V20 is notorious in my country to be having "bad screen" , worse GPS accuracy ever in a flagship and no updates. It's being sold anywhere in between USD equivalent of 180$ to 200$. All because when it comes to LG, they never make a device right since LG G2 times.... I'd love to just have a stable build without that annoying debug unlocked bootloader screen and having root access. Nougat or Oreo, security patches or not... I fell for the cheap device for a flagship trap and now I have to cope with alot of small problems. On the other hand, flagships like OnePlus 5T or Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 are being sold for whoopy 750$ equivalent or 600$ equivalent respectively.... I might as well look forward to NOKIA this time but I dunno yet if they ship with the same locked crap like these main brands do...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] joaovictorsouza:
It's about Oreo, security, bugs and so on. First of all it's because it's an expensive phone and that many here bought at launch, and that's supposed to be a premium handset. My V20 has battery drain, screen retention and other problems that have not been corrected so far with updates, and for me it is absurd that they postpone an update that we should receive not to fix the bugs that the incompetent have left and that disturbs us every day, but to try to hinder root, bootloader unlock and so on.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] tech_infinity:
Yes it's sad for me to see after buying such an expensive device like LG V20, no updates in India since October 2017 :(
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ahmed Xperia p:
Sorry but i can't agree

I am using for last 6 months, going strong , got 2 security updates ( currently at march 1 patch).V20 has one of the fastest GPS lock , i use GPS daily and it gets fix within seconds.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Creative_X:
If LG plans to update phones out of US. I am not sure about that. They are the worst OEM for SW support. Who cares of screen retention and outdated OS.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dark_prince:
By the looks of your reply you are on H918. I'm on claro H910 which has nothing after 1st December 2016 patch. Also, regarding GPS, have you tried it with Device only with Qualcomm izat disabled? mine doesn't get any more accurate than 50 meters out in the open, even outside the busy city.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ahmed Xperia p:
Yes H918. Well Once required i use it on High Accuracy mode and does the job in seconds. Today got another security patch and it's now on 1 May 18. Hopefully H918 is going to be 1st in line to get Oreo ( if it happens any day)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] KUSOsan:
I'm on H918 and high accuracy is the only way I can get a lock in a decent amount of time. If it's on device only it'll sometimes get a lock under 30 seconds (rarely) and other times it'll take over 5 minutes.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ssnova:
I think we need to keep complaining to LG, in a firm, yet polite and steady way in order to be productive. List all the known issues you have... personally I do not have the screen burn in issue. Load up their mail boxes, this should give them the message.

Sure, we're just little guys, but if enough people complain, they'll get the message at least, also it's good to compare them when complaining, comparing other phones with a Snapdragon 820 who received updates, and that you're comparing LG to that company that does do the updates (in all honesty, every OEM sucks, other than the google "released" phones.. which ironically LG makes for them!).

What we really need is some press attention, or someone from one of the major publishes to write an article calling the OEM's out, giving them the publicity and attention they need to wake up.

Does anyone care anymore? LG has got to be in the top 3 for worst support from a major global company.

Thanks for the update, will wait for the next 3-4 month bump from this one.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] goulash2011:
Funny thing is by than it would almost be a whole 10 months without security updates also(h990DS)...what a joke of a company.

And how i are they so sure its the 9th how can they pin point it to an exact date 4 months from now..

Lesson learned.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] daniLaLaLaLaLa:
Back on October 2016, LG V20 was the FIRST Android flagship device to launch and run with Android Nougat.. it's even surpassed google very owned device at that time "Nexus"..

2 years later, in 2018.. LG V20 was the LAST one in flagship device category to receive Android Oreo and more pathetic, it is the very first major upgrade for LG V20 after almost 2 years from it's launching days..

wewwww~

I guess, i'm sticking with my V20 until it dies and go for another company or returning back to Apple soon..

no LG G7 for me or another device from LG.. Seriously, they are getting worser and worser from day to days !
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Andy Chi:
If LG doesn't release OREO to LG V20, I will never purchase an LG phone ever again.

