What's the resale value of this phone right now? Had G8x for 6-8 months and sold it very soon after LG's announcement about shutting down mobile business (Got 18k back then ..almost same as my purchase price). Would've had it for a bit longer but hardly used the second usage because of battery life & Slow charging speed (Even if you're on a BT call, phone charging speed gets significantly low while it should've been based on device temp)

I have LG G8xthinq US edition.
For volte enable i have tried *#546368#850# - Field Test - Universal
Enable (it was not allowing to open so make one folder in local storage
"enable_ue" retsart ) - create a new profile allow all 4 option volte
& wifi calling after restart on phone setting (##4636##*)
it shows enable volte but Mobile Radio Power is off. i can turn it on but after few sec it automatic goes off.
- i have tired reset network settings
- done factory reset also
nothing works
previously it was showing mobile network not it's not turning on Mobile radio power
on radio band if i select any option it says unsuccessful.
Any pointer how to keep mobile radio power on ?
Sounds risky but .. Search for .. flashing Indian rom .. on your device.. that might solve all above ..
Hi to best of my understanding, even if u enable the UE folder it does not guarantee that you would have VOLTE . VOLTE config files for the carrier JIO / AIRTEL must be there in the phone already else it will not support VOLTE.
Hence , even though u had enable UE it did not enable VOLTE as ur device did not have the VOLTE config files for AIRTEL / JIO .
Now I say because of ur mistakes u have been landed in a difficult situation with ur modem . DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING MORE ON UR DEVICE.
If u want to restore ur modem I would highly advice u to get a paid service from @ Unlock_LG on Telegram . He may charge anywhere between 10 to 30 USD and he is the best bet . I know the guy personally and except probably a few guys in China he is the most knowledgable and easily accessible . Also the guy is based out of Ukraine so ur supporting someone from the country. Also tell him that u had donated during the SM8150 firehose crowdfunding and see if he can discount u a bit on the service . You may also ask him if he could do a Cross Flash to India Version which may bring u VOLTE ( but CROSS FLASH is never easy so it may also break the Modem once again. TG user MAMA TAO has extensive knowledge on Cross Flashing )
For free solution , which can cause more harm than good u check the below Group

User VL48 from the group could be ur best bet , @ SFPGuido ( original founder of the UE folder trick ) , Mama Tao , audietron , Enforc are some of the people who could give u free advice but then it may or may not work out .
Actually it was showing volte when i tried *##4636##* but that option was no enable. 2nd i have tried BSNL sim before changing the setting it was working fine only issue with jio bcoz it need volte. even jio net was working fine though.
i have used jio calling app for few days to check and it was working but it need data & location all the time to connect the calls. And in india i found same model which have android 12 and it have volte option. so i guess i need to just rest the settigns which i have changed but it was changed on Field test mode so have to do it there only
Anyone facing issues with Fast charging not working?
Charging is really slow and only few times fast charging happens
Heard from one more guy recently from telegram LG group facing similar issues . His initials is PS . Hope you are not the same one .
Should be probably a battery issue as with age it deteriorate and is heating up as well due to which fast charging is being stopped by the ic or a problem with the charging port .
G8X is EOL now but Remote Unlock LG on Telegram is still developing some good stuff for LG devices more so for LG WING & V60 but some of the features should also work on LG G8X .
Anyone replaced the battery
yet .. if yes than which one ..?
One user on TG has bought it from from https://www.patelofficial.com/productdetails?i.... and was mentioning improved battery backup .
I do not know the buyer or the seller personally so take your own precautions if you are buying from the above link . Else ebay or Amazon.com would be safer bet but costlier considering forwarding agent would be required.
Are the LG service center not having the spares available?
Also I had the LG mumbai service technicians mobile number from few years back . Maybe he knows some genuine source from where you can get the battery . Sharing it via dm
