repairpalng but I wouldn't advice you to

Ex0rrcist:

Hi, sorry. Why wouldn't you advise them to?

Karac:


I got 5G on my phone tho. It was there briefly late 2023 and then it disappeared and all I was getting was 4g. The 5G signal is back on my phone tho; reappeared yesterday.

Karac:

Just a lil bit faster than 4g nothing special

Not a real 5G, FYI. LG v60 doesn't have the required 5G bands needed to host 5G in Nigeria, thus it'd be impossible to host 5G on unsupported 5G frequencies.

Ping it and you'd see it's basically 4.5G /4G+.

Karac:


Not unique to lgv60. Naija 5G altogether is a facade.

Mine was going off at 20% and had to change it.

You probably you got a fake one.

Kaveco:


Where did you get your battery from?

Also, have you sold your scrap phone? I'd love to buy that battery

Kaveco:


Not really. I've seen some crazy 5g speeds. 700Mbps, 900Mbps. This can never be 4G+

Seyilome:
As beauty lg8 is, the down side of the phone is the poor battery the phone can off at 58% even it off 80%, I don't think I will ever buy any lg phone again, I am giving it to my kid soon, he should be using it as toy

Karac:


On which device?

See ehn, it is very sad and frustrating. Since May or so, I have gotten 3 new batteries. I got the 3rd yesterday. And the useless new battery went off at 23%. New battery o. The sad thing is it's only going to get worse. The first one I got didn't last 3 weeks before it started dying at 55% and I had to get another. The 2nd that I changed yesterday was dying at 65-70%. In fact, the battery was swollen and my phone could not close. I couldn't use my fingerprint scanner again 💔.

I know someone who works at LG service centre in Indonesia. He has access to original G8 batteries from Korea. But he told me they don't ship batteries via air, and ship would take a few months. He also said I couldn't buy 1 because of weight whatever. So if you're willing to still buy a battery for your G8, maybe we could buy two? Idk if they can ship two.

Since May, I've spent almost 40k on batteries. I spent 10k yesterday (minus tfare). I'm tired.

PS: all the batteries I've been getting are from different vendors at Ikeja.

But I know someone who sells batteries. He has G8 battery for 7500. 8500 if you order from his Jumia page. you could try and give your engineer to fix while we wait for the original battery to come.

PS: I didn't buy from him yesterday. I just went to a recommended engineer direct.

If the Asian guy say 2 batteries no work, I go just rest once this one pack up.

The phone has tried. 3 years

Seyilome:

To me I don't think the problem is from the battery I think the phone (motherboard) is the one doing this to the battery , I only guess so, I am not stressing myself on this phone I have a better phone that I am using , I am only using it for my daily drive phone .(calls,SMS,WhatsApp) cos it is very small at hand. The phone is not up to 5months self for my hand, I will buy another phone, I still lobe to buy the lg g8x but I am afraid ,cos of its battery, I don't want to experience the same issue. I think Oneplus should be better. thanks bro

Kaveco:


It is the battery. I have used this phone for almost 3 years and it wasn't this bad last year (even with the ancient original battery). The new ones can't measure up at all

Kaveco:


iPhone

I think G8x battery is different from G8.

Cash and carry

Na market you come buy ooo...anyways buying and selling na negotition sha

even though people go talk say e dey impossible, I dey hope to find the 256gb version of the V60

no be say the price no good but try reason the inflation wey dey country now

IbrahimMav:

USBC To TypeC will take appr 2hrs to fully charge, while USBA to TypeC will take appr 3hrs to fully charge.

My LG v60 doesn't take 3hrs to charge to full on USB-A to USB-C cable, it is up to 30 to 45mins less...I haven't done an actual measurement though

But one thing to note is that I have a rooted, SYS-RW V60 and I have switched most apps to foss/open source alternatives for those that have foss alternatives...

I think the only stock apps I left untouched were anything pertaining to Audio majorly, then video...so even when I play games like FIFA14, NFSMW and other apps running in background, the phone only gets lightly warm and it is like that most of the time...I never try CODM, PUBG and other online games to know if the V60 will get hot...

