I don't know if you are informed but in the last weeks there were very bad news about this company:
- LeCloud closes on June 30
- Job cuts in India and in the USA
- Former employees have denounced LeEco and they are creating a new company
- CEO & CFO dismissals
- Arrests for industrial espionage
- Sale of land purchased in the USA
- Allegations of misappropriation
- Missed the deal with Vizio
- Closing of the EcoPass service
Well, what about the future of this company?
Who will supports our devices?
Noone knows I think, it's cheap phone with good specs so people buy it. If you worry maybe buy other brands instead. LeEco is like living on the edge now but they still make new phone I think. Don't worry they not shutdown yet.

The situation is worse than you think, trust me.
Seems like they might even not release le max 3 (x850) despite the early image leaks few months ago ?
I heard that they stopped smartphone production.
I read this:

i don't know what s your intention in spamming a developers forum with this off topic question again and again ?
I got 2 LeEco phones I am not worry, you can still use the phone whatever happen. They just bought Coolpad too so I don't think it's bad maybe people assume too much.

I'm worried because everyone is waiting for the new EUI 6 based on Nougat (they released a device in 2017 with Marshmallow!), everyone is waiting for the new hi-end lineup but they seems dead. What are they doing?

Not everyone, what we got for stock Eui Marshallow 21S, 23S, 26S everything work fine. If you like flashing there is also many custom Nougat roms to enjoy . Even with new stock Nougat rom, not much change for the device maybe some cosmetics stuff, looks etc which not really matter for me.
If I like update/new rom I will buy Xiaomi or Google phone not LeEco.

For every company, update their smartphones is an obligation (security patch and so on) and a demonstration of seriousness. I'm using the Resurrection Remix on my Le Max 2 and Nougat custom ROMs are incomplete just because LeEco still doesn't release Nougat officially.

Before I bought the phone I know the situation for the official rom update we might get or not get it. Above all there are more important things in life than smart phone.

Please, don't make philosophy in a tech forum. Nougat is a too much important upgrade (especially for big smartphones) to be ignored. Why are you defending this company so much? These are the facts and they are not good.

It's so difficult to just talk about the situation without polemicize or "fanboying"?
You're being obnoxious... People aren't buying this phone because of the LeEco brand, they're buying the Le Max 2 because it's a $196 phone with unbeatable specs for the price. There's no brand loyalty involved, it could've been from any other random Chinese brand for all I care. TBH, you have to be pretty ****ing stupid to expect any kind of support, either from the online Chinese stores that sell this phone to you at heavily discounted prices, or LeEco, a brand that I never heard of until recently. I already knew that their smartphone division was failing, so as people have been telling you... we bought this phone because of the specs and decent XDA support, I never expected LeEco to provide updates, matter of fact, some of the Le Max 2 variants ship with stock ROMs that have no update function like the American X829 variant.

Good luck you will need it. They almost never post it and when they do it is broken or incomplete. That's why developers won't buy their devices.

CM is slowly becoming the os for developing countries. Most roms no longer even use their source for anything.
Also you have to remember you get what you pay for. And every one plus device has had issues. Then add in the fact that they do things that upset people like their sexist ad campaign.
Yes a few roms for it. That comes from people buying the device and brining it up. The main developers for the roms never own them themselves.
You have to remember. Developers don't really care about the price of the device. If it is worth it they will pay for it. I can't blame them. I have paid full price for every device I have ever owned and they were always 700+. Takes a bit of saving. But if it's worth it then it's not a big deal.

