I just got an LG Wing but it seems it can't stay on for very long...

So I bought an LG Wing from China on eBay and apparently it was used but when it arrived it actually seemed like it was brand new (the shrink wrap on the box looked factory-applied). I took it out, set it up, but for whatever reason it just randomly shuts itself off and has to be repowered by holding the button down. It was even doing this during the setup process.

Is that the sign of something?

Hello from new LG Wing user

Just received new old stock and I'll have to say this phone is pretty amazing.

Still trying to update from Android 10 to 13 (AT&T variant) but besides that, it's been a joy to set up.

I'm on my third generation of Galaxy Fold phone and I'm enjoying this phone just as much. It's amazingly thin compared to some of the foldable phones.

That small square screen is just enough to do additional scrolling and viewing.

I wish someone continued with this form factor opposed to the boring slab phones.

Any advice to give me? It's taking a while to figure out the Android updates (trying to use a prepaid SIM) but besides that, loving the experience.

I finally got these novel Qi2 (aka MagSafe) cases for all my 2019-2020-released LGs [V50/G8S/G8X/V60/Velvet/Wing]. Even if you rarely want to charge wirelessly, they are great for using with all kinds of MagSafe stands at home or on-the-go. (12 images)

My first purchase was before the summer, for my daughter's Velvet, to try out how well they attach. I finally have the set complete, also for my two current daily drivers, the G8S and Wing.

I am still using other cases (as I have multiple V60 and V50 units and Dual Screen cases). My son is also sticking to his Case Mate "Tough Black Plus" case for his Wing, as he sees less need for wireless charging + attaching. My wife's V50 is mainly used as a video source (over USB-C) to the treadmill's larger screen. Because it does not charge over the included USB-C to HDMI cable, having the Qi2 MagSafe option is good to have for keeping the charge during longer sessions.

All except the (hard to find, btw) case for the Wing are the transparent kind. Transparent cases are not without downsides: they tend to slowly turn yellow when exposed to light. So keeping spares in a dark drawer may be advised. All of the ones I tested have sufficient raised edges to also protect the screen beyond screen protectors.

I got all the cases from various traders and shops on Ali Express, but I expect them to also pop up on other sales platforms such as Amazon and eBay. The best way is to search for "MagSafe" in combination with the model, e.g. "LG V60 MagSafe"

The 12 images in this post are also available on Imgur, with more details in the descriptions under each slide. https://imgur.com/a/8yxNcMx . Recommended if you want to learn more.

My quest to "do something" with the Qi wireless charging coils in these phones already started 4 years ago, long before these cases were finally introduced:
