Dont think so, probably the January security update. But should be a bump to Bootloader 3. Did you take the update? If so what is the build?

Did anyone else lose Wi-Fi calling? Last updated worked great now it is not working when service is low at all. I even tried airplane mode with Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi calling on with no luck. This used to work in the past.

I actually noticed wifi calling isn't working for me

Wi-Fi calling still works for me, I don't have signal in my neighborhood so I would downgrade if it didn't work. Set it to airplane mode to confirm. The last update broke Google's find my device for me, which I use extensively with Google home to ring and figure out where the heck I put my phone. This update seems to have fixed that as well.

Called att. Going to settings - connections - more settings - reset network settings- then power cycle. This fixed the issue.
Tested on airplane mode and it works again.

Update has gone! (It's back and solved)

I started the software updater earlier and sure enough it reported an update was available. I was going out so thought I'd do it tonight when I had more time and clicked cancel. I ran the updater again tonight (several times) but now all I get is the "current version is the latest version" message. wtf?

This happens all the time.
try take out your sim then restart phone, if not, try turn off your phone for 10min, then turn on and try again, if still nothing, try change time/date for your phone and wait about 15mins. if not, then try contact LG?
This update can be only done via wifi so your gonna want to switch on your wifi..
What i did to get it was switch wifi off then on..

not sure if it's actually true, first time when on my ex-Incredible S receiving OTA update, I was on mobile internet (3G) :/
Yes the wifi is on (I turned it off and on again too) and I'm on June 16th firmware and in the UK
It definitely gave me an update option this afternoon, but not now?
Maybe they found a problem with the July update and pulled it?

no, it won't, otherwise we all would be recommended to force back-up ours.
just try my methods, if not working, try update via PC with LG Support Tool, if it's unsuccesful, it should give you another go for update via OTA after couple hours.
Just tried again and the update was there again, I've downloaded it and its updating now. Maybe the servers were overloaded?
Pete
Edit.......now up and running again with the 8th July 2011 firmware update
Hows the stability, I am having some frustration with this update.
Some process went awol overnight, had 85% power when I went to bed, woke me up with the "phone turning off" sound as the battery had drained.
Tried using a third party camera app which worked on the June firmware, no picture on the July firmware. Tried a few times, got a picture once. Then tried to go back on the official camera app and the phone locked up with a black screen.
So generally I find the new firmware is awesome for 1080p video now, but a lot more unstable. I'm hoping we will get another update next month addressing these issues and hopefully improving still photo quality.
I just hope the Android 2.3 update does not cause any regression of problems once its out, although I suspect these improvements are somewhat a gradual upgrade to what 2.3 will have (none base OS components) to ready the phone for 2.3.
It already looks like it has the 2.3 kernel based on what I read the kernel versions were supposed to be for each Android release.
Just tried to update the wife's phone, same result, no update! This is a pita, I'll try again later. Not had chance to test the update yet, I'll see how it behaves today.

Firmware Question?

Not sure when the next firmware update will be but I just wanted to know if anyone else had any info for the next update. I'm rooted stock on my sprint s6 edge, the only thing that bothers me is the battery and reception. Seems like when I enable LTE/CDMA under mobile networks my battery dies faster and very poor reception but if I enable CDMA only my battery last longer and the reception is quite good, aside from certain areas. So, if anyone has any info on when the next update will be and what will be fixed, I'd appreciate the information.

Does your phone go into deep sleep? Root will break it. If not then you need to flash the fix. We should be getting the 5.1.1 update in a couple more weeks

I actually wasn't aware of the deep sleep issue. I did flash the fix though just now. I was also thinking about returning to stock to get the update but we have pretty good devs working hard to give us a phenomenal daily driver.

Yea you can Odin back without losing data and reroot. I've done it. Yea the deep sleep should fix your battery drain. The signal just sucks for now lol even with the update but the update does fix the dropped call issue

I haven't had any dropped calls since the update. So glad they got that fixed, oh and you're right! The reception sucks, literally I get maybe 1 bar at my house and when I lose that bar it switches to roaming. Very annoying and I hope the update fixes the issues.
There is battery drain with LTE because the phone uses more power when connected to a weak signal. Before the update I was using CDMA mostly, but now I'm managing with LTE.
What is this deep sleep fix you guys are talking about?? Please direct me to it.

