After much reading, the only tangible benefits provided by Oreo are security updates, and possibly a fix for the GPS. I saw multiple people comment on the G5 Reddit that after Oreo they had no issues locking GPS anymore, with better accuracy. Still not perfect, but better than on nougat. Maybe they tuned the GPS firmware to deal with the higher resistance of corroded contacts that some phones develop.

Battery life is reported to be worse by most it seems. I get 2-3 hours of screen on time over a day of using just wifi, 1.5-2 hours over a day of mobile data use. Pretty pathetic. I just got the phone and upgraded the day I got it, so I have no reference of how nougat was. I have a lot of stuff disabled to save battery too.

Install open kdz with LGUP.

1. Install LGUP with H850 drivers on computer

2. Download kdz from lgfirmwares site (NLD is the open for Europe)

3. Turn off phone and go into download mode (holding volume up while connecting phone to USB)

4. In LGUP choose kdz file to install

5. Profit.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] guskuss:
So if I do this, will it erase all my data or just update my firmware without touching my personal data?

I tried but my device keeps rebooting after showing the "NT version error" . On same screen there is the new setup assistant. I think I lost all my data. I have the H85020k but there is no Oreo for this Hardware, so I tried the H85030a_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0910.

Is there a way to get rid of the reboot?

Should I keep this firmware or go back to Nougat? Why are there so many Oreo versions but mine doesnt exist?

Thanks!

Hi guys ! Happy Halloween ... After flashing my H860 AME model with H860 v30a TWN kdz ( i did a dirty flash with LG UP Upgrade option not the Refurbish option ) i get these 2 errors after Every restart BUT everything works fine ... I know the kdz is for Taiwan not middle east version but there will be no versions other than SEA and TWN ... My question is : the errors will disappear if i reflash my phone with Refurbish option ?

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] tremalnaik:
If the model is exactly the same (H860 without any other letter, and both with the same number of sim slots) you should get a completely working phone, although some settings specific to indian operators will be missing and you might get a NTCODE error.

By the way, the phone will be functional.

When I finished updating my H860 to Oreo I saw an unlock LOGO when it booted up. What does that mean?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Diomorgan:
That your bootloader is

unlocked

:)

Is an alarm to say that software was modded, for 2nd hand seller/repair centre .

Since the booloader was unlocked with a file requested to LG, they even may have (I always asked myself if actually they have...since you can relock bootloader...) your phone serial in a blacklist on their database and could refuse to repair it.

Or if you buy a second hand phone and you se the unlock logo adv you can ask the seller to refund you since the phone is not in its original SAFE state (malware/backdoors installed and hidden on your phone, for example).

If you see that logo, you should already know that, since you might have askedthe unlock file to LG.

Actually that logo didn't appears on very eariler software version...and if you update with KDZ it "should" relock your bootloader erasing TWRP and let the phone turn on without any alert.

This bootloader alert nowdays is preventing the repair under warranty even on cheapest MTK phones!!!

And MTK has even a 9 seconds countdown before it star (even LG will pause a few seconds do show the alert) !!!

It's very boring but it seems that can't be fixed :(
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] mac20dnangel:
I never requested to have my phone unlock its bootloader and LG did not even released any bootloader unlock to any H860 devices. How come it is unlock then?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Diomorgan:
If you are not roothed/TWRP it's weird that upgrade changed your bootloader to unlocked.

Anyhow you can find a way to relock bootloder, just be sure it won't delete all your stuff (as it does when you unlock it!).
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] hp5942:

After the oreo update, the burn in has become incredibly steonger! It gotten really really bad!
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] mac20dnangel:

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Excalibur20:
So you guys have the same problem... I thought that the burn in was only happening to my phone and I was going to get a screen replacement given that the G5 ones are so cheap. Do you think it would help?

---------- Post added at 04:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 AM ----------

I doubt that the SE variant will ever get Oreo given it was made for smaller markets and even if will get it Oreo will already be irrelevant. Sorry.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ExtraDan:
I don't think replacing the screen would be a good investment considering how long time ago the G5 was released, the device is becoming old and I'm sure it has started showing the signs of hardware lag for every LG g5 holder starting from a few months ago.

If I were you, Id just deal with the burn in until you finally make the decision to upgrade your device to something up to datel, even if the burn-in in oreo is far more extreme than in previous android versions

I think lg g5 is the worst flagship phone ever i m not going to buying any of the lg device
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ExtraDan:
Neh I already was using the blue light filter app, been using it for two years now, it's just that the burn-in in the oreo update is far more extreme and tough, even with the filter on.

