There is a trending issue with the LG V60 (Tmovile Variant only at this time) with camera and SD Card

unfortunately nothing will about it since LG would be the one that needs to fix it and theyre no longer in the phone business..

with that being said though i have yet to run into this issue with my phone..but i dont run a SD card so the issue itself might be linked to that and the camera.

which is still an LG issue.

How did you conclude it was an LG issue?

the fact that they designed it..built it..chose what camera and etc to use...network would be TMO...and last i checked the camera and or how the phone handles the SD card are all on the phone/OEM and not controlled by any carrier or their network. if you have insurance on it maybe you can get a different one..

seeing as how you dont see a onslaught of threads in here talking about this i would go out on a limb and say its much less of an isolated than one would think..especially if the only V60s affected are the TMO variants..and your thread is the only one to pop up about this in here. in the last year give or take.

actually 5 months ago a V60 was talked about..with proximity issues..before that was MMS over WIFI issues..not a single blip of camera issues and 4 months prior to that was charging issues and wondering if/when people would get android 12 and 13.

now that im thinking about it..if this is an issue only with a SD card in place then the issue is there..or when the SD card goes out (keep in mind SD cards only have a certain amount of times they can save/delete/move files etc). they do burn out over time of use. which if the SD card is starting to have issues then yeah i can see the camera freaking out since its trying to save to said SD card and running into issues trying to communicate with it..that i can see being a problem and making the camera weird out..

if the SD card is removed does it still lag out while trying to take pics?

Please keep in mind that Android 13 for Tmo is not the same Android OS 13 for the other LG V60 model variants. Every carrier adds their own system adjustments, bloatware, or native app updates as part of a package. 

You seem to suggest it just failed out of nowhere. The only change to my phone was Tmobile installed an "app" or content delivery "addon" (with out notifying me) that also side loaded "Tmobile Play". I believe it used to be "app selector" and is now called something like"app manager" or some generic deceiving service name. Although, I am not sure if that is related but the only significant thing i can recall. I have not had any other system updates. I bring it up because this happened with an LG V30 I used to have with verizon and their own version of this app loader. They released an update that screwed with other system apps. As soon as Verizon acknowledge this and gave me tutorials how to disabling it (and i believed they patched it with a new Android security update as well) - EVERYTHING went back to normal. 

After some more internet sleuthing, it seems the issue is also affecting phones without SD cards. I even caught a case where someone went through 4 SD cards and the issue is happening on all 4 of his Tmo variant phones. Also the issue has been around for a few months, but for some strange reason, it has spiked this month tremendously for many users at once. And again, it seems to be mostly the LG V600TM variants. 

Your explanation and quick conclusion only makes more sense if my SD Card, failed on its own, (BTW the SD card I now have is only 4 days old) and if it was occurring on all V60s across the board. 

i have had SD cards fail in the past and anything that had one sliver of anything to do with it started weirding out..

but like i was saying..have yet to run into anything like this with my V60 Tmo variant..only thing i run into randomly will be the AOD will randomly turn itself off and need either a double click of the on/off button to bring the screen back or numerous screen taps to get it to turn back on..no amount of restarts will correct it..it’ll just correct itself at some point within that day.

only issue i have ran into with it so far.

Can confirm that is is absolutely an issue post A13 upgrade. It is reported all over Reddit as well. I've never had an issue with a card, ever. Once A13 hit is when it started.

Sounds like a corrupted version of the Tmobile flavor of A13.

so weird. only issue i have had pre 13 and after 13 was the AOD going dark on me and taking multiple wake screen button taps to get it to turn back on.

hate to mention it and to lazy to scroll back up and see if i already brought this up but yall might perform a FR on the phone..something might not have loaded in correctly with 13.. or it might not have dumped certain files it was supposed to and now they might be fighting each other.

As I take a deeper dive it seems like there are a list of issues mostly on the A13 of the T-Mobile variant of the phones:

• Notifications not working properly.
• Photos not saving properly after a photo is taken. 
• Phones being downgraded to Widevine L3
• “System UI isn’t responding” message before crashing.
• Battery charging slower than usual at random occasions.

I understand that some or all of these issues have been reported on other variants but a google or reddit search shows that the V600TM Variant seems to stick out the worst in relation to the Android 13 update. And since the begging of my post I am showing an uptick of about 300% of reports about the photo saving issues (also known as the "processing" bug). 

thats gotta be something between the SD card and the phone itself..i havent ran a SD card since the last one i had fail and burn out on me.

the rest of the issues i dont see either. TMO V60 variant here.. for what its worth i usually perform a FR prior to doing any large OS updates (mainly replicates how the OEMs do most of their testing on the devices with no 3rd party apps etc).
