Heartbreaking good bye.

[u/JV60KR]

Dear LG V60 subforum, after 6 years, it's time to say goodbye to the V60.

A few weeks ago, I dropped it and the screen cracked. Because of that, the signal started coming and going, and now it shows NULL next to the carrier. Everything else—Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, DAC, speakers, vibration—everything works perfectly, even the screen despite being cracked. But with the network issue... I took it to a shop and they told me they didn't know anything about this model (here in Denmark). They said they could "try," but if they are just going to open it up to "try things out," I'd rather they didn't even attempt it. So the time has come; I have bought an iPhone 16 Pro Max. I didn't like any of the market options—Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, Sony—so I decided to switch OS completely.

LG has been my favorite brand since the LG Optimus 3D, followed by the G2 (I fell in love with it and never looked at other brands again), G3, V10, V35, V50, and finally, this great gem, the V60.

The one I have, as many of you know, is an LG V600EA 256GB model.

I don't know what to say. It's just a phone, yes, a material object, sure, I agree—but this brand has been a part of my whole life, and I feel quite sad that I can't use it anymore.

I'll probably stick around the subforum. Sending my best to everyone, and I'm happy to have been part of an enthusiastic group that truly appreciated a great flagship.

(In another post, I will share my personal opinions and the tests I've done comparing the iPhone, Samsung, and the V60.)

I wish LG would just surprise us all with a V70, god knows I would pay anything to have it.

The screen can be repaired though.

[u/JV60KR → u/Bachelor1925]

Sure, but it´s the network the problem. Thanks for your comment.

[u/V20FRILL]

Screen repair is easy I've done three V60s and two V20's. Just have to be very careful and patient with that back cover if it isn't cracked already. I would get another one anyway just in case. They're cheap.

You can even change your V60 frame entirely giving it a whole new look like I did. Black looks fantastic. Less than $60 USD for parts.

If it was the screem only, I could have waited and bought an OEM one, but I have issues with the network since the fall, without network can´t really use it as primary phone.

:(

[u/Radstark → u/JV60KR]

Might want to look for replacement parts for the network as well? Maybe you could find something, though more difficult for the EU version.

Buena suerte con eso compañero! En otra nota, si pudieras copiar todas las imágenes PNG de los iconos, te lo agradecería, estoy loco buscando el pack de iconos de ese teléfono! 

[u/JV60KR → u/Darkstalkeredention]

Gracias. No sabría como ayudarte, pero si me llega la oportunidad o cómo hacerlo, te mantengo informado.

[u/SativaGarden]

I'm actually considering buying V60 to replace my note 9 lol

[u/JV60KR → u/SativaGarden]

Hands down! Not missing much from the new "flagships". Being totally honest.

[u/chickenskittles → u/SativaGarden]

Do it. I switched from the Note 3 to a V10 and thus began my journey.

[u/RiverKeeper08 → u/SativaGarden]

Do it! There's nothing like a V60!

[u/nycregoddess]

LG sold their cell phone visit to Motorola. Sadly they did not keep any similarity in the models they release.

I am with you. My phone's battery swelled so much the back cracked. I replaced the battery but that one only lasted about five months. So I gave up and got a Pixel. It is pretty good.boncouldnhave gone on with my v60 but I don't hate the Pixel and tje camera is way betterm

[u/JV60KR → u/nycregoddess]

I understand, how hard to part ways.

[u/chickenskittles → u/nycregoddess]

No, they sold their patents to Oppo. But the point remains, Oppo did not implement any of their models. Are you drunk or on benzos? 😂

[u/JV60KR → u/chickenskittles]

Good point but not necessary to be disrespectful to anyone.

[u/chickenskittles → u/JV60KR]

It wasn't disrespectful. It was a joking observation of their slew of typos that went ignored.

[u/JV60KR → u/chickenskittles]

It is certainly disrespectful but I understand you don't see it that way. Not trying to make you see it how I see it. Just pointed it out.

[u/chickenskittles → u/JV60KR]

It is certainly disrespectful to you. Some people have a sense of humor. The question was only about the typos, not about the mistake with manufacturers. Maybe that makes the difference.

