Has LG always been slow to provide updates? My T-Mobile is still on May 1st Security Patch.

A lot of it depends on the carrier. LG has generally been one of the first in line with updates these last couple of years. You should be happy T-Mobile isn't rushing out buggy software like AT&T. As of now I (and many others) think we were better off with the May edition software.
I guess that's true. I was upset it took them forever to release Marshmallow to my Tab S2 but no issues with it.

Isn't a tab s2 a samsung? Samsung are one of the slowest to update devices.
I do think the U.S get a raw deal with updates. Mine is on 1st June security patch I think or maybe 1st July, it's in for repair right now so not 100%.
Tab s2 is a Samsung but just saying how long T-Mobile took to roll out the update.
If autoprime did not release the v10e I would still be on c. I think it is unacceptable, have already complained at LG Netherlands and Vodafone Netherlands. Although both have responded quite quickly in the end the release speed sucks compared to other providers/brands

Hi,
Does anyone have any solid intel on a release date for Australia yet?
Cheers,
Good question. supposed to be early Nov. but who knows. I was in a Telstra store yesterday and they had no ideas (which is not uncommon )
I'm waiting for it (V30+ H930DS Dual Sim)in the Gulf region...Not a peep from them,they keep tweeting "in the coming weeks". Poor management on LG side.

I too live in the UAE, the sad thing is any dual flagship from LG never gets bootloader unlocked! Still rocking the dual sim LG G4 (LG H818P) will be a massive upgrade to LG V30! Instead of buying locally dual sim LG V30 (LG H930DS) I'll order online an LG H930 (single SIM international version) I'll enjoy root as well as an custom kernel

Yesterday went to various shops, one of them said that it'll be arriving around 10th or 15th of November to Dubai! Why is LG so slow in releasing the best phone in the world!
Still no news in Europe either

Well the release date has been up on LG website since 2/11/17 stating availability at JB Hi-Fi from November 16th onwards. I've contacted my local store several times and finally today they were able to tell me that I can preorder it as of yesterday, even though there's nothing yet on their website. Happy Ordering!
LG V30+ Australia
JB-HiFi
Placed my preorder at local JB-HiFi today for $1199AUD. They're still not sure if it comes with anything else like a Google Home Mini or the rumoured Beoplay H3 earphones.
After checking the press release it seems they earphones are obtained via redemption from LG after purchase.
http://www.lg.com/au/press-release/lg-gives-top-smartphone-contenders-a-run-for-their-money
still waiting too, I'll buy it at JB hi fi
Well it's been 7 days since I preordered it and 5 days since its release and I still don't have it yet. Has anyone else got one from JB hi-fi yet? My local store seem to be having a very difficult time getting it in stock.
out of stock in every jb hi fi in Gold Coast
Mine arrived Thursday. 4 days and loving it so far.

No ! Froyo is coming next week to G6
LG seems to have no love for the G6 in Europe, still being on the July Security patch clearly shows this.
Reason for this could possibly down to poor sales in Europe as the rapid drop in price since launch seems to reflect this somewhat.
Eitherway the G6 will get Oreo no doubt about that, the Asian Markets will get it first then other Market's with Europe more likely being last.
So don't be surprised if we don't see it until Spring next year at the earliest in Europe. :/

It' LGs fault that the phone is sold that bad in europe, because it's the worst version of G6 and not cheaper.
That the price is dropping that fast is a logical consequence...
If there would be better marketing (availability in stores) and support, the phone would sell much better!
Weird, I've got January 2018 security patch - much more recent than July. And, I'm in Europe too.

As far as I know January 2018 is the last security patch avaible for the H870 - I have that patch on my phone too.
Very disappointing.....we will update ....we will update....bla bla bla ....but when?
As a Canadian G6 user, I can tell LG could care less about the European market. I'm still waiting for Oreo on my device.
They keep saying they're gonna update the phone, yet they can't even give us a date for when the update is going to be released.
I know updating a phone is easier said than done, but why are they taking so goddamn long? I mean, they managed to get the V30 to Oreo within a year of its release. It can't be that difficult, can it?
I'd like to bring up the story of the forgotten LG G4 that only got Nougat in South Korea, because I think it's relevant to this. History tends to repeat itself.

