[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jshames:
I too noticed a slight (and predictable) degradation in performance with the Oreo upgrade. It did seem to mitigate a bit after a day of settling in, I'm not sure if this is real or I just got used to the slight lag in opening apps.

As a rule ALL major upgrades slow devices down, despite promises of "performance improvements"

But no need for cyncism...

As a side comment-- performance, like many natural phenomena, is a statistical, "quantum-like" characteristic. It is not deterministic. This means that everybody here is right-- some units get better performance than others. There is probably some kind of Gaussian distribution of things like speed, battery life, etc, that originate from essentially unpredictable and indeterminate factors-- like random manufacturing variations, differences in people's useage patterns, temperature enivornments, etc.

It's like Schrodinger's cat.

So the people who say that their unit is smooth as butter and get 2 days of battery life are right. And so are the people who get crap performance.

Its statistics, which can't be defeated, no matter how hard you try.

Most people are getting somewhere in the middle, and most of them do not bother commenting on these forums...

Just a bit of perspective

The truth is - we finally have Oreo. We demanded it, we have it.

But using it on my H870 from the very first day of release, I feel like v20a is some kind of release candidate for official ROM, instead of the right one. I also have overheating problems and my battery life is worse than on any Nougat build which is sad but well, it is what it is.

But don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining at all! I really enjoy Oreo on G6, it looks and feels great and I hope more polished builds are coming soon :fingers-crossed:
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Athebest:
Ya that's all good and well but when the update completely ruins your LG G6, its not just "natural degradation". LG clearly didn't test the software at all or optimise it. The overheating is a real problem now, alongside poor ram management, unexpected crashes, SIM cards not working and many more. For them to provide such poor support for a yr old flagship is appallingly bad. Even Samsung has better support for their older flagships (even if they are slower).
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] toybxb:
My G6 is perfect, no heating, no unexpecter crashes, no SIM card problems... i made a factory reset after i updated to Oreo.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] fire3d:
Had same effects after Update, so i flashed again with KDZ method, after setting up and rooting, it get's laggy again, reflashed once more, but this time i rooted with

SuperSu instead of Magisk. No lags anymore, but no suhide......

The same was the behavior on the G5 from my Wife, laggy and sometimes heavy battery drains, i deinstalled Magisk on her Phone, no problems anymore.

A few other Users also suspect Magisk as the problem (Google or XDA search)

regards
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] jshames:
" LG clearly didn't test the software at all or optimise it."

I certainly don't want to dismiss your frustration, but that 'clearly' is an exaggeration, when most people are fine with the update.

I suspect that you perhaps have a hardware problem and you should take it in for service

Is yours an OTA update or did you install a version that wasn't intended for you market? That could cause a SIM incompatibility.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] sp_1st_timer:
I knew issues like the ones mentioned here are possibilities. That is why I was not excited nor eager for LG to launch the Oreo update. I'm quite happy with what I get from Nougat.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] panand75:
I installed the TW version on Indian handset..I dont see much performance degradation or improvement. But I do see significant battery drain, Nougat was crazily good. Will do a reset and try one more time to see if it improves matters. Overall its a good update esp the home buttons usage.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Athebest:
Sorry if it came across a little too aggressive. Its just I'm so frustrated with the software, I've taken it back to the store I purchased it from 3 times and on the 3rd time they gave me a brand new handset for free because of these problems. Even on the new device its still just as bad. And yeah I made sure to update it to Oreo when they officially rolled it out to the specific models. Mine is a H870 and I updated when it prompted me to within the UI itself. It was fine when I was using Nougat though. Its a good phone dont get me wrong. Just their lack of software support is kind of frustrating when we as customers seem to pay quite a nice price for these phones. Its been almost 1 month since these problems and they seem to be quite common, so im just hoping that they''ll look at their user base and try and take some feedback.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] ram5200:
I have a model lgus997 g6 and had the same problem as many on this forum with battery drain after the oreo update. Before the update I was able to go 1-2 days without charging, but afterward I was barely able to get through the day. The battery would drain a lot while idle. I noticed that the phone idle and network standby were the biggest users. I attempted to test the network standby problem by changing from LTE to EDGE. This made a big difference. I was able to get back to my usual performance with this setting but I wanted to have LTE. So, I took a look at my network settings and I noticed that my APN settings looked different than before the oreo update. I went on my carrier's website to check their recommended settings and found that mine was missing many of the settings. I then edited the APN to those recommended by my carrier and my G6 is working just about the way it did prior to the oreo update. For some reason when I updated the APN settings were changed. I don't know if this will work for others, but I thought that I would just pass it along.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Tetragonopantelonis:
Well, i forgot my password etc, since i have changed phone.

