[G4 General] F-L-Y-E-R:
That's how it should be done, look how many devices are getting Nougat, shame on you LG...

Just for example Mi Note: released in January 2015 with older Snapdragon 801 CPU and already received Nougat.

https://www.xda-developers.com/miui-9-global-xiaomi-november-2017/
[G4 General] Xprio88:
So I was reading about the V30 and the author got into the update history for LG phones to give you an expectation of support for the v30 and I read this

LG often likes to release updates first in Korea, and there the G5*was upgraded*to Android 7.0 Nougat in November 2016. Android 7.0 released in August 2016, so this is about a three-month delay. This release was in Korea only, though, so that doesn't cover the vast majority of our readers. (Shout out to those of you reading in Korea, though.)

In the US, LG slavishly lets the cell carriers do whatever they want to its phones to the point where the company doesn't even announce pricing or release dates at its own launch events. The release date of an LG update is going to change depending on your carrier.*Sprintand*T-Mobile*were first out of the gate with a Nougat update for the G5 in November (a three-month delay),*Verizon*came in December (four months after Nougat's release), and*AT&T*took until February (six months). Apparently the worst thing you can do is buy the phone direct from LG—the unlocked, US version received Nougat in*May 2017, a whopping 10 months after the first release of Nougat, and seven months after the first release of LG's Nougat build.

Three to 10 months for an update, depending on your carrier setup, is not great.
[G4 General] Mujo Nispe:
5 days!

Just to break the silence

:cool:
[G4 General] adnankamal851:
That's a good one. But I really hope that your word becomes the truth. The problem is people are getting frustrated thinking about LG not giving any proper response regarding the update for G4. I am now trying to accept the fact that we have to just move on with MM or just root the phone and install a custom rom. The only problem I have is regarding the poor battery life of G4 on MM. My brother have Galaxy S7 Edge which gives him a screen on time of around 5-6 hours and I generally get only 2.5 hours.
[G4 General] raptorddd:
not going to happen.....
[G4 General] EPa:
I think he meant it's been 5 days since the last message.

Not 5 days remaining for the delivery of the update.

BREAKING NEWS

LATEST DEVELOPMENT!!!

One hour ago Google has announced Android N stable beta will roll out for LG G4 users worldwide.

Sergey Brin and Larry Page personnally said they were so sick of LG's disrespect for customers outside of Korea that it made them literally sick.

As of this moment all LG G4 users will get Oreolike iteration of Android N called Nutella.

G4s in Korea will be downgraded from Nougat to Froyo.

It was also announced by Google that next week with 7.1 Nutella users will get extra benefits for their patience. Those benefits include:

Retroactive hair growth

Lower interest rates

Free cash payments

Lovers that support you with money.

Winning lottery numbers

More news expected...

Stay in touch

this isnt the place to comment posts like that. so LG played us and you trying that too. you know what i said to LG F U.

now for serious pleople i searched for CEO name and for LG USA i found this number cant remeber the name but he is in the mobile phone are

Frank Lee. 908-312-3233 franc.lee@lge.com.

not sure what he does but at least is someone not tipical agent that answer the phone.
[G4 General] Dark_Assi7:
Guys we have to make some noise like Korean people did to get the update.. We just commenting and complaining in a ****ing post that leads us to no end other than flash the beta.. So we have to make LG ear us it's better than complaining..

We can spam the ****ing social networks everything but we have to do something or the update will not come!! And we have to do it together!!
[G4 General] adnankamal851:
I will agree with your comment. We the loyal users of G4 should keep asking the same question to LG personnel again & again and force them to expedite the update push.
[G4 General] Mujo Nispe:
Not trying to play anyone.

I just think these are futile efforts

:crying:
[G4 General] adnankamal851:
I just contacted again with my local LG office and received the below reply.
[G4 General] Mahziyar:
So still we could have a little hope...
[G4 General] adnankamal851:
Seems that way and I really hope so. But I noticed that LG Saudi branch are pretty confident always. So, fingers crossed that we will get the update.
[G4 General] phonexpert_alex:
I came here to say f**k TAMMY and f**k LG!
[G4 General] Juujika:
I just asked the same question and they said that "LG have ever promised to release Nougat for G4 outside of Korea. If Korea get the update, it doesent meant that the whole world will get it automatically!"

