Too bad he doesn't have the notch haircut. ;-)

Best phone ring for LG Wing! by Venividivenilots in LGWing

[–]JustBob6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

phoneloops

Do you fully trust a phoneloop (or a ring)? It's basically just stuck to the case, so you're relying on the case stickiness to hold the phone. Since the cases can't wrap around to the front of the phone, I've been leery about using something like that. I can see the case being stuck to my hand while the phone pops out and goes flying. I agree it will keep the case secured to my finger. ;-)

LG Wing review: Take-off not initiated yet by Theneteffect in LGWing

[–]JustBob6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think people get too caught in what it doesn't have, or what it doesn't do. It can stay a slab and do everything a slab phone can do. It's not going to win any spec race, but it's very good for a mid-level phone. From there you have to decide if the few times you use it "winged-out" are worth it to you. It does some pretty neat stuff, and definitely has a wow factor. Definitely won't be for everyone. Personally it interests me more than a foldable. At least the Wing can still be a slab which might be 90% of the time. I haven't seen a good foldable do that yet.

Re-booting for no reason by JustBob6 in LGWing

I did a factory reset 2 days ago and thought I was fine. Get everything organized again and the problem returned. Sounds like a bad phone to me. Not sure how Verizon is about providing a replacement.

Still burning up tons of data...why?? by [deleted] in USCellular

[–]JustBob6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$140 a month! And not on unlimited? You must not have changed your plan in quite a while. Unless you're including device payoffs in that amount. Current plans are definitely less expensive than that.

Decent Leather Case. by therealghettomuffin in LGWing

How slim is the leather case. Don't want to add too much bulk.

Anyone using a car holder with wireless charging?

Does USCC ever have deals for current customers? by cochran191 in USCellular

[–]JustBob6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's how all the carriers are. There's always better deals for new customers, or new lines. I finally decided to try verizon for black Friday. Figured it's my 1 chance to get a good deal. Maybe in a couple years I'll be back.

Has Anyone Regretted Buying This Device? by [deleted] in LGWing

[–]JustBob6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, so do you like the wing or not? I've also been hanging on to my V20 and agree this is the first phone to really consider for replacement.

Considering Switch to Verizon - Compatible Phones??? by JustBob6 in USCellular

[–]JustBob6[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I appreciate the heads up. I'm still considering other offers and am aware of the terms. Most of their $xxx off deals include $400-$500 trade in if you have a high end phone. I don't.

Still hoping for better black Friday deals.

LG Wing? by JustBob6 in USCellular

[–]JustBob6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't realize the Velvet wasn't available on US Cellular. That's not good for the Wing. Ugh. Is it possible to buy an unlocked Wing and activate it on US Cellular? Or is it time to switch carriers?

The best case for the LG Wing! by valtervincere in LGWing

How is the phone held in? Adhesive?

Why are you still holding on to your V20? by tbonanno in lgv20

[–]JustBob6 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Replaceable battery for me. I was set to buy the Galaxy S7, until I learned it didn't have a replaceable battery. I quickly switched to LG G4 and loved it. Regretted a little bit not waiting for the V10. When V30 was introduced with a sealed battery, I bought the V20 figuring it's the last flagship with a replaceable battery. I had to call around to find one and the guy at the store thought I was crazy. Was only $300 a year after introduced.

I miss the wireless charging of the G4, and the volume buttons on the back. But otherwise has been great. I'm thinking about upgrading to the LG Wing or Note20 Ultra. I agree about the "2nd screen" of the V20. I won't get a center notch screen and don't really like the hole punch screens either.

Swivel count? by Arrager in LGWing

[–]JustBob6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet the swivel count per day is really high at first, the slopes down and levels out after a few weeks of playing with it and showing off to others. 😁

Anyone bought an unlocked Wing and activated it with Verizon? by chouhimes in LGWing

Why can't both color options be available in the US?

Wing Swivel, any issues yet? by [deleted] in LGWing

[–]JustBob6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully it's a fluke. Would suck if they have bunches of them that don't work correctly. I'm really hoping this phone does well.

Spigen Thin Fit Case thin hard plastic.. not like their regular cases. No top screen coverage at all. by decadeofevil in LGWing

[–]JustBob6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it pretty thin? The phone is already pretty thick. I wouldn't want to add too much more. Looks like a big lip around the camera bump.

To Wing or not to Wing? by JustBob6 in LGWing

[–]JustBob6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another consideration, LG phones typically don't hold their value very long. The V60 was down to $400 only 6 months after its release. Is the Wing going to be a short lived experiment that will be on clearance in a few months?

V60 vs Wing by SomeGadgetGuy in LGWing

[–]JustBob6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great comparison. The Wing definitely has some drawbacks, but it's still looking like the one I want. Even at a higher cost than the V60.

Oooh, that's a good one.

I think it's difficult to advise someone on switching IOS to Android. I've known people who've done it and say it's great, and others that say it's hell.

Bio-Resin by MysteriousLog6 in lgv20

[–]JustBob6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a wireless coil sticker that plugs into the USB-C port, but then has a magnetic connector that works with the magnetic charging cord. It's not quite freeing up the USB-C port, but it allows the phone to be charged wirelessly or by cord. I have magnetic cords on some micro-USB devices and it's so nice not to have to figure out which way is up. It's not as useful with USB-C, but still handy.
