ooops. what the...? the date on the screenshot is 2015. so this is the "proof of your delta test"
-edit-
yep, looked it on google. so that delta testing thing was announced on facebook in last year april/may.

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.

Do you think that the GPE will get the update to android l a lot faster then the stock ones? Considering the stock roms are nearly pure android, do you think there will be a noticeable difference?
How many days do you think the GPE will save compared to the stock one?
How many days was it in the past? Or how many days is it *usually* for motorola devices or even other devices for that matter?

I really don't know man. Pure logic says that GPE will get it faster because you will not depend on the carrier to release it, just Google. So once they push the button all the GPE devices will get it....
In another note, I feel that the GPE runs much MUCH fluid than the non-GPE.

Yes I know, but I was refering to the carrier...so for example if you have Verizon, you have to wait until Verizon releases the update, not just Google and then Motorola. In the GPE, since it is unlocked you dont have to wait for any carrier to release it, so you are avoiding one step, hence I think is faster....

Great news, I had a really bad experience with my previous phone (Desire X) and updates. It got 4.1.2 3 months after release, but never saw another update after that from HTC. I think smartphones should be able to get updates from the OEM's for at least 2 years.
Most ironic fact was that I paid $300 for the Desire X, and $199 for the Moto G. Go figure...
Nope it hasn't...

Yup, paid 200€ for the moto G (in Romania, Motorola has no power here), and almost 300€ for the galaxy s3 mini... Galaxy s3 mini got the 4.1.2 update!!! From 4.1.1... And moto G is on a freaking list by Google, considered equal for updates as the nexus 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 and the HTC one M8...
Not to mention my sister got the Moto E, the 150€ phone (here) with better support than the galaxy s5, which probably won't get lollipop this year, or even this winter... 600€ device, doesn't get software updates because Samsung is probably still stuck with their old TV update policy, which doesn't exist.
Whoop Whoop. such good news. Just got my Moto G GPE!
And soon Lollipop for GPE
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

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.

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!

It means, htc will begin the roll out this coming end of 2015...

Sent from my HTC One M9 using Tapatalk
Hopefully someone can port one of the newer roms to the m9 in the time being.
Nice to see the update coming in time (90d time frame after vanilla Android release). But one thing makes me muse: Why were the previous updates released on most carrier versions simultanously? And will this happen with this update again?
I've been with HTC for a long time and except for the M7, I only owned unlocked devices. I noticed that the unlocked versions recieved their updates in time while it took the carriers weeks if not months to release their adopted updates. It annoyed me as hell while the M7 was my daily driver, so I returned to unlocked versions with my current M9.
Now I see that the updates are released on most carrier versions simultanously. This would mean that either the carriers have vanilla ROMs (unlikely) or HTC is holding back the unlocked versions in favor of the carrier versions not being delayed. The latter would really be annoying.
Any thoughts on this?

I believe unlocked ota push directly from HTC where carrier versions have to get approved by att,Verizon etc prior to release which is a huge pain in the ass and slows the whole release down

Lucky enough for me my provider does no lock what so ever in devices.
So all my HTCs (6 so far) although I take them in great price (after a little blackmail that I will opt for another provider) from my provider are totally unlocked.
android M with no material design in sight
im getting tired of sense the way it is currently
Those in the US shouldn't get their hopes too high. With carrier approvals being what they are we won't see this before February 2016. Some ROMs will have it sooner but often times things like WiFi calling and VoLTE won't work until the carrier version comes out...

I read it to mean that the rollout of firmware for the different M9 variants will start at the end of 2015. i.e. "At the end of 2015, HTC will start to roll out Marshmallow upgrades for the M9 phones." The more the carriers get involved so they can install their branded crapware (Verizon, can you hear me now?), the longer it will take, so I'd expect the unlocked/developer ones to come first.
(FYI, Jan 1 2015 was the "beginning of the end" of 2015 )
Im just hoping the m9 6.0 update improves battery life and overheating. Getting close to returning mine within my 14 days. The biggest feature i look forward to is the merging of the micro sd card as internal storage.
If that one a9 had a larger battery id be all over it.
I don't think merging of micro sd card as internal will be supported officially, micro sd cards are not as fast as internal... I used my sd card for large apps though... =)

LG to roll out Android 7.0 Nougat update to LG V10 and LG G4 later this year
LG is said to roll out the Android 7.0 Nougat update for LG V10 and LG G4 in the second half of this year
South Korean tech giant LG will offer Android 7.0 Nougat update to two of its previously launched smartphones- the G4 and V10 in the second half of 2017.
As per an IANS report, LG is planning to offer the latest software upgrade for the V10 in the second half of this year and for the G4 in the third quarter of this year. The reports also says that the above mentioned timeline applies to the phones sold in South Korea, and consumers who are using the specific models outside of the South Korea will be notified in a separate schedule later.
However, this scheduled update applies the two LG smartphones sold in South Korea. LG G4 and LG V10 global customers would be notified of a separate roll out later.
LG had earlier announced to discontinue support on the two smartphone including OS updates, citing the two phones are not optimized for Android Nougat OS. (How shameless LG can be?)
While the report says that LG will offer the latest update to the dated LG G4, we have our doubts as the handset has already been updated twice in past. LG V10 is no different as the smartphone has also received two OS updates. So take this news as a grain of salt and wait for an official update from the manufacturer.
LG started rolling out Android 7.0 Nougat update for LG G5 in the month of November and the company has announced the latest flagship LG G6 in the MWC 2017 last week. The smartphone features a 5.7-inch full vision 18:9 ratio display, Snapdragon 821 SoC, a 3,300mAh battery and runs on the latest Android 7.0 Nougat. LG G6 is packed with a dual rear camera setup with 13MP sensors 125-degree wide-angle lens.

