleep which I still try to use in every device I touch, nothing else wowed me. Yeah, the DAC was nice for a while, but then it's not so great, especially because you have to be tethered to the phone to use it. Go BT Headphones!

Add the fact that it's almost December and the phone has the security patch of a couple months ago, and it just made things worse.

Oh, and the 'forced' heads up notifications also killed it for me.

I received a security patch right after pre order and I just received another one today so the security updates are not so bad

I'm actually selling my S7e. After using my V10 and V20 I simply have zero interest in the S7e anymore. Add to that that finding a good screen protector for it is such a challenge and I just keep thinking, "Why bother"? The S7e is a pretty device, and that will appeal to a lot of buyers, but I prefer the more industrial build and appeal of the LG Vxx phones. Water proofing is lost on me, I'll never benefit from that feature and I just care not about Samsung pay.

When you get a phone with the September security patch in October and is still on that until almost the end of November (and that's assuming you got the Nov. security patch) while the S7/S7 Edge has been getting monthly updates early each month, yeah, it feels bad. It's not terrible (at least you're getting updates, not like before), but still LG needs to step it up.

My security updates have been Oct 23 and now Nov 22.

I don't plan on going swimming with my phone any time soon hahaha..

Annnnnnnnd #4. Just dropped it for the 4th time. Broke all apart as normal. No screen shatters or scratches. I'm really pushing my luck here. But LG made a very tough phone here.

Go buy a lotto ticket RIGHT NOW!!!! hahaha yeah, I think the glass on camera being too flimsy was an isolated issue. But it is weird that some just cracked without owners even dropping them. Glad yours is from a good batch, though!

You dropped your phone 4 times within a month of owning it?? That is 48 times over the next year.... Not a good number..... You need a case or a GREAT insurance plan.....LOL!..

I think you proved a point I made in another thread, that the way the phone breaks apart dissipates the shock... With a case on, the shock is concentrated.. Everyone I saw with a broken glass has a case... Hmm

That is a good point...most of those screen shatters were with cases. You may be on to something there.

The only thing I have on my phone is that clear backing that shipped with the phone. It adds alot of grip and looks kinda cool on the silver color. All my drops have actually not been from out of my hand, but sliding off my bed, off my desk, and once from my lap when I stood up quickly and forgot it was there.

Thus phone might be bad for the phone case company.

This place is still a "Ghost Town"........LOL! I hope that everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving..............
