[G4 General] F-L-Y-E-R:
And on top of that G3 is almost 1 year older than G4 and it runs the same Software version. This is absolute joke that at some point LG was thinking not to update G4...

Their decision sounds like spitting on their customers who paid money, yes we should be grateful for releasing Nougat but not that manner, just read it again "decided to support" sounds like decided to give us a candy as if we were 'butthurt'...
[G4 General] raptorddd:
you totally right. its a lame excuse.. they werent going to give us update. but what am trying to say was this G3 had its 2 major updates i beleive. and G3 cant demand nougat as it already passed the 2 year update time. us G4 users have and should it have nougat in JAN 2017. way before our 2 years expired. way back months. .
[G4 General] Sun-Mod:
Android N has released for LG V10 korea,when will LG G4?
[G4 General] kouzelnik3:
In Q3 and that means sometimes from July to September
[G4 General] braulio_holtz:
I do not believe that for the LG G4 delays so much, at the end of Q3, the LG G4 has some similarities with LG V10 (CPU and GPU)
[G4 General] Velkyrix:
Considering Hardware similarities (I went on the internet and looked it up) porting the v10's nougat over to the G4 shouldn't be too hard. I believe the Korean G4 will get it by the middle of July- Beginning of August, and we will receive it internationally during August.
[G4 General] brossovitch:
Hope you're right. So far AT&T has stated they will not be updating their G4. Hopefully is T-Mobile users won't be left in the dark like that. Considering the V10 has been on the N update list for a while now.. if we get it for our TMO H811 handsets it may be before the end of the year, maybe.. if we're lucky enough.
[G4 General] raptorddd:
LG v10 nougat video..

[YOUTUBE]hDCuLGKeO0o[/YOUTUBE]
[G4 General] Dryvlyne:
:cool::good: I finally got around to updating to MM today because I'm coming to the end of my lease and plan to keep the V10 for at least another year. I really didn't think it would get Nougat, but glad to see I was wrong!
[G4 General] raptorddd:
lets wait and see when rest of the world get is. some say within weeks.

waiting for our G4 release. :D
[G4 General] Jacksoft87:
I've asked the LG Security Team about security patches (that implies an update, obv), and this is what they replied:

I don't think it will be 7.0, but, at least, some good updates are coming... I just hope they didn't wrote bs.
[G4 General] Lucian greuceanu:
Christmas is coming. End of quarter 4...
[G4 General] Penk2856:
I gave up waiting and ordered a Nokia 8 yesterday. Android Oreo, security patches... Much better than LG.
[G4 General] Basmatek:
I need the removable battery, wireless charging and IR blaster, so i ordered another G4.
[G4 General] Xprio88:
I unplugged for 24 hours and it was amazing!
[G4 General] Windows10Mobile:
Maybe for the next year's Christmas, it would come as a present.
[G4 General] Xprio88:
Maybe your phone might die by then.
[G4 General] brossovitch:
H811 is updated to 20x. So they haven't completely written us off yet...
[G4 General] divineBliss:
H81120X is Marshmallow update for T-Mobile LG G4 with November 2017 Security update. Very interesting. Wonder if we'll see the same for Verizon, AT&T, or any other carriers in the world :confused:

[G4 General] adnankamal851:
At least in US, you got security update for Nov-2017. Outside US, the last security update we got was in Oct-2016. LG has given priority only to Korea and US and ignored the remaining world.
[G4 General] Windows10Mobile:
we are gonna ignore lg too! :laugh:

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:43 PM ----------

my device finds v20g for h815t with 9 Nov 2017 date.
[G4 General] evrk:
Is there no official word about the cancellation of Nougat on G4 or a confirmation that it's coming? No word at all? Well for me LG is done once and for all. I had only trouble with their devices. As for their claims on security patches that was a big fat lie. I received only 2 patches since the phone was out. Anyways I think Nougat for G4 is done for unless someone here has official information on the matter. Whoever buys LG again after all this (both hardware and software issues) is deserved to be treated like that.
[G4 General] Windows10Mobile:
there is no official word on the status of nougat update for non-korean devices.
[G4 General] raptorddd:
dont email them call them and let them know how you guys feel i so that now and then
[G4 General] Mahziyar:
The year is ending and still nothing...
[G4 General] digitall1982:
all of you need to link this thread to forums like g5, g6, v20, v30, just to people see who they dealing with, and ask themselves for future using or buying lg product ever again...
[G4 General] LittleDyer:
What about the US991 Models?

Just wondering...for the US991 model and my version is GSM unlocked compatible with most any SIM. Any knowledge on if it will be available to this model? Ive tried changing my VPN also that didn't work.

Thanks.
[G4 General] akorenyok:
Portugal. In the online store of the mobile operator MEO on sale there is not a single smartphone brand LG. A huge number of pritenzy and breakages (+1).

