Yes, I know some LG V30 variants have not received updates in months -- like H930DS and US998.
Yes, I know we probably won't get Pie until middle of 2019.
Just reporting the news from LG.
Thanks for the news.
Sadly for us about the Pie Update.
Looks like G7 is getting Pie as of new years? https://9to5google.com/2018/12/31/lg-g7-thinq-android-pie/

NO.
Will begin in the first quarter of 2019. Which means it has to BEGIN by the end of March 2019. Even then will be Korean carrier variants first.
Yes, technically January 1 is start of Q1 2019, but there's no way a corporation is rolling out an update on January 1, when most support personnel are off work.
All LG statement says is they will begin rolling out Pie (to Korean carrier variants) SOMETIME during January 1 - March 31, 2019.
When a company says that, always bet towards the end of the time period. 1Q = could be end of March. 1H = usually end of June. Etc. That's how corporations speak in press releases. If they wanted to be more specific, they would have said JANUARY, not Q1.
Agreed, deeper reading (man that article is totally wrong and miseleading!) shows that the upgrade is "planned" for 2019. Not sure where TFA got the incorrect info from, wtf.
I wasn't expecting a rollout today, either... but companies do strange things sometimes.
Anyone else having trouble with whate seems like hardcoded screen-timeout for the lock-screen ?
Even it there is user-interaction (clicking/scrolling thru notifications) it always turns off after a couple of seconds ... frigging annoying
.. .fixed.. my bad.. i had Glimpse installed . . and set the timeout at 10sec for lockscreen to override default always ... even if the lockscreen did not get activated by Glimpse...
Where is smart-stay gone? i guess it was still implemented in Android 7?
Always-On Display randomizes the postion of the content only every time it restarts ... but once it is on it looks like it (notification/watch) stays the same position .. this is not optimal it should change position every few minutes ... no matter what the brightness is set
>> update: actually it moves 1px to the side every other minute or so (put some stick-it-notes on the screen then wait long enough) ...not sure if it moves back-and-forth .. if you have a full battery there are still a lot of white px which might get overused
Also i dont like the way fingerprint-unlock works: you dont even have to physically press the button FIRST .. often it gets your fingerprint while handling the device and then unlocks the device ... on the V10 you always have to press the button first .. THEN it scanned the finger and on hit it unlocked ...
lots of BS if you ask me .. dunno if google or lg is to blamme ...

It's good that just touching the sensor unlocks the phone just like it is on almost all phones nowadays. The trade off is worth it.
there is always a tradeoff between Convenience and Security .. i'd prefer to have physically PRESS the button first .. not just getting near it ...
but it helps that volume-buttons are now on the sides instead of around the FP/Button

Yeah, the writer is either totally ignorant of corporate PR speak ("Q1" never means the beginning of the quarter, especially the first day) or he willfully misinterpreted for click-bait. When Microsoft would say "H1" (first half) of next year, it was always the last week in June. They would never say "June, but practically July" -- they would say H1 on purpose, because technically it could be January of 20xx (so it wouldn't sound so far away). But it never was.
sadly i think i will sell my v30 and buy a new mi8. LG is just **** with updates. since april when i bought my v30, i got only 2 or 3 security updates besides the oreo update. and now only the g7, and only in korea, will see android 9 somewhere in q1, as for the rest of the handsets, god knows if and when. unacceptable totally unacceptable, mi8 has already android 9 and a few other updates, 2 or 3.lg could learn something from xiaomi.
The only i want on pie is the nav gesture

I recently got the a520f after a few years with the iPhone. I was happy enough but then released there is 2 roms, 1 in alpha and another which is abandoned then noticed the updates from Samsung are sparse at best.
I'm unlocked in UK and stuck on 6.0.1, they "used" to say unlocked got updates first, noticed the way I said "used to" because carriers seem to be releasing 7.0 before unlocked, and while on the point 7.0 at this stage when Oreo will soon be released, even bringing the phone out with 7.0 would have been slow when 7.1 was available.
I am thinking I have made the wrong decision with the a520, Samsung are slow with updates anyway yes but the a520 seems to be at the bottom of Samsungs list of priorities. Last years a510 even has 7 for a while now.
hi !
Yes ,all people here want updates with another android version but i think that the most important thing is to enjoy with this phone :
it's a device with MM6 have enought power for to play game , it have the best super amoled screen ,it have a fabulous battery life ! , a fingerprints and "near" 20 differents sensors ,he have a good modem and hardware for 4G , this MM + sansung adds have all useful functions and parameters ....and the middle economic mode is impressive for the battery life...
The phone is receiving updates slowly cause the phone has owners all around the world, it's probably to make sure that OTA servers are not overloaded. Imagine what would happen if they released it at the same time for the whole world, the servers couldn't deliver acceptable speeds. That's just my guess though.
Nah, Samsung kinda sucks. I mean they couldnt make a proper working fingerprint sensor on stock MM, had to install nougat for the bloody thing to work.