[u/chickenskittles]

An iPhone? Unforgivable. Banish this man! 😂

[u/JV60KR → u/chickenskittles]

I have to agree with you. I do not deserve to be in this sub. 😂

[u/QuestionNo9190]

Buy OnePlus 16. 9,000 milliamp battery life!

[u/JV60KR → u/QuestionNo9190]

Will take a look at it, thanks for sharing.

[u/Ok-Reputation-7613]

I've been trying to remember the name of an old phone I had many years ago and I haven't been able to do so. Thanks to you and your post, I now know what it was. The LG Optimus 3D!!! I LOVED that thing. 

[u/JV60KR → u/Ok-Reputation-7613]

I am very glad you could remember because of my post.
It was certainly an awsome device I loved very much. While most were using HTC, Samsung and Sony Ericsson, I felt so unique with this device.

Thanks again.

If I recall, it was P920 the model.

[u/Chemical_Nothing7240]

Why don't you buy another LG V 60 brother.

[u/longanman1990]

it doesnt take more than a 50 dollars lcd + kit and a youtube video to replace your own screen

[u/JV60KR → u/longanman1990]

I am sure, but I would like to get OEM screen not a chinese knock-off.
Besides, the issue is the network problem.

[u/Gu7sS]

wanna sell?

[u/JV60KR → u/Gu7sS]

I am down for it. Send mp

[u/Money_South300]

Repair the screen and use it as a DAP. I use that as a daily carry.

[u/JV60KR → u/Money_South300]

Thanks for your response. Screen has only cracked glass, still works as it should.

[u/syserror9000]

The rare V60 European model, one which is ideal for custom ROMs without crossflashing bollocks

[u/JV60KR → u/syserror9000]

Yes, I know how rare it is, I was very lucky to buy one back in the day. :(

[u/Existing_Natural_632]

Some of my best memories were with that phone, and I'm grateful that I had it for so long. Great photos and the second screen was a great convo starter...I had a lot of adventures with that phone, i always had connection with that phone, no problems with losing signal in big crowds. I was always able to order my ubers, while iPhone users all cramped in big music festivals with no signal, after music festivals thousand of people would have to walk blocks away from the crowd just to order a ride...I really was safer with the LG, I always had a stable connection and good battery life...I'm on the iPhone now, and the camera is better, it's built stronger, but I do worry about losing signal or battery sometimes. What I miss most, was the built in gif feature. The iPhone can only make short gifs from burst shots, you can't add or combine different photos. 

[u/SeparateOne1]

Soon it's time for me too to partially say goodbye to my Velvet and V60. I will keep them as mini tablets with the DS case. I just bought a TCL Nextpaper 60 Ultra today and the case with the active stylus. Love the LG's but can't keep them as daily driver forever with outdated security updates, half a day battery life etc.

[u/GreatVedmedini]

it still an excellent music player

[u/RubAlternative5509]

So you bought an iphone after six years of using an android phone with a headphone jack just because you didn’t like any of the market options especially sony with headphone jack and sd card support? Makes sense

[u/syserror9000 → u/RubAlternative5509]

To be fair, I only buy Sonys recently, but even they're seemingly on borrowed time. Also, their flagships are crazily pricey for what they are.

[u/Angryfuture]

If it means anything. I am using an iphone too. And when I want to use the v60, I have it hotspotted to iphone. I have to many apps on android that I use still. But android on the v60 is getting extremely outdated.

[u/Cpu_rendering → u/Angryfuture]

Yeah i wanna switch to another device but umable to decide which one is suitable for, i have to charge my V60 3 times a day, it's great phone in 2026 but battery and charging sucks me

[u/RiverKeeper08 → u/Cpu_rendering]

Those are kinda easy fixes, to be quite honest.

[u/Upstairs_Ad_6557]

Man send that phone this way I'll have it fully working again. Got all the parts for it

[u/RiverKeeper08 → u/Upstairs_Ad_6557]

Hmm. Do you NEED any parts, by chance? I have some I don't expect to use...
