LG G Pad 8.0 - User Reviews

  • Very nice pad. I draw many things in quickmemo ans it looked very nice technicly. Games went OK. GPS was ok, no problems. QLMfiles not readable on pc, great omission. i give the pad 8 out of 10

  • Do you have an answer on how to do do this or exactly what adapters you need?

  • Yes it can very easy, go to your app store and choose a text + call app. It will give your tablet its own phone number, text free works great. Thats what I use.. pust76..

  • Yes you can but with this tablet you got to down load an app from the app store. Most have free texting but choose wisely. By; Ed1959

  • How can I hook my AT&T G Pad LG V495 to my Dell plasma screen T.V. ? Please help me with detailed instuctions with a proper parts list of what I need to cmpleat this task. Thanks... Ed1959

  • 8.0 v495 to your T.V.?

  • can my Lg G pad 8.0 accept messages and call how?

  • Don't you have to purchase a miracast dong

  • Can LG's G Pad F 8.0 make and/or accept phone calls?

  • LG tablet does not support MHL try a slimport converter you can buy on eBay for around $10

  • Is very fine and strong, but the problem with mine is that for past 3days it was blocked because my wife put the wrong knock code. Please can you help me to unlock it? I don't back up pin, please assist me.

  • Network is not corresponding after inserting the micro sim card. What do i do?

  • Optional microSD capacity is 128GB

  • Yes it's sweet

  • How do I get to home screen without turning off

  • Can you elaborate a bit on this "RAMExpander"? Does that increase the amount of RAM space, using space from a microSD card? My only issue with this might be the limited 1GB of RAM, or maybe that's why AT&T is offering these 'free' with $10/month for 24 months contract. I want to make sure that what I buy (videos, music, games) I can actually USE without it freezing up with such low RAM. Thankx in advance.

  • Data connectivity problem in my tab lg gpad 8.0 v 495 tablet. Please give solution

  • Vainglory only works well in devices with 2GB RAM. It crashes a lot in this tablet.

  • How can I hook up lg gpadf to tv to watch movies on the big screen?

  • Can I use this as my DSLR Monitor using Micro USB to Mini USB cable?

  • No you can not call with it. It states there is no cellular connectivity with this tablet

  • Can you call on it?

  • can i play vainglory on this tablet without problem?

  • thank you for the info!

  • No mini usb to HDMI is Supported by this Tablet. I have bought 2 different cables and my TV set support it but is not supported by LG Tablet. I have called LG Support line and they have confirmed that is not supported.

  • Yes , you can use Miracast and then your sound and display will be displayed on your tv, but your tv should have the app to connect to your tablet, i can connect the g pad 8" to my LG smart tv

  • If you dont have a problem using a cable then try the "MHL" it's a strate cable fron the micro usb to the HDMI. if your T.V. supports MHL

  • yes with chromecast easy hooks up and stays connected I have one

  • Is there any way that you can connect this tablet to a t.v?

  • who say no skype

  • Skype.

  • Unfortunately not, but its still an amazing tablet. I currently use it for my school Programming and it performs amazingly well.

  • I love mine. Did the one click root perfectly so I can use my system tools (RAMExpander to use larger swap file. PyFry, site survey tools, etc.). Has more than decent battery life and recharges fast. The camera is not an issue since I only use it for photos of broke gear. And I discovered quite by accident the calling via Google Hangouts works. You would need WiFi or MiDi nearby. Just very smooth in operation. Oh and the preinstalled stuff is small and actually useful. Not bad at all!

  • Can phone calls be made on this device? Without qpair

  • Ian unable to get Wi-Fi connection on my tab frequently going out of order more over it is not at all recognized Mr Wi-Fi signal but whereas recognizing neighbours signal any one can help me in this regard please

  • In black image with very light whiten the corners of display..to you have seen yourself ?the screen bleeding

  • My wife already have LG G Pad 8.0 and i think its good device even for gaming. Of course they have 1,2 GHz processor and 1 GB RAM, but hey it's priced lower than tablets from Sony and Samsung. 1280x720 screen in this case is advantage. I also play Hearthstone which run smooth. From bigger games i play Dungeon Hunter 4.

  • hi planned to buy this unit ... is it good on games like COC or Dotarena ? ... tnx

  • it will take any wifi signal broadcasted from other sources and work with it. it is only locked if you want to use a different sim card then original.

  • when this tablet is locked with a service provider, cant this be used on any wi fi connection except from a service of its own?

  • do you know what exactly is "4K" :-) and who need 4k on 9" display.. that's funny. Commercial tricks for brainwashed peoples

  • Please LG! We want 9 Inches pad + 4k oled screen +front stereo speakers and Severe form the metal

  • lets hope they release a high end tablet/sucessor to the g pad 8.3 by the end of the year. a S805 with 2k display...

  • Maybe these low end tablets should be the lg l pads or something, as all of their low end phones are l-something, e.g. l70. I think lg then should relese a proper replacement for the g pad with a snapdragon 801 for instance. So lg would end up with the lg l pad and the lg g pad

  • 8.3 is better....

  • Please!, any news for porting the ROM to v500?? please!!

  • this trio of tablets are aim at the samsung galaxy tab 4 series not sure if Lg gonna realease a high end tablet in the near future for the time being g pad 8.3 is a good buy until lg bring its sucessor.

  • I am looking to buy a tablet and the g pad 8.3 has a better spec than this one which doesnt make sense as this is newer, so the answer to your question is it would be more like a downgrade than an upgrade. Even value for money the g pad 8.3 seems the better choice against the samsung 8.4 pro, samsung is better, screen and processor maybe other things but for the price its the g pad 8.3 for me. Hope that helps.

  • this is low end tablet

  • Im a proud owner of he LG G pad 8.3 and its was much better this than this new Lg g pad 8.0 Please make a comparison before you purchase this new release.

  • I would buy the LG Gpad 8.3 over this 8.0

  • If you want to buy it, you should compare it first to other tablets because you may regret if this is a bad tablet. Second, you should know the limits of your budget. Lastly, you should compare it to nexus 7 (2013), samsung galaxy tab 4 8.0 and asus fonepad 2

  • pls advice me Shud I buy it?

  • And, my g pad only cost £179 from asda. Amazing value

  • it would be a waste if 8.0 and 10.1 are midrange tablet.

  • No, because g pad has micro sd card up to 64 gb. And it doesn't have flash. so why would you upgrade?

  • hmm, doesn't have flash. probably cheaper version of g pad 8.3. maybe with 1.2 ghz processor.

  • depends on the specs of the device.

  • I can't wait to see the review!

  • Could worth to upgrade ti new 8" Pad if new one will have 3G/4G, 2GB RAM, 16GB inside and some decent camera. Unlocked will be awesome. Just wait the launch. Hope LG will not disapoint me this time.

  • because of micro sd card yes!

  • Nice tablet but is it worth upgrading from a LG G Pad 8.3?
