The LG gPad 7 V400 Lollipop 5.0.2 is out!! !! - LG G Pad 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

I just checked and it's there

Yes man!
I just received the OTA notification 20 minutes ago and I installed it immediately! Now the tablet is updating apps, still a few minutes..
I have LG G Pad 7 WiFi only..

I can confirm, I've installed update yesterday. The only problem is the lack of space on the device (I had to uninstall many apps and clear temp files for update to proceed to the end), but this is minor issue, and i knew about this (change to ART). I was really hoping for OTA to at least 5.0, so i'm very happy with my choice right now (other option for me was Dell Venue).

Yeppa! Update completed, Lollipop on board!
First (negative) thing I noticed is an issue that also appears on LG G2 (I updated it 2 days ago): clearing Recent apps requires quite a second.. I can clearly see the round progress bar in that second.. Don't know why but I hope they'll fix..
A question to who is still on KK: how much physical space does System Data take? You can see it from Settings / Storage / Misc. Lollipop takes 4.20 GB, but I don't remember how much did KitKat..
Thanks guys..

On lollipop more space is reserved for system (v700 model)

can someone dump system from Lollipop 5.0.2 and upload it somewhere?

3.90 GB on KitKat, so it looks a like a minor increase. Downloading Lollipop OTA right now :victory: I honestly did not expect an update for this device

why not? I did, and it was one of the reason why I bought it! LG always said that the entire G Pad tablet line would have received Lollipop, and they keep their promise!
Funny for me was that usually I always read OTA / firmware update online and then receive it or manually flash (just like for example Nexus 7, LG G2, OnePlus One, all the Samsung Galaxy line etc): this is maybe the first time (except the Froyo/Gingerbread days) the OTA notif really surprised me!! Funny!

I bought it on sale and I watched good reviews, so I didn't buy it expecting an update.
Also, since day 1 it felt like a second line: there was the Pad 8.3 and 10.1, which were "famous", and then this 7.0 popped up with no publicity at all. Not really available almost anywhere (Spain), not many news or forums about it, so I didn't expect to have an update for a non-famous product.
And finally, it works soooooo good I didn't need an update. But of course, I can't resist an update, even less if it's Lollipop (the reason I bought my Nexus 5).
I check once a month anyway, and I googled V400 lollipop an hour ago just "for fun" and I saw this thread, and I was like :cyclops:
Anyway I'm really glad LG kept supporting it! :laugh:

i tried to update mine but i forgot to remove towelroot. i got a message that my device is suspected of rooting and cannot update. can you guys please help me in fixing this? thanks

I'm having this too. I'm on my 3rd strike here. I tried unrooting via SuperSu and uninstalling the residual Supersu apk. I'm trying not to factory reset. Will let you know how it works out.

Hey. Just download LG PC Suite (used Windows) and click Check Updates on the pc suite with the tablet connected. The Suite will show you the update after a few minutes and will update via usb.
It's updating apps on bootup now, but it's lollipop and doesn't seem to have wiped (based on the number of apps being updated).
Good luck

just like me, same history.. except that on November (or maybe October??) I read news about LG explaining which phones and tablet would have been update.. the G Pad 7 was there!!
I have to admit that I never loved LG beforethe last 2 years: then I bought the G2 and I started to reconsider the thing.. the G2 is a superb device! Then LG released G3 G Flex 2, G Pad 8.3 and a few entry level phones.. What I still like is the fact that all the LG smartphones look totally different from the competitors ones, even the Bello, Joy entry entry entry entry level devices! And that narrowed bezel on the G2? Amazing!!
And so, this is the story about I started to lie LG!
And when two months ago we decided to buy a new tablet choices were he Asus MeMoPad, Asus FonePad, Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 Lite and G Pad 7. It was not a real matc, no way! G Pad 7 won!

Since I just use it to read some news in bed and not so much, didn't keep updated on it, as I do with the phone.
But I agree with you. I had the LG Optimus Black and after it didn't love LG. Looked cheap and bad. But these last couple of years they are doing great. These tablets and the G3 generation is just awesome. I fell in love with the G3S (G3 mini) although for update matters I ended up with the Nexus (which is LG lol...)

