If your phone is unresponsive and you can’t access the settings, you’ll have to factory reset it using the Recovery mode. It’s a completely different process than the one described above but is just as easy and fast.
The first thing to do is to turn off your LG G8 ThinQ. Then press and hold the power and volume down buttons simultaneously and wait for the LG logo to appear on the screen. Once it does, keep holding the volume down button but release the power button for a second and then press and hold it again.
