When we get Marshmallow

Just for fun, flame on/off, you decide it
-edit-
I posted this thread on reddit/idol3 and guess what, it's not there

the end of may is most likely to happen , but the beginning of june can be a valide option , either way its close to happen soon XXD
keep hopping !

I hope soon

I think this will heavily depend on the carrier.
For me and Bell Mobility in Canada.. They haven't released a single update since they launched the phone (not even a stagefright update) so I have ZERO confidence that I'll be seeing Marshmallow through any OTA's.

According to Telus, May 31, so, hopefully, as Koodo is a Telus brand, I'll get it, too

so a carrier locked phone according to this screenshot will get the update on May 31... well, they say the update will come for unbranded devices first and then later to carrier locked phones, so the unbranded idols should get the update days or weeks before this date
or alcatel follows its way and at first releases updates on carrier locked devices and months later for unbranded ones :laugh:
i have a bad feeling about this.

I just got my 6045I global unlocked from Amazon to replace my stolen 60450(Cricket) a week ago, and it came with pre-marshmallow firmware and latest security update already installed.... I know this because the first one was old stock and arrived with the seal broken,so I asked for replacement and was told I could use old one until new arrived. The first downloaded the updates(came from Amazon fulfillment Kentucky), and the second came from Los Angeles (fresh from port,I assume), and had those 2 updates already installed,and judging from IMEI's, the 2nd was NEW, so make of that what you will. Everything I've heard points to end of May/early June. I am hoping for sooner, as the lack of ad blocking, and hopefully much improved memory management is killing me! We shall see.

Is it going to be available for EU version through OTA? My phone is still stuck on v20d-EUR-XX with 2016-01-01 security patch. This is not good LG!

The International model has been stuck on V20D for quite some time now. Seeing that new firmware is released for a lot of countries with updated security and stuff makes me think we'll get an update soon (crossed fingers!).

I'm getting tired of waiting. When I bought LG G4, I was hoping for regular updates for flagship phone. I have updated my phone on 3.3.2016 and there were no updates since then. It is still on v20d! Terrible support! Half of a year with 01-01 security update! Really safe and funny. These regionals updates are not smart and are not good. They should have push now firmware for everyone, not just for selected countries! I'm angry!

Why exactly we still didn't get 6.0.1? Are they planning to skip it and go straight to N?

Someone said we're on 6.0.1 but it's displaying as 6.0 "just like 5.1 was 5.1.1". But I can't confirm on that

Well considering how they ignored M they must release N even thought official support ends in August.
If they don't release N they must release latest available M 6.0.1 revision...
They are doing something but this is like one time a year and not a major updates, for flagship I think this is a joke if you compare it to how iPhones get updates...
P.S. I just checked that iPhone 5s which is even older than G4 have received latest iOS update long time ago really makes me wonder what is happening with android and OEMs...

You can't compare LG with Apple. You can compare Nexus phones with iPhones though. And you can see older phones getting new updates as well.
As for Android N, it'll be released officially this Fall, so OEMs have a lot of time to prepare for it. But LG has really had bad support all over the place.

Do you think there would be a problem if I updated my international device with this kdz?

OK, I'm going to download LGUp from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
In my understanding this is just like ODIN for Samsung and will not void warranty as long as it is an official kdz, right?

Right

Battery life any good with this one? I'm currently on v20f, is it worth changing to this.

I did update with LG UP and with my LG G4 H815 - EU works great. I moved from v20d-EUR-XX and no problems at all.

Yup, worked fine for me. Lets see how it goes

Mhh, i think that i will wait June Security Patch to update (has G5 been updated to june patch?)

I keep getting"unfortunately app updates have stopped" popping up all the time.. Other than that seems good.

Got the OTA update to Nougat last night!

Came here to see what everyone else thinks of the update, but no one else seems to be talking about it. Did anyone else get updated?
For reference, I'm using a FRD-L04 on AT&T in the USA. I'm currently on build FRD-L04C567B360. I'm not rooted or anything, just got the phone a month ago.
I didn't do anything to get the update, (not even manually running the updater) just got a notification that the software update was available.
It's been fantastic so far. I felt that EMUI 4 was slick and quick but this feels even faster and smoother. Very happy so far but it's only been a few hours. (went to bed shortly after upgrading)

Can you post a screenshot on the about info? Just to make sure some rumors are true that some people will get the update earlier for the L04 model.

Screenshot added to OG post.

Interesting, they must have just started rolling it out despite the February release rumors.

Hmm.. I haven't received it yet.Were you rooted? Were you on the B162 firmware before?

OP said he isn't rooted and got the phone a month ago. But I did hear rumors that some L04 variants would get nougat a couple weeks in advance so I don't really expect to get nougat until a couple of weeks into February.
Also OP does the stock messaging app support quick reply implemented from nougat?

