Netflix has just dropped HDR support for LG G6 - LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hi,
I've just noticed that after latest application update Netflix has dropped the HDR video support on LG G6.
Looks like it's broken in Android 9.0 update.
Some time ago I thought it's working well, after I compared the video quality with Sony Xperia XZ2. At the first sight it seemed to be working OK, but it was not.
So, sad news, actually, taking also into account we don't know about any other system update being prepared for the LG G6.

Hi, I didn't update G6 to Pie but recently I noticed that HDR option disappeared on netfix and I digged out that the reason is the update of the application itself. Returning to the older version from October 2019 solves my problem HDR and HQ image. I will also add that the latest version of the application indicated that the material can be played max in SD quality (?!). In the older version there are no such annotations but I think the image quality is much better.

With latest, updated Pie release (30b) the HDR in Netflix is back in place.

Google cam app

Does anybody knows how to put google camera app working on LG V10 with panorama and sphere features?
Check out this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/modded-google-camera-hdr-60fps-video-t3658552
On one hand it sounds promising, but on the other it still relies on a Snapdragon 820 or later.
so there is no way to install on V10
You can actually if you're on Android N, use Arnova's version. HDR doesn't seem to be in effect though.

Lag and lost frames in youtube hdr

hello to all, greetings from Spain, I open this issue because since last Friday I am the new owner of lg v30, but I have a problem that I do not like at all, and I would like to know if the same thing happens to you too
on YouTube, I've put some videos of these shows to see the screen and others, and I noticed that the videos in 1080p60 are pretty lag, and quite annoying frame losses, like stoppages, (in one of Youtube videos, a demo of LG, a red car comes out, and happens to be next to the camera and the next frame is already 2 meters, I do not know if I explain) and I'm quite fussy about this issue, what I put the same video to 1080p also in a leeco le pro 3, and it looks fluidisimo, perfect .... why can this be? Someone else happens?
I do not know if you can put links, if you can please tell me and I'll post the video so you can try it if you can see it well
Another question, does your phone heat up? is that I notice it hotter than the leeco, as soon as I put some video like this 1080p60 gets tempered by the area of ​​the camera, I do not know if that is normal or not
Thank you very much and hopefully answer
Happens to me too. I also tested this on a Galaxy S8 and it has identically bad performance. It probably also happens on the Note 8. 1080p30 HDR runs fine though. I didn't notice any heating - maybe just slightly warm but could as well be from my hands. Was the other phone you tested HDR capable?
I don't know if I can help you at all, but perhaps if you fill in some blanks, others might.
1) What model phone do you own and what firmware are you on (stock, stock rooted, custom ROM, etc)? You can check your firmware under Settings.
2) Can you link us to a video that's giving you problems?

hello, thank you very much for answering
1) my phone is lg v30 h930, stock, just removed from the box without touching anything, and the software version is V21w-EUR-XX
2) this problem happens to me in all the videos that I play on YouTube 1080p60 HDR (if I put the same video in 720p60 HDR the problem improves a lot, it becomes almost imperceptible) but the problem is that youtube does not give the option to deactivate the hdr, so if the video has that option, it activates it
I give you some examples of the videos that I have tried and they are very annoying ( It does not let me put links because I have less than 10 messages, I put the description of the youtube thumbnail, the first videos come out )
on youtube put "lg oled demo ", and play the first video, which shows a teapot in the thumbnail, and the video that shows a butterfly in the thumbnail, both are 4k Hdr 60fps
the phone I have it all activated, the HDR, I have not activated any energy savings, this all to the maximum ... I do not know what can happen, I do not know if it is the snapdragon 835 problem that can not with so much demand .... Do you think that could be why?
I have a pocophone f1 my brother, and the same video runs smoothly, very very fluid, but does not allow HDR, but I do not want hdr only make it look fluid
I've also noticed a bit of lag in chrome, in firefox it's better to scroll
Do you think it will be solved in any way? is that if I'm not return it and buy another phone thinking, something like pocophone because they do not have that kind of budget : llorando:
thank you very much and I hope response
I just tested that first video you suggested (the one with the teapot thumbnail) and I had absolutely no issues with playback. No stutter or lag with either the video or audio.
It's perfectly smooth, and really a lovely video.
I'm not an expert on HDR (since I don't use this device to watch movies or TV shows via Netflix or any other service), but as far as I can tell, the HDR triggered properly.
I have HDR turned on Settings, of course, and it's my understanding that you can tell when HDR turns on (when you rotate to Landscape) because the white Youtube pause/play buttons (amongst others) get very bright compared to Portrait view (which is supposed to disable HDR).
I also have never had any issues with Chrome. But I don't use FireFox, so I can't really compare the two.
I'm using an American open market US998 LG V30 on stock 20D (an old firmware from around June/July 2018), rooted.
I plan on updating my phone to the newest stock firmware one of these days, but haven't gotten around to it.
I have no idea what's going on with your phone. I understand it's new.
Maybe try checking to see if there's an OTA firmware update ready for you to install? (You might be running system software even older than mine, with a flawed HDR implementation).
Maybe there are some bloatware apps that came with your phone that are impacting performance.
Perhaps a factory reset could help?
I'm sorry I can't be of more help.
Que tengas buena suerte.
When i Am on STOCK ROM there is stutter and lag..
Install A CUSTOM ROM (tested on dot os) The colors still look vivid and plays smooth!! Absolutely no lag
I have had this issue since I first took my V30 out the box. Have the latest update for stock ROM/ VS996/Verizon. I gave up trying to troubleshoot this issue.
im using vanced as default YouTube app. it has an option to enable VP9 codec, that'll make your playback smoother even at 1440p60fps. But it kill HDR (but the color still the same tho). Shame, that V30 couldn't play HDR, because this phone is one of YouTube Signature Devices https://devicereport.youtube.com/phones/lg_v30.
Update: When I play that "lg oled demo" video, it doesn't stutter, I don't notice any of them. But when play "peru hdr" it stutter a lot. I'm using H932 latest stock. Try to activate that VP9 codec if you don't want HDR after all. Also, I don't use Chrome anymore, I disable it and using others. try Kiwi or Brave both are chromium based if you prefer chrome-like interface. If Firefox feels better so stick with it.
Just turn off hdr in display settings, every lg v30 has this problem. I think it's because hw decoder cannot keep up so this problem applies to every snapdragon 835 phone. Hw is capable of 1080p30fps HDR in vp9, 1080p60fps HDR is on the limit and can drop frames. HDR is gimmick for me, it is not well implemented. The quality is much worse than normal videos. For me bigger problem is that oled screen cannot reproduce dark colors because of low uniformity when pixels are barerly turned on and very slow response time in that matter too but that's for another topic.

