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.

I have ordered the phone from Clove UK so I assume I should also expect no updates. VERY disappointed to hear that and exactly the thing i was afraid about since my Mate 9 received only ONE update in 2 years (was Asia version i think as it is 636)

I bought mine from Hong-Kong but my region is set to UK and i receive regular updates

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.

Android 10 update

Any ideas if Samsung finally will update Android on their phones including the new Note 10/10+ fast this year? P30 Pro will have acces to Android Q Beta this September...any news for the Note?
Was a reason i moved away from Samsung phones, i really like the Note 10 + and i really want to purchase it but, can't stand waiting month for the new Android version...
So what you think?

Just get a device you REALLY like, do not waste time thinking about the OS that is the newest

If timely OS updates is high on your priority list, you bought the wrong phone.
I have owned the Note5, Note7, Note8, and Note9. I recall the Note 8 update to Oreo occurred the April after it was released, and the Note9 Pie update occurred in February after it was released (carrier versions, anyway). So you're looking at Q1 2020 for the update.
However, half the time the Android updates contain things that Samsung has already had in their software for a year or two, so... it's not that big a deal. That said, I still am always super excited when it happens (so I get it).

I don't see Samsung getting the Android Q update anytime soon. Huawei is lucky in that sense as they will be releasing the Mate 30 Pro with Android Q running out of box. So it is imminent the P30 Pro will follow.

You are missing Android 10

really if you care about the android updates as soon as possible just go to a Pixel device. on the other hand just buy a phone you like and get the updates when they come, an android update doesn't really change a lot, a lot of what is added to the base android are features that are common among third parties, so for a device from a manufacturer like Samsung all the android update means is you get a bigger number and some of the phones features move from the Samsung UI to base Android.

Not really. We already have dark mode, swipe navigation.
Nothing really excited about Android 10
What I missed the most is the call recorder ability which they removed since android 9. I don't see it coming back in Android 10.

Software is important for EVERYBODY, what I tried to tell you is this: if you like/want a note10 device, it works fine as it is, it will update in due course, if the updates are your most uttmost concern, then a pixel would be the perfect choice for you, it is well known that samsung is never the first to issue updates, knowing this, better get something else

After seeing the YouTube video of One UI 2.0 over Android 10, I can't see anything that exciting. Android 9 (RIP desserts) runs great, and 10 looked like a very incremental update.

Just enjoy your phone you just got it . Q will come orob will get 10 and 11 . Let's get 9 working good before we think of getting 10

You are missing more than that. You are missing the new notifications implementation and battery saving optimisation. A few other added new features. That is why I hate Samsung with their updates. Very slow about 6 months late

I had the Pixel 2 XL and when the update came through my battery life improved which was already good but improvement in any department is good.

Why should you come to this forum and complain about Samsung update when you know how they work?
We all know the update will take some time to be available since the moment we buy it. We like this phone not because of the google update that we eventually will get, but because of the features that not available even with latest google update.
You should buy pixel and iphone then. Or huawei.

Exactly

I've only had one recent "need" for an android upgrade(Wireless android auto), just to find out that after we got it that google had restricted the feature to google devices. After 6 months of google claiming it was the Samsung's issue, even though no other brands worked either, they came out with a "beta" that enabled Wireless AA on other devices, no patches from samsung required.
There are so few important updates in Android these days, it's the least of my concerns.

Redmi Note 8 Pro - Official Miui 12 Global Released

Just received official Global miui 12 update. Did you guys too?
Tip: I did factory reset after miui 12 update & most of my bugs got fixed, make sure to make backup first if guys are doing that

I still didnt received miui 12 on my note 8 pro.. Im from Europe maybe it takes longer

Have you installed it yet? Does it lag?

I had checked received early updates option under update settings, just for the info:

I got my device 2 months ago and it is very snappy. I have no interest in having it become irreversibly laggy because of a major update.
I would love to hear if anybody had applied the update yet and if it slows the phone down.
If it does I will not update-- I'd rather have a snappy phone than one with the latest bells and whistles but sluggish!

'll keep u in touch

I've had this happen to me with previous phones. It's hard to resist the impulse to update, but sometimes it's really a big mistake.

Are you saying you installed the downloaded zip file over TWRP? Or did you take the OTA file? I'm wondering because I have TWRP and Magisk installed. I've been notified for the OTA update, but I've also already downloaded the stock ROM.

Don't update. It looks nice, have some cool features, camera is better, but it feels like it is not the same phone anymore. It lags, some animations are perfect, but many are not. Icons animation is ugly for me, text size is also not OK for me, some is bold and some is not...
The best firmware was Android 9, all after that is worse and worse.
Btw I did factory reset after I updated, like I always do after major update...

Thanks!!
So glad I checked with you guys!
I noticed the slight slowdown also between A9 and a10 within MIUI 11 itself.
Still fast, but an ever so slight lag that wasn't there before.
I assume there is no way to revert to MIUI 11 without unlocking the device....
I'll pass!

This whole episode makes a good argument for unlocking and rooting. Even though I have avoided doing that since I had my Nexus phone, it would seem that this is the only way to prevent your phone from becoming obsolete.
The RN8P is not an old phone and its such a shame that Xiaomi would release an update that would degrade the performance so much...and not give regular users the option of reverting....but then again, I have seen this happen on my previous phones too.
My previous phone was an LG G6, a flagship from a few years ago. When new it came installed with A6, and by the last update was A9, which literally made the device unusable.
Manufacturers are in a dilemma, because on one hand power users demand updates for the latest versions, yet inevitably these newer updated versions use more resources and aren't optimized as well for a legacy device.
At the very least the manufacturers should provide an easy method of downgrading.

I really do not know why Xiaomi doesn't offer official method to rollback as Huawei does via PC Suite.
I am about to unlock my bootloader, but I am not sure what to do next, as all of these tutorials are so confusing.
I think I have to root then, and no idea what comes next...
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Yes it is confusing, Xiaomi does not make it easy to root, I suggest you submit your questions for guidance on unlocking in one of the dedicated threads

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."

Pixel 6 and 6 Pro get out-of-cycle November update to improve the fingerprint sensor [U]
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....

My FP scanner was working pretty well but after the update it's even faster and unlocks in the same amount of time consistently now.

That's good to hear. I'm still waiting for the update :/

Yeah ... looks indeed like a tiny bit of improvement ...

Still doesn't work with my tempered glass SP .

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.

anyone in UK had it yet? Got mine from Google store but no update is showing for me

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!

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.
