upgrade (N?) for Moto 4G Plus

Call me itchy (?) But Just got my G4Plus, with android 6.0.1
I am going to need to root (ugh), because of the grandfathered (AT&T) tethering provision.
SO: does anyone have any ideas when the new 7.0/(formerly called N) will be out (and available on the our motoG4 Plus?)
thanks in advance.

When they decide to release maybe December january

Gee, and I thought that Google was announcing n/7.0 sometime this month. I guess november-January would be a more reasonable timeframe.
guess I gotta go root this 6.01 now...
Thanks

N will release by months end "rumor" or sept-oct as usual. I know the lg v20 will be the first device with N at launch in sept. Id say we will get it by xmas.

Yeah it will be at least December if history is any sign

So are we getting it or not?

I'm a little confused. Has the update been halted world wide or just in China?

They're only going to release it for the Note 7.

I heard the Galaxy S3 would be getting it before us too.

New to Verizon?
You must be new to Verizon. They are notoriously slow for releasing updates. They have very little incentive to care about updates since a phone that doesn't get updates or doesn't have the most recent update might push a customer to just buy a new phone that does have it. Coincidentally, they usually wait to push the updates until right after the latest flagship phone release. So don't expect to get Nougat (besides the beta which is easy to install, works great but disables Gear VR) anytime soon, most likely April after the S8 comes out.

New models will be out with the updates about the time Verizon allows us to have an update to the S7. Same every year.

Sometime between February and September, I'd say ?

[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..

Unlocked Samsung S10+ never received March Update

I own the S10+ unlocked SM-G975U1 how come there was no March update for it?

February is the latest. Samsung is a little slower on the USA unlocked variants...

Welcome to Samsung world! This is their flagship and they are already a late month. My Tmo Note8 still sits waiting for Pie while other phones are already playing with Android Q. If you want timely updates, never ever buy as Samsung phone. Look at their horrible update history which is 10 years old by now and it speaks for itself. Buy a Pixel phone instead and every 1st Monday of the month, you can expect an update as timely as clockwork. Samsung makes great hardware but don't expect software anything. It'll come when it does. And it will always be behind schedule.

I tried to recover my S10+(G975F/DS) from crushing on flashing Vendor.img through odin by flashing orignal firmware ASBA and then upgraded from OTA to ASCA, so try a clean recovery in odin

Disagree, my unlocked generic G9750 is on March update (and security patch) already

My unlocked SM-G975U1 still hasn't received the Match update. I think is mostly European versions of the phone that have received it now

Where is the T-Mobile December security update?

It's already the middle of December and T-Mobile still hasn't issued the December security update for the unlocked Note 20 Ultra. Late again, as usual.

I do not think it was released for any of the Note 20 Ultra

A YouTuber called Sakitech released a video a couple of days ago showing the Dec.1 security update available on his ATT Note 20 Ultra. Looks like ATT has made it available to their customers.

Most of the carriers haven't released it yet. You have to take some of the reports with a grain of salt because it has dropped for the Unlocked (U1) on ATT, they may not say if it's for the unlocked version or not.
Edit...
Actually if you catch it in video, you can see he's on U1

or it just go straight to Android 12 as beta seems to be nearing final

It seems like they're probably going to skip the December security update and most likely push the android 12/One UI 4 OTA, with the January security patch rolled in. Well, I'd hope they do that, rather than roll out the Android 12 update with the December security patch as it's now January.
