I like the G5 but im a little upset because there is still no android 7 update in the baltic region. I have searched from google and from the update time line its not coming to the north europe. I will be getting the LG G6 sometime next year so i think my G5 have served me well. But i still want the newest android and i am not getting the perfect expirence with the G5. I hope the G6 will be my all time favorite LG that i have owned. If someone is planning on buying the G5 i reccomend to just wait for the G7 or buy the G6 because im not super happy about the G5.

D.R, 22 Oct 2017Hi, I am considering the G5. When I went to koodo today the guy told me they won't sell them b... moreI have G5 already 1year, with first batery I had problems after maybe 5months, but it may be because I am hardcore user - charging phone at last once per day, also in winter was holding phone in bag outside pocket so it a bit gets cold. So, about problems. It started to make something similar to boot loops when battery was about 30%, after I charged it to 100% again it worked fine till about 15-30%, but this boot loop problem was periodic, it appear each day several times and then stopt for one week, then again started. Then I ordered 2 more bateries and since I use them already for about 4 months, everything is fine, except one battery which I probably used more, when it dry out to 10-15% and if wifi is on, screen is on 100% and I am gaming, then it could just turn off imediatly at 15% without warning.

AnonD-708764, 17 Oct 2017And about GPS. Is it working fine? By default, the G5 is prone to GPS failure, but it's an easy fix, i solve it by putting a bare cable between the GPS antenna and the contact on the phone chasis, that was a month ago i did it and the GPS is still working great.

Really great phone overall. If you have the GPS issue it is an easy fix if you're handy, takes 10 minutes, a plastic card and a screwdriver. Otherwise take it to your local phone shop, this is a very easy phone to repair, all parts are modular and easily replaceable (and cheap). Just as good as an S7 for half the money and you can fix it yourself.

Bought a second one but is the RS988 variant. Still my favorite smartphone of all-time. I lost FM radio though but I couldn't care less since my V20 has it.
This Lucky Goldstar phone could also be lucky for me. I was able to get $200+ delivery DoorDash orders on back-to-back Saturdays which made me earn about $60+ in less than an 1 hr of work.
Keeping it on Marshmallow 6.0.1 for good. Oreo isn't as bad as iOS11, but it's no big deal either. Once people start updating to Oreo, I can already hear the outcry for it that it ruined their battery life or whatever.
LG G5 has 1295 fans. Let's cross 1.3K. As underrated as the PS Vita.

I try to think about phones I might want like the iPhone X or V30. And I just can't find any because I don't like all-glass rears and whatever feature they eliminated.
I'm close to my personal smartphone nirvana as is and should be fine for the rest of the decade. Most of what I read here is the greed and lust inside of me.
Just be content with what you have and use your phone for as long until it dies. But I figure ADHD people want that new, honeymoon phase feeling again every 1-3 years, so they will continue to purchase new phones they don't really need just for that temporary feeling to show off and look good.
Phones have become shoes or new purses. Fashion. Greed. Catered to hipsters where design matters most. Planned obsolescence like sealed battery and no expandable storage. Apple ruined the industry. Bad Apple is cancerous.

for your software update(Marshmallow to Nougat), download and install LG Bridge to your pc/laptop then connect your phone. A software update should let your phone be upgraded to Nougat.
