LG: How to Fix Bugs with Updates

The updates of our mobile are too important to leave them aside. Manufacturers constantly improve our mobile and although the updates are not infinite, many of them solve known problems or add interesting news during the useful life of our model. However, problems may appear when updating our terminal, as happens in LG mobiles.

LG: How to Fix Bugs with Updates

Having the will to upgrade and not being able to do so is quite frustrating. Luckily the causes for not being able to do so are well identified and we can solve the problem through a series of routine checks. Some of them vary depending on how the problem manifests itself to update.

Update download is slow

It is one of the most common problems, the download starts but is excessively slow . In that case we must take into account the following points to solve the problem.

  • Switch between data connection and Wi-Fi to see if the slowness problem is fixed.
  • Go to the router and, if necessary, run a speed test of our connection.
  • Check the weight of the update, since sometimes and depending on the type of patch, it can weigh more than 1 GB and require more time than standard security patches.

The mobile is not updated

In the previous step, slowly but surely, we are sure that the update is taking place , but in the one at hand, the update does not get started in any way.

  • If we are using a custom Rom, we must lock the bootloader and revert to the standard version that came with the device, otherwise we will not be able to update, according to LG standards.
  • If we are using LG Bridge tools to update the device, it is recommended to reinstall the application and try again.

Other tips

If none of the above works, we will always have other attempts on our hands to try to fix the problems with the updates.

Free up space

It is a very common cause, since if we have limited storage space, the update cannot be downloaded. We can do it from Settings / General / Storage / Internal storage and touch on “Free up Space”

Close all applications

Background apps may be consuming network resources and may interfere with the correct update procedure. We must try to close them all from the recent applications menu.

Restart the mobile

It is the best way to release the accumulated cache and unblock possible files from the corrupted system that are forcing the mobile to update correctly. Once the mobile has been restarted, we must test again if the problem has disappeared.

Return to factory settings

It is the last method but possibly the one that offers the best solution when all else fails. In this way the mobile will start as the first day and when connecting to the network it will notify us of pending updates. By not having third-party elements that can interfere, it will most likely update without any problem.
