https://plus.google.com/communities/109302847348648973506
just look in the community and you will see...
does anybody know anything about the EU update?

I can't believe a US carrier branded variant gets Nougat before the international unlocked H850. What happened to this world...

Me to. But so is... Sprint first with nougat... Incredible... Is confirmed.

According of the news on Internet, yes it confirmed. Looks like spring is imba

LG gives a fu*k about int versions of their phones from LG G4. They'll get it about half of year after sprint version.

Never will buy a LG phone again, I read an article somewhere before that maybe int G5 nougat just coming in February 2017.

Yep, just got Nougat on my Sprint G5 this morning!

Totally that's why LG is mostly the one with the quickest updates for their flagships at least. And I'm pretty sure it will be at latest in December but head on of you are so pissed

Im pretty sure that i have seen exactly where he got that info from, and the site is far from trust worthy it will be out before the end of the year.

Then don't. No one forces you to buy LG phones. You are surely easy to be deceived by some man made no proof not official article from a common website.

I used to have worse experience with Motorola when it came to firmware updates
Honestly wasn't even receiving bug fix updates, at least in LG i do.
Nugget already was released in asia and now it's rolling to the sprint devices, I don't understand why everybody dont pay attention to the comments that were made by the people who actually recieved it..

I recieved the update as well

Is it android 7.0 or 7.1?

Its 7.0.
Runs great! The autobrightness issue seems to have been fixed. The display brightens up smoothly now, and does not stay dark. There is a weird bug with the LG keyboard now though. If you click backspace, it does not stop erasing sometimes. I guess it registers too many button presses some how.
Still playing around with it though. Have yet to leave the house to test real world use.

Thought the international would of had it by now!

Any improve or bug in stock camera application?
Thanks.

Hello guys !
I saw few of you have official nougat update for G5. Do you have any news about nougat for everybody ?
Thanks

So far only Korean G5 and Sprint G5 versions got nougat, including beta testers. My guess, by reading the news and taking a look at Lg release cycles for G4 from last year involving marshmallow, would be that the rest of us will be getting nougat somewhere between today and the end of December. And by rest I mean international g5 H850.

They probably will. Patience is a virtue. And so far we got update after update for mm. So soon I'm guessing we'll get n too.

7.1.1 is coming !

Hey everyone
I heard the Android 7.1.1 update for Galaxy S7 & S7 edge is in testing at carriers and is just about to come for us
Anyone heard when exactly ?

The Beta testers will probably get it first. Release date is probably somewhere near february or even march.

I'm starting to seriously doubt if 7.0 will ever come. I rather stick to MM right now as not much dev been going for the Google Pixel.

I'm still running 6.0.1 on AT&T. Why the delay?

Because it is only a beta release and AT&T does not allow betas.
Final version is rumored to be released on February or March, and even then, carrier specific releases will probably take longer.

You wanna bet on that, everyone got it before them last year (S6), Vodafone being first!

am one of the beta testers and we are at update 4 now but still on 7.0
looking good - get ready for some nice surprises

No, the official Nougat will be 7.0. It was announced on Samsung Members here in Korea.

Yeah I saw that, and some beta users here inquired if that is true, only to get answers saying No.
Well I do want to stop getting disappointed at Samsung changing their words(or giving different answers). Hope we can get 7.1.1 ...

Android 8.0 is coming! Samsung Official

Hey guys! I don't know if you already heard it but Samsung is going to release 8.0 for the S6 and S6 edge as well? I just love it
Source:https://www.sammobile.com/2017/11/24/samsung-reps-say-galaxy-s6-will-updated-android-8-0-oreo/

These reps are just full retards who speak nonsense 24/7 & even more if they're Indian reps who just lie blatantly.
Although we all would like official Oreo, it's 99% never going to happen!

There are more sources saying that S6 WILL get Oreo.

http://www.knowyourmobile.com/mobil...24711/samsung-galaxy-s6-will-get-android-oreo
https://wccftech.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-oreo/
There is even more I'm sure.

They are not sources, just articles related to the same source already cited here, people from Samsung support center, not the official statement from Samsung.
In this case, seeing is believing. I don't think we'll ever get official statement that Oreo will be supported for S6, it's either it will or it won't, only time will tell. Certainly if it ever comes, it won't be before March or even April.

Been Confirmed by Samsung Turkey

You are right, they are all using one source, I messed up. Still, they are not saying there's a chance, they are confirming it's gonna happen and they seem confident. I'm sold. If it doesn't happen then I won't consider them a viable source of information anymore.

I'm still not convinced. It might even be that they plan to update it to Oreo, only to be cancelled at some point.

Maybe at 99% of Oreo completion a plane will crash in the house of developers and they will all die and it will get cancelled.

May I know what website is that? Thanks

Although I'm not sure if this is going to be real, it's technically possible. There's a phone called Galaxy A8 2016. Since the 2015 models of Galaxy A Series got Nougat, that device would almost certainly get Oreo, and it has similar specs to the S6 (Exynos 7420, 3GB RAM). It wouldn't be too much of a job for Samsung to support S6 too.
Maybe we could port Oreo from the A8 2016 if Samsung chooses not to push Oreo for S6..

