I'm still undecided yet but I would like some opinions on whether it's a good swap or not.

I think the G6 is better. But it's up to you. What matters to you the most? Then pick the device that fits better.
On a pure monetary sense however, you'd be losing money in that trade. That might be important to you or not. You don't have to win on every trade as long as you're happy.
Evol on:
swap pls swap fast..
Evil off!
Similar decision for me, went for G6 and am very happy, love the design more than the S7, am very happy thus far.

Keep the LG G6
There is a chance to have a burned screen with the S7 Edge because of the AMOLED screen. That's one big reason why I hate AMOLED.
So stay with your G6 ?

If you care about unlocking bootloader or rooting yoir device then go and get s7 other than that keep your g6

T-Mobile is the only one that can currently get unlocked bootloader unless they dropped that support. They actually where the first to support it

Blame LG keyboard on the G Pro lol. A lot of people use there phones now days when away from computer to post here lol
Not sure why everyone wants the bootloader unlocked, I mean right now there is no reason to do so at all. And on top of that my last 3 phones this year have had locked bootloaders, but that didn't stop me from using international Roms, or Roms in general cause of Loki support or whatever its called lol
hyelton said:

I'm curious as well about Loki. I'm not sure if it relies on the snapdragon 600 chipset or if its a baseband thing. May be something to look into. I'm not familiar enough with it.
Myself- I would be more than happy if loki works on our devices. Please, LG, let it work!
edit:
~just did a quick search... Loki relies on the Qualcomm APQ8064T.. or snapdragon 600 per Dan himself. dang.
Edit 2:
The 'other' LG devices it works on dont all have the 600.. so again, its possible. Hrm...
Possible unless Qualcomm fixed the exploit on the 800s

I used to have Sprint and I should have stayed because even though development was slow for that particular phone at least there was development. How are we doing with unlocking the bootloader for the Note 3 or will we be doomed to ROMS that are stripped down versions of TouchWiz for the rest of our Note 3 lives?
Yes
I'm doing just fine without an unlocked bootloader. Would be nice to have it unlocked. There's plenty of development going on. A lot of people who bought a Dev edition note 3 ending up selling it including myself.

i was fine with tw roms.... tried asop roms didnt float my boat.... i honestly like a few of the tw features.
all i know is i wasnt using the dev to its potential, so i just sold it.
Ok V20 came with 7.0, but then when 7.1.1. will arrive OTA? Thanks.
No idea, but we may not even get it.
Think of what happened with Lollipop 5.1.1... a lot of phones skipped it, and jumped directly to 6.
I think I remember this happening with LG too in the past, with the G4 precisely.

I'm also wondering just like you because I for some reason thought it was android 7.1. Looked in about phone to see 7.0
Probably 8 months after the V30 launches with it.

Assuming the next version of Android is 8.0
It could very well be 7.4,5,6 etc.
Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk
We have 7.1.1 available for us if you are rooted. AOSP provides the latest 7.1.1 but we lose the second screen.
That's the only reason I stay on 7.0 stock ROMs right now.

This is one of the first phones I've owned that I cannot root, and it kills me! I knew what I was getting into, but I hoped... It was foolish of me. Thing is, I've either become too fussy with what I want from a phone, spec-wise, or the market is saturated with devices that manufacturers WANT us to buy / THINK they know what we want. Depends on your point of view I guess.

I get you. However, I have no reason to root because the phone is perfect to me. It's fast, it doesn't have some ****ty ass skin on it and honestly I just don't see the need to root at this point. I won't buy a Samsung because they suck and are a bad representation of Android.

There's a couple small things that annoy me about the V20, but I think it's variant specific to my model (H990DS). I agree with you on the Samsung comments!

I don't understand... I have the H910 and I don't have any issues (outside of the obvious that everyone suffers from) with rooting. I have full root and utilize Dual Boot Patcher with no problems.

i finally rooted my t-mobile v20 and took a bit. (not as easy as my Nexus 6p)... but twice already idk how it got stuck in twrp bootloop. I had to completely go back to stock. but cant' complain about stock rom. It's pretty smooth still.
PS: I always thought T-mobile and At&t variants were pretty easy to root. didn't realized at&t is near impossible..
Sprint used to be really easy to root. However since around the S6 the process has been a pain.

Yeah, I guess I'm not familiar with people having issues unlocking the bootloader on refubs because they tend to be Verizon models.
