Android Central hmzzz don't believe everything they are saying.
They also said you loose image quality /features in the camera if you unlock the bootloader which isn't true.

Notice any differences in how it operates? No notice of any available update on my device as of yet...

Some users on their forum also says that. ATT got it 2 days before and we are getting it to.
I hope they move dual window back to back button. Thats all i need.

I have a H815. So i don't think I will receive an update then

https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-22421
Pretty sure its true, but ATT's was only like 25mb

What I don't understand as an EU G4 user.
Why does T-mobile provide an update? Is it an update on their software? Or is LG involved?
Are there specific T-mobile apps on it?

I got the update this morning. To answer a couple of questions: No, no new apps. Dual window is still in the same place.
I dont notice anything right offhand different, but I havent done much with my phone yet this morning. Heres a capture of my info:

T-Mobile (as well as most carriers) ship out the updates after they've approved the changes. I would imagine this is to ensure that nothing being updated will affected their carrier's included Spam (I mean added software) or network connectivity. Last thing they want is their stores or customer service lines inundated with "help! The update broke my cellular connection!" claims.

If you do notice anything of real substance, please post it so that we can know. For now, I think I will avoid connecting to WiFi until I know what this update actually does. I've never been a fan of generic changelogs...

But then it's a little bit strange that the international version. Hasn't got the update.
So you could assume it has to do with their spam apps.

Maybe it fixes the touchscreen issue. I haven't gotten an update yet, and I've switched back to my S5 for now.

Could have to do with any number of kernel/lib/framework related items specific to carrier. Could be cellular radio related, WiFi related (wifi calling has been weird on my phone...doesn't want to seem to connect but I have awesome reception where I live, so I don't need it), etc...
Has your version had any updates in last week or two? If so, it might just be that the carriers are just now approving that update and pushing out to the devices.

That is true for certain phones. Like the Sony phones.

Sweet. Pretty quick imo. Look forward to seeing if it fixes some small issues I've been having (touch/tap misses and knock settings). I know knock settings are a longshot, but it would be nice to be able to configure them to each persons liking. I'd love to be able to turn off the "drag one finger down to quick view the clock/status"

I got my update overnight.
Phone updated without any warning or notice when I woke up this morning. CHecked the software version and it was the new one.
I havent noticed any differences as of yet.

Actually I just looked at my phone and already running version h I wonder if from the factory there were two different images

No I haven't got any updates on my version (H815).

Got the update and my phone starting shaking and jumping around on my desk. When the update was complete it turned into a Galaxy S6

Since they are already working on root and unlock I wouldn't take the ota just yet. Ive got a replacement on the way so once I get the update I'll take it on the one I'm returning and see if any changes. Ill also do a system dump on the new version too if necessary.

Yes, that is normal. There are different regions and the firmware versions are all diiferent. New versions will come to the UEA too.

Don't worry. Updates will come but it is well known that LG is not the most speedy update friendly manufactor
Root is an other story, there has to be a developer who is capable and take the time for unlocking the bootloader. Maybe a Paypal contribution may help. Just like what happened with the V20 H990DS. Time will tell.

Thanks. I will stay with G6 for the mean time. I am not bored here compared to S8+
It may not have a good selfie camera but selfie using wide angle back camera is good.

If 10k was 0, then yes, you can't go back to 10k without bricking your phone.

Definitely waiting on this if can't go back

Any idea to when we'll have this implemented in ROM's like WETA?

Jeez. Luckly im in WETA Rom 10k update i dont think im planning to restore to factory just to move to 10p. I have the feeling LG will becoming like Samsung and the Knox system. Given the fact that they are already making the LG V30 to be more like the other flagships (no removable battery and all that) or we dont have to go that far, we can already see it on the g6. They are practically doing the same thing that samsung did. From Samsung galaxy s1 to s5 it was removable battery and there were some features that are not present anymore from the s6 to the present s version. Same thing with the Note series. Now if we take a look at LG, from LG G1 to G5 it was removable battery among other features that are not found any more from the g6 to probably the possible g version. Same thing happens with the V series. From V10 to V20 it is removable battery among other features that wont be found anymore on the V30. Rumors are there wont be a second screen on the V30 (and i thought that's one of the things that made the phone different from other flagships). But well... If they are making changes to external and some internal things to make it look like other flagships, why wouldnt they apply somethig like knox too new updates or for the brand new LG V30 about to come? . Lets see when the V30 actually comes out,

got the kdz for 10p update will upload in a bit

You have 1 fact wrong, my T-Mobile LG G2 d801 has no removable battery and no sd slot, I believe the original LG G is the same way.

