Honestly the hide nav bar thing should've been there when the phone was released, with the screen size and all that it only makes sense. What I'm curious of is did lg devise a way to do it without extra battery drain?

Any news about phone idle battery consumption? :crying:
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] coyot352:
Be patient, the question has already been asked several times, it is necessary to wait until the people who had the update had time to perform a few cycles of use..
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] scapeinator1:
Okay I have it downloaded on a korean G600S. So far so good. Oreo 8.0 April 1st security patch. The settings menu is very different as expected. Performance is definitely a bit snappier just right off the bat.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] verSerk:
Anyone got some news about when it will become avaible on the SEA 870ds version ? Cause my last update its from October...
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] hmj8469@gmail.com:
BT 5?

Did Oreo on the G6 give you Bluetooth 5 by chance?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
Unfortunately 821 doesn't support Bluetooth 5
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bhawesh3313:
I guess people shouldn't get too hasty.. The Oreo update is currently for Korea only. And they are getting that today so obviously they will need a day at least to check the performance and other stuff. So just wait. People will reply after testing properly

Yep, my USA version got a security patch this morning.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDW 100:
I agree. They only needed to add unnecessary features and copy-paste the outdated UI design, as all OEMs do out of tradition, then release the damn thing.

I want out. Goodbye LG, thanks for screwing us! Had fun in my 10 month non-nexus adventure.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sharif-4:
Not really, my dad's S6 has changed a lot in terms of UI menus, icons and settings layout (I can't say the same about my previous phone the G5...)
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mickrick:
And this is the reason why my brief love affair with LG has come to an acrimonious end. A year after Oreo was released and what they say is one of their flagship releases still doesn't have it across the board. They make too many handset versions, and lose too much money, when what they should be doing is releasing a couple of new handsets a year and look after existing customers and try to keep them.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] clouds5:
It's the business model. It's typical short term gain trade-off. They only need to sell you the device when it comes out. Once you got it they can't get any more money out of you. The next time you spend money on a smartphone is 1-2 years down the road and who plans two years ahead these days? It's all about the next quarter. Samsung brought this to the extrem at one point before they restrategised with the s8. They released about 200 different phones in one year for every possible niche market. Release and forget. Brings a lot of profit short term, but kills brand loyalty.

It's not LG specifically I've had phones from Samsung, HTC, huawei, Sony.. They all behave exactly the same way.

Just my thoughts :D
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDW 100:
I agree. It's been nothing but struggles and disappointment the whole way through... What can I say, I'm a nexus/pixel guy at heart, and that won't change. Shame, as I love the hardware and good looks to death. I estimate the lifespan of my phone by how many years of regular updates it's gonna get. It's not long for this one.

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

200... That explains a lot, never noticed before how many they release. From now on I'll be sticking to OEMs that only release flagships, like Google, OnePlus etc. so I can ensure a long update lifespan.

---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 PM ----------

Fairs. But compare stock Nougat to Oreo, and P. That's the kind of change I want...
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Muhammed Ata Bayır:
Gel artık Oreo yedin bitirdin bizi ??
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mickrick:
Whereas I have traditionally changed my handset every 12-18 months, I'll no longer be doing that either. I paid £345 for my 870DS, which was a really good deal at the time. A year later and I'm looking at this year's models and for, say, a Huawei P20 Pro, it's around over twice the price, nearly 3 x the price, I paid for the G6. Okay it has a 500mp camera or whatever, and a few other eyebrow raising features, but a grand for a phone? No chance. Now even Lenovo, renowned for cheap and uncheerful hardware, is talking up a mega$$$ handset. Nope, sorry, no chance.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDW 100:
I see your point... I plan to just switch to a used pixel 2 and sell the G6. I have no interest in shiny newness any more, just need something that goes the software update distance of a few years. Plus these new flagships look really weird n ugly to me. I hate this asymmetrical 2018 design language. Just my thoughts...

Back on topic, yeah looks like it's still gonna be a while for the H870 upgrades. People have been reporting that not much has changed anyway, so I give up.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] SurfaceCube:
Phones get upgraded in a tick tock way like PC processors, when you buy some you have to skip the next gen and then you can buy again... Like Apple and their S models, even if I'm wondering if they'll keep this scheme from now on
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
The average owner keeps his phone about 2 1/2 years, and it has been fairly steady over time, according to this

https://www.statista.com/statistics/619788/average-smartphone-life/

I wonder if the available of very cheap phones like Xiaomi will change that.

My phones don't break, they just get slower and slower running the apps and I get tired of it

I'll keep my G6 as long as it runs apps reasonably smoothely-- and I hope Oreo doesn't ruin things!

With decent smartphones for $100 people might not wait that long.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fegitoli:
I can confirm that Oreo improves performance quite a bit. It's been a couple weeks since I got the update.

