Should i update to 5.1.1?

Hi, today I got Smartwatch 3 for my birthday and I already updated it to 5.0.2......My question is if I should update to 5.1.1 because I've heard about battery issues......does it really happen to every smartwatch?

Yes
no, doesn't happen to every watch, (I didn't have those issues since day 1 of owning mine)
If you do update, there is a newer build out anyway for 5.1.1 which to some people apparently "fixed" the issue and in my case, I just got even better battery life out of it and it adds a couple of other features

Thanks, I upgraded two days ago and no battery problem thus far.....maybe because I don't have wifi enabled

Any New KDZ with July Security Update?

It seems that LG has released security updates for July:
https://lgsecurity.lge.com/security_updates.html
Any region get new KDZ with July security update yet?

I don't understand LG's point of view... KDZ with security update only would be nice...

LG is a joke. The security updates are non existent. That page is a misleading marketing scheme. I never got a single software update since January I bought this phone. I flashed the UK V20H just to make my phone usable. Where did they send those updates? To whom ? I don't see them. With so many useless phone variants do not expect updates. And If I judge from the current situation I don't think we will ever get Android N.

look here is the dowload link v20i ı use it now its perfect but battery is litle bad than v20h really fast u can try securty update is june 1

Rogers are releasing an update for the G4 on the 24th. They said its 6.0.1 and will include latest security updates

Next week we wait for 6.0.1

I gave up on LG updates and will never buy another non-nexus device again. I installer CM13 on my H815 and now it's working 100% with lastest patches from google Hope LG dies a slow death! G5 is not selling maybe because people are fed up with this crappy company. Install CM, you won't regret it!

CM13 doesn't solve the problems for me. While it it safer than stock it is also slower, laggier, choppier in animations and has worse battery life than stock V20H for me (same settings same apps disabled per app profiles and battery set to efficient). It is also still in Nightly phase which means it is not yet finished. Also the camera quality is worse on CM than stock. I will give it a try once they release the final stable version.

Than you can wait a long time, no matter on which phone I have tried stable releases of CM.. they were never really stable and always felt to me like unfinished work. Not that CM is bad but they had always some micro stutters and small things that could annoy you after some time of use. CM is a great option if your device doesn't get official updates anymore.

LG is one of the best, if it is about updates. Others are wide behind if we talking about updates/patches etc.
CM13: What about the camera? Is there a ported App or something? I would need a app, which can give me all options, i have in stock camera app.

I haven't got any update since December... I have international H815... Even crapsung is better than that.
Took a picture with the cm camera and it looked like any other pictures I have taken, but I can't see what the camera experts see so perhaps it's worse or even better lol....
The best thing about cm yet is the DPI! Wow! Suddenly I got so much more screen estate.

The camera app "Camera FV-5" comes close to the Stock LG Camera app if we talk about features.
But it doesn't get close to the photo quality if you compare pictures taken with the LG Camera on the stock ROM to pictures taken with any camera app on AOSP and CM based ROMs.

Nougat roll out for HTC 10 halted due to bugs

This isn't the best news.
http://m.gsmarena.com/skype_for_lin..._to_autostart_launch_minimized-news-22752.php

We can probably safely say March or April. Oh well.
All kidding aside: llabtoofer just said within the next 3 weeks all you guys in Europe should have it. Enjoy

Nougat is not ready for prime time. Not impressed at all. My custom MM rom works perfectly. I tried Nougat. Uninstalled.

Looks like soon it would be the US unlocked users getting angry : why the heck we're using a buggy version??
Even now it's EU users are complaining : when the heck could we taste nougat...??

I have the US unlocked model and I'm using the latest firmware with Maximus HD and ElementalX installed, no complains at all so far the stock ROM was also fine the few weeks I used it

Maximus HD is based on leaked EU update. And I am not talking about that.
Maybe you haven't seen what does the dev of Maximus say about the upcoming EU OTA?

No one has specified what "buggy" even means... is it something minor like a laggy UI or a major security vulnerability like stagefright?

