I bought a "claim... moreSome moisture/condensation or water probably got into your V20's internals - usually through headphone jack. That's why its showing the headphone jack even when there's none.
When you see the headphone jack logo when there's none attached, it should alert you to a short in the circuitry of the unit which is usually due to moisture. You should have removed the battery and allow it to dry. Water damage is irreversible. Once you continue using a phone with one, it will heat up as you noticed, and fry the circuit, causing hardware and correspondingly bootloop. Return the unit if it was never near water or didn't have condensation. It probably already has it even before shipment or during shipment (improper storage/packing).
With water damage, circuits can fry and cause bootloop.

LG V20 BOOTLOOP is a REAL THING!!
I bought a "claimed barely used, looks nearly new" used V20, it was working fine although I did notice the cpu temperature is a bit higher (no games, just browsing would reach 68 degree celsius sometimes).
On the 42nd day of usage, I found out that it got struck in headphone mode with no headphone inserted at all, and no matter what I did, it won't go away, I decided to restart the phone in order to get rid of it. It then entered the vicious cycle of bootloop.
It kept rebooting on the logo screen, even after swapped with several batteries (including new one and LG original one), on charge, plugged to computer. It now won't charge, the computer won't recognise it, hard reset (factory data reset) won't work, all methods are in vain.
I believed in everyone saying "no more bootloop in V20", and this is how I ended up. I am desperate. V20 may probably has a lesser chance of bootloop, but I am a real victim of it.

Amazing phone that really stood the test of time. It's 4 years old this month (released in October 2016) and it's still alive and kicking ass, and still a lot more versatile and useful for a wide variety of things and for longer than even the newer flagship phones of 2020.

The advantage of the removable battery !

I had to agree with the several comments below that this is one hell of a great phone.
I had 2 - both using Perfine battery 4100 mah bought from AliExpress, enough juice to last more than 1 day. That removeable battery feature is a gem. I take it anytime over the nice glass looking modern phones released these days.
Recently, I had to changed the speaker in one of my LG V20 - I dropped it and sound became soft on and off. Again ordered the parts from AliExpress - followed instruction from Fixit (you can google it), and voila - like new again.
Overall, an amazing phone that I can foresee using till they really died on me.

Hi, I have greatly enjoyed this phablet. It is the last of the high-end phones with a removable battery...considering how this inevitably fails after heavy use, I value it a lot. It also allows you to carry pre-charged back-up batteries for weekend trips. Wish there was a newer model with that feature.

I'm using this phone for a year now. It's a great handset. But recently it's not taking any update for a while. Tried so many ways.

I've the doubt that if the incoming signal is stereo, the V20 can reproduce it through a single Bluetooth loudspeaker as a stereo.

Absolutely the best smart phone yet for me the Audiophile. Taeozi 10500 mAh battery from Amazon the icing on the cake. Still running Nougat. Poweramp V2. Oh yeah, and a set of Sound magic E80c ear buds to kick in that Quad DAC. Best (almost only) headphone jack still in the game. It does all that other stuff I need too. Glad to see it still being talked about.
