New OTA BOH4 Firmware Just Arrived

Just received a firmware update via OTA (about device>Software update)
This new version is: G928TUVU1BOH4 .
I just checked the Note 5 N920T and it also got the same BOH4 OTA update.
Just cannot understand why we still have no root or twrp even though our
firmwares are just about identical to the N920T Note 5.
I wonder if anyone even tried to flash the modified TWRP in the Note 5 N920T
forum which works on the Note 5?
Oh well, I guess I will just have to patiently wait and perhaps by Christmas there
will be a compatible root procedure and twrp for my G928T S6 Edge+.
Good luck,
Have a great day everyone!

Just an FYI this is a relatively small update, 112 mb. Brings us video calling from within the default dialer. Looks to only be compatible with others that have the same update, so I guess just s6 edge + and note 5 for now at least that's what TMO eluded to in a tweet.

And here's a link to the official TMO statement regarding video calling.

I got the phone last Thursday and had advanced messaging out of the box. Looks like this update was just for native video calls.

I never checked to see since I assumed it would need a update to activate like the s6 and s6 edge. Good deal now I just need the note 4 to get it so I can use advanced messaging with my wife lol

Me and the wife got the edge+ so it works with us. Also the OnCircle works too and it's pretty neat. I like how I can see when she's typing or read my message.

I just got the update too. Hopefully it fixes my battery life while on idle. For some reason since i purchased this phone "Android System" and the "Radio" would eat up my battery while on idle. My note 4 and Note 3 never had this issue.

not at all. but i did notice that 450 is small and when i do 460,470. it doesnt become smaller. it actually gets bigger. so i believe the dpi is limited to 450 or something closer to. now everything looks shaper, better and u can see more in the screen.
right now im on 470 which for me 450 was to small.
i believe 470 should be around (430 real dpi). not sure why dpi is working this way at least is working.

I have successfully changed my DPI to 470. I just checked out a youtube video afterwards and noticed black bars on the sides when in full screen. I do not remember if these bars were there prior to changing my DPI. Does anyone know if the black bars are there by default due to the aspect ratio?

I changed my DPI to 450, and it looks good, perhaps just a wee bit tiny. What's the stock DPI, so I can play around and find some middle ground?

switch to 470 or 480. it will make things a little bigger. not sure why dpi is working this way. if u want to reset it to stock. just go into display size and move the slider

Lower amount=smaller text etc. It always worked this way. Other way to reset is to send command with argument reset(adb shell wm density reset)

Right now, only carrier branded versions released. Official carrier unlocked versions US998 (North America) and H930 (Europe) will reportedly be released end of October. Sometime after that will be placed on LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list.

What are your settings / changes for stock 6.0

I just purchased the LG G4 H812 (in Canada) and I love it! I found that there was a few things that I changed right away and would love to hear what you have done to make this phone even better!
Here are a few things I have done so far;
Disabled a bunch of unneeded apps
Disabled Dual Window
Disabled QuickCircle case
Disabled sound on keypress
Turn Off Mobile Data (unless no wifi - while driving etc)
Installed Launcher <3
Turned off Smart Bulletin
Turned off NFC
Use Smart Unlock (Face and On-Body)
Increased vibration strength
Enabled Voice Clarity when not using voip
Installed V10 Camera Mod apk
Installed SystemUI Tuner (ADB permissions)
Disabled "ok Google" detection from any screen
I have been getting great battery life on this phone too! This is lots of web browsing, youtube, using the camera, small amount of gaming and lots of reading on the XDA app
Cheers!

And depending on model it's very risky to brick the device!

Added SystemUI Tuner to get immersive mode. Had to do some ADB commands to break my device's virginity. ?

Disabled the "ok Google" detection from any screen. I think this helped with scrolling jittery lagging in some apps.

Using the built in cleaning app has helped too. I run it about once a week or after installing/removing a bunch of apps.
Now I don't swipe away my frequently used apps from the recent apps button/screen and that really speeds up launching the apps I use often.

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]

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.

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 .

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.

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?

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.

Just Got My Red Magic 5 - Software Limitations

This is the Global version that just came out a couple of days ago. Some minor annoyances that was hoping to get some help on:
1. There seems to be no way to display the battery percentage.
Does anyone know of a system app that I need to disable to get this to work? None of the solutions online work with the Red Magic 5G overlay with Android 10, and I don't want to install a third party widget to get this done.
2. As far as I know, I can't customize the lock screen outside of a wallpaper.
Just shows a general date and time but I would like to put widgets or additional information if possible. If anyone has any insight let me know.
I know the phone just came out, but these two issues are EXTREMELY annoying. I honestly might have to flash this when a method becomes available because I'm definitely not liking the lack of customization Nubia has put on with their Android 10 overlay.

May i ask of yours is passing safety net?

Regarding #1, you are screwed. I've seen this mentioned a few times on different YouTube reviews. Regarding #2, you are correct. But even more surprising and ridiculous is #3, which I'll add here. It appears Nubia is forcing you to use the stock launcher! Yes, that's right, it's currently IMPOSSIBLE to use ANY launcher other than the one that comes out of the box. Nubia has said that this is INTENTIONAL! CRAZY!

I have battery percentage on mine.
Settings > power management > electricity percentage.

There is no settings > power management

Yeah same don't have those options.

Also can't figure out how to access APN settings

I've read that the only way to see % battery is to activate AOD, and the % will be displayed.
Best regards.

You have the latest firmware. My god the launcher is so buggy and bad. They really should let you use whichever launcher you want. Also no setting to change screen dpi or size and it doesn't even have the android 10 notifications. You can't expand or delete or reply from notification drawer. This is really really poor

What versions does everyone have.
I am NX659J_ENCommon_V4.05
Pulse version of phone.
I have no power management options.
I can reply in line to notification in the notification tray.
How is your Wifi speed? I have tried mine on 2Ghz and 5Ghz and I only get about 30MB down, whereas my Honor View 20 gets 100MB.
Launcher is fine once you have it all setup, but kept saying shortcut already exists. If you rebooted you see they are there.
Now I have it all as want it, thats not really an issue now, but not a great setup experience.

That's so weird no updates available for mine also

Battery Meter Overlay was the only app that I found to be able to show the battery % (choose the "Overlap the Statusbar" option). You have to buy the paid version if you want to hide it in full screen mode. It is not perfect, but it is better than nothing. You can choose from different kind of themes and change the colours, scale and position so it is pretty customizable
I already new about Nubia blocking the use of custom launchers (saw a review where it was mentioned) before buying the phone and wrote them about it and asked them to revert this bad decision (and I also told them to fix the missing battery %). I hope you all write them about it as well, so they know that they have to fix these issues. And if they don't allow the use of custom launchers they have to give us a better stock launcher with much better customizability.

Do different models have different firmware?
Have they ever pushed an update in previous versions?

Anyone getting poor WiFi speeds?
Mine is just about 30mb down on 5ghz WiFi when my other phone pushes 100mb.
