I agree Samsung should do it better and force for more but I think it's also very related to regional Samsung departmans. Samsung Turkey released April updates for S7 and S5 in Turkey. 2 years past and S5 is still taking updates regularly in every 2-3 months.

Just been chating with the online support of Samsung Portugal which confirmed that they don't have updates planned for the S7 in the near future... Indeed sad....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nikos Nx:
Noone replied to you so I will do it :D

Samsung releases software updates regularly, almost monthly, but carriers and factors (if it's the correct word-i am from Greece) in countries can be still late to release their roms. I believe Samsung should apply stricter policies about this.

Until then, granted that someone you are not locked on a specific carrier software and you are familiar with the phone and the computer, you can flash a rom that ia updated regularly. The faster rom for S7 nowadays is PHN.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] *Detection*:
Not really, Samsung are terrible at releasing updates, XEU is Unbranded meaning we don't wait for Carriers, we wait for Samsung, Last update was Octobers (Pushed out in November) and before that was August

Samsung are one of the worst OEMs for pushing out updates, always have been

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffreymcclain:
I received the May OTA update earlier today, and since I'm rooted I decided to flash it with Flashfire. As soon as I opened Flashfire I was prompted to click a button to install the OTA. However, I then recieved a warning message "warning: it has been detected that you may be trying to flash a block-level ota, but your /system, /vendor, or /oem partition has been modified. This will likely cause the flash to fail!"

However, I clicked "ignore" and continued anyways, since I interpreted "flash to fail" to mean "will either not update (abort and stay the same) or update correctly." However, now my phone is stuck on the booting screen. I should at least still have TWRP installed, since I believe the "preserve recovery" box was automatically checked.

What can I do to fix the issue? I'm thinking if I download the full OTA and flash in recovery, maybe that will work?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnhazelwood:
If you can still boot into the bootloader (not recovery), do that and run through the manual install of the factory image (via the fastboot command - see the install instructions in the general forum). Again, do this manually (which requires downloading the factory image, extracting the files out, and manually flashing each file (bootloader, boot, etc.)) as that's really the only way you're going to get back to normal. You will have to re-root, etc., but that isn't that much work and saves the pain of going through what you just went through.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffreymcclain:
Fixed

Thanks, I actually just flashed the full factory OTA and now everything is working fine once again. I did lose root access though, so I have to reflash superSU as well. Thank you for trying to help though! If flashing the full OTA in TWRP had also failed, my Plan B was to just flash the factory image as you suggested.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
Or next time just use the full image (not OTA) with FF (with select flash firmware package). You won't have any issues plus will retain root/recovery. You'll be back up and running in one minute.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnhazelwood:
Glad you got it back up and running. Also, as mentioned, you could flash the full package via flashfire, just don't flash the bootloader using it.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] rahulsuneja:
I have had an LG G4 since Sept, 2015 and have been using it as my daily driver ever since. I was probably among the first ones in India to buy the LG G6. For clarification, the LG G6 (H870DS) sold in India has 64GB memory and comes with a 32-bit HiFi DAC. I loved the G6 right from its launch at MWC, so much so that I had made up my mind to get it as soon as it lands in India. The fact that it was available with an INR 10,000 cashback on the first day was the icing on the cake. I bought the Ice Platinum colour and received the device on 29th (requested later delivery).

I unboxed the phone around 3pm and used it for 2 hours straight. I had taken a half-day from work, I spent two hours with this device, I loved the aesthetics and this colour. LG has made a near perfect smartphone but it fell short in the one place where I had least expected it to. After about 3 hours of using this phone, I put up the return request with a very heavy heart. This is by far the best Android device I have ever used till date. Why did I return it, the burning question now.

The LG G6 has the worst front camera I have used on a smartphone since 2012. Period. It was worse than my old LG G2, Galaxy S4 and even the mid-ranger Moto G4 Plus. Coming from an LG G4, this was a major downgrade for me. I played around with the settings, found that the front was using a 3.7MP mode to scale to 18:9 but even moving to the 5MP mode didn't help. The camera was blotchy, unfocussed at most times, lacked any kind of sharpness and had very poor color reproduction.

I headed to the nearest LG service centre and also visited a Croma outlet that had a demo unit. After being certain that I had not received a lemon, I had to go for the return. For those wondering, the LG G4 is miles ahead of the front camera game with its 8MP autofocus sensor. The LG G6 is a fantastic device and probably is the best that LG could produce.