Atleast this time they didnt say that i need to ask from Google, because they make those updates... Still, maybe it is a good idea contact to Google somehow and ask them.
[G4 General] Maraxer:
Just contacted the LG Czech and they told me that update is done and waiting for carrier certification.
[G4 General] px1396:
Not sure if it is a good or bad sign, I got an update 1 month ago, which contains 2017-09-01 security patch. At least we know LG is still working on G4 ROMs months ago...
[G4 General] Juujika:
You are living in the right country then. Is that China?
[G4 General] px1396:
Yes, but I'm using a Hong Kong version H818N
[G4 General] raptorddd:
ask tomorrow and youll get different answer
[G4 General] adnankamal851:
No, I am pretty sure they'll give same answer. They said the same thing 2 months back & still sticking to it. Please don't mind me saying but If you have lost hope then there's no need for you stay on this thread just to make other people feel sad as well.
[G4 General] raptorddd:
regarding what they say. there wont be a update yes i lost hope about 2 weeks ago.

am just being real. i was 99% sure about 2 months ago. not anymore. i called them every weeks they have me runing in circles/ they says my carrier i called my carrier the say LG then next time LG says google and google says LG. i beleive its LG. to blame. good luck waiting for it. i do remind them so you dropped support earlier that doesnt make you guys look good.
[G4 General] Dark_Assi7:
I already contacted the LG UK and for what they said that

Email
[G4 General] Phoenix204:
Honestly what I don't understand is what all this "testing" is about. The Korean model already has the update. Are the models really so different that an additional half year of testing is needed? It seems unlikely.
[G4 General] Dark_Assi7:
I don't know man but the beta exists in poland that is v29 but if it is because of that it might be about to finish i think..
[G4 General] Juujika:
I keep checking updates every week...

Atleast you got nice answer. I only get short messages and kind of angry attitude.
[G4 General] Dark_Assi7:
Until today I got the same messages you got but I was so annoyed with that that I criticize all the support in a formal way so I think that is because of it xD But I'm happy with the result.. That's what I said we can be so lamenting about it and try to do something ;)
[G4 General] Astrako:
Usually LG before a such update, put here the kernel sources for the new base. They did with korean variant and with other phones too. So if H815 or any other variant finally get the update, first should be upload here the kernel sources for that variant.
[G4 General] Windows10Mobile:
On Nov8, I asked the question to LG Turkey via twitter, when are we gonna install nougat to our devices? They said, we are waiting the job done by abroad. By abroad they mean Lg HQ.

Now I asked the same question again and they said we can not assure you any date for an update to nougat for lg g4.
[G4 General] stevenstrike:
It would seems so since the radio on v29 is completly broken with my carrier (bouygues telecom - france).
[G4 General] Xprio88:
Here in Canada my version of the G4 has no radio which is kinda lame and so is my cell carrier they like to cheap out and overcharge for their phones but anyway I decided to contact them via online chat and they had no information in their system about an update to come for the G4,

So Have I Lost hope not completely I probably wouldn't be viewing this forum right now if I had so the fact that you're all still in here posting still shows there's a glimmer of hope in your hearts

but I sure would rather wait then to get an early but bugged out version of Nougat and if it doesn't come life still goes on

I think.
[G4 General] grantdb:
I have Canadian version too and what I read is it has the radio hardware but disabled. I keep hoping for an update to nougat but as the phone is the best I have bought it won't be the end of the world if it never comes. Security updates would be nice and please, for crying out loud, LG should allow unlocking the damn boot loader if no more updates! Whatever
[G4 General] Xprio88:
I've tried other radio apps but they wouldn't detect the radio if I could unlock it and make it work then that would be great.
[G4 General] thekeemo:
The radio is disabled via hardware.