How does Apple cope then?
That's Samsung decision to release update or not, as user we can wait for it or complaints to Samsung
Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk
It has nothing to do with "the server not able to cope" or anything. There are a few reasons building up to the devices being in literally the bottom of the pile as you put it:
1) Samsung has heavily skinned Android with a lot of added features, which all take a while to port to a new verison.
2) Costs of development, Q/A testing and everything else that needs to be done before the update gets released public (not doing the update obviously means a lot of saved money)
3) Most people don't care about updates or are even annoyed by them and think they are something evil. That's excluding heavy updates to a new version which slow down the phone by a large margin with features you could have lived without (Apple are doing this), those updates really are evil. Due to the lack of updates though, this rarely happens on Android in all fairness.
4) It's a mid range price device
5) Samsung's policy of not wanting to update the phones too much anyway so the user buys a new one
The phone is probably going to be updated to 7.0 within the next month or two. I doubt extremely it will get updated to 8.0.
This is unacceptable for a phone that has come out for 2017, to not got an update of an OS to a version that is released in 2017 just a little over an year later. We should definetly not put up with it and complain to Samsung however, not on XDA.
We should make sure OEM's take note that we want our phones updated to new Android versions fast for at least a few years, just like iOS devices. And on top of complaining, we should vote with our wallets also. That gets the chain moving.

That is tackled in another way. Your phone randomly receive updates in batch.
Yes you can get an update if you manually go into settings and download updates.
But again it is automatically provided in random batches.
Samsung is late at updates because they have a large number of models.
Not like Iphone that only support 3 models of past I think.
Samsung also needs to provide stable updates which take a lot of testing.
Again it depends on your country and provider when the start rolling updates.
By the way A5 got certified for oreo.

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.

The tech support usually, even if they would have the information (which by far isnt always the case, who would give some confidential information to basically the lowest people in the hirachy?), not allowed to tell that anyone.

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...

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.

Yeah, and yet the Telstra model was updated last month.
I contacted Samsung, same song and dance about "don't know when your device will be updated"...
I thought it was google policy that the current devices were to be updated with security updates ASAP. My security policy is dated December 2018.
Considering this device is out there as a business device this is a major lapse in security as the vulnerabilities haven't been patched on what could, essentially be, a business device. Even if it's not being used by a business, I tend to use this device as a laptop replacement... A lot of personal data can be stored on here and not as secure as my phone...
Considering Samsung is a major player in the smartphone industry, this lapse is unforgivable, my S8 has just been updated to June security update and I don't have half the sensitive stuff I store on my tablet...
Shame on Samsung....

If you want to update your tablet, first of all backup all the data in your tablet and then follow this guide to update it with the most up-to-date firmware:

You can check Samsung's official firmware update list, but they don't provide any new information. As you can see, Samsung only provide two types of updates - security and patch fixes and major UI changes. http://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-T835/XEF/doc.html

The SF4 update have many UI scaling issues, especially in the quick settings toggles (missing first row, missing auto brightness slider in landscape mode), I am flashing the new update (SG1) now via Odin and report back
For example
Dirty flashed the update (using Home CSC) without wiping anything
After reboot I got Samsung Experience Services force stop, updated it from Google Play Store and it is working fine now
Auto brightness slider is now showing properly in landscape, no missing toggles, July Security Patch Update
This is what I found now
They just pushed the Australian update about a week ago, it's now on the May security patch...
At least that's better than the 6 month old security patch they gave before but for a premium flagship this is still unacceptable...
People here know how to use ODIN and flash firmware but for the everyday consumer this is something over their heads...
I know that people will argue that this is an easy fix by coming here or doing a google search but seriously, think back to the 1st time you flashed your device. It as a scary thing knowing (or being blissfully unaware) that you could destroy your shiny new toy. Not to mention the amount of people who know how to use their phone but have NO idea how to do anything on the PC other than browse facebook and send emails...
When we buy our devices we buy the security that the OEM will push out updates to protect our lovely devices and when I pay out a small fortune I sorta expect that this will be the case. Especially when it is retailed as a business device.
Security is all...
You buy a cheap $100 tablet from some Chinese company no-one has never heard of you don't expect much more than the device starts up and works...
You buy from a well established company that has a HUGE presence in the market you are buying the security of having the best and latest.
For some markets this is not happening and that is disgraceful...

