LG G4 Updates?

Hi
I've got the EU variant of the G4, I am on the latest MM firmware, now am pretty sure we'll get N sometime in the future. But back to MM, I have not received a single update since buying the phone (I have had it for a few months), the security patch is of January 2016 (didn't LG say they will update flagships to the latest patch often? ). There are a few issues e.g. stuttery multitasking. Any other regions got any updates? I believe the US carriers ones at least got security patches. What are your experiences like?

I have not revived an update either, i just flash the Android kdz files to get the latest version

Same here , never heard if LG rolled out any security patch in EU and Asia region after January . and i am pretty sure next one will be rolled out with N update.

Try LG Bridge. Are you on carrier unlocked H815 version? I received June security patch more than a month ago.

Yeah it is a bit stupid, I remember back when stage fright was in the news they said they'd make these security updates a priority-looks like that went out the window. :silly: I mean not even a patch update has been pushed out, the UI and multi tasking could be smoother + they could fix the new quadrooter security risk.

I also have unlocked bootloader H815 rooted - I agree that we need some fresh updates, especially for quadrooter, however, you should not be experiencing "the UI and multi tasking could be smoother" - I cannot imagine how my phone's UI or multitasking could be any smoother, it is the smoothest of any phone in the world - try adding AdAway and Trimmer and wipe all your caches in TWRP

I contacted LG Spain and their answer was that they don't know when will be another update. Their nonsensical excuse was that they have to test Google patches.
Last LG for me, if they can't even abide to their promises I don't trust them.

I have previously owned vanilla Android devices which out perform these third party manufacturer devices no doubt (LG G4 included), the only downside to vanilla android is the lack of features/themes, it is just plain boring. I have choppy performance when switching apps and navigating the UI-it doesn't feel as smooth as it should be for a flagship.

They've had plenty of time to test patches, other manufacturers have updated their devices to much newer patches.

We need to get to the bottom of what is fouling up your G4 performance - I have owned every Android flagship (I sell phones) including every Nexus flagship and there is no phone that is smoother or faster when switching apps and navigating the UI than a properly set up LG g4 H815 bootloader unlocked and rooted under MM.

Wow really? I previously had the OnePlus X which outperformed my G4 in every way. I am not saying the G4's software is slow, but it is definitely slower than vanilla android. I am not rooted, and am on generic firmware. On average how much free RAM do you have?

Yeah, to get performance that is faster & smoother & more responsive than OnePlus X, you need to have an LG G4 bootloader unlocked, rooted, and any LG/Google bloatware removed.

Update!
Just got an update today, from version V20d to V20g. I can't see any difference apart from an update for the security patch (Jul '16) and a newer version of Google Photos preinstalled. I have only used it briefly. Though it seems minor it is an update nonetheless.

How are updates for this phone?

1. Title says it. How are updates for this phone? Phone was released in Q4 2018. How many updates did you receive so far?
2. What is The current security patch?
3. Are there any noticeable bugs? Has the auto-brightness bug been fixed?
4. Which variant do you have? Global or Chinese?
5. Does Google Pay work?

1 - Updates are ok, usually they release an update/month i could say...
2 - I'm on security patch v. 195 and i won't update to 198 for now... battery issues has been reported regarding the 198 Update...
3 - I can tell you one of the bugs i notice... the square virtual button ( from all 3 on-screen buttons ) dissapear in some apps and i have to get back to Home Screen to have it again on-screen... Auto Brightness keep activating after every restart of the phone...
4 - I have 2 Mate 20 X Units, both of them AL-00, i choose AL-00 since several people have been saying they are much more stable compared to International Version...
5 - I don't use any of the Google Services, except PlayStore and Youtube... So for me, there is no point in buying International Version of any phone, since i don't use G Voice, G Pay, G Mail, Google Search, G Assistant etc...
Cheers