Lollipop for LG7 V400
Great I got lollipop by flashing the firmware again because of root in Android Kitkat but now I lost my root and powelroot doesn't work in Lollipop .
Anyone has a solution????????????????
Thanks Guys for your help

O2x Embarrassingly slow

Had to sort out my Brothers HTC Desire last night, reinstalling everything after a repair.
It was embarrassing seeing how fast installations were.
Apps downloaded, installed and the phone was instantly ready to go.
My O2x on the other hand grinds to a halt when installing anything. I updated 4 apps last night and my phone was pretty much unusable during the downloads and installation.
After the apps were installed it still sat there for a good 30secs at 99-100% CPU usage.
The phone was stuttering and unusable until the Processor settled down.
I remember when I got this phone I was telling my brother about the Dual core processor etc. This may sound good but it's useless if it falls over when doing the most simple of tasks and gets outperformed by something running half the power
yes, a very annoying bug, welknown by everyone - except LG
very embarrising for LG
Yep, a pretty good cockup by LG. Custom ROMs don't have this 'feature' though.
is there any way to sort this without resorting to a custom ROM?
No, you'd need to wait for LG to sort it.

Looks like there could be a long wait ahead. lol
The fix will be out before end of March next year, maby. As soon as we (LG) sorted the reboot and BSOD issue we (LG) will start working on your problem.
So in two weeks a year from now we promise you there will be a solution, if not sometime in spring 2013 for sure.
Althou we (LG) can't promise anything.
If you buy your telephone after summer 2013 you will be able to upgrade it to Gingerbread straight out of the box. Congrats!

There is a patch that Paul has made a week after the phones release.
r2-stock-performance-pack
And here is the explanation why this happens.
Explanation
Note the date of the post and mind that the phone was released In Europe In the last May weeks / begin of April.
If only every Android phone manufacturer gave their phones to Paul before release.

I looked at that but had also heard it didn't fix the lag.
My other concern was would Flashing CWM Recovery affect getting official updates OTA
I'm sure someone has said before that LG updates fail if you have a custom recovery
If they're a standard update.zip then they should still install on ClockworkMod recovery.
i dont get it, am i the only one without any sort of lag when dling/installing apps ? it just does it, and pretty darn fast too.
what the hell. and im on STOCK, no performance patches or nothing, only rooted and some stuff frozen. v10B
I have a lag as well. Like you just rooted with some apps uninstalled.
I kinda accept it though. My thoughts are that FSecure is scanning the install and therefore that's what's causing the problem. It's worse if you update say 4-5 apps at once.
TBH I'm not worried. I'm the kinda guy who just leaves a PC installing and hass a cup of tea. Same difference here really isn't it?
It's not F-Secure, it does it with that removed.

[Q] Android L on LG 950 or any G flex model

Well given that its going to release officially Nov 3rd are there any specific needs or shall i say requirements to get the room build or ported over to our devices.
I saw a couple things stating it would release about the same time with the G2 Lollipop update Q1 of 2015

I'm due for an upgrade on the jump plan and have been for several months. I really like the oneplus 1 and the g3 but I can't seem to give up a phone that has a damn near unbreakable screen and draws so much attention to its sexy curves to go to a phone that I'm sure to break the first drop it has. But I've made up my mind and I'm going to eventually go to the nexus 6 (with a two foot leash attached to my wrist so it can't make it to the ground)

haha yep. or you could just go with a ballistic case. when i was doing mechanic work with my g2 wrapped in one my phone would fall from 10-15 feet high,i would constantly roll over it with my body, it would fly outta my hands and the phone was still perfect. im debating to spend another 700 on a phone right after im paying 700 for my flex. its still in the air,but, i want a nexus 6 very badly.
yeah since the final set of code is released today and ppl can start building i wonder who is gonna come out with a working rom first on the flex . pluse i havent been able to root my flex since its update to kitkat sucks but waiting on something that will work fully on it

I have a issue then when I connect my phone to my computer it stays on PC software it won't let me change it to mtp or anything else im sure I have the proper drivers installed and I even factory flashed the phone back to stock
Install the software and it may let you change then. Also before connecting go to settings/PC connection/select USB connection method and select the method you want then back up one page to settings/PC connection and uncheck "ask upon connection" so it doesn't give you a prompt asking what to do.

