That does not justify why LG took a very long time to push the update. OnePlus launched Android P within a month with no bugs and solid battery life.

Change log

Does someone have complete change log for this update.

I have noticed

1. security update for October 18

2. 4k 60fps

3. Battery is improved.

4. Minor changes in settings menu.

5. Changed display brightness slide.

Its ironic they took so long to update the phone but didn't get any time to write the changelog. Anyway at Least the build is bug free.

Please Help - LG G7 not updating

Dear all,

I have just bought the LG G7 ThinQ LM-G710EMW (Indian Dual Sim 4GB/64GB Variant) which came preinstalled with June 2018 security patch. I can see many of my fellow users have got the OTA update of October security patch with 4K 60FPS support. However I am not able to get the same update. Even if I check manually in update center, it just says that 'You are using the latest software version for current OS'.

I even installed LG Bridge app on my Windows machine and it just gives a message 'Your phone is up to date'. I want to update my phone to the October patch, please help me.

Thanks
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] AMohapatra:
The users who are talking about update are probably having G7 Plus (LM-G710EAW) version. Maybe it will take some time for rollout of the update for EMW version. But I don't understand the delay since both are identical except RAM and storage.

No no i bought thr lg g7 thinq 4 gb 64 gb ftom flipkart and got the ota update immediately during 1st boot.. Actually in both sets.. I had to replace the 1st for lens issues.

Oh I see. Then as expected, updates have been rolled out for both devices. Now it's strange as to why one of our members is unable to see the update.

No VOLTE support on LG G7+ indian variant for Airtel & Vodafone

LG is legendary with slow release of updates and care for customers problem.

i had earlier contacted LG india via E-mail for 60 fps 4k and Volte support for other networks like airtel, idea, vodafone.

i got reply from LG india "We have forwarded your concern to our relevant team and the necessary action will be taken"

there is no hopes from LG they are the worst in resolving these kind of issue, one should take it for granted that LG phones will not get any customer resolution after they purchase the phone.......

If this all continues soon LG will be like HTC..... where they will need to shut-down there mobile division in many countries and loose market share world-wide.

LG should learn from young companies like Oneplus where the community is taken very seriously and act asap on any issues brought forward by the community members......

ESA KDZ

INDONESIA/INDIA/PHILLIPINES are all LG "ESA" region and all receive the same KDZ. For H930DS V30+ INDIA users were able to download/install INDONESIA or PHILLIPINES OREO KDZ and have OREO with INDIA LG Help app and Jio VoLTE before LG INDIA released that sane Oreo inside India. LG INDIA lags behind for some reason...

The ESA KDZ installs what you need, based on your SIM card, for those three countries.

My version is also same.Still no updates.should i replace?
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] djfreaky:
very difficult to get replacement from flipkart, my wide angle lens was damaged still they were not giving. Just for update i dont think they woyld replace, better you call lg customer care and they will take mobile on remote access and try. Also its very easy to upload kdz file oreo yourself with lg up software if yiu have laptop. Or just call service centre and they would do it for you.

New update available on LG bridge. Has anyone tried? Could be just Nov patch
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Technicalyog:
Not yet, what the latest version??? In india and for which model, i think it will be for 4 GB ram version
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] AMohapatra:
It is actually for G7 Plus ThinQ (6GB / 128 GB). The latest version so far for LG G7 Plus India (LM-G710EAW) was G710EAW10L with security patch of October 1, 2018. New update is not showing in Mobile OTA Update centre but only in LG Bridge.

New version : G710EAW10N

Date : 1 December 2018

Change-log says : Phone usability and performance further improved.

LG seems to have really changed the game with software updates, as promised in April 2018 after opening new s/w update centre, at least for G and V series. Happy to see quarterly updates turn into monthly. (pretty like Samsung flagships). :)

After s/w Update :

New Security Patch Level 1 November 2018

New Version displayed in software info : v10n-IND-XX
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Technicalyog:

Can someone help me get back those ?

2. Battery life is very much improved

(My phone idle drainage was approx 1.5% per hour with AOD off and FullHD+ resolution, now it's about 1% per hour. My SOT was 5 - 5.25 hrs. Now it's around 6.5 hours as per initial observations. Still monitoring.)