I am the OP.

Luckily I live in a country with high salaries so I just ditched that piece of junk and got an S9+.

Last 2 days before ditching the useless junk I tried to use it without the SD card and it was much better. The same sd card that an S8 was using trouble free and an S7edge. The card was a Kingston class 10 and it was an original piece tested for capacity and speed.

If you have (which I am sure you do have) problems with lag,battery drain etc just remove the SD card if one inserted. This didn't solve the overheating though.

Good luck with the G6, the only thing I am gonna miss is the wide angle,but anyway it was taking 2 to 6 seconds to open.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] prmbasheer:
It is always a good practice to reset the device after major updates. I can't stress this enough. I am using LG G6 as my primary running Oreo now with zero issues. I always reset and start fresh after major updates.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Tetragonopantelonis:
Been there done that.still it was useless and laggy.maybe we have just different expectations and you don't mind the slowness ( I ain't saying it in an offensive way.) Or not even notice it (most of the people)
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Baijoosharma:
How? I tried but it sucked OK logo :'(
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] lazy3yed:
After the Oreo update, my G6 is lagging, too. And the music app can't "see" music files anymore. It shows "No music". Onkyo's player lists and plays ok. Kinda disappointing for a music oriented phone.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] MDW 100:
Is this a music oriented phone? ?

Anyway, I didn't have this issue, but maybe there's still some residual cache that needs to be cleared out of the music app, idk though. Personally I disabled that and use VLC player, which also allows me to disable the LG video player.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] lazy3yed:
Well, quad DAC. :D That's the main reason i got it.

Will try hard reset and setting everything up again and see how it goes.

i also noticed that the settings app take 1-2 secs when hitting back. Sigh...
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] MDW 100:
Yes do that, I hope it goes well for you. Hitting back to exit a menu in settings is near instant for me, although sometimes it hesitates to open certain menus in settings.

Also I'd forgotten G6 has a quad DAC in some markets. Here in Europe there isn't one, or wireless charging either. ?

lol the problem is usually in front of the device :silly:

no problem with Oreo :good: battery 2 day average use everything fast and stable, make a clean install with LGUP and not ota thats sucks! and is known for such mistakes

I had 5 years Samsung phones roote and the self-same discussions the phone is crap etc..... omg :rolleyes:.... and Knox is an insolence
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Tetragonopantelonis:
Yes the problem is in front of the device!

A client paying for garbage and of course complaining about it after.

And indeed you are right, my s9+ is almost the same with the laggy g6 ?

Relax big boy

It's just a phone. Its alright that your expectations are low
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] sammyDC:
so what do we do - same scenario... a lot of lag and overheating ?

what are our options - just wait for LG to send out a fix ?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Ring_C:
Same here. Overheating LG G6. And that's my wife's phone, who's hardly using it for facebook app and some minor other apps. No games, not even music. And it's darn hot.

Haven't anyone found a solution? I'm already checking the option to buy another mobile for her (OP6 maybe?), but I'd prefer avoid this expense, less than 2 years from purchasing the G6.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Tetragonopantelonis:
Welcome to the world of LG.. I jumped to S9 +. You can't avoid these issues with the g6, just live with it or unfortunately pay the price for LG's incompetence :/

you have in Germany 2 years warranty you have recognized that's not normal why do not you fix it ?

my phone is not overheating and it is not normal you can read here and in German mobile forums
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] barotropic:
I think you'll find that the majority of G6 users are quite happy, whether on nougat or Oreo. Those who experience problems are naturally more vocal than those who don't, so it just seems that these issues are common.

I've had my G6 (US997) more than a year, and its battery life and performance have been consistently good, certainly as good as other phones with similar specs.

All I can suggest is reset, test, then fresh-install a few apps at a time, test, and so on, until you find the culprit.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Tetragonopantelonis:
You are too normal and reasonable to be on the Internet ?
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] barotropic:
Sorry, I've been trying to shake that habit, but might need professional help! [emoji6]
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] blackhawk_LA:
If there's a lot of people using Oreo without any kind of problem, there's no reason to think there's a bug in the firmware. Do a factor reset, and if you have a carrier firmware, flash a stock EU (or your regional) firmware with lgup.

If the problem persists, there may be a hardware issue, but I doubt it.