When LG buys the chip from Qualcomm they pay for the parts they want. They didn't pay for radio so the chips don't have it enabled.
[G4 General] Mujo Nispe:
Just received from Tele2 Croatia-

No info on G4 update
[G4 General] Mujo Nispe:
H818p
[G4 General] Windows10Mobile:
Well, Samsung decided to give Android Oreo to Samsung S6 users. As you may know, Samsung Galaxy S6 is a 2015 flagship phone. On the other hand, LG's 2015 flagship is LG G4. And we have MM on our devices, and will have Nougat lately. If we hadn't put enough pressure on LG, they wouldn't decide to give Nougat to us. This incident tells lots of stories to us about the two Korean companies.

https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s6_android_oreo-news-28411.php
[G4 General] Xprio88:
If that's the case then it doesn't even have the chip ?
[G4 General] Mujo Nispe:
I posted a screenshot of active radio on my h818p.

It's awkward that h812 haven't got one.

:confused:
[G4 General] dragankoz:
What initially made me buy LG
[G4 General] nigxxx:
i still dont understand what this fuss about updating to nougat? you can unlock bootloader by official LG site, and than you can do whatever you want. there are lots of custom ROM-s, based on Nougat. And who cares about nougat, Lineage will give us Oreo, so dont panic.

bye
[G4 General] grantdb:
Maybe I missed it, can you give me a link for unlocking my H812?

Thanks
[G4 General] Phoenix204:
Can't :(

The only unlockable bootloader models are H815 and H811. Us Canadians get the short stick as usual.
[G4 General] nigxxx:
i am talking about H815.
[G4 General] grantdb:
Didn't think so. Pisses me off I should have checked before I bought this model. Oh well
[G4 General] nummer:
But certain models disallow unlocking of the bootloader, like the H812, which is my model.
[G4 General] sbasil:
It's funny what's taking them for so long with the final version? I've had the "official" Polish 7.0 for over a month now and no problems so far whatsoever. I've noticed that with grey backgrounds I have a bit of pinkish tint on the screen corners and also "task bar" icons tend to "ghost", but other than that everything's great.
[G4 General] raptorddd:
the fuss is we get official LG means better we get all the sources from N. so its better for also LOS. we are using some of the korean sources . but it still is missing some things example i cant get volte. official sources means better roms on LOS and aosp. ect and stock.. get it.???? or you want to use LOS with oudated sources.?

becuase they arent working ont it how long it took V10 to update i beleive a month. its been months since korean was release. seems they dropped nougat on rest of G4.

SORRY TO USE CAPLOCKS BUT DONT CHAT GIVE THEM A CALL AND LET THEM KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT THEIR SUPPORT, DROPPING ERALIER SUPPORT DOESNT MAKE THEM LOOK ANY GOOD. CALL THEM DONT EMAIL THEM.
[G4 General] hc192:
Except for camera issues I completely agree with you. If somehow, a solution can be found for camera then there is no need for asking support from "brilliant" LG.
[G4 General] raptorddd:
kernel too.
[G4 General] grantdb:
After all the bad feedback, I wonder if LG will just put out a crappy update that is full of problems? I would rather have the ability to unlock the bootloader if there was a choice.
[G4 General] Velkyrix:
Well guys, guess you can say I gave up on waiting.

A tot has released for H815 and H818P BL Locked users wanting nougat, so I just flashed it.

I don't know to say if I gave up on LG or not, for its irrelevant for me now.

Nougat is great :)
[G4 General] :
Yes, Nougat is great.:svetius:

If you want to SIM unlock yes it's possible. I can't speak for LG tool but infinity box or octoplus offering the same.

This is NOT a bootloader unlock.
[G4 General] ufocus:
I've contacted LG Bulgaria by phone and their representative told me it's planned but don't have information when it will be released. I'll bother them again in a few days hoping that they feel pressure from the public and finally release it. I suggest everyone interested in receiving the update, contacting LG in their country will at least help excelerate the process.
[G4 General] gioxoid:
Nougat sources are still in progress and developing? Maybe LG is waiting for the final freeze of Nougat by Google
[G4 General] Basmatek:
Moto X Pure is also from 2015 and just got Nougat 7.0 in USA, so why not the G4?
[G4 General] Dark_Assi7:
The Google already realised the final Nougat and even more the already realised the final 8.0 (Oreo) and even an 8.1 second beta

Do you recommend this polish nougat development release?