Even after november security update no support for airtel or vodafone volte service
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] AMohapatra:
True but I don't understand this farce of airtel and VodaIdea. I mean if Jio works with any smartphone that supports VoLTE what is the problem with the rest ? Why they need special patches ? And they do not support ViLTE too, just VoLTE in the designated handsets. And airtel IN VoLTE page has not a single LG device listed !

---------- Post added at 05:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 AM ----------

Thanks a lot man. Actually well, maybe you are right but then in some tech site I recently read the same issue with another G7 user. I didn't pay much heed though, back then.

Also it could be 'Deep Clean' app that I use which for reason might have done this mischief.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] djfreaky:
Have used volte in vodafone with asus zenfone max pro m1, thought it would increase the speed of 4g hoping volte means a different congestion free network initially atleast. But was dissappointed, was as slow as normal voda 4g. All 4g has been really disappointing, dont know if streaming content has become data heavy or not but the streaming part was better on pre 4g days. Bsnl broadband streams better than jio voda airtel at my residence.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] AMohapatra:
About data speeds : mostly true in busy network traffic areas / class A circles. I have been using wireless since the day my first PC came in 2009. Started off with BSNL 3G at around 2 Mbps. At my place, (Odisha Circle, which tops the chart for Airtel 4G speeds in Q3 2018) Airtel 4G is a charm with around 10 to max 30-35 Mbps anytime in budget 4G phones. And with 3CA in G7+ I get max 50-80 Mbps and 15-20 Mbps at least, anytime. Majority users around me are Jio and they keep cursing airtel. I am happy though except that my daily data ends too soon. ?

Having Jio for backup and ViLTE and that gives me below 1 Mbps mostly with single carrier and around 2 Mbps with 3CA. Max speed ever is 10-15 Mbps (3CA). Data speeds QoS must be regulated and maintained since we are paying for it !

Btw regarding VoLTE, I feel it does not matter much as CSFB is there for calls to go over 2G/3G and 3G voice is too good. What's the most important feature is DSDV for Dual SIMs which at least allows for two SIMs to latch on to 4G and this coupled with Smart Forward makes day to day usage a charm.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] AMohapatra:
Seems LG is back on track with Quarterly security updates turning into monthly. Another Dec patch can surely be expected later this mobth for G7 as LG Security page has listed a security issue specifically for G7 apart from others :

LVE-SMP-180013

Date : 3 December 2018

Affected devices : LG G7 with OS 8.0, 8.1

But which G7 model has 8.1 OS ?

Hello, I'm new here. My phone is LG G7 Plus (LM-G710EAW). And it come with June security patch. But a few days ago updated thru OTA to version V10n-NOV-14-2018. Size 654.64Mb. Software version V10n-IND-XX.

After update impproved the camera, now it can record 60fps 4K. It's the only new thing I noticed, plus the security patch updated to november 1st. I hope the commented here impprove on battery life :)

But anyway my battery before update has give me until 8 hours, believet or not. But most of the time over 6 hours on normal use (pretty good for a "small" 3000mah battery), most on 4G and at home on wifi over night. I don't use games.

New update available for Indian variants of G7 Series as reported above. For both G7 (LM-G710EMW) and G7 Plus (LM-G710EAW).

Current IND Firmware version : 10N Oreo

New IND version : 10P Oreo

LG Bridge update date : 2 Jan 2019. OTA update expected in next few days.

December 2018 Security patch. Not tested yet. Waiting for OTA.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] AMohapatra:
Pie update can be expected in Feb or March, after Korea rollout and it will come with version 20x. 10x means it Oreo only. Probably one or two security patches before delivery of Pie.

Can anyone tell me the battery back up on this device while gaming? How much PUBG SOT it gives? Does it have heating issues?

I am thinking to trade my OP6 with LG G7..

Thanks
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] AMohapatra:
Not into PUBG and in fact hardly into any kind of gaming but my usage involves lots of video streaming and data network almost always on. With that, and display set to FHD+, Brightness average 50-55% and Battery Saver OFF, my SOT values are :

After purchase : approx 5h 30 mins

After 1st update : approx 4h 45 mins

After 2nd update : approx 6 hrs

After 3rd update : approx 6h 30 mins (updated 1 week ago)

But check reviews for PUBG/gaming from others.