In Poland some people get official OTA for L09 model, so they start updating our phone earlier

I was also able to get the EMUI5/Nougat upgrade through HiCare under the "early adopter" section. I'm in Finland and have L19 (the 64GB dual-SIM version).
Based on what I read, the early adopter program is not a beta program, but just the first bunch to receive the official upgrade?
Haven't installed the upgrade yet, have to first backup and charge the phone.

I would say it's more like release candidate. Under the early adopter section I have a comment that "some of the updates doesn't have official status and could be still not stable". Anyway, enjoy. It brings this much needed UI refresh

Where can I find the early adopter section in the hicare app?

after the update the screen off and lock is not working anymore, if you lock with the app you must enter password to unlock

in the app it's under Service, Os update and early adopters, make sure you have the latest version of Hicare from the Playstore also,.

Hej everyone...
Same happened to me today morning...i've got notification then OTA update is ready to download...
I'm in Sweden, not rooted, locked bootloader...

Thanks, that's what I thought. Of course it's useless to have an early adopter program if you are forced to release the same version to the others anyway. You have to have an option to fix bugs if major showstoppers arise.
Did the upgrade, everything went smoothly.
I was pleasantly surprised that the upgrade still has Huawei Swype keyboard as an option in addition to Swiftkey. I use Swype on all my mobile devices, now I don't have to install it separately.

Hi guys, I got the 360 update this morning.
Its not the official N update im on the beta N uk program.
I was intouch with honor UK early this week and he said that we would get another beta update before the official N release.
As you can see from the screen shots this update was only nearly 500mb.
I'm not sure if they are doing different things in different countries but this is what's happening in the UK

Hey there, I'm using N920I Singapore variant too! It's sad that no security updates were rolled out to our phones after October 2016, but I think the Nougat update should arrive real soon perhaps in 2-3 weeks? Because I remember the Marshmallow update was rolled out around 20-30 April....and I check for updates nearly 4 times a day just to hope for Nougat :laugh:

as I can remember, Singapore variant will be the last to get the update because Singapore variant or the N920I model get marshmallow update in the end of April of 2016 so there's a chance that in the end of April we will get the update.

Good news N920I users. Samung might be pushing an update in the first week of the may.

V20 in the UK - What SW Version are You On?

I have just bought a V20 from an Ebay seller.
It comes with Android 7.0 and it says that there are no newer versions to download.
However, my security patch level seems quite old being December last year.
The SW version details are as follows:
Android Version - 7.0
Android Security Patch Level - 1 December 2016
Kernel Version - 3.18.31
Build Number - NRD90M
Software Version - V10c-TWN-XX
Does anyone else in the UK with a V20 have more up to date software and if so how did you get it?

I think so... At least mine still in December.
Yes, the majority of the other variants are in April/March security patch

Download the following firmware -
H990ds10e_OPEN_SG_DS_OP_0314.kdz
Follow instructions in OP and when in LGUP select Update.
You'll have newer firmware with security patch at 1 March 2017.
And use search function, this has been answered already.

Thanks for that.
I had seen that link but I had no idea if that would install a later version of software than I already have.
Just so I understand - why does my phone say that it is up-to-date if there is a later version of the firmware on LGs web site? (Where does the V20 check for firmware revisions?)

You're welcome. I was also supplied the link by another user, that's one of the great things about XDA and the members here.
Because a lot of us TWN variant owners don't live in the region the phone was released in we won't get OTA updates.
That's just how LG operates. I find it ridiculous that they release variants for different regions with different specs, hardware etc..
How do they come to the conclusion that the V20 will not be released in the UK and Europe?
People of some countries prefer 64GB but others will be happy with 32GB????
Wireless charging only for some?
Then there's the bootloader unlock farce........
This phone is really awesome and root would make it even more the perfect phone for me. But I knew what the situation was before I got it, and I'm still happy I own it.

Because the updated firmware is NOT meant for your branded TWN V20. It will work but you will not get any upcoming updates anymore. You will have to that maually.

Hi Pierre.
You're absolutely correct, but updating to where we are now is better than no update at all don't ya think?
And it's easy now to check for and install future updates :good:

Hi, you are absolutely right about that. And I think it's pretty safe to switch firmware. it's quite easy with LGUP. But maybe LG will surprise us the coming weeks with a fresh new TWN update

And a bootloader unlock too?
That would be awesome, I'm already missing all the stuff I was able to accomplish on my Z2.

H990DS can be flashed to same model firmware of other regions. My TWN H990ds had flashed to Philippines V10g and working without any problem , only two pop-up message after every system restart , but it didn't affect to any function..
Base on the hardware of H990ds is similar to H990n (HongKong) , I tried to flash to V10h(H990n) and it is working as well.
Both version's performance are better than TWN-V10c , i think it's worth to upgrade.
V10H-HongKong
