Final 4.3 Sense 3.14.8888.1 en-route?

I saw this leaked pic on GSM Arena from IFA. Rumor has it that it was one of the demo phones.. I dont think they would put a pre-production build on a demo device. I hope it fixes the little issues such as the SIM read issue and improves battery life. It wasnt terrible but it isnt quite what 4.2.2 was.
Being said it looks like Sense 5.5 WONT be released (initially) with 4.3, but it is great to see fast updates from OEM's while running skins.

Updated with tweets from LlabTooFeR:
@LlabTooFeR About 4.3 update for HTC One. It will have 2 waves,first wave 3.1x.xxx.x builds will be released in US with Sense 5.0 on board
@LlabTooFeR Second wave is for international HTC One with 4.3 and Sense 5.5 (not confirmed yet). So anyway first update 4.3 + 5.0 and second 4.3 + 5.5..
@LlabTooFeR Anyway all current devices (HTC One, One mini, Butterfly S) will get 5.5 at some point after release of HTC T6.
@LlabTooFeR I don't have any details about Sense 5.5.. HTC is really strict about Sense, see what happened with those designer guys...
Pocketnow has it in a video on a red one as well
video.

It's been stated that the update will be by the end of September so this does make sense, I can't remember the leak build number to see if it's newer or older. What I want is multiple lock screen widgets.

Is the next sense version going to be 5.5 or 6. I read about htc Designers Leaving HTC For New Company Interrogated For Expense Fraud and Stealing Sense 6.0 Trade Secrets. Either way i think that the new sense update will come with the One Max on release then to our One.

You have to take into consideration the carriers who will slow things down and over bloat it.

Mackenzie says he hopes to have ALL ones updated by end of September so it might have gotten sent to the carriers already or real soon so they can overbloat it and send it out by the end of the month, t-mobile might take the longest as they didn't have faith in the phone when it was launched that's why only the silver one is available through t-mobile, it's selling well but they favor Samsung

Sprint has black too, I spoke to someone from an htc kiosk who also worked at tmobile and he told me straight up tmobile didn't think the phone would be a top seller so there were stores that didn't order a large quantity but were wiped out once it was released, and this is true because that was the case in my area when I was in a tmobile store I over heard workers telling customers that it was sold out in 15 mins of release and that they had ordered a small quantity, fast forward a month later when I exchanged the iphone 5 for the one and that was still the case for some stores I called asking if it was in stock and the worker's at a couple different stores told me it was sold out and they order small quantities, they have special sections for the iphone and a big Samsung section but they lump the one next to phones like the cheap Nokia lumia model or the ghetto mytouch lol so there's my point

It doesn't matter when HTC drops the update, even if they did it today if your on AT&T or Verizon you will be lucky to see it by the end of the year. AT&T is horrific about updates, took them almost a year to put jellybean on the Note. If AT&T gets the one max before the end of the year you won't see official 4.3 for a very long time if ever.

I understand what your saying but AT&T could care less about the end users, the 5s and note3 are dropping any time now and if the max hits soon after that's all she wrote as far as official builds, will we see official 4.3 yes but not till end of year or first of next year. It's not HTC it's the carriers.

Android 5.0 and L as OS options for G3 on LG SmartWorld: a hint on an early update?

I have posted this in reddit and wanted to share it here too. While I was browsing the LG SmartWorld site, I clicked the phone selection link on the right to choose the G3. After choosing the G3 and hitting OK, a dialog appears asking the operation system of the phone and there are options for Android 5.0 and Android L. I also checked this with other phones and these only appear in G3 models. Maybe a hint towards an early Lollipop update?

Now that's interesting. Hopefully it IS a sign we'll be getting it soon.

Interesting link i found
Came across this in a google search in regards to android l looks like early files for the new OS maybe just for the boot process so far.
h ttps://github.com/Sykopompos/Android-L-LG-D851

Why when i go to smartworld web it says my device not supported?? I have d855 32gb

D855 shows Android 4.4 and ANL, I think that one big update is coming

Android L is already being tested in Korea and Poland.

If You haven't made it up and Your friend seriously work as a tester - delete your post. Sharing anything related on any portal is violation of NDA and it can end very bad

dont think we will see L before 2015 definitely not before december 14

Do not expect many things.we are talking about LG the worst company in the updates. I wish to be wrong but something tell me that we will only see android L with the next release of lg g4. Lg usually brings the updates 3 months after Samsung and htc . Htc which promised fast update to m8 it states a few days ago that it will give the android L 90 days after received the stable version from Google. That means that the fast plan from htc is about 4 months from now. Guess now LG which slowest than a turtle.we are talking about 7 to 8 months. Which will be very near to the release of next g4. So it will wait a few months more to release the new g4 with the new lolipop experience. I wish to be wrong but lg has a very bad history.

