Canadian LG G6 (H873) to receive the Oreo Update in Early March - LG G6 Guides, News, & Discussion

Afaik two carrier websites (Fido and Rogers) are mentioning that the Oreo update is coming soon.
I reached out to LG Canada on Twitter and they said that the update is scheduled for March 2 - 9.
UPDATE: Fido now shows "coming in march" for the Oreo update for both our devices and the LG V30.
UPDATE 3/12/18: Fido now shows "coming in April" for the Oreo update for the LG G6 and "coming in March" for the LG V30.

While I'd love to believe so (the sooner the better IMHO), these accounts are usually run by people with no access to such information (i.e the support personnel); time ranges have been wildly inconsistent between groups (some going as far as July or later!) and no one seems to give a solid answer (apart from this tweet). My best hopes are for a release in late Feb-early March. Thanks for the heads-up though-- I'll keep an eye out for those dates!

Has the update happened in Canada yet? Nothing for the European H870 yet...

Nothing yet. Crickets.

Crickets indeed.
Fido says it's coming this month. Guess we just have to wait.

No. Unfortunately, we're still waiting for the update. Oreo has been released for the V30 in Canada, which is keeping my hopes up.

I think the update will not happen until June, considering the launch of G7 on May.

Until recently, only Fido had the update to 8.0 on their upcoming OS releases page.
Now, Rogers just added it. No specific date, only "coming soon!".

Ikr. If they're gonna make us wait this long, they should at least make the wait worth it.
In a perfect world, we'd all be running 8.1 with the latest security patches. Oh well.

8.1 has a multitouch bug that effects all devices so if anything you should be happy. I'm running it now on my essential phone and it requires a magisk fix to even be useable for games and such.

So it's definitely not march anymore. Fido's update schedule has gone from "Coming in April" to "Coming Soon". Even though it's still wishful thinking, I hope the update does come out this month. It's only a matter of time.

I don't think we'll have to wait too long for the update. It's been two months since March at this point, but better late than never.
Both Rogers and Fido's update schedules still say "Coming Soon."
At least LG Canada confirmed that it's coming soon. "Soon" can mean a plethora of things, but hopefully that means we'll get the update before the end of May.

EDIT: It's been released for the Canadian market, I assume the US market will receive the update very soon! :laugh:

Unfortunately, no. Only flash kdz files made for your specific model only. Doing otherwise can brick your device.

I think they got it all wrong. The guy asking the question tweeted with the hashtag AndroidO. So supposedly he meant the next version of Android, the one after Nougat?
And then the Moto-team didn't get it at all either and replied if he meant Android 7 (Nougat)...
And gsmarena happily reports this news and doesn't even mention that. Oh well.
Another G4 waiting. I've bought it recently just because it's one of the cheapest good smartphone with N coming.
it popped up on my phone on the first startup, and i canceled it about 5 hours ago. I was rooting it. it doesn't pop up anymore. I just got my phone this morning from ebay.

If it rolls out in february, it must be 7.1.1. If it's not, it will be a disappointment, seriously, this is a joke.

Lg H850 Uk updates?

I just been given a new Lg G5 H850 Uk sim free from work.
When I first ran the phone I had to do about 4 updates, which is now at Nov 16 and no more updates available?
I have tried over the air and Lg bridge, surely there must be a newer update than this with all the security updates Google has sent out?
My Moto Z was up to March 17 with updates.
Is this what to expect of LG?

I spoke to LG support and they said there's no need for security updates. Took 2 hours of web chat to get a phone call to tell me the same thing.
Very odd, no need for security updates???

Yup that was the official response I got from LG too. They basically either have no idea what LG ever plan to release or don't want anyone to know ?.
There are new KDZs just recently released though ?. Search around and you will find what you are looking for ?.

Yeah, I had a 1 chat with their web chat support who escalated and had a supervisor call me to say the same thing. I asked if he can assure me that my phone was safe from exploits since Nov2016 till now. He obviously couldn't so he took my IMEI to work out my model (god knows why) and then took my details to find out when the update is coming.
Suffice to say I don't expect any answers this side of the century.
Reply I just received from LG
Hi ******,
Thank you for your query regarding your LG G5,
I have spoken with the tech team in the office and they have informed me that since November 2016 there have been no security risks that have required an update so one has not been performed. If the need for an update arises then your phone will be automatically prompted to perform this update.
We tend to release these updates either when neccessary or when a large update has been created.
At this moment in time there is no reason for an update for so one has not been created, if you have questions regarding this please get back in touch.

I'm so glad I got the opportunity to give frank feedback.
I think it is quite dishonest of LG to state they are committed to monthly security updates but be almost 6 months behind... for a flagship that was released last year that's out of order.

OREO 8.0 scheduled for February

Hello,
I contacted LG Customer Service. I had a few questions about my G6 model and the question was about the security patch. They told me that the next update would be realeased by February. I think it's easy to conclude that this will be the Android 8.0 Oreo update.
https://imgur.com/a/kUL5q
You know that Customer Service has no way to know that, right? They're just a bunch of people payed to listen and answer, they have no say or even contact (mostly) with the development team, if not for some important news. Since Oreo is still in beta, they really can't know it for sure (in fact, they weren't sure).
My advice is to let it go and wait for some ufficial statement or, well, for the update.

Verizon S9+ Security Updates

Can anyone enlighten me as regards to why Verizon have not updated this device?
Wish I could. Sprint is still on the February security update. Samsung just released the May update.
Yup, been on February since I got the phone. I have a Verizon model S9+. My wife's Verizon Note 8 is already on the May security patch.

This is very typical for Verizon and Samsung. We will be lucky to get the may patch before August or September. If we get it all.
Would be nice if the next update was to 8.1 though! Or even P. Im content with the device for now. I am not overly concerned about the security pathc.
AT&T S9+ variant here....
Also still on February patch. My wife has the Note 8 on AT&T, on the May patch.
Sprint has, in the past, been pretty good with security patches, running about 30 - 40 days behind Google. But it seems all the carriers have dropped the ball on this phone. Wonder what the issue is.
I just came over from an S8+ on Xfinity that was patched twice in one month.. kinda surprised this one is behind considering it's the new flagship phone...
Thank all of you for your input!
They had an issue around April update which caused a bootloop. It's not Verizon, or the carriers that are holding this one up but Samsung making sure it works. I update from sammobile now anyways. I know it's not what you want to hear but I understand why they would want to hold it. We would be crushing Samsung and the carrier if they released an update that caused a bootloop.

You have to activate and put a T-mobile SIM in it and leave it there for 60 days. After that the phone unlocks, so just throw any SIM in and go after the 60 day period is up.