Bad signal for the brand !!! By merit !!!

[G4 General] raptorddd:
i called LG USA and they hang up on me same story they told me that it was the carrier that needs to send update. not LG and carrier says its LG. so she kind of geot mad when she told me that its an old phone and shementioned some phones wich arent flagships and i told her samsung s6 its gettting oreo phone from 2015. i told her whe were suppose to have this update since last december. i also told her that we were in the 2 year cycle for nougat. and i said LG support sucks , she said say it again and ill have to hang up on you. i said LG dropped support on G4 and only received 1 major update and that sucks LOLshe hang up on me.:D
[G4 General] F-L-Y-E-R:
It seems that even thieves fed up watching me suffer while waiting for Nougat update and stole my phone, goodbye LG...
[G4 General] icemankent:
I think LG is playing the waiting game.

They are hoping that our G4's will die of old age, and the population of G4's that exist, which have users that will still lobby them to upgrade to Nougat will diminish into obscurity.

Come on, LG - do the right thing here.

G4 - h-812 here in Canada.
[G4 General] RuedasLocas:
iPhone have the strategy of making old devices become lagyy... LG chose to don't update.

Its nothing new for LG users. I have a LG 4X HD, G2 mini, G4, and it was and it will be always like that. Its a question of getting used with it...

Merry Xmas to all :)
[G4 General] Alextrophysics:
December 22 2017 and only 9 days until the end of the year and...still nothing....yay... Never buying anything from LG ever again....
[G4 General] mauecky:
Merry Christmas with no official Nougat on LG G4 :) for EVERYBODY :)

G3 was updated to android 6 on 31 dec 2015

LG G3 was updated in Poland to android 6 on 31 December 2015. LG G4 may be updated to Android 7 on the last day of this year as well... That's my hope:confused::rolleyes:
[G4 General] Zenouzenou:
Thanks,

Btw my oneplus 5 did receive the Oreo update this morning..
[G4 General] fegitoli:
Very disappointing, LG. Still waiting on Oreo for my G6 and it's been months already. Coming from a G4, my G6 will probably be the last I'll be owning of LG.
[G4 General] F-L-Y-E-R:
Guys you are right, people who moved to OnePlus, Nokia etc. won I think LG and Samsung days are over and we must remember this if they don't care about us, we don't care about them no matter the past we must stop buying their products. I personally bought Nokia 8 and even though I liked my G4 more in terms of design and usability because I don't really like stock...
[G4 General] sbasil:
How's Nokia's 8 treating you compared to G4? Faster for sure, but can you see REAL difference in real life apps, not just games? And how's the camera? Better, equal, worse? I'm seriously considering jumping boats, but haven't decided yet which phone to choose. Well, one thing is for sure; it won't be LG. I liked (and still do) my G4, but the abysmal way LG is treating their customers is driving the customers away, myself included.
[G4 General] Lucian greuceanu:
I don't understand: if the nougat firmware already exists (for Korea), why is it so hard for LG just to make a configuration change and distribute it internationally?
[G4 General] F-L-Y-E-R:
Performance is very good as you would expect from 835 chip and almost stock Android, I don't play games so can't comment anything on it. Battery life is amazing as well. Updates are quick, latest security patches even though I haven't received Oreo yet but a lot of people did, I think it's the Google update system that is pushing step by step... Camera is a little bit slow in focusing on object but quality is good I'm not an expert and I don't really care because I have a separate camera anyway. But device overall is really good you can watch YouTube reviews everyone is really positive about it. The main thing is that Nokia is really open to customers, there's a live chat support app on the device, they are updating a lot of things for example new camera UI etc and their chief executive is active on Twitter about new announcements etc.
[G4 General] Juujika:
No, its not hard they just want us to buy LG V30. You cant make money by updating old phones, you can only make money by selling new ones. They are genius. :p
[G4 General] raptorddd:
a phone that shouldve had nougat since last december.
[G4 General] Yono908:
I Think LG now more focus on selling their new products V30 & G6 furthermore their are too busy researching for thier new model & preparing to launch the G7 on first quarter 2018. It seems to me that LG purposely slowing the development Nougat update down or even they don't want to spend their time & resources to develop Nougat update for LG G4 except for the Korean Model.

LG used to pretty quick in give the OS upgrade to their flagship and their keep support the upgrade up to 2 years ie G2 OS - JellyBean-KitKat-Lolipop & G3 OS- Kitkat-Lolipop-Marshmallow but now G4 OS Lolipop-Marshmallow-Nougat(only for Korean Model), Nougat (for the International Model BIG QUESTION MARK). Nobody knows when it will be release or whether it will be release or not....