This phone is the BEST of a dead breed, a phone that has EVERYTHING.... At least let the phone die with Oreo and I will be very happy. If not, Hello OnePlus, I'm back and here to stay prolly FOREVER.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] hillg001:
Brian - did you ever get an ATT H918 offered up to experiment with, to see if you could port Oreo onto it? I have a spare (stock recovery / non rooted) / locked boot loader) if none ever got provided to you .... that is, if you think there's a chance you can port Oreo onto it. You realize it's practically an act of congress to unlock the boot loader now days on these (ADB gymnastics necessary). I can use my H918 in the mean time. If you'd like to give it a try, let me know. PM me or what ever.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Astrako:
Well this brand has became a joke speaking about updates. They promised Nougat for G4 and it only got officially in Korea. G5 and V20 share many stuff, including the horrible delay in updates and awful built quality. Both "high end" LG phones from 2016 has been massacred for this brand. I am sorry for those that paid 700€ for any of these devices. Ah, and G6 updates hasn't been better. Just very few updates even with security patches, and the late Oreo update finally is full of bugs.

Of course many including me won't consider to buy any device of this ****ty brand anymore. I hope LG mobile division break some day and go out of this game.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] goulash2011:
I feel the same also, even though the v20 met all me needs, iam just dissapointed in the scarce securiry updates it has received.

Frankly i hate been left behind, i was very enthusiastic when i purchased this in mid 2017 was hoping for great things from LG.

But i was uneducated in regards to LG's treatment towards there models.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] kaluna00:
I love my LG v20. I think that LG was scared of this device because it was so great and had everything. Great camera, removable battery, SD card, second screen, Flagship device, Etc..

I think they're simply trying to out mode it, because there's no reason to switch to one of their new devices from this one.. just my two cents
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] 84guy:
My wife's Sprint Galaxy S6 just got oreo. Going back to samsung, will never buy an LG product again. Slow downs, freezes and now extremely late updates, the v20 has never even had a major update

Great to see at least some news about the update.

However, when I realize that our device is going to be outdated again immediately as the final release of Android P will be announced shortly afterwards...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dark_prince:
And with that, V20's final and last update will be perhaps stopped with 8.1 release by LG.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] X-Nemesis:
The V20 will be lucky to even see 8.1, I'm betting.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dark_prince:
So after all this "grace period" they arent even released 8.1 ? just the 8.0 ?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] X-Nemesis:
Only because it seems Oreo 8.0 is the version being released by T-Mo for it's other phones and not 8.1. Someone correct me if I'm misinformed.

I have a update notification on my phone right now, do you think it's oreo. I haven't taken it yet because I'm thinking of rooting it.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ak7J4:
Most likely not. If it is over 1gb or 700mb+ , take a screen shot and post it. If not its most likely a security patch.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] scorpio76r:
it's 133.mb, most likely a security patch I guess.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ssnova:
So T-mobile says "expected in August"... just a ballpark, better than no news and at least it's "expected", I also wouldn't be surprised if it was delayed... I wish they would've skipped 8.0 and went to 8.1...

After this gets released, I'd like to keep in contact with LG and push for a P release since 2 years is usually the end of support for most OEM makers. All Android Phone makers(with the exeception of the Google release phones-made by LG) suck at software updates, but some just suck at it more, like LG.

....having said all this... I'd probably still consider a V50(not V40 as it's too soon) if they keep the same design language with a 3.5 mm jack with some upgrades to their speakers. Why you might ask? Again, only if they keep what makes this phone special... a 6.0+ inch screen, latest and greatest SOC, state of the art camera, expandable memory, and especially the quad dac 3.5mm headphone jack. If they infringe on any one of those features, I won't consider it (I loathe and despise how so many new flagship phones are ditching the 3.5mm jack!). They might've taken away the IR blaster and the replaceable battery, but I can forgive that, as long as it's waterproof and they vastly improve the speakers too... I'd consider it for my next phone.

