Read forum rules!
English only pls! Thanks!

I very much doubt any G4 will get official Nougat from LG.

Yeaaaa.. So i think it is the right time to say "Goodbye LG"..

If korean version not get Nougat, we sure that international not getting too.

I think the same. Many low-end/mid devices from LG already got Nougat (LG Stylo 2 for example).

Many people won't buy next phone from LG and sales will be lower because of that. In spite of many problems and terrible software updates G4 was not so bad. They want to sell new phones and have earnings but none of us will buy another LG phone after this. LG G4 had many hardware problems and they did another mistake with update policy.

Wtf LG **** you. I'll wait till April and I will go for something else. I bought this because of further updates and guess what. It won't receive any...

Sad news!
I think I have to ditch the stock camera now ;(

Why I every time find out when I buy any new phone that there is any problem with upgrading, HW issues or whatever else? :/

They should at least unlock the bootloader on 81X models so that we can move on with custom roms.
I really enjoy the phone (815P) but it'll be the last one from LG for me.

I'm not sure if it's the final/legit information or just speculations but if that's true then I feel sorry for people who bought this phone and paid full flagship price for it... At least I bought it in 2016 and paid half price but one more time it proves that we shouldn't ever buy a new Android phone as soon as it gets released because of stupid update policy, never ever!!! Only in this way we can make them hear us and keep buying last years phones so their sales go down and maybe, maybe they will hear us, otherwise it will stay like this forever. I realized it long time ago, 3-4 years that OEMs don't give a **** about customers, all they care is marketing and sales, that's all I can say to you. Lets hope for the best but from what it looks like it's very unlikely as I personally received 2 updates in last year which only had new security patch...

Yes it pretty bad... Can't even supply updates for 2 years from Launch, which is a lot of peoples upgrade period.
I'm due an upgrade in May, but I can see me waiting for the next iteration of the Oneplus and jumping ship to that.

Not sure if legit, but anyway, if they dont stick to 2 major updates, i agree, byebye..

If there will be no update for G4 to Nougat 7.0 then I also have to say bye bye LG

You won't be neither first nor last... But we have custom developers for now so we could have Nougat this way.

Lg should think wisely bootloop then no updates they Will lose msny customers me included

hey, let's be positive.. maybe LG is too busy with their upcoming G6 until they forgot that G4 is actually existed..

I highly doubt about it. If they release G6, they will focus on G6, G5 and V20. There is even lower chance getting Android 7 N for G4 after G6 release.
G3 got Android 6.0 Marshmallow before G5 was released.

7.1 Update?

Before the G6 launched I read a review that said something to the effect LG was trying to get the device out with 7.1. Well that didn't happen but there's been silence since. Anyone have info on LG releasing a 7.1 update? I know LG doesn't have the best update track record, hopefully it isn't months from now.

No 7.1 in the G6 future, LG never update to this "minor" release, only security patch updates with enhancements, like in previous LG smartphones

7.1 is more than a minor update though. It fixes the bad standby drain that's present in 7.0. If they don't update to 7.1 I'll likely dump LG if this is indeed how they do things. Thanks for the reply

Then jump immediately, they won't update to 7.1, they'll jump directly to Android O.

I don't think thats true. LG said they're gonna update to 7.1 to pre-production reviewers so they're probably gonna do it.

Heard at least cpl of reviewers say it. Don't remember who tho. I've watched a lot of G6 reviews but only read a cpl.
Either way, if they aren't pushing 7.1 they'll probably hurry up with Android O, as you said. They're usually one of the first ones to update their eligible phones to new Android and Android O is supposedly really close (fall release).

Rumor has it the g5, V20 and now I assume G6 are jumping from 7.0 to 7.1.2. That only recently was released to pixel/nexus phones.

Absolutely not. Android O Will be released too late for LG to keep this phone without the update. Android O Will probably be shipped on the next "V" device and the G6 will only see it next year.
My money is on 7.1 being the only "big" update we see this year

Lol have you ever followed the LG scene? Seems not.
As I already told LG never updates to this minor release, it is also one of the fastest OEM to release the major versions of android, G5 received Nougat officially on November.
Again, this is based on the past of LG, which are facts, not on rumors without source.

Either way, an update to either will be nice and the sooner the better. But, to be honest, I am more concerned with gaining root/twrp. Being on a tmo model that is bootloader-unlockable out of the box, we usually get it sooner than later...at least on my prevous g2, g3, g4, g5.

Agree, if this year LG decides to make better updates releasing 7.1.1 for G6 i'll be pretty happy, this sort of things are always good, but well i don't have much hope for the reasons i've already explained xD
Root won't be a problem for Europeans H870, as always, but for the T-Mobile one, if it won't support the official unlock then you have to hope that devs find something similar to the findings on the G5 and V20, good luck :fingers-crossed:

What is so annoying is they let us unlock the bootloader on the TMO model, but they strip out all the fastboot commands, which screws over. I believe the Euro mode still has the fastboot commands, but I am not sure.
But now we're getting way off topic. :-0 See you in the proper threads

Based on the updates I'm receiving on the Korean model, I'm optimistic about a 7.1.2 update coming in the fall maybe September.

