Is there any difference between the DACs in LG G8 and G7? - LG G8 Questions & Answers

Is there any difference between the DACs in LG G8 and G7?

Yes as one is housed in a G7 and the other in a G8

Hello, if it's different, apparently. LG confirmed that an improvement in the 3.5 mm output was achieved in the G8 and V50.

The only thing they say is that the people of LG told them that they improved the Quad DAC with respect to the V40

The difference is that now QuadDAC is used to maximize DTS:X to produce full range stereo surround sound
Also the speaker on v50 is more powerful than v40, 1.3watt boombox + 0.7watt RAS (Receiver Aided Speaker). While g8 has 2.1 channel CSO (dual transducers) + boombox
FYI, LG g3 & g4 had 1watt loudspeaker, and it was super powerful

i'm one of those weird guys who uses a usb dac with various overpriced high impedance headphones and i actually do like enabling the QuadDac with said high impedance headphones.
however, that DTS X 3D thing is horrible and i leave it off. sure i feel surrounded, but it sounds like vocals are coming through at a very low bitrate. maybe i need some different source files that make proper use of it?

Yes, I've noticed the DAC on the G8 has a clearer more cleaner sound than that of the LG G7

I tried my USB to HDMI that I use with my switch and it didn't work. It comes up with a message telling you to use the casting feature.

Is it possible that LG is so stupid to remove this feature?????

LG didn't support this on the G6, and I had hoped they would include it here, but I guess they're all in on streaming.

But, it is not the same, if you want to play with your smartphone in the tv, you need hdmi, streaming has much lag.
Lg v30 support this feature.
Lg g7 is fantastic, but without this, it can not be comprared with galaxy s9, p20 pro, iphone x...

Oh. Makes sense that they would've just kept it then. Sadly, LG is not known for it's logical actions. Haha

I'm experiencing the same issue on G7 Thinq and suspected the USB-C to HDMI cable. Is this really just not supported on the G7? They're trying to force us to use a streaming device by excluding this very basic and reliable functionality?

LG has disabled this feature by software.
As you can see in the attached screen, the smartphone detect a displayport adapter, but the tv out is disabled via software.
I have been researching into the kernel source, and I have discovered how they have disabled this feature, I have uploaded the hdmi_Kconfig file from LG v30, and Samsung Galaxy S9, both of them support HDMI out, and LG G7.
There you can see waht I have explained.
If it would have some developeres interested in this device, they could take back this feture to LG G7.
usb c to hdmi cable
When it comes to technology, I think I'm pretty up to date but I was a little behind the curve when it came to HDMI cords and cell phones. I absolutely love my Samsung S8+ and being able to watch videos that I have recorded, pictures I've taken on my television has opened me to a whole new world...... use easyacc usb c to hdmi cable watched movies from my Netflix app from my phone on the television screen. I'm stoked if you can't tell!!!

Had I known this single fact before, I swear I would have never bought LG G7. This is passed Apple's stupidity. I mean what the f LG? Wake the hell up. No more LG **** for me anymore.

So now, is there any developer who had successfully unlocked this feature?

The feature is directly disabled in the kernel. While we have the kernel the source doesn't work.
So does this mean there is a way to enable this feature on the g7. I just updated from an iPhone and have no wifi where I play videos etc for my students. I had the adapter for the smart phone and bought one to fit the USB c but when I plug it in to the HDMI it only charges does not show the screen

Hello!
I am interested in enabling hdmi also.
Any news?
I'm offering a reward! ?
Hi guys, it must be rooted the phone for make the change in the kernel to activate the feature? Or there is an alternative way to enable it?
There is no way to enable it at the moment.
Snapdragon 845 have HDMI as option- vendor have to open HDMI with paid key (same as Windows Home to Windows Pro). Qualcom understand the power of money.
So it is a SW issue-but You can't just change n to y in kernel. It's a clear case for LG. Maybe they can offer a paid solution - but I doubt it.

It seems someone with g710ulm on v10i firmware has managed to connect with a TV using this lenovo usbc to DisplayPort adapter 4X90Q93303.
Can someone with this firmware confirm this? ???

Curious about the ois on the V40

Just found out that LG promoted their V40 with "OIS+" + EIS for the camera. Which "OIS+" was first introduced on G3. On the other hand, our V30 have "OIS2.0" which LG been using since the G4. Possible downgrade on the V40 as the correction angle of "OIS2.0" is 0.7 compared to 0.5 on the "OIS+". Or maybe they did this to improve their kind of useless "Steady Recording" EIS function?

