I have Nokia N8 with Symbian Belle Refresh from July 2011. Best support after one year we have 2 big updates (Symbian Anna, Symbian Belle) and smaller (Belle Refresh). When i bought my G4 (h815), My Android version was 6.0 and still is 6.0 after almost 2 years. I'm very sad. I think, that my next phone will be Nokia 8.
[G4 General] dsip:
If they unlock the bootloader, I might go for the Nokia 8 as well.
[G4 General] adnankamal851:
Another of my battery usage details with LG G4 running Android Nougat are attached.

Also, I have taken few photos and videos. I want to highlight that I am no expert when it comes to photography, I am just a normal person who takes photos for fun. I'll say the quality what I noticed is same as before. Even 4K videos are great as they were. At least they didn't screw up on that.
[G4 General] LPCG7:
I have a stock LP-rom H815 with locked bootloader, rooted and TWRP-in-FIsH by [MENTION=5545101]steadfasterX[/MENTION] installed and I want to try the update from LG for new experiences but tbh I am very much skeptical about the N rom successfully booting up without any issues since I have been reading about in other threads and a lot of users are complaining of it bootloop-ing or crashing and such while there are few who are impressed without any issue from updating to Nougat

I am hoping maybe you experienced members could shed some light on this Nougat rom not blowing up right back on my face since it is my only device and daily driver and suggest me if it is worth the shot safely.
[G4 General] H2othebest:
If you never had the bootloop, don't risk it.

Flashing a 1GB+ tot/kdz is not healthy for an old chip
[G4 General] sbasil:
I'm not Nostradamus, but I'm pretty sure that we can forget about the official Nougat for G4. It is never going to happen. Luckily we have a few great devs here maintaining the custom ROMs. Earlier today I was tempted and browsed for G6, but as it turns out, Finnish operators don't sell G6 anymore. Funny. :D
[G4 General] mateus.sc:
Just flash v29a ota's and you should be fine, the boot is signed by lg. A reset may give you better performance.
[G4 General] jkissane:
V29a-EUR is working fine for me on a stock unrooted H815 after upgrading using LGUP. As this is my only phone, I did sit on the fence for a while before deciding to try it out but it went smoothly enough,
[G4 General] LPCG7:
Alright, thanks mate. Your advice is precious to me.
[G4 General] nummer:
Does anyone know if version 29a works on the h812?
[G4 General] alirezaanik:
So is there is any chance to get nouget on h812

Single sim
[G4 General] Alextrophysics:
As a fellow Canadian h812 owner I've been wondering the same or if at least a tweaked h815 .tot or .kdz file to update it with LGUP is possible, but I've yet to find any working answer...
[G4 General] tulen_kobi:
Do not do that, h812 and 815 are different. Wait for the unofficial unlock.
[G4 General] gozilla:
Just replaced the screen with a new part. These two issues are gone for now. I think this is an issue acknowledged by LG. I brought the phone in the service for another issue and they replaced the screen as well. FYI

Bottom line: bought it new, replaced the main board after a month (wasn't plagued by the boot loop issue), replaced the battery after a year, replaced the screen after a year and a half. Good thing this has 2 year warranty.
[G4 General] Alextrophysics:
Someone said in this thread that LG will unlock bootloader for all the variant, but I haven't find any news on this. Anyone as an update!?
[G4 General] Mujo Nispe:
My email app was updated to 6.67.27 yesterday.

Alive and kicking!!!

Woooooohooooooooo!!!!

I feel like my hair started to grow again...tears of joy and other stuff...:angel:
[G4 General] Juujika:
Weather 4.70.16 too. That was kind of big update. Still no system updates... maybe soon.
[G4 General] grantdb:
Good one! Lol

I have seen few people reply thru tapatalk. Though I have never used it but would like to know if we can access XDA forums & reply thru it?
[G4 General] grantdb:

I'm using it right now.

[G4 General] Jacksoft87:
It's definitely over.
[G4 General] jmarius:
I think that will appear, only the question is when. Why then need write release NOUGAT for LG G4 and so on.. Where is the official letter that will not be updated. Are LG such SHI* and leaves us with no news.. Cry cry :crying: :crying:
[G4 General] DosenHatti:
Stop crying and wait for an update that will never be released. Install Kessara's CypherOS and you will be on Oreo straight away. ;)

Gesendet von meinem LG-H815 mit Tapatalk
[G4 General] jmarius:
Ok sir, i stop. A couple of questions if you using this device and AOSP: If i want install v29A need unlock bootloader? AOSP ROM can use for normal daily using? Is there not much bug and glitch? Or you try others ROM? Which in your opinion was most maintained, stable?
[G4 General] DosenHatti:
I'm running it for about 1 week now without any trouble. Battery life not worst than stock. Camera simple and good enough for my purposes. And yes you need to unlock. Tried v30 port as well, but that doesn't support quick circle cover. So I gave it up after 2 days.

