Perhaps Pie has better performance and battery, but i still prefer Oreo because has better features to me like brightness, Wifi more stable, funcional Dolby, calls record, no disturbing alarm clock,etc..
What do you think?
I liked OOS Oreo because it was faithful to stock Android. With Pie, they changed the design of the phone, settings, etc. apps to a cheaper looking design. I really like the new transition animations and the notification management, but the design is inconsistent, the recent apps screen is buggy even in the final release. These small things end up irking me. It seems unfinished, unpolished while Oreo was buttery clean and smooth. I'll probably revert to it once I have some time to spare.
Ha
FAIL
For me, i like the added smoothness and the changed System UI, others could disagree with me (it's totally fine no hatred) but it's more prominent compared to oreo.
Personnaly i have battery problems compared to oreo , the pie battery seems much worse...
I would like to go back to oreo for that reason
Android Pie
pie bring so many change like typing magnifier, volume slider at the right position but the thing i love the most is the animation, its look so much better than oreo. Though it have some catch, pie recent panel like....nah
Dunno what everyone else's issues are with Pie. My phone is significantly improved as regards battery, auto brightness works (hint, you have to turn it on), no problems at all with it.
Then again, I upgraded from a freshly wiped phone, I didn't upgrade over a whole lot of junk apps.
I updated from latest Oreo rooted TWRP with ex kernel to Pie. Flashed in TWRP, flashed TWRP reboot to recovery and flashed 17.2 Magisk and all way fine. I wiped cache in phone and recovery and no battery issues at all. Slightly better then Oreo. Not really a fan of the new settings (gotta embrace change) other than that, Pie is a big time go!

Finally! I'm downloading as well, T-Mobile
Got mine to...
Downloading it now.
Honestly the most disappointing os upgrade ive ever seen. Reminds me why i dont use an lg as a daily driver any more.
If nothing else, the new Android 11 upgrade does enable Stand-Alone 5G (per the T-Mobile website). That, in itself, is probably worth the upgrade!

Unfortunately, w/the V60, 5G SA was not enabled in the software on Android 10 - even with the R15 SIM. Glad I'm now able to share the true 5G experience you've been enjoying!

Hmm, i had even confirmed it with several signal apps that it was SA, and even had SA speeds. I moved on to oneplus now and just use my v60 for media casting.

No upgrade here in Europe for Sim free.
It is available for AT&T as well. I had to manually check for updates, then it started downloading. It didn't tell me how large the update was or any changes, so I had no idea if it was the Android 11 update or a security update until it finished the update.
I've ran the update and can confirm it is Android 11.
A few things I've immediately noticed based off of MY experiences on Android 10,
The performance was laggy on first boot (expected after a software upgrade), but has since smoothed out and seems overall faster than Android 10, but that could just be due to the improved gesture navigation; more on that below.
The gesture navigation controls are much more reliable, animations are smoother, and functionality less glitchy.
This improvement is very noticeable when quick switching apps by swiping left/right on the gesture bar:
Sometimes it would skip 2 apps back and jump forward to the correct (previous) app
Animate to the previous app but snap back to the current app
Simply not register the gesture at all
I haven't experienced any of these again yet.
The recent apps screen scrolls MUCH smoother as well.
Speaking of gesture controls, it now "floats" above the rest of the apps similar to iOS instead of having it's own dedicated nav bar and the gesture "pill" itself (not really a pill on this phone lol) is slightly bigger. You can see the difference in my first 2 screenshots
EDIT: The gesture pill still has it's own bar at the bottom, but it appears that its background is able to color match with the opened app (similar to the notification bar) which makes it look like it's sitting on top of the opened app.
The notification shade has a UI update. Looks better IMO.
If you use the stock LG launcher, the swipe down search tool loads faster, but there's still a noticeable delay before you can type anything
You can also change the "accent" color. My accent color is blue in my first screenshot, but it changed to green after the 11 update. You can change the color in the settings.
Taking screenshots is instant. No more holding down the key combo for a second.
There's emoji updates
There is a minor update to the blank contact image (see previous screenshot).
I saw some changelogs online that mentioned some camera app UI updates...it doesn't look any different to me??
And of course the FB Messenger style chat bubbles are now supported for other apps including the stock LG Messaging app.
Andoird 11 update has been horrible. Battery that prior to update lasted all day, now lasts 5-6 hours, phone runs hot, and WiFi AND 5G symbols are BOTH always on.
This might be the end of the line for me with LG.
Any news about the Canadian version?
I'm on AT&T and updated to Android 11 earlier this week. It resulted in a black screen soft-brick. I could still see the touches (from dev mode) where fingers tapped the screen. And if I held down the Power button, I'd see the typical Power Down / Restart / Etc. options, and tapping on them would generate the appropriate responses. But in all other instances, it was just a black screen. I figured my HEAVY de-bloating of Android 10 when I first got the phone caused something to break.
So I went ahead and did a full factory restore using recovery/safe mode and set it up as a new phone, and haven't had any serious issues since. I went ahead and got almost everything (minus Fluid Navigation Gestures, RIP) working the way I wanted, and embarked on another HEAVY de-bloating process. Seems like I took things too far, because, upon my next reboot, I was in the exact same black screen soft-brick state I mentioned above.
Another factory reset. Another session of restoring my apps, launcher, settings, and customizations. This time, I just used Package Disabler Pro for LG from the Google Play Store to perform some more restrained bloatware disabling, and everything's been pretty great. For Android 10 and the first attempt at de-bloating Android 11, I was using ADB commands to "uninstall" dozens upon dozens of system apps. Battery life is not quite as good as it was with my heavily de-bloated Android 10 environment, but I didn't expect it to be, and I'm not going to risk messing this all up again.
My only complaint is that stock AOD (and Sidelight Notifications) don't seem to be working properly, no matter how I configure them in Settings. I'm not sure what's causing the issue, but I actually developed this problem just a few days BEFORE the AT&T OTA landed, and it's persisted through a full Android point upgrade and two factory resets, so I imagine there's a conflict somewhere. Maybe with Fluid Simulation - Trippy Stress Reliever (my live wallpaper app of choice), Energy Bar, or Nova Launcher. I haven't been able to pinpoint it yet, but since it predates the Android 11 OTA by a few days, there must be another cause.
I do miss Fluid Navigation Gestures, but I'm happy to report that the new Android 11 gestures are way better than Android 10's. Not quite as customized as I had FNG, but I've adapted. Until/unless someone figures out how to hide the navigation bar without root, LG's gestures it is, I guess.
First thing I noticed was that I can now set a minimum brightness from the navigation bar .... This is a huge improvement as before the brightness would go to zero in a dark room... Now I can choose how low I want it to go and still automatically increase when needed ..
Finally SIM free in Europe got the Android 11 update.