LG G4 will be released with 4.4.....LG in a nutshell

Lol that has to be a joke from them. They can't even get the carriers to release anything. So yeah 6 month isn't so unrealistic. Even for canadien android releases
Sent from my LG-D852 using XDA Free mobile app

I have no faith in LG but if they update this phone to 5.0 it will sell more of these for them. So we might get lucky cause they are greedy.

I believe that it will take longer than 6 months to get out to carriers (At&t still is on 10d.) But it could be possible for the international versions.

I have been saying for months we will all be surprised (not just LG, but all major OEM's) about how quick Android L will roll out to the flagship devices, it will be the fastest roll out so far!

If all of these guys have not been working with the preview build code and getting all their ducks in a row, i would be SHOCKED. This is a new way for google to announce the OS and i think they did it to give OEMS time to get stuff ready for fast updates. Once final code drops, i wouldnt be surprised to see OEMS releasing for certifications from carriers within a month. At least HTC and samsung! lol But here is the thing i keep hoping for. Samsung used to be HORRIBLE with updates, then they figured it out and now are one of the fastest (HTC still has the crown). LG Could do the same. Especially with all the time they should have already had with the base code (not any MAJOR changes really even in this latest preview). Fingers crossed. As long as i have this phone long enough to actually see the update. My tmobile jump and a nexus 6 or note 4 are almost tempting me, but i love this phone!

Marshmallow will start rolling out around the end of May/beginning of June.
But it's your choice. If you are considering the 5.5" variant,then it's the best out of the three.
Same if you are considering the 4.7" variant. It is still better than the G Stylo and Escape.

Idols are pretty solid phones for the price, it's gonna be kinda hard to beat them. Don't let the android version stop you, marshmallow or not they are great.
I personally have had really bad experiences with cheap lg phones, you'd be lucky if you get what you pay for.
If you do go for an lg other then a g3/4 I'd really suggest looking up multiple reviews first.

I have the LG Stylo from T-Mobile, and the idol international version on cricket, but using AT&T Apn with great success. In my opinion, the Stylo is a much more solid device, with removable battery, incredible memory management, and already has marshmallow. The idol can't be beat for music though, and hopefully marshmallow will fix high all the time memory usage. Just don't get the cricket version of either of these, as the hardware and software are lesser. I happily use both, and have Google voice for handling the number integration. Have the idol on cricket's inexpensive plan, and it comes in handy when I travel to have AT&T service [emoji51]

I have had this phone through Cricket since Nov. 2015, and i loved it until the patch came through. I have now had to have it replaced twice because it will turn off on its own, when i try and use Google play music it locks the phone screen immediately. I think all of the bugs are A) due to Crickets bloat wear or B) due to the bugginess of 5.0.2. Has anyone else experience any flaws and glitches? I LOVED this phone up until this point and now i want to throw it at a wall, or move back to the ZTE Max Plus (2) since it just dropped.

Is there a US release date yet?

I'm currently looking at an upgrade for my LG G3 (which died so now I'm using my old S4) and was looking at the OP3 when I stumbled upon this phone, which I'd never heard of. Overall, it sounds great but I can't seem to find an actual release date anywhere (which is concerning, as someone who waited far too long for the droid bionic back in the day and after months upon months of waiting, settled for a different phone). Does anyone even have an approximate release date for this in the US? If it's not sometime in the near future, I might just snag the OP3 and go about my day, but I'm hoping someone has heard something about it.
Thanks!

No there isn't and do we need a new thread for this question every week?

Honestly, that's my fault. I try not to revive old threads (since that usually has people's heads exploding) and had read the other thread with the same topic and thought it was from last month (rather than a few days ago).
Sorry about that!

If there's a release date, it will be probably be a sticky thread with plenty of comments.

So, I'm not sure if this is valid but I was comparing a few phones on phone arena and noticed that there is a date included there. Apparently, it says July 30th . . . Below is the link I used:
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/ZTE-Axon-7,OnePlus-3,HTC-10/phones/10068,10017,9582
Here's the full info page:
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/ZTE-Axon-7_id10068
No idea where they got this date (or if there's any truth to it) but figured I'd share it all the same.

Well Canadian website mobilesyrup reported that the phone will come out later in the year for Canada. If Canadian and US releases are linked would that mean Q3 or Q4 release? I hope not...

These companies need to get their crap together. I was going to go for an HTC 10 but due to AT&T not carrying it and the only other option being directly through them, I was opting for this, as it's cheaper outright.
Now they're flopping around with a release date for this. I need a new phone ASAP due to mine having issues. They're going to force me into an OP3.

Same here, I pre-ordered the HTC 10 and for some reason HTC cancelled my order. Now I want the Axon 7 but ZTE doesn't want my money. OP3 is getting closer and closer by the days...

