Can it be a stuck power button problem? Samsung Galaxy S3 also has bootloop problem caused by a stuck power button.

If that's the case, removing the power button can solve the issue. You can boot up the phone by USB connection and then download an app to simulate power button when it is on.

No, its caused by overheating issue that melt the soldered molds of the CPU on the motherboard. That's why a lot of people have to put it into the oven to fix temporarily and recover data.

PS: if anyone wants to know a little bit deeper, Google for "disabling Big Core Qualcomm" and "Qualcomm throttling and overheating"

No aptX HD?

I've been looking into it myself and can't seem to find an answer but this article

http://unwire.hk/2016/10/03/lg-v20-quad-dac/mobile-phone/

says "至於在 LG G5 首度搭載的 aptX HD 藍牙編碼，在 V20 自然繼續保留。" which translates into "As for the LG G5 for the first time carrying aptX HD Bluetooth encoding, in the V20 naturally continue to retain."

I can't read Chinese nor Korean so was lucky to google translate the correct article quote. Whether the source is true and reliable I don't know but it's nice to know that it's there if is.

Another Korean article says it does as well?
https://namu.wiki/w/LG%20V20

Think LG rep said it is possible as well, the quote under the last picture was "aptx hd and 24 bit playback is possible via Bluetooth"

Yes, but they didn't mention an external DAC, so it can only be assumed that it is using the one in the Snapdragon 821... I don't know if that is going to be anywhere near able to unseat the G5, V10, HTC10 or V20. So, I'm still waiting for the V20 to drop.

Yes, you are right. Damn, no SD card slot, either.

No SD, No DAC, No Wireless charging, can't even be near a room that has moisture in it (joking... but not water resistant)... that makes this a hard phone to recommend. I'm almost ready to say "screw it" and get a re-done Note 7 and just use my External DAC when I want great sound, and stock when I just put in crappy earbuds. Still looking at the AK XB10 as a possability.

Yes, you are right. Go ahead say those two words. Second word is 'it'.

It's not available for pre-order in the USA until 17 October.  In fact, B&H has now removed that date from their placeholder listing for the phone.

Well, I was still leaning towards the Note 7, but the audio on it was not good at all. The HTC 10 was definitely better. I think the Xperia Z3v is an underrated phone in regards to music. I like it better than the others, but it doesn't have the power to back it up.

I see that, it didn't sound as good though. Oh well, I ordered the Note anyway as it had the features that I like (minus the DAC). I have 14 days to evaluate it before I have to keep it. If I don't like it, I'll return it and reserve the V20.