I have mine on 10% and most of the screen burned into the screen, on nougat I had my app on 5% and I only had just a very few selection of things that would burn into the screen, like the battery, clock and corners of the phone

I asked for a replacemente in the chinis-tech block in Paris (were the prices are pretty low) and they asked me for about €90...I can buy a refurbished LG for 130-15...changing the screen is pretty nonsense (even if it's a 3rd arty one with less probability to find the burn-in again!)

Eh, dont get too excited with the oreo update, it sucks and brings near almost to no change.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] GrievousMcG:
Got the same thing. Was pleasantly surprised to get another software update along with the latest security patch.

For me it was most welcomed as there was three issues with the original Oreo update mainly with Twitter (the app would shut down if i tried to read a tweet), Facebook (couldn't attach a photo from the phone's gallery as it couldn't find it) and Whatsapp (the app would shut down whenever I tried to send an attachment). Since the latest update has came along, all those problems has went away.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ExtraDan:
That's great! I think I had the same thing with Twitter! But only at the beginning, I think it fixed itself after a few days before I even got the new software update.

I don't any see improvement with the battery power consumption, but I must admit, I have it better than other users since I just upgraded my battery to a third party battery and I no longer suffer from an incredible battery drain and inaccurate battery percentage unlike my other two genuine LG batteries, my phone no longer dies at 15-25%! Now I can use my battery till it drops down to 1%!
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] GrievousMcG:
Where did you get your third party battery from? Might replace the battery to see if the phone last longer on one charge.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ExtraDan:
After some long research and conflicted decision on which trusty battery I should get, I came with the conclusion to order the YISHDA (2800mph) battery from Amazon

I think I have been using the battery at least as far as almost 2 months, and so far it's been great! I'm getting way more juice than my previous two genuine batteries that have reduced to only lasting me 2 hours of use.

The new yishda battery have been giving me little more than 4 hours (or 5 hours, I didn't check my battery periodically cause I didn't want to worry about it anymore) of use on nougat, and 3-4 hours on oreo so far from my impressions, unless I redude my screen to 80% or below, I can get up to an incredible 7 hours hours of use depending on the brightness, nothing I could achieve with my previous batteries.

The YISHDA battery is showing me accurate percentage as well from what I can tell, and my phone no longer dies mid 15% to 21%, actually my genuine batteries gotten so bad that the reason why I had to pull the trigger and buy a new battery was because my phone already started shutting down at 30%.

So far I have been having a quality experience.

I actually think the manufacture quality of the YISHDA batteries are way better than LG's.

That makes me realize that just the LG genuine batteries genuine, doesn't really mean they are quality, who knows what company lg relies on to make their batteries, could be worse than any other shady Chinese manufacture.

I think Im so far quite happy with my yishda battery and it was worth the purchase.

I'm still testing them though as I saw a review or two of people who had their battery drop performance or die after 3 months or something like that, so if you're ordering a bettery of your own, just consider that it could be hit or miss, one way or another, yishda offer what I believe, an 18 month of warranty? I haven't done an RMA with them yet, but if they cause any trouble, just know that you also have the security of amazon spotting your butt if your battery fails.

So yeah, that was a great purchase and most of the community suffers from battery drain and 15%-27% shutdowns, so I think it's important that I say that all of you, who suffer from major battery problems, you should all upgrade to the yisdha battery on Amazon.

The yisdha battery is the masiah you're looking for.

Do not trust the genuine batteries.

The YISHDA batteries are the batteries you can trust!

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

And the MOST important feature, unlike other third party batteries, the YISHDA comes with an NFC reader!

My LG G5 H850 finally got the Oreo update yesterday. Overall, I'm pleased. I haven't noticed battery draining, but there's something that really gets on my nerves. Every time I turn on my Mobile data (I don't like it being turned on all the time) I get a message "Data charges may apply" with 2 options below - "Cancel" and "Turn off". What's even funnier is that when I turn it off I get another stupid system message "Turn off mobile data?" with the 2 options "Cancel" and "Turn off". I can't believe that there's no checkbox where I can just put a tick a STOP GETTING THIS STUPID, MEANINGLESS MESSAGE that serves no purpose at least for me, since I'm having unlimited data usage plan and therefore, it's completely pointless and tedious efffort for me to confirm a task as simple as turning mobile data on. I definitely want to meet the person who thought it's a great idea to add this piece of crap.
