Thats nice. So we can agree that pretty much all models will receive Oreo between April and May?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] mblakesmith:
I sure do hope so. I love my G5....Probably a little too much. I just bought all new parts for it and rebuilt it with a new screen, rear frame housing, camera, bottom chin, volume rocker circuit, and the small battery responsible for powering the volume rocker and phone vibration. I'm so glad I invested the money into making it be in mint condition, especially now that I have been told it's going to get updated to Oreo. Hope to see Oreo in April. Fingers crossed.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] MaxRusty:
Is something wrong with my phone? I didnt get any updates since April 2017. H860 version.

Yes, same story.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] DizturbedOne:
I think you're crazy to like this phone. I liked it for a couple months despite the terrible screen. And... My V30+ KIND OF is redeeming LG in my eyes right now (no LED notification light though? Really dumb move) But the G5 was a nightmare. Between me and my wife we went through four of these phones. 2 had motherboard problems and bricked themselves on stock firmware, one bootlooped, all had terrible light bleed around the edges, all had terrible burn in, the screen has a terrible blue hue, all had bluetooth bugs galore, all had the charging port problem. 2 started cracking at the rim where the battery meets the body and then had GPS problems. The aluminum started cracking around the headphone jack on one. I take extremely good care of my phones, this was all during average use. The "metal body" is actually mostly a plastic paint and very little aluminum.

The G5 I have now is a Frankenstein I built from 3 of those phones, but it still doesn't charge and I have to bump charge it 20 times before it'll charge for awhile, and fast charge doesn't work. As much as I wanted to like this phone (decent performance, great cameras, removable battery) I just can't. It's a manufacturing failure.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] jimrfraser:
Sounds like your life sucks.All good with my G5.Buddy provably bricked his phone then the first thing people do is blame the phone and all thier cons lol.Dont let this guy bring ya down.G5 rocks

Why there are 4-5 different custom Oreo Roms for LG G3, but no custom roms for G5?

G3 didn't even get android 6 officially, but devs released custom android 6 and 7 and now 8.1 for G3. and I'm shocked that there is no custom oreo for G5
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Viznu93:
G5 came with alot of variants for different regions... Mine cannot be bootloader unlocked thanks to lg India's ignorant and so called security policies.... So its really difficult for devs to test on each phone... Besides this phone has flopped in the market... So after so much hard work the Devs may get very few downloads.... I am really disheartened with lg's recent approaches and choice of variants... Even my sony z1c has 8.1 custom rom
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Tlailaxu:
i doubt we get Oreo. It even seems to run wonky as of revision 8.1, the G5 didn´t sell too well as others have pointed out so LG might not even bother at all, despite what carriers told so far via chat

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Pistacho123Lol:
So now I think there is a possibility for the H840 to get the update, right?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] nichtwer:
That is the Software section, I was looking for the Hardware one ( Settings > About the phone > Hardware > Model Number ) to check if this model was a different one. From the screenshot provided by other user it looks like this is the H860, which was updated months ago so it could be this was only released to a new region but no new models will be updated (hopefully I am wrong)
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] dba.rknair@gmail.com:
Mine is H860
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] nichtwer:
Thanks!

The upgrade for version H860 had already been released, so I assume you only got it a few days ago because it was waiting on the operator/region. This means chances of a new mode (such as H840) being upgraded are very low

How to fix screen burn issue in oreo
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] djskribbles:
What seems to be working for everyone with burn in (or image retention) is simply toning down the blue channel of RGB pixels. The G5's screen is very 'cool' or weighted to blue, so toning down blue will make it look better anyway IMO.

I'm not on oreo (still hoping it comes to RS988 ;\), but I use cf.lumen. It's better if you're rooted, but should do the job without. If you're not rooted, you could just use any blue filter app that you prefer as it basically tones down the blue light, which is what we want.

These are the settings i use in cf.lumen under custom:

R: 1.000

G: 0.929

B: 0.871

These settings aren't the minimum changes in-order to remove my image retention, they are changes made to make the white balance more neutral.

With root access, you can apply your changes at a system level. Without root access it just applies an overlay like most other apps AFAIK.

My Sister has just acquired a G5 H850 via an EBAY store in Australia which was advertised as being a Europe variant.

Using the LG SN & Carrier & Country Check on IMEI.info indicated it as having a Serial Number beginning with 66 and also being an Israeli variant as per the following details. Did your G5 also have its Serial No. beginning with 66?

MSN: 611KPPBxxxxxx (xxxxxx = Serial No.)

Firmware File: H85030e_00_OPEN_IL_OP_0206.kdz

Firmware Version: H85030E_00

Suffix: AISROP

Carrier Code: ISR

Country Code: IL

Country: Israel

However, the Software Info screen has exactly the same details as seen in the following image.

I would like to know what the DS1 and HQ, in the "Software version", represent. Anyone?

She tried an OTA Update but got the response seen in the following image.

After acknowledging the above message, the Update Center indicated there were 10 App updates as shown in the next image.

This H850 also has Evernote, Fascist Book & Instagram apps preinstalled.

Did you encounter the same information?

