I'm very disappointed.
Their flagship won't get an update... Why?
It's a few hours of work to push the update...
But they won't. It is an unlocked device. Only device that works internationally and has usa warrantt fron lg us.
It is bullcrap... I've been using g3. Since its broken, i switched to g5. Since g6 won't have battery swapping, Next time i will go samsung or even apple.
Apple is expensive but has no bull****...
So how to install a rom on this? Would verizon or other roms would work? I want to have nougat and android O 8.0 as well...
Hi guys,
I am looking at getting a new phone and I narrowed it down to those 2 phones: "Motorola Moto G4 Plus or Motorola Moto G5" The reason why I was looking at the Moto G4 Plus and not Moto G5 Plus is because I can get Moto G4 Plus cheaper than the newer model.
My reasearch shows that that the Moto G4 Plus has better spec in most areas (gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8050&idPhone2=8454&idPhone3=8687) but my main concern is that the battery is not removeable and Android 8 won't be supported on Moto G4 Plus.
I have also considered the LG K8 as well but I hear that they have issues with boot loop. I also looked at the Huawei Y7 but I see that that phone won't get Android 8 as well.
Is there any reasons not to get the Moto G4 Plus in general?
Thank you

There's no reason not to buy the G4 plus in general. It's a very good phone for a cheap price and I would buy it again. If you're not sure, there's already a thread to search and ask if you're not sure https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846277
Also the G4 plus will get Android Oreo, that's confirmed by motorola: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-getting-android-o-t3576948
From what phone you are coming to LG G6?
I'm now currently on Huawei P10 and I'm thinking to maybe change to G6. With P10 I'm very satisfied, but I like to change phones.
What is the advantage and disadvantages of LG G6?
Hi. I have lg g6 now for 2 weeks. Before i have huawei P10. P10 its good but Lg g6 its mutch better display(18:9), waterproof and better battery life. Wide angle its super.
No led notification but it have AOD.
From LG V20
Now i have Lg G6 and HTC U11
And i want to change my g6 to a v30
I had a g4 do pretty big step up. Very happy with g6
A Samsung Galaxy S4 which I used until it died.
I'm very happy so far with the G6, though the lack of a front button or notification light is a bit annoying.
iPhone 7 plus. Would go back in an instant of I could.
I had nexus 6p, and I missing stock android
From Moto X Force.
Anyone else coming from Huawei?
I came from the G4, which refused to turn on after a software update, and all of my attempts to fix it failed. Getting this phone was cheaper (with a contract) than getting my G4 repaired. I also had to use my S3 for some time before I decided to purchase my G6.
I came from P10. In my opinion G6 is better.
zuk z1!!!!
From G5
Moto G (1st gen) through Honor 9 (had it for 1 and 1/2 month over 1 month out of it in repair)
Coming from Xperia Z3 Compact, I decided to try something bigger than 4,6 inch and G6 is very cheap in Poland nowadays. It was definitely worth it!

On the missing notification light : read this.
I came from Samsung S4 mini
From galaxy S5

LG G4
Iphone 7
Came from Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge (Exynos)
Where only possible 3 or 4 months away from the launch of the G7 obviously it not going to have the Snapdragon 845 thank to Samsung.
My guess at specs.
Snapdragon 835
4GB of ram
64GB of storage as standard
Micro SD
18:9 5.7" POLED display at 2k
Quad DAC on all G7's variants
Improved dual camera with a more upto date sensor.
Headphone jack
USB Type C
ip68
Wireless charging on all G7 variants
Basically it more likely be a smaller version of the V30, unless they go for even slimmer bezel's this time around.
So will you buying one or will you wait for the V30 which will eventually drop in price & probably cost less than the G7 when that launches.
G7 will have snapdragon 845
I have my 870DS since August, why should I buy a new one if it's gonna die in 3 years, then I will think about a G10

Same to me...
Shifted from G3 to G6 after 2 happy years.
---------- Post added at 07:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 AM ----------
I'm waiting for :
6GB of ram.
I'll probably wait for LG V40
Don't really see what could be an upgrade at this point.
Sure, you can always go faster processor, more RAM yadda yadda...
But let's be true here: the G6 is already a beast and you can hardly get it to stutter with normal usage (even with an realtively "old" processor).
So "upgrading" from G6 to a possible G7 seems odd.
Maybe from older devices, yes.
I've had my G6 for less than two months. G7?
I don't know. Not without the latest and greatest processor.
I wouldn't buy one with an 835 in it.
Daaaaaaamn these smarpthone versions releases are rolling like hot cakes... shiiit Just got the G6 & V30 just been released holy madre...
For me if the G7 comes with better of all inclluding the Cine Log feature from V30 and a way better front Camera as well as improved or better Back camera and if, only if it comes to Videotron here in Quebec/Montreal as this time, Videotron Marketing guys were stupid enough to not get the LG V30 but instead they got Exlusive Pixel 2 & 2XL and they're not selling at all.. yeees i'd buy the G7 and also if the form factor of the overall phone is a bit wider in the feel of the hands as the G6 seems a bit thinner in terms of grip I find. And would be nice if Videotron could get LG phones that comes with DAC features
By the way, those who own a G6, did you guys noticed that Instragram has been pre-installed? If yes, how can I fully un-install it, i mean fully without leaving any trace of it so I can go and install some Instagram Mods??
Thanks guys
never buying lg until lg lets users unlock their bootloaders..