[G4 General] raptorddd:
f*** lg

they did but only G4 korea had it... international and rest of world gpt screwed.:(
[G4 General] spartan268:
Steadfast will have an unlock available for us all so we can have our nougat or oreo whether LG likes it or not. I'm already out of warranty so it's a no brainer for me.
[G4 General] Velkyrix:
Well I updated to nougat already (unofficially through the tot) and thats how i plan on going through the next little under 5 months until my warranty ends and I buy a new phone.
[G4 General] Alextrophysics:
Well, I really hope so, because I have the H.812 variant and tried to update it via H815 & H818 tot file and LGUP found here in XDA forums , but it didn't work :( H.812 have bootloader unlocked and I can't find any .tot file or any file working with with mine :(..... I'm pissed at LG not at lead unlocking bootloader for me to use and install want I want....
[G4 General] spartan268:
I have a H812 as well. Just wait 'til steadfast is off vacantion then we can all have our unlock. Currently there's already a confirmed and tested device for the h812 that's running aosp oreo as we speak with zero issues. Nothing else works except for that once it's released
[G4 General] simuzer:
The LG may do a favor and get 8 instead of 7 :D:D:D:D:D:D
[G4 General] ZeligPC:
I'm using v29a on my H815 since 10 days, and I can say it's absolutely perfect, no problems at all. :good:

Installed with locked bootloader following this guide.

Maybe in the next months I'll unlock it and test Oreo ROM too, I'm quite curious about it... ;)
[G4 General] jmarius:
Thanks for sharing the link.I'll try it install over the next few days. :victory: 13steps ok I try try.. Or where normal guild how unlock and install this https://xdaforums.com/g4/development/h815-nougat-stock-t3659860 ? [MENTION=6307210]ZeligPC[/MENTION]
[G4 General] jkissane:
Just wondering about that guide mentioned, isn't just flashing via LGUP the easier option or am I missing something?

H815] [H818P] Nougat Stock FOR LOCKED BOOTLOADER [v29A] [TOT] [FLASHABLE LGUP]
[G4 General] adnankamal851:
I did the same thing. I have H818P and found the V29a TOT file. Installed it through LGUP. Its running pretty good.
[G4 General] ZeligPC:
It's your choice. Of course if you choose to unlock the BL, it's easier to just flash the ROM using TWRP as in your link!
[G4 General] Mujo Nispe:
What?

You all got Oreo so no one is here?

4 days without a word?

Helllloooooooooo.......
[G4 General] Mr.FREE_Bird:
What's the problem? It's pretty obvious that there won't be a global Nougat update roll out, so there isn't much left to discuss about. I have followed this thread since the beginning. Everything that can be said about this subject has already been said.
[G4 General] Mujo Nispe:
Pretty true

:(
[G4 General] nummer:
ALL HOPE IS LOST.

I chatted with an LG employee and he said there will be no nougat update. ?
[G4 General] obvious:
I don't think LG felt pressured to deliver to be honest. Nobody collected together a few screenshots etc of broken promises. Nobody contacted android news sites to put some leverage on LG for this...
[G4 General] obvious:
Look, here's the original promise. Wasn't hard to find. It's in the first post.

If you want something, it's no use just whingeing here about it.
[G4 General] Mujo Nispe:
Who are those executives?

Pinnochio and Baron Munchausen?

:D
[G4 General] Mujo Nispe:
I'm not saying they have a tendency to cheat their customers.

