Official LG G4 Android M Discussion Thread - G4 General

What do you think about G4 Android M update?
Does G4 users get Android M update before 2016?
Which country will get M update firstly?
Let's discuss...

Poland and other smaller EU countries may see it first (H815).. followed by Korea (F500K/L/S). Should happen before 2016... late October.. November or early December.
H815 variants (H815L/T etc) and other international models (H818 etc) and USA models will most likely get updated later during Q1 2016.
But impossible to know for sure until the time comes.

I've read somewhere that LG is currently testing Marshmallow on the G4.. So I think it will be release somewhere in October or November.. At least before 2016.

Luckily the Sea variant can flash kdz for the European variant. I've read you'll lose things like volte.

We are on software 10z. I would imagine Korean phones will be the first but only time will tell. Looking forward to it though!

What @autoprime said..

I predict February for most devices to have M. According to their track record it's been like that. November and December for Korea and Poland.

http://www.techtastic.nl/smartphone...irect-geupdatet-naar-android-6-0-marshmallow/
And a dutch website:
Google gaat naar alle waarschijnlijkheid de uiteindelijk versie van Android 6.0 Marshmallow*in september of begin oktober uitrollen naar zijn verschillende Nexus producten. De verwachting is dat de LG G4 nog in 2015 worden geüpdatet, terwijl Marshmallow later wordt uitgebracht voor de LG G3 en LG G2. Er gaan zelfs geruchten dat de update in zijn geheel is geschrapt voor de LG G2, hoewel we dat betwijfelen gezien het feit dat het toestel qua specificaties een kopie is van de Nexus 5, een toestel dat Marshmallow zonder problemen draait.
"De verwachting is dat de LG G4 nog in 2015 worden geüpdatet"
English: The prediction is that the LG G4 will get an update in 2015. The LG G3 will come later and there are rumours that the G2 won't even get the update at all.
Note: These are all rumours! And i think the international carrier-unlocked H815 will be first.

It would be nice if I got marshmallow before the end of the year but not getting my hopes up as I have at&t. Did a Google search on update history for at&t optimus G, G2, and G3 and its always the following April after the nexus launch. Seems a bit long to me

Hopefully true....

Probably you guys haven't heard about lg OGP. I am coming from that device eithiut minimum support. Most locations received lolipop update except in india. Yes it sucks.. But couldn't help it.
Also, speaking of v10z? Seriously? We still are on v10f! Heh

Id rather they give us an unlockable bootloader first. I wouldn't want to update to 6.0 anyway until I can get xposed and all the other tweaks I like having first. Made that mistake going from kit kat to lollipop right away and man did 5.0 suck for the first few months. 6.0 is not even a big update anyway.

Isn't LG usually pretty fast at pushing these updates out to the carriers? I would imagine the carriers will be the problem.
Thankfully for us Canadian users, we just need ONE carrier to release the update as the H812 is identical across all versions.

Which version of lg v20 should I buy?

Hi, There are a few versions. for the best update support which one of them should I buy? I'm not sure if this is the case with LG but with Samsung some of the models receive updates much much later!
Which of the models should I buy?
Buy the one supported in your region by your carrier. If you have a GSM carrier/MVNO that doesn't have its own variant, then get the unlocked.

what's the unlocked model number?
edit: weird, the taiwain dual sim version was just 600$ in my country, everywhere else the lg v20 is 800$! how is that possible?!
Is the dual-sim bad? I'm worried I'm not gonna get software updates. I don't use dual sims!

Whatever you choose, cross reference the phone with your carrier to make sure it will work.

It will work! but I'm worried about other stuff. usually dual-sim versions of phones aren't really as good and software updates aren't good either. should I worry? what about root:?

I do care a lot about updates, So I guess I'll find the single SIM or otherwise buy HTC 10, Because google play doesn't work without root. or google now! I do have my rooted note 4 but I'm not sure it will work!

Maar behalve Samsung die exact dezelfde rom gebruikt voor zowel de dubbele als de enkele versie, lopen alle andere fabrikanten vertraging op met updates op dual-sim-apparaten en root-methode...LG V20 dual sim zal misschien nooit rooten...

Unbranded Canadian Oreo LG Bridge?

Hello .Once the Oreo update has gone online for lg bridge,Would the push firmware be for a specific carrier(I use Telus sim card)or would my LG H873 get a general Canadian update?
Gyaaaah, why are you people so impatient?
Right now Oreo is available ONLY for Korean versions of G6.
Hu?

It depends , what is your firmware version ? You can find it in settings, about phone ,about software.(that menu where you can find android version), and read last line.

It does not matter which carrier or sim u r using, it will be updated OTA once update is released. M also using Canadian H873, all updates r OTA(over the Air) and you dont need LG Bridge. You will get general update, not carrier specific.
H87315d is the last firmware i have

So it will be updated OTA or via bridge as any unlocked lg g6 in canada.
Fun fact: In Korea LG is carrier itself. So you will never know who will have update first. Carrier or not by the end of june update arrive or hope will be gone...

As far as I know, carriers tend to follow the same schedule for updates. The update should roll out around the same time for ALL H873 phones, but some things may come up that force carriers to hold back on the update for a bit.
We've just gotta wait patiently now for the carriers to release the update.

