Some of these bloatwares can be disabled or uninstalled easily from the settings and app management section, but for some of them, the "disable" and "uninstall" buttons are not accessible, so you should use the ADB tools in your PC to forcefully remove them from your phone and free up some RAM, improve its performance and optimize the battery usage.

If you wanna know how the ADB works, google "oem bloatware without root" and check out the xda-developers guide. It's very easy to setup and use.

Also you can google "LG V50 debloat" or "LG G8 debloat" or "LG V40 debloat" or "LG G7 debloat" so you know what you should remove and what you should keep. Since all of the recent LGs have almost the same bloatware, I think every LG bloatware list should work on the V50.

    Hello everyone. I just bought this phone and I love it so much but it lags a little bit sometimes. Like just for a microsecond. You might not even notice if you dont keenly observe. Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks .
    I have tried to delete app I'm jot using and clear cache.

      NarDog, 21 Jan 2021Is it still a good deal for used one?I would recommend looking at Swappa, there are fantastic deals for the used LGs, including the V50 which is around $200-$250 and honestly it's the best deal in this price segment.

        NarDog, 21 Jan 2021Is it still a good deal for used one?Sure, it can go as low as 200 dollars used, way better than any mid range smartphones of that price. The only thing that's lagging 2 years after its release is the camera in auto mode.

              Seems like V50 got the poop stick by that carrier and since they release their own carrier version software to nerf the phone capabilities, unless you can unlock it to other carriers, your performance will drop steadily or already does because the article is from may 2020.
              Keep in mind the issues you are experiencing are only because the carrier changed things on their end not that the phone is being left behind.

                have sprint version, using on tmobile. more and more the phone isn't ringing and sendng ppl to voicemail. maybe its the frequency change, tmobile has been warning me about it. i guess time for an upgrade

                  Anonymous, 06 Jan 2021Maybe you got a faulty phone coz never heard of those issues...No, it's fine, I think, it is from Sprint, new, 98% battery life, but those small problems go unnoticed by the average user and it could be software issues, or not.

Audio doesn't stop on other phones when shoot photos, obviously on silent or vibration mode, and it's worse using Bluetooth, weird sounds with multitasking, you can even totally block the signal with the palm of your hand!, check it by yourself.

                      yes I do have it on an sd card (bought a 1tb as card partly for this purpose as the lbf files are big and I was doing backups every day almost - you never know what can happen)
                      Hope it is not corrupted as you said
                      Have not got this phone yet but will try to install backup as soon as I do

                      Thanks again for your help

If so you can put the SD card on the new phone and see if it can be restored. The size on the backup alone will give you an idea of what might be restored. Also check your google drive, older phones used to backup directly to google drive unless prevented to do so.

                              I have Es explorer that last version available because its discontinued, no issues. I havnt had a crash on LG ever, and i used it since v10- Stylus 3 - v30+ now v50, not a single crash.
                              All apps work, i have old discontinued apps that i moved using LG switch between phones and they all still work.
                              Dont post lies about LG.

                                LG has not improved anything in the last years. It has the performance of a Snapdragon 835, general speed and gaming. When you take a picture while playing music, it stops for a second, no matter music player or internal/external storage. It crashes a lot, notifications on status bar freezes, sudden black screen, apps not working, like nova launcher, es file explorer, pdf viewer. If you charge the phone while using it, takes

                                  Is anyone using the Verizon version of this phone, on Total Wireless? The G7 and G8 both have WiFi Calling while on Total Wireless, and was wondering about this one

                                    Does the phone have a flat screen?

                                      Anonymous, 04 Jan 2021Thank you.i had the LG g8x and it never got hot ..Yea, that one also has 2k res to avoid getting hot, at 2340x1080 its very unlikely it will get hot the V50 can have 3440 x 1440 at high res, its why on heavy usage the screen will feel warm, wont get in the way of performance tho. Like some other phones that slow down or cut calls to cool off. Can always back down to 2340 if you feel like it or even 1560, but that will defeat the purpose of LG screen quality.
                                      Using high res on the V50 is about choice, for me to read its great, also for browsing on the web, writing stuff etc.
