New Verizon Update Nov/8/2016

Just got an update for my VS995 about an hour ago. I haven't had time to look up what it's all about but it's still 7.0 although the security patch is updated to October 1st.
Figured I'd start a thread about it so others can confirm they got it and perhaps someone can share a changelog.

Got this update a week ago when I bought my phone.

Damn, and here I was hoping we were going to get an update to improve the camera a bit.

Last time they pushed an update, they took away a feature I used (app pinning in recents). Anything missing that you've noticed?
Any improvements elsewhere you're noticing?

I would expect that in a major firmware, if we get it at all. First couple updates I would prese would be security patches and/major bug fixes.

I really want to take them to improve camera, and whatever else. But, afraid I'll screw myself on BL Unlock if I do.

New LG v20 wont download update.

I'm on Wi-Fi and fully charged. It says there is an update and that i can download it on Wi-Fi. But there's no way to make it start the download and it's not prompting me. Any tips?
EDIT: Nevermind.... I realized it is just easier to fool the phone by changing the time. Apparently LG does not understand what the words "any time" mean. Stupid idiotic that it will only update after 11pm. But I have the update now by tricking the phone.

What sort of black magic is this?!
LOL, good to know for others who might be stuck in the same boat. :thumbsup:

It was on a 2016 firmware, unfortunately I don't remember (terrible I know)... I have T-Mobile and it's completely stock currently. I may have to root in the future to debloat since all of the bloat has the "disable" button greyed out.
Seems resolved now that I changed the time to trick it to update.

Ok I'm really confused because its almost December and I'm still on the April update. I have confirmed that there have been a spetember and october update but I still didn't get them. Does anyone know how to get the latest security patch

H990ds TWN Security patch?

I haven't received the last security patch in my V20. I have the H990ds TWN variant.
Should I be worried?
Anyone else with this problem?

LG sux big time, latest firmware is from December 2016 ?

You probably won't receive it either.
Go to this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/restore-v20-to-100-stock-bricked-devices-t3524903
From the given link download the following firmware to update:
H990ds10e_OPEN_SG_DS_OP_0314.kdz
Follow the instructions in the OP to update with the above firmware you downloaded. It's easy, but be aware the .kdz file is something like 2.8GB.
You will then have the latest security patch for your V20 variant, 1 March 2017.

This a way to update, but keep in mind that you will NOT get any OS updates anymore. That is because your phone is not original branded anymore.

Correct!
But we haven't been getting updates anyway.
So I'm happy with this, and occasionally checking for future updates and installing when found.

Most regions have recent updates till march/april 2017, except the TWN version. I am afraid that we are part of the very unlucky few..........

Yeah but we still have an incredible piece of kit.
Even though root looks an impossibility I'm still chuffed I swapped my G6 for this V20. Probably the best phone I've owned.

Yeah, I'm afraid of that too...

But what are the differences between these software versions (a,b,c....,g)

As far as I know the only benefit I gained was the security patch update.
I've not had any official OTA update from LG.
Also I have no idea what the position is with other variants.

I compared the system files between the C(TWN) and E(SGN) version with FX Explorer. A lot of system files have a update. So it is absolutly more than just security updates.

Okayyyyyy
Can you do a comparison between V10c-TWN and V10e-SEA?

Yes, I can. But it is too much to so. But, there are several updates.

Lol I guessed you'd say that, was just messing.
But thanks for enlightening us.

OK, in a nutshell....
Having only read online reviews I liked the V20 more.
Then after picking up my G6 and handling it for about 90 minutes I wasn't so sure....
Until the owner of this V turned up. 5 minutes with this and I knew the G was going.
So, after less than 2 hours with my G I exchanged it for this V20, LG Quick Cover and £150 cash ?
That's my story. And I'm well pleased.
Only one thing would make this my best phone ever.... yep, root. The amount of stuff I've done with my rooted Z2 over the past 3 years has been awesome and great fun, and it's still a brilliant phone.
Maybe one day.....

