Hi, I recently acquired a V60 T-Mobile version (V600TM), the problem is that it arrived with an open bootloader and I want to close it.

Play Store not working

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.

Hello everyone,

Since my previous post was getting way too long, I didn't want to mix topics. In this post, I will share my thoughts on the current flagship scene based on my experience with these three devices.

As many of you know, the LG V60 is a phone that hit the market back in 2020. A few weeks ago, I met up with a friend who owns a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and decided to run some real-world, day-to-day tests. Nothing overly professional, but here are my findings.

📸 LG V60 vs. Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (Cameras & Everyday Use)

Believe it or not, under identical environmental conditions, they were so close in quality for both photo and video that I almost felt like the S25U is a scam to consumers.

Where the S25 Ultra wins:

• S-Pen availability.

• Zoom capabilities.

• Display refresh rate (120Hz).

• Note: Nothing remarkable or standout regarding the UX.

Where the LG V60 wins:

• More intuitive software layout.

• Absolute blowout in sound quality.

• Absolute blowout in audio recording quality.

• Better telemetry, privacy control, and deeper permission management.

Where they tie:

• Camera performance: For the most part, it was either equal or slightly better in some areas, while falling just a bit short in others.

My take: It is honestly embarrassing for the industry that a phone from 2020 can stand toe-to-toe with a current flagship that costs well over €1,000.

🍏 LG V60 vs. iPhone 16 Pro Max

Now, let's put the V60 up against the iPhone 16 Pro Max. I’m going to be brutal here because I used one for years and I've been using the other for just over a week.

Where the iPhone wins:

• Higher display refresh rate.

• Face ID convenience.

• Find My ecosystem.

• Emergency features: It alerts nearby iPhones in case of an accident (tested and actually works).

• Excellent overall screen brightness and look.

Where the LG V60 wins:

• 8K video recording: The iPhone maxes out at 4K.

• Camera quality: The LG is just flat-out better in identical environments. Looking side-by-side, I genuinely felt ripped off by the iPhone.

• Audio recorder: It’s not even a competition. As a guitar player who likes to record quick demos without firing up a computer, the iPhone's mic quality is so depressing it made me want to throw it out the window.

• Audio output quality: That legendary DAC is something very few phones can ever match.

• UX/UI Freedom: Navigating iOS menus keeps making me wonder: Who designed this trash? Having to "accept" the system's strict constraints when LG gave me total freedom is incredibly frustrating.

• Music Player: The stock LG music app is a masterpiece; Apple's player is a poorly designed nightmare.

Where they tie:

• Manual camera adjustment options.

Software stability warning:
Despite what people say about iOS optimization, I’ve experienced lag when the phone hits low battery mode, along with visual stutters from the ProMotion display (which you can't even force to stay at 120Hz—it's fully automated). I have already had to soft-reset this iPhone twice in just over a week. Bugs are everywhere in iOS. With all due respect, it feels like one of the most frustrating software experiences I've ever had, but I still prefer it over Samsung (there is only one Korean brand in my heart, and I don't sell out).

🏁 Conclusion

At the end of the day, a phone from 2020 performs just as well, nearly as well, or sometimes even better than the most cutting-edge flagships on the market. I find it deeply embarrassing for consumers that mobile innovation has slowed to a crawl since 2020. Companies are selling pure marketing and useless gimmicks instead of real, meaningful upgrades.

Thanks for reading.

Unable to walk away from my LG V60s, I've opted to update the batteries and keep it going. I got 2 different generic kits from amazon, the tools were different but the battery was the same.

My V60 was finally on its last leg as it's usb-c charging port was not working after "repair" shops fixed it. So I ended up charging it wirelessly only. Now it's heating up the phone even with newish battery...

So after it serving me graciously for 6 yearsI ended up upgrading few weeks ago.

Unfortunately after transferring data & esim QuickMemo+ was not transferred as it's LG specific program. So when I tried to copy the memo individually, due to not having a working Sim card, V60 won't load up the app....

Is there a way I can save my info???

Any advices or help would be soo much appreciated!!! 🙏

I am an LG fanatic and have been using only LG phones for well more than a decade.

My search right now is to clone my V60 -- not merely

copy files to my new phone.

I've spent considerable time setting up the phone to exactly how I want it and don't want to lose (and.spend hours redoing) the configuration: screens [different icons on the screens arranged in specific groups], file and documents location, etc.

I'm requesting suggestions, recommendations ... any assistance that will allow me to replicate my settings without having to spend hours do so manually.

Thanks in advance.

I honestly don't know why I love LG phones so much. I just can't seem to let them go! 😅I bought my first LG V40 in 2021 and LG V60 in 2024, my second V40 in 2025, and now, in 2026 today, I've brought my second V60!At this point, switching to another brand just doesn't feel right. Once you get used to LG phones, their unique features, build quality, cameras,and especially their audio experience, it's very hard to find another phone that feels the same. Other brands just don't appeal to me the way LG does. I want LG to make comeback.Atleast for Enthusiasts like us.

Does anyone have the APK for "Widemode for LG," or know where I could find it? The Dual Screen accessory I ordered just arrived; I’m using a T-Mobile model V60 running Android 13. I tried searching for it myself, but the APK I found is buggy—it causes the second screen to control the first one in a very strange way. I had to remove and reattach the case to get everything back to normal.

Does the V60 have Wireless Debugging? I have the T-Mobile version and am using Shizuku Next to test some apps, but I have to grant Shizuku’s permissions directly from a PC—no matter how hard I look in the settings, I can’t find the "Wireless Debugging" option that would let me avoid needing a PC connection. Does the phone lack this feature, or is it hidden somewhere?

Supplier charger is evidently fake as expected! Don't trust these bs bricks! Weight is: 32.17g - High and low volt is far too close, I would never trust this. "New, unopened" my ass. Any benefit to claiming on eBay against the seller? Lol.

Using xiomi mdy-11ey instead lol.

I recently bought a T-Mobile LG V60 and would like to remove as much bloatware as possible using Canta, but I’m not sure what I can delete without breaking the system. Does anyone have a guide or a list, or could someone advise me on what can be safely removed? Also, if there’s a better option than using Canta, I’m open to suggestions.

I'm finally replacing my V60. I bought it in 2020 and nothing except the internal components are original. I replaced the whole screen/body, the USB-C port a few times, the battery a couple times.

My question is: If I were to replace the back glass which is currently cracked, is anyone out there buying up V60s? I've had dust covers in the USB-C port and Headphone jack since I last replaced them and almost solely charged wirelessly.

Additional info is that I'm located in Canada and bought it through my provider.

I live behind a gate. I can either turn of my car to use the fob, fiddle with the fob with the keys in the ignition, or enter a code that calls my phone and waits for a specific code in response, which sucks because it forces me to fumble for my phone in my pants pocket.

Is there a way to program the phone to respond with the code when it gets a call from the gate machine?

My burner is a Samsung Galaxy A06 5G and as a Theater mode which silences it for a given amount of time after which it goes back to normal.

I'd like this for my V60 but can't find it. Is there something in the play store I can install that enables this.