The phone can handle whatever you throw at it...why I got it was because of:
1a. I could use it excellently on A10...I no get time for the scoped storage rubbish on A11+
1b. It is rootable abeg...even if e no get custom rom support which is understandable since it is an audio/video phone

2. The audio capabilities but some review say V20, V30/V35and sometimes V40 have better sound stage than V60 since V60 was not tuned by BO or Meridian, they say it was LG in house that handled V60 sounding. An advantage of the V60 is that it can give good sound by dynamically adjusting, enabling/disabling features but for older V series...more manual input is needed

3. It can handle creative work well and getting second screen is a plus and might be considered an advantage to fold phones durability/longetivity wise...replacing a fold screen if anything happens no be beans and I no sure if them get screen protector



and as for the failing charging port on V60, it is a concern when looking at reviews but my own no dey gimme issue and e never fail once and no be say I dey dey careful with am, so e fit be model/region dependent

I get S9 from jand direct and the cable follow am come but sometimes, I go plug am, everything dey fine, remove cable con plug am back, warning go pop up say 'foreign object' dey the port ...so maybe na to just pray say the market person buy go serve am well...

Aceed:


can you list phones that support Nigeria 5G bands?

Karac:


Not unique to lgv60. Naija 5G altogether is a facade.

IbrahimMav:

Many phone brands support Nigeria 5G but the popular brands are...
Samsung 5G enabled phones launched from 2020 till date (S, A, & Z series), Xiaomi 5G enabled phones, Oneplus from series 8 to current, Tecno 5G enabled phones, Iphone from iphone 12 to current.

Aceed:


as for the charging, I tried it yesterday, mine took about 1hr 45mins (+/-5mins* from 0-100 on fast charging, phone off...the phone went off at 1%...USB-A to USB-C cable but I am using an essager charger from jboixxx...

IbrahimMav:


How long have you used your phone 'cause a LG V60 battery close to full factory capacity takes 2hrs+ or more to fully charge on a fast charger using Type A to type c USB.

A slightly degraded battery will naturally take less time to fully recharge.

To prolong your battery health, I'd advice you to avoid charging from 0-100, always endeavour to stop at 85-95.

Also, don't allow your battery to discharge below 15. Endeavour to switch off your phone at 20% if you are unable to charge it at that point in time.

Last but not the least, don't use your phone while it's charging.

Aceed:


I got it used...I have been using for about 2-3 months

and yes I have a battery charging limiter set @95% but that only works if the phone is on... and yesterday was the first time since I got the phone that it died due to low battery

light usage takes me up to a day, if not more than

watching movies/tutorials it takes me up to 18hrs or more....it is only movies not series I watch to the end...tutorials is more like 45mins to 1hr sessions 3-4 times a day

playing games isn't for extended periods too and most of the games I play are not as tasking as newer titles...

I average 7-12hrs of screen time with and I have ~30% of battery time left...most times it is above 30% left

IbrahimMav:

Since you got it used, the battery is obviously no longer at full capacity, hence the faster charging but even a LG V60 battery at 80% health will have a better SoT on average than most phones' battery running at 95-100% nowadays. You made mention at an earlier post that your V60 is rooted, so it could also be a factor, as a rooted phone unlocks and gives you complete access to your phone CPU & GPU. The SoC, SD865 is one of the most power and performance efficient SoC ever made till date, so by rooting your phone you had exponentially enhanced its performance.

You've a machine on your hands. Enjoy.

true...that's why I made some long posts for explanation, I might have gotten my device in a good condition but I have done a lot of tweaking

I have S9 which I mostly use to take notes when watching videos on V60 and as a hotspot device when using hourly plans

Now, I have disabled most apps, even play services and play store, using shizuku+hail combo butthe S9 still gets hot without any usage causing the battery to die quickly without even me using the phone at all

although, AOD is always on, and the place that generates heat the most is the home button on AOD