Shame on you LG.... SAMSUNG GALAXY S6 which is a 2015 model (SAME YEAR to LG G4) already get Nougat several months ago and planned to get the Oreo next year! and now is nearly the end of 2017 which is only couples day away, My LG G4 H818P still stuck on Marshmallow!!!

I am consider to buy another brand when i want to buy my next phone.
[G4 General] magiQx:
Personally i will go with Nokia 7 after its release in Europe sometime in 2018 and keep my G4 for navigation or camera.
[G4 General] Juujika:
Should have yes, but the newer V30 is so amazing. I already bought couple just for my self and one for my girlfriend as Christmas gift same as for my mom and dad and for my aunt and her dog, who like to chew phones and for both of my friends and for the neighbor Mr. Richardson, but not hes wife because she is Apple user and i dont understand that kind of behavior. Apple phones are bad. And for couple of my workmates and my sister and...

BTW. LG i know that you are reading this forum and it is really hard to spot the sarcasm in internet, but my text was sarcasm, it was a joke. I never bought the V30 for my aunt dog. I would ever spend that much money just for the dog and your phone is bad for the teeth, even with so cool leather back cover. I bought pig ears instead.

PS. Can i get Oreon for my V30 please
[G4 General] Mahziyar:
Now LG(ay) launch oreo for V30 just in korea what a rasict you are other peopels arent human?
[G4 General] gozilla:
They favor the local (Korean) market and that is why they deliver over there. LG was highly regarded as a brand by Koreans a while ago. Anyways, read the news and you'll have a better picture of the mess they're into right now:

And just look at the issues plaguing the V30.

You can find a recent camera comparison @ The Verge (see "THE BEST SMARTPHONE CAMERA OF 2017 / iPhone X vs. Pixel 2 XL vs. Note 8 vs. HTC U11 vs. LG V30"). The V30 lags a lot behind other competitors. Google the report, as I'm not allowed to post URLs until I reach a certain amount of posts.

Keep in mind the V series were designed with media capabilities in mind... Add the screen issues, slow updates, high price tag and so forth and it will become obvious how much of a bad deal the V30 is. Considering these facts, I find it hard to believe they will deliver any further update for the G4. Suffice to say their existing customer base (e.g. G4 owners) won't jump the V30 boat since they have better options at the same price. And the G6 is far from being a true flagship phone. :)
[G4 General] kouzelnik3:
So Czech LG says, that Nougat is released in some regions but for example on Czech Republic, it won't be released. It means probably in some other countries it won't be released. Shame on LG.
[G4 General] tulen_kobi:
There is now tot file that you can flash in LG UP and you get official Nougat.

[MENTION=5461026]kessaras[/MENTION] also just managed to get custom Oreo rom to work. Check it out :) Stoji to za to :)
[G4 General] kouzelnik3:
Nougat tot file you mentioned is still that beta (v29) and I know about it, but thank you. :)

So I will try it later, because I'm waiting for Oreo. :) To rád slyším! :)
[G4 General] adnankamal851:
Sorry for asking . I have LGUP installed and I also found the LG G4 (H818P) TOT File on the internet. But I don't know what is a TOT File and I'd really appreciate if you can give info on how to install the TOT File on our old LG G4 (H818P) phones.
[G4 General] tulen_kobi:
Just the same way as you flash kdz using LG UP.
[G4 General] adnankamal851:
Thank you for quick reply. I'll definitely give a try. I hope it works.
[G4 General] fegitoli:
The thing is not everyone is able to flash this tot file. Take for example the Canadian variant, the H812, which can't be BL unlocked. Messing with flashing firmwares on a phone that isn't BL unlocked is a death sentence, and also the reason my phone broke. Oh well, my mistake.

I have a G6 now and the clock is ticking for LG to release Oreo before I ditch this and get a pixel phone.
[G4 General] Cozmos23:
Funny how you guys still hope that LG releases an update when they stopped supporting it 1.5 years ago...

Android 9 is coming in around 6 months
[G4 General] jmarius:
Well, there is probably nothing to wait for and go flash NAUGAT . Do you still wait Official update or go flash Naugat?
[G4 General] windozeanti:
Bad news for LG. They ain't the only company manufacturing Android phones. :highfive:
[G4 General] tulen_kobi:
H812 will be unlocked soon, we hope that h811's device tree will work for it.

How much broken is your phone?
[G4 General] fegitoli:
It turns on to a black screen and I can't flash anything in LGUP or Bridge.

It's bricked basically but steadfasterx sent me some files to try flashing to fix it.
[G4 General] spartan268:
Any information on how you know the H812 will be unlocked soon? From what I've heard everyone is in the same boat and we're all equally screwed

EDIT: NEVERMIND. I see steadfasts newest update seems to point at there might be some hope for us after all. If we can get our boat loaders unlocked then we can finally breath some damn life into these phones again. Although I'm sure most developers don't care about the G4 anymore though
[G4 General] el56:
I really had hoped to get more life out of my G4, and will really miss the coolness of its nicely weathered leather back. But I gave up waiting for updates, bought a 5T, and am really happy with it.

