Well, technically we are already "tasting" Nougat as 7.0 is Nougat... But semantics aside, if LG's track record is anything to go by(and it usually is) then no we will not ever get official 7.1.1 support on stock LG, but I can't imagine we will be missing out on much...

Sorry I meant to say taste nougat 7.1,
Samsung and sony are planning bring 7.1, Im sure htc will bring it too, so why LG wont,
Besides that, if The G5 will get 7.1 it will be updated with the G6's ui, and that's very important

LG G4 never received .X version of Marshmallow.

LG will
probably skip Android 7.1 and our next major update will be Android "O" and then will probably top out at that

That is mainly the result of lacking any 6.X Marshmallow releases of android...

Of course it will get 7.1. But I also hope it will get Andromeda.

"Lacking of" 6.0.1 for example?

There is a difference between 6.0.X and 6.X.

nope, 6.X contains 6.0.X in it. That's logic bro Focus on more important thing. For LG it is important to "be first" A6, A7 and then it doesn't care.

EHm, I dont know which LG G4 you've had, but for G4 there is no official 6.0.1. Every updates had and have 6.0 in software description.

I beg to differ between minor version number and revision number. Also I am not really aware of any 6.1 android, but that may be because of the lag of a API level increment.

There was no 6.1

You're lying! Actually i also facing bootloop issue and after it got recovered, guess what? I have official MM 6.5 ! Duhh~
Android 6.1 never existed, and if you mean it is 6.0.1, the 6.0.1 doesn't even available on G4, we only got earlier MM that is 6.0 unless you're using CM13.1 then that is another story..
See my signature, i'm using LG G4 right now.. TQ
ON Topic, i think it is 50-50 chance for us the G5 and G4 user to get 7.1 . From my past experiences with LG, back to G3 days.. We don't even get Android 4.4.4 or 5.0.2 or 5.1.1 but we only got 4.4.2, 5.0 and 6.0..
Back to G2, G2 was released with 4.2.2 and being straightaway updated to 4.4.2 and finally 5.0.2.. No Android 4.3 or 4.4.4 or even 5.1.1! Why my old Xperia Z got 5.1.1 but my G2 won't?
The conclusion is i can say, screw all this minor update.. LG doesn't even give a f**k about it..

It wont matter to me, unless i start to see LG sort out the 7.0 update and actually do something productive i will just buy a new handset when the next cycle start to release.
I really liked my G5 to begin with its not been a bad phone, physically its held up well, im getting pissed off with the fact V20 came alone and it feels like all development stopped with the G5. Worse still i cant even get V20 in my country lol.

4.5 Lollipop comes first. Maybe. Maybe not.
Nobody knows... certainly not on here.
I don't know when Google will release next OS, whether it's 4.5 or 5.0 with whatever name they want, but one thing I know for 99% sure that soon as they release it, you will see posts like "i hate LG, they never update" or "this is my last LG phone" or "Sammy owners already have it but not us" ..... etc .......... kind of.

This is not right. I bought my device in a normal store for electronic goods. The device has no brand, is a regular device and 5.0.1 was installed - not 5.0.2

I think he said that because some E variants shipped with 5.0.2 (such as the Verizon variant). Some of the international variants are behind in updates, 5.1.1 (w/ stage fix) is the one that's desirable.

For those interested, in regards to Motorola's failure to meet update commitments. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/general/motorola-failure-to-meet-update-t3237398
I've noticed a lot of people keep saying that were on version 5.1.1 but we're not we are on version 5.1.

This is true, and that may matter for some things but the important thing in this case is that Moto posed a 5.0.x update as 5.1.x, which is shameful, and there is a years-long pattern of failing to update that we want them to fix.

Android 6.0 kdz

LG announced than from next week will distribute 6.0 to G4 (first in Poland). http://www.mobilebulgaria.com/news/35965/lg-започва-разпространението-на-android-60-за-g4

Nice, I guess Poland has the Eu open model H815, so I think people from all over the world will get this update. (If they have H815.)
The same info in english:
http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-announces-its-first-android-60-marshmallow-update
I'm form Poland so just have to wait to next week and yes in Poland we have the Eu open model of H815 so update will be for all......
Now we wait for xposed for 6.0
Hello all,
I have lg H815 and I am from Poland.
Do you know if i will lose my root after updating to 6.0?
Yes you will lose your root upgrading to 6.0
You also may have a tough time if you try updating via OTA
i'm curious to know why Poland seems to be the preferred country in Europe for rolling out big updates first, Samsung does the same
anyways, i suspected LG would start rolling out Marshmallow by October 18th cuz they usually release updates by then every month
I hope there are no wakelock in this buil.
Only 2h of SOT is terrible for me.
@mikedemoda
well, in Poland we have malcontents who think that they are doing from us beta testers
Same for Samsung devices, cause software is developed in Poland

I hope someone will dump system.img ASAP I'm rooted with Xposed, so no OTA for me. Also let's hope LG kept at least a bit more stock 6.0 looks and feel (I know it won't happen, but still).
i hope we get a quick solution regarding root
i cant live without it...