This seems more like a V40 forum question. I'm not curious because I no intention of ever buying one.

Well, since the resolution is lower, with bigger pixel size, I don't think like it really needs that OIS2.0 with 2degree movement. And yes, g4 is shakier than v20, probably because of 16:9 sensor?

(Q-HELP) - Advice needed regarding root & specs for a new LG phone purchase

Hi everyone ,
Looking for a new (2018-19) LG model, either global or EU version, that's currently getting development for custom roms and root with following specs:
1. Dual sim 2. Quad Dac 3. Fm radio 4. C-type usb 5. MIL-STD-810G compliant - IP68 and 6. If possible, also wireless charging.
I'd really appreciate if anyone could shed some light on this quest. Kinda troublesome with all these new models LG has brought out in the market .

The V50 's kinda exceeding my budget. I was thinking of somewhere around 300-350$ or less ofc.
Btw ,if my understanding from my readings here is correct, is that the G7 ThinQ is actually supporting the above mentioned requirements, right?

As I said , the v50 is above my budget, plus it's screen size is a bit too big for my taste and it doesn't have FM radio.So, to repeat my question, does the G7 ThinQ current custom rom development support all specs of the device? For e.x. is the dual SIM spec working, among others ?
Or are there any other LG dual SIM devices fully supported?

G7 is fine.

Can I flash a UK firmware onto a German model?

I have the LMG810EAW.ADECMB model of the phone, as well as firmware which is intended for the UK model (LMG810EAW.AGBRMB). If I flash the UK firmware over the German model, will it brick the phone? Or does the DEC/GBR in the model number only refer to the language of the firmware installed?

Is possible, but with LG UP 1.16.0.4 which is not leaked yet.

At the present time you can't cross flash to a different rom as the device is locked at the variant you have, LGUP will not work because of the IMPL lock

On LG V40 forum, lgup thread.
I tried this anyway with LGUP_Lab_Frame_Ver_1_16_0_3 (unpatched I think) and DLL 1.0.40 and it worked first time. The model info page just shows my model as "LMG810EAW", minus the ".AXXXMB" part at the end. The only time that was shown was on a sticker on the box. So i'm guessing there isn't any differeence between the UK & German firmware, except maybe default language or something.

It is available for download, I downloaded it and the associated dll for the G8, but it doesn't work to cross flash to a different firmware because of the IMPL lock, someone else on here said it worked but hard bricked his device because of the lock, so just beware of that before you try to flash a different rom

Well it worked for me, although both old & new firmwares had the same parent model (LMG810EAW), just suffixed with a different region.
It sucks that LG when to these lengths to block us from cross flashing =/.

Hi man, i just was wondering about doing the same.
I have recently bought a German LG G8s with DEC in the name. I thought it had the Quad DAC since before i bought i saw confusing posts.
Most of them say that the UK version has Quad DAC and the German doesnt. But both are the same model as you already wrote: LMG810EAW.
So i compared the official pages on lg.de and lg.uk and thers the difference lg.uk says quad dac, lg.de says nothing about it. I believe it is the same hardware, just software lock (possibly due to some licensing fees only paid for UK by LG).
https://www.lg.com/uk/mobile-phones/lg-LMG810EAW 32-bit Hi-Fi DAC / DTS:X 3D Surround Sound DTS: X 3D surround with three audio profiles Meridian Audio 10-band equalizer with 13 presets plus one customizable Headphone jack 3.5mm
https://www.lg.com/de/smartphones/lg-G8S-ThinQ-black DTS-X 3D Surround, Stereo Lautsprecher
Can you please Check under Sound Quality and Effects if you have under external audio options like Quad hifi-dac?
i have attached a picture of the g8s and my old g7 thinq on this page, the g7 having the options, the g8s not having these.
If you have those options on your g8s with gbr flashed, than its most certainly just a software lock and anyone who wanted could flash the LMG810EAW with the GBR localized software to get quad dac options on the non UK versions.
Thanks
You picture shows two different phones... The one on the left is the LG G8s ( which doesn't have the DAC ) and on the right the LG G8( which has the DAC ) . Two completely different phones......

This is the normal DAC from the 810 series.
No Quad DAC. Read it carefully...[emoji6]

LG G8S or LMG810, LM-G810 and LMG810EAW do not mention quad dac, only this:
DTS: X 3D surround with three audio profiles Meridian Audio 10-band equalizer with 13 presets plus one customizable Headphone jack 3.5mm - Yes 1W speaker located on the underside of the smartphone
No quad DAC mentioned at all.
LG G8 or LMG820 and its variations (all of them?) do have quad DAC.
