Oreo for AME-xx is not released by LG yet.

You will see most probably members posting here that they are getting it

Then search again on your phone at setting -> software update-> check now for update
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Tim3tripp3r:
I don't think that the "AME" (H990DS) Oreo update has been released yet from what I have read. Don't panic though, I sure that it's still coming. It shouldn't matter that you live in Argentina, as soon it is released you will be able to download it on wifi when you check for software updates manually or if you have it set to automatically download then you should see a notification that it's available. I'd just hang tight for a few weeks to see what turns up. A lot of the users that tried to update with LG Bridge (using a PC to upload to the phone) seemed run into problems with the SEA & TWN versions while the users that hung tight and used the OTA (over the air) update didn't seem to have problems. That's why I'm suggesting to just wait a bit more even if you find the Oreo AME download the safer way is to let the phone do the update.

Can I flash any region of android 8 firmware on my phone?

My region is ARE
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] cnjax:
You can but you may experience cellular and data connection issues
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] kingtm:
No. If you flash any oder region on your ARE V20,the phone will not start and will stuck on the LG logo.

Does anybody have any information about the Oreo update on H990DS India version.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Tim3tripp3r:
I don't have any "insider" information but from the extensive reading that I have done on the H990DS security updates in the past they (LG) usually starts off with the TWN and SEA versions then shortly after do another 2 or 3 versions. They work their way through a few at time until all 10 variations are done. Yes, the H990DS actually has 10 separate regional variations. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you are next on the list.

Are you Sure?!

I flashed AME firmware (Android 7) from 8 Months ago on my ARE variant H990ds and Everything works well yet !
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] kingtm:
Some time ago I had V20 AME (are) version. If you flash any another version on Nougat, there will be no problems.

But if flash Oreo( SEA, TWN region) you V20 will stuck on the LG logo and won't be able to start. I'm 100% sure in what I say.

This is really frustrating as an Indian LG V20 user. This will be my last LG purchase. I will switch to an iPhone where there are no delays to Software Updates. I spent 55k on LG, will spend another 75k on iPhone XR.

I see someone on the thread was promised an October End timeline for the update by LG Customer care, can that kind soul confront LG customer care on the same again?

20 nov no update till now for middle east version
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] parthabhatta:
I think with a such a long delay it will not be released for india. Because I find no point in delaying this as it's already available in some if the countries. So presumingly the only thing required is country specific customisation which shouldn't take this much time. Will have to think again before buying LG. This was the first out of the box Android 7 phone and still in Android 7. It's a record in itself. Leave aside flagships, even the low end phones of today gives one or two OS updates, besides regular security updates. Shame on LG.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Lebatman:
It seems more and more likely that my beloved phone is being left in the dust by LG. I'm losing hope on Oreo as well.

It's a pity that they're handing out such a treatment to people who would've been loyalists.

The worst part is that for phones like H990DS, there aren't quite as many custom ROM options either.. thanks to LG, most of the ROMs end up lacking some key features... the second screen support or DAC support. If they didnt' want to invest in supporting the V20 they should've released all sources and drivers, made it easily rootable and let devs work their magic. Effing LG!

I also receive the notification. AME version as well. Will try to report back after the update that I will do in 3 or 4 hours

Update done: After nearly 4 hours downloading (servers were probably busy) the update took 10-12 minutes and everything looks ok

I have opened most of my apps once and with the exception of a couple that kept stoping (but fixed after a restart or re-installation) all others were ok

I will allow the new rom to settle for a couple of days and then check the battery and speed

After one year lg v20 h990ds AME version got oreo while other phones are getting pie lol. Anyways after 30 min downloading on a 100mbps on slow server lg v20 still has an ugly ui. First impressions on default lg home and drawer, the phone was laggy and glitchy even after hours of use. Now im on nova launcher and it runs smooth as it should just like 7.0. About settings.. I dont know if its better organized or just messy. The biggest flaw so far it has to be the comfort view, yes its an improvement but you cant activate it unless you turn off custom screen color adjustment.when you see your open apps that clear all layout its big, i always click on it when im trying to close recent apps kinda annoying. Now lets see performance and battery improvements.

Review of oreo on lg v20 ame version

My v20 on the first days after the upgrade was really laggy and used to blackout a lot, had to use nova launcher to improve UI experience. Settings is more organized, icons are now smaller which it gives a better look, clear all layout is larger and i almost everytime end up clicking on it when im trying to swipe to close a app. There is a "new" feature smart doctor which it has a icon on the app drawer, its basically clean junk plus it notifies when soen app is using battery on background, on this option you have test hardware and diagnosis which are useful for an old phone. They added a "gaming" gimmick in which you just change graphics settings and 2 other useless things. Comfort view now is way more better but it comes with a major flaw, you cannot activate comfort view if you have "screen color adjustment" which was possible on 7.0.camera app is a little faster, i didn't see any difference in photos or videos. Volume now raises and lowers by one unit not by 5. That 4g LTE glitch is fixed.no changes on second screen unfortunately. Now on performance and battery:

Performance is better, the phone is smother but still has hick up's, gaming is a little better fewer lags on PUBG on medium settings.

Battery: has to be my biggest disappointment on this update, some have reported better battery life but this is not my case. My battery is 7 months old (original battery) and i get like 4 hours of screen on time, the same number as on 7.0. Battery saver is **** now, you have to manually activate it plus it has to be configured and guess what..still doesnt do the job. This was the first and the last update, its sad that Lg has people that dont know how to run a company, v20 was the last flagship phone that was truly different,now we practicaly have the same phone just with a different notch and brand.

Hello people,

Today i rooted my MI 8 se with Magisk, all went wel. After that is installed xposed, after the restart al my sensors are dead. I did a reinstall of the EU rom, but still no sensors. With fastboot i installed the Chinese stock rom, but still no sensors. After a miday doing some research, i founded out that probably the persist partition is corrupted. The problem is that there is no way i can reinstall that partition. If i use the fastboot methode (fastboot flash persist persist.img) i get the error; Partition is write protected.

It is not normal. You have a least an application who is abusing your RAM. I usually remain with that amount of RAM after few days of usage and than a restart is required. I suggest you to factory reset your device and then install your apps one by one to see who is causing the issue.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] cmcjacob:
I don't agree that "free RAM is wasted RAM". When you are utilizing 95% of total RAM, something is not right. And I would not recommend putting a constant strain on the hardware by using every single byte of memory as to not "waste" it. Because then many tasks will start to fail in the background, programs will start to crash, etc.

My device is just over a month old and I've only seen it go below 1.5G available a few times, like during gaming or running intensive productivity apps, or working with large files.
