For Indian LG G8X owners, few options for charging adaptors/cables & screenguards

[snizams]

ive tried 5 different chargers but this phone does not charge more than 10w on any chargers QC 2.0, 3.0 AND 4.0+ usb AtoC CtoC tested on usb tester. it will spike to 13w maximum then go stable 10w all the way. Can anybody test on their phone to confirm this? ive tried these chargers on xiaomi and realme phone they would charge upto 17w

Please try the Lcare charger mentioned in this thread. It is taking 1 hr and 40 mins which I feel is very good. I am using my ASUS Zenfone 5z charger which is taking about 3 hours to fully charge

Please don't order FCS screen protector. Their listing is misleading, and the product is below average. There is no return policy for it either. The Flipkart tempered glass also has very bad reviews. So, for now, we are left with nothing....

I just installed the fcs screen guard. They are very good. Only corner radius are little off. It is best for people who want a non edge to edge and non glass screen protector. I dont think you will get a better fitting screen guard for this phone.
It does catch some smudge though.
Maybe some people are getting defective pieces.

Can you close the device with dual screen and both screen protectors applied?

Yes.
After few days of use, the down side of this protector is that it is catching too many smudges and fingerprints.

I did a Full Recharge from 0 to 100% again today and it took 1 Hr. 40 Minutes.

Could you install Accubattery and then charge it from 0 to 100 and share the screenshot from the app. That would really help many people in buying this charger.

Lcare charger for LG g8x

It is very surprising that the Lcare charger can charge 0-100% in 1 hr 28 min or 1 hr 40 min. Based on this info, I ordered this charger though I have LG original charger. Will update charge statistics once done.

I also tried below options.

LG charger 16.2W (9V 1.8A)
Huawei super charge 40W
One plus dash charge 20W (5V 4A)
Geek cases QC 3.0 charger 19.5W (6.5V 3A)
Ambrane PD power bank 22.5W (9V 2.25A)

All are taking 1 hr 41 min from 20 to 100% with optimized charging toggle on (as I don't discharge battery below 20% to have longevity). A full recharge from 0 to 100% with all above options is taking 2 hr 12 min with or without dual case.

I bought this directly from Lcare. Received a defective product. It was not charging on any of the 3 ports. Shared them a video and they agreed to send a replacement, but asked me to bear the courier charge. I said no as it was not my mistake. Finally they agreed, but yet to arrange a pickup and send me a working piece. If I had bought it from Amazon, replacement would have been hassle free. If you are planning to purchase this looking at 2 year warranty, please be aware of their return policy. I cant comment on the product quality now as I am yet to use it

I particularly emphasized about them misleading us with words like "impossible armour". It is at best a scratch guard, and is NOT a tempered glass/impossible armour. This will NOT suit you if you're looking for shatter-protection. Having said that, the 'gorilla glass' on my device developed a 'crack' superficially without any obvious impact or a fall, which anyway might not have been prevented by this product. A tempered glass would have absorbed any impact and saved the glass. I'm really pissed off with the so-called MIL-STD Certification. Just another lie and a marketing gimmick!!

Well people with experience with these products know what they are getting. Obviously it is not impossible armour. And if you see how it is bent in images, obviously it is not tempered glass. I like these types more as they are thinner than glass and yes they also provide good protection to the screen. This one is cheap so is not perfect. Too many smudges. I am going to replace it.
Also you must be just unlucky, i had a g7 before this with same mil specs and i have dropped it many times and no damage. I have also dropped without cover.
You should ask them for replacement of defective piece.

Try the Matte finish protector from the same vendor. It's Rs.100 more than the regular one.

As for replacement, I don't think they would cover a cracked glass under warranty.

Dont like matte. Reduces display quality. Have no option but to try tempered glass. Not much choices for our phones.
Well since you did not drop it, maybe you can convince them to replace it. There must be no dents on the body. It is a long shot, but can try if u have the time for useless back and forth and fighting with them.
But actually good heads up for us. Maybe lg did not make this model well....

I ordered from Amazon and tested it. It is taking same time as LG 16.2 W charger. I am still not able to believe how 0 to 100% has taken 1 hr 28 min or 1 hr 40 min for @ cmpugay.

I am returning it as there is no difference in charging as it is still taking 2+ hrs. It took 2 hr 14 min to charge from 4 to 100%. I am not able to post attachment of Accubattery pro.