History says so.
[G4 General] Thoweeth:
Hello everyone! I've been following this thread for a long time and I don't know what to think about this situation. I've tried contacting various LG social media accounts in many ways - via tweets, messages, and posts. I've wanted to get some useful information, so I've got in touch with their divisions based in several countries. They usually answer with replies saying more or less that they cannot give me any specific time frame for the update to reach my device. But today I got a message which is longer and different than usual, so I thought that I would finally register here and post the message in the thread ;)

Do you have any thoughts concerning the response I got? Do you think that there still is a chance that we'll get the Nougat update?
[G4 General] xenius9:
No chance, they politely sent you to f@@@ ;)

Отправлено с моего LG-H818 через Tapatalk
[G4 General] Thoweeth:
Unfortunately, you're probably right, just as I thought. This thread perfectly shows that probably no one at LG is trustworthy any more and that they really don't care about software updates and being true to their words...
[G4 General] evrk:
This thread needs to die already along with the broken G4 device and LG themselves. Whoever goes for LG again needs a checkup with a medical specialist. Unless one has a fetish with this.

I've never experienced something so horrible with a device on such large scale like all the problems with the G4 and LG.

This company is just a scum. Let's move on. If you can get rid of your G4 and get something else do it.

It's matter of time before it bricks by itself anyway.
[G4 General] adnankamal851:
I am sorry but I won't agree with you about what you said about G4. No doubt LG didn't kept its promises regarding G4 but the device itself is very good. Many of the people here in this post are very happy about this device but only angry with LG for not updating it. Many people love their G4's and are still using it as a daily device.
[G4 General] Andrewasth:
Every person in here is just complaining about lg's support. Just send a message with this thread to every major phone review site (like gsmarena and make it featured on xda news). Just make the message good-looking and formal ;) let them do the hard work
[G4 General] Makifylmz:
Thank you! I just send an e-mail to gsmarena about the situation. If you guys send an e-mail too, maybe they will make an article about that.
[G4 General] H2othebest:
Androidpolice is a big android-tech site too

Especially in the US
[G4 General] brossovitch:
Hahaha. I still love my G4. Works perfectly. Was just updated last month and is still quite good with root.

Love my G6 as well. Also love my V30s. LG makes good stuff. Just because they didn't want to support a failed phone, oh well.

Currently Google is still dealing with N5X handset failures. $#!t happens.. Wanna say FU to LG? Go buy an iSheep handset. Devices are devices, my g4 has been fine since i bought it 2yrs ago and is still perfect.
[G4 General] YoColdRain:
I don't get it. LG makes good stuff, but google is still dealing with N5X failures?
[G4 General] brossovitch:
Yep, more SD808 failure from Qualcomm. And software failures from Google.
[G4 General] lukem99626:
those are not Qualcomm issues its only with crappy lg phones yeah they design them to look good and have good function but no software support even if failed lets face it boot loop failed that phone even more insult to g4 owners is the Korean version got updates it doesnt take much to port over 100% should of got nougat as a goodwill to all the people who suffered I had 3 one screen went purple other 2 boot loop just because you got lucky with yours doesnt make the situation Any less bad
[G4 General] brossovitch:
Dunno, my g4 got an update last month. Not nougat but it's still fine.

Yea, I get what you mean and all. But ive never had any issues with any LG phones. Tons of updates throughout their life and very reliable. The sd808 is the warmest SOC I've ever used so far but that's about it. My g4 bootlooped once but that was actually my fault, LG fixed it free of charge.

As of now, my only issue with my G6 & V30 is no root. But they're still pretty fantastic nonetheless. And the g6 has gotten about 9 updates since I bought it in May.
[G4 General] lukem99626:
they probably are great (g6 v30) but at least here no one buys them and the prices are really down in the months owning my g4 no updates at all the store replaced it with an xperia xz for free its seen nougat oreo and monthly updates not an amazing phone but they at least did better than lg if I pay premium price say for a v30 I want monthly patches like every other major brand and support thats useful
[G4 General] brossovitch:
Well, as much as I love LG products, I can say that I plan on buying a OnePlus 6T when it's available. If it comes that is. So by the end of 2018 I'll be out of the LG world, kinda.

Also, I only paid $300 for my V30 and $250 for my G6. Gotta love those deals and loopholes from TMO!
[G4 General] Mujo Nispe:
It' perfect and it's failed???

Wtf???
[G4 General] brossovitch:
What are you talking about? Learn to read?

---------- Post added at 01:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------

If its such a big deal, just change some parameters with Kernel Adiutor.

Or flash an AOSP based ROM. I enjoy it quite a bit.
[G4 General] Mujo Nispe:
You wrote it man

:cool:
[G4 General] brossovitch:
Yea and there were press releases and everything about ending support (fail).
[G4 General] raptorddd:
like someone said/ many people got bootloop including me. only once. we are not asking for something from them bootloop its their fault. the nougat update shouldve arrived onto G4s we were in the 2 year update cycle. and yet korea got it and us got screwed. ive sent link and letter to android police. so lets all sent them and make some noise see if luckily LG pays attention to it.
[G4 General] mateus.sc:
I think a thread with the how to for this is a must. Certainly it will help to engage the G4 community to show them we do care about this.