April build it already out.... no, it is not an April fools joke...

Build PQ1A.190105.045
I'm on Sprint, and never got the March update. It is letting me download the April update
Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk
Didn't believe at first lol had to check thx.
If you look at Essential's builds page you'll notice that there is not a Sprint version of the March update. I suspect that Sprint would not approve / accept / allow the updates. I'm hopeful that the April update will fix the Bluetooth issues introduced by the Jan or Feb update. I've also experienced significant loss of signal strength since the Jan and Feb updates, which I believe are tied to the modem security patches in those updates, and I'm hoping April fixes that as well. If not, I'll be downgrading back to December's update. I have LITERALLY gone from "bulletproof" data connections all over my City to routinely losing data connection, and my average speeds at home and work have dropped significantly. I know it's the build and not the network because I have another PH1 on Sprint that has none of these issues after being downgraded to the last Oreo build...
Edited to add: The April update is taking much longer to install than the monthly updates normally do. It took over 30 minutes to complete the app upgrade process today. Fingers crossed that this means there are some big fixes under the hood.
---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------
Uodate: after installing the April update and rebooting once to get a fully "clean slate", I ran Speedtest... WOW!
So, good news and bad news for me, and likely anyone on Sprint. When I ran speed tests last Friday (same app, same location, same phone, on the February Pie update) I was getting download speeds of about 12mbps and upload speeds of about 10mbps on average. After the April uppdate I am now getting download speeds averaging around 75 to 80 Mbps (!!!!!!!!!), but my upload speeds have dropped to an average of about 2.5mbps....
So, whatever the April update contained has helped and hurt. Now, to see if it has fixed my intermittent Bluetooth problems... Fingers crossed.
The speed test at the very bottom was last Friday. Everything else above it is today, after installing the April update.
Yes, upgrade (74MB) installed & working, but took forever to optimise the apps, I was sweating a little since I'm in Australia & can't send phone back to Essential if major issue.
Update includes improvements to minimum brightness & volume which is good ... especially if you like to use your phone in the middle of the night without waking your beloved! ?
Note that for Sprint users the file size (if received OTA) is about 96mb (approx, my recollection may be slightly off). My wife's is on AT&T and I noticed the size difference when updating her phone. Hers also seemed to optimize apps a lot faster than my Sprint PH1. It would appear that Sprint bundled something else in with the update (BT / modem fixes? March's Android security patches that we missed? Who knows...)

Can't shutdown with April '19 update
When I tried to shut the phone off to swap SIMs with my other phone, the PH-1 got to the part where it bumps the vibrator and hung vibrating for 2-3 seconds and then re-booted. Argh! Bluetooth is still borked... I have to shut off Bluetooth and restart before my Jabra 65t's will connect and even then it's iffy.
That's weird. No shutdown problems like that with mine. I've not noticed any Bluetooth problems either yet (but don't really know what I'm looking for with that, last build seemed to work OK for me too, I only use Bluetooth for pairing headphones)
And as usual I still don't have any of these weird problems. Oh well maybe the next one.
I had to go back to the original slot.
The new update breaks WiFi and data.

Hmm my led flashes blue when I get a notification. My wifi and Bluetooth work just fine. Is this with bone stock or rooted and fettled devices?

It's stock but rooted with Magisk (no TWRP), just happened since Jan update, it was ok last year.
Someone said it's hardware related, maybe true....but if I go back either Oreo or early Pie then no problem.
The max volume is quiter than before..
Anyone else has this issue?

Any time you have an issue and are rooted and running apps or software that fettles things I would say the best test of is it software or hardware is to flash back to stock unrooted and see what's what.