I have battery problems and want nougat for improved battery life. I am waiting for nougat but LG makes me crazy. They postpone the nougat for other model phones but they seems to forget, G4 was released as flagship series.(Even low series got nougat now)

Hate to say "Never buy a LG phone again."
[G4 General] fegitoli:
The thing is that not everybody has the models that can be bootloader unlocked. Hopefully one day LG will release a tool to unlock the bootloaders of not just all G4s, but all their phones. Doubt that this will happen though.

to be honest, mt battery drains much faster with this polish nougat beta. everything else is much more smooth.

LG is friggin' pathetic -_-
[G4 General] Dark_Assi7:
I'm gonna ask LG if they know what Q3 is..
[G4 General] toastthemost:
I have given up. The phone worked well but there was obvious quality control issues. Whatever, they fixed our 2 G4s a total of 3 times and extended the warranty for free so we would have it all back to better. Stuck with it because the software worked well. Now it is old, slow, and LG Mobile does not care about its customers. I might have considered a G6 or a V30 if they cared about this phone. Nope. Not again. They will forget about your device and you as a customer after 1 major update once a new flagship comes out. Me and my family are boycotting all future LG Mobile products for this reason.

That appends when you lost quality of service.. LG is awesome but on Android support they are nothing.. They can do so much more with the Google partnership but for updating the Android you have to buy another phone.. It is like G3 have the Lollipop G4 Marshmallow G5 Nougat and G6 Oreo and expect the next version on G7 that's how they do the updates.
[G4 General] raptorddd:
they release phone with a new android and they then get 2 major updates from G2-G3 i believe v class too. and many LG phone get them specially flagships, us only got 1 major update on g4

Well guys, its getting closer. the V10 in Korea got nougat (shown in the nougat thread on the v10 xda). Assuming the way it went with the G5, around 5 weeks after the korean release the international update came along. If its like that with the V10, it should get it in mid June-early July. G4 next up :D

As shown in the image, the V10 is running nougat on the May 1st security patch.

Really 7.0? Not 7.1 ... It's really disappointing. So we are next to get buggy 7.0 ... Time to change producent because LG is impudent.

U really expected 7.1? Really?

I say be happy if u get any nougat at all.
[G4 General] magiQx:
I've read somewhere that on android 6, even though it is written 6.0 it really is more like 6.1 but LG chose not to change it to 6.1. Or something like that. Correct me if im wrong.
[G4 General] braulio_holtz:
I'm not sure, but I believe that LG can implement Android improvements x.1 but not have all the features. For example, a specific code that was made to fix memory leaks on Android x.1 is implemented in an x.0 version.

I think it could be an update with partial features of Android 7.1 that can fix bugs, but at the same time it will not have all the visible features of Android 7.1.

Only for LG to be approved at https://source.android.com/compatibility/7.0/android-7.0-cdd.pdf and not at https://source.android.com/compatibility/7.1/android- 7.1-cdd.pdf which requires a little more work.
[G4 General] tmihai20:
There was no Android 6.1 and the version we will be getting is not the Nougat 7.0 that was released to Nexuses/Pixels. Getting the latest patches and features is called backporting. I am also saying that we should be glad we are getting Nougat after all.
[G4 General] Velkyrix:
Most of the bug fixes, unless you are on a stock android device, are done by OEMS. Yes, if there were any big features in 7.1, we will not have them, but we will have nougat with the bug fixes that 7.1 offer + OEM features.

Its not as bad as it seems.

Also, they gave the V10 the latest security patch, meaning when the G4 gets it, it should also start off with the latest security patch of that android version.

According to LG Viet the phone runs good on nougat, battery life is ok (Does depend on the phone... some people there were getting rlly good battery, others with only 1.5-2.5 hours of screen on time and already 40%....), the performance is great, it offers all of UX 5.0+'s features (Including a theme engine that I have been craving for so long on an LG device)
