H933-any news on security update or Oreo?? - LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion

So, the current Android version and security update I'm on has issues playing hdr on Netflix (everything has a brownish yellow tint). I've watched an hdr movie rental on Google Play store. Not bad, but can clearly see that it's compressed. YouTube works great. But not Netflix. Seen on many Reddit forums that the issue is resolved in the Jan security patch. Which I'm assuming they may be holding off for us Canadiens for the Oreo update.
But I cannot seem to get any solid information about if it's even planned.
Anyone else stuck with the delayed security update?

Oct 1, 2017 yes. You are not alone.

Not same phone...heard same HD issue on Netflix though. I haven't tried to replicate. But held up on the patch all the same. I have V30+

Oct? I'm on the Dec 1, 2017 security patch. Who's your carrier?

Somewhat relevant, I just received a update notice. Looks like a security patch...US998 unlocked. Perhaps they are finally making things available to North America?

Yes US received the Jan 1 security patch. It's reported to fix hdr issues. But no notice of it in Canada. Also the unlocked models are receiving oreo. Beta I think.

Tells me it can't be checked. Not sure what that's all about. All other parts of LG Bridge work just fine.

No, it's the December patch. Just got it earlier tonight, on both my open market US998 V30+ and my wife's open US998V30. I turned off my phone on my spare V30, to wait to see the update. I want to see if LG Bridge will offer to update it and maybe download KDZ.

I got this update today as well on V30+ unlocked.

But I hear it fixed the hdr. Yet I'm on the Dec 1 patch, and still have hdr issues with Netflix. Maybe because I received it before the fix mine was not included?

The very, very slow Oreo update release for the V30 (H933) is disheartening. Not like this is a surprise, but it’s still frustrating.

I thought it would be out before the end of Jan. Wait and see in 2 days time if that's true I guess.

I don't care about oreo, but considering that this is their "flagship" phone, such late security patches and updates on Canadian model H933 means this will be my first and last lg phone.

My Lg V30 T-Mobile USA is still on October patch. How disappointing.

I don't know why companies these don't just release one world wide model of the phone. It would streamline updates so much easier.

Because that would cut out the carriers and make the phones less expensive.
Google basically tried that, and so do a few other direct to consumer OEMs. But in North America, apparently people love going to their carrier stores to get ripped off. There are very few phones Sprint will accept that are not Sprint branded phones (and I'm pretty sure exceptions involve the OEMs like Motorola paying Sprint some money, somehow).
Google has to sell Pixel phones in Verizon stores to get any kind of sales traction. Verizon and T-Mobile make it hard for non-branded phones to work well with VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling.
If you could buy the phone from anywhere (and it was the exact same phone), you would buy it off eBay from Chinese dealers. But carriers want their cut. So, they make it difficult. And they want their bloatware put on.

That's not how it works up here with the 933. Non of the phones are branded. And I think at this point any phone from any carrier can be used on any other carrier. What's more is its now not legal to sell sim locked phones here.
Doing the math with the available plans, its basically either a wash or cheaper to get i from the carriers.
We don't get much if anything as far as cheaper plans are concerned if you bring your own phone.
Any of the small amounts of bloatware we get is easily disabled via the system so not a big deal.

Has anyone received the January Security Update via OTA?

So it's now January 18th and I've yet to receive the security update for January. Has anyone received it, via OTA?
Quite frankly I'm surprised that Google can be so late pushing it out given that there are probably not even 250,000 people who bought the thing.
Wouldn't surprise me if Google are holding off on it until a massive update is ready to fix/help other issues
Google will be lucky if 25,000 people bought the thing AND kept it.

not sure they care about sale numbers.
Like previous Pixel devices, it's mainly for done for internal usage, PR, aura, showcase, exploring, reference platform, etc. And to acquire knowledge on how to build such devices.
The fact that they sell it to anyone is a just a bonus for fans and tech enthusiasts.

Typically the images are posted to the developer website before any OTAs go out. No updated image has been posted (other than MXB48K, which we know isn't a January update), so I wouldn't expect any OTA.

Yeah, ik, It is weird since they did say they would be on a 6 week update cycle. Still nothing. Not a great sign, guess they are trying to work out the WiFi and touchscreen issues in the first update. They probably tough to fix

Just bought the Pixel C and it came with 6.0. I haven't been promoted to update to 6.0.1 but I'm wondering if 6.0.1 is the OTA update or if I should just flash the factory image?
Also, is then 6.0.1 update the one that moves the buttons to opposite edges?
Thanks.

Whoa you should have been prompted to update to 6.0.1 right away there's not even a 6.0 factory image.
seems this pixel c was really beyond what they promises to delivered. every 6 weeks for new update. in fact nexus brand can get update almost on time.