Alternatively, you can look for the culprit. For example, try using the phone in airplane mode, so you can see if overheating is caused by radio (bad signal etc), install some app like gsam battery monitor and look for apps/process with high cpu usage...

I'm afraid that this kind of "random" problems can appear on ANY phone. So you better try to learn to look a bit into it before spending much money.

To avoid the settings app lag.. try to view in list view... Change that options in the settings to right 3 dot.. it stops the delay.. hit thanks if it helped...

I haven't noticed any crazy battery drain or over gearing issues either...

I got only one problem with this phone and that is that there's no method yet to unlock bootloader.. Just waiting for that.. And some one please send me a link to a good g cam, would really appreciate it... I've tried the version 4 it's Laggy and version 3.8 is pretty good but I'm hoping someone who would know a updated version or a better version of it.. Where I can use wide angle as well
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Graebo:
Food for thought:

I did not like my S7 (all US carrier model ) as well as my G6 - US997 after having an Honor8. The Honor was much smoother and quicker and stable. Fast forward a year and a half and my G6 is getting more fussy, jittery and heating up using Chrome and Maps, and getting pretty warm fast charging (sometimes).

I have enabled "force GPU rendering" under developer settings ( I went in there to reduce animations- no such luck).

My G6 is running smoother now with Chrome.....

Side note. Chrome/Java does not handle bad javascript well ? ???(google blames bad pages/high cpu use on JScript). I have an XPS13 that will heat up and turn up the fan speed randomly on websites (consistenly on yahoo pages ). SO I wonder if bad website coding is causing problems with my G6.....:eek:
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Thelock1:
My LG G6 H870 was running slow after the Android 9 update. Now, after the last update (v30b) the phone is faster, but i've noticed a problem with video recording (not in every recording). In the first 1-2 seconds of the recording there's some light flickering, like multiple exposure changes that happen very fast. This only happens with the preinstalled camera app. Anybody else experienced this?

-sorry for my english-

[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Nupid Stoob:
Hello. I've never bothered trying to root a phone before, but getting tired of the forceware apps being a buggy PITA you can't even disable/remove, so thought it was time to root for more control.

However, there are so many old posts, old tut videos, updates to software that might be superseded by newer software by the time you get to the last page, etc. that I'm not actually sure what's what or where to start, so figured I'd ask and hopefully get accurate info from you guys/gals that are more in the loop on the most current methods using the latest software.

Phone in question seems to be a 2015 J700PVPU2BQJ2 software version w/ J700P.03 version hardware updated to 7.1.1 and it's through Virgin. I ONLY want to root the phone, and nothing more, while trying to keep the phone as close to factory image as possible., and prefer using a PC to do it. Thought Auto-Root might be way, but it looks like it's not in use anymore?

Again, I'm new to phone rooting and the lingo, so treat me with kid gloves, thank you.

ok you have an older phone the J700P you can start by downloading odin an twrp recovery an superSU zip you can get twrp from here !https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxyj72015qcomsprint.html

an odin from here

An just google latest superSU zip to find that !

good luck !

step 1 enable oem in development settings !

step 2 put phone into download mod an flash twrp then boot into twrp recovery an flash superSU zip !
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Nupid Stoob:
Thank you for the info. I'm presently confused. Here's what I've done:

I ran Odin and flashed with twrp-3.2.1-0-j7ltespr.img.tar. It went through successfully going off odin's message.

Vol. up + home + power. It'll eventually show a yellow triangle with the white trash can guy on it's side stating "No Command". Power + up gets the Android Recovery screen.

At this point, am I supposed to choose the Wipe Data/factory reset option? I see tuts that seem suggest I should already be in the twrp UI or something. I've tried watching vids and looking at a handful of tuts, but either they are the wrong phone, too old, the button combos show something else entirely, etc.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Nupid Stoob:
Anyone? Videos show the buttons vol. up + home + power as booting right into twrp recovery gui. For me, it's going into "Android Recovery" screen. Is there an extra step with Odin or something that I missed? Or am I supposed to wipe/boot in the Android Recovery screen and it'll boot the twrp recovery gui? If bricking something I'm not familiar with wasn't a concern, I'd be courageous with it.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Nupid Stoob:
I tried the twrp-3.1.1-2-j7ltespr.img.tar and same thing. Odin says it's a success. Phone boots up to normal phone screen. Videos show the person's phone booting right into Twrp recovery. Mine acts like nothing changed. Root checker says unrooted. The Twrp app says unrooted. OEM Unlock and Debugging options in phone are selected, and I have it set for manual updates.

