In the UK considering the v10 but BootLoop looks scary! - LG V10 General

Hi All,
I am on an HTC One M7 and i am now looking for an upgrade and the v10 appears to offer everything i want (Audio, Camera, Removable Battery and SD Card) and at the moment its a very good price with the v20 having come out.
However....
oh my...
This BootLoop issue...looks pretty bad.
What do you think buy a v10 or run a mile?

My G4 boot looped so insurance replaced it in uk and have a new one. Best phone of 2015 and also hard to beat in 2016 too as the camera is so good. Ordered a v10 from eBay.com as they are so cheap in USA and hope I get lucky ,?

Im thinking i am going to go for it...
Any idea which model of the V10 is best for the UK? I am currently on o2.
Considering buying from here:

cheers

As I see 95% of devices suffering bootloop are from US and some Korea, haven't seen much/any from EU. Maybe I am mistaken. So if you take some 5% of faulty devices that is not alarming, any manufacturer have some defect units.
Any ways price you posted is bargain! I cannot find it under 420 euro in Serbia or any neighbor country.

Wow!
Is this the moto g forum? I take it it is, but it looks so quiet!
I just got my moto g today 100 quid and I know the phone is very new on the market, but I thought it would have been a lot busier here. Not even the usual nice xda phone specs header on the main page?
Either I am very lucky in getting on of these phones quick or no one is buying them lol.

Today is the first day the Moto G is sold in germany officially, in other countries the same.
So enjoy being one of the first users
The Forum JUST opened which would be why it is so quiet. Also, it is just now being released in several countries. I am excited for when it finally hits the USA and I will probably pick one up!
Too bad the 16GB is not available yet. Btw: here in the Netherlands they ask 199 EUR for 8GB ...
Patience young one.
This device has only just been released, you got to wait till January when the US get it available. The flood gates will open then.

Phones4u.. they are the only ones that I could find in the UK that have the phone in the shops...
The other shops just said Moto what? idiots lol.
Anyway because my partner had an orange sim pay as you go it reduced the price to 99,95!!! and free white cover (phone is black) looks gorgeous with the white back and black front
I was shocked it was the last shop I was going to try as there seemed no chance anyone would have it :/ and bingo, they had it.
Good luck.

Advice before buying

Hello my friends
Am a holder of a MI2
And i decided to buy Mi4 and i need your advice...
Am living in Cyprus (Europe)
1. Which sites are trusted.? And which are you recommend
2. What to choose standard English rom or multi rom
3. When do we expect black colour?
4.what shipping method to choose?
No one??
phoenix10 said:

Hi,
1) Sites that are trusted are http://www.xiaomishop.com/ and http://www.ibuygou.com/
To name a few. I would recommend xiaomishop because you can choose to ship from Europe so you avoid customs, taxes etc
2) The phone will ship with normal MIUI which has Chinese or English language . If you want more languages see the multi rom version here http://xiaomi.eu/community/
3) Black was released in China only on the 28th of October. There is no date for international availability
4) For shipping, I would recommend http://www.xiaomishop.com/
Because they have a warehouse in Europe, make sure to choose that option to make thigns easier :good:
Hope I helped.
Regards
Thank you..
So there is no black version for other countries??
Also do you know vickomall. Com? It looks to have the best prices,

No black version in other countries, not yet.
Vickmall prices are the same as xiaomishop, 389 dollars. With Vickmall they are located in China so you will have to deal with customs and taxes whereas xiaomishop has a warehouse in europe so it will be easier for you :good:
But they want 35 euros for delivery, and that is ridiculous...
since today, the black version is available on xiaomi's shop. Just ordered mine.
I've ordered both my Mi3 and Mi4 from xiaomiworld
Sent from my Xiaomi Mi4
Is it still worth buying? I don't really care a lot about LTE. I was wondering if is still a good choice Mi4 64GB and how much should i pay for a second-hand ? 300€?
Yes it is worth byuing, i'm going to update my white to black version when i see good price. Don't care 4G either, all frequencies are not supported here so i'm not gonna pay extra for it.
I like especially display and camera, also speaker phone works very well compared to other phones i've had. MIUI v6 is still work in progress, but xiaomi.eu developer versions have been good enough for daily use, not major problems so far.

Hello,
I had a Xperia Z1 before and it had some problems so I sent it to Sony just a week ago and they are going to destroy the phone and leave me with nothing (unless i pay, then i get the broken device back) so I'm looking for a new phone just after 3 months :/ The oneplus two seems nice but I don't really want to spend 400 bucks on a phone as i'm only 16 years old and don't have the money for it yet! I can get the 16gb model but my music library is about that size lol! The oneplus one seems nice but I'm not exactly sure if I should buy it or not as I've seen people post stuff about messy touch screens which is a problem I really don't want!
Has this been fixed in recent updates and is this still a good phone to get for 300 bucks(64gb)?
Thanks in advance!

Touchscreen issues have been fixed, only bad thing is that with the latest Android L, the battery isn't so good but it's possible to downgrade to kitkat.

Mentioned touch screen issues were with initial lot.. The new devices don't have any problems..
OPO is well worth the money..
Only advice would be not to upgrade to 5.1 and continue using it on 4.4..for the sake of battery of course.. [emoji56]

Yup, there's no problem with it, I got one bought in January till now and it has no issues at all, no yellow tint or touch problem. Previously I got 1 early China batch one it indeed has yellow tint, but it doesn't as annoying or visible as you think.
Also vote for staying on KK, Lollipop the battery drain like nobody business. (Stock CM12S/CM12.1, Stock Kernel too)
go ahead n buy... no device has comecloser for me in terms of value for money!! no issues left now
hopefully android m will end battery problems as well!!

