No feature added , just feels little smoother. Had issue with two beeps of locking sound, now haven't seen that. Battery looks slightly improved but wait can't judge it on 3 hrs of usages , after 2-3 cycles it may be clear. Lastly the updated android security patch of April . Will revert back if anything weird happens but nothing till now everything good.

Thanks for the great feedback. Still downloading the KDZ file. Is the interface the same as V20C? I mean, I am hoping it might be the same as in G5.

Interface is same as it was on previous version no changes in that. No G5 implementation yet. Android version is the same.

Imported from Thailand, buying in India was too main stream . I also got H810 single sim variant. Update may be on the way, hope so.
Updated now to V20E. Let's see what will be the performance after weeks of usage.

A bit off topic: Since u have imported ur device, will you still get LG India warranty. Asking this because the so called "bootloop" issue is spreading like forest fire amongst the G4 users.
As for V20e update part I will be informing as soon as the update arrives for my H818N. :laugh:

Bootloop is seen for older handset, my older one is H810 and got my H818 is a week old. The batch after Jan 2016 has got newer version of motherboard so no at risk I think so and no warranty for imported handsets.

Have yet to see Indians complain about it. 30K G4's imported into the country, where are they ?
When i went through a russian thread and used google translate i counted about 25. Out of how many. thousands ?
The bulk of people complaining are single sim. And the poll thread showed they were concentrated around the early builds.

its a phased roll out. You dont roll out an update everywhere at the same time. Roll it out in one country, then wait & watch. Ok ? move to the next country and so on.

ok, so its just a security update, to April.
Still 6.0, we're waiting for 6.0.1, that is where the battery improvements will be.
kernel still on 3.10, it goes to 3.18 in 6.0.1 i suppose.

S6 users were crying they did not get MM until march.
The G4 got MM in Dec.
Difference is the S6 got 6.0.1, we're still on 6.0
It takes work. Be patient.
Save your prayers for N.
The open question is the security updates. How long will LG keep those up.

True enough mate. :good:
Updated yesterday, smoother touch and better battery...
Official OTA?
yes official, but still waiting in Slovakia
FF says not approved yet, my IMEI approval is pending
My expirience: smoother good battery but apps sometimes crash and much much worse graphics in game and on screen general. Have downgraded back.

Or first post isn't talking about official OTA?
I can't belive that he is only one that get official update Over The Air
Maybe it was via FF
Maybe it´s not released to everybody.... let me explain:
- 14/09/2017 i sent a email to Huawei asking for a time-frame to fix BlueBorne Bluetooth vulnerability (no EMEI sent).
- 15/09/2017 I received OTA update MHA-L29C432B194 ( never thought it could be only for me !!!, not used to this type of support !!! )
- 17/09/2017 Posted message to see feedback from other users...
Still talking with Huawei as it did not fix the BlueBorne Bluetooth vulnerability, and my Bluetooth is always on to pair with a Smart band...
Sorry but i never thought that Huawei Support would release anything only for me !! It seems they really care... :highfive:

To establish a pattern of regions where the fw has and hasn't been released. Huawei is famous for delaying or outright excluding whole regions and IMEI ranges for unknown reasons. This allows those excluded to make an informed decision when resorting to alternative upgrade solutions. My device was excluded from B138 back in the day for example.

I think, it is clear coincidence.
15/08/2017 - publish date on HiCloud
Huawei has a month to test ROM on various beta-testers, then start to roll out it via OTA.
I just got 194 OTA

Payoff would be very low
Just doesn't make "business" sense, to release Oreo, on older units, right before you release your brand new model.
Would be "nice", but I just can't see them doing it from a business perspective. Realistically, I don't see it coming to the
older units OFFICIALLY until around the Christmas holiday time frame, if that soon.
If "older" flagship does not receive android update, that would not generate much trust from consumers in company to buy new phone.
At the very least let us get EMUI 5.1 on our Mate 9.

That's silly to say the least, a phone isn't about software, I would buy the mate 10 if I could, even if I had 8.0 on the Mate 10. This argument is invalid, to me at least...

That's your opinion, mate, but I truly disagree.
Many customers pay attention to new software features that improve the overall user experience (see Android's doze improvements) and that are not related to hardware.
So, IMHO Huawei's hurry to release Mate 9's Oreo beta BEFORE Mate 10's release seems to be all about customers confidence-making

Yeah kinda sounds silly when I read it now, what I meant was, it's not all about software updates, ffs, the mate 9 is the best phone I've had until this day, why whine about not having O or P or whatnot. Of course I love new updates with new functions, used to be an update freak, not anymore I guess.
I heard about the beginning of the beta testing on our smartphone. Is it true?

Beta testing is kind of a confidential thing. So you can expect the news will not circulate this early.
.you can download this http://consumer.huawei.com/de/support/fut/
And check however I haven't heard anything. Though where did you hear this

Oh well. That can wait.
This is where you guys will spread information about any OTA software updates Honor sends, or any new info from the FF app. This will be easier for people to navigate through rather than having people constantly post a new thread for every update (whether it'd be security patches, etc.), which can get repetitive for some people hence why I'm doing this. Hopefully this makes things easier for everyone.
I should also mention that whatever existing thread out there related to this is fine but anything afterwards should just be put here.
No
Don't tell others where to post. In fact, I hope 20 new threads open up after every single update.

If you like to see a bunch of new threads for every update then by all means let it be. I just thought I'd make everyone's lives easier by just checking one thread for every update. You don't have to be an arse if someone's trying to change something for the better, and no I'm not trying to force anything down anyone's throat. People said it was annoying and I thought I'd make a simple solution.

You're not. The forums for the 8 are dead. No ROMs being released, just a bunch of whiners complaining about Oreo. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Just saying.