If you buy the unlocked versions (US or international) you can unlock the BL.
If they are carrier branded, the carrier decides if the BL can be unlocked.
But I guess you won't be buying Samsung either. KNOX is a pain.
I'll probably keep my G6 for another year or so. I think after that I'll hop over to a pixel phone.

well I'm from india..here only locked bootloader available..and even if i import the device bands wont match and data gives me trouble..and I'm using my old Samsung note5 kept the g6 aside from almost 2 months
Will never buy an lg phone ever again...for the simple fact that most versions are not boot unlocked. Especially in canada where I am. I got the lgg6 and still no news about a root. Ill go back to samsung.

I understand.
Here in the US, Samsung is even worse.

Hi,
Good to find some Montreal folks here By the way, I don't know if my information is correct but with Videotron or with the new law that has pass here in Quebec, when you buy a new smartphone, 2 months after you can call your carrier and tell them to fully "Unlock" your phone, meaning the BL. Just bought a week and half ago my LG G6 (coming from Nexus6P, had to change cuz battery draining fast now, gonna change the battery) and I asked the question to the seller and he confirmed to me, that in December, just call Videotron or come by and will make the call for you to get your LG G6 fully unlocked. And I told him, if ain't true i'm going back to kick his ass. And thats when he also mentioned me about the new law as well. So I don't know if this applies to other carriers (should be as long as you're in Quebec/montreal etc..) but you should double check.
By the way, are you saying that Samsungs phones when you buy them here either Videotron or Bell etc.. they are already Unlocked??? Can you confirm??
Also whats the reason you got the LG G6?? Me its mostly the Wide Angle feature. I was battling between Note8 & LG G6 and I went with the LG G6 even though I know that in terms of quality, Samsung Note 8 camera has an edge over the G6 and I heard that Note8 takes also two pics when you take a pic including a wide one but Note8 from what i've research does NOT have that WIDE ANGLE feature LG has... am I wrong???
Very curious

Hey man
Well Bootloader lock is not the same as carrier lock. The carrier lock thing you are talking about I already know about it. Its not the same thing. Everywhere in canada there will be no more carrier lock on any phone starting December amd you can call to unlock for free if u had a phone before that.
A boot lock is not the same tho. I went with LG instead of samsung cuz at the time the note 8 and s8 wasnt out yet...i was always a Samsung guy... Also the g6 looked nice and had a big screen...wht i didnt know tho is that lg has menu buttons on screen that you cannot hide unless u buy an app and they eat away from the screen making it a small screen size after all. Also lg has a bad history of not unlocking bootloaders and i didnt know that...samsung on the other hand, I was able to root on day one! All the samsung notes i had from the first nite to the note 5.
I've been trying to sell my g6 and get a note 8.
But aside from all that...the g6 is a great phone...battery life is crazy on it...it lasts a full week on one charge with heavy use. But lets face it...we are all here because we want to root and customize our phones not just to talk how nice they are haha.

Hey man, thanks for your reply and for explaining the difference btw the two Bootlaoder & carrier lock. Appreciate . Thats one other reason why I always had Google signed phone whether developed by Huawei or LG etc.. but with google phones I could as well UNLOCK them instantly.
True about LG G6 menu button on screen but for me that does NOT really bother me to be honest. First thing I did when I got my G6 is install Nova Prime Launcher and make it look like Stock android Oreo period and the rest stays LG style. You see I didn't know much about LG's bad history in regard to unlocking bootloaders
For me, I had and still have an amazing offer DEAL for the Note8 with Videotron but as long as Note can't have that G6 Wide angle option camera, I can pass the Note8 and maybe wait and see what the S9 will bring. Cuz honstly the G6 is a stunning phone just the screen is stellar. Sucks that Videotron ain't getting the V30 this time, they decided to get Pixel phones.
Oh well, lets crossfinger that a working unlock bootloader of G6 or LG will come soon
Best,
Since I like snappin photos, especially in low light conditions and I am pretty dissapointed with how lg treats its european costumers I'll definitely go for a samsung or google phone.
Hey Folks
Im thinking about getting one these 2 phones. Ive owned an G5 before, but found it quite uninspiring when it was on android 7.0, but now only the SE is available in UK ..
I dont play games on phones.. apart from maybe Candy Crush or angry birds once a month or so.. and I use a phone for Music, Media, Camera and reading News..
Im in UK.. The G5 SE is £300 BNIB and comes with the LG Cam FREE... and the G6 is £430 and has No extras (IM in UK, so No extras as in Chi Charging, No DAC, only 32GB).
Is the UK G6 worth the Extra £130, and if not, is much noticable difference between the G5 SE SD 655/3GB or standard G5 SD 820 / 4GB and is G5 SE still getting updates?
Any Advice please... Thanks
the g5 se probably going to be obsolete in 1 year and riddled with issues(weak cellular,wifi performance,GPS dropping,image retention) so go for the G6. LG screens are prone to image retention so my best advice is to buy from another brand except from LG
