Is there any word on when the LG G5 will get the monthly android security updates from Google?
I'm on Rogers in Canada, and I haven't seen one since last September.
I'm Latest on November Nougat

To my surprise when I checked my phone after Oniska replied, I have the November update to 7.0 installed. No idea when that was installed or how to be honest.
I'm installing bridge as we speak to see if there's anything newer.

Nope. Nothing newer than November. Google has put out some massive updates lately that are critical security fixes and I'd like them installed. Guess I have to wait for a provider update.
I got an update just this week, it was a security patch and it delivered nothing else.
My battery is still has an incredible drain.
Its an update from February 1th, i recieved it on my H860, SEA version, aka the Singapore version

Nothing to do with the network provider, my UK unbranded H850 is still on Nov2016. It is LG that is way behind the curve.
LS992 USA Sprint variant. Got my phone directly from LGE customer service center here in February.
My security patch is *older* (Jan. 1, 2017) than my phone manufacture date (Jan. 25. 2017) :silly:
Current patch level

My patch level is March 1 2017 since I got my latest update (last week) to 20b dated April 5.
When I was on stock it was months out of data I rang LG to complain and even the support people had a security version months out of date, November i think
I think this is shameful, only way to be secure is break your warranty
April 10 - 2017
Still on 1st November ??

I just been given a new Lg G5 H850 Uk sim free from work.
When I first ran the phone I had to do about 4 updates, which is now at Nov 16 and no more updates available?
I have tried over the air and Lg bridge, surely there must be a newer update than this with all the security updates Google has sent out?
My Moto Z was up to March 17 with updates.
Is this what to expect of LG?

I spoke to LG support and they said there's no need for security updates. Took 2 hours of web chat to get a phone call to tell me the same thing.
Very odd, no need for security updates???

Yup that was the official response I got from LG too. They basically either have no idea what LG ever plan to release or don't want anyone to know ?.
There are new KDZs just recently released though ?. Search around and you will find what you are looking for ?.

Yeah, I had a 1 chat with their web chat support who escalated and had a supervisor call me to say the same thing. I asked if he can assure me that my phone was safe from exploits since Nov2016 till now. He obviously couldn't so he took my IMEI to work out my model (god knows why) and then took my details to find out when the update is coming.
Suffice to say I don't expect any answers this side of the century.

Hi ******,
Thank you for your query regarding your LG G5,
I have spoken with the tech team in the office and they have informed me that since November 2016 there have been no security risks that have required an update so one has not been performed. If the need for an update arises then your phone will be automatically prompted to perform this update.
We tend to release these updates either when neccessary or when a large update has been created.
At this moment in time there is no reason for an update for so one has not been created, if you have questions regarding this please get back in touch.
I hope my email has answered your query and assisted you today; I would really appreciate your feedback! Please help us to improve our customer service by completing the short survey after this email.
after this answer and my experiences with LG phones, i will try an other manufacturer next time!

I'm so glad I got the opportunity to give frank feedback.
I think it is quite dishonest of LG to state they are committed to monthly security updates but be almost 6 months behind... for a flagship that was released last year that's out of order.
Hello,
I contacted LG Customer Service. I had a few questions about my G6 model and the question was about the security patch. They told me that the next update would be realeased by February. I think it's easy to conclude that this will be the Android 8.0 Oreo update.

You know that Customer Service has no way to know that, right? They're just a bunch of people payed to listen and answer, they have no say or even contact (mostly) with the development team, if not for some important news. Since Oreo is still in beta, they really can't know it for sure (in fact, they weren't sure).
My advice is to let it go and wait for some ufficial statement or, well, for the update.

By February doesn't mean in February. You might want to change the title cause by Fabruary means that oreo is scheduled for january

Can anyone enlighten me as regards to why Verizon have not updated this device?
Wish I could. Sprint is still on the February security update. Samsung just released the May update.
Yup, been on February since I got the phone. I have a Verizon model S9+. My wife's Verizon Note 8 is already on the May security patch.

This is very typical for Verizon and Samsung. We will be lucky to get the may patch before August or September. If we get it all.
Would be nice if the next update was to 8.1 though! Or even P. Im content with the device for now. I am not overly concerned about the security pathc.
AT&T S9+ variant here....
Also still on February patch. My wife has the Note 8 on AT&T, on the May patch.
Sprint has, in the past, been pretty good with security patches, running about 30 - 40 days behind Google. But it seems all the carriers have dropped the ball on this phone. Wonder what the issue is.
I just came over from an S8+ on Xfinity that was patched twice in one month.. kinda surprised this one is behind considering it's the new flagship phone...
Thank all of you for your input!
They had an issue around April update which caused a bootloop. It's not Verizon, or the carriers that are holding this one up but Samsung making sure it works. I update from sammobile now anyways. I know it's not what you want to hear but I understand why they would want to hold it. We would be crushing Samsung and the carrier if they released an update that caused a bootloop.

My Verizon S6's always got the security patches pretty timely and my Wife's Note 8 has been getting them like clockwork as well.
Well, I have to eat my words. I just got the May Security Patch update on my Verizon S9+
Thats pretty good!
I just got the new security patch. Does anyone know what they add besides security?

Got the February security patch this morning. Hair under 200 megs. Unlocked S10e, T-Mobile.
Does gesture navigation work on 3rd party laincher with feb security update?
Hopefully when AT&T pushes out the February update, the darn bugs will be fixed. I am sick of my keyboard just disappearing to the bottom of the screen at random times and the "in the pocket unlock bug" which appears on the lock screen because my phone somehow thinks it was in my pocket when it wasn't.
What's the name of the February update? BTA2?

No because they take 12 years to roll it out. I am on AT&T as well.
Finally got a February AT&T update yesterday.

Does it update the bootloader to version 3?
Yep.
I'm planning on getting this phone this week but before I pull the trigger, I just wanted to ask how are updates for this phone (will be used on T-Mobile)? Have they been updating to latest security patches? Do they have plans for android 11?
So just in general, have your experience been good with the phone, would you still buy this over other phones? Thanks!
There was an update today for me for the June 1 security patch.