I do not understand how could LG engineers, marketing teams, quality control department or even their top ranking officials overlooked this. I am not sure how others have not mentioned this in their reviews. I searched around and found a couple of camera comparison videos that also show how poor the G6's front camera is when compared to other flagships. The OnePlus 3T has a much sharper sensor than the G6 and I always hated the OP3T front camera for the lack of details it captures!
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
Actually is a known thing of this device, and also the rear cameras are, on the hardware side, the worse piece of **** that LG could mount on a top device, but, well, at least with the reare the software has done miracles. Don't know about international reviewers, or the ones that review in your country, but in mine (italy) it was always said that the front camera is really bad.

But in my case i don't use the front camera, never used in any phone i've ever had (G2, G5 and now G6), i'm not a selfie person xD
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] rahulsuneja:
Even if I were not a selfie person. Even if I never video called anyone. Even if I never switched on the front camera of the device, I wouldn't buy the G6. I would absolutely not be at peace knowing the fact that a flagship device with this price tag has anything that is inferior to even its own predecessors. The problem with the tech world today (I am looking at iPhone users here) is that they keep supporting these brands by buying whatever *** they put in their phones and never complain. If we do not complain, they wouldn't listen and the evolution of technology will suffer a set back!
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jostian:
Yes the results from the rear cameras are really good, but most reviews mention the poor quality of the front camera, don't know what LG was thinking?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
Then complain, is by complaining that you get results in life.

Man, this is a phone, just buy whatever you want, without criticizing the others and you are good to go :svetius:
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] AsuraDas:
Although I agree the G4S FFC was probably the best self camera I have used on a phone. I also greatly appreciate that this phone was $100 cheaper than other flag ships. The FFC is more than satisfactory for my needs
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] shri080:
Sorry to hear that man. I know how frustrating it can get when something as simple as a front camera doesn't function the way it was supposed to, considering it's LG's best phone ever.

I was an S7E user till last week and would have switched to the S8 if I didn't have to deal with the terrible tempered glass issue with the edge displays. I have almost spent about 5 to 6 thousand only on the tempered glass and even when I used to put a new tempered glass on the S7E, the dust would start going in. Even with the S8, nobody has been able to make a proper tempered glass yet. And it almost looks like there will never be one. And the worst part was even with the tempered glass and a back case on, my S7E's display broke when it fell down from a 2 feet height. Though it still works fine and is usable, the tempered glass thing was too much to deal with. So i finally gave up on the edge displays.

Wanted to upgrade to some other phone, I have never been a fan of iPhones, so that was not an option for me. And was eagerly waiting for the G6 to arrive in India. And when I finally got my hands on it, I was very disappointed, to say the least. The front camera like you said was very bad, the display was not bright enough ( Compared to the iPhone 7 and Mi 5, both has IPS displays) and on top of it all, the disastrous pricing by LG. So I gave up on it and continued my struggle with the S7E.

But after a month to my surprise, LG had dropped the price by 10,000, the best price you can get it for now is 39,300 on Amazon. So looked up on OLX for a good deal and found some LG employee who had bought the G6 for 23,000 and managed to get it from him for 28,000. It was just one week old. It's a black one and the black color looks much much better than the silver one I had seen the first time. So I am kind of happy with it now. I think it's a pretty sweet deal for that price. The rear wide angle camera is crazy, I really love it and the battery is pretty decent too. And I don't know if they have released some software update or something, but the front camera looks much better compared to my first experience with it.

But yeah overall it's quite disappointing that LG releasing their flagship in 2017 could not put up few simple things in place. According to me, they should have made the display better ( The color reproduction and the brightness), the front camera certainly should have been much much better and the rear too in low light conditions. But if you can get a similar deal like I got, then probably its worth it. I like the device overall now, at least i don't have to deal with the tempered glass s*** anymore.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] dannejanne:
You all keep writing "flagship" in here about the G6. That is wrong. The V-series is their flagships not the G-series. Just a note.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Elnrik:
OnePlus 5 getting returned. Picked up a new G6 for < $400 until the V30 comes out. Or the pixel 2. We shall see.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] lmiked:
That is not entirely accurate! The V-series is their Top of the line model/device, but is not released world wide, it's only released in some select markets... For instance I have never seen an V-series in person ever, and I've tried looking for the V-10 and V-20 on OLX in the country I reside and neighbouring countries to purchase one, but found none... Then I read either the V10 or V20 (don't remember exactly which) was only released in the US and the other only in US and Europe...

