Develop Bugs

[Q] LG G3 and our friend Android L

Do you guys think LG will be quick to update their device(s) to the new version of android once its out? I have high hopes given their recent record of impressive releases, sort of like a Motorola-esque turn around.

I reckon it will take them 3 months after L is out by Google

LG will not take too long, but Verizon will as usual take months to deliver an OTA of the original and buggy Android L, if ever, while LG and Google have released many improved builds in the interrum which Verizon may never ship.
As evidence, see history, including the fact that so far Verizon has released none of LG's builds of 4.4.2 past v10b it initially shipped with.

They are one of the slowest when it comes to firmware updates.
Their flagship G2 received 4.4.2 in the final days of March 2014. Nexus 5 was released in October 2013. Go ahead and count the months yourself

This is precisely what I was concerned with, while their history isn't to great, neither is any other manufacturers with the exception of Nexus branded and Google Play Edition devices. However, LG seems to have turned a new leaf with their "homerun" G3, the G Watch, and the anticipated G Watch R . Here's to hoping a timely update. I have the bootloader unlocked T-Mo version, but there is limited development at the moment.

Don't hold your breath. And even if LG does get L out quick, don't expect it to look like pure L.

Hope we will get unlocked bootloader by that time

HTC is great with updates, Moto X is too. Hopefully LG realizes that this something that people who buy flagship phones care about

Im thinking 3 months or sooner after android l is finalized for us. Considering we re a flagship phone im hoping sooner.

Eventually it will come but not as fast as the One Plus or nexus devices and i think even the One M8.
But we will see maybe they surprise us i don't know. What i know is LG not that good at the quick updates so far.

lol we are still in 4.4.2

Well i know that now all major OEM get new android version code 6 months in advance so they can beta test in and prepare before it comes out so i think it should arrive 1 month or 2 after oct

I hope you guys are right and we see it soon but I think you are all dreaming. LG's track record is horrific when it comes to updates and there is no better way to predict the future than to look at the last. If they had turned over a new leaf this phone wouldn't have shipped with 442

■ Application for LG V30 users 'LG OS Preview' from 2 days
□ Anyone can participate in LG V30 users regardless of carrier
□ Apply for 'LG V30's' Quick Help 'application
■ Various opinions of consumers are reflected in upgrade
□ Application' Forum "
□ Improvement to OS upgraded in December □ Improvement of
basic performance and convenience by software optimization
■ Managing director of LG Electronics Korea Mobile Sangyu Gyeonggi," We do not miss each customer's opinion and enjoy the best performance We will continue to provide services to help you "
LG Electronics' new operating system (OS) to be applied to LG V30, a strategic smartphone for strategic use, will also be heard from customers. We plan to continue to enjoy the best performance and convenience after the new OS upgrade.
On February 2, LG Electronics will launch the LG OS Preview program, which allows users of LG V30 users to preview the operating system of Android 8.0 ('Oreo'). If you are a LG V30 user, you can join anyone regardless of carrier.
How to apply is simple. Users can run 'Quick Help' app on LG V30 and click 'LG OS Preview' banner. If you receive a "Software Update" notification message that is sent out during this month and execute it, the wireless OS upgrade will proceed.
Users can exchange information by posting various opinions in 'Forum', a free forum in the 'Quick Help' app. If you leave the need to improve using the Oreo, LG Electronics plans to reflect it in the official OS upgrade starting in December.
Google 's latest OS' Oreo 'speed, battery and basic performance, as well as enhance the screen configuration, graphics and a variety of convenience features will be added. Optimize the software to drive and boot faster, and when not using the app, minimize power consumption and battery consumption. It also includes convenience features such as allowing users to watch videos and continue viewing images on a small screen even when running other apps, or to support a wider variety of sound devices such as high-quality wireless headsets.
Lee Sang-gyu, managing director of Korea Mobile Group at LG Electronics, said, "We will continue to provide services that allow us to fully enjoy the best performance without failing to reflect on customer feedback."

Just saw this on Droid Life. Apparently it's only for Korea users but hopefully they open it up to more countries soon. I want in.

