Pie finally here?! - LG G7 Fit Guides, News, & Discussion

Tried to update through phone but no software available.
Connected to PC and a software update was available.
Version 10G 2.82GB.; description only said security update from google but is a little bit to big just for a security update Hope it is Pie and phone will be a little snapier. Will update the thread after the process finishes.

You are not entirely wrong. Supposedly Pie will be released soon, we'll see then If it's true. I suppose that the update should probably come out in November or even this month.

Finally Pie
My phone is HUN(gary) but I've flashed the Pie kdz with LGUP_cmd for the IT version.
Everything works fine but the phone gets even slower scores than with Android 8...
Antutu says that the phone is Fake.

Make sense to me, because, according to the internet, the update has not yet been officially released, except in the US and Italy. When did you flash the kdz on your phone?

I've flashed it Sunday 17.nov, just before I posted in this forum using kdz and LGUP cmd.
LE: this is not the official method of updating but it is an oficial ROM for this phone

Was there still no update to Android 9 at the time? If not, have you also looked at LG Bridge?

Before "force" updating with LGUP I've checked from phone and with LG bridge. But my phone is with IMEI from Hungary and the update was at that time.only for UK and Vodafone Italy.
Have you got Pie? What region are you/your phone?

Still waiting. Hope it will be released in or next week. Have the (unrootable) German version. Can not go into fastboot mode.

@slvjpn
Hello, what LGUP_common.dll have you been using? I have LMQ850EMW version, and DLL file provided here, at the bottom of the page, seems to be for 850EM, and is not working...

I've used common dll for LG V40( I supposed they are the latest )
!!- with the DLL provided there(I believe) and with LGUP 1.14 I also got some errors, but at least my phone was in factory update mode.
After that, without disconnecting the phone, I've installed 1.15 cmd and with dll for V40 it worked.

Thank you, worked flawlessly with V40 DLL file! And now, onto some testing of Android Pie...
*LG Bridge just offered Q850EMW20b_00_1106 - just appeared today, no info whatsoever. Copied KDZ from LG data folder, and flashing it the usual way right now. I wonder what the changes are...

No update in my LG Bridge for 20b, maybe because my phone was LMW and not EMW.
Can you provide the KDZ for 20b?

I'll upload it later today, when I get home from work. It will take a few hours on my crappy connection, though...
Here is Software info, sorry for the Cyrillic. :silly:

So android 9 is only available through LG Bridge, if I understand it correctly, however, my phone will not show me an update but I'll check again today about LG Bridge

Apparently only UK and Italy phones have the OTA and LGbridge Pie Update

I uploaded Q850EMW20b_00_1106.kdz, here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b7FQe8Kyo0r--LUWF-j1xY--lnkkQgw3/view

Updating via LG Bridge also works for me - DEC version.

Thank you!
Updated to 20b and for the first time with this phone I get benchmark results that are on the same level with other SD821 phones.
GPU was very limited with Android 8 and Pie 20a.
Now I get 160000 on Antutu, before around 110000 and 130000 maximum.

Only 135910 for me... Are we sure we have the same hardware? Perhaps I should give it another go...
Synthetic benchmarks aside, I'd say phone seems snappier now. Not too many changes, but some very pleasant surprises for me, especially for customization. Also, Bluetooth connectivity seems fixed now - now it takes only fraction of a second to connect to FM Transmitter in my car, and it works 100% of the time, and before it was hit&miss, I had to switch Bluetooth on/off quite often...

I dont play anything but I wanted to see how optimised is the hardware/software compared to other suppliers, and the only way was to check benchmark results.
The changes I noticed was:
-Youtube works in full screen now(notch is visible); before full screen was only near the notch;
- no more lagging through menus or apps;
- bluetooth connection more reliable .
About.bench scores: leave it alone for some hours after installing all the softwares and check again the scores. Maybe try to restart before benchmark and wait a few minutes before benching until everything settles down.
As for the scores, dont care about them unless the phone is crappy and laggy

Lg update support tool

i went to LG's site and used their support update tool too install all the needed drivers for my G2x and after it was done i unplugged and rebooted my phone and now my phone seems much smoother and color even slightly better, and more even with less yellow. weird cuz im not sure if it installed anything on the phone but it must have. anyways try it out. it'll make your life easier for updates anyways.
LG support update tool site
it doesn't install anything on your phone. you're seeing things. aren't you the same one who had a "fix" for the yellowish screen that was proven wrong?
what i did DID fix my last yellow screen on my 3rd g2x from the store, i was incorrect about the screen bleeding being related.
I'm looking to contribute information on what has worked for me so others may have similar results and less of a headache since no one here has the luxury of an LG tech in their house to fix their phone at will. if you don't like it then don't do it. everyone on this site wants the same things from what i see, and theirs no need for people with negativity putting others down when everyone is merely sharing experiences and information.
from lg....This application allows you to conveniently download the user's manual and application
software forthe LG handset you use, and update phone software by connecting your
handset to the PC directly.
so if you didn't update the software, how could it fix anything? all it does is install the usb drivers to allow your phone to be detected by your pc. and allow the update tool to detect your phone. not being negative. just realistic. sorry
When I open LG Mobile Update tool and have my G2x connected, I found there's an update and I am installing it.