When i play pubg its in highest graphics, game runs smooth.. I play once a day at 40% brightness...game lasts 30 35 mins.. Shows 5% battery used by pubg.

I exchanged from op2 to asus zenfone max pro m1 with 5k battery then again within 4 months went lg g7, after asus 5k mah battery when i got g7 i searched my power bank and was sure will need it at office everyday but lg g7 3k mah battery has positively surprised me. Heard its due to the screen, consumes way less
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] AMohapatra:
Yup, because of the RGBW display instead of simple RGB mostly used. That's also the reason behind the Superbright display feature. That extra White sub-pixel is doing a great job. 3300 mAh would have been better but LG downgraded it (with respecr to G6) to 3000 mAh by using better display technology, probably to give the lightest flagship of 2018 (162 grams).
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] AndresCosta:
Hello,

In my LG G6 the 3300mah battery last between 4.5h to 5.5h SOT. In my G7 the "poor" 3000mah battery last usually with easy 6.5h and over SOT, even until 8h with 50% brigtness.

I don't use games in my phones, mostly Whatsapp, Youtube, Chrome, take photos, facebook or twiter from time to time.

I think (thinQ :) LG has made a great job with the battery in the G7. When I bought it I had seriuos doubt about the performance of the battery, even I bought a power bank. In fact only the "poor" battery specs it prevented me to bought the phone before. But now I'm pleasantly surprised, to the point the power bank rest in my home and not in my backpack :D
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] AMohapatra:
Haha. Exactly the same reason why I waited for 2 months before purchasing G7+ - the battery !

But it has proved all maths wrong and moreover with each update, it is getting even better ! 7th Gen G series seriously makes me feel like LG is back on track, though it's still a long way to go !
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] allajagat:
Hmmm, thats impressive. But my 4 months old g7 has gotten worse with updates. SOT is less than 3 hrs and i run the screen at 720p for less consumption. Don't know why! I even installed battery usage tracker to see the battery hogging apps but couldn't find anything. Any suggestions?

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Billy Madison:
To go where? They're better already than any other brand out there
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] AMohapatra:
To go to the top of list of top vendors of smartphone sector by generating good revenue and market share which will be possible if they do marketing well. G7 has tons of features but LG hardly openly advertises it. On the other hand, Samsung etc... companies highlight one single major feature tons of times such that not just humans even pets would be getting attention of those thanks to TV/web commercials and billboards and newspaper ads and what not.

Otherwise for price to features ratio along with quality, G7+ (128GB/6GB) is the best buy in India at INR 40000 and G7 (64GB/4GB all all else same as G7+) was selling a while ago at a throwaway price of 27000 INR after exchange (now 33000 INR) ! Card/bank offers are extra !

Elsewhere globally too I think 2018 LG G series pricing is too good !

Over that like they said in April, they have kept their promise of monthly software updates since last 3 months and Pie has also rolled out on time starting with Korea (considering the fact that it is a customised Android).
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Billy Madison:
They can't press their smartphones down one's throats, and their smartphones are not worse but even better than other's. People just refuse to buy them it seems.

They already advertise the hell of G7 and V40. It's not root of problem. Just try to browse their channels LGUSAMobile and LGMobileHQ you'll see yourself tons of ads. Their phones sells bad not due to lack of ads but because every major tech reviews site and every major tech Youtube channel cheat and post fake reviews about LG phones. Like, check this or this or that, it's full of fake. And people believe them and don't care at all whether there's advertisements and in what quantity. Here LG isn't even mentioned in 15 best. FIFTEEN. As if it's worse than Redmis. ridiculous, isn't it?

And forcing Mate 20 Pro instead of V40 is so pathetic of those reviewers, they're simply bribed, it's obvious
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] AMohapatra:

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Billy Madison:
Well, but is Youtube blocked in India like in China and Russia? I thought that English is 1st native language for Indian people and they perfectly can understand american reviewers and watch every channel they want
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Abhinav_Rakesh:
YouTube is not blocked in India, English is one of the most spoken language in India after Hindi. The problem with LG is they are more famous in household appliance;When you say LG everyone thinks of washing machines, micro wave ovens etc. People hardly think about Smartphones.

For most people they think Smartphones are build only by Samsung, Apple, Oneplus and Xiaomi.

The perception of choices are narrow due to exposure of only above said companies in main stream media.
