LG V20

Perhaps can disable game battery saver

Done that, doesn't help a thing. I believe its due the CPU scaling as phone heating up. Do you have the laggy boot animation as well? Just want to confirm mine is not a defective set..

But isn't using a powerbank to charge e battery more efficient

To me, sometimes when I'm on the go, a cable connecting to my phone is hindering.

Same here. Pokemon GO started to stutter when the phone heated up. I'm not sure it will happen for other games as well but something is just not right. Even my Xiaomi Note 3 runs smoother with Pokemon Go. I hope it's not due to hardware issue because of the heat. Also, it may be due to the low ram availability since the memory usage is so high even without the game running.

Unfortunately, we noticed thermal throttling - the LG V20 would heat up and benchmark scores would fall on second and third runs.

i think its too much effort needed to drive that QHD display. Not surprise that a 1080p xiaomi can run more easily. And heat buildup in such a slim body is inevitable.

maybe pokemon go might even be the least of your worries, better do some video recording stress test and see if prolonged video recording causes throttling and dropped frames which can easily happen if youre trying to shoot a long 4k video

Hmm true. I have not try with 4K recording. Regardless this is really bad for a flagship as I do more gaming than 4K recording.

I thought the front screen can dbl tap n e phone will unlock or turn on. V10 has that function, V20 not possible doesnt has it right.

On holiday in Taiwan now and the problems with auto mode camera shots are slowly building up. Trying to learn how to shoot in manual but that's going to take a while as I can't tell an exposure from an aperture from a hole in the ground lol.

Everything else is great though, battery life is champion


That's something I've always hated, coming from the front sensor on the iPhone. So much easier to unlock the phone cuz you don't need to pick it up off the table. The V20 isn't the only phone with a rear sensor, so I won't hold that against LG

With thermal throttling, frames drop may just be a matter of time should the camera buffer get filled up faster than the CPU can process.. Coming from the unfortunate Note 7, I can't help but feels that V20 is no where close to SAMSUNG in both hardware and software department..

Me too. I would start to worry about video recording when I am on a getaway. With this performance, I believe I will have to ROOT the phone in order to make full use of the hardware.

Same thoughts here. Seems like LG skin is just as heavy as Samsung touchwiz too.

It does have double tap function

 

[tnchsg]

change to other launcher, i am using v10 and v10 experienced the same thing...

To play POGO with superb battery life, go to Game Battery Saver and change the individual game resolution to low. The visual effect is still ok and battery life is 20% drain with about 2 hours of POGO. Somemore it is not hot to touch at all. I think only V20 can do this

That works but then I need to unlock the phone. Two-step process for something that's only one step for phones with front facing fingerprint scanners.

Again, not a huge deal and not something that's a strike against the V20 since there're other phones with rear scanners as well. Just personal observation

If u knock twice, locked screen appears. then need to unlock with pin. If u use finger sensor, home screen appears. No need pin, Sensor quite accurate once set.

Go to settings/display/advanced settings. Double knock is there to activate.

just set a Knock Code Unlock.

you can wake and unlock straight using this (6 taps on the screen at your selected areas)

Seems like people using the phone more than 1-2 weeks are beginning to complain.

But most of the complaints seem to be a personal preference with the software.

Ain't that bad yet since we don't have any hardware failures or defects yet.

Same same but goni well known to take eons to ship, hope they prove me wrong this time

For all who ordered with Goni, just got Qoo 10 to cancel mine. He took a record 11 days to *not* ship this time, compared to my V10 which was *only* 9 days.

Fingerprints sensor is a great feature. A touch n phone wakes up at home screen. However, you need to set 'on' double knock at advanced settings.