What is your current software version? I don't find any updates on mine and mine is V10F.
same here
there wasn't an update last time i was on their site for our phone, and now it has the G2x p999 as an option on their actual site. the tool used to install a couple other drivers when i used it last time and those may have been incorrect. it has never said update available to me until i checked today.
even if its just drivers maybe that was what was causing it or maybe now that since it had correct drivers on windows (not on phone out-of-box) it possibly corrected an error. either way doesn't matter to me. may have fixed something or maybe not. just sharing
no offense meant friend. it seemed like that statement was going to continue into something uneeded, thanks for the apology though. some people on here attack people who are just looking to help (i see it on many forums), and who aren't necessarily experts or programmers. and those are people who don't need to be on here in my opinion. it just disrupts the flow of ideas which leads to solutions. edison said he never failed when inventing the lightbulb. just found thousands of ways how a lightbulb wasn't made
v10f version did not change on my phone but the drivers changed from what the tool installed when i first got the phone when it came out. it used to install some others on my computer in addition when selecting LG-p999dw in support tool software. its possible that this changed nothing but my phone does run smoother and ive been messing with it since last night and it was a bit unstable and slow when i took it out of the box.

Same as yours.
I finally got "no update available" message on update tool and the update is greyed out (it's been red once).
What a bummer!
"The Cell phone is the latest version already. So you don't need to update"
There is no update.

How come I can't get 6.0 OTA? Says no updates for Shield (stuck on 5.1.1)

Pretty much what the title says...
I have a Shield Tablet and I tried the system update, and it won't let me get 6.0... it says I have the latest update which is at 5.1.1 anyone know what can this be and how I can get aorund it?
and lastly, I put in a request for the 6.0.1 with vulkan, but I'm curious why I can't get 6.0... is this a known problem?

Is your device rooted and whatnot? If so sometimes the update feature is affected and you might have to remedy that first. If not, it could be a roll out time line situation serial number order type of thing. I don't own this device yet personally but tomorrow when mine shows up I'll make sure and see if I have an update available(Nj).
no, it's a stock device and I got a while back... Would be nice to push it to the device via adb maybe? and it's a great device. you'll love it. Price is great, build quality is decent and it's very powerful!
I have the LTE model in the US and no update for me either.. I am not sure why this one is taking so long after the WiFi version. Every other update was released at the same time..
Sent from my SHIELD Tablet using Tapatalk
Hard to answer without knowing what device you have but I am going to throw a guess and answer to go with it.
My guess, you have the US LTE version.
Answer: The US LTE ROM includes AT&T software and is also released via the AT&T network. NVIDIA had said the US LTE ROM takes several additional weeks from release for the Rest of The World version to become available when 4.0 was originally announced. That clock was most likely reset when the first 4.0 version was pulled and a new version (thus restarting the clock) was released on the 18th.
As promised when it arrived I checked for the update and sure enough it was there. I do hope we can help figure out what your issue is.

Unlocked US LG V20 Updated At Long Last, What's in the OTA?

I couldn't find anything anywhere online about this OTA that I got yesterday on my US996, no record of it ever existing. So I asked LG about it and this was their response. I haven't applied the update yet, but will update this post if I notice anything other than what LG stated. I will hold off for a while on installing it so if enough people want me to capture and share the OTA then I will.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsD3pGv5cv8
From what I see all I've noticed is the Nov 6 security patch which means blueborne and krack are fixed among other exploits, ARB is still 0 so can be rolled back if wanted for some reason. Cool that it adds rcs support, not that my carrier has support anyway
was there a point for a video? simple screenshot of the conversation would have sufficed
updated, and i can't use my sim card anymore, the phone detected sim card but no signal at all, got some extra buttons in dailer.

As I mentioned in another thread, after I installed the update, it listed "unknown version" for baseband and wouldn't connect to Verizon for a few minutes. Then the baseband version showed correctly and it connected.
Since baseband is a wholly separate CPU and OS, it's not clear what it was updating in the background, but it fixed itself eventually.

Obviously LG thinks that we don't need to know the details, just that LG has improved the usability and functionality of the phone, that's all we need to know. /s
From what I can tell, it's the same build of android, NRD90M, as before the update. So probably only has google supplied security patches.
As long as LG gives us US996 Unlocked users an Oreo update early next year, I'm OK with them not doing much with the original 7.0 firmware... but definitely security updates more than once per year would have been nice.
The "slower than" or "completely missing" compared to major carriers updates up until this one, has definitely been a disappointment since the factory unlocked version of the phone should be the easiest to get updates pushed out for.