First of all this should be posted in the Q&A area as this is not any kind of development thread. Second LG hasn't announced if Oreo is coming to the V20 but I suspect it is within the next six months.

any idea why it was never updated to the latest version of nougat? is it because of the second screen?

It is possible that they decided to focus their efforts on 8 instead (I hope).

It'll be interesting to see LG's UX 6 on a device without 18:9 ratio, considering half the ux is based on this larger screen ratio.

it's not new to LG. They never bump the software version of their device, just like the other previous LG device but still gets update. :good:

I think most of what the reporter was claiming is pretty much no-brainer. The V20 is near-certain to get Android 8 from LG. The G5 and V10 have got decent chances of getting Android 8, but they're questionable.

It is mere a speculation of a reporter & not the official confirmation from LG.....

When will LG V20 H990DS most likely to get Nougat 7.1.2 & Oreo 8.x soon thereafter in India...???

Rumors says it'll

for those expecting 7.1 i dont think we will get it. lg has skipped versions in the past and oreo is likely around December time

now that the V30 is out. I hope we still get a few more major updates before we are rendered obsolete.

I expect us to get Oreo and Whatever comes after it because this phone was just released in October 2016. Therefore it will be 2 years in October 2018.
If LG does not update it up to android 9.0, they should be ashamed. No, really really ashamed.

The V10 shipped with Lollipop, then got Marshmallow, and after MUCH complaining got Nougat. I really don't think LG would be stupid enough to not offer Oreo, but then it is up to the carriers. However, when it comes to P(eanutbutter?) -- I think we are going to have to make a stink.

This is the closest V20 will ever get to Oreo.

Read recently it will be march-april 2018

It will definitely get it. There is no question that LG will upgrade the V20 to Oreo.

I guess no Nougat update

I know right. I'm tempted to get the LGv20, but I have a feeling that, this is it's last year getting updates

That's only said "No SECURITY Update."
G4 devices will get Nougat.. Waitingg..

Security updates?
Where and when?

LoL like we had security updates before. I only got 2 security updates since I bought it. There were never monthly security updates for the G4. I also starting to doubt for the Nougat update.

I had taken 2 major android updates and maybe 5-6 security updates. My device is H815TR. Now I am using v20i Turkey Stock unrooted(it cannot be unlocked).
As far as know if you have flashed right country kdz firmware, you will certainly take security updates

It only says no security updates, but still, if the nought update does not come for a wider variety of the G4 models, i will be very annoyed at LG.

LG really sucks! They provide updates for V10 but not G4. Ridiculous..

I can't even unlock my bootloader ? AndroidOne phones ain't sounding too bad, right about now. (Updates)

There is nougat beta for h815 which i use and full kdz for korean devices, so how technically u can say that there is no nougat? Chill, it will come out soon or later and it will be last update for g4 which is pretty old device in smartphone world. That said nougat beta is the best rom i had on my g4

Yes, I also think it will come out.
But the G4 is just such an old device beacuse it took so long for LG to develop the Nougat update xD

Are we seriously to believe that LG is spending any time developing Nougat for the LG G4 (other variants) now that Oreo is out, and they are concentrating on their (new) phones which they are actually trying to sell now ?
I think we've been left in the dust - again.

Are they serious, what are they talking about?! The last security patch I received was 1 year and 3 months ago... And this is on a carrier-free device which should receive the updates first, nice joke LG they probably don't even have clue that there's nothing going on.

Lol, 2018 is here.
Time to start breathing again - (if you were holding your breath, waiting for Nougat in 2017).

Oreo update

Does anyone has news about when will oreo update be out for g5 plus? :crying:

Ohkay... 91 views and no replies. I mean... I guess it's because that kind of information can be easily Googled but here we go...
Hmmm, the Oreo update should drop by December. The last article I read said something about the update getting ready by the end of this year.
I mean, optimistically speaking, yes, it's happening. However, don't be surprised if we have to wait until January.

Or go flash yourself Oreo! It's super easy!

Moto is currently carrying out Oreo soak test on Moto Z, Z Play and maybe on Z2 Play. I read that on a reddit thread and GSMArena posted the same a few days ago. If I were you, I'd keep a close watch on the reddit threads for Oreo soak test's progress

Honestly... If we get it before Android P is in beta, I would be surprised. The G5 (non-S) series is towards the bottom of devices Moto is concerned with getting Nougat, newer devices will get it first and Lenovo's recent history of update releases is pretty poor. My opinion is we can look for it maybe March to May of next year, although I could be off a couple months one way or the other.

And Moto X Pure/Style, and the Moto G 2015... oh wait, that one never did get it's last upgrade. :/
Basically, since when Google had Motorola the update life cycle and speed of releases was improving the entire time... Since Lenovo got a hold of Moto, it's completely reversed to beyond where Motorola was at before Google got them. I like the hardware, but the software update cycle leaves a lot to be desired.
Anyway, this thread wasn't meant to be a P&M session, so I will let it go at that.