V10e-TWN-XX arrived yesterday ?

But VOLTE which they mentioned in release notes for V10e-TWN is nowhere that I can find. Perhaps it is not showing since my carrier at this moment doesn't support it.

I'm not sure anyone has the VoLTE. I haven't.
Although it's not a priority for me its still annoying that LG's official description seems to be plain wrong. But sadly not surprising.

the feature is available if your carrier supports voice over lte future.
I personally checked with a Vodafone sim card

New Firmware QF1 released 6/28/2017...June Security Update

QF1 released, June Security update. Some outlets say there are bugfixes and battery optimizations, probably just a security update.

Just updated mine.
Nothing new.
Same old story

I keep getting notifications of stuff like this, yet I accept and nothing seems to apply or change at all. I just wanna know when one of these updates will stop my phone from rebooting 3-4x a day!!

go back to LL, you won't have that issue.. I recently went back, and will not be going back to MM again.

I don't suppose there's an OTA way of doing that bs having to usr ODIN? I figure if I'm going to go through all the trouble of ODIN that I may as well just root and do custom ROM, kernel, OC, etc etc.

Not sure if this will work, but I got a VZW prepaid for my daughter to use on WiFi - it has never had a SIM in it, and it's gotten I think two updates. Did you try pulling your SIM, rebooting, then checking for update (with SIM removed)

Did you figure anything out on this? I also have an carrier unlocked xt1767, and I'm also on 7.1.1 with the May security update. Checking for an update just tells me I'm on the latest version.

It will update itself, stop worrying. Other people have newer security patches because their carriers approved them, Verizon didn't yet. It goes by the carrier the phone was made for, not the carrier you are using it on.

I'm going off information posted by others in the slickdeals threads for the Verizon Moto E4, and many have posted about updates.

We aren't worrying just wondering why others got the July security patch on the same build number as us and we have the may security patch. And I know it's up to the carrier that sold the phone not my current carrier.

Slow roll outs in case something goes wrong? They usually take at least a month.

We're both behind on a July security patch, and it's almost October.

When did the newer one supposedly come out? More than a month ago? Forget about which month it's for, they don't make the October update with the October patch.

There was a pretty major security patch dated September that is supposed to address this "BlueBorne" vulnerability that has been making waves. I'm interested in this patch because apparently Android 7.1.1 brought some sort of issue with bluetooth low power devices on Moto phones (e4, X Play and others are claimed to be effected, making some BLP devices unable to connect or remain connected). Among other things, my son was excited to upgrade from an e2 to this e4, and he's a pretty avid Pokemon player (yes, that game is still around). There's a BT clip accessory to the game that hasn't worked and it turns out is also related to this BLP bug.
Other versions of Moto phones have had updates rolled out that INCLUDE THE SEPTEMBER SECURITY PATCH, and at least one source claims it not only patches the BlueBorne vulnerability, it also fixes whatever was wrong with the BT low power connections. So, I'm very much looking forward to this patch being rolled out and SOON. But that Moto mentioned got the patch today (10/10), which is dated September. It'll probably be a while longer before Verizon rolls out a version for it. I really hope it does soon.

you wont get updates without a verizon sim. im not sure you can manually flash it either without an unlocked bootloader and root. I could be wrong, maybe rsd light?

Hey mine just updated to September security patch I was on WiFi and I also have my cricket sim in the phone. The phone is now no longer vulnerable to blueborne. Build Number is
NDQS26.69-23-2-3
Do check it out and see if you got it.

Just did the same on mine with Tmobile prepaid sim.

Did you lose any GSM functionality from the update? I'm on cricket sim and want to make sure I don't lose anything. Thanks.

Yes I can confirm you do not loose GSM I'm using my cricket sim just fine. It was only a security patch. It was like 46 megabytes very small update.

My Verizon E4 (on which I never activated service) got a notification about an update today (new version: NDQS26.69-23-2-3). Judging by this thread, slow rollout is right.