Totally agree, it is silly that Samsung pushing only quarterly security patch updates for their tablets
I have a question about these updates.
My last tablet was the Note 12.2. At that time it was awful if the tablet updated, it broke root and you couldn't get it back. So I'm paranoid about letting anything update. However I let that one sit since 2015 because it crashed I didn't have backup and wanted to someday recover newborn baby hospital pics and first Christmas pics. I've been without a tablet since.
I Get here to research the S4, the last with headphone jack tablet and it seems like you have to update to root. Is this right? I also swear I read that pie breaks a couple of programs on the s4, but I can't find the thread now.
Can someone clue me in since I appear to have fallen off the SOTA curve. Thank you for your help.
Hi all, today I got latest update with November security update. A nice feature has been added: smart view now allows resizing to destination screen ratio.
Did you find anything else?
Inviato dal mio SM-T830 utilizzando Tapatalk
What are the limitations of pie over Oreo? Is there a reason not to update?
Just recieved the Update in Germany. All data was deleted!
So Backup your data before installing.
I received the update a few days ago, and since then my tablet doesn't want to fast charge. Anybody has a similar problem?
Not here. I'm on Android 9 (pie) with Nov. 1 security update. I didn't notice any issues. First time I have ever seen Samsung get out a timely security update, it was only a couple of weeks after my Pixel (which is on Android 10).
Is there Samsung or 3rd party fix for fingerprint scanner for Note 10+? I'm not even using screen protector, and that thing is accurate 50% of the time at best. Half the time it just exceeds 5 attempts and forces me to use password/pin. By far and away, the worst fingerprint scanner I've seen on any fingerprint enabled phones I've owned.
Do you have all the latest software in Samsung Members app and on the phone done? Mine works 10x better then it did on the S10+
When the time you have trouble scanning your finger, log in ur phone with password, then immediately create another set of fingerprint with the same finger. Ur successful rate will increase

Rather than trying workarounds, I'm asking about the actual Samsung official patch/fix, which rumored to have been released for this issue. Articles like this one make me believe it exists and it's only a matter of finding and installing/flashing it.
For starters, the fingerprint scanner works fine since device release, now, the so called ffix is intended to prevent a potential security issue, appearing in some devices when people used silicone screen protectors, and NOT becase the fp scanner was inaccurate or such, and finally, the patch is available when carriers decide to issue it, in my case, the patch became available about 3 or 4 days ago, and it brings along the Nov security patch and some camera improvements

Don't really understand the point/purpose of your comment "the fingerprint scanner works fine since device release" - it clearly doesn't work anywhere near what could be described as "fine" for me, and it should be fairly obvious from my post. That's why this thread was opened in the first place. It may be working fine *for you*, on your specific model of Note 10+ and your specific firmware/kernel/patch level, but what's the point of bringing up what works on your phone? I'm not trying to resolve issues with *your* device in this thread...
You're also making a lot of assumptions in your post, which are incorrect in my case. I'm not using my carrier's device - I'm using device from another country, which has not only different firmware than the one my carrier's Note 10+ has, but also different hardware. My carrier's Note 10+ is Snapdragon version and I'm using Exynos Note 10+. On top of that, my device is rooted, so even if I were using my carrier's phone model and firmware - I would still not get carrier's software updates via OTA because of root. For all of the above reasons, software updates, released by my carrier for their own version of Note 10+ have no connection or relevancy to me.
You are also incorrect in your assertion/assumption what changes fingerprint related November update introduced - it's NOT only for screen protector related security issue fix. Below is relatively full changelog - see item next to last
What's new:
* November security patches (Samsung Android Security Updates)
* Integration of Samsung Cloud and Microsoft OneDrive (Sync Gallery with OneDrive)
* Provides a natural and frictionless mobile to desktop data continuity experience for your pictures through OneDrive integration.
* The performance of Bixby has been improved
* Improved fingerprint recognition algorithm
* The security of your device has been improved
Here is a link to official Samsung changelog, which proves you wrong about the nature of fingerprint update:
https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-N975F/AUT/doc.html
The thing is, your device may be malfunctioning or something, because mine works fine since Sept 11, when I bought it, if you use an unbranded device, you just have to wait until the patch is released for your device, that's it, plain and simple, I just was saying that, regarding the fingerprint issue, samsung is seeding a patch that not only adesses the fp scanner, but also some more things, along with the Nov security patch, there is no point in trying to "prove me wrong" as I was by no means trying to convince you of ANYTHING, you will have to wait for the patch, you talked about "rumors", no, there are no rumors, the patch has been issued, unlocked, unbranded devices get updates sometimes later than carrier distributed ones, so, cool off, do not get overly defensive and agressive, you asked about the patch, you got some answers
Simple,

