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?

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.

I have been trying to update my wife's bone stock S6 to Marshmallow today. When I check for updates, it shows that it is available. I tell it to download and I immediately get an "update failed to download". It does it on both wifi and lte. I've tried rebooting. Does anyone know what causes this error or how I can get the update installed? Is the update file out there to download it so I could do a manual flash?
Same issue. Very annoying.
same
Having the same problem with my s6 but my wifes s6 edge updated with no problems
Same issue here. Tried through the desktop updater as well but no update was found.
I really hope this isn't some April fools joke. Because it's doing the same thing for me.
Update has been pulled.
Apparently the update has been pulled.
This is From Verizon support:
"We have had a couple other customers chat in with the same issue (in the past 10 minutes) and we did confirm with Samsung that the Marshmallow update is on hold right now because of some bug fixes. They do not have an estimated time for the release of the update yet but once it is known it will become public."
We've been had. Jokes on is! Good one, Samsung assholes!
This is pure bull ****. Same problem here, update unsuccessful. Just great. 20 months later and I still can't get it, bad enough I can't root... wah.
They'll probably take another few months to release it again. Google really needs to put pressure on the providers to release these updates quicker.
Scratch that. About a half hour after my comment above, the update is downloading.
Was getting the same error. I just powered my phone off then turned it back on. Update screen popped up and it's downloading now.
Yep. I'm on Marshmallow now.
I was able to update just now as well.
Updated here as well.

This if ****ing retarded. Ive downloaded like 10 times and it fails between 1-30% every ****ing time. WTF!!!
I just noticed that I am on the April 2nd Security patch. I wonder if those that updated yesterday are showing a different patch level. Was there actually a bug that Verizon was able to pull, fix, and re-release in only hours? That has to be a record.
Anyone know where I can find the odin files for this?

Hello. I just received a new OTA, dav-703lc233b212_b229. I thought the b212 was the last one. Anybody else?
Received it this morning, haven't installed it yet.
anyone dares/wants to try out? /p8max
Last update f-uped my phone..
Seems to work
The last update broke all Google apps. Nonetheless I gave this one a go this morning. So far so good, android 6 with Dec 2018 update. An update that worked was long overdue!
Not noticed any differences yet, nothing appears to be broken
cool :good::highfive:
but whats better now? its not an android version upgrade,,just UI fixes? How could the phone go up on android os version?
Thanks!
Ditto.
Received, did not install, maybe never will, based on the last negative experience mentioned above/below.
but still interested if anyone installs it

Is the update still OK? It is nagging me to install but I don't want to degrade the phone like last time.
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.

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.
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.