H815 is the international model, there are other varients of the H815 which are local ones i think, But H815 should be first to get it
great news but they could be even better:
1) give us unlocked bootloader (custom ROMs are way more important than official updates)
2) if no unlocked bootloader, then at least make the official UI more stock and with less bloatware (I don't need LG health or backup apps, if I ever do, I will make sure to download them from the play store..)
if 6.0 has the same LG UI as the current 5.1 version I will puke - its awful looking with ****ty icons and crammed settings/notifications

Exactly how I feel, G4 is my first LG and thank god (and every dev involved) for Xposed G4 Tweaksbox! If there would be a fine running CM ROM, it would be running on my G4

Actually, most of your custom ROMs would really suck without official updates and your custom ROM's dev would have a very, very hard time developing (Not to mention that half of the custom ROMs wouldn't even exist...). This is not a Nexus with everything available for the devs to work with. It's a device driven by a bunch of proprietary drivers updated with official firmware updates by the OEM (I'm so curious to see how the G4's camera will perform on AOSP/A or CM...). Reverse engineering these drivers, I can only imagine how time consuming and frustrating it must be. Now imagine you don't even have updated proprietary drivers to even begin with.
This is why official updates are at least as important as your custom ROM, if not more.
this year no UI photo leak?
Last year many G3 leak and offical promo before rolled out...

Android 6.0 is here for LG K10 (k420)

Today's morning all LG K10 K420 owners have received the notification no update to Android 6.0 version (V20a).
Now we have to check if KingRoot can root it!

Just tried and it dosent work. Now there are two options:
1.Use Kingoroot
2.Wait for exploit that works with Android 6.0
The second option seems to be more logical since the Marshmallow update was released 2 days ago.

I think Play will be the last carrier to release Android 6.0 for this phone. You have to wait. If you are rooted then dont update or else you risk bricking your phone.
if it is true, pleake post screenshot with marshmellow on k420n
Guys, I don't suggest you to root your device. Marshmallow has Android Boot verification. What's it? It checks the all partitions if anything changed from stock. If it sees somethings has changed, might block your device. I just warn you, be careful and know what you'll do.
Yes I'm with 'berkantlz'. Chainsfire has developed a new way to successfully root Android 6.0 by not modifying the /system partition, but this is only for certain devices.
If anyone want to update to Android 6.0.1 on LG K10, it's OK. But by now DON'T TRY TO ROOT IT.

I forgot to mention but Android 6 is only available (by now) por certain phone companies, not all, even if you bought the same model.
But you have available to download and install Android 6.0.1 KDZ file from (Orange = Spain and Plus = Poland) companies, that if is not the official LG firmware (without phone's companies bloatware), you could install the last android version for it phone model.

LG K10 (K420n)Poland Plus , yesterday received 6.0 (778mb ota) V20B
see screenshot
Play (Poland) have got the v20b too
K430TR Turkey model has got V20y yesterday. It's already shipped with 6.0 but yeah
I have a marshmallow for about a week and i can say something about that
The first is battery, it's working shorter (Screen-On-Time 3h 30m) but Doze mode is perfect
I have got themes option and SmartWorld (i know it was in LP already but my carrier turned it off) and many new functions.
Light sensor and VPN works better.
Now On Tap worked good too but it turned off and i don't know how to turn it on back.
What about performance? The same like in LP, but it seems to me that animations is bit longer than on LP (just longer animations, no lags). Antutu? LP - 28k pts, MM - 27k pts.
After update i had problem with refreshing available wi-fis list and bluetooth just turning off after trying to connect with a speaker but hard reset helped and i haven't this problems now.
On LP i had lags on opening notifications panel with the navbar button, on MM it works perfect.
When I poweroff the screen and poweron back, i had about 1-2% of battery less. MM - no problem with this.
Don't Disturb Mode is quite difficult to use but works fine.
If you have questions ask here.
@edit my friend with nonbrand K10 (Poland) said that his phone is getting charged faster

How offten upgade?

Hi,
How offten is some fix/uprade for this phone?
It depends on who you ask.
Since its andriod one device official response is superfast updates and fixes.
Reality not so fast as of right now. Oreo was released and then pulled. So new users can't update to oreo from nougat through update (settings).
Hope that changes in coming months
The official wording is "monthly security updates", so it should be pretty regular. They just tripped over their own feet rolling out Android Oreo for the Mi A1, apparently they were not quite ready yet but released anyways because they had promised to do so. Presumably that will get better over time
You will definitely have one of the most up-to-date Android phones. My OnePlus X was still running Marshmallow with no official update in sight, so Nougat is already a pretty good update. I expect that it will take them another month to properly roll out Oreo. Android P is also promised, so you will very likely get the next major update as well next year.