Anyone else been getting "software update has stopped working" whenever the wi-fi/data is enabled? Problem seems to have started in alignment with this LG announcement.
On the plus side, we'll have a later security update to carry us beyond 2018 and it's not as if android 6.0 to 7.0 was a huge upgrade compared to 4.0 to 5.0.
I will also stick to this phone for at least a year so i am kinda happy, but LG...
On plus side, it seems that they listen to their customers.

Weird right?
I am happy that i will get what i was ranting about...
lol thats a long wait for a device that is riddled with hardware problems, I dont think most of us will see that day.
Well, if this works well & isn't riddled with bugs, I might just upgrade to a new LG in a year or two.
They shouldnt pretend that they are doing people a favor. And then saying it was optimized for Marshmallow. You should at least get 2 speedy big software updates. I can't trust these companies that just discontinues devices that are flagships.

Give them chance at least, in development there's nothing like speedy updates, even here on xda it's one of main rules "no ETA"
God it would be amazing if we could get real LG Nougat. We all know this device (G4) can run Nougat, I myself has been running it for several months now. I just hope they ad UX5.0 rather than leave ux4.0 look.
Either way im on a sprint g4. Im sure it will be u rootable too. Just like mm. And some of lolipop. Im still on the second update ever released just so i can keep root.
Be nice to some some unlockable or crackable bootloaders in these suposed updates...
will you all keep dreaming and writing your thoughts here until the end of the year when we get the nougat source ?
and then what ? rename the thread to "curse LG" and start writing about the bugs until we fix them ourselfs ? ..........
I don't think this phone is gonna get nougat. They launched g6 in same time they announced that there is no nougat for g4. All over forums there was complaining about their statement for g4 so it would mean loosing customers for g6 because dropping support for not so old flagship. Lg is already lost bunch of customers with lg g5 so this would be too much for them. That is why the statement was changed so fast,to save this few loyal customers...and i think when time comes to update it will just be flashed down the toilet... I sure hope i am wrong because i wanna buy g4 again. It is great device overall,with all it's flaws.
why does all other companies make 2 updates than? HTC is almost dead and they updated 2015 flagship first if i am not mistaken.
If your logic would stand, they wouldnt even update their phones, just buy new phone every year.
Why does the article in OP state the G4 has been updated 2 times? Didn't the G4 start with Lollipop? Now we're on Marshmallow, that's one major update unless my math is off. However, since I bought mine last year I've done 5 updates but those were maintenance updates the last one was January security patch for example. The 5x runs fine on Nougat 7.1.2 from my experience and it was launched with and optimized for Marshmallow.
Corporate turds. Just do it already. I'm glad I'm not the only one outraged by their stating there isn't plans to update. Now they're doing it? Dunno.
I know that with he hard work of awesome people like Codeworkx & Genesixx we know how awesome Nougat os on thos device. I'm just scared of the in your face bloatware that could make the system just awful.
Ah, feels good to rant and keep it on topic! LOL
BTW correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the G3 AND the G2 both receive Marshmallow? Those old ass handsets!? Psssshhh, give us us Nougat!

Both mentioned phones received two major updates:
G2 from JB to KK to LP
G3 from KK to LP to MM
Following this logic the G4 should have the Nougat right about now without playing this "maybe we will update it by the end of year" bs....
Been reading through xda and other websites for a while now and i gotta say, I'm very disappointed with how long it takes LG to release oreo for the G6. No beta program, no info of when they are planning to release, not even a leaked oreo for LG flagship device. Last year LG was one of the first to release Nougat for the G5, this year pretty much every mobile phone manufacturer has already released oero for their phones (final or beta) and LG... Well... Hasn't!!! Maybe we should remind LG that they released the G6 phone, cause they're so quiet about oreo update for it, it feels like they've forgotten they put a flagship device called LG G6 out on the market. Soooooo disappointing :/
Mind that they released no update for European G6 for more than 4 months, maybe in April we will receive march patch, and Oreo when P will be announced... Lol
if the update is important for you just sell your G6 and buy any other phone from other brand
LG = very very slow SNAIL
i miss my nexus phones

Not saying it is sooooo important, but it would be nice to see that LG actually cares, considering they are one of the main companies on the market. Hell... Even an official info about release date would be ok.
And the screen you attached... That's like from end of october. And since then... Nothing.

Now that's more like it. Has it been released in Korea for beta-testing or anything like that?? Those screens.... Are they made by LG or someone from outside the company got the ROM for testing and shared the screens?

Nope. On android 8.0 we will stay very long time.
I'm not holding my breath for 8.1 on Verizon. This will be the last non Google phone I buy. I almost bought the Pixel instead of this phone. I bought the G6 on launch day.

Can someone download and upload it for h870 ?
In my humble opinion we shouldn't be holding our breath. Most customers of these phones are not techie freaks like us, and don't really care about the underlying OS version, especially because the LG skin provides a lot of additional features anyway. I think LG knows this, and what most interests their customers is that their phones just work quickly, reliably and smoothly, with the features they have. LG probably couldn't give a hoot about us nut cases who can't wait to get their hands on the latest OS version that somebody else has.

Funny thing... Not long after i created this topic, comes a post from liushangrong with screenshots of a 19a preview oreo build for LG G6. Korean website and screens from Korean G6 running oreo. I've never seen those screens before, has anyone of you guys? I can only think of 2 things here.
1. Coincidense
2. LG know they're late with oreo update and have their employee keeping an eye out for any signs of disappointment here on xda, and if such is seen, giving a proof of oreo update being worked on.
Sounds crazy? Maybe, but it's just something that came to my mind :/

They just don't know how to communicate.
Others are selling craps, but they are communicating, keeping hype alive.