That wasn't an "update". V20 launched with Nougat last year. Which is why everyone was disappointed the V30 didn't launch with Oreo.
Because with the V10 (which was still the flagship V phone when Google released Nougat in August 2016), it took 11 months for the official carrier unlocked version to get 2016 Nougat. July 2017. (Yes the same Nougat the V20 had installed at launch!) V20 was launched in 4th quarter 2016 and had Nougat already installed. Bootloader unlocked V10 then got it July 2017[/].
And it took until April 2016 for the V10 to get the 2015 Marshmallow. It launched with Lollipop in 4th quarter 2015.
Let's hope the V30 Oreo update is faster?

is there anway to side load it or do we just have to wait for it to launch in US

Hope someone gets screenshots soon enough, waiting for some revamped UI hopefully..

"If you’re reading this in North America, this news doesn’t directly concern you, but in a way it does. Announced today, LG is launching a preview program for the Oreo update to the V30, which is basically a public beta. At this time, the beta is limited to only those in South Korea, but for V30 owners the US, this is good because that means Oreo is indeed being worked on and must be nearly ready for rollout."
Does this means all Korean units? Even if you use it europe, you should be able to enroll right?

Seems legit. You should try signing up for the beta.

Did anyone mention this about "how" to register ?
From XDA newz yesterday : https://www.xda-developers.com/lg-v30-android-oreo-preview-south-korea/
From today, LG V30 owners in South Korea will be able to get a hold of the upcoming Android Oreo update by registering via the Quick Help application. LG is launching a preview program for the V30’s Oreo update, which is essentially a public beta ahead of the official upgrade which is slated for next month.

Just install and run Quick Help. There will be a banner in the middle with Oreo word on it, just click it and follow the steps. You will need LG account.

I tried by using my old phone with Google translate and managed to go through all of it. Though it says it's not available in my country. (have the v300)
I tried using a VPN service through Korea as well. But same result. Think it's connected to the LG account, but I can't seem to create one that doesn't automatically say Sweden in the profile.

good to know they're beta testing OREO...shame it isn't open to all...double shame carrier phones are locked down.

V20 was the first to launch with 7.0. Google launched the Pixel line with 7.1 around the same time.
I'm glad that we got a very stable 7.1.2 build on the V30. The V20 was so damn glitchy and so many things just didn't work smoothly.

I can't read Korean, but I believe this is how you participate...

Hi dears,
I tried also via VPN... it is the registration page on my V30, maybe we have to make a Korean email address...

Dears, the problem is the email address... get one from daum.net

I've looked everywhere for the quick help app or access to it and searched all over Google. I already got a Korean email address. How do I access quick help?

Considering how Lenovorola was sending out a Feb patch in the same month to the G5S+, I'm betting on this coming out mid to end of March and rolling out in about twelve days to all regions (based on the Jan update rollout)

Nice. But it would be much nicer if they would roll out Oreo. I was hoping they would do that in combination with the march security patch. But it seems we'll have to wait some more time.

Honestly, I don't see what the big fuss is about Oreo. We have it already by way of custom ROMs, and it's stable enough for daily use at this point. The only issue I've seen is that certain camera functions don't work properly without the proprietary firmware, so if you want to adjust ISO or shutter speed you have to use a stock rom. That's exactly what I'm doing, btw, and I have yet to see anything 8.1 has that makes it functionally Superior to 7.0 and aside from security patches, I'm unlikely to change anything about my rom because Oreo just doesn't "wow" me.

I am of your opinion that there is no big "wow" about Oreo. But it's an update Lenovo/Motorola promised to their users and under these circumstances something one has paid for.
About custom roms: I'm a big fan of custom roms and use them on my other devices. But as there is no Oreo source for the Moto G5+ imo there are still several problems with AOSP or Lineage based roms like users losing volte, IMEI or even mobile data when returning to stock after being on 8.1 custom roms and also the roms I've tested lack of stability and features beside the mentioned camera issues.No daily driver material for me.
That would not happen if the kernel sources of stock Oreo for potter would be available and as we all know this will only happen when our devices will be upgraded. The Moto G5+ stock rom is really good in terms of battery and performance and I'm very satisfied with the rooted 7.0 stock but I won't unroot and flash stock everytime just to get a security patch. Don't get me wrong, security patches are good and important but for me it's not worth the effort against the background that a major update is about to come in foreseeable time.
And that's the point why I'm waiting for Oreo for the Moto G5+. For stable custom roms and a good reason to unroot and reflash my device.

