Known issues reported by early V10 owners. Look here first, if you have a problem.
Well, I am going to collect the issues reported by the very first owners of the LG V10 in this sticky post, as u/ep3eddie suggested. Feel free to contribute, ask for changes or more details etc.
I'll mark issues as confirmed, when I find a minimum of three different users reporting that.
2nd screen bleeding confirmed
- Screen bleeding of the second screen: u/dotexec and others report annoying light bleeding from the top left of the 2nd screen
fingerprint scanner not working properly with certain cases confirmed
- Several users report that the fingerprint scanner does not work with certain cases. Various theories exist, why this is. Some users modify their cases with wires, silver tape (1), silver tape (2), copper tape, tin foil or simply cut holes into the side of their cases. Some users report that the fingerprint has to be recorded again with the case on or or in a specific way.
1440p videos on the Youtube app freeze after a while confirmed
- u/rivalOne [1] and u/teoatl [2], [[3]] (https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv10/comments/3relb8/update_on_youtube_2k_videos/) report that (some?) 2k videos (1440p) freeze after a while, while still playing sound. Some users confirmed that, but many don't seem to experience this with the same videos.
disconnects randomly from wifi unconfirmed
- u/meltmeltmelty [1] and others report that the v10 is randomly disconnecting from wifi. According to u/meltmeltmelty it could be a problem on routers with 2.4Gzh and 5Ghz bands.
'OK Google command won't work confirmed
- u/pashasurf [1] and u/phantom_stain reports that the voice command 'OK Google' won't work for Google now. u/momomok reports that 'the latest Google app beta seems to have fixed this issue'.

automatically turns on wifi unconfirmed
- u/skyline408 [1] reports that his T-Mobile V10 turns wifi back on, after he switched it off. u/dadalad confirms that in a comment to that post.
Screen cracks when dropping your V10 on a hard floor confirmed
- Surprise! Several users managed to crack their screens in the first week. Most commenting redditors are not that surprised, but some suspect the phone could not be as durable as it was promoted (Surprise!). Fortunately, the V10 is easy to tear down [video 1], [video 2] and replacement screen/touchscreen combos are already available on ebay and other sources, starting from $90.
This sticky post is work in progress and if you think that a certain issue should be in the list, then leave a comment. If you also add links to sources or other posts with the same problem, it will speed up things and me, as a lazy guy, will consider to include em..
Edit: Removed the Kindle App freeze, but added the problem with the 'OK Google' voice command.
