Anyone heard about an update for our phone. LG finally made a true flagship device, I hope they are ready as a company to act like a flagship manufacturer.

I guess you're talking about an update to Kit-Kat. If so, there are rumors of one in the works but still nothing official.

I'm sure we'll pretty much have to depend on the development community for updates.
January-March is my guess on official US carrier update. LG is a bit slow, but the carriers are what truly cause this.

You think manufactures would still be fighting a couple months before launch?
This phone has probably been out in google development for the past 6 months.
That being said the specs have probably constantly been improving

Don't see how HTC, LG, etc can compete against Samsung hardware wise.
Hmm.. i like.. now waiting what would be the final spec of Prime. Firmware wise, I'm not too concern as it's google phone. But more concern on it's hardware. Will it trash S2 or upcoming ip5 based on hardware?

I think hardware wise,it will not be very different from SGSII.But we may see a better display
I think samsung has edge over htc and LG in terms of hardware manufacturing and also samsung has great and efficient distribution and retail chain that can deliver phone even in remotest area of earth

An alaskan cell phone company GCI is getting it first:
http://phandroid.com/2011/09/09/sam...00/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
Sorry, Sprint, but you were a bit too slow. Alaska’s regional GCI has beaten the nationwide carrier to market as the first U.S. carrier to offer a subsidized Samsung Galaxy S II. Those citizens residing in the colder of the two non-contiguous United States have the pleasure of heading out and picking up what looks to be an unadulterated version of the Galaxy S II for a mere $99.99 on contract. The GSII operates on GCI’s “4G” HSPA+ network and features a dual-core CPU, Super AMOLED Plus display, and more. We suppose with an asterisk Sprint can still be the first carrier to release the Galaxy S II in the continental US, right?

With 4.3 out now was the wait to long compared to nexus devices? I for one am completely satisfied that it didn't take to long.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
There was literally a week's turn around. How can anyone be unhappy with that? Fingers crossed that they keep it up. Any indication on if the update came from HTC or Google?
People are unhappy with the turn around on sense based roms. We haven't gotten one of those yet.
Porting aosp with some modifications to a device is relatively easy, especially if it's the manufacturer of the device.

I was very shocked when it dropped on Friday. My wife's Nexus 7 didn't get it until last night.
I was so happy and surprised I decided to convert mine over to GPE rather than wait for sense version updates.
This was the fastest update I have ever received!!
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
yea can't be mad with a 1 week turn around time on AOSP. I wonder what other changes they will do in the sense 4.3 update other than the 4.3 changes.
This is easily the most positive press HTC has EVER received regarding an update. Google/Samsung/HTC did a great job. Let's hope they keep it up.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I was very surprised that they got 4.3 out so quickly.
Hats off to Google, Samsung and HTC for releasing 4.3 so quickly for these phones.
Very relieved to see the fast update on the gpe.

Does it strike anyone else as surprising that HTC are so keen to update the google edition of their phones, but knowingly take forever to update sense. Or would this be some sort of software agreement with google?

I'm not making excuses for them... But it is way easier to update the vanilla android experience than it is to do the same for sense. They have to build and test sense on top of these updates. They still haven't updated all the unbranded unlocked devices or developer editions running sense.
Add carrier testing on top of that...

Hi guys, just a new LG user here. How is LG when it comes to SW update? Are the updates through OTA only or any PC or laptop application like Sony's PC Companion or Sony Update Service? And does LG carry the newest UI and apps they have on their latest phone like G3's flat UI carrying over to let's say G2 on a SW update like how Sony and Samsung are doing? Sorry really have no ideas when it comes to LG. Please bear with my noob questions.

Well the update to kit Kat actually came pretty quickly so that gets thumbs up from me.
Problem is LG release an update then that is shipped to your carrier who then has to test it and then release to it a customers and that is what takes the time.
This means that when LG release the update to when you actually get it can take many months and sometimes you never get it.
None if this applies to carrier free or rooted phones.

That would be great if they would follow HTC on the release updateof Android L. Actually guys I'm a G2 mini user. I just posted here on G2 section as there are only few members that are in the G2 mini section. Guess the mini isn't that popular at all.

as I posted HTC or anyone could release an update days after official Google release it could and probably will take months to filter down to consumers.
it's one thing that temped me to the nexus but needed up with the g2.

I bought this until I saw how quickly the Moto X got updated. Hell the Samsung phones got KK well before the G2.
Hopefully the pressure from the other OEMs drives LG to get their software updates sooner.

LG did get the update out in reasonable time scale.
New devices do get updates faster to keep them competitive and as I said more goes into an update other than any manufacturer releasing it.

Didn't Samsung say February for marshmallow on our Note 4? Or was it March? Either way no update what so ever this month?
It was scheduled for this month.

This mo? Don't think so. The note 5, international mind you, has only just started seeing it as of yesterday so I wouldn't expect ours until towards the end of the second quarter at least. Besides you'll see an rdf pop up 1st once they actually start working on it then many more rdf versions until a final release. I'm dropping this phone the day the new g5 drops anyway. It's just uneceptible the g4 has marshmallow since Christmas along with practicality every other manufacturer except Samsung. The g5 looks to be a killer device too. Hope they really sink Samsungs ship with it honestly. Especially after the update fiasco for the note 4 last year. Typical Samsung fashion though. Rant over.

The G5 is a two-lens modular multi-featured camera pretending to be a smart phone.
If I want a modular high-quality digital camera, I'll buy one with a couple lenses I can switch between.
I want a smart phone, and I'm happy if it has nice camera features.
Each to his/her own, though.

Perhaps the release from Samsung was scheduled for this month - but Samsung releases to the carriers, at least in Sprint's case, and then the carrier does their thing with it until they deem it ready to release to their customers. Samsung doesn't set Sprint's schedule

International version would probably get it 1st before anyone then if that goes ok then they would release it to the carriers. At least that's how it usually goes. I've been keeping a close eye on sammobile for that to happen so hopefully soon.

Not necessarily - just because Sprint releases later than the international carriers doesn't mean that they receive it later. It's generally bad practice to openly treat some of your customers as guinea pigs for the benefit of the others, so it's more likely that Samsung sends out its generic rom to all carriers at the same time and Sprint just takes longer to add their proprietary bloat. It's also likely that Sprint waits to announce the upcoming version for the same reason xda devs don't do ETAs - because too many people take "estimate" to mean "promise" and get upset when delays happen.

It doesn't matter - either way brings us back to my original point, that Samsung's release dates are meaningless to us. We could get our update the next day, a year later, or never, with equal probability. The only useful deduction we can make from their release date is that we definitely *won't* see our update before that date, which really isn't very useful at all

Maybe after 8 months or more when they iron out all the issues, I'll consider it. By then, I'll probably have a new phone.
