Hi,
i just received an OTA update:
V10b-Nov-25-2016
Changelog just stated that usability and functionality of the smartphone has been improved.
Has anybody else already received this? Did anybody notice changes?
Kind regards,
BrowsingMan
received, but nothing to report, works exactly as before
Just updated last night. Seems normal
Received it as well last night. There was a bit of instability for the first hour or so. Lagging etc and one automatic reboot, but I'm guessing that was just due to the OS system settling down.
This morning everything seems normal as before.
Any improvement in auto shots with the camera?

Same happened to me. I rebooted a few times which didn't fix it which got me worried, but by the morning it was fine.
I don't mean to derail the thread but is there any custom support for this phone model? I'm mainly only seeing support for the H918. I'd love to root once its available and safe but it seems like this is one of those odd models out that no one really cares about.

Can you guys check/time your fast charge using OEM cable and charger? It doesn't seem to work for me, ot at least not prior to the OTA update on every ocassion. I've had instability issues when the phone gets a little hot/warm, if left in direct sunlight for 15 minutes, etc. I'm going to thoroughly test this out before posting anjy reviews. So far, not impressed with the loudspeaker.
I also don't want to update the phone yet incase the "impending" root solution, if one comes about, happens to be software-version-specific, since we are dealing with a phone on a locked bootloader.

something i have noticed since the update is a huge improvement in reception... now almost all the time it's 4-5 bars for each sim, on lte and 3g, whereas before i used to pick up my phone and see only 1-2 bars... especially at home.
i must specify that i never had a problem calling or browsing even with 1-2 bars, never lost connection during a call, cristal clear voice. so maybe before it was simply showing less bars than it really was? anyway, just my feedback

Yep , received the update yesterday. No comment on the update work just like normal. ?
Hey guys.
I installed the LG PC Bridge and, among other things, I decided to check for a software update. It informed me one was available, which seemed odd, because I had checked yesterday O.T.A. and had found nothing.
Anyway, I disconnected the phone and checked again and true enough the 10b update was available (still found it weird that it said Nov. 25 though) at approx. 730MB, but I decided to reconnect and use Bridge to update.
I began the process and it said the download size was 2.9GB! That's a huge difference. O.T.A. still shows the update at 730MB. Does anyone know if there any differences??

i guess bridge is offering you the full package instead of the incremental update, but the outcome should be the same
Does anyone notice any difference?
Mine works great before and after update....
Everything looks really good...I think that the problem with keyboard is a little improved....I'm talking about next word suggestion...
Mine has just been updated to 10b as well. So far everything is working great but I've only just starting using the phone so I can't comment on what was fixed over the last release.
Phone is getting warm and battery drops quicker for me. Anyone has the same problem?
Also, please check your Data usage for Google Docs, Slides and Drive. i don't use it but it still has backgroud data running! Do u have same issue?
Just updated to v10d released December 26 Changelog says performance improvement and improvement to home. Screen but I haven't noticed any changed neither I'm speed nor in options
Did you receive the update via PC Bridge or OTA?
in SEA region, we're still stuck with V10c
I bought mine in Philippines, and since the middle of December (more or less) I am with the 10e version, and still trying to realize how many other versions LG needs to release for the phone have a good usability.
Same for the LG G5, that is in the first Nougat version and it's in the box (both).

i got it via OTA and i went straight from v10b to v10d i didnt receive any update for v10c
I received the OTA update V10F-IND-xx about a week ago. Talked about performance improvement. Post the update the battery performance has gone to hell. It would easily pump out about 6 hours SOT which has now dropped to about 4 hours. Also, have noticed slight to medium heating under the power key when using apps that access data over wifi.Unrooted. Anyone know if it's possible to roll back the update without rooting? OR any quick fix to this problem.