Yeah, I'm in the same boat as both of you. Being on a 3 year old phone that was already dying when I originally switched from it, I kinda need a phone fast (especially since the camera on it has a cracked lense so I can't take pictures with it). Between that and the likelihood of the ZTE bootloader being locked (I know some people in here think that's not going to be the case and I hope not but if what I've read is correct in other post, ZTE keeps their phones pretty locked down. Probably even more likely with that Passport 2.0 system they'll be supporting), I'm starting to think this is not going to be worth the wait. If it comes out in July, I'd still ideally like to wait a while to read some quality reviews and see what happens in the development community before I jump onboard. When I consider that over buying the OP3, which is all ready to go, unlocked, and with an active developer community, it's kinda hard to justify waiting it out (especially if I have to potentially wait until the end of the year since no date has been confirmed . . . which SHOULD be the easiest thing a company can do. Provide a release date!).
Good luck, everyone! I hope you guys get the phones you want!

The only big issue I have with the OP3 is I keep hearing about LTE issues with AT&T, who is my provider.

Hmm. That is a concern as I have AT&T as well . . . I was concerned about the Wi-Fi, based on what I've read . . . but the Nexus 6P seems like such a step back at this point and I don't want to wait for the Nexus "Marlin" to see if it will be a decent device (and for a decent price).
Man, such a great opportunity for ZTE to step in! Too bad they can't seem to pull it together!

Much in the same boat as well
Sitting on my old Nexus 4 and would like to pick up the Axon 7. But OP3 is calling my name if I don't hear anything about a release date for the Axon 7. Both of them have the needed band 12 for T-mobile and that is what I am looking for.

WIith OP phones, you are pretty much doing beta testing for them for first 3-6 months. Both OP1 and OP2 had tons of bugs and nagging issues at launch. I owned them so I know.

Band 12 means nothing unless you get T-mobile blessing to use it. I don't see OP doing the extra work for it. OP2 doesn't have it and I doubt OP3 does either. USA isn't their market.

It didn't need an announcement probably, but Sony has confirmed its plans to release (no date given though) Android 7.0 update for Xperia Z5, among other devices.

I hope for a new UI from Xperia X family and some new feautres from 7.0 like notification direct reply and multi-window view.

All i want is new status bar and multiscreen.

Oh God, I don't think I'm ready to get on the hype-train just yet. Just like it's too early to get excited about Christmas

wouldn't expect to see it till at least April next year going by previous updates by Sony

No z3? Thats interesting.. Then why did they release the previews on it?.. It's f***ing stupid. Just like last year with the z,z1 series -.-

Honestly? I'd like to receive early updates following the Google patch cycle. Constantly.

I saw somewhere (forget where it was) that considering how fast (or slow) Sony update their devices, roll-out will probably start by February 2017. It also says Samsung will do by January-February of the same year.
Sad. I want it now. Lol

Actually you are probably closer

All I want is a fast camera with no shutter lag or whatsoever.

This is one of the main reasons I'm planning on ditching Sony when I get my next phone, this and increasingly poor build quality.

expect 7.0 upodate for Sony around late november. Since this yearly android update is released earlier and OEMs had acces to the code much sooner thus we'll get the update sooner. You guys are way too pessimistic about this

we're pessimistic because we know what Sony are like with updates and doubt there going to change now

Guess what guys, they get ready for it...
Xperia Home just rolled an update. Read the log.

Considering the number of devices to get this update is really small, I assume we should get is very soon and definitely BEFORE the christmas.
Otherwise it will be another shame for Sony...

Hang on a sec...we're not pessimistic - we're not delusional either. It's almost September now. What's the latest Z5 security patch level? Oh yeah, 1st April. So "wee little" security patches are 5 months behind but you guys reckon the entire Operating System, Android Nougat will drop within the next 4 months?!?
Dream on guys. Wish you were right but...

I preferible stability over speed. I didnt have a single crash or reboot with z5 sibce i bought las year

Admittedly, Sony update is not keeping up with Security patches from Google, unless they include it in a bigger bugfix/major upgrade release. So I wouldn't take that as a reference.
We were all disappointed for the late MM release by Sony, but I don't think N will bring so many dramatic changes from M, as M brought from L.
Also, I don't think they have a flagship series replacement on their agenda until February, a it happened during MM preparation.
Let's just stay optimistic.

After the time it took for Marshmallow I hope Sony can get it out by Christmas, there is no excuse anymore to not release an update when Google release previews themselves. This isn't ICS which was more or less a complete overhaul of Android.
This is a minor update in comparison to ICS, Marshmallow was minor but took half a year for Sony to roll out. Hope Sony can get 7.0 out by November, I expect perhaps one more update after that before support is ended, but by then I will probably get a new phone.

LLabtoofer said HTC M8 and other Snapdragon 800/801 devices won't get 7.0 as Qualcomm will no longer support their drivers. I think it is likely Sony will bring features from the previews to the Z3, but it won't be the true 7.0, just the developer build - the same goes for other devices like the Nexus 5 and OnePlus One.