Stable enough although not ideal. There are always a couple hacks and other shenanigans that may not deliver the complete experience. Either missing blobs or proprietary functions that some people need it.
Warranty. I did unlock my bootloader within 3 months. My G5 Plus started to act stupid, the power and volume buttons would get stuck and not press down anymore. This is not my fault. I'm no *insert stereotype here* to handle my phone as if it is some piece of brick.
Result: I bought another one, extra 800BRL.
Also, not everyone has the knowledge to flash ROMs, as easy as it may be. Some people **** up the most simple stuff, such as downloading the right zip for the right device.

Companies lie. It's a universal constant. LG lied when they said all LG G4 devices after a certain serial number were free of the bootloop solder defect. Lie. They said it wouldn't happen in future devices. Lie. HTC lied about certain phones getting Gorilla Glass... They all lie. Motorola/Lenovo didn't give an exact date, they just said it would happen for a specific list of devices. They've reiterated the list, and then started a rollout in AUS/NZ for the X4 which is on that list, so now they can say they kept their promise because they started the rollout on one of the listed devices. They're going to say the delays are because they can't, logistically, rollout to all of them simultaneously. They've still come closer to keeping the promise than any other OEM, but they're all liars about something.
And I never take anything as a personal attack unless someone says something personal about *me* in an insulting way, so we're good. You're just sharing your opinion, same as I did. There's no harm in that.

An official Oreo release helps with custom Oreo ROM stabliity.
Unofficial LineageOS 14.1 is stable enough for daily use. I've been running it the past week weeks without GAPPs just fine.

You are OT. We are talking about March security update not about how pretty is the oreo UI.
Afte rall you can choose to not update to oreo, use a lineage of Nougat. Many choices for android users, you have nothing to worry about.

I've only got the January security patch on my G5 Plus last Wednesday. You guys are already getting the March patch?

LG V30 with Android PIE 9.0

The LG V30 US998*running*Android Pie 9.0 was spotted in the GeekBench database.
https://www.mylgphones.com/unlocked-lg-v30-us998-spotted-on-geekbench-running-android-pie.html
https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/11025404
Is it with Android 9.0 from LG official or a custom AOSP Android 9.0 ROM?

Very very very very doubtful its official LG, especially because its the US variant, first all korean variants will get the update, and then, some time later the others will

We're supposed to get Pie in Q1 of 2019 according to LG.
But I wouldn't hold your breath. They certainly won't release it before that time.

Where does LG say that? They never give a timeline or date prediction that I've seen. Don't trust various sites stating when they predict LG will give Pie.
Also, first ones to get PIE we'll be Korean carrier variants -- yeah, possibly Q1 2019... But everyone else will be months after that. Will be at least Q2 for rest of us, just like Oreo earlier this year.

Just like I said -- by end of 2nd quarter for V30. I KNEW that was the plan! See here:
https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/...dule-for-south-korea-v35-and-v40-are-up-next/
Android 9 Pie started rolling out to the Korean G7 today, but other models will have to wait longer. LG's schedule says the V35 will also get Pie in Q1 2019 (which ends March 31), but the V40, V30, and V30S will have to wait until Q2 2019 (ends on June 30). The G6, V20, and Q8 are expected to receive Pie in Q3, and the Q9 and X5 will get it by the end of the year.

G7, V35 and V40 are soooooo similiar, hardware wise, software probably isnt that different either...
You can use the V40 vendor partition on a G7... (just camera and so will have problems)
How do they manage to get there such delays... I surely wonder what they "engineers" there are doing all day long...