Oreo on the LG V20 H990DS

Android 8.0 Oreo started rolling out on the LG V20 at the end of July. I own the international version of the phone, the LG V20 H990DS. When I check for an OS Update it says that there's no Update available.
Why is that? Am I the only owner of the H990DS version experiencing this? Could it have to do with the fact that I imported it because it's not being sold by retail in my country?
Thanks in advace.

Ok, thanks.
Do you or does anybody have an idea, when it's expected to be released for everyone?
(I know that there are other threads, but they are not really up-to-date with the most recent post on the topic I found being from March)
Thanks in advace.
Mid august or september was the mentioned dates in previouse posts.
I asked the LG online chat about the H990DS updates....
Here is the transcript from LG chat on the question:
Time of chat: 8/15/2018 3:01:28 PM
Length of chat: 00:07:16
Your name: Dax
Chatted with: Micel
3:01 PM Micel: Hello, Dax. Please allow me a moment while I review your question...
3:01 PM Micel: I will be more than happy to assist you with your concern.
3:02 PM Dax: Great
3:02 PM Micel: Yes, there is an update that will be rolled out to LG V20.
3:02 PM Micel: However, we do not have any specific time when the update will be rolled out.
3:03 PM Dax: Is this going to be a security update, or a version update?
3:03 PM Micel: It is a software version that will be for bugs and fixes.
3:03 PM Dax: So not Android 8.0, just an update to 7.0?
3:04 PM Micel: The update that will be rolled out is an Oreo version which is Android 8.0.
3:04 PM Dax: Great, really good to hear!
3:05 PM Micel: No worries.
3:05 PM Micel: Is there anything else that I can assist you with today?
3:06 PM Dax: So, although you dont have a specific time - are you able to at least say within a week, within a month, this year?
3:06 PM Micel: Sorry but I do not have any idea about the timeframe.
3:06 PM Dax: ok thanks.
3:06 PM Micel: I'm afraid that if I will give a timeframe, this is misinformation.
3:06 PM Micel: Is there anything else that I can assist you with today?
3:07 PM Dax: Is there any information on how much longer this device will be supported for?
3:07 PM Micel: No, there is none.
3:07 PM Dax: ok, thats all. Thanks for your time.
3:08 PM Micel: You're very much welcome. I hope this has been of some assistance Dax.
3:08 PM Micel: Thank you for visiting LG Australia New Zealand Live Chat Support. Have a wonderful day.
Is there any news? There will be update for any H990DS version? I have TWN, but i read that roms for other countries can be flashed.
From what I have seen on forums etc it looks like it'll start rolling out from Sept 7. But only LG knows really, and they aren't telling. I have the exact same model, and yes you can install different regions ROMs but I find they don't always work the same. I tried a different version and had better battery life/signal, but Google assistant didn't work well and I had volume issues so went back to the version my phone came with.
LG mobile must be the most transparent company when it comes to informing there user base of updates:good:

LG open-source website listed the kernel source code for H990 model... Which is identical to H990DS, H990N, H990N etc... Elsa model...
Earlier it was listed only for Korean F800 series..
http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=H990
So we should be able get oreo in September for sure...
Now it's up to LG what best features they would include in it... My only concern in this phone is the battery backup....
Let's hope so....
Jesus, they still haven't updated this phone?? Glad I sold it, 1st mobile to ship with Nougat and then an awful track record in updates. They need to get their act together. Nice audio quality, shame about after support
V20 H990ds oreo update
Hello Everyone
I have same version in india and still not getting the update of oreo. Lg needs to do something for customers for update the software frequent.
my wife h p10 lite has 8.0 plus updates now to august 18 .. my lofty is still on 7 and nov 17 ... is there a moral there somewhere ... ??
No updates for my H990DS since November 2017... My second phone is a Huawei P20 (not the Pro) since three months and I have already received THREE security updates and one to push the power for players. What a difference, Huawei is now number two in worldwide sales. But I love my LG too, great camera etc.!

VS995 got its oreo treatment yesterday
According to an article from androidpolice,
Verizon specific model of V20 (VS995) got its oreo yesterday.
Are we up next? or gotta wait in line behind
LS997 (t-mobile)
US996 (US cellular)
H990T (Mexico)?
Like many others here, V20 will be the last LG mobile device for me.
This will be my last Lg. It's sad, because it's a great device.
I have the USA version of the V20 on Verizon Wireless and got the Oreo update late last night.
It seems smoother ... but had to reset a lot of my custom Apps and settings ... I'm liking it!
F**king LG!
I have the Indian H990ds, and it's still on the security update from April 2017.
I wouldn't hold your breath, the H990DS isn't even on the list for the source code release for Oreo, if it shows up there I'm guessing it'll be at least a month before it starts rolling out.

It looks like a generic response where they substitute whatever model number is being inquired about . Since the Sprint version is months behind other variants already being upgraded this person responding doesn't seem to have a clue . At this point I don't think Sprint has any intention or plan to have LG upgrade our phone to oreo . The verizon model was updated 6 months ago .
https://www.mylgphones.com/lg-g5-an...ad-lg-g5-android-oreo-8-0-stock-firmware.html
Yes this is not going to happen, it's better to get rid of this phone
whaaaaaaaaaaat? they Wont give us oreo?
As of April 4th, the Indian variant of the LG G5 is now receiving the Oreo update....so by a VERY small chance, we may still get Oreo... Im off contract, so I only use this phone for my second Pokemon Go account connected via hotspot, so I'm not DYING for the update, but damn LG and Sprint....a promise is a promise.