I have the L29. Updates for the global versions are still abysmal but better than they used to be. Every new EMUI release fixes a few bugs but brings a few more. It almost seems like the head EMUI team are a bunch of thirteen year olds with not a lot of common sense. A few bugs that I see:
-Notifications on the Always on Display are pretty much non existent (in 2019 that's just not acceptable)
-Set the DPI (Minimum Width) setting in developer options and it resets after every reboot (stupid)
-After a reboot auto brightness turns itself back on. This should be a simple fix right?
-The whole interface needs an update as it looks like the interface from Android Honeycomb, the pulldown toggles and interface are awful in 2019. Why not just have a stock like interface with the rounded toggles?
-After an update is approved it sometimes takes weeks to get it
-Notifications that you can normally turn off in settings for some reason on EMUI they don't work or the options were just removed
The actual hardware is second to none but the phone really needs an AOSP custom ROM or Lineage. Imagine if we could run something like Pure Nexus on the 20 X? I think then it would be the perfect phone but EMUI definitely holds it back. For me the hardware is so good that I can kind of live with these annoying bugs but if they aren't fixed in the next EMUI release then this will be probably be my last Huawei device. Then I still have to hope that another manufacturer has the balls to release a device with a large screen like the 20 X.

Mate 20 X holds a monopoly in terms of 7-inch screen flagship.
Wish there was at least an Android One device with this screen size. Or from a manufacturer who doesn't block custom ROMs.
Only next large phone to look forward to is the Mi Max 4 but that's a mid-range with sub-par screen...
A 7-inch Pixel would be bomb.

A 7 inch OnePlus device would be great too.

The international version lacks updates tbh, I'm stuck on 184 still

For me those small bugs doesn't matter.
I love this phone and i dont care small updates, works great for me really.
But still strange they cant fix some minor fail... But like it a lot... Still

1- 1 update since December (.184)
2- 1 January 2019
3- I get a 'ghost' vibration/notification from time to time, still haven't figured out what causes it (app or OS). No big deal.
4- European (C432)
5- Yes

With the bezels disappearing I honestly think the world is ready for a 7.3''-7.5'' screened phone.
They should have 2 versions, a 7'' MAX and a 7.5" MAX+.

What is the C636?
Do they update it by according where you live or which version of phone you have? Like UK, Global, CH, HK and so on.

C636 is the international version, they update AL00 which is Chinese version and C636, regardless of your area.

I have the C432 (UK version, unlocked) running 9.0.0.172 (December 2018 Security Patches) and I've received no updates for the phone at all.
Checking for OTA updates and via HiSuite - both report back that the software is up to date.

Same for me in the UK too. Bought an EVR-L29 from Currys yesterday and was disappointed to find out that it didn't come with the M-Pen and flip case like a lot of other retailers in the UK do, and then it seems to be stuck on release .172 when I have been reading about .195 upgrades being available for quite some time.
I keep checking the software update and HiSuite in the hope that it will eventually trigger an update, but I am disappointed considering it was not a network branded phone.
Fingers crossed for an update soon.

EVR L29 here. The only update I had was when I first booted up the phone when I bought it over 2 months ago, but had no updates since. I'm on 172. Huawei needs to up their game, the software is so buggy compared to the Samsung's I had previously.

L29 here. Just downloaded and installed March security update along with fixes and such. Mate 20x feels more smoother
Sent from my EVR-L29 using Tapatalk

I have two EVR L29 c636 phones. Both updated to 187 a few weeks ago and then one updated to 192 last week. Why only one got the most recent update is beyond me. When I plug them into my desktop computer HiSuite says they are both running the most recent firmware.

Night mode in August update

Many sites reported that A70 just got dedicated night mode for camera, I downloaded the update but there is still none. This should be an essential feature for 400 euro phone, all my old phones had it.

Man, you have pro mode, its better than 10 night modes. We all know that those night modes dont do a lot in any phone.

Do you really need that on a 400$ phone camera? Can you stand perfectly still 2 sec, or 10?
Are you one of those guys who brings with him 7 tripods, 11 stands and a lamp to take a picture with his mid range phone?
The phone chooses the best shutter speed for the parameters you have set.
If you need those features badly, theres a magisk mode that gives you night mode, pro mode like in a flagship and bunch of other camera funcions.
Aaand theres adobe lightroom and 10000 other softwares that will help you with the pictures.
The only bad thing i find in this cameras are the lack of hardware stabilisation, everything else is expected. After all, who will buy phones for x3 the money of this one, if this one have it all?

Ok back to my original question... Can anybody with A70 tell me if he has night mode already ?

If you look in the other thread about updates you will see some have now got night mode.