Stock camera and HD Audio recorder from Android 8

Hello people. I just loaded LineageOS 16 on my LG V30 H930(Europe) and after trying out the stock camera and audio recorder on the Android 8 that came with the phone I gotta say I really miss those. Does anyone know if I can get those two stocks apps from Android 8 back? I tried Gcam so far, but it's not what I need. I miss features like the manual mode in photo and video shooting, Log recording, being able to switch between the normal lens and wide angle lens and more. Also, the HD Audio recorder came with some neat presets for lossless recording. Any solutions to this?
Thank you for your time!

No. LG V30 stock camera is one of the most requested features for the AOSP/Lineage ROMs and if it could be done, it would have been done by now.
Magisk mods like Anxious V30 from @TotallyAnxious even have cameras from LG G7/LG V40 -- but again is intended to only work with rooted stock firmware.
-|Enables|--
All Lockscreen Weather Animations, Anxious Kernel Script, DTS:X 3D Surround, Dual Speaker for North American Variants, EmojiOne 4.5 w/ Water Gun, Falsified Advanced DAC Mode, G7/V40 App Profiles, G7/V40 Camera Features (Google Lens, Rear Portrait Mode, Stickers, Super Bright Camera, Updated AI & Filter Data, Updated Camera App, Updated Gallery App), Google Phone (Stable), Google Sans, Pixel Roboto & Various Other Fonts, Pixel WiFi Mod, Sunshower as Default Alarm, QMemo+ 7, The big adventure as Default Ringtone, Updated Relevant System Overlays, US GPS Config, YouTube Vanced (Black), V40 Equalizer Settings;

She builds it to work with North American variants, specifically US998 and VS996 -- but others with H30 and H930DS have also managed to run it. But if you complain about the module not working with non-US998 or non-VS996, she will ignore you. One guy was able to run past version on his H930DS, and then complained a newer version didn't work. Don't do that. I think he now has even newer version working, but it's nothing @TotallyAnxious will help you with.
She also doesn't entertain suggestions about what else her mod should do or should not do, or how she should supply vast amounts of information in a catalog of every new release. It's her personal module she is sharing with the world -- and it only needs to work on her personal phone. Having said that, it's a big reason why I am still on stock rooted firmware on my US998 V30+.
I'm rooted, I have TWRP custom recovery, I have ad blocker, I have some mods that improve my phone.

Got it. Thank you for your response. This was my first root ever so I'm pretty much a noob. I guess I'll get back to stock rooted Android 8.. the camera is one of the most important features in this phone. For me that is. A bit sad, I'm really loving the Pie interface. Guess I'll be waiting for LG's official release.

HDR on YouTube

Hello everyone,
I just noticed that some YouTube videos are running in HDR (Boost of color and luminosity) even though the honor V10 is not supposed to be HDR ready.
I tried on Netflix but there's nothing indicated so I guess it doesn't work.
I am running the android 10 beta.
Does anyone have this behaviour ? (Android 9 or 10)
Best regards
Same here in Android 9.1.
When playing a HDR video all the color get vibrant(very punchy and saturated).
Somethings kicks in because even the drop down menu/toggles and the search results have vibrant colors while playing the video.
Later later edit: DRM info says that HDR is suported

Shooting video with all lenses not available for the 5g version

So i've recently updated to colorOS 7.1 and i've read that one of the new feaures was that we could now shoot video with the 3 lenses.
I've tested this and in the app i don't see the option to do so , i've set the recoding settings to 1080p and 30fps with no luck , my version is CPH1921EX_11_C.26 ,
Can anyone using the same phone confirm that it is not available?
Is there a setting i'm missing that could turn this function on?
Thanks in advance
In the no 5g version that came with the c.28 update, but It seems that the updates are not the same for both devices so I don't know.
I have the Aussie Reno 5G with build CPH1921AU_11_C.26.
It only uses the top camera to record video with 1x to 5x zoom... If you use the super steady option then it removes any zoom function.
Only one camera is used to film video...
