There is nothing to fix, as it's not a bug. Some people like it like that, some don't

Got an OTA update notice this morning.

Anyone know what it is? I had the update to 5.1.1 a few weeks ago. I can't seem to find any info on this update.
I was in New Hampshire when I got the update notice to install. IDK if they roll it out by region or something else.

It is just a small security patch focused update. No new features, no performance improvements

well i dont expect android wear 2 anytime sooner. because its still in preview version available for limited models. So there will not be any ota update.
Got to admit.. I didn't get a little excited as this thing has sucked lately

The update bricked my watch. I noticed it wasn't connecting with my phone so I reset device. Now it won't boot beyond the LG logo. Accessing the recovery mode of the bootloader did nothing. Still progressed to the logo and then died.
I received update too, installed it successfully, I feel watch smoother but I don't know if it is due to cleaned cache etc.

does your watch power-off when the weather is getting warm? mine was like that. I took it to the LG repair center and they replaced the body.

Didn't work for me. I am trying now with unpatched boot image
For those asking about updates with rooted / unlocked devices;
I'm pretty sure that you can download the update ota. But if 'system' on your phone has been modified, it won't install. Let us know. Do you have systemless root? From what I read the update should install then.

Edit: Nope. Guess I'll do a factory reset later as magisk manager stopped worked a few days ago as well. Something is fishy

I bought this device yesterday as a sidegrade from my Mi A1. Could you tell me what are the issues you are facing.
I'm also unlocked the bootloader and used patched boot image to enable camera2api via setprop method. Taking the ota now, will update if update or fails.

Current issues:

Slow memory reading and writing speeds

Couldn't really do much testing, but from the little I've used the phone since the update it does look like adaptive brightness is working (at least as good as any other stock Android phone I've used recently).

Do you have any idea how long the certification process at Google takes? Don't expect updates and fixes if you report a bug a week before release

Idk if im paying 250 euro for a phone I demand a good working phone able to do basic needs . Taking ages to write a file and dying after 2.5 hours SoT imo is not acceptable. this is just poor quality control. The average user is not able to mess around with kernel auditor , proximity calibration and what not

Sorry to disagree, but this bug of max frequencies, affecting some and not others, is one of the most importance bug to solve or saing something about, because users are confused without knowing if their new phone has a hardware issue or not, to be return.
They had their chance to solve this in this patch if really was a software issue, now im not sure of that.
By the end of today, Xiaomi will lose a lot of A2 users.

So, September 2019 Update N960FXXS2ARH6 is out..

Anyone got this update yet? Anyone notice any improvements?
EDIT: 2018 not 2019 LOL
Not yet, but it's only a security update.
I got it a few days ago, didnt really notice any improvement anywhere, but there isnt really anything to improve anyway in the first place (for me atleast)

Small caveat. Saw this in the other thread and tested it... pro mode is still laggy. Auto is smooth now at least
ARH6 is for Verizon. Saw a post about it just now.
After getting this OTA my battery life is horrid and seems to lose 1 percent every hour just sleeping. I also don't seem to have any new wakelocks. I tried clearing cache from recovery, clearing cache for google services, checking settings ect. Anyone else experiencing this?

First one is called "Steady Cam" and the ohter one is "Story Shot."

sprint have a bad reputaion on updates time
My LG G8 ThinQ LM-G820TM just received the October update.
That's two updates within a three month span!
My fears of being stuck with a phone with great hardware but outdated software are subsiding.
I'm not updating since I believe the October update blocks an potential exploit that could be used for rooting.

I have the Sprint version and I received an OTA update yesterday. But i didn't see any new camera features.
Is anyone else having issues with notification sounds while connected to a bluetooth or wired headset after the October 1st security update? I know this used to be an issue, but it just started happening again for me.