Im Brazilian and here LG dont give a **** to costumers feedback.
[G4 General] raptorddd:
i think this thread is good enough from me, i loved my G2 and G4 nice camera but no official N. fu** LG
[G4 General] mateus.sc:
This thread wont take us anywhere. Me and a lot of G4 owners from other countries will stay without the information needed to make some noise in a LG channel that can really listen to it and do something
[G4 General] Dark_Assi7:
And the Google started developing the Android P..
[G4 General] biggr:
There won't be an official Nougat for the G4 and there won't be another LG phone for me.
[G4 General] Windows10Mobile:
Exactly! The same goes for me too! :good:
[G4 General] jorgecft:
To be honest, even if LG updated this phone to Nougat it would be just too late, Oreo is out and P under development... I will stick to aoscp rom until I buy my next (non-LG) phone
[G4 General] raptorddd:
my next phone will be a huawei or xiamoi. thank you LG
[G4 General] sdhweg:
Ill go for a hmd global(nokia) good device for a normal price. I wont spend that much any more for a LG Samsung Apple or whatever

[G4 General] fegitoli:
I got a G6 after my G4 got bricked. I'm STILL waiting for oreo and I'm having problems with the headphone jack. After this, I'm not supporting LG anymore.
[G4 General] zPacKRat:
What is then issue with the headphone jack?
[G4 General] fegitoli:
It turns out, my headphone jack was just filled with lint, which explains why it was acting up. Still, it's a shame LG is ruining their reputation of having fast-ish updates. I shouldn't even be hoping for Android P if they're taking this long with Oreo.
[G4 General] Dark_Assi7:
Same here xD
[G4 General] magiQx:
Definitely no other LG phone for me. After i read that samsung will push Oreo to devices starting with S6, i lost all hope . I'll go with HMD for my next phone. Maybe Nokia 7 plus. Even Nokia 2 has a planned upgrade to Android 8.1. So, from me this means bye bye LG.
[G4 General] Yono908:
I Guess LG G4 is my last phone from LG phone. As a loyal costumer since LG G2 I am dissapointing that LG does not care to their loyal costumer anymore. They don't give a **** to do a research & develop the OS upgrade to their previous years flagship product... even they don't give any security patch update for LG G4 since OCTOBER 2016.

Looking to this situation I am very sure that LG will only give one OS upgrade to their FLAGSHIP PHONE instead of two OS upgrade like the other brands give to their flagship phone.

LG phone now become the slowest and the worst brand in term of OS upgrade!

I was Planning to upgrade my LG G4 to LG G6 or V30 but I am affraid that phone will only get one upgrade from Nougat to Oreo and will not get Android P upgrade in the future & this give me a second thought to upgrade my LG G4 to either Samsung S8 or Nokia 8 in near future.

No wonder LG phone can not beat Samsung in term of Smartphone MARKET LEADER!

I am hoping that LG top management person read this tread so they know how to treat their loyal customer in right way!
[G4 General] Basmatek:
LG phones depreciate so fast, I'll be happy to snatch a V30 for $200 by the end of the year, even with only one OS update. Or get a V20 now for $200. Best value for money of any totl one year old phone, i think.
[G4 General] :
Everything happens for a reason. If I was 100% sure that the phone wouldn't create problems like bootloops or screen problems then I would agree with you, but...
[G4 General] F-L-Y-E-R:
So how's Nougat on G4 progressing?

Nokia 8 here:
[G4 General] Jostian:
Ok I'm confused, so is the G4 getting Nougat or not? I though LG committed to releasing Nougat for the G4, but are you guys saying its not happening anymore??
[G4 General] Mujo Nispe:
No Nougat.

