LG G8s

Hello,

I bought my second LG G8s and It has some problem with reception of the 5GHz wifi in home. My first LG G8s was working with my home 5GHz wifi without any issue and my old LG G6 still works without issues seeing pretty strong singnal but my new LG G8s see the 5GHz networks very badly. Even in installed network analyzer it almost does not see any networks in 5G channels.

Is it bad HW or is there anything you can advise me to try?


Thx,

Micha;

    Hello LG friends

    glad to find you here.

    I'm a loyal LG mobile user; once I started using them abt 10 years ago, I've never looked for another brand (except from BB for my work emails).

    So, I bought the LG G8s, it's a great phone, runs smoothly, haven't had any problems whatsoever up to now (over 2 months).

    3 things I don't like though, which I think I may have not found out how to have them - not sure if it's posible, but I would really love to have:

    (i) in the Menu of contacts and settings, it only seems that you can see it as a 'list' ... I absolutely loved the 'tabs' my previous LG G3 had... really the 'tabs' is not available in this phone?

    (ii) No LED notifications... is it really something this phone lacks?

    (iii) the 2nd SIM slot can be used either as a second sim slot OR as a memory card - I really hate that (the LG G3 could use both sim slots AND a memory card)... why they keep on doing this thing?

    I'm still so in love with my LG G3 dual sim (D858HK - had bought it from Singapore and a friend sent it over for me). I have had it since 2014 and NEVER-EVER run into any problems whatsoever... screen went bad though... bought another one, installed it, worked OK for a couple of months, and went bad too... then the second sim started having issues, etc... so I decided it was abt time to upgrade...

    I'm quite satisfied with the G8s, but these 3 points above (especially the first 2, coz I bought the 128Gb model, so space-wise I'm ok) annoy me...

    Is there a solution to the above 2 points? Maybe some software upgrade or something? I really like the 'tabs' view thing...

    Thank you

    Don't know what you mean by "outer box". All 3 LG phones were bought new from official shop. Carrier for mobile network are same (O2 and Vodafone in Czech Republic). I am talking here about 5Ghz WIFI for which I have the AP under my control.

    Kohoutek,

    Are the devices in any type of outer box? Who is your carrier?