I've always been of the mind that people are more likely to post to complain than otherwise. You rarely see, "hey, this is great!" .. I think it is often assumed that posting those kinds of comments add nothing to the discussion, so people don't do it...

Agreed. I see what you did there.
If it turns out to be true and even if they they just push it to those who oped in for soak test and whatnot and not a full out release in the next few weeks i am happy with Lenovo and this phone. I love what Lenovo did with the phone. I said updates will make or break it and i was scared about that when they said they could not commit to the security patches. But were getting those patches and have a word on the update so far so good. Hope they keep it up. This is the best phone out all around.
I'll still believe it when I see it. Moto has really been sucking badly on updates the last few years.

I agree 100% the funny part is I decided I needed a non samsung device as soon as I saw that lil wayne commercial that had him dumping champagne on the phone. I told coworkers that wanted the Note 7 prior to the release to get this phone instead because Samsung spent far too much for lil wayne for proper research and development, they all made fun of me...until the note started exploding.

Off topic but the issue is simple with the Note 7. I checked this my self. But its not cheap for them and the "Fixed" ones were not fixed and there was no way for them to fix it.
Simple version. The IC samsung chosen to handle the monitoring of the voltage for the battery was the cheapest they could find. That being said they can be way off in terms of calibration. The note 7 i had charged my battery to 4.9v. Phone would read 4.405v but a fluke on the batt reads 4.921v. And that is dangerous. So for all i know they could be charging to 5+ volts and no wounder they are bursting into flames. Issue has nothing to do with the battery and changing it wont do a thing. Its an issue with the ic on the board. And the IC has been used in other things that handle li-ion and li-po related charging and also caused problems on them.
Back on topic.
So we get 7.0 before the end of the year. Im guessing November. So far so good on the updates. But im wondering if they are going 7.0 or just going to jump to 7.1. Chances are no 7.1 that fast but so far the updates have been good. And the moto mod updates have been amazing. I would like to see 7.0 by Nov. 17th. But we prob wont see the roll out start until the end of Nov.

It will not. Motorola has removed the Apps 2 SD feature. It was replaced by Adoptable Storage.

Yup, works exactly like it does on the Pixel. It runs the Daydream app, supports the VR keyboard, etc.

Not that I'm aware of. I've done plenty of soak tests for previous Moto devices and I got invites for soak tests for the camera and projector (which I don't have either), but I never got one for the phone. The update just popped up for me last night.
So far the only Nougat issues I'm having is the fact that my Ambient Moto Display no longer works. Slightly annoying, but it could be worse.

Great that means it's a general release!
Do a hard reset, it's always recommended to do a hard reset after a major update for optimal performance and user experience.
Strike my last statement. I just got it working. I need up just clearing the data for the Moto app and set it up again. Moto Display seems to work perfectly fine now.

Not really, the complaint level of AW2 is so high, of laggy performance, we may be having a favor done for us as tuning is being done before we get. There was an update for earlier released watches this last day which is getting positive feedback. So that is making me think we'll get it very soon now, I think tomorrow.

Lol swing and a miss. The wear 2.0 developer preview got taken down though, so either its coming soonish or we're just getting f***** on this one. All the indications are there.why would we buy the watch sport if we can flash the 2.0 developer preview?

I downloaded and saved the most recent AW1.5 and AW2 DP. I tried AW2 DP and it was awful, so went back to AW1.5 which I saved in case when AW2 officially released it is still awful.
We're being done a favor getting AW2 late but now I see happy noises on the June release, I'm seeing less reason to wait. But if there is a reason its no bad thing. The only thing I can't do is Android Pay.
If anyone does have the time to try AW2 then by all means flash DP and realize its a totally different everything interface, as I've been on AW now >2 years I find it awkward interface, noobs would take less retraining.
Someone likely has the googleapis link, I just have the file locally backedup.
Android Wear 2.0 fow the W200* is finaly here (well via OTA in Korea... For us via adb sideload )
Here it is the file: http://android.googleapis.com/packa.../af88cfbc96ad65e7b728e27c2decbdc6fb0e08e8.zip
P.S. It works perfectly! Android pay too!!!
Anyone tried the Korean firmware ? I didn't think 2.0 was that bad at all. Few things to fix but added a lot.