The speed boost is very noticeable, as much from the extra RAM as the faster CPU. I'm not much of a gamer but the improvement in the ability to switch between running apps is staggering.

I had also considered the V30, it's a very nice piece of hardware, but couldn't bring myself to buy another LG device given its treatment of G4 users. In the end it came down to the 5T versus the reduced-price Essential phone. I chose the 5T because of long term support issues. The Essential phone is a great build and good specs, but it has nearly no sales or community, so I have little confidence in its long term support. My inventory of wired speakers and headphones was also a factor :)

I have no problem with the 5T camera, but my photography needs are not extremely demanding. It does what I need well, thought its panorama mode isn't as flexible as the G4's.

Anyhow, I will still hang onto my G4 as a spare and feel it was retired way sooner than it should have been. But I have given up on getting updates. This is not just wanting new features, I am concerned about not having necessary security updates. In any case,I am not at all sorry with my update decision.
[G4 General] adnankamal851:
Hi everyone, I am using LG G4 H818P Dual sim model living in Saudi Arabia. After waiting for a long time and also that I was afraid of bricking my phone, I found the Nougat TOT file and the steps to update for my G4 model in the below link.

There are other G4 models KDZ & TOT files also available in the above link if someone wants to try out. The steps are very simple and easy to execute. Hopefully this post will help.

Attached is my phone details after updating to Nougat.

The phone feels way more faster than on MM. I still didnt used the phone much to give my thoughts on battery. I'll update here the post after testing battery performance.

[G4 General] Mahziyar:
I find it tnx i will wait for your experience :)
[G4 General] adnankamal851:
I told you the overall experience is good. the phone is very fast. the UI looks very good. We have new theme section. There are a lot of apps now that support dual-window. The shortcut to instantly switch apps (double-tap on recent apps button) is working pretty smoothly and is really useful.

I'd definitely recommend all to go for Nougat. Regarding battery life, bad luck. it still gives the same endurance. At least it didnt go more bad. :)
[G4 General] nerdo:
I have H818P too and I can confirm outstanding improvement in standby battery life after upgrading to Nougat, SOT is also better than MM but not significantly. Marshmallow was rubbish in terms of battery life.
[G4 General] EPa:
Guys please can you comment on the camera? Is the quality retained, better, worse? How about the video performance and 4k bitrate?
[G4 General] adnankamal851:
Sorry, I haven't tried the camera yet. I'll check it and give my feedback. If nerdo has checked the camera may be he can give his feedback for now.

Also, I'll agree with nerdo, the standby time has increased, but I am still verifying the SOT. I'll post my feedback again after few days regarding battery SOT and camera. Also, I would like to highlight that I am on roaming presently so I might get little less battery considering the phone signal keeps changing the network.

[G4 General] kukualla:
Well it was pretty obvious Nougat would never happen... even though we get the beta version v29... I've been using the beta for many months and it's VERY stable, no idea why they didn't actually release it officially. I'm okay with the beta, even if the official doesn't come out, I'll keep using it until I by a new phone THAT IS NOT BY LG! Never again!!! Happy new year, everybody.

[G4 General] Joe USer:
I'm going to take a pic of my soon to be sold G4 with my new phone and send it to LG, while thanking them for their support.

Something along the lines of "Thank you LG, your lack of support made me look elsewhere for my next phone and I couldn't be happier."

I suggest others do something similar.
[G4 General] RuedasLocas:
I feel sorry for all of us but, they won't give a sh*t... How many LG owners are "here"? How many devices they sell? Most part of people don't know what is a bootloader, root, etc...

Even if all of LG owner from XDA quit and change to other brand, it will be less than a drop on the ocean.

Happy New Year everybody, my best regards to all of you!
[G4 General] Basmatek:
They won't release a nougat update because an 800mb update will bootloop many of the G4s still alive and will be bad for LG given the class action suit that's currently under way.
[G4 General] -gloim-:
That's garbage.

They won't release it because they want us to forget about our device and buy the V30.

[G4 General] draskome:
That's exactly the point..

Running through full scale update would put to much stress on many G4, and possibly trigger a bootloop.

It's much easier for LG (but deeply dishonest) to broke a promise of two year support, then to get into the risk of another massive bootloop because of the update..

Yeah, we're all pissed, but being gay has nothing to do with LG's awful support. It's too bad, really, I was considering getting a G6 or a G7 in a few months, but I'm just not going with LG ever again. The quality control issues, plus the bad support, I just can't see it being worth it, ever.
