[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] scapeinator1:
The G6 did get a bunch of BT codecs added to the developer options. I think it's just par for the course for Oreo but it's nice that LDAC is finally there. The software overall seems improved. I have to say this gets me very excited for the G7. It bodes well for the future of LG software. I think they might be getting their act together.

There are some other features that I know we got first on the korean models like being able to pin the phone to a specific app where you can't switch the app without authenticating. This is great for letting your friends pick music without them being able to see your private messages.

Changes that I can find so far ( I will update this as I find things):

1. Night mode finally gets a scheduler and you can adjust intensity. Thank god. Basic feature that should have been in the original release

2. Camera interface looks different. The shutter buttons especially. I think they just wanted to make it look a little better/what the G7 version will look like.

3. In many apps you can now hide the navigation buttons at will. The setting is saved per app. And you can set it from the app itself. It's very unintrusive just a small button on the left side of nav bar.

4. App scaling can be done in app now with a button at the bottom left to go 18:9 fullscreen. Once that is done, the button becomes a hide navbar button as described above.

5. All the BT codecs you could want are here in the developer settings. You can tinker with it in depth.

6. There are media server, LG air drive, and mirror link settings that I don't remember seeing before.

7. When I lock the screen there is a kind of zoom in whilst fading out animation that is new.

8. Not sure if this is an oreo thing, but in the developer options you can set DPI at will. The default for me was 423. I'm gonna try out 480. This does not appear to interfere with anything and PIP mode is the same size it seems with twitch and youtube regardless of your DPI.

9. The clear all animation is different. The apps now slide to the right when cleared instead of the pop up message from before.

This is all I've noticed for now. I'll have more comments on battery and performance in the coming days. If you have anything you want me to check let me know.

Are the Graphy features of the V30 there?

Is the Alway on Display more customizable?

What about camera quality?

Some review about Android Oreo on LG G6.

1. Added key features of android 8.0: App shortcuts, Smart text selection, Autofill, Picture-in-Picture, Notification Dots, Instant Apps, new Emoji...

2. Added some features: Gaming tools, night view, hide navigation bar, new settings, new camera UI, LDAC.

3. Overall experience: More stable, battery usage has been improved.

Cons: AR core still not supported yet.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
Do you know if LG implemented a Samsung-like system to prevent scroll in some apps?

I'll try to explain it better, if i use telegram without navbar (on Fulmics ROM) when i try to show the navbar with a swipe the chat scrolls, but on S8 it doesn't happen...

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] svasalatii:
1. Ai photo stuff will be brought as part of the summer update.

2. AoD remains as it has been.

3. Compared to what? Camera app UI has been reworked, but who knows how it performs.

And guys, stop asking questions you may just google. Is it so difficult? AFAIK, it's easier to google than open xda, find appropriate thread and ask the question that has been already answered.

May the force and patience be with you!

Can you post these with associated screenshots too.. That would be really helpful.. Thank you in advance :)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Krysdyan:
1. First of all he told us to ask, if we want to know something.

2. Graphy feature isn't the same as the AI thing. I know that the AI thing will come later, maybe with 8.1, but the Graphy feature is in manual mode, to have several presets of manual settings.

3. It's possible to figure out the performance of the camera by testing it. For example, compare it with previous photos with old cam app or with the gcam.

4. It's true that many questions could be solved by just google or read the last few posts of a thread...

To me, the only important question is if LG did something about the idle battery drain.

The rest is fluff
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] svasalatii:
Idle battery drain is not linked to LG or Android 7.0 or alike. It is caused by some of your apps or settings or whatever. For instance, i have never had it, as those of my friends possessing LG g6 have never had it too.

Hard reset, proper permission granting and no installations of suspicious apps usually do magic. Have you tried it?

Overnight battery consumption for me is 3-4 % with all 4g and wifi, and notifications on, and so on. What do i do wrong?

Hi anyone know how to schedule night mode? Please guide me. Thank you
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] granazias:
Probably he asks about the phone idle consumption between full charges during daily use..my idle drain is about 1 or 2% during the night,but the daily idle drain is always the 2/3 of the screen consumption..for example,my battery lasts for about 30 hours and usually my screen on time percentage is about 23%,but my idle drain is about 20% and the only use i do is a lot of browsing and a few calls..what about your idle drain between full charges?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] svasalatii:
I never faced a need to charge the phone during the day. It always seems quite good to live till 9 or 10pm, showing like 15-20% remaining. My standard use is 4g browsing + deezer music en route to the office, where i switch to wifi and slack+skype+calls+some bubblemania gaming during the breaks, personal mails reading and answering, occasional viber messaging and alike, then again some news reading and music listening on my way home. Screen time is around 5 hours a day.

Better start accepting the reality that perhaps H870DS is the one which will never see oreo anytime soon...
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
This is jumping to conclusions. Obviously LG is rolling the update out in waves. There is no reason to believe that they will not update a specific version.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] will2live:
Oh i feel your pain to say the least. this whole situation has burned me bad & I've been slamming LG on every social media outlet daily for the past 2+months telling them how unacceptable this is & how i will NEVER buy another LG or even pass to word to convince someone else to buy LG. Far as im concerned at this point Everyone on the planet should say BYE to LG. maybe then when they are loosing huge $$ they will wake up and smell the coffee
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bhawesh3313:
True. They said they made a separate division for pushing out software updates. I don't think there is any truth to this orelse almost all region must have oreo. Leave oreo atleast every region should have received the latest security patch. But BOOO HOO :(

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
Why does LG have so many different model variants? Does Samsung do the same thing? This is probably one reason they have trouble getting updates out quickly. After all, all the languages are built into Android.

Is it to lower costs, so that they don't have to market a model that is compatible with multiple markets?

My previous phone was a Google Nexus 5. There were just 2 models-- The US and for everywhere else.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] eitama:
Samsung is just as bad.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
It makes no sense. Especially since the Nexus 5 was made by LG!

Perhaps it also has something to do with not using pure Android. When they use customized versions they also put in local crapware.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] ALaWi_xX:

I meant PIP where apps like map open in a floating window during navigation when I am multitasking. See my attached screenshot.

Edit: One more useful feature -- The inbuilt Capture+ app now allows you to record GIFs
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDW 100:
Yep, in maps you have to start a navigation, and for youtube you must be a yt red subscriber. I don't believe it works in WhatsApp, at least when I tried playing a video sent through WhatsApp.

No.. PIP is a feature when the app can run in resized mode on another app or home screen.

One thing is clear-- all of the predictions of Oreo battery improvements were completely wrong.

At best-- it remained the same. But the majority report a degradation.

I think I'll remain with Nougat, even if my G6 gets the update, which it hasn't so far.

The features in Oreo don't seem worth giving up battery life

TBH, I moved to Oreo and see huge difference. Don't have an idle draining during night. Running game and leaving it on background don't consume battery like before. I've the same apps like I had on Nougat. I always got WIFI, 4G, BT, GPS on.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pondy:
I have also found a bit of a difference. I will admit, it took maybe 3 or 4 charge cycles for this to really take effect though.

I hope you guys are right, it's just that there have been several comments and Youtubes to the contrary, claiming shorter SOT, and overall no better battery life.