G7, V35 and V40 are soooooo similiar, hardware wise, software probably isnt that different either...
You can use the V40 vendor partition on a G7... (just camera and so will have problems)

Marketing? Why rush to update the "old" models when you are struggling to sell the new ones.
Or was that a rhetorical question?

probably 1 or 2 engineers and few college interns doing all the update work

It's about time LG should realise that just stamping out new phones with 10 different variants isn't gonna do anything for them. With the G8 coming out soon I doubt the V30 will even be getting any security updates after the pie rollout. No cutting edge hardware is any good if it's running 2 year old software. It's one thing to treat mid tier or budget devices this way but even to your flagships, that's like axing your own foot. With the 90day security update criteria to be in the so called 'android enterprise recommended' program, LG is just doing the bare minimum so that they don't lose a marketing opportunity.

But there is a specific time period (duration) they have to give those updates. "Knowledge workers" classification is 3 years. "Rugged workers" (construction use, etc) is 5 years. V30 is 3 years for updates.

Yeah but V30 was launched in sept'17 and completes it's 3 years sept'20. Since LG takes about an year to rollout the updates(pie released aug'18 and it'll positively be Q3'19 before all V30 variants receive the update) even if the next android version releases in Q3 this year I highly doubt we'll get another software upgrade release within that 3 year time frame.

Yes, Pie will be the last letter upgrade and will start arriving Q2 2019 and continue into Q3 2019. Security updates will continue for at least a full year after that.
However, I was referring to this comment:

Security updates will continue to Q3 2020 and possibly Q2 2021 -- depending on definition of the starting line. Oreo was needed to even be in the Enterprise Recommended program, and we didn't get Oreo and the 90-day updates until Q2 2018.

The V30 will be the first and last LG smart phone I will buy. I'll stick to Google or Samsung next go. But no more LG. Lucky to get one major android update.

We will get two major Android updates. We already got Oreo and will get Pie.

I'll take this reasonably priced phone I can actually unlock/root before I ever consider a Samsuck again!

Anyone got pie update or security patch for LG H930DS?
Has anyone received a security patch update after AUG 2018 for LG H930DS? And has anyone received the pie update? and when do you guys think we will get it? For the H930DS Indian Version..

LG G7 EU Version will recieve the Pie update ?

Hi
Do you think that the lg g7 will receive the pie update for the eu ?
Thank you

Makes you wonder, feels like the G7 is abandonware now that the G8 is out. Even security patches are absent. But the answer is simple, no more LG, ever.

But they said that they will makes an update that's right ?

And in Korea they have the update

In Korea they have the update, so I guess they already did their promise. The rest of the world is a small place in LG eyes.

Crap, Some forum say that the update was supposed to happen by the end of april.
We will see but I hope so.
Do you know some bugless and good pie rom for the LG G7 ?

Some of the branded models in eu got a update with April patch only. So likely no pie on his way. I try to hold out this year and I go back to sony or oneplus. I wanted to last for sure 2 years with this phone but not on this way. Some thing still not even fixed. Now even other flag ship support wide angle camera it's easy to leave lg.

Yes, pretty easy but it's actually a good phone...
I can't believe that lg just give up about an update for a high-end 2018 smartphone

They even move the production to Vietnam to reduce cost. That's how bad lg do. The g8 got tripple camera in Korea and dual in europe. Can't name any other brand who works like lg. Who ever upgrade is not aware of the money you trow away because if you want to get rid of it its lower than half price worth. Good device but what a shame

I hope that will work

Obviously we have poor chance to get this update.
LG Benelux said "we doesn't know when and if a update is on the way for the EU version of lg g7"
?

Since the Kernal sources for Pie for EU versions are already out.. It won't take too long to be rolled out as OTA .. May be this week itself..
http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=LMG710EM

When was it released? ?

Next update should be to the Last May. But what we get whos know. (Last update was in March + 2 months.)

Does sources were published sometime at the end of March, or beginning of April if I'm not mistaken I had them on my computer for awhile now...
I'll never buy an LG smartphone ever again

Why would they write source code just for fun? it will arrive

Official response from LG Spain. They say that the update for the LG G710EM will come in June but they are not 100% because it depends on the software update center in Korea. So the real problem is the LG center update in Korea.

Well at least lg is the second last behind htc to update 9.0 after any other company updated there flagships. What I read about other phones that have software issues like oneplus 7 pro I must say I don't even want to trade this phone because the G7 still great for what it is and reliable to me. LG could be the best in the market if they put some effort in it.