There is a thread on reddit saying that this is the result of fingerprint locking. Try with pin unlock instead and see if battery life improves.

Kindly can you extract us the KDZ file from your phone and share it here?
Otherwise can you share here all apk files for LG V60 after android 11 update?
Thnx n Adv.
Hello all (and thanks in advance). I just upgraded from a G8 to a V60 and got some questions that I am hoping you all can help me with. I have the TMo variant with the latest update (A11)
- I have heard about fingerprint sensor can lead to battery drain. How would I notice if I have a problem and any workarounds? (So far battery hasn't shown an issue)
- Any good launchers for the dual screen?
- I noticed the auto brightness on it is too low. Any workarounds or fixes? It is the worst auto brightness I have seen.
- Any way to get the 2 button gesture on V60 (like was on G8)? I am not a fan of the new gesture setup
- Any covers for the outside of the dual screen? (I saw some posts with dead links)
- Best version of GCam to use?
- If using stock camera app, any suggestions for set up?
- Any other advice?
Welcome! I like this phone a lot, and am saddened that LG is pulling out of the mobile industry entirely.
I can't answer all of your questions, but I'll try to tackle some of them.
- I haven't heard of any battery drain due to the fingerprint sensor, and after owning this for almost 13 months, I can't say I've experienced anything of the sort. If it's there, it's so minimal as to be unnoticeable. I have slightly less battery life on Android 11 than I did with Android 10, but that's only because I had to tone down my aggressive de-bloating (which worked fine on Android 10, but causes soft-bricks on Android 11). I haven't had the time to troubleshoot, so I just kept the de-bloating to a minimum with Android 11 and deal with slightly shorter battery life. It's still more than long enough to suit my needs just fine.
- I haven't used my dual-screen in almost a year, but back then, there were no options for alternative launchers. I main Nova Prime, so while that was working fine for the phone itself, the dual-screen attachment was stuck using a version of LG's native Home launcher. Sucks, and it's one of a many reasons why I wound up stashing my dual-screen attachment in a box somewhere and stored it away. If you do use it, maybe check out the WideMode for LG app. I believe it was created for the G8, but when I last checked, it worked fine on the V60 dual-screen attachment and may increase your device's utility.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.refy.android.g8x.widemode
- I've noticed that on Android 11, the auto-brightness doesn't work nearly as well as it did on Android 10 (I've even factory reset multiple times). Sometimes I have to pull down the notification shade and toggle auto-brightness off and then right back on. Helps, but it's hardly a permanent fix. Seems to be a bug introduced with Android 11, and given the state of LG's future in mobile, I wouldn't bank on it being a priority fix.
- Not sure what you mean about the G8's navigation gestures (never used that phone). Their stock Android 11 gestures are MUCH better than the garbage they had for Android 10, IMO. That's the bright side. The crap part is that Android 11 nixed the part of the API that let third-party navigation gesture apps hide the Navigation Bar, and I don't think this is something that can be addressed without root now. I used to use the amazing Fluid Navigation Gestures app when I was still on Android 10, but had to ditch it for Android 11. So yeah, 11's gestures are better than 10's, but they're still a step down from FNG, IMO.
- I thought the dual-screen attachment was built into its own case-like accessory. You can replace this? I had no idea and have nothing to contribute here. Sorry.
- I'd kind of like to know about GCam too.
- And if GCam is not possible, I wouldn't mind guidance on the stock LG camera app, which is what I use (everything on default settings).
- Good luck, and I hope you enjoy the phone!