A Flagship by definition, is the Ship or in this case the Smatphone that is high-end and represents the Brand, usually worldwide, which in this case is the G-Series... If you ask most people, they don't even know what a V10/20 is, what brand it is, and have probably never seen one, and if they had, they probably wouldn't have known...

Also, if you watch any review video on the G6, they all call it LG's Flagship Device... Of course a brand can have more than one flagship... Samsung for instance has The Galaxy S line and Galaxy Note... Both are considered flagships.

Cheers!!

I can't believe this. The selfie camera is nothing special. What a disaster, how could they do this to us? I demand a refund.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MrDeacon:
You'd demand a refund, because you're not pleased with the front camera? I'd say it takes about five seconds browsing reviews of the G6 to conclude that the front camera isn't exactly top notch. But it's not a manufacturing or quality fault.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sandy601:
I am trying to decide between OP5 and G6 (will be buying in India)

I am holding back on picking up a G6 because of these following reasons, so please through some light on the same

1) Software - I am worried that the software (not being stock or OP5 smooth) may become clumsy and slow the phone one I use it for 5-6 months (similar to samsung ones)

2) Battery life - OP5 has better battery than G6 (?). Also as OP5 keeps the battery cool while charging, it may have better long term battery life. My Nexus 4, Nexus 5 and note 4 battery lives reduced drastically to 1.5 hours SOT after a year, year and a half of use. So this has become a major issue for me.

3) Heat on SD821 - I have to rely on 3G almost all the time and I read in a couple of reviews that the SD821 heats up while constant 3G browsing or CPU intensive tasks rather quickly while no such problems with SD835 (OP5)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] S1611:
Yes, yes and yes.

I bought LG G6 in India a week back and Im not completely sold. Having used OPO and OPT, LG software in something else, you either hate it or you don't.

Except Display and Camera, 1+5 offers much more when compered to LG.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] sandy601:
thanks for the response..

how good is the display difference? and camera (apart from video, I mean still photography) of OP5 is at least on par with G6 right? (at least thats what I understood from the pocketnow's in-depth camera reviews of both devices)

and how is the battery life of G6 compared to your 3T?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ballmead:
Hook, line and sinker...
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] S1611:
Display differences depends on your preferences. I prefer LCD over AMOLED. You may not. But that jello affect gets my OCD going.

Camera difference comes down to processing algorithm done by OEMs. For comparison head over to GSMarena photo compare tool and don't let DXOmark scores fool you.

On the side note, If you have budget of G6, I would advise you to wait for Nokia 8 or buy HTC U11 now.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] shri080:
Well let me tell you my thoughts so far ( Just so that you know where my thoughts are coming from, I am a professional fashion photographer)

1) The design is pretty neat. In the sense, feels great in the hand, the screen to body ratio is good, no buttons on the front which make it look seamless.

2) The display itself is not great. Compared to the other LCD's like iPhone 7, Mi5, Mi6 and few other phones, G6 has the least impressive display. The colors look pale, text is not sharp enough, brightness should have been much much better and the viewing angles are poor, blacks are really poor again and you can see the light leak during the night when the always display is on. ( All this compared to the other standard LCD display phones and not compared to an AMOLED). I will never compare AMOLED displays to LCDs, as they both have their own advantages and disadvantages.

2) The camera is a little tricky here, The wide angle is really fun to use and the photos look like none other. But otherwise, its an okay camera, and definitely not good when it comes to the front camera.

3) Battery is fine, gets you through a day with moderate use.

4) Doesn't heat at least for me, i use it on 4G most of the times.

What i would suggest is, see the phone in person, compare it to other similar price range phones and then take a decision. I also have an S7 edge and i am definitely not as happy as i was with S7E. Thats a better phone IMO. I am not at all a fan of OPO, so cant comment on it. You can even consider the Honor 8 pro, which i saw in person and i think its a pretty solid phone too.

I bought the G6 as i felt there were no other options ( I hadn't see the Honor 8 Pro when i bought the G6 and my S7E was a literal pain in the a** to maintain as it did not have a proper tempered glass and that was the main reason why i decided to move away from samsung)

Edit : One more important reason i bought it was, i found an LG employee who bought the phone on 50% discount and sold it to me for 28K ( He had bought it for 23K). If you can catch hold of some LG employee, then it will be a great deal.
