Yesterday, May 27 I received in one of my two V20 SW update referred to the phone usage. First update since Sept., 18. And the habitual used phone has a January update.
Despite this kind of updates service (?) the two units are irreplaceable tools to audio montages in certain videos that I make.

That's great. Unfortunately, while your -SEA-xx variant of the V20 already has Oreo and got a recent security patch update, many variants like my -ESA-xx V20 is stuck with Nougat and January 2018 security patch. LG really sucks with updates. The worst phone manufacturer when it comes to updates. Because of this horrible update track record, I don't see it ever gaining improvement in sales even if Huawei phones were to permanently lose Google's Android software support.

Rayhan, 25 May 2019Is there any bootloop issue for this phone? Pls help...I'm ... moreI have two V20's and none have a bootloop issue. However, there are documented cases of LG phones that bootloop due to bad battery and I can confirm this to be true based on my own experience.
This happens when the bad battery cannot cope up with the peak power requirements during the phone's peak demands. The bad battery shuts down the phone even when it is FAR from being low battery (90% full) while playing processor intensive games or while using wifi or mobile data or playing videos, sharing files, etc. After the sudden shutdown, the high battery demand is gone and the phone automatically restarts. However, as soon as it restarts, the bad battery gets stressed again (peak battery demand) and so again shuts down the phone. Once shutdown, phone again automatically restarts and so you have a bootloop condition.
I have confirmed this to be the case when I swapped the bad battery with a good one. (I have two V20's and swapped their batteries). After the swap, it was the other V20 that was now suffering from bootloop while the other one no longer had bootloop. Swapped the batteries again, and the bootloop was back to the first V20 as it now had the bad battery. Therefore, the only way out of this bootloop from my experience is to throw away the bad battery and replace it with a good one. I did try to plug in the phone (with the bad battery) to the charger as a workaround but then, you can't be plugged forever just to assist the bad battery during peak power demands. Besides, it is a safety risk and may burn or explode or worse, damage the phone. I therefore had to dispose off the bad battery and the problem is solved.
Just a caution though. There are lots of fake batteries around that look like original OEM LG V20 battery but are not. Be sure to buy only really genuine ones or buy a good quality third party regular capacity or extended capacity battery designed for the V20. That's it and I hope it helps other phone users (not only LG phone brands) who are experiencing bootloop.
I'm sticking with my two V20's and don't see the need to upgrade to new phones so it's likely I'll still have them for another 3 years and they'll likely still be working perfectly like they are now, thanks to future proof features (removable battery, 1TB micro sd expansion with dedicated micronsd card slot + dual sim, headphone jack, ir blaster, FM radio, high quality audio, photo/video, drop resistance, etc.) Haven't found a worthy successor to my V20's that offer the same feature set. I'm going to truly miss them if they die or become disfunctional.

The easiest way to storage video and photos to seeing on TV screen is a double size connector USB - C, 3.1 sort of pendrive with 64 Gb., can be enough for ordinary users.