Here is a quote from your post: ".. the so called ffix is intended to prevent a potential security issue, appearing in some devices when people used silicone screen protectors, and NOT because the fp scanner was inaccurate or such"- the obnoxious capitalization of "not" and this entire quote is definitely you, arguing and trying to disproof what I said about fingerprint scanner fix being available. I personally consider lack of willingness to admit ones own, obvious mistakes to be one of the most repulsive qualities in a human being, and you seem to have that quality... I strongly disagree with your statement that "there is no point" in proving you wrong: First, that's not what is happening here - you were the one, who disputed my comments first and started an argument with the above quote. The overall tone of your post was not helpful, fairly hostile and condescending. Second, you were wrong as Samsung's official firmware changelog shows. So, what's happening here is not me, trying to prove you wrong, but me, defending my original comments, which contain correct information, against your false, and misleading dispute of them about the nature of fingerprint scanner fix. I corrected you rather calmly, so it seems to me you're the one, getting riled up over your own mistakes and you should be the one to cool off.
You are also incorrect in pretty much everything you said about devices, which you called "unbranded", including your assumption that carrier branded firmware gets released first. That is a horrible mistake to make, and it shows you don't have any understanding of software/firmware development process, and how Samsung <-> carrier relationships work. I don't have to wait for anything because Samsung original firmware updates get released waaaay before carriers release their own branded version with their built-in bloatware. Places like this have firmware for my phone, available for download waaaaaay before you get your carrier's OTA updates.
Now it is clear, you are just trolling here
Thread closed.
No place here for pointless and acerbic arguments.
Hi gang, long time, no chat! Amazing what happens when Google finally gets their act together with the P6Ps, isn't it?
The last I heard @ 9to5google.com is that it was late. Nothing beyond that, though. Thank you!
Well, Pixel updates were always released on Mondays. So maybe next Monday? Or even a Monday after that.
March Update postponed indefinitely
Google are getting so slow for updates and they barely have any phones lol, whilst Samsung have pushed out 2 massive updates by the time Google has pushed out 1, I also find it strange that pixels software are the bare minimum and have worse battery life
I don't think anyone really knows when it will be released. Interestingly, the A14 DP2 build that was released yesterday had the March security update in it.

HMMMM....
I count 15 updates and one major version upgrade since the initial release of the P6P since October 2021
I've found that Google's updates have drastically improved battery life for my P6P, but it still doesn't compare to the battery life I used to have with my LG several years ago. And I think we all can remember how bad LG was, with releasing updates. I just thought that perhaps I missed some insider news for the delay, and you are so wonderful with these phones.

You have completly missed out on what I've just mentioned on that last post lmao, it's great that you can count but unfortunately you can't read well, ("" by the time "")
EDIT - to dumb it for you, I'm speaking about this year only, if you need it dumbed down further then give me a shout, thanks.

You remind me of my ex - she thought that I had a crystal ball and could read her mind. I can give you her coordinates - the two of you would get along just great
All pixel phones have march update ota by now, just not pixel 6
Google really starts to look like fools, when samsung starts to be faster with android updates than google, and delays
Would you rather a fast update or one riddled with phone killing bugs?it's not like they sat down one day and said "i know let's make users mad and not release an update".
Google are doing fine with slow updates with lots of bugs, just look at the pixel 6 and 7 update history, software/hardware bugs are all over the place.
7 Pro update went online today. I guess ours will come soon then.
its out for all but not for P6/P6P

Maybe that could be due to them refining the new Night Sight algorithm used in the smartphone

What are you talking about?
My bad, if I switch the language of the webpage to German, the march updates are gone
Google said the March P6 fam update has been delayed til the 20th because they're adding 5G connectivity and having issues with India's configuration so to speak.

We need to wait till March 20 for Google adding a code line to allow an Indian Carrier support 5G?