I just bought my MT4G and have had it up and running for 9 hours now. It says I'm running Android 2.2, so I assume that means I have not received the OTA update yet. That wouldn't concern me, except my friend who got the phone the exact same time as me as already received the OTA notification. The only difference between the two phones is my friend's has been on Wi-Fi the whole time. Should that help, or is there something else I can do to request the update?
theres a thread on this, but U can't really do anything but wait. theres no rhyme or reason to when. Took my 3 days. doing *#*#checkin#*#* suppose to check for it, but didnt help me

After 48 hours you can call tech support and try to get on the batch push list. That will take up to 7 days, possibly. I just hit my 7 day period late last night -- still no update. Taking my phone in to swap it today since that was the next resolution the last call to tech support gave me.

Hmm that's discouraging. I'd really like to not have to bring my phone back in. Hopefully it shows up soon. If it hasn't within 48 hours, I'll call tech support. Thanks for the info.
It's surprising that my buddy got his update within a few hours and while connected to Wi-Fi. Cellular data wasn't working yet because his account hadn't been provisioned correctly, yet he still got the update before me!
You can force the update yourself now so it doesnt really matter either way... if you just want the update and not root just do the first half and stop when it gets into the rooting part... but the only reason i can think of for you wanting the update badly is so you can root it :/ but maybe not... anyway heres the instructions:

I downloaded the G2 update yesterday from AT&T.
I'm not rooted, but this update is even worse than the one before. The battery life is completely ruined.
I noticed that usually my phone had 550MB of RAM left with the previous update. Now it's idling at around 450MB.
Not only that, just browsing on simple sites on Chrome will turn my phone warm to hot. The battery life percentage starts depleting rapidly. Roughly 1% for every 90 seconds or so. It's really frustrating since one of the selling points of the G2 was the battery life-- And every subsequent update has worsened the battery life while updating really little.
What can I do?

I was more wondering if I could revert to the stock 4.4.2 before this horrible update.
Bumping.
Hey bud. I don't exactly know how the AT&T version works, but if you follow the "Go back to stock"-guide and use a earlier kdz file, you SHOULD be able to get an earlier version of kitkat, maybe without knock code, but I don't really care about that personally.
I'm guessing that they want you to upgrade to a G3 so that they earn money.

Do NOT update to it. Literally the worst update. The RAM usage has kicked up by 100-200 MB.
It's still 4.4.2. It only updated a few, unnoticeable things.
I really want to revert to the previous KitKat version with Knock Code. I cannot deal with this update. My phone starts becoming warm after browsing for a few minutes using the Twitter or Facebook app. It is that bad.
Please, someone help me out here. I'm so frustrated with this update that I'm half-tempted to just use AT&T Next program to get the LG G3.
No luck. It upgraded me without even warning around 2 p.m. In the middle of the freaking day. That really makes me mad because what if I needed to get a phone call or my wife needed to get ahold of me or something? I don't think that this should be legal for carriers to do this.
In either case I'm also noticing heavier than normal battery drain with this update but I'm going to give it about a week to see if the battery settles back down before I revert back to 4.2.2.
If you're sure that you want to get rid of this update I think what you should be able to do is to revert to stock 4.2.2 and then let yourself upgrade until you get to the version right before this and freeze the software update app. Have you reverted to stock before? I did it once when I had to return the phone to AT&T because of a battery defect and it was pretty straightforward.

I have no idea on how to revert. I've never rooted my G2.
It's pretty straight forward. Here's the video I watched to do it: How to Unbrick or Restore the LG G2 ATT Version: http://youtu.be/kqw_LFuyHbE
Watch the whole thing and let me know what you think. It's pretty easy actually. All of the tools that he's using I got from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

Just for everyone's info, I downgraded to 4.4.2 D80020c and then manually updated to D80020u and froze the system update app as I don't like the most recent update (D80020y).
Let me know if you need help doing this.
I just received the OTA for Lollipop for my SM-G900W8, but I'm holding off on installing it. I've read some pretty negative feedback on it (e.g., Verizon), as well as from some Nexus 5 owners who say it's very unstable. If you are a running on a Canadian network, particularly Bell Mobility, your feedback is appreciated.
Also, did you have to clear the cache or do a reset?
Is there a way to delete a pending OTA update? I'm worried it will install next time I reboot the phone and I don't want that to happen until I'm ready.