Anyone have an idea what's going on here?
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] peter couniaz:
J700P

Ok when flashing twrp with Odin first uncheck auto reboot in options flash twrp pull battery replace battery an boot into twrp an flash superSU zip then reboot system !
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] Nupid Stoob:
Thank you so much Peter! That did the trick THANK YOU :good:

For posterity to anyone else w/limited root knowledge with a SM-J700P Virgin variant running 7.1.1 (and what was most recent factory updates until this point); Flashed the twrp-3.2.1-0-j7ltespr.img.tar again w/o auto reboot in options of Odin, pulled battery once safe (i.e. you get the "Pass" message from Odin confirming everything went as planned) to get out of the downloading screen, replaced battery, booted the recovery (vol up + power + home) and it finally booted into the twrp recovery gui. Selected the "Install" option, then went to where the supersu.zip was stored on the SD (I created a separate "supersu" folder via PC connection for easy locating; internal phone memory card looks to now be unlocked, so can most likely use that if you don't have a SD card). Checked the "reboot once installed option" in the gui box and swiped to install supersu,zip and verified it was rooted via app after phone fully booted back up.

BTW, If anyone gets a hang/crash in Odin immediately after trying to select a twrp tar image in the "AP" box, try downloading the twrp image via PC instead of the through the phone (the legit twrp site that has the repository of past/current .tar), and just put it somewhere like Odin folder on desktop. Somehow, mine were getting corrupted via phone download through the twrp app, and Odin would NOT recognize :eek: the file was bad/corrupt when trying to select it via the AP box and hangs instead of giving a warning message. I ran into this earlier on then noticed the file was too small for some reason after viewing it on my PC, hence the Odin hang that needed a task manager kill.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers] sv7007:
I hate to necro an old thread but I still do not want to create an entire new topic for a single question. If I was to follow this info will it wipe the phone or will it simply root it while keeping all data on the phone? I ask as it is my wife's old phone and she would be pissed if I wiped her apps and everything on accident since she wont be able to remember what she had.

Edit: also when I add the TWRP file to odin it immediately hang/crashes like OP mentions but I am already DLing via pc. any thoughts?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Hash-82:
Pardon me if this already asked and answered... but XDA's search function blows...

Are there any ROMs compiled directly from LG OpenSource Code Distribution?

I have a H910 (it has the widest range of LTE support), but I'm not on AT&T.

My phone is rooted, and substantially de-branded - but, reliability and standard features continue to be an issue.

I just want something BASIC, and feel the LG ROM (before AT&T "customized" it) would be the best place for me to start.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] me2151:
That is not rom source. its kernel source
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Hash-82:
Which answers the question of why it was so small... only a couple of hundred MB, IIRC.

When I rooted my phone, I used [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION]'s method, which started with flashing H91510e...

Do you think I'd have better luck finding a vanilla ROM in the 915 arena?

I notice there is not an Oreo release on LG OpenSource for the H915.

Do you think that an indicator that a stock(ish) ROM 8.0 is not forthcoming for the H915 developement?

Thanks
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] darkknight200:
The main reason there's no rom development is because the h915 software has been stuck on 10q which is on the may 2017 security patch. So it hasn't been updated for a year now and feels like lg canada has abandoned it. Another reason is when h915 uses dirty santa/elf, there is no signal using the phone so h915 have to convert to us996 kdz and then dirtysanta/elf to get working signal. Then the phone can use the latest us996 roms that are on 10p april 2018 patch.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Hash-82:
Finally, a carrier worse than AT&T on keeping up their releases.

Not that it 's a good thing....

I remember that being noted as an issue in [MENTION=3167089]runningnak3d[/MENTION]'s instructions for rooting the H910. However, I thought I remembered it only applying to the T-Mobile variant.

Wouldn't simply flashing the modem solve that?

Would this be a solution for my issue? Which is finding the most current / stable ROM, with the least carrier customization.

AT&Ts removal of most Mobile Network settings, and their incessantly annoying errors in Messaging (because I'm not on AT&T) often make me regret having this phone.

Additionally, I now have all kinds of Camera FCs on 10r that I just did not have on 10q.

If I can cross flash my H910 to US996, how does that play out on LTE support?

My whole reasoning for going with the H910 is that is supports the widest range of LTE bands of any V20.

I've assumed all along that was hardware specific, though something I read recently about Sprint/Verizon ROMs made me think they are controlling LTE band access at the software level.

Regards
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] darkknight200:
Ya I believe you can use us996 ROM on h910 device. I seen few people run it like that.