You're a power user. Can the LG G6 keep up? Rate this thread to express how "healthy" the development scene is for the LG G6. A higher rating indicates available root methods, kernels, and custom ROMs.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
I think this being the only response in 7 weeks says it all, at least as far as development progress (or lack of).
I don't have a G6 yet, I get it later this morning. I've read most of the threads here and dozens of reviews over the past 2 weeks and Im still not sure what to expect.
Ive also been interested in the V20 but even though it was released over 6 months ago there's still not much development regarding root, custom ROMs etc.. Because of that and other incidental info I've gleaned it seems LG devices are harder to crack. It doesn't help that LG decide not to release particular models in the UK / Europe.
Ive been with my Xperia Z2 for just on 3 years now and for the first two of those the XDA forum was buzzing with development. There's less activity now as people upgrade to newer devices, but there's still more development happening than there is here and the V20 forum.
But I'm looking forward to trying the G6, I think the first few hours will help me decide if I want to to keep it or sell it on and consider either the V20 or Xperia XZ.
No doubt I'll be back posting in this forum pretty soon....
I had my G6 for an hour before swapping for it for a week old as-new V20 c/w LG Quick Cover and £150 cash
As beautiful as the G6 is it just wasn't for me. I didn't like the glass back, purely as I think even wearing a decent case it will be very vulnerable if dropped.
So I've been using the V20 just over a day and so far I'm really happy with my choice.
It's the H990ds Taiwan model, Titan (dark grey) and is an incredibly well built phone.
People are working towards root right now, I am following it on hangouts. Looks like the T-Mobile variant is the only one who will get it for a while, as it is the only one with an unlockable bootloader.

Who told you to buy the locked variant? Don't blame others for your mistakes. Also, Junior Member rank explains your rude attitude.

Despite its relatively poor software support it's very nice handheld. Camera is good enough for a phone, remember it's not a professional camera so don't expect fireworks. The only thing I'm not very satisfied about is slightly rounded screen but I'm used to it already.

Bro camera is good, bur not good according to the cost, it's very overpriced according to the features it's providing. And the varients confusion over that, I wanted to buy h870 as I'm in Europe but h870ds was delivered. So this different region different varients create confusion. Lg is known for best hardware, and this different varients thing is a negative point of lg. They should release same devices for every region.
Okay so I've spoken to Samsung today and they said that basically they will start rolling out oreo to the note 8 once they have rolled out oreo for the s8 and s8 plus for all carriers / regions
I'm assuming its in case there are even more bugs like the restart bug also the second reason they didn't role out with note 8 is because the note 8 will have some features the s9 has due to it having dual cameras so oreo will bit slightly different than the s8 one.
Samsung have also confirmed they will be rolling out bixby 2.0 along with the note 9 around August time. I'm assuming oreo isn't too far off for us note 8 users as they also told me to keep checking for updates (unless that's just something they are told to say)
They will most likely roll oreo out to German users first like they did with the s8.
So, do we really know when it happens? I don't think that this is any news to us. I was surely prepared that we have to wait for s8 to get oreo first so nothing really changes
Excuse me sir, I don't see where "We finally know when ..." here in your post.
Nothing new, same story, really no need to open a new thread ...
we DO know when...... it's LATER
and, its funny that you think some CS agent who answered your phone call has some sort of inside info that the rest of the world doesnt already have..it will come when it comes, and not a minute sooner
target May I reckon. Samsung are hopeless in updating devices. Nothing since Sept to end Jan then 2 since. Oreo is a mile off and they won't release it until the S9 is out there with it on otherwise no one would update!
Historically, I have received the current OS update in the beginning of April on my Notes. I have Tmobile.
Ha ha. I can't believe the suckers that hang on Samsung's every word regarding updates. I have had Samsung mobiles (and several tablets) since the Galaxy S and the updates are either very late or not at all. Not to mention they are generally also full of bugs and need updated again after a couple of months.
I just rooted my Note 8 running 7.1.1 as I know from personal experience Oreo will be late and buggy as hell. No interest in waiting for it whatsoever as the phone works perfectly as is.
Holy **** I was just trying to help people who don't know ?? you're all so salty and ****s towards me lmfao grow up its just an update hahaha little kids

The wording of your post made it seem like you had a definitive date. We all know the update flow, or at least anyone paying attention.
Also a phone rep is notoriously useless when it comes to that kind of information because they don't get daily updates from the folks debugging software and writing/porting code. Not to mention it's a good way for them to disappoint a lot of people when the QA process prevents the previously stated schedule from being met.
I know when we will get the software too, when a threshold of quality has been met that they deem acceptable.
At this point the mods may as well lock this thread