When it comes to v30 there is only 2 weeks delay beetween Canada and Europe. And around 4 month between Canada and Korea. So if oreo for g6 hits Korea this month , maybe by the end of the year OTA will arive to Canada and Europe xD
So apparently LG confirmed on their German Twitter account that Oreo is probably coming in the second quarter of this year. Apparently the rollout only began on April 30th and only in Korea so...
Source: https://twitter.com/LGDeutschland/status/991988430744817664
Since April, we are actually in the second Quarter ?
Main markets in europe for LG are Italy and Poland , and they are just sure about it. LG Poland employee said that it is ready and is being validated by them ,which means release within 2-3 weeks.

LG says Q2 2019. So, sometime between April and end of June.
That was my prediction from the beginning -- last year when it started being discussed. And I was right. LG finally confirmed it in January.
Basically about the same time of year they delivered Oreo last year.

I heard those dates for the Korean version, which would put us in 3q.
Desperately hoping that's wrong!

No, because the article also specifically mentioned the V30S, which is a US998 variant. All US998 firmware is the same for US998 V30/V30+/V30S.
https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/...dule-for-south-korea-v35-and-v40-are-up-next/
the V40, V30, and V30S will have to wait until Q2 2019 (ends on June 30).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Even if LG tried to release Pie for just US998 V30S, it's still ALL of US998. Well, I mean I would feel sorry for the H930 variants and H932, but the rest of North America variants can flash US998 firmware. But I'm fairly certain it's ALL V30 variants in Q2. You can't say V30 and V30S and then leave out any.
From the Reddit thread:
LG also posted a list of LG phones that will receive Pie in Korean. Availability may vary depending on your region.
2019 Q1: G7, V35
2019 Q2: V40, V30, V30S
2019 Q3: G6, V20, Q8 (2018)
2019 Q4: Q9, X5 (2018)

Not all V30S are US998 variants though
The V300LW/KW/SW are korean V30S(+). So could very well be that "we" all will receive pie only in Q3, while the koreans still get it in Q2.
One thing is certain, LG is not a brand for those who love having an updated phone, given this behavior, my next smartphone will certainly not be LG !!

@SGCMarkus, thank you for the information about the Korean V30S. I hadn't run across the Korean variants of the V30S, but with the model numbers you supplied it was now easy to find.
I also knew while initially LG had also announced a 256GB V30S+, I never saw any proof it actually released. Here in the U.S. only the 128GB V30S was released, basically a V30+ with 6GB RAM.
But here are the details for anyone else who is interested in the V30S:

I still have a Nexus 5 in a drawer and I know the Google updates, you don't have to tell me what I have to take, when Huawei, Samsung, Xiaomi, Nokia, Asus, Motorola .. etc etc .. they already have Android 9, once LG was held in step but lately, on the software side, it is not its value

If you want quick updates, you go Google. All those OEM's listed still update slow. Maybe except for Nokia, which no one is buying anyway. Everyone else is all pretty slow.
People aren't buying any of those guys for the updates. They're buying them for what the phones offer out of the box.
If you bought an LG phone and you were seriously expecting reasonable updates, you haven't been paying attention.
So go whine about not buying an LG phone again because it's not being updated fast enough for you. That should have been apparent with their history of slow updates.

Can we just all agree we know LG is bad about updates? No need to go back and forth.
Yet LG promised about a year ago to do better. So there's some disappointment there, in spite of their acknowledged bad history before that.

It's old news that LG is bad about updates. Everyone should know that. It's foolish to have believed their promise that they would do better without any substantial proof to support that claim.
I got the V30 because it was a good purchase out of the box. I bought this phone knowing that I'd be upgrading to a phone with the latest software before this phone was updated. I've used a lot of LG phones. [emoji2377]
They don't surprise me. They shouldn't surprise anyone at this point. I'd have been surprised if they lived up to their promise for faster updates.
