Hi all. Long time Android rooter, long time LG user...
Where can I buy the Velvet Dual Screen accessory online? I've looked high and low and cannot find it anywhere.
I am well aware it's a 2020 device and it's now Jan 2nd, 2023... but I love LG phones, want a new phone with a headphone jack (on the bottom) and... long story short, the Velvet ticks all my boxes. I've found places to buy the Velvet online, but not the dual screen. I think the dual screen will make the phone more efficient for my needs.
Does anyone know where I can buy online?

My best advice is to buy a second hand last gen flagship phone on ebay. For example the Galaxy Note 2 is going for around that price.
For $200 you are limiting yourself to pretty low-end devices id you buy new.
You can buy a good smartphone in this budget. You can prefer Nokia X, Samsung Galaxy S Duos, Nokia Lumia 525 and Gionee M2. These all are good quality phone with lots of smart features.
OnePlus One
OnePlus X
Moto G 2015
LG G2 from here only £80
LG G3 from here only £120
the last two are from ebay i cant post link im not high enough level to post outside links there from a guy called cell-plaza on ebay
the last 2 are real iv used them for both phones the LG g2 was for my GF i shoved cyanogenmod 13 on it
the LG G3 was for my dad and i also shoved Cyanogenmod 13 on it as well
Hi! I currently have a Sony Xperia Z C6606 with Bell, and was wondering if it was worth upgrading or not. My phone have a problem with the earphone jack (only one ear work), and since rainwater got in, the small thing inside the port is now red. Because of that, Bell says that it's water damaged (which is not, as it was working w/o problem until I most likely used too much force with the jack), so now I need to pay 250$+ to get a new phone since mine is not available anymore. That's why I was thinking of either getting a most likely new phone for 250$ or so (I'll ask if it's possible to get a recent phone), or get a phone from China. The phone in question I was thinking about was the Kolina K100+ MTK6592T 2GB Ram IPS FHD for ~170$ CAD. What do you guys think? Go for the new phone for roughly 250$ or get the Chinese one? If I get either, I'll give the Xperia to my dad's wife, so it's a good way to get rid of it. Thanks! ^^
Hello,
I am going to buy a new smartphone soon and I only have £100 to spend on it. What I want from it is to have a big screen (Maybe 5"?) with a a quiet large battery so it would work a bit, maybe dual sim and to be able to root it easily and put custom Android on it such as CyanogenMod etc. The rest stuff like camera, NFC etc I don't really care about, The most important for me is the screen size and battery life and various modifications I can do with such smartphone. What do you guys think and what would you recommend to buy ? I have found Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 16GB 13MP Unlocked from Hong Kong for a £100 on Ebay but I think that price for such device is suspicious, what do you people think about it ? The eBay item number is 111849677878.
Many Thanks !

A good phone for 100 quid is hard to find. They will start most likely around 200 quid. Try looking for the OnePlus One. If not new maybe used and it will save you some money. I see the OnePlus one starting at 200 quid atm.
Hi Guys, i just broke the LCD on my RS988 and I'm Looking for a decent replacement for the screen + digitizer + mid frame, any suggestions ???
Hi I have Titan Gray RS988 in good condition (9/10) and don't need it anymore. Willing to sell it for $40-50 if you trade it. Transaction through swappa.com pm if interested.
From what I remember, there is only one choice in screen - the oem LG screen, and they are cheap.
Now LG may use slightly different variations of screen panel between models so make sure it's specifically for RS988.
That said, you may get unlucky and stumble upon some fake aftermarket variation (though I did not see such when I bought mine) so look at pictures there should be a label that has LG serial number and stuff.
Just look on Aliexpress there should be plenty of real ones, if not all.
It seems like I was only able to find the dual screen case for the korean version of the phone. I've seen reviews all over the place that shows dual screen capability but I cannot find anywhere to buy it.
I was able to find one ebay link and in the details it says it doesn't work for the USA version. (I can't post it being a new user)
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Only the Korean and European version have the three pings on the back, that powers the second screen. The USA version does not have them. Here's a picture as an example.
Some how in the USA we got screwed. No dual screen, I didn't find out until I got mine. Dual screen was the main reason why I got the V50
What are you talking about?

The dual screen uses a USB C connection for power.

In the US LG only sells the dual screen for the G8X, The V50 Thinq 5G from Verizon fits in the case fine but does not have the necessary software to detect the screen.
It appears if someone could understand the code on this page it should be possible to make it work with the US model.
Did anyone ever figure this out? I bought what was called a Verizon LM-V450VN and it most definitely has the 3 pogo pins on the back of the phone. I'm thinking it was a Korean version that has Verizon software on it. I was able to update it OTA Verizon
so at least that worked. I also picked up a second screen case for it that has the 3 pogo pins in the case. When I snap it all in though the second screen will not come on. I'm thinking this is the Verizon software. Would the way around this be to try to install the Korean software? If anyone has had success with this I'd sure love to know.

The second screen is available on Amazon for $199.
After reading all of the horror stories about the second screen hinges breaking screens coming out of the carrier etc I decided against it.