Thanks!!
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Astrako:
Seems LG has abandoned the G5. Lastest security patch for international variant is from november 2017. Like the G4, less than two years support for a high end device.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] mistery88:
Ive checked https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h850-firmwares/ and the latest firmware update released is :

PCL Mid. East/Africa IL/Israel	H85020j_00_OPEN_IL_OP_0112.kdzFile exist in our server	Android 7.x Nougat	2.47 G	2018-04-05	8 time

They are still updating it however it is not released regularly worldwide.... Personally i'm not going through all the trouble just to get google security updates.

for EEE Europe GB/United Kingdom	the most recent firmware is 20u 2018-01-18, can someone please confirm what Google Security update is installed on 20u?

I am waiting for the official Oreo update and will then be starting clean from scratch again.

Wondering why the hell Lg doesn't release a clear update roadmap with relative news update.

If some Lg social account and some carriers like T-Mobile and Verizon have confirmed they are working on Oreo, certainly they have received info about It from Lg.

Is It that difficult for Lg releasing these info in their main public website rather than sparse info here and there?

Their customer care would avoid a lot of time waste to reply all questions relative to this matter and the users would be more happy.[IMG="G5 Oreo Update Confirm"]https://i.imgur.com/Nolk7xj.jpg[/IMG]

Oreo is coming friends
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] petersaints:
The Oreo update cannot come soon enough.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] x17umj:
From LG support today:

In the pursuance of providing LG mobile users the most updated software and features, releasing Android Oreo to different LG devices that will be compatible to the software will definitely be taken into consideration.

However, this update would still be discussed by LG, Google Android, and the network carrier as we work system-to-system with them to update the software. Also, since this would require a lot of testing to make sure it will run smoothly and not cause any glitches on the device and to ensure that it will be compatible both hardware and currently installed apps; I’m afraid we can’t commit to an actual release date. I hope you understand. We’ll keep you posted as we receive information about this update, though. And we already raised this to the attention of our Software Team since various comments and suggestions were also received regarding this so that they can make sure to include the LG RS988 device in considering for Android Oreo update.

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Viznu93:
Xactly and LG india is so rude towards customers... They dont even want to allow users to unlock bootloader and stay mum when users report bugs and requests
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] petersaints:
It's good to receive an overdue security update. However, can't they just release Oreo already? It almost seems that a multi-billion dollar company like LG can only afford to have 1 guy working alone to port Oreo to old devices. Unless there's some VERY GOOD technical reason to be taking this long, which I'm sure there isn't because there are Snapdragon 82x-based devices that already have Oreo, this is just LG not caring about their customers at all.

At the end of the day someone with a G5 or G6, has already payed them so there's no gain in making them happy, right? Wrong! The most tech savy people will run away from LG, which is just a tiny bit of their customers. However, there are many tech savy people that advise others about purchases, so the effect can be much bigger if we just stop our friends and family from buying devices from brands with "crappy" support.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] RikuXander:
So I was told today by a Sasktel rep that Oreo will be dropping for the G5 in August along with a new security patch. So, hopefully not much longer. At least for the H831.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] cheeze.keyk:
august? that's a long wait. :confused:
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] RikuXander:
I don't consider that a long wait, seeing as it's 3 months and Oreo was released nearly 9 months ago. That means we're 3/4 there.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nimueh:
By the time the G5 gets O most other devices will probably already have P ... :rolleyes:

My contract was up anyway so I got a new one yesterday with the Honor View 10 ... I definitely won't get another LG again, nor will I recommend LG to anybody. They have great monitors or household appliances, but as far as I'm concerned they sure suck in the cellphone area. :rolleyes:
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Pistacho123Lol:
If its released in August, it will be approx. a year later since Oreo came out
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] cheeze.keyk:
Im also losing my hope with LG. I really love their wide angle cam, but their software support now are crappy not to mention their devices has select units only that can be bootloader unlockable. I guess im gonna look forward for the zenfone 5 coz they also have wide angle lens camera and their software support now are getting better and also dev friendly.
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nimueh:
I've never really used the wide angle cam much, so that's something I can live without. I went for the View 10 since it still has an external SD card, which is becoming quite the rarity lately lol. Besides, it has great specs for a good price and if Honor keeps their promises about kernel source etc. we should see quite a lot of development for it. Hell, it already has more O roms than our G5 :rolleyes: :laugh:
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] cascabel:
I do like the wide angle cam. It's something I use surprisingly often.

I haven't had any Honor phones. How are they? And alsi it uses Kirin chip, right? How is the performance compared to similar SD's?
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] Nimueh:
No idea, I've never had an Honor before and don't have mine yet since I just ordered it + the contract. :laugh:

Main reason I went for it is the Open Source Program since I hope that'll make sure there'll be lots of development. Well and the fact it has an external SD card ... not many phones have that nowadays and for ME it's an absolute must :cool:

[LG G5 Questions & Answers] ZuneYT:
I don't get LG at all why doesn't someone on their team do a roadmap? Someone mentioned before on here, most phones now have most likely or even received received Oreo but we're still sitting on Nougat. What doesn't make sense is that LG will literally dish out a new phone every couple of months and show off their minuscule features but will take months and years to release an major update or even a security patch to the phones. I'm sorry but I can't deal the fact that their update schedule is so messy, they only just handed out the oreo updates to the G6 just recently and that phone came out last year it should of gotten oreo and security patches earlier same goes to the G5 as well. It just seems like LG don't really care about their fan base at all.