Nokia 7 Plus TA-1055 single sim version

I want to open this thread about Nokia 7 Plus TA-1055 single sim (for those have this model variant like me), to discuss about it and about problems with custom boot/system/anything else flashing/installation, which works on another model variant (TA-1046 and TA-1062) instead.
Pie gsi gives "no SIM" bug on single sim variant of the the TA-1055
- Oreo GSI (I tried them personally) have a weird call bug. It's very impossible to call someone!!
- Custom kernel have some problems with TA-1055 model, instead of other variants
I'm running pixel experience gsi on my ta-1055. No Sim bug is fixed by popping the Sim out and back in. Super stable build. Way better battery life and so much faster. After every reboot/update you must pop the Sim out and back in and it works. I think it has to do with the fact that it's looking for sim2 first and can't find it because it doesn't exist.

in November Nokia7Plus have official 2 OTA branch, one in line 3.22* which is only with security patches and second line 3.39* which also have some apps updates...
then if for you sideload say "expected 00WW_3_22C (SP04" then you can try OTA 3.22* on instaled higher branch 3.39*...
now you can check what exact version you have installed (in Settings/System/AboutPhone is two version show, one in BuildNumber (me PieFeb is 00WW_3_39B_SP03) and one in AndroidVersion/BuildNumber (me show [email protected]@_3_39H)), and download right OTA files from 3.39YOURVERSION to 3.39NextVersion (and repeat until you finish on Februrary) here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-7-plus/development/ota-nokia-7-plus-ota-links-t3818774

Thank you very much for your help!!
*disclaimer: Thanks for the help, but unfortunately nothing worked in the end,
Interesting. But I don't understand how this whole thing could even work. I am on 3.22H january security level. For starters, I can't install anything older than January updates. Also, 3.39 february update is out of the question again, as it's for 3.39, doesn't work with 3.22.
And the phone won't let me sideload anything older, saying "expected version: ...3.22H".
That's it, can't install older updates, can't roll back to oreo either. End of the line. Volume up, power button, then power button and volume up, apply update, connect usb, type in this type in that, check logs, switch fastboot slots, still wrong timestamp. It's 2 AM, wasted 2 hours of my life with "tutorials", combing through endless list of unorganized update files. This is my first android phone, and this is exactly what I expected unfortunately. 3.22H it is then. Wish windows phone was still a thing, I miss my Lumia so much.
Is timely updates too much to ask? Do I have to debug and flash my phone myself? Getting real tired of BS like this

Well, actually no one is forcing you to do updates on your own, so stop blaming anybody except yourself for wasting time. I'm not satisfied with the quality of updates too, but complaining so hard on XDA has no effect since HMD is not reading even their our forum for this phone.
I'm atm stuck at January patch 3.22, but do I care? No. Why? Security updates are something that keeps me calm not getting since they are almost useless. And as people report 3.39 nor 3.51 don't have any significant fixes which would really drive me crazy not having (maybe except for nav and notification bar coloring fix). I already perceived that HMD is a pile of crap and I don't expect them to do anything.
Once its get really bad with the stock rom experience I'll unlock the bootloader and flash some custom rom (i.e Pixel Experience), as they are getting better over time.
Sure, I'm not blaming anyone but myself, in fact I thank everybody for their effort...
But still I, bought this phone to just use it, not waste time and effort making it up to date, as they've advertised, then what? They split update paths... Anyway, I gave it a shot, I failed, moving on

General Secondary Display not supported anymore

Hi all
I have buy this Smartphone for a Month.
First time was all good.
Im a Truck driver, and I use this Phone via Hdmi cable with a 27" Monitor. This 'Ready For' feature was a good option for Netflix, and Amazon Prime. (For Gaming not so good, very less Game support a joystick...)
I live in Europe ( Germany)
The phone installed automatically 2 or 3 little software update. 20-30 Mb.
Now secondary Display don't supported anymore with Netflix, Prime.
I have installed a old Netflix Apk, but don't help
Maybe problem is a software update.
Can I install a Stock original firmware?
Try a factory reset. Sorry.
You can reflash to firmware that's compatible with the bootloader version.
It's the fifth digit from the end of both numbers (at least on Samsung's) You can't go to firmware version with a lower significant number.
If the update upgraded the boot loader your locked to it.
It wasn't a major update so you probably still can reflash to the original firmware.
Disable updates in the future though... you see why now.

Your going to have to hunt that firmware down.
I'm not familiar with that manufacturer. Get the right version though...
Maybe your carrier (whoever provided the problem update) will help.
Dig through settings, permissions etc.
Generally if you play with it and look for the answer long enough, you'll find it.
My bt went nuts the other day after a network reset. Never did that before. Took me about a hour of playing with the phone to restore it. Still not sure exactly what did... whatever.
Play with it... Androids wuv attention
There's a official app to flash your phone, link here https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds101291