Thanks for your suggestion, unfortunately, I did flash back to stock without rooting, and still had no LED notification.
To be honest, it only shows up one time after fresh stock ROM flash, and never show up again.
There's no LED notification when missing phone call, SMS/MMS, but......the LED is blink ONLY when I have voice mail waiting....that's pull my hair off.

T-mobile update

Just got an update. June 1 security update. Fixed my FP sensor issue (had to push, release, then push again to recognize) but once again, auto brightness bug fix has been skipped. Ugh
Fp sensor?

Yes, it would not react to single touch. I would have to put my finger, release, and then put back for it to recognize. Now it's single touch like it was in the beginning.
Agreed. I received the update and the fingerprint sensor seems to be working better. The auto-brightness however.... WOW. it's terrible. Slow to react to changes in light, and dims far too much. They should add a way to control the dimming. Something like a percentage of the current profile they have e.g. maintain the max brightness, but if the coding would reduce brightness by 80%, then I would want to select a 50% setting, so the effective reduction in brightness would be only 40%. Trying to read my phone in a store or a restaurant is a royal pain. Who did the real-world testing of this functionality? Some cartoon character that has flashlights for eyeballs?
Anyone having issues sending or receiving MMS after the new update. I can reset my device and is okay for about an hour and then stops sending or receiving MMS messages. I have not wiped with this new update and that is my next step, just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this by chance.

Interesting, it had been on automatic from the time I got it and never had an issue. I did a reset and got it all set up and turned that off. My wife's phone we just turned that off and her issue has gone away as well. I remember reading about that DNS issue a while ago here, but never thought about it again since I never had an issue. Thanks for the reminder.

It's a huge network flaw that T-Mobile has. You either have to turn private dns off, or use Google messages. Either one solved the problem
Well the update broke the floating bar mod that I had. No longer does the screen record, screenshot edit etc. Only has quick contacts. Anyone else?
I used to be able to video chat with my friend with a S9 phone, after the update , today she tried to video chat with me and she couldn't, I noticed the native Video chat icon is no longer on the contact , it now has the Duo Call instead. Ugh..
Update? My phone still says it's on the April 1st update.
Placebo effect for Fp sensor. Back to having to double touch before its recognized. ?
Anybody on the April 1st security software having 5g connectivity issues? I have been having issues for over a month and a half. Got them to send a new phone after factory reset and new sim didn't work. Got the new phone today and everything was working great until it updated to the April 1st security patch. It hasn't updated to the latest update yet, but I had that update on my previous device and the issue was persistent still even after. So something on that specific software is screwing up my 5G to where I can't use my phone unless I'm on Wi-Fi.

I'm in June patch now, but I had no connectivity issues when I was in April. If you turn 5g off do you have data in 4glte?

That's pretty much where I'm at. I'm having to run with no 5g. They sent me a new phone again, and when it arrives I'm going to try to avoid the update for as long as possible.
Did they pull this update? I got it right away on my first phone but I had to exchange that one and the new one still hasn't received it.

Possibly, I have it. But it's not listed on the T-Mobile update page.
T-Mobile latest firmware
Does anyone have KDZ file of latest firmware (10R)?
I can not perform OTA update.
Mine would also not pull down the OTA. I had to use LGUP.

Question OP9 global dropping phone connection until restart.

Le2125 on Nameless, however previous le2127 (converted to global) also had this while on OTA update....
Verizon network.
Every other day I'll suddenly get immediate dropped call when trying to dial out, anyone calling goes straight to VM.
Phone restart fixes it for a day or so and then it happens again.
Any ideas on where to start?

Custom roms are just that. Imperfect. I love using Lineage 20 I'm also on op9 global Na unlocked. It's almost perfect really though. Rcs working flawless and network. I find some small issue and msm back. Anything that is still receiving builds by the manufacturer is usually better than custom. Now after we stop getting sec patches and updates . I will indeed go to Lineage if device is still working. We still get A14 though. And A13 isn't bad at all rooted and pixel dialer features !!
This was the case with the OTA update as well.
I actually switched to the custom ROM hoping maybe there was something different.
