Rimac , 22 Sep 2019Tell us the result of your maneuver.
We will be grateful. Downloading an update not meant for your phone variant can brick your phone.
If someone here who has an -ESA-XX H990DS V20 variant can confirm successfully updating their V20 from Nougat to Oreo using the official ROM for other H990DS variants, (Ex. using Oreo ROM from. AME-XX variant), then let me know if itbreally doesn't brick an unrooted, bootloader locked phone.

In favour of the IPS/LCD display I feel that the true GCam colour shining better I think than in comparison with AMOLED'S, P-OLED's or anyone of these kind of same base technology.

h7kn, 21 Sep 2019LG is about to launch android 9.0 for V20 in south korea. i... moreI've moved on from LG's FAKE promises. One of my V20's is still on Nougat, the original Android version it was launched with in 2016. It's still on Nougat even UNTIL now. My second V20 got updated to Oreo almost a YEAR ago. Again, I don't believe my V20 on Oreo will get updated to Pie. Will hold on to my two V20's even without software updates until they die. They're really the LAST of the flagships that's got almost EVERYTHING: removable battery with third party extended battery options, headphone jack, FM radio, a learning/programmable master remote control (IR blaster), dual SIM with dedicated micro sd slot for up to 1 TB (soon 2TB) expansion, selectable LTE band and selectable network mode (LTE only), option for hidden SSID during hotspot sharing, drop resistance, 4K wired video out support that matches TV displays' aspect ratio, OTG support with support for digital TV dongles (to transform your phone into a tv, no internet/data needed; currently not possible with USB 3.1) and OTG support for external drives/thumb drives/card readers, USB hubs etc., 16:9 aspect ratio screen for larger viewable photo area, long lasting, sharp and crisp IPS display that doesn't give me BLACK BARS or display CROPPING during wireless screen mirroring to a smart TV, IPS display that doesn't have nasty color shifts (during screen tilting) like in Amoled/P-oled displays, doesn't have screen flickering andvpermanent screen burn, and doesn't have fuzzier/less sharp display like in AMOLED/P-oled displays but is still sufficiently colorful and saturated like amoled displays (minus the deep blacks), superb audio, photo and video recording capabilities, option for always on second screen for always on notifications with minimal battery drain, and very easy repairability.
In short, the V20 as I said more than 2 years ago, is bound to last for a long, long time. I expect it to last at least another 3 years more (6 years since it first launched).
It's really a precious gem so many people ignored or failed to realize. Its price has since dropped to below $300, yet few are willing to buy it despite the rock bottom price, in favor of the newer, more expensive, all screen, elongated (18:9, 19.5:9) 'modern' upper midrange to flagship phones that have nothing to offer other than an overkill resolution megapixel camera, a hyped up but largely useless and mediocre telephoto, and worse, GUARANTEED obsolescence and replacement in a YEAR or two due to limited repairability and limited upgrade options and features (no dual SIM with dedicated micro sd slot, no IR blaster, FM radio, headphone jack, etc.).
Enjoy your LG V20's while they last. They are the last of the truly consumer oriented, multifunctional, versatile, and REALLY SMART, smartphones that were NOT DESIGNED with rapid obsolescence/planned obsolescence in mind (not like the newer 'flavor of the month/model of the year' midrange and flagship smartphones nowadays).

I use since almost two years and half with the V20 the HK 'Onyx Studio' I, daily via Bluetooth without problems. Today doesn't worked at first attempt, trying with another and the same, repeating again with the first loudspeaker and . . . Yes. Can the Bluetooth signal be erratic like the WiFi ?

Anonymous, 16 Sep 2019Can the LG v20 work OTG Yes, the V20 is OTG capable. It supports file read, write and transfers from thumb drives, portable external drives and card readers. Also supports USB hubs to allow wired mouse, wired keyboard, etc. Just be sure to buy/use the correct USB C OTG adapter as substandard/low quality ones don't work. Also, micro USB based OTG adapters will not work with USB C to micro USB adapter. You also need to use the correct app to read the contents of the connected OTG device. I personally use 'USB Media Explorer' app by Homesoft, LLC as it also supports NTFS file systems in addition to FAT32 or exFAT. The V20 also supports OTG based digital TV dongles to watch over-the-air digital TV broadcasts. Just be sure to buy the correct digital TV OTG dongle that is compatible with your country's broadcast signal (Ex. DVB-T, ISDB-T, etc.)
