    hello, i hope someone could help me recently my fingerprint option disappeared from the settings if you know what i can do please tell me...

      I just received the latest software update for my LG-G5 H831 Android vers 8 on 12 Sept 2018. I am not amused. I no longer have the Fast Charge option nor is it anywhere in settings. On top of that my battery life has been considerably shortened from 10-12 hours down to 3 hours. Again nowhere in settings can this be changed. How do I resolve this short of erasing latest update.?

                  Waiting for you

                    Update - on Sept 10, 2018 my LG G5 H831 got the official Android Oreo 8.0 update. I had to use LG Bridge software to install the update. It is big, 2.2GB update . Working beautifully so far on my LG G5. Great battery life, smooth apps.

                        I took a play around with my sister phone LG G5, looks really good! Mostly about the camera, compared with my uncle iPhone 8 non-Plus, looks LG G5 performed better than the iP8, no joke. LG G5 is a clear winner on daylight due to better dynamic range, iP8 looks overblown in high-contrast but both rendered pretty equal detail. On indoor lowlight iP8 just very slightly better detail than LG G5 but very noisy and too much oversaturated. LG G5 has very natural colours lower noise but detail is can't quite match with iP8. By the way, overall LG G5 is still has pretty good camera plus the wide angle lens is one of the kind. Not a bias opinion but I don't think iP8 is not worthy to get 92 scores on DxOMark. If iP8 is worthy with that scores, LG G5 should be the same or little bit higher.

                          Clearing app cache and then rebooting might have solved my battery drain and Wi-Fi/streaming overheat. Who knows? This phone can get hot in the most random times. Problems can happen again the next day.

                          I thought I would love LG forever. I can't believe their unreliability is forcing me to choose an iPhone.

                            I'm officially done with LG. After a day going back to normal, the battery drain came back. I can't figure it out. Only been 11 months since I got it. I could do the fresh restore, but such a hassle to redo all the settings for each app. I would also need to redownload some games because LG Backup can't restore them correctly without Google Play.

                            To add insult, image retention returned. My V20 next to it which matches everything on the G5 doesn't show any since installing sFilter and that was worse. Battery life is also fairly normal. I'm banning LG for good. I'll stick to their TVs, air conditioners, and Blu-ray player instead.

                            Can't believe my iPhone SE is now my 2nd favorite smartphone ever and I can't stand iOS. But the hardware itself is very reliable. Streaming video is efficient with battery life. No image retention. No random overheating like my LGs do. If I needed a battery replacement, easy to go to the Apple Store. Not scour for cheap third-party Chinese batteries.

                            Essential Phone is still my favorite even though I'm still going through my honeymoon phase with it and extremely difficult to repair.

                              Oreo update is good but color of icons cause more screen retention. Thermals are good and set didn't heat too much on power usage. Long press on icon provide quick access to app features. Camera and video player has been changed.

                                Tested my G5 again to check if it was some fluke and it's not. Problem solved. Update MX Player Pro and battery drain (1% every 2 minutes) is gone for good.

                                I actually went back to my original battery. It's more worn out but was manufactured later (Nov 2016). The one I started using two nights ago that came with the free charging cradle was made in March 2016. I looped the same 10-min YouTube again and the more worn out one actually gave me better results. I didn't lose 1% from it. Update apps when you see severe battery drain.

                                75-25 or 85-25 rule is also beneficial to follow. Since my G5 is now mostly at home, I do the 75-45 rule. I want these batteries to last as long as they could because after two years, you are stuck with Chinese batteries for replacements. The OEM replacements would be as old as the one you have.

                                  I figured out my battery drain. I needed to update my MX Player Pro app. So far, it no longer drains 1% every two minutes or less when streaming YouTube. My other three phones will lose 1% every 5 minutes or so. Back to being a great phone for me!

                                  I would still put the Essential Phone on top only because obviously it's newer, better build quality, smaller, faster, Pie, and the image retention did return on my G5. Not completely off the hook. I am going to do the 75/25 rule with my battery discharges/charges.

                                  That battery drain bothered me all day. Safe mode proved there was a rogue app. MX Player Pro all along just needed to be updated.

                                  I really started to consider getting OnePlus 6T from T-Mobile if I couldn't fix this G5 battery drain with a fresh restore. Next up, good battery charging habits.

                                    It's use to be good, but I have enough of waiting for a update to Oreo. Have a camera that doesn't focus and battery is going down fast. For sure, my next phone is not a LG.

                                      I'm going to Sony. As of late, I've been loving my Sony PS4 slim more and more since getting Shenmue HD Collection. Only bad Sony product I ever used was the first Sony PS1 1001 model that I had to turn upside down to read discs. The 9001 model, PS2 5001, PSP 1001, PS Vita slim, and PS4 slim have all worked beautifully.

                                      LG is a mess. No wonder the G5 flopped. This is my second G5 and only got it less than a year ago. Already giving me problems. I still prefer it over my V20 because the UI is smoother and it's smaller. But it looks to me I may never use the G5 again as my daily driver. It's strange how good it is with tethering (screen off) but SOT is gawd awful. If I typed this message for 5 minutes, I'd lose 3% already.

                                      Removable batteries is also kinda overrated. After two years, you will end up with Chinese third-party brands that are mostly crap. My Xiaomi Mi 3 with the original SEALED battery has better battery life than my G5 with SOT and that's over 4-years-old! Surprisingly hasn't swelled up yet. While LG removable batteries become crap after only a year!

                                        This G5 is falling off for me among my favorites. It used to be #1. Has fallen to #3 and could go down further.

                                        I updated my apps and for the last few days, I'm getting severe battery drain. If I stream YouTube, I lose 1% every two min. I started using the spare battery I never used and the problem still occurs. Then I did safe mode and streaming was back to the normal 1% every 4-5 minutes. I could have a rogue app. I hate having to restore it all again but I just might. I also thought sFilter stopped the ghosting and it returned twice the last 24 hours.

                                        Went back using a plain black wallpaper. Becoming worse and worse. My V20 has held up better with battery and I updated the apps the same day. No ghosting returned either although it has a near plain black wallpaper already. It does LAG more while G5 drains faster. I obviously will still keep both around as I use them to control my Samsung TV every day.

                                        It seems my iPhone SE is moving up from #4 to #2. And I can't stand iOS but hardware-wise, the iPhone is just more reliable than LG. Battery life is still excellent and it's older. Going to swap it for a new one before the year ends. Problem is I could never use iPhone as a daily driver. Such a reliable device but the software lacks things I need like a great call block app and torrent apps. LG just doesn't seem reliable for either hardware and software. Would never get a Samsung though.

                                        Going Sony or OnePlus next.