Thanks for insights. Wondering what were you able to debloat and how?
There was an old thread from around when the phone first launched dedicated to de-bloating, but as I discovered, it's basically specific to Android 10, and trying to duplicate the process on Android 11 led to some soft-bricks (at least for me, with an American AT&T device running on the AT&T network).
It involved using ADB commands to manually "uninstall" a whole bunch of system packages. It was tedious, and having to factory reset when something goes wrong to try again with fewer packages is a bit of a pain in the butt. So I largely gave up on that process and just wound up using the recommendations included with this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdmdm.dmplay
That said, I noticed that a new thread popped up in March 2021 explaining the ADB method but providing a new list of packages (including T-Mobile- and AT&T-specific bloat) to remove. Going by the date the thread went up, I assume it's for Android 11, but I don't think they actually specify that. I have NOT yet tested this, so I can't vouch for it. But it seems promising, and it probably beats a thread that's nearly a year old and DID cause issues for me after the Android 11 update.

Hello, I have been having problems since the day I installed OxygenOS 11 on my OP 8, but over time it got worse, recently it is hard to even open the phone because sometimes it just blocks, for a couple of seconds, or if I lock the screen while I have a fullscreen app on, I would get an error message saying that UI has stopped working.
I tried a factory reset and even went back to OxygenOS 10, which worked way better, but with all the notifications every restart I accidentally reinstalled android 11, and the same problems came again, lag, performance, and battery issues, heating, etc.
I was wondering if there is a fix currently, or if there is a recommended ROM to have most of the features but a more stable and customizable since I have been thinking about flashing one for some time now.
Thank you in advance!
Hlw good people. I'm facing problem in double tap to wake. For experience i flash roolback firmware oxygen os 9 android version 9 also where double tap to wake on display work perfectly but after updating to android 10 or 11 it doesn't work at all. Then i tried some custom rom like crdroid, pixel experience and kosp but my double tap to wake on display and single tap to wake doesn't work. After that again i flash oxygen os 9 and it worked again . What is the problem? Is there any solution? Please help.
Thanks.
I also have the same problem as you. When I flashed to Android 9 with 9008, double tap to wake is working, once upgraded to Android 10 or 11, double tap to wake is not working anymore.
I think it may be that we have a special batch of 7 Pro hardware in our hands, In the previous OTA updates to fix the double-tap wake issue, OnePlus seems to have forgotten us.
But don't worry bro, I'm one of the internal test group for the Chinese version of ColorOS 12 and I've given feedback on this issue to the OPPO development engineers (oneplus is not oneplus anymore, lol) and detailed feedback on social media platforms （To this end, I recorded the whole process of upgrading from Android 9 to ColorOS 12 to prove that double tap to wake is not available, and it also includes several touch log extractions.）and the engineers told me they are trying to find the reasons of the issue.If this issue is fixed, I think the same will be available in OxygenOS 12.

Unfortunately, after I updated colorOS beta 2, this issue still hasn't been fixed. I learned from the OPPO staff who docking with me, the 7 Pro was done by a foreign OPPO development team (not Chinese OPPO team), which means that the system development was outsourced. The OPPO staff told me that the foreign developer directly shut down the issue of this problem.
This is disappointing to me, both in the way they outsourced the development of the system and in the way the developers simply closed the issue because they couldn't find the cause of the problem.
But I'm still continuing to interface with OPPO staff and hope to bring good news in beta 3.
But then again, OPPO promised that coloros 12.1 for 7 pro would be publicly tested in June, yet it is only now, a month after beta 1 was released, that beta 2 was released, even extremely perfunctory, many obvious and serious bugs were not fixed in beta 2, OPPO's attitude towards 7 pro users is worth pondering.
Bro, I can only tell you: leave, stay away from the current oneplus and don't get your hopes up for the 7Pro. I'm using Xiaomi MIX4 as my daily phone now.
I am actually on closed beta 3 Color OS.
Very, nice. Fluid and the double tap issue seems to be resolved.

Good news! I got the solution from my friend and my double tap to wake has worked properly. The most bizarre thing is that the OnePlus aftermarket didn't know how to fix the problem, it was another friend who came up with the cause of the problem by trying to replace the phone's motherboard, and the cause of the problem was a screen driver issue. Here's how to fix it
1. Upgrade the latest ColorOS 12 / OxygenOS 12 (necessary)
2. Enter *#899# in the dialer into EngineerMode
3. Click manual test, select the second horizontal tab DEVICE DEBUGGING, then select the TouchScreen option below
4. Enter the password 6776 (I'm using ColorOS, but I'm not sure if this is the password for Oxygen OS)
5. Follow !!the red tips!! to start calibrate until the green PASS tips.
After exiting you will find that the double click wake up is working properly, then you can return to the old build to swipe in any custom ROM and enjoy
(Off topic, OnePlus after sales service is really bad, for nothing I sent so many emails with their CSSF team)
It worked. Thank you so much