+1 I'm with Rogers btw
I am also a Rogers customer...
I never received notice of the update and when trying through Kies, and checking update through the phone it showed my 4.4.2 as current. In speaking with Rogers on line and in store, they tell me that 5.0 was pulled by Samsung due to bugs, yet Samsung won't confirm, other than Norway. Have been trying to update to 5.0 or at least wait til 5.1 comes, but not sure how I get my phone to do this automatically, without having to flash the firmware. Phone is unlocked, but never rooted.
I tried stock Lollipop a couple days ago. I went back to KitKat a day later. I wasn't a fan of the way it handled sound with the whole interruption system and such. And I often turn off just notifications while leaving everything else on but it was overly complicated to do that with the stock 5.0 rom. I had a couple force closures on apps that were never a problem before and it was just, well, not as responsive. Although that might've needed to take some time? The pop-up notifications thing was annoying (blocked part of the app I was in some times) and the task switcher was slow and cumbersome compared to the fast list in KitKat.
My thoughts, anyway. I think I'll wait for Google to mess with stuff. I get the feeling that they upgraded with good intentions but got a bit too carried away with their ideas. However, I am just one person so, you know, others probably liked it a lot.
Thanks for the replies. I didn't hear anything bad specifically for this model do I decided to give it a try. Installation was clean. No glitches at all. I'll keep an eye on battery consumption and report back. First impression is that Google got carried away with themselves making gratuitous changes.

I've gotten the update on my Bell Galaxy S5. There seems to be two issues: 1) Battery life. I've been getting 2-3hrs SoT only, while I was getting much more than that before. 2) Sometimes the call audio drops. I can't hear the other person and they can't hear me, but if you call back it seems to work? It's really hit or miss. Currently investigating the battery problem but it seems to be some sort of wakelock caused by PowerManagerService.WakeLocks and PowerManagerService.Display. GSAM reports that Kernel is taking up 40% of the battery.
It's been over a week with lollipop. There was another update a couple days after I upgraded. There are a few things I don't like, but it seems to be working pretty well.

Apparently only a security fix though it appears newer than the 1AQEB rolling out in Europe and other places. No apparent Bluetooth fix, though my very, very brief range test with the S3 Classic worked. I did not get disconnected until I was about 25-30 feet away. More testing is required of course. The patch seems light in size compared to the 1AQEB, with 1AQEJ coming in at approximately 270MB VS. 670MB for the 1AQEB. Only visible difference is that I am now on May 1st, 2017 security patch.
Interesting.

You can download and flash this to any Canadian variant of S8/S8+. They are all exactly the same phones.
Received it OTA on Telus this morning.

Did you buy your device direct from Samsung, full retail, or subsidized? As for where to grab it, I suppose I could download the latest firmware for my device and upload it somewhere or alternatively you can look for somebody posting it here on XDA or Sammobile.