Just like you, I'm keeping this phone until it's unbearably slow or if it stops charging properly. Hopefully we get Android P before that happens, but I'm not holding my breath.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] will2live:
WOW..... kinda unreal seeing as VZW most times seems to be the worst getting updates pushed out. Glad to see it finally rolling to someone in the states tho. Kinda ticks me off a carrier branded gets it yet my unlocked US997 G6 get no love of an update. I will say tho this was my first LG & will be my last. Luv the device & hardware but this update hogwash is NOT acceptable for a flagship device that can set ppl back almost $700.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] fegitoli:
Adaptive icons are a thing now. Animations aren't necessarily smoother, but look different. Status bar icons are the same as those of the V30 - they are a tiny bit smaller and dimmer. Navbar icons are more rounded. Unlock animation when the screen is on is similar to that of an iPhone.

Just from my memory.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] smsmith1975:
Has anybody with the unlocked US version received the update? I'm surprised a carrier is releasing before the unlocked version, or maybe I am thinking about it the wrong way round and all carriers will approve and release prior to the unlocked version.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ken C:

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Asadius:
Any improvements in battery life after the upgrade? Did they do smth with a Phone Idle battery drain?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] mprovi_15:
The V30 US unlocked version got the Oreo update after the Verizon, a few days after I think. So I think that in these case it's normal. Probably in the following days we are going to see other regions updating to Oreo, I wish.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tool Belt:

I've done the same thing. No worries, just wondered.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] jshames:
I would like to know if anybody who has already officially upgraded to Oreo is having second thoughts or regrets.

I haven't gotten it yet but I know once you upgrade its almost impossible to go back

So I want to avoid "buyer's regret"

Does anybody feel that they sacrificed stability, performance or battery life?

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] Vinchent:
I have mixed feelings about this oreo, but I'll keep you guys updated over the next weeks.

In the meantime, did anyone have the battery bug? If you go to settings->battery you get a percentage. But then if you go inside "battery usage" you get an old %. That page doesn't get refreshed (to force it, just rotate your phone).

Did anyone have that too?

EDIT: I also have the annoying icon-related problem. With the home (but also home and menu), the icons do not have the original aspect. Some apps (like chrome, YouTube and others) have the ugly white background in the icon. Of course, the icon-setting in the option menu doesn't seem to have effect.

Hello everyone, here still stuck on Nougat, my question is: if I flash a firmware which already got Oreo (for example the open no brand Europe, as confirmed in the last few hours) on my H870 the LG Bridge is going to give me Oreo right after?

Yeah go for it... Is that OTA? I had to use LG bridge in the UK.

[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DeveloperPeppe:
Problem is, it's not a few days, my brand is a carrier which usually takes up to 2 months to release this updates.... For example, the V30 with this same brand is still waiting for Oreo. Plus I've always hated branded smartphone, so... 2 birds with one stone :D

The only thing is, why some people say that I'll keep receiveng OTA updates, while others say that I will have to do it via LG Bridge, while others say that I'll have to push it in manually via flashing?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDW 100:
That moisture conversation escalated quickly
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] MDW 100:
OTA updates take longer to reach your device than using LG bridge. I could have waited another few weeks to get the OTA, but I decided to update via LG bridge.

You can manually flash it but it's more risky. However if you want to get rid of the branding and get updates faster, that might be the way to go. Just bear in mind that it can wreck your phone if done incorrectly.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] DeveloperPeppe:
Thanks for the answer! I've been out of the modding game for a while, but I think I still can do an easy firmware installation, actually is the most basic operation, doesn't require unlocking bootloader or root or twrp. Anyway thanks again

Same question, I have a locked brand G6, can I flash it over my carrier?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] BiG_FooT:
I have installed it myself yesterday. But as I was coming from Fulmics 4.2 custom ROM I first flashed Nougat stock ROM kdz. Then it boot looped but it was caused by the fact that I was coming from Fulmics. After factory resetting it booted up normally. I powered off and flashed the aforementioned Oreo firmware and it's all fine now. Reinstalling is a bit annoying but it's good to make a fresh start.

If you are already on stock Nougat you can flash with LG up and choose upgrade. Then you won't have to reinstall everything.

And regarding branded firmware; I don't know if the software is heavy modified by the telco. In my opinion not cause I flashed several times branded KDZ to my H870 without any issues. So the opposite of what you are asking. You usually only get some additional telco apps installed (eg. Vodafone service apps). There could be changes made per brand ofcourse. Maybe Wifi Calling enabled option etc.

As long as you flash H870 kdz on H870 model it won't harm IMHO and experience.
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] daviss101:
Thanks, about to attempt soon but how do you factory reset in a bootloop?
[LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion] BiG_FooT:
You have to go to the recovery of your phone by doing this:

Start by powering off your smartphone...

As it's usually not possible to power off when in a Boot loop you have to hold the Volume down + Power button and then just after the phone reboots immediately:

Again press the Volume Down key + hold the Power button.

Keep pressing these keys until the LG Logo is displayed.

Now, release the Power button for a moment and then press it again (do that while still holding Volume Down).

Keep pressing these buttons until the recovery mode is displayed on your LG G6

Now choose YES and again YES in the menu's that will appear.

It's a bit trail and error but it will work!
