If anyone had bought new LG mobile phones, pls take note.

 

I dont know if it is just my family or is LG phones' motherboard issue. My family have 4 LG phones, my G4 and 3 V10 for my children, the motherboard of my G4 gave up its will to live after 10 months with me. I took it back to LG service centre and a new one was replaced. 

 

Last month, after CNY, with 11 months of usage, one V10 gave up, took it back and motherboard replaced. This morning a 2nd V10 is down, totally cannot boot up and I suspect is motherboard again. This one is one week left before warranty expire. 

 

I just told the 3rd V10 to stand by and back up everything, prepare for the last one to join the dead club, only different is this last one may be out of warranty. 

 

75% down rate within a year for LG, while we have no problem with iphones and Samsung phones, could it be our handling of the phone?

 

Anyway, I just wanted to highlight to anyone holding a new LG phone,  back up your stuffs, the phone may just shut down permanently without warning. 

 

And now I have to sign out and drive to the LG service centre again.  [mad]

Don't scare me leh... My V10 is just out of warranty, so far no issues. My older G Pro 2 has been in use for 3 years, still going strong. Both are being used by parents after I upgraded my phone.

I got 3 LGs, Optimus G Pro, Optimus G Pro 2, G4 and now I'm getting V20.

So far only G Pro 2 had wifi problem. I didn't replace the mb coz too expensive, just live without the wifi.

The rest still working fine.

He ( @tianmo ) served all porn movies altogether with his V10 and each lasting 4 hrs straights. Sure the motherboard goes burst due to overwork ...   :scared:

Tianmo, this is the infamous bootloop problem that plagues many LG phones, go google it, it is much discussed.  Samsung has the explosion problem, LG doesn't want to lose out on the limelight also.  Lol.  Seems like you are a fan of LG phones, getting the G6 ?

LG famous for this bootloop problem. Has been around for quite a long time already. Hoping my V20 won't die so soon. Waiting for S8/N8 to come out before switching back to Samsung.

And so, they need me to leave the phone there for 1-3 days, likely hardware issue and chances of changing a new motherboard is almost certain. WTF.  <_<