*bugs* is a bull excuse in regards to no updates
while while they're fixing these bugs *with N then why didnt they continue to update our devices on MM with the monthly security updates ?
Europe unlocked devices haven't had an update since October & that came with the august 2016 security patch what happened too September, November , December, January
this fixed version of N will be out in February according to llabtoofer will likely be 7.0, we probably wont see 7.1 until spring (htc ultra hasn't even released yet & thats on 7.0)

I'm taking about you said US users now will be angry about why they were left with a buggy firmware, and I'm telling you I used it with the stock ROM and I'm not angry about it. He said the EU build was more stable, that doesn't mean that the US was a bad build though and yes, it may be based on such firmware but I'm using it with the US one

Come on man, I am not saying US update isn't good. I am saying compare to EU update, US one is less responsive and less smooth. Been treated differently might make some users angry. #sense of humour#...

I am sure the US will also get the equivalent matching update around the same time

7.0 has been a mess, and even 7.1.1 has alot of problems, even on nexus/pixel devices. It would suck to be on 7.x and have that 30% battery bugg that alot of people experience. And thats just the obvious buggs.
7.x does not offer enough of a upgrade to make it worth having a buggy release. Esp if one is stuck with that buggy version for months.

I have the Nougat update on my T-Mobile HTC 10 completely stock not rooted and have experienced a few bugs.the day after I updated I took a picture and the phone froze went into a reboot and actually rebooted itself 4 times before it went back into the system. Had a random reboot another time and had an instance where my phone would not charge but a reboot fixed the issue

And please remember there's no OS nor app is bug free in the world. It is an excuse but also the truth.
I bought iPhone 7 last just want to experience a "smooth OS", but it freezed while taking a picture, battery drops very quickly and phone got every hot randomly... So yeah, back to HTC.

I tried N for a bit on Viper and had bad battery drain so I went back to MM and still had that battery drain, I found out Facebook has been causing bad battery so I uninstalled it and Messenger and seems to be much better. I was wondering if Facebook was my issue on N as well or if it was Android N causing it. Guess I will stick with MM for now.

I've been on Nougat for some time now (unlocked) and I have noticed any issues. What exactly is the problem?

Is your device US unlocked ? Do all your apps that auto sync or update do so while you're using battery saver, or while you're on data? Only way I can get gmail and other similarly syncing apps is on Wi-Fi without using battery saver

i meant to say that I haven't noticed any issues, but clearly you understood me. ?
Anyway, I get push gmail notifications as usual, no issues there. I'm almost always only on mobile data, and rarely ever use battery saver. I have an unlocked stock US model.
The only minor issue I've noticed is that sometimes I don't get notified of whatsapp messages (via the notification shade), if multiple are received at around the same time.

The only bug i've found was in the Settings.
If you enter it, press back button and then try to enter again, it'll take some seconds to show up.
Everything else is ok.

Rollback to Marshmallow?

So, I suppose that many of you have heard of the infamous Nougat battery drain. I've been experiencing it ever since I upgraded to 7.0. It's not necessarily a big problem, since I can still get through a normal, full day of use.. but it's still very noticeable. From the more than 4 hours of SoT I used to get, I can now barely get more than two, normally even lower. I have no idea what the problem is, I've tried everything. And since I'm going to go on a trip soon, I'm really going to need a good battery life.
So, I was thinking about rolling it back to Marshmallow. I'm S-OFF, so I'll use a RUU.zip. Before doing that however, I would love to hear some opinions. Has anyone else given up on Nougat? Anyone who experienced the Nougat drain? And is the battery indeed better on MM?
We're on an outdated security patch anyway, July 2017 and we're already in October, but would returning to whatever security patch the last MM version had be dangerous?
Thanks in advance.

I have been on U.S Unlocked nougat since the initial release and I have no such problem. Battery ain't what it used to be but I always hit 4 hours sot.
You could try flashing a Sense-based custom rom like Viper or Leedroid first to see if there is an improvement.
Regarding security, based on all the people *****ing in the Updates thread I'm pretty sure your phone will immediately contract the Ebola virus after downgrading to MM. Either that, or you're probably fine with the "old" security patches on MM. Your choice to try though.

S-OFF, flash MM RUU

Question March update, stay or?

Should i stay on S2B3.220205.007.A1 or should I update to the march update. I am not having any problems other then battery life on LTE.

No issues on March update here. However I keep reading people say the vibration is a bit weaker. Personally I don't have a problem with the vibration at all

No issues on the March update for me either. Had good battery on Feb update and just as good or better on the Mar update.

No issues for me...100% stock.

For me the March update is perfect. This phone is finally what it should have been when it was first released. Everything works great, and that software experience is awesome.

The vibration has been smoothed out for calls and messages but left alone for other notification.
