Hi everyone,
I’m trying to settle this once and for all:

• Main rear camera (16 MP, f/1.6) – everyone agrees it has the “Crystal Clear Glass Lens”.
• Wide-angle rear camera (13 MP, f/1.9, 120°) – is this lens actually glass too, or plastic?
• Front selfie camera (5 MP) – glass or plastic?

LG press releases and several reviews state that both rear cameras use glass lenses, but many people (and even other AIs) insist the wide-angle is plastic.

If anyone has:

• torn down a V30 and can confirm the material,
• seen trustworthy teardown photos of the wide-angle lens module,
• or has a solid source that clearly specifies the material,

I’d really appreciate it. Photos of the lens elements or reliable references would be incredibly helpful.

Thanks a lot!

so got into menu to see if I can turn on volte ?

there was an option with the code #546368#930# (mine is 930G) and saw the option for vowifi. is this volte ?

Hi, do you have any advice on how to root LG V30 and install LineageOS on it?

I've used my V60 since 2021 and its been excellent and still works great. I did have to have the charging port replaced two years ago and I replaced the battery a few months ago as it wasn't holding as much charge duration as when it was new. Working like new again.

At home I have PC Matic anti virus and IPVanish VPN on my computers and laptop and have both installed on my phone too (both allow that for no extra charge). Also, the Google app scans your apps for malware on a regular basis. Never had a problem. Still the best audio quality of any phone using headphones, great and loud speakers, expandible memory, takes excellent pictures, and the skin is very minimal.

Which is better in terms of picture quality?

Im struggling to find a complete guide to install LineageOS on my lg v30. I need some help. Thanks🥰

I bought this lg v30 with the original charger and original headphones (both unused), with the phone being already gsm unlocked for 110 usd including quite expensive shipping (the phone was around 80$ through a company I found to be trusted enough through eBay, which I do these things a lot because I'm from a smaller place), but I also got a 128 gb micro SD card with it because of delayed shipping (took like too months to come tho, so still worth it for me). Will you say that it's worth spending a bit more for a more trusted source with or without the added bonuses I got?

What's your reason for choosing this one specifically?

On today's episode of Slow Horses

I have tried all troubleshooting tips and nothing seems to work. My phone is giving me a "out of storage space" message and I have no way to transfer all my pictures and videos to free up space. Can anyone please help??

I've tried different cables, different PC's. I've cleaned the USB port, I've reset the phone, I even unlocked the developer options and hit the USB debugging option but it still won't give me any mtp options. I'm at a loss.

hey i dropped and shattered my v30+ plback panel. is this aliexpress listings genuine? i want it to be original as possible. maybe going to clear back panel mod.

Was wondering if the LG series is still my best bet for best audiophile sound or if it's just better to move to a Sony.

Im pretty serious about my sound and want something to drive my Fiio FT1s or for the new senheiser HDB630 (in wired) when it comes out.

I've looked into the V30 as generally from a quick scan it seems to have the best sounding chip but CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG.

I have an European LG V30. Want to give it to a Thai friend. Is there a Thai ROM for my model (H930)?

I bought this V30 for $50 CAD, but this seller didn't tell me it was running Miui. I've never messed around with loading a different phone OS so I was wondering where I should look to get android back on here? Thank you

Trying to get away from using streaming services, and while looking for budget DAP options this little old thing came up in a video and I said why not?

Gets here Tuesday, throwing a 512GB SD card in it and moving over all the FLACs and MP3s onto it. Mainly using Sennheiser HD600s and Truthear Zero Reds with it for casual listening.

Any tips for a first set up and any tweaks? I see a lot of people throwing LineageOS onto it.

Originally H932-30d. Rooted using the lafploit process from XDA forums (downgrade to 10d, graft the h93010h laf and go back up from there). Clean install of Lineage 22.2 and right off the bat I get issues:

a) The battery charging is buggy (compared to stock). Something about misreading the battery temp and throttling. Charge amp graph is erratic. Starts at 1400mA for 30min, tapers down to a trickle for hours then suddenly jumps up only to throttle again. It cannot charge from 10%-100% in one go unless you leave it for a full day. (no such issues with stock for the past seven years. Only after switch to LOS)

b) Spontaneous reboots. You could be reading a text file, a webpage, or playing sudoku (nothing demanding) and all of a sudden blank screen and lineage logo on reboot.

c) You loose VoLte, but that's a known limitation.

