I thought it was the oreo update but multiple websites say that i will get the oreo update but other say i wont

I recived half a month ago and now my security patch level is April 2018.
And no, you will not get the Oreo update I'm 90% sure

Look below at the screenshots one says i will get the oreo update in Q2 of 2018 (dunno what that means) and one website says i wont (see fricking confusing!)

Look if that is not official LG site than scratch that. I tell you any k series phone got system update from one version to another, except for k 10 which was released with lollipop but all other phones in same generation had marshmallow. And that's it they don't bother much with mod range phone (of there is such thing anymore) btw it's almost a year since Oreo release and p is coming up soon out of beta so...
Q2 2018 means second quarter of 2108 which ended near month ago.

You wont get oreo.

That's cool! My Nokia 1 is stuck on android 8.1.0 and the 5th August security update

Just set up fathers K8(2017) yesterday and it got prompt for update today, I thought it was just a security update since it is his 3rd budget LG and he never got any update on any of them. I pick up the phone and everything looks a bit different so I go to check what it is going on and I see it is Android 8.1 ! I'm stuck with Android 8.0 and July security update on Moto Z.

I don't think Motorola released an April 2017 patch for the Z Play
edit. ... found the April 2017 patch for the Z Play. Apparently, it's rolling out to the RETBR software channel. I sideloaded it on my Canadian Moto Z Play.

I don't know when you'll receive it in India.
I wouldn't know about any issues since I've had the patch installed for about 15 minutes.
According to its release notes, it's only the security patch, so it may not fix anything else.

Another update but still no oreo

i got another monthly upadte but not oreo..
so, the way out is.. waiting with patience?!
My guess is they're going to directly update to 8.1 and skip 8.0 as it's less buggy. It wouldn't have taken this long?

Maybe it's a prerequisite for the Oreo Update. I had the OnePlus X before this one which got a small update like this for better support of marshmallow.

This is interesting. I just looked and the security update is from back in Aug. I think the change list is the same as all the others that have been out already.
The 810 has the same update with different build number. I'm thinking that these are just late updates for that country. They were behind everyone else.
I don't see any reason we need it. But I could be wrong.
Edit
This is China's first Nougat Rom. They've been on Marshmallow til now. I think it was the last to get Nougat.

True lol. I think there's maybe one more security patch and then we should be receiving the Oreo update, since I saw Honor recently tweet about Oreo preparation for the Honor 7x.

Lol. I know one of the devs for Honor USA and there is NO Oreo release for the 7x for main distribution yet. They just started the beta a month ago. Go check honor USA beta group on Facebook if you need confirmation.

Hi guys,
I just got this update too on my FRD L04. Since it's been a while I factory reset after an update, I did so to clean up my phone of all the other junk I've been stacking. Well this was a huge mistake because now the my bluetooth earphone won't connect to my phone. Before factory resetting, and on B392 it worked perfectly fine, I don't know why and how the factory reset messed with the Bluetooth connectivity. Anyone have a solution for this? Thanks.

Has anyone got the new update of 224 mb?? Or is it fake?

From what I saw, yes. The users that skip an update get a much larger ota update later than what a regularly updated user would get.

yah, i got that (224.0 MB) previously im on oct security patch v9.6.14.0
and after the patch i got v9.6.16.0
nothing noticed what have change in real
just security patch i think
Well, this should be true November update then, with some fixes, patches and changes in the system.
@twentyfourinc , the security patch updates are about 100mb, everything above has some changes for phone itself.
I just got v9.6.16 after the update, I think it's just the November security patch, mine was 300mb, but I was on June security patch before
The security patch updates are about 100mb is correct...
