LG G7 - Only 9 threads?

PitCarver · Dec 11, 2018

Lately, my old S5 is showing signs of impending death. Checked the Verizon site for a suitable replacement and think that the G7 may be what I'm looking for.
My next visit was to see what was said, here, on AF. Either it's so good, no one has issues, it's crap and no one has bothered with it.
Even the cheap Walmart phone that I bought to use as a music player has more than this.

What's up with the G7?

G7 is a good phone. My wife and son are happy with theirs.
And I got very good deal from T-Mobil (finally dumping Sprint) during Thanksgiving week with BoGo sale, so each phone was $250.00 ($10.00 per month for 24 months).

Yeah, not sure about the scant threads in this forum, but for me, my G7 has been excellent (Verizon). With the exception of some misbehaving apps, I've had no issues

After my horrible experience with the LG G6, I was left with a very suspicious and negative view of LG. With the G6 it was 10 months of endless problems. The chances of me owning another one are slim to probably absolutely never :rolleyes:

Ah man, sorry to hear that. I jumped from the G5 to the G7. I had minimal, if any issues with my G5.

I got the LG G6 to replace my Nexus 6. I had been having problems for months with my Nexus 6, I had done darn near everything short of rooting the device to keep it going.
I researched dozens and dozens of phones, Anroid , iPhones, I looked at everything LG, htc, Samsung and apple had out, I checked Amazon and look at various phones. I complied a list and pound for pound the LG G6 keep coming in first place. It had stellar reviews. Yet my gut kept telling me not to buy it. I think my alternate choice was a note 8. But the day we went to TMobile the note note 8 was $850 and the lg G6 was $550, price won out.
But now the LG G6 is a memory

It's a matter of semantics now.
Perhaps I should correct the title to add 9 "other" threads. Still, I would have thought that it would have generated more discussion.

dontpanicbobby · Dec 14, 2018

The less problems you have the less discussions.

Okay so this thread is about phone problems, well gather around boys and girls and listen to my tale of woe.
I was but a wee lad when my mom and husband#3 moved us to a semi trailer park several miles outside of the town of Olathe Colorado.
This was 1978 or 1979 back then Olathe had pretty much nothing going for it and today well it's a pretty much a semi functioning ghost town.
As people being to move further out into the country side the small town of Olathe had begun to install telephone poles and power lines.
The place my parents bought was roughly a half mile or mile to where the telephone poles came to an end. In our little section where three or four other trailer homes all without phone service and power.
So how did we communicate :thinking:

Normally we would walk over to the neighbors and speak with them or typically you would meet at the local dinner , the adults would talk about everything under the sun from A-Z while us kids ran off to do whatever kids do in a one stop light town

By the time we moved away we still hadn't gotten telephone service o_O

40 years latter...

Why do you live so close?

Are you feeling claustraphobic @PitCarver?
There's a wider android universe out there.
Trust me. I was a Microsoft MVP.

Try Pocketnow. Jaime's a straight talker and uses Iphonez too.

PitCarver · Dec 17, 2018

Lol, I'm limited to what I can find in the Verizon universe.
Something about being old and set in my ways.

If I had my way my S5 would last forever.

PitCarver · Dec 22, 2018

I may be too late to get a G7. Version tells me that I can upgrade to a V40 with an increase of $20.00 a month.

The V40 only has 1 discussion.
I learn a lot about different devices from the discussions here, so I now know that Tube517 is getting 2 credit card cases, for the V40.

chanchan05 · Dec 22, 2018

Depends on what forum. The other forum I'm on has over 200 threads and 2000 posts in the G7 ThinQ forum. Nowhere near Samsung or Pixel numbers, but it's there. Most people I think go for V series if we're talking LG.

dontpanicbobby · Dec 24, 2018

Myself? I could care less.
I'm not an influencer.
Still getting lag in some local apps.
My bus schedule could be easier to use.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you LG G7 users.

1st quarter of 2019 we should get a new OS!

That's usually a good thing.

dontpanicbobby · Jan 14, 2019

Still less than 100 threads.
Way less

Well, I'll not be adding any additional threads, here, after all.

The boss lady called and told me that she ordered an LG V40 to replace my S5. I've been using an old Motorola ever since the Samsung died.

It comes Thursday...

dontpanicbobby · Jan 16, 2019

Looking forward to your review @PitCarver
Kinda big though. I really love the LG G7 hand feel. Please mention that when you review the V40. Samsung's S5 was a slim goodie too IIRC?

nailzer · Jan 28, 2019

Here's my story. I have an HTC10, which I LOVE(!), but, last weekend I was attempting to transfer a file to the SD card. About half way through the transfer it stopped. I unplugged the phone and looked at settings and the card wasn't recognized. it had been in the phone for almost three years. Popped it out and tried a known good 16gb SD card. Nothing. Everything else on the phone works fine.
So today I'm waiting on FedEx to bring my new LG G7 phone.

dontpanicbobby · Jan 31, 2019

Up to nine posters twelve threads.

nailzer · Feb 2, 2019

Random thoughts on my new LG G7. I've spent a few days setting everything on my new G7 the way I want to. The LG file transfer app is great! I'm still waiting on my new Metro By T-Mobile SIM to come. The audio on this phone is freaking AWESOME! So far I'm happy as SPIT with this phone!