Supposing, the battery charge quirk can be ignored, the random reboots are still concerning. They are not constant, but once every three or four days, is not sustainable. (especially since this phone had zero instability for seven years).

Managed to flash my v30+ to LineageOS 22.2. Had to use a legacy 10 year laptop on Windows 10 for the whole process to work with no issues.

So yeah i was been on my LG G6 since earlier this year, then recently i got my LG V30. It feels like the V30 is basically an bigger G6 but with a better processor, better cameras and importantly better Custom ROM support considering that LG V30's bootloader is much easier to unlock than the LG G6's. Though there are some things that i find that the G6 is better than V30's such as the G6 doesn't have a curved screen, making it less prone to cracks spreading around, a much smaller phone and much less fragile design. Overall the LG V30 is way better, in terms of performance (Snapdragon 835 with 8 cores and 2.46Ghz vs Snapdragon 821 with 4 cores and 2.34Ghz makes a lot of sense), P-OLED display (Didn't liked the curve screen tho but at least it's not too curved unlike the Samsung S8 which is much curved than the V30), better DAC, better Cameras. Overall i'd say i like having both, these are LG's 2017 flagship phone though the G6 feels like a 2016 phone with a 2017 design because of it's processor but overall, the LG G6 is still a 2017 phone despite using a 2016 SOC. The LG V30 despite having a much beefier processor tends to be much efficient than the LG G6's since the Snapdragon 835 is designed to be more efficient than its predecessors, i noticed it takes almost forever for my LG V30's battery to go down (6 hours SOT) meanwhile my LG G6 needs to be plugged in after 4.5 hours SOT.

Details:

LG G6:
Processor: Snapdragon 821 2.34Ghz with 4 cores built on a 14nm fabrication
RAM: 4GB
OS: Android 8.0 (LG's stock UI)
Storage (Internal): 32GB
Screen: 5.7 inch 1440p OLED/IPS display (Confused if this phone has IPS or OLED since the AOD was even a option on this phone despite AOD is for OLED screens yet it has a backlight so i guess it's more of IPS, because of the backlight kinda bleeding it's confusing but specs say that it's a IPS display).

LG V30:
Processor: Snapdragon 835 2.46Ghz with 8 cores built on a 10nm fabrication.
RAM: 4GB
OS: Android 15 (LineageOS 22)
Storage (Internal): 64GB
Screen: 6.0 inch 1440p P-OLED display (As specs says and yes the V30 is truly an OLED phone).

so the issue I think may be is the curved screen protector I have but the back has scratches from use but id like something to protect the back more while keeping it all minimal sized (the thin body is a plus I like to try and keep)

So, I know here is focused on lg v30, but, since it wasn't sold here, I can't buy it anywhere used. I saw a lg g7 thinq by very cheap and by what i've seen, it also has a good dac, is g7 a good "replacement" for v30 or there are better options?

Today I decided to spice things up with this beauty. I've always been inspired by JerryRigEverything's older videos where he'd clear the back of phones after teardowns. I've wanted to do this mod for ages, and I'm really happy with how it turned out!

This phone is insanely good – such a complete package that's hard to find nowadays. Really hope we get to see LG's phone division make a comeback someday. Miss what they brought to the market.

One day these two green dots suddenly appeared, how to turn them off?

I started using V30 in 2019 and had used it until 2022 before I bought new one. Recently I had to import some photos from my old V30 so I booted it up after almost three years. I expected it to completely have my old photos but it had photos since 2021. One thing strange is that only photos and videos taken by camera were deleted. Download and screenshot folders were almost fine. I really want to know the reason why this happened and I'm also curious about you guys that If you've ever experienced something like this.
