Clearly their resolve crumbled in the face of me boycotting them! [emoji28]
Seriously, this was sorely needed. I had sworn off buying another LG in large part because of the lack of updates to the locked Canadian models. I would still like to see them allow bootloader unlocking of all variants, but if timely security patches start coming, I would consider them again for my next device. Good move LG [emoji106]

Well... we are almost to mid April and still no update for the US998.

Seconded, we've all heard the same crap from various oem's before and none of it has been true, so I'll take this with a healthy dose of scepticism till events prove otherwise.
Read this on a couple sites yesterday and almost died of laughter!
I should have learned from the V20, but I guess I'm a slow learner. Can't wait to dump LG for good when the Pixel 3 XL comes out.
Don't hopeful. Until now, H930 and H930DS user still unknow what time they receive update Oreo.

Nothings changed. This is pr talk. "Lets get some news coverage and tell people we really changed"
If you're a global smartphone manufacturer and still dont have a team working on updates in 2018, you're seriously doing it wrong.
My V30+ came with Oreo.

No, because this phone didn't launch with Oreo last year. Everyone needs to forget Treble for this phone.
Treble wouldn't have any benefit anyway for him. His bootloader locked phone would still be bootloader locked. Treble is not the magic elixir to allow dev work on phones.
Treble iks to theoretically give faster updates.
For dev work, Treble only helps devs on phones that already have bootloader unlock and have methods to flash root .

I am trying to get hotspot working on Oreo.
Didn't get a chance to add apn under N so the menu is hidden. I can reset apn and see the menu for a split second so I know it is in there.
Any idea how to get it?

Yeah, I heard about this Sprint APN lockout on Oreo. It's Sprint's attempt to carrier lock down the phone even more. For editing the APN, do any of the hidden menu app still work on the Sprint phone?
See this post for the Sprint LG G4:

Change apn in hidden menu. No root needed
TheMadScientist said:
Go over to the gsm unlock thread. Download the hidden call menu apk. Go to the iot settings near bottom. Then LTE settings. And APN. Here u can add edit and select your apn. Cannot be done in stock settings app or reg## menus without msl. This allows for no root and no msl. Editing. Lol. About damn time we figured this out

I'm not sure which thread he's talking about, but there are several hidden menu apps on Google Play.

Today (14th of April) will be the 92nd day since last update for the TIM H930G (same for H930 and H930DS variants).
Remember when LG announced that their amazing phone is Android Enterprise certified, that there will be 90 days between each update in worst case scenario? Oreo update in Q1 2018 ?
This is my first and last LG phone and I'm already thinking about ditching it. I'd rather flash custom ROMs but they're locking their phones like no other manufacturer.

It's L1 is that the right one
Yeah. Can also confirm L1 is working as of the latest update.
I have the update and 'widevine' is now indeed L1 but Netflix is still L3. If you go into Netflix, More, App Settings, About - you will see some device info and under ESN there is a load of stuff and it contains 'L3' - am I reading this right to indicate that Netflix is still blocked from HD content?
How do I check in Netflix as to what content I am playing ?
so now the Chinese version is also L1?
If so, what are the pros of the global version?

It is L1 but Netflix is still blocked from what I can tell
Hey all,
Got my brand new Mate 20 X yesterday with an immediate update to fix Netflix (Widevine L3), after the update DRM Info showed widevine was L1, Netflix was showing in HD. But this morning when I woke up my device looked like it restarted due to another update overnight to fix the camera filters/AI issues or something. Checking Netflix now there is no longer a HD logo next to any of the HD series and Widevine has now been reverted back to L3. Can anyone help me with this please! My model is the L29 6/128GB purchased from WondaMobile

Sounds like what I had.
Search on Netflix for "Test Patterns", pick any episode, pinch the screen so it shows ALL of the picture and at the top right you'll see the real resolution.
When I had the problem it was something like 950 x 540.
The fix for me was quite straight forward, just clear cache and data, run Netflix, sign in again and it was fine.

Got this too on my AL00. Was interested in the 'Instant Projection' feature but can't see any settings or other options regarding this. Phone still has 'Easy Projection' but I was expecting to see something new.
Does your phone show anything new on this? Have you used this feature yourself?

Saludos.
is not right. OriginOS supports multiple languages. German, too. There are problems at the beginning with the notifications but these can be solved quickly. The only thing that doesn't work is Google Backup, Google Assistant and Google Maps Timeline.

TradingShenzhen or WondaMobile?
which one is best?
depends on where you live.
But actually it doesn't matter. Trading is also very fast and no customs are added.
I'm in the US. still debating between the 2. I suppose I will go for the cheapest if both are identical in terms of services