I have both 7 pro and rog2 (tencent, ww rom).
Oneplus 7 pro pros :
- better screen quality, the colors are more vibrant, but lower max brightness than ROG2.
- software is better, updates in a timely manner, it's on Android10 already and in general they seem to offer much better support than Asus (remember, ROG1 is still on Android8 with no plans for any updates)
- smaller, lighter
- telephoto camera, better overall photo quality in my opinion
ROG2 pros:
- 120Hz screen offers a super smooth experience
- THAT battery
- auto brightness works
- 3.5mm headphone jack with good audio quality, also pretty good amplification
- flat screen
- notification led
- stereo speakers done right
- ultra wide lens is wider than on 7 pro (or any phone I know) at 11mm, although the quality is so-so.
Hope this helps...

Sure it can, but gcam cannot substitute OIS that rog2 lacks on both lens for example. Saying that, I admit although I installed and took a couple of photos with gcam, I'm still far from having any conclusion.
Again, the 7 pro is not a camera phone marvel, but I find it to be a little better/flexible than the rog2 in the camera department (having OIS and telephoto lens also helps). Also, OnePlus made some real steps in making the camera better via software updates since 7 pro launched. Asus on the other hand, is not known for being eager to fix things or keeping the phone up-to-date in the software department and that's what worries me most regarding rog2.

I've just got a Tencent version delivered now in the UK for me, I'm on virgin mobile (virtual network on EE) and I cannot get 4G signal, only HSPA+. My Oneplus5 gets 4G+ here and about 45mbit speeds.
My Asus ROG2 came already with WW firmware, but I'm not sure if it is just the band 20 missing that is the issue. I was expecting at least a tiny bit of 4G, but so far I've got no 4G signal at all.

I'm not sure if my phone was "warming up" but it managed to get 4G a bit later even though it was on my desk exactly at the same position when it was on HSPA for a while. I'm getting 4G+ at speed test here that was around 30-40mbits on my oneplus 5 went to 60mbit on the asus rog 2.
I'll take it out tomorrow on the road to see how it goes

I believe this 4g reception issue is only valid with the 128GB version right? 512GB version with 12GB ram should have all the 4G bands in the UK?

Yes, I believe the that one has all bands

the only band missing in the UK is band 20, 800-900mhz ish.
Not sure if the 12gb chinese version has the band 20, it is still for chinese market I guess.

General Pixel 6 and 6 Pro get out-of-cycle November update to improve the fingerprint sensor

"An update with the November security patch arrived for the majority of Pixel 6 and 6 Pro owners at the end of October. Google is now releasing updated builds for both phones, with global and Verizon variants.
Update 11/17: According to Verizon, this mid-cycle update “improves the performance of your device’s fingerprint sensor.” Early anecdotes of the 14.56MB OTA are bearing that out. However, “Check for update” does not currently trigger the download for all users."

Mine was not bad before the update, but it is certainly faster and more consistent afterwards. Also very glad to see my unlocked version on Verizon pulled the correct VZ update right away.

I got it last night and it did indeed improve the FPS.
I wish they would update the camera to use the tele lens for Portrait and to use the user-selected lens for photos regardless of conditions.

Definite improvement. Makes this phone feel like the caliber it's supposed to be.

Nope.

Seems faster!

Mine was not bad before the update, but it is certainly faster and more consistent afterwards. Also very glad to see my unlocked version on Verizon pulled the correct VZ update right away.

So your phone isn't on the global software version now? I'm on Verizon too but don't want their software version. Right now I'm on the global software. Still haven't received the update so I was curious about your situation. Thanks

I'm not really noticing a FP change but I never had problems with it to begin with.

Mine never pulled the first update so I sideloaded the VZ version. This time it pulled the VZ version.

I never had probs with the Fingerprint. But the system seems to open a bit faster.
Automatic brightness is working much better, too.

IMO the whole thing with the FPS was overblown. I never had an issue with it and it was certainly better than the one in my LG V60. I bet if Samsung had this same FPS performance, there wouldn't be any complaints.

Could someone please tell me how can I tell if my phone is locked or unlocked?

Ok. Mine was able to pull the first one by itself. Wonder what's going to happen.. I might have to side load the global version.