At this point my V20 is used as my multi-media player with some extra features, including a good camera... and with that quad dac, it's still a valuable device to me... as a phone, as a web browser? Not so much(especially not as a web browser since it doesn't have the latest security patches).
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tim3tripp3r:
One of the Canadian (Fido?) carriers has said that in August you can expect a Oreo update for their V20. So we shall see what happens then.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jmichael2497:
i'm considering upgrading to the tmo lg v20 though from the http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=NAME&search=lgh91 listings, i was guessing att would get oreo first.

either way, i don't see too much reason to worry about using it as a web browser since (unlike the fruit company) browsers engines are not built in to the os and alternative engines can be installed.

on my current device i'm running and ol cm with built in browser package disabled, latest chrome won't run so i'm running latest firefox instead, but ymmv.

still debating conservatively easy upgrade to samsung s5 running LOS vs upgrade to stock lg v20 rather than compromise on features with bigger upgrade to stock moto z2 force...

they all have varying levels of software support via lineageos or carrier to run oreo, but like you mentioned, newer devices start removing 3.5 jack (and sometimes sd), sealing battery away (and fm radio), so... hard to want to upgrade.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] dudeawsome:
Well not necessarily true the T-Mobile had it in Dev for a while just haven't released the code and seems to me T-Mobile gets security updates faster

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] deepaktalwalker:
They have been fooling around users of LG V20 by giving such unrealistic targets of Oreo upgrade since early this year for May 18 end then June 18 end and lastly September 18 end. Now what offing is remainder months July 18 & August 18. LG product security team is constituted or made of big bafoons lol....:laugh:
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Andy Chi:
You ain't lying bro lol. :highfive:

I powerfully believe LG wants the V20 dead and used within society at the least as possible. They are trying to drown out the phone with the problems it has like screen retention/overheating/internal design failure. They are neglecting the V20 like they did to the Optimus G Pro, G2 G3 G4 G5. All those phones went to sh!!+. LG isn't just fooling us with "update" dates for V20 all this year, they been sh!!++ing every other phone they have for years. They are a truly bad company. Samsung Had major international problem with the Note7 burning up but Samsung squashed that QUICKLY. LG needs to die in every category except flat screen tvs. I also realized that even by a miracle if LG releases Oreo to V20, it doesn't make any difference at all wether Oreo is ARB or not. Rootable or not, Oreo won't fix the screen retention, Oreo won't physically fix the internal design with CPU heatsink overheating, can't replace the lcd and expect screen retention to not ever come back. This phone is DOOMED. I have 3 V20s, each from Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint, they all the same... No escape.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] deepaktalwalker:
You seem to be terribly upset with LG Andy Chi. Not only you but every user of LG V20 is sailing in the same boat. You are also not lying but saying every word true. But LG V20 is the unique GSM device till now and it was never before & also it will be never again. Fact is that we are gonna receive Oreo in August 18 for sure & we should expect Android 'P' in the couple of months there after.....not day dreaming....LOL...:laugh:

You are very correct that Oreo or Android 'P' will not correct hardware problems of LG V20 at all & we all have to live with technical failures of LG for no fault of us till 5G arrives that only is gonna make RIP LG V20 for me for sure as even today I do not find any device comparable with it when we count on features of it even though LG V20 was released in last couple of months in the year 2016. That's all I wanted to pen down here.....:)

Only issues I found were the original LG Music installed from an APK file now crashes and audio duck occuring when playing music (researched this and turned off 'Obey Audio Focus' in the GoneMAD player to solve).

Here's the issue: let's the say the phone still has some good 30% of juice in battery. I open the stock camera app and take a picture, then it shuts down immediately, displaying the message that it's reached 0% of power and it will go off in thirty seconds. When off, if I then hook it up to the power adapter, the phone immediately displays the same 30% that it originally had at the beginning, so there's no problem if I turn it back on. It happens very often. Android version is stock (7.0), and EMUI is stock as well (5.0.1). Phone is FRD-L04.
