          Received over the weekend an update to my G8X-DSC.... 8 months after last update.
          Still on Android 10, security patch: April1, 2021. Build#: QKQ1.200216.002. ver: G850QM20e.

          Am I gonna have to wait another 8 months to get Android 11 which LG promised will come for this model?

I flashed several stock roms from oreo, pie, q and right now I'm on pie with the V405TA20n firmware. Because gcam works well on it and has a nice balance of performance and battery. But if you have any variant other than t-mobile, you can try lineageos. It's way better than LG's stock roms which horribly limit the power of the hardware, from the chipset to the DAC.

              Hi All
              i tried to charge the mobile when it's in the dual screen case from 9% to 100% , it took nearly 10 Hrs + to finish it using the magnetic charging connector that came with dual screen box !

              Totally useless , wired charging via the usb c is better as it takes 2 Hrs and around 20 min to completely charge from 0 to 100 % - FYI

                    RishiGuru, 23 Apr 2021Thanks for the info.I have read your comments about the V40 regarding its "horrible battery" and mentioning anandtech and gsmarena's tests.
                    Recently I bought a used V40 for $130 and using it as a wifi only phone, it reaches 9-10 SOT with light usages like web browsing. With heavy usages like gaming, it reaches 4-5 SOT.
                    And believe it or not, that standby time you see here is NOT real. I flashed several firmwares from various android versions available for the V40 and in every one of them, at first, there have been a really weird standby battery drain that quickly gets fixed after a while. Maybe less than a week. I think it's the system setting things up and making caches to optimize the phone. Now there's almost zero standby battery drain. So maybe those reviewers tested its battery when it was not optimized yet.
                    It's a wonderful phone for only $130. Display, audio, cameras, everything.

                        After the April update for LG g8x thinq the sound feels dreadfully reduced

The Dual Screen turned off after the update, that's the only clue it gave that it got updated. Like said in the YouTube video, need to check the main screen after call end unlock bug has been fixed or not, which I didn't do.

                            arunv1984, 19 Apr 2021Yes.

I was wondering if the update at all took place. Is there any way to understand, if the update was successful or not?

                                    Below is the FOTA change log:

                                    1) Phone usability and functionality has been further improved
                                    2) Version: V20f-MAR-20-2021
                                    3) Size: 350.76 MB

                                    After the FOTA update:

                                    Software Version: V20f-IND-XX
                                    Android Version: 10
                                    Android security patch level: 01-Mar-2021

                                    The LG FOTA servers seems to be super slow and data transfer speed was maybe capped at 200 kbps max. In contrast my Vivo, Honor, Nokia & iQOO phones download FOTA updates at 2 Mbps or even higher. LG India is providing us with bi-annual Android security patch upgrades for their flagship phones as my LG G8X had Sep, 2020 patch before.

                                    Was there any Dual Screen firmware update?

                                        Received an update today in Indian weighing around 350 MB and the Android security patch level is now 1 March 2021. Apart from that the update said it has made some improvements for the phone.
