Last week my V10's headphone jack was malfunctioning. I could only hear from the right channel, with intermittent left channel sound.
Fortunately the fix was not too difficult. Got the part around $12 from eBay, used a philips #000 driver to take down a dozen screws, pulled out the bad jack, put in the new one, nailed in all the screws and yes it is done. Took me no more than 10 minutes.
Should I blame LG for the quality control, or should I praise it for a easy fix?

Praise the loooood

Just two days ago, my LG V10 suddenly froze with a sound loop. I pulled the battery, and it went into a permanent bootloop. A bit of searching, and it seems reports of similar cases started springing up in June. The only fix is extreme heat, or cold, which would allow one to temporarily backup. Anyway, I went into t-mobile to start the warranty process, and the v10 is on backorder for a week. Makes me think this is a pretty widespread issue. Anyone else run into the bootloop issue as well? It's disappointing to say the least, I was looking forward to the v20, but now not so anymore with these kinds of build issues. My v10 has been otterbox cased since new, I work in climate controlled environments, and have not dropped it. My example literally looks like it just came out the box, and it's a brick.

you have to be proud of LG because they give you great option to user replaceable battery and to access other parts to replace and I am happy for you that you are able to fix it for yourself and also within 10 minutes of quick fix.Great and thanks

Wow maybe it's the ThinkPad of cell phones?

I just managed to get high impedance mode on my v10. By accident. I've got a subaru legacy and it's got an amazing mcintosh stereo. I got an anycar unit last year so I could listen to Aux music. Recently it stated buzzing like crazy. Really annoying stuff. So after a lot of research I bought a ground loop isolator. Hooked it up and the buzz is completely gone. Fired up the v10 to test and I noticed the sound was different. Much louder, more bass and overall sounded much better. Checked the settings and HI mode was active. No buzz and better sound! Happy days.

IIRC, it's also showed up in the G4 model.

 

[bigx5murf]

I saw that too, some said even the G3 had the issue. My sister has a G5, we'll see.

Is it just me, or does it seem strange that LG is "improving" the DAC on the V20, but no news on if the amp section of the headphone output is improved.  Personally, I think good DACs do make a difference in sound quality, but I think the difference between good (LG V10 DAC) and slightly better (LG V20 DAC) is almost negligible.  However, improving the amp section of the headphone output could really make a huge difference when listening with high-fi and even mid-fi headphones.  Anyone have thoughts on whether this new quad-DAC will make any difference in sound quality at all?  Seems pretty gimmicky to me and huge red flag, but I could be wrong.

This actually happened to me after I got the device back from being repaired. I purchased the V10 3 Months ago and had an accident with it where the screen got cracked. I had it repaired and the device had the bootloop issue from there on. I managed to get it working after resetting the device for maybe the 5th or 6th time, but after about 1 or 2 weeks the same thing started again. The back of the device where the power button is gets very got, especially when trying to charge it. I will bring in the device for a warranty repair a second time and hope the issue will be fixed. If not, that will be the last time I ever touched an LG Smartphone, I'm just not willing to take the risk anymore, I'm not very patient when it comes to this, even if the device has fantastic audio quality.

Also ZY cable does not trigger the high impedance mode

Which cable are you referring to? Mine works well.

 

[gr8soundz]

No cable can trigger high power. But any cable or adapter (if connected before the headphones) should give aux power which is very close to high.
 
You still need 50+ ohm headphones or earphones (and no in-line remote) to get high power.
 
However, at least an in-line remote will still work in aux mode (not so on high) so it's sometimes the best option.