I think can`t be only hope is Root

I might have the solution for root. But I need someone who can test it out for me.
If you are on "H91810p" and have your bootloader unlocked (if not I can tell you how to do it), let me know so that I can walk you through the steps. It going to be bit involved so not for first timers.

I only need one person for now. I will try it on my phone but I don't have my bootloader unlocked. I could unlock it but it will wipe everything on my phone in the process which I don't want to do right now. I'm 99% sure that this method will work on 10p.

Not sure if this will work, but I got a VZW prepaid for my daughter to use on WiFi - it has never had a SIM in it, and it's gotten I think two updates. Did you try pulling your SIM, rebooting, then checking for update (with SIM removed)

It will update itself, stop worrying. Other people have newer security patches because their carriers approved them, Verizon didn't yet. It goes by the carrier the phone was made for, not the carrier you are using it on.

We aren't worrying just wondering why others got the July security patch on the same build number as us and we have the may security patch. And I know it's up to the carrier that sold the phone not my current carrier.

Slow roll outs in case something goes wrong? They usually take at least a month.

When did the newer one supposedly come out? More than a month ago? Forget about which month it's for, they don't make the October update with the October patch.

There was a pretty major security patch dated September that is supposed to address this "BlueBorne" vulnerability that has been making waves. I'm interested in this patch because apparently Android 7.1.1 brought some sort of issue with bluetooth low power devices on Moto phones (e4, X Play and others are claimed to be effected, making some BLP devices unable to connect or remain connected). Among other things, my son was excited to upgrade from an e2 to this e4, and he's a pretty avid Pokemon player (yes, that game is still around). There's a BT clip accessory to the game that hasn't worked and it turns out is also related to this BLP bug.
Other versions of Moto phones have had updates rolled out that INCLUDE THE SEPTEMBER SECURITY PATCH, and at least one source claims it not only patches the BlueBorne vulnerability, it also fixes whatever was wrong with the BT low power connections. So, I'm very much looking forward to this patch being rolled out and SOON. But that Moto mentioned got the patch today (10/10), which is dated September. It'll probably be a while longer before Verizon rolls out a version for it. I really hope it does soon.

you wont get updates without a verizon sim. im not sure you can manually flash it either without an unlocked bootloader and root. I could be wrong, maybe rsd light?

Hey mine just updated to September security patch I was on WiFi and I also have my cricket sim in the phone. The phone is now no longer vulnerable to blueborne. Build Number is

Yes I can confirm you do not loose GSM I'm using my cricket sim just fine. It was only a security patch. It was like 46 megabytes very small update.

My Verizon E4 (on which I never activated service) got a notification about an update today (new version: NDQS26.69-23-2-3). Judging by this thread, slow rollout is right.

Latest firmware for H870DS

I've got an H870DS and notice that the security update is Jul-18. Is there no later one? I've checked for an update but the phone is telling me none is available. Seems odd.

No, quite the opposite, it would be odd if LG started to release regular updates. Security updates are overrated, software enhancements are more beneficial. Users are the biggest security risk, make sensible decisions with the apps you use, sites accessed, downloads etc and you'll be fine 99% of the time.

I got an update in August with the August 2018 security patch. Try to use LG Bridge to update your phone if OTA updates don't appear. The Hong Kong version of the V20 got the update with the September security patch, so I expect more updates for the G6 shortly.

Thought I would follow up, got bridge working but no updates, guess I need to wait for the next release, whenever that may be.
