I can't remember where it was. I think somewhere amongst G6 oreo discussions someone posted a screen from an LG support chat and there it was written about august update for the DS. Don't think of it as a confirmed official statement. They might well release it soon.

I feel satisfied with the oreo update. Sure, we didn't get as many features as we'd have liked, but oh well. Battery life is better, stability is not a problem and performance is great. I can't find a reason why I'd want to go back to nougat.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ken C:
Out of curiosity. What features didn't you see?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iksor:
i did go back. Have to wait for EE to push update, as after flashing kdz i lost WIFI Calling... If i didn't need it, oreo worked very nice. At least for that few hours i had it.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ProGameAndy:
No ThinQ Features, so AI Camera and the new build in general lacks camera optimizations

HAHA thats hilarious. I will get rid of my 870DS by August. Good bye LG. Will either get a Pixel or Oneplus. Never LG again.

My wife's U Ultra has seen Oreo since mid March and my 870DS... None..

Hopefully we still see Oreo sometime this week or at least next week, at least before the month of May ends. Let's cross our fingers..:laugh:
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GrovPastaSwag03:
Hello, I have a question about upgrading to oreo. I've read that it's a good idea to factory reset when upgrading android versions. But I don't know if I should factory reset before or after the update, and if I should backup before or after the update. Thank's for help :)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
After

- edit -

My bad, haven't read carefully...

Reset after the update, backup obviously before the update
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] BiG_FooT:

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GrovPastaSwag03:
OK thanks for the help.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrbeem:
It can be enabled on open EU. I did it. Just need root and some prop files. I used my carrier's prop files from nougat and it works :)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] iksor:
I can't root, my bank app would't work with root..
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ProGameAndy:
Use Magisk to hide root for the banking app
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDW 100:
Better than no Oreo I guess... Although it'll be a year behind google at that point.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrbeem:
Magisk hide doesn't help? I'm pretty sure it would :)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Koong1:
Yeah. Better than no Oreo. I am do switching to Huawei after this. LG after sales maintenance and support sucks.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDW 100:
Interesting decision, I'm wondering, why Huawei? I agree they're better for that than LG but I'm going with Google or OnePlus next, since they only release flagships, therefore getting great after sales maintenance (updates etc.) and support.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Koong1:
In my area Google or OnePlus isn't readily available. I would love to own a Google Pixel. Huawei because they use their own SoC (Kirin 980 upcoming) also their camera is superb. To be honest I only reason I got a LG G6 was for its wide angle camera. The puny battery life and the lousy OS support. Ugh.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] asingha94:
They make such a good device, good hardware..All go for nothing, total waste.. Such a bad software support..I owned G2,G3,G4,G5 now G6..G6 will be my last.. I'm really frustrated now.. Faith lost
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fegitoli:
I'm not too sure what's missing. Given that Oreo wasn't that big of an upgrade from Nougat, I can't really say that a lot is missing. I just expected a bit more from an update that was WAY too long overdue.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] yohannes.panduputra:
Still no oreo for H870DS until now.. so fed up..
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DearestMartha:

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Koong1:
Thanks for the info. I don't really unlock bootloader. I only mess around with ADB commands and such. I tend to keep my phones in their original stock rom. Had a very bad rooting and unrooting a Galaxy S6, ended up bricking it. Lol.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GrovPastaSwag03:
Ok, so got oreo on my H870, and tried out substratum with andromeda. Worked like a charm until I used the default dark substrtum theme. I got a warning saying, 'unfortunatly system UI has stopped' or something like that, along with a black screen. Couldn't do anything besides rebooting the phone, and that didn't help. So I had to factory reset my phone from recovery. I'm just trying to warn you guys when using substratum with the andromeda plugin on the g6.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] asingha94:
Exactly. I've the same model. I wouldn't have bothered if it wasn't a flagship device. They couldn't even maintain their flagship devices, now think about their low segment devices. No wonder nobody buys them.

---------- Post added at 05:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 AM ----------

Huawei is also no good.I think it's worse than LG. They are one day gimmick. Now best options to buy are Pixel, One plus or be settled to IPhone.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Koong1:
True true. Pixel or OnePlus is a better choice. Sorry but I hate apple with a passion.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDW 100:
I've heard some people say that you need to revert back to the stock LG theme, or it will cause issues. Could this have been the problem?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vinchent:
Doesn't work. You need Youtube Red for that (even if I've come across mixed opninions about this.)

