10/4/18 Getting New Software Update US99721c for Unlocked US997 LG G6

[Aura1]

Oct 4, 2018 4:40pm est - I'm getting the latest software update download (nothing mentioned online what-so-ever) for LG G6 US997 Black Unlocked -

I was just messing with the settings and went to the software update section - expecting NO update like all the other times I checked, but I almost fell off my chair when it showed the Software Update: US99721c at 752.06MB

It took a while to download even though I have excellent WiFi home network speed - most other downloads for anything are extremely fast, but this update was way too slow, like: 9 minutes. (maybe it's coming from China on a slow server, or something)

I haven't installed it yet because I needed to charge the phone and after that I want to restart the phone to start fresh (I don't want any excuse on having any problems on install)


I'LL BE BACK, after the install . . .


#1 ) I notice that my App Drawer icon before used to be round while all the other icons are rounded squares, but now the App Drawer icon is also a rounded square

#2 ) The phone is noticeably snapier (too quick to handle **Be Careful**)

#3 ) The Android security patch level update went up in the date to Sept 1, 2018

Still 8.0 Oreo right? I use substratum unrooted and I don't want to break anything

Ya, still Oreo 8.0 - with the Sept 1st 2018 Security Update -

We: (LG G6 owners will get the new Pie 9.0 OS update - realistically in Sept of 2019).

No update yet for my Amazon Prime edition. It took a little longer to get Oreo than the other unlocked versions

I was going to buy an Amazon LG G6 until I found out that Amazon installs it's own bloatware Apps with Ads, - is this true for your phone?