I received it as well this morning, I'm on Virgin Mobile
Not available on Rogers yet.
I have massive battery drain all of a sudden. Google Play Services are keeping the device awake all the time. Nothing changed since yesterday except the new update. Cleared the cache a few minutes ago. Have to see if there is any impact.
Got this OTA update on my Bell S8+ this morning. Since i got the update Im having issues on screen sensitivity, like Im texting then menu option pops up or just scrolling my chat messages and then out of the blue it's menu pop up. Using a tempered glass screen protector which has adhesive on edges, working perfect before the update. Will still monitor it and report back tomorrow.
My device got hosed after this update. I had to factory reset it. I am going to attempt a restore now from a backup but I have a feeling that I'm in for a nice new setup from scratch. The phone just went nuts this morning and progressively got worse. Play Services started draining battery like mad, Play Store stopped working, random glitches and crashes, etc. I finally decided that enough is enough. I wasted at least 2 hours troubleshooting the issues in the hope that factory reset won't be necessary. I ought to know better.
After 3 days using this update i guess it's time to do a hard reset. The glitches I'm experiencing are just annoying and there's a slight battery drain issue too.
After factory reset the device seems to be back to normal, more or less. Have to wait out the first 3-5 days for the device to settle in but all the glitches I was seeing are gone now.
Okay, got a chance to test the Bluetooth connection again. There seems to be a bit of improvement in range. This might be placebo effect. Beyond that, nothing has improved at all. I am still having trouble with Bluetooth dropping at random, connectivity and discovery issues, etc. Same as before. I don't believe that this update incorporated any of the Bluetooth fixes that were discussed for 1AQEB.
Got it today on Vidéotron, no issues so far.
Hi guys,
I bought a htc u ultra when I was living in Australia but early this year I moved to Sweden. Now my issue is that android 8 is out, but my phone can't find the ota update. How come? I have received other ota updates in Sweden but the oreo update will not be found. Is there a way I can get it pushed to the phone?
I've contacted htc, but they are bloody useless, they just tell me to contact Google which I can't even find a email address or anything for help.
Hoping some bright spark can help me.
No help for you. Your device CID is for Australia and for this region the update is not yet released.
So why couldn't the retard at htc just tell me that? I swear they have the worst customer support ever. Told them this is my last htc mobile

Like they care about you. Statistically you got yourself a budget phone that is pretending to be of premium level. That means your next purchase will be in 2-3 years.
I'm blunt but that is life. I made my decision of getting this piece knowing there is almost no community and is already forgotten by manufacturer. It was cheap so I didn't care if I brick it by customizing. It the moment I'm working on a dirty port of LineageOS to it so I won't rely on HTC (unless I hit the kernel issues). If succeed I might consider sharing it bit wider.
But anyway - don't get too emotional. There is literally nothing that great with Oreo to get angry over. You could actually flash the LeDroid 2.1. It has been reported to work with Nougat backbone. So you get Oreo with Nougat Radio and Kernel. But then really say bye to HTC direct updates if they ever happen.

I just got the upgrade too - I can't believe how laggy it is now.
Haven't performed a reset yet, hoping it will clear up after a few days.
Extremely disappointed...
Battery seems *slightly* better however!

I did a factory reset and first few weeks was ok - much better than on nugat. But now after two month of use I see that slowdowns and lags are more common. Especially when the phone gest worm it can literatury stars to crawl.
Actually I'm thinking to upgrade to U11
Update: the battery is absolutely shocking now.
Tested it yesterday, left on a table after charging all night to 100%
Screen turned on twice throughout the day and after 6 hours and 25 minutes it's at 1% and the power off warning is shown.
Spoke to HTC support who have ignored my last 3 messages so won't be getting a HTC phone again.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Was a fantastic phone after first purchasing it (first 3 months) but now after 6 months - shocking

Did you try a factory reset?
Or check e.g. gsam batters stats from play store and have a look at doze/active stats or warlocks and so on, mostly there is an app (or system) running in background and consuming battery

Yep,
it's been reset 3 times so far.
I did have a look at gsam, what a great application - thanks!
Have a bunch of wakelocks - mainly around Google Fitness (I definitely don't use it) and a bunch of wifi 'wlan rx wakelock' too so currently troubleshooting that,
One thing I did notice however - on attempting to clear the cache partition, I have some notes in the 'recovery mode' screen
"handle_cota_install install cwpkg to /cache/cota/cwpkg.zip
handle_cota_install install cwprop to /cache/cota/cw.prop
E: cant open /sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity
handle_cota_install: Cant mount /sdcard"
That battery one doesn't sound very promising.... perhaps that is one of the reasons why? The phone doesn't know what size battery is installed because it can't read the capacity configuration file?
I'm not rooted so I can't check to see if it's present myself
zzz
HTC should fix this sort of thing - i'm not sending it away to get looked at/reflashed for 3 weeks