If you want to try PiP, just open GMaps and start using navigation.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] GrovPastaSwag03:
I read that aswell. And I changed to the stock LG theme, from the black theme, I usually use, before I installed substratum and Andromeda. However, I actually managed to theme the substratum app itself. It was when I tried to theme the notification shade, that SystemUI crashed. Also, booting into safe mode didn't do anything.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MS.:
Flash Magisk, then install module called "YouTube Vanced".

Edit> apparently you can use Youtube Vanced without Magisk/root. Google it.

H870 not bound to a carrier gets update through LG Bridge.

No update through the device update menu though...
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Koong1:

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] -FP:
Europe, Spain.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MuttleyMB:
Just debranded few months ago and I got the update, via LG Bridge, as soon as available. I think you do not have to waste your time waiting branded software. May be it will never arrive or they release updates too late!
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] -FP:
Tried updating through LG Bridge. It got stuck at 5% and after 30 minutes it said the phone can't be updated... classic :good:
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] BiG_FooT:
Backup you stuff.

Factory reset your device.

Then try it again through LG bridge

Otherwise download KDZ firmware for your device and update through LG up software application. Use the 'Uppercut' version! And Google for instructions
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] yohannes.panduputra:
Well, I'll say, if us, H870DS still hasn't received oreo by 30 May the latest then that's the end for our phone's journey. We have to accept the fact that maybe our phones are the ones who will never see oreo at all.. thanks to the dual SIM..
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] -FP:
Will give that a shot. I think the problem is when the phone restarts and gets into the firmware update screen. You can hear the USB unplug/plug sound made by windows. From there it doesn't do anything.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Darius_bd:
I had the same thing. It was the cable. So I changed the cable and the usb port while the cellphone was in the "updating COM 3" screen and after a couple of minutes and following the LG Bridge instructions, windows recognized the phone and kept updating (now via COM 6) and now I'm rocking Oreo B)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] cabal06ba:
Or it will take until June/July/August... I don't think there is much point in blindly speculating on things to happen or not to happen that are outside one's own influence and knowledge. So the only

fact

we have to accept is that we (DS owners) are one of the last remaining premium phone owner groups that's still without Oreo

at present

!
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Lisandro_917:
Why didn't they upgrade the Always On Display to be like that of the V30's? And no, it's not about the screen being LCD. Confirmed: The LG G7 has the V30's AOD stickers despite being LCD!!
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] yohannes.panduputra:
Well the thing is.. it's a shame to have a premium phone without a proper software support. That's a pity for all of us..
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] eitama:
I had G2, G4 until in G2 touch and screen failed (G2 - yellow stripes and crazy touch) (G4 - Mainboard dead)

I really loved LG for what they did with G2/G4. In G2 it was a new era of slim bezels (Yes not like today...) - Also they had buttons on back.

On G4, the camera in PRO mode was just great, and I liked the phone a lot for changeable battery. But TO BE HONEST, I didn't know what I was missing.

If you look at my XDA user history and posts, you will see I was involved with Samsung, LG, Nexus etc.... Even some coding, a lot of flashing - Not really a developer, but I did decompile some stuff and write a few Xposed extensions. So I am kind of a power user.

When my wife's G4 died, she asked for a new phone, she kinda didn't know what she wanted, and together we chose the G6 for her. Stupid decision. The phone lags like hell, battery doesn't really hold up, and the Cameras while being nice on paper, have too much noise filtering which causes paint like photos in just a hint of low-light. Only now Oreo... and not 8.1...

Oh boy what a mistake. Just a little bit after that, my HTC 10 kinda got me wanting for something else, it was my first HTC, and not a very impressive one. I got the U11.

What a game changer. The overall experience of the U11 leaves me delighted after every touch.

So to related to what you just wrote :

If you don't want a Pixel, or not a one plus, you most surely don't have to SETTLE for an iPhone. I'd look for a new HTC U12+ or even the U11.

I don't know which version you have but my phone is buttery smooth & gives hell good battery life, always above 5Hrs SOT.LG makes pretty solid hardware.