Same here. I had a warranty issue with my first Pixel, the replacement they sent me is also on 6.0, with no OTA to 6.0.1.
But honestly it seems to work better.
---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------
In an attempt to ask Google why my device is still on October Security Patch and no 6.0.1 Update on my warranty replacement Pixel.
So I guess I just had to wait. I avoided flashing the 6.0.1 update since I had already set up my tablet using the "Setup my device" feature through Google Now from my 6P. Last night my Pixel C was prompted to install the 6.0.1 update and updated fine. I'm unsure of what be features are added other than security, but my home and back buttons are moved to the left while recent apps button is on the right. So I guess it worked. That and the fact that under about tablet it says 6.0.1 ha-ha.
It seems to run a bit smoother now so, there's that.
I got the OTA udpate last night. I am in San Diego, CA.
Yesterday I received MXB48T OTA update on my 32GB pixel C. The inconsistent WiFi speeds issues have not been solved.

Baseband on phone is different than what TMO says it is

so i looked on TMOs site at the software update page and it shows the august update, which i took OTA before i rooted with CFAR
on my phone my baseband is M8998TMO_24.71.01.87R NUS
but TMO says it should be M8998TMO_04.17.01.76R
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-35970
is it different because of CFAR?
Their website hasn't been updated. They didn't match up since the release of the phone.

They even said it doesn't support T-Mobile video calling but it does and also has duo preinstalled. You can test it out. Throw it in airplane mode and turn on wifi. You can't place a video call unless you use the duo app. If you turn cellular back on you can use the dialer built in one.

Yup, this is my 3rd Z2 Force. The other ones had an update, I just didn't remember the details.
This one I have had since October 3rd, got it from a physical corporate T-Mobile store, no updates since I have had it.
I even tried swapping the SIM card hoping it would Kickstart something
Is anyone still on the initial release build with the baseband listed on tmo's website? [M8998TMO_04.17.01.76R]
If so, could you boot into fastboot mode and do "fastboot getvar all" from terminal?
I'd like the "ro.build.version.full" value so I can try to find the first OTA to NCX26.122-49.
I'm still stuck on the June 1, 2017 security patch. T-Mobile Z2 Force, have been using the phone for almost a month. No update.

If you at the source of the update file it belonged to Lenovo. Also with the amount of people who have troubles with texts and notifications Motorola could have pull it themselves.
Sprint version firmware is different than T-Mobiles and isn't a good gauge. It's not like the whole 6P thing going on.

Yes, version is different, but the only logical explanation is either Lenovo or Tmo pulled the update since other models are updating fine and users were getting the update until recently, but other phones are still able to update to August and September security updates.

They have to let all the carriers fleece the customers first.
That means it probably won't be put on the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list until well into December, maybe end of December?
http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0703
I've posted that link several times. They won't add the LG V30 to that list until after the carrier unlocked versions are released. With the LG G6, was six weeks after the North America carrier unlocked version US997 was released. (May 12-June 29). But right after that, BOOM. Root, TWRP, ROMs.
What a load of crap! Then LG wonders why their mobile department is constantly hemorrhaging money. Lets announce a phone in August and not let people buy it until basically December! Its genius, by the time people can buy it other companies will be announcing their new phone and will overshadow our current offerings, how can it fail?
Figures I leave the country on the 29th. I pray that changes. Love the phone but I have to have an unlocked version
I do hope that the date is just a CYA and it's available sooner. Still, that amount would be the most I've ever paid for a phone and I'm tempted to wait until a sale. Interesting that this date is past both Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
Dang. End of November? I may buy an essential to play around with until then. That's not unlocked boot loader yet though. ?
Seems like its December 5th now. Oct 27th to Nov 28th to December 5th RIP. Guess I'm getting an H933, already was phoneless for 2 months waiting for this after my V10 broke.

As long as you make sure on Swappa it's the "right" US998 (NOT U.S.Cellular).
FYI: When the LG G6 official carrier unlocked US997 came our, Amazon was selling it for $50 less than B&H.
So, if it's December 5th, I wonder when the official bootloader unlock will come.

Click to expand...

LG releases flagship variants for the "open market", a.k.a. official carrier unlocked versions (SIM card unlocked) which are not sold by carriers and have most all the bands of the carriers.
Furthermore, these open market phones are then placed of the bootloader unlock eligibility list on the LG Developer website. You can request a code to unlock the bootloader of those phones.
There's usually a delay of several weeks between release of the carrier models and the official carrier unlocked versions, to let the carriers fleece their customers. Then there's an additional delay of several weeks before these "open market" models added to the LG bootloader unlock list. No one knows why.
For the V30, will be the US998 (North America) and the H930 (Europe). Yes, U.S.Cellular also sells a US998, but not their model. The one not sold by them.
Is that what you're asking?
Or are you asking if the firmware from those phones can be flashed over a carrier-branded LG V30?