I always been a big fun of HTC, but when I dropped my Samsung, I was shopping for the phone with good battery life. U11 came out at the same time but was nothing excited about it and I looked at LG G6. No doubt, it was a great looking phone, probably the best looking no-bezel phone at the time of it’s release. Awesome battery life and only $599
So… I got one from HK. It came with all toys including large memory 64Gb of RAM and Quad DAC audio processing. But no wireless charging. Its for US market only. Smart people at LG probably thought it’s a great idea to give SEA customers more RAM because their songs are longer. Someone must’ve spent lot’s of money on this research. US model came with no Quad DAC…
So now one year later, my phone sitting with September 2017 security update. Indian model had March update already. Again, LG must think there is a reason to secure this particular region more than HK. Who will hack anything in HK one may ask?
Just before releasing LG7, LG creates software update center to ensure updates and updates Korean version just before LG7 is released with another gimmick called ThinQ. And yes, it’s not even Oreo 8.1
So will you upgrade to G7, which cost almost $1000, has nothing to offer other than AI (which was promised to be on 8.0 update for G6, but isn’t) Will you buy any of LG phones? You guess my answer…
I love my G6, I can run it almost 2 days, wide lens camera is awesome, but I do not have phone which manufacture will obsolete in less than 1 year.
Luckily HTC U12 will be out at the end of the month, I can wait.
I can wait for OnePlus 6 as well..

And when you buy the phone you know it have no wireless charger, or not?
I don't know why people use xda only for complaining, never a solution. And I don't speak about your particular situation, but in general. Some of mine last phone was oneplus 3t and nexus 6, and people complain about update also on them. Thing like 'OMG yesterday pixel 2 got this and we not, why, cry...' or 'never another oneplus because....' all the time.
I normally choose a phone because I like it, if I don't I buy something else.
If I buy a thing and after some time I write on the forums that this thing is horrible, I think I will appear dumb...
Nothing personal, just my two cents.
No Way I do the same mistake and buy an LG phone again! Very bad supporr.
This company does not respect their costumers
Nah I'm getting a Pixel or OnePlus in a few years. LG is getting bad. I don't like the software skin either.

Fact is that G5 received more updates (and it's actually more up to date here in Europe) than G6 in the same window of time, this is not a predictable thing, moreover when G5 was one of the first devices to receive Nougat.

You are right, that is a big problem, we can cry together until LG do something.
In your list of reasons why you bought the phone was there any though given to the update frequency? Yes, because lg said that the device was to get updates on par with the other devices released at the time. Google is getting ready to drop Android P and we're still on 7 that in itself is reason enough to be disappointed in lg. I think I'm still on the Dec patch. They can't even get those to us with some reliability. Then there's the locked versions where you can't root the thing and do it yourself if nothing else.

I would not buy it again.
ColorOS is really bad.
You can't have more than 5 apps starting up.
ColorOS disables apps.
Support is really bad.
There is no other rom to to put on
The phone it's self is great, but that's where the good things about it end.

i think it's worth to buy it, the kernel source code just released and it's gonna be custom development in near time.
I Stongly advise against it (take notice) they are charging £799, I paid £500 ok it was the chinese version. However ColorOS is painfully bad, development despite the kernel source being available will be non existent, as the bootloader needs unlocked, this as yet can't be done without the deep test which is impossible.
It's by design one of the best I have owned, but I sold and bought the Vivo Nex S, which is way better and again only paid £500.
Don't say you weren't warned ......buy at your own risk and at £799 well that's quite the risk...
Have fun......

Thank you, your input is quite insightful.
Not to mention you may have saved me money, good'o
I have the international version and my previous phone was a iPhone. I am not into development so the issues that some raise do not concern me. I am even too scared to change my theme to the ones advertised on this forum as I might mess something up. For me the phone is great, it ticks all the boxes and looks amazing. The only gripe I have is that on the international version which I own the theme store is not enabled. Hopefully they will enable it soon. I also like that not many have it, so it's unique, but that is also a bad thing as the aftermarket support as far as repairs and cases excreta are very limited. Would I buy again? Yes.
I have the UK version (my third FX) and can confirm it still has all the notification issues as usual.
Hi, anyone from UK. If you see this. DON'T BUY ANY PHONE FROM OPPO.