Alrighty then, the device is 300 euros in Europe and that's a steal! Do you guys happen to know when they will stop selling the one to estimate how much time I have left to buy one?

I don't think they'll stop the sales anytime sooner. The phone is selling a lot even now, after a year of it's release. So take your time.
I'm sorry I didn't see the date of your query, but You will not find a better phone for the money. I won't ask how they managed to refuse to warranty the phone, but that is a shame. Hopefully you can save up some money and get one.
Hi. im also planning to trade my G3 for this device, im worried of my G3 that the crack issue will occur soon so I think of trading it for the 1+1.
is it worth it?

Yes its totally worth it. I bought my g3 in January of this year and as days pass by I started hating it. There was barely any development, the battery didn't last long,and it got pretty warm after sometime. I trade it for a one plus one and I'm not regretting it whatsoever I mean it doesn't have the fancy features like the g3 but the only thing I used on my g3 was the radio sometimes and rarely the ir blaster.

Its still a decent device, although I'm keeping an eye on the ZUK Z1 which has been announced for international release to day (available October), with Cyanogen OS. Its basically shares many of the same internal hardware with the OPO, but has some additional features like OIS, dual SIM, finger print scanner, USB Type C, bigger battery, (arguably) nicer build materials.
http://www.androidheadlines.com/2015/08/hands-cyanogen-os-powered-zuk-z1.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
Oh, they're also working on a ZUK 2 for January! Featuring the Snapdragon 820..

I sold my 64gb One Plus One (only had it for a few months, got it after the invite system went away) to fund a One Plus Two but ultimately decided to get a Mi Note instead. Love it; far happier than I was with the One. The One had ghost touches, yellowing screen, crap and a half camera (who cares about 4K if HD and FHD still look bad) and horrible onboard sound quality. The Mi is fantastic. Giant LCD (I'm 6'6" so this is a plus), OIS camera, best audio DAC I've ever hear on a phone. And I really like MIUI. One Plus MIUI is broken.
The only downside is shipping from China, but mine arrived no problem (15 days, most of those spent in some sort of customs). 16GB are roughly the same, 64GB Mi Note is cheaper than comparable OP2.
Answer to your title: No! You can find better devices with the same money.

I just got my OPO for 2 weeks.
It has yellowish band on bottom screen.
But overall I satisfy this phone. (especially I am a flashaholic user.)

I heard that band issue can be fixed by using it in the sun or putting it under some UV light, so if I have it I'll try that
To be honest, I'd take the Moto x Style or Moto x Play. With the new style center from Motorola and the 20 mp camera on the Play edition, it really stands out and may even be better then the 1+2.

In my country, the moto x style is 500 euros which is well over my budget since I wasn't planning to buy a new phone any time soon!
you mean 380 euro in your country look at coolbue.nl, the moto x play is there for 379,-

You're right about the style edition by the way, that one is 500 euros

Hi guys I just need your opinion.
Should I buy this phone or wait for the new coming phones realease this year?
I don't want to spend a flagship price tag at the time being and this phone price looks pretty appealing.

Honestly I think this phone is really good, having said that though I am in the process of returning mine. Just look at the lack of activity in these threads for this phone and lack of custom roms, if you are happy with stock phone then get it otherwise theres hardly any custom stable roms unfortunately and there sadly seems to be a lack of devs here for this phone.

I just purchased one from B&H photo. I was going to get a new one, for $110 off the purchase price, of a 32 or 64gb version. But they had used white 32gb version, 9 out of 10, for $219 free shipping, so I got that. It will be here Friday. Hope it is in good shape. For $219 can't go wrong.

They're a bunch of used one on ebay for around $250 ish (no original box), but for $40 more I would rather pay for a new device or reputable seller.

U got a real result there mate.
I have had my honor 8 for a few months now and I love it.
I hadn't rooted Etc and staying with stock on this one for a good while.
I know that people ain't happy with the custom ROM stuff that's happening or not happening.
This will change though, off you read what the devs are saying over on the custom ROM thread they are saying that they are working on thier own sources for Lineage 14.1 and once they have that sorted all of the other ROMs will quickly follow.
If I could start again with this phone would I still buy it knowing what I know about honor's lack of involvement ??
Yes I would for sure. It's a great phone with great specs.
I also have access to the pixel and I honestly prefer my Honor 8

It's a very good phone,fast,stable,good battery life and a very nice looking design. As other members said, if you plan to root and want custom rom i'm not going to recommend it, but if you stay stock, go get it. I got like one month ago and i'm happy, i didn't made root, i'm running B360 (Android 7.0) on FRD-L09 and everything it's just perfect. I like the EMUI 5.0 a lot, idk why a lot of people hate it. So, as i said, if you don't care too much about development go get it.

Will buy a v10 tomorrow! Is this a good decision?

So I was thinking about buying the LG V10 and uhh it seems like each complains it receives are all about the frigging bootloop!
So I was thinking its okay to buy this cell phone or not!?
Cause I literally got a deal for this in 170$!
So the question is am I buying a ticking time bomb or it'll be reliable for the next 1 year or so!?
I heard the 2016 or later production line up doesn't have the bootloop issue.
Not sure if that's true or not.
Please give me your opinions on this!
Thank You!

For 170 bucks for sure is a good buy, if you compare with 170$ mid range phones of today the V10 wins in almost every aspect: better camera, audio dac, excelent screen etc etc...
I own a V10 since July 2016 and until now is all fine, sure i do somethings to avoid bootloop and high temps because i dont do gaming or so and the phone is a beast.
If you use it for 1 year you are safe because i own mine for more than that time and mine is 03/2016 date of production and works flawless without any problem.
is on your hands. For 170$ new is a perfect deal, dont go to refurbished because is not the same deal so be careful.