I had S7 Edge too & ended up with pink line issue & that's why later I bought G6.Only complain I have is their software update.It's cancer.

I was expecting oreo to end the idle phone consumption
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Koong1:
What is your idle consumption like? Refer to better battery stats thread for tips on battery consumption.

I have awesome idle battery consumption. 0.5% per hour overnight. For our phones, idle consumption should be around 0.7% per hour.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] eitama:
I just snapped a few photos of the info you were curious about. When I touch this G6 I can feel the snapinnes of the touch, but it lags too much when switching apps, and performing tasks. The only remedy that made it a little bit better was force hardware rendering.

See attached...

Seriously, I'm a long time user, I know how I/O lag looks like. Something is up with that phone. I really wish it was silky smooth. I just asked my wife how the battery is, but she is now mostly home with our 3 months old baby.

You could try to flash H870 open KDZ. I once flashed Claro branded KDZ to my EU LG G5 without issues so I think it's possible to do it in the opposite direction on the H870

Not really, the Brazilian H870 has not yet received Oreo. They say that it will be available only in July.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] yohannes.panduputra:
At least your phone will still see Oreo by then, whilst us, H870DS owners, still in a limbo and maybe we won't see Oreo at all. In fact it's June now and we haven't seen Oreo coming as yet.

I guess, I'd better have to accept the fact that LG has abandoned us H870DS owners from receiving Oreo..
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] asingha94:
How could they abandon man!I seriously...

They haven't even provided a single major OS upgrade.

Although I'm bit paranoid now. Thinking to sell this c@ap device. I'm really getting fed up. Don't have money for pixel or new one plus. Thinking to settle to a cheap iPhone.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDW 100:

The sensor is not dirty, and has no scratches, cracks etc. Tbh I've had enough of LG's terrible quality control and heavy (and late) software, so if it comes to my only option being a reset, I'd be happy to move on to a OnePlus or Pixel or Nokia.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] eitama:
Well, even if it's not perfect, you can still strive for perfect. For example HTC u11 has decent battery, excellent camera, great stock experience, Android 8.0 for months, and a smooth experience that no one else has.

What does LG G6 have?

Lags. Delayed updates, unclear update schedule, camera noise suppression through the roof resulting in oil like pictures, and LG UI which we could argue about if it's a good thing or bad thing.

Yes, I know some people don't have lags on G6, sadly my wife's phone has them.

I had to play with stuff in developer settings like force hardware gpu and other crap that I'd really like to forget.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] svasalatii:
What do you guys do with your phones that they lag? I own g6 for half a year and have seen no lags at all. What do i do wrong? As regards update to Oreo: what the hell is not working on your 7.0-running g6?

Sure, i also want to have my phone running on the most recent OS. But, android phones are not produced by a single manufacturer. If you want to have such, go and buy iPhone or Pixel.

Nothing special, browser, Facebook, WhatsApp, gmail.

When you buy top of the line model, you expect SW updates to arrive in a timely manner. Not wait and wait and wait, whole LG keeps producing more phones and more models ThinQ V30S and f*** existing owners.

Maybe you don't care, but i do. That's why like the other dude said, I will not support LG again by buying another phone.

And believe me, I caused many people to buy G2 and G4. But i now know better.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Flynnchen82:
Hi there,

just my own short first impression:

I bought this phone as temporary device because i need to send my XZ2c to repair. Price has dropped to 315€ for me. Before i almost always used htc since years.

Well even with U11 you do not get april security. So this is good for eu devices. Oreo came late but here it is (for ss device).

After first setup i had a severe battery drain but i guess only the percentage was wrong. After loading to 100% it works ok, though not outstanding.

Lags some small here and there but i'm used to sd835 and sd845, so no surprises and i had already much worse experiences (e.g. with Samsung Galaxy).

All in all it is a decent first experience, but we will see in daily usage.

When I ask for Google Assistant to "show me pictures" of something, it's giving me a message saying that "image search" is not yet available.

Any thoughts about why this is happening and/or how to fix it? Thanks!
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] joel_tdl:
Installed and running very well.

Fingerprint still works.

Camera has bright mode now but it's not that good. There isn't AI features (at least I couldn't find them)

Google assistant has Google Lens (idk if it's an Oreo feature)

When you turn on the phone it says "LG G6THINQ"