Guys don't be so pessimistic...
The Galaxy S6 is still a very good and strong device. It is a Milestone and it deserves Android 8.0. They are probably updating it to 8.0 because they want to Change their update polity and thats really great. Be happy, at least they consider to update the device and do not cancel the update. They also could have said "No the S6 won't receive 8.0" but they didnt!

Oooo such intresting news about new software update. Galaxy s6 will may get android 8 oreo.
I have a perfect matched gif for this
Why samsung need to waist extra time and resources on a such "failed" device when they already are orientated at quantity instead of software sussport ? Battery is terrible, probably 50% of users already in 1/2 years of use switched to other device, like galaxy s7 or s8 or other one with better battery. Because.. I truly believe a lot of users was like , - pissed of with 3-4 max hours screen on time.
There is no point for them to do this. When they already released a lot of new devices with new android version etc and also with upgrades like biger batterys, galaxy s7 etc. As samsung stated, they provide 2 years of software updates. Thats it. So they what ? Changed theyr update policy somehow ? Where updates then, refreshed policy about this that they changed theyr own rules ? No official news from samsung, nothing.
Samsung turkey, samsung other or else etc.. who cares about them ? Samsung turkey once stated about nougat update when s6 will get and they lied about date when it will release, delayed a lot. And now states about oreo ? Haha.
I dont believe either of them. They just writing what they want witchout any facts or confirms. Again.. - rumors without trusted source.

I don't think that you anything about the S6. Why? Because in your opinion it's a failed device and the S6 is one of the best Galaxys you can buy. It is better/more premium than Galaxy A/J 2016/2017 lines.

Haha! What an ignorant guy. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 and battery is fine I get 6-8hrs SOT. Don't know what your on about. There is point for them to do this as they wan't to support their devices for more than 2 years to remain competitive with the like of Google and Apple. Yeah Samsung Turkey lied about the date but hey Nougat still came! I think Samsung CS counts as trusted sources, verified by multiple reps in many different countries!

Tab s2 may be getting oreo (NOT 100%)

I was on the line with samsung+ and they told me that there are planning to release oreo for the tab s2,tab s3,galaxy s6 line,galaxy s7 line,galaxy s8 line as well as some other devices. Now this is NOT,and I wanted to get this clear,NOT 100% CONFIRMATION that tab s2 is getting oreo,they could change their minds about this,this isn't a press release,it's just samsung+ customer support,because I knew some people were gonna point out this isn't reliable but just wanted to let people know that tab s2 has a good chance of getting oreo

I found this post to be very useful. Here's hoping it's true and Oreo will make its way to myTab S2!

According to Sammobile, the Tab S2 is still on the "may or may not get Android 8.0" list. I doubt will ever get an official announcement from Samsung. It will either just show up one day or a year from now we can finally give up hope. There appears to be a fairly stable version of LineageOS 15.1 for those that can't (or don't want to) wait.

The latest info from XDA https://www.xda-developers.com/list-samsung-galaxy-android-oreo-update/
The S2 is not on the list for Oreo update. I'm inclined to believe this.

Last security patch August 2017, think about that...
The S7 is still patched sometimes.

Check again, of course there is. Well, depending on which one you mean. T-719 it is?

Yes, That would be the 719 IIRC, I've seen that there is an unofficial build now, but from the looks of it the microphone and/or calling is non functional. Maybe I'll try it in a few weeks, would be amazing just to have 8.1 vanilla on there.

Yeah, I'm interested into getting a Tab S2 8.0. The ones selling online nowadays are mostly the T719.
There's an unofficial Lineage ROM for it now, but the phone speaker and mic aren't working. But if we could just use a Bluetooth headset to mitigate this problem, then I'm OK with it, cos I'd much prefer the Lineage ROM.
I've posted this question in the Lineage ROM thread, but no one replied so far. Has anyone succeeded in using a Bluetooth headset with it?

BT calling does not work, too.

But Samsung does not have any newer medium sized tablet than the S2 8.0. There is no S3 8.0. So why shouldnt they update this device. Or there will be a small S3...

Oh, that's unfortunate. Here's to hoping it'll get fixed in the future.

Wouldn't be surprised. Samsung abandoned the Pro series back in 2014. Great device but stuck in Kit Kat if im not mistaken...

Meh, I doubt we will get Oreo.
Samsung usually pushes out 2 major updates at most, and we already got 2 major updates (Marshmallow and Nougat).

The 2016 S2 shipped with Marshmallow, so I'm not sure that counts as an update. However, I don't entirely disagree with your overall point because of the tablet's age - even the newer S2 is hitting the 2 year mark, which usually means the end of the line for support.

Since when? I am on the latest update available for my T813 (January 2018 Security update) and it is NOT Oreo but still Nougat. Unless you are referring to custom ROMs which is true. But this thread is a discussion about stock .

Of course it does!
I've said it before and I'll say it again it's the best phone Samsung has made yet!

"nothing is confirmed until Samsung makes a public statement on the matter"
That's also on the same page you shared.

We have a pŕopability to get it unofficially as A8 2016 is pretty close to your S6 device. We just have to wait until Oreo for A8 will be released

Look, I do hope we'll all get that update but I'm just providing some news on that matter.
If we get Oreo, we will be the last phone from that biggest unofficial list.
Samsung is willing to try everything to convince us to upgrade cause the brand knows that we have the best phone ever