They lied.
[G4 General] Jostian:
So the Nougat that we 'got' for the G4, the V29a version is just a edited Korean version or what???
[G4 General] botkiller00:
İ got g4 after Galaxy s3 and that was a huge step for me. Screen, camera everything except battery life. First i suggest lg and g4 to everyone but no security patches, no os update, and even battery optimization? At least... And this N update that every phone gets except G4 makes me angry and i wanna change my phone. This won't be lg definitely. İ am thinking of OP 5t to buy but i am worried about it's camera... Any way bye lg about a month and good luck with your sales.
[G4 General] Juujika:
They said Korea will get the Nougat, it doesent mean the rest of the world would get it. That what they said. Someone just thought we all would get it. It wont happend, Korea is the only one.
[G4 General] Windows10Mobile:
how is the camera quality compared to lg g4? I suggest you to check the score of DXOMark for Nokia 8?;)
[G4 General] Xperio:0:
Had my motherboard and micro USB port swapped out in the last month of the one year warranty, never had a unused smartphone fail on me like that before.

This is my first LG phone and my last it's got some good things about it so I'll hold on to it a bit longer I just need it to last me another year can't trust LG at least I had nothing to lose when I got this phone paid 100 and kept my plan at least it died at the right time.
[G4 General] Jostian:
Nokia 8 has really poor IQ, it only gets average ratings IQ wise across a range of review, the G4 camera output is in another league.
[G4 General] ntnlzr:
oh man best useful post of xda!
[G4 General] Jacksoft87:
In march 2017 they announced Nougat for V10 and G4 on official italian LG blog, so it's not for Korea only.
[G4 General] EPa:
Please.. When talking about the G4 you're talking about a phone that can shoot 4k even with its front facing camera, can do the so called "bothies" and even shoot "bothie" video, years before Nokia announced the feature as some kind of new technology, and all this with quality directly comparable to the best phone cameras of today.

When talking about G4 shortcomings your best bet is to leave the G4 camera out.
[G4 General] brossovitch:
Yea. My G4 is actually as good as or better with photos than my V30 & G6. Definitely better than my G6. And the front camera kills both the v30 & g6 front camera.
[G4 General] daniLaLaLaLaLa:
LG is releasing Oreo for V30.. so i guess, all G4 variant except Korean has been abandoned in the Nougat update project..
[G4 General] brossovitch:
Been using 8.1 Oreo rom on my G4 for about a week. It's not terrible. Its really smooth too. Too bad LG won't support their existing devices... Even though they literally said they would.. HAHAHAA
[G4 General] cristi2442978:
Can you please tell us which rom you're using? thanx
[G4 General] brossovitch:
Cypher. It's not perfect but its being worked on daily
[G4 General] mauecky:
Seeya folks. G4 sold. It was great time :)
[G4 General] Drago3110:
Bye :)

Such a great phone and idea (volume keys and power button on the back of the phone). Everyone who used my phone searched the power button and the most of them didn't find the button (because all of them thought the buttons are on the side of the phone; and they didn't look on the back of the phone, and they tried and tried and tried :D). And the knock code confused so many of my friends, too :D

Now it is time to think about a new phone. I would like to stay at LG...I don't know why, i felt in love with the LG Launcher and the layout with the buttons on the back.

But V30 is too expensive for me :(

And G5 is too old (don't know if there are updates for the next 1 or 2 years...)

LG have ruined other phones for me xD :'(

Finally! :D
[G4 General] tmihai20:
[MENTION=6287517]brossovitch[/MENTION] [MENTION=4949065]cristi2442978[/MENTION]: I think Bluetooth is still not working on CypherOS or AOSCP Roms, am I correct? Because Freedom Rom started to be really laggy lately.
[G4 General] F-L-Y-E-R:
I think after what they did to G4 you can't trust LG anymore, look at new phones they don't update them as well or if they do you have to wait nearly a year and hope...

Unless you buy it for half price like I did with my G4 if you really like LG but with such customer support it's a joke anyway.

Yes I still like the UX and design used to be unique but they don't produce such phones anyway :(
[G4 General] Yono908:
I'm with you on that. LG is now become the slowest brand in term of delivering the OS update to their flagship phone compare to the other brands.
[G4 General] brossovitch:
I don't know. I only use Bluetooth on my v30.
[G4 General] bluelagoon8951:
Bluetooth calling isn't. Normal Bluetooth audio is.

[MENTION=8971564]CrazyBenjy9[/MENTION]: I need working BT calls mainly. Thank you for replying. I guess I have to stay with the V29a based Roms :(
[G4 General] kessaras:
Did the LG team refer to h815 with the word "unlocked" ?

That's crap maybe the room cleaner answered
[G4 General] Jacksoft87:
Yes, because I wrote them my G4's firmware informations (that is Europe/NoBrand/Unlocked).