That's $260, for a LG V30+ that can be unlocked and rooted to run on any carrier.
This is valid for US, CA, and South American customers. This is an absolute steal. I got mine and thought I'd share this w/ other xdaers.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-V30-LS998-128GB-Titan-Black-Sprint-Smartphone-A-Mint-/173250399580
Would be $267 after discount.
Damn. Should have bought the mint. Gonna see if I can email the seller before it ships.
seller quickly responded to my request to pay the difference of a mint with
"There isn't much of a difference between the two"
Guess I'll stick w/ what I have based on that. But I would def recommend grabbing the mint since it's only $7 more.
Since the bootloader is likely to be patched sooner than later, this is the deal to jump on. $268 shipped.
Code is only good for 1 order, so make it count.

Searching right now, they seem to be sold out of both the "mint" and "9/10" LS998 V30+. Yesterday was a VERY good deal.
I paid 247 for the 7-10 condition on the sale day. As long as the screen is not scratched I will be happy.

That's kind of a bad dice roll man, because if the phone was used with a case, the screen is what scratches first.
My buddy just received his.....with the May security patch!!! Back it goes.
Of the two I bought recently my "mint" LS998 V330+ is truly flawless, while my 9/10 LS998 V30+ has a drop ding just north of the volume buttons. Otherwise flawless. With a case (which is necessary with these phones), that ding won't be seen. I must say the seller was honest in grading those two at least.

Does the May security patch prevent the conversion/bootloader unlock? I thought it was the June security patch that has that.

Did you test it to see if the patch really does block us on this?
Even if some of these can't be unlocked I'll bet you can get a better price just reselling it as is.

I won't be able to till this weekend. I'm thinking maybe we could just roll back the firmware?

How can they block the bootloader unlock if you can still flash US998 firmware? Does download mode still work?

We don't know where he gets them from. Hopefully it's a fluke.

nope, not fixed :/
Update available for me. Anyone noticed a difference in battery life? Really happy with the battery I have now. On the Pixel 7 Pro, it varied widely between great to terrible depending on what update you were on.

Yes any updates on battery life or VPN issues on the Fold 4 would be greatly appreciated.
I've held off on updating for a few months now.
Thanks!
I decided to update anyway. Will post an update on battery life in a couple of days.
Updated in the morning to June patch (EUX). VPN works, battery life much better than May update, at least so far.

Thanks a lot for your reply!
Glad to hear that VPN works! By any chance are you using OpenVPN?
Glad to hear that battery life is better too! Please report back any further battery observations.
Thanks!

To be clear, with this update the phone also lags a lot less for me. I was about to switch to S23U because of unbearable lag with May update. VPN worked with May update for me too, so no change here.

I hadn't heard that the Fold 4, May update had lag issues at all. Wow, thanks for sharing. Was it noticeable only when you were pushing the phone hard, or could it be noticed with everyday, normal use as well?
Would you say the June update has resolved the lag issue, or is it still noticeable?
Thanks!
It was all over the place, I barely ever game (and then, 5 year-old titles). Mostly work with browser and documents. Looks removed to me now. Like new

According to this post on Samsung's forums this doesn't impact all devices, the poster guesses it only affects buds. What type of buds/headphones/Bluetooth receiver are you using?
I'm still on the February patch since I didn't dare to update yet since this issue would strongly impact my routine..
T-mobile here, not received June patch yet.......however, the one for May has caused my battery life to drain and the device hot off and on since the update.

I've got the Buds 2 pro powerboats pro buds live Sony wf1000xm4 Sennheiser momentum 2 and the BTR7 every true wireless earbud has the issue with absolute volume the btr7 is fine though.
I give up on Bluetooth until they fix it I bought a
HiBy FC1 portable dac for £30 it does the job bit of a pain using wired headphones but at least I can use my EQS with power amp in the car with the AUX and with my IEMS.
I did ask CS about it and they said they would look into it. The Samsung repair centre I left my z flip 4 in to get the screen fixed looked at it and did say yes that looks like a bug he had a fold 3 on the May update using the buds 2 pro it was working fine for him

Well, that really doesn't sound encouraging. I have Momentum 3 over ears, but also occasionally use the Galaxy Buds 2 (non-Pro). Seems like I'll stay on Feb patch for a bit longer..