I updated earlier today. Made my first successful Android Pay purchase this afternoon. I never tried the preview so I'm still learning all the tricks/quirks of 2.0.
Sweet . Very cool , are you a US model though ? And did you use an OTA update or use PC with unlocked bootloader to flash it ?

Yes I have the AT&T model, W200A. I used the minimal adb and fastboot tool to sideload the zip file from my PC. I didn't have to unlock the bootloader.
i updated my w200a today with the korea version. however it felt more like another preview than a final release. Lag is present like on the preview, overheats somewhat easily and the battery drains way faster when you are using it than when you are on 1.5. At least this is my case on the w200a. I did a fsctory reset to see if that solved but no. Same result.
I have the at&t urbane 2 LTE (unlocked)
Until today I was running developer preview (nemo-nvf41u-factory-e269c504)
I had an update come through which has given me:
build number NXH20E
(ANDROID WEAR 2.0.0.159006699)
with security patch 1st May 2017.
The top and bottom buttons are working (re programmed through the options)
Android pay works.
I am in the UK.

I'm in the US and I updated using ADB and the file captured from the ota in Korea and these numbers match exactly to mine.
Found any bugs/issues yet? I've had an occasional lag or two. Android Pay is working and I've successfully tracked runs with GPS using ghostracer paired to the phone through cell data (my main usage requirement).
Not found any bugs on mine.
I have a few side loaded apps that may have been causing the odd glitch now and again whilst on the developer preview, but nothing since the update.
(Side loaded es file explorer so I could use MP3 ringtone on the watch & Google drive to download / upload)
I'm in the US with ATT version. Just got OTA last night. So far so good.

Wear OS 3.0, A Possibility?

Hey guys. Just a general question here. And, some sort of a poll here too.
Would LG roll out Android Oreo for the next update or Wear OS 3.0? Do you guys think that LG would continue to roll out updates for this watch?

Watch was abandoned way last year
Unfortunately, R.I.P this great watch....
Actually, I would guess yes - WearOS is now a layer over the firmware and it is updated as an app.
Google has said that "all devices currently on WearOS 2.0 will get 3.0
Yess definetly! They said only the LG G Watch won't get the update

Android Wear 2.0(one we have in lg urbane) != WearOS 2.0, so i think we won't have any updates.
I received the Wear OS 2.1 update today. Long live the Urbane!

The update is great. Wear OS Team worked hard.

I had checked a few times, but it just showed up yesterday morning. Didn't do anything special.

It is not a "system update" but just a Playstore update for the watch UI, no change in OS
Automatic if your Playstore watch apps update is set to "auto" or manual if not.

I think that the only thing to do is to wait. Did you like the update?

Yes, the left/right/up/down swiping is more intuitive and the notifications are more detailed. The watch seems snappier for most things, except the Play Store. This update fixes many of the mistakes Google made with the 2.0 update (like swiping left or right to change the watch face).
Just a heads up that my brother's LG Watch Urbane got the new UI update today. My Huawei Watch still hasn't, but that's besides the point. The update is going to happen,
I got it this morning
Also instaled 2.16 when watch few days ago offered. But don´t know, in my watch battery keep less than with older version. Will do reset today and will test tomorrow. I think that less lasting battery is because of much more notifications from phone, but will see tomorrow. I have W150.
It's great to see that our watch is still updated !
I find as well that batery life is less as before.
Before update, i could finish the day with 50%, and now, i finish at 30%.
Just got the update today!
Wow it is a lot quicker and more smooth. They added cool stuff like battery saving mode, more settings when swiping down, easier to read the notifications and so on...
I actually liked it a lot and happy to see it still gets the UI updates. I cant tell anything about the battery life since the update happened a few hours ago. Great work LG!
