Nougat Update

as anybody got a clue when the nougat update will be rolling out to the moto G4 and was wondering if it will be any longer this time around since lenovo owns motorola compared to last year which say the moto devices receive the marshmallow update rather fast thanks.

I've seen some estimates that say from the end of this year to sometimes early next year. Motorola is pretty good with pushing the updates out so I would expect 3 to 4 months from June when "N" was released. If it's a branded Moto, then it's anyone's guess since the service providers aren't too speedy with updates.

Are there any updates for the H990N???

I've had my H990N since about February, and I haven't received an software update since I first started using the phone. My security patch level is from February 1, 2017 and every time I check for an update, I receive a message saying that I'm using the latest software version for the current OS.
Any ideas why the H990N isn't receiving any updates? Is there a way to switch to an official ROM for another region?
I love the phone, but am irritated how I haven't received any updates since February.

Lg sucks with respect to releasing updates. 7.1.1 is expected by end of this month or next month.

Awesome... just in time for the Android O release.

Just received an update today. It was released Sept. 11, 2017, but I only got it today. It was for Android 7.0 security patch level Sept. 1, 2017. Go figure. At this rate, I might not receive Android 8.0 for another couple of years.

After the new update the VoWiFi is working even in airplane mode just in time before I pull the trigger on note 8 may be S9 then

Firmware update?

I bought Moto G5 Plus retail India version on 1st of June and since then I have not received any firmware update at all. The current security patch on my phone is for the month of March. I want to know does this phone ever receive any firmware update?

Don't expect updates from Lenovo. Return the device if you are looking for security updates

I was certainly not expecting this when I thought of buying a Moto branded phone. I really hoped of receiving regular and faster updates for a Moto phone. My Intel based Asus Zenfone 2 was better than this. I used to receive updates almost every month for the first 18 months. I hope Lenovo don't destroy Moto brand. Anyways, thanks for the reply.

No chance mate, you'll get updates but they will few and far between.

Even redmi note 4 has got more updates than this phone

Just flash LOS. It's pretty close to stock FW, plus you are always on the latest security updates

Its because the big 3 have a monopoly on the mobile phone business in Canada! We pay damn near the highest for cell phones in the world. We're at their mercy and nothing will ever change that and they know it.

We pay big bucks to the big 3 that is why they can get away with this. If somehow we stopped paying them you will see how they will beg for customers.

Looks like a new update was just released ARA1 about to install it.
Its the january update.

Yeah I'm on the Bell network and just got the January security patch yesterday

I am on october security patch. I think we may get oreo in March - April. I even wonder why people still buying Samsung devices.

[Q] How is V20 support from LG?

Hi all,
I'm considering buying a used V20 for ~$150 for my teenage sister-in-law. That said, I have absolutely no experience with the phone. I've read plenty of reviews but those were all from when the phone was released. Would anybody mind giving me the down-low on update support and expectations with official LG firmware? I don't want to give her a rooted phone (mostly because I don't want to provide tech support for it).
Would I be wise to buy this for her at this price or should I look elsewhere, perhaps at a Moto G5 Plus or one of the newer budget phones coming out this spring? I'm probably looking for this to be a 2-3 year phone for her, even if security updates only last another 1-2 years.
Thanks!

This phone will not get security updates for another 2 years -- MAYBE a year, no matter the model.
It is a great phone if you root it, but you said you don't want to do that. The only way you are going to get really good battery life is either get a bigger battery (and deal with the bulge), or root it

Dude, the next security patches for our V20 will be available on late May. Or June. Or July at worst. What are you talking about. XD :silly:

And is May or June over a year away? Did I fall into some alternate dimension? It is close enough so let's call this April. This phone will not receive any more updates after April 2019. How do I know this -- history. LG just doesn't change.
-- Brian

Anyway, LG (or pretty much any manufacturer nowadays) has a record of releasing 2 major updates for its flagship devices. Since it came out with Nougat, I guess it should receive P next year (because LG )
Not much idea about security patches though, might last around 2-3 years. Then again, the amount of security patches you receive heavily depends on the variant you have. US carrier variants seem to be getting patches recently, while on the other hand, my unlocked US996 is still stuck on December 2016 patch (while my Galaxy Note 4 is on August 2017), and the lastest one is Dec 2017.......

I seriously don't know whether you are being sarcastic or not, really
The V20 will probably receive Oreo in May anyway, which is why I said that.
Although I can agree that LG is terrible when it comes to patches. I mean, from 2016 to 2017, I've only seen a single patches for my US996, which is Dec 2017, A.K.A the one I am downloading right now. Since mine is stuck on Dec 2016 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you think this phone is getting P you have not owned very many LG devices. The V10 got Nougat because a big stink was made, but it was a crap build, riddled with bugs.
The V10 was released on Oct. 2015 with Lollipop. Marshmallow was released on Oct. 5 2015. Most models got their update to MM on or around April 2016. Finally (after much community outrage) they released Nougat for some models in July 2017. BARELY two years of support.
The V20 was released on Sept. 6 2016 with Nougat. Oreo was released on Aug. 21 2017. Finally some V20 models will get Oreo around April 2018.
So let me get this straight, you really think that LG is going to give this phone three years of support and supply Android P?!? LOL
-- Brian

It Is going to get P probably(every flagship gets two major updates).
Although, I do agree that the amount of time they need to release it is just.. well, I should behave.
Then again, I am coming from Nexus line..
