With the agonizing teeth-pulling feeling we all had waiting for JB on our phones, does anyone expect or think that we will get another update from LG for this phone?
Whether an incremental bugfix or a JB update to 4.2.2, just curious who thinks they'll officially release another update for us LGOG users. Discuss...

I cant imagine seeing 4.2 until at least the GS4 drops. At this point, only the N4 has 4.2, right?
I thought the note 2 was rocking 4.2?

No smartphone has 4.2 at this point but Nexus devices. I do believe there is a tablet or two that have them(Asus I think is one of them).
S4 will ship with it in the US in May. Htc One will update to it around June. At that point we might have Key Lime Pie in the new Motorola being rumored. I would assume LG will update this device to 4.2 in June or July....maybe later. This phone will still be LG's flagship phone then. Only recently has it had a global launch.
The only way a device can stay relevant when phones with superior hardware are available is better software(Apple's philosophy on phones & computers). It is also cheaper than making a new flagship phone every quarter. So even if LG doesn't update, it would probably be wise for them to.

When asking about 4.2 on twitter, LG Nordic replied "More info about updates for Optimus G coming soon". So with some luck ^^

maybe we'll see a pro pack upgrade like the Optimus G Pro got... and they bring 4.2.2 with it. unless KLP drops very soon... I dont think this phone will ever see a KLP update(officially).
AOSP will surely carry us along for the good updates.

When LG release a firmware, they release a firmware, not just an android update.
Try installing CM10.1 after flashing LG 4.1.2 firmware and you ll see a big difference on battery consumption.
I get 6h of web browsing instead of 4h with the same CM10.1 on the same phone... only thing that changed is the firmware that have been flashed before.
Personnaly I dont think LG will release a 4.2, but I would take it as a firmware update anytime if it gives me another 1.5x battery
I let myself be surprised by LG.
Speculate that, yes or no, brings nothing
In any case, I am very satisfied with the G

New to lg, but on samsung, CM is way better than TW and that's a fact.Unfortunatelly lg doesn't have all the support samsung has.It will take some time, but,in the end, CM will be better than lg fw.
LG patches pure vanilla with Gesture UI and adds specific apps(like q-slide)..how do you call that?
All manufacturers do it(samsung with TW, HTC with sense and motorola with motoblur).

CM and the others are good options for those who don't like LG UI. But I have never been a fan of CM on any of my phones cause it's never perfect!

maybe now,lg roms are better,because cm is still young for our phones.but,with a proper dev team,cm will wipe off lg roms.

I think LG will release android 5 instead of 4.2, because our G have strong hardware. Now we just pray for it!
lol, KLP will be released later this year.until then, we will have 4.2
My source told me 4.2.2 will be available at the end of may,begining of june.But it's possible to have it earlier.

It's rumored that soon to be released Sprint's LG-LS980 will be basted on Snap800 as G2. And G2 will appear in stores not later than three months from now, probably even in July-August
yup, have at it, this forum's already been fubared. might as well continue the complaining and posting about future phones.
When it's released / when it's available then we can discuss it....Thanks

I was hoping that you have the 4.2.2 leak for our Optimus G...or the new 4.3 instead of this version for the OG2

4.3 looks great. I hope LG changes the Notif area to be more like AOSP. And OpenGL3.0 support means better graphics support and more games with better graphics. Apps should have better UI. Also the new UI of the phone will work on OpenGL 3.0 support.
Bluetooth 4.0 low energy will be incorporated in the core Android code. I know LG Optimus G already has 4.0 but the driver is from LG. Now more apps can use bluetooth 4.0 because of this.
So 4.3 although not a big name change is a great step forward.
Do you think LG will throw the 4.2 in a garbage if they were working on it before google release the new source code??? I just think we'll have the 4.2 update instead of 4.3
Now, all we can do is to pray.

I feel the wait for 4.3 is just a excuse for better Android but if we wait another 6 months for this... it just sucks.

Could not agree more, lg can't just forget about us!
It's taking ridiculously long for the update to come out.
If only the Sony Xperia Z was cheaper... it's priced ridiculously high on contract in my country compared to the G or N4... and the specs are similar. But Sony has a great track of updates and AOSP support lately.

but the xperia ui (timescape or whatever it's name is) is not that fancy.
LG just sucks with updates. as said 9 months have passed. the odds are pretty low to be honest. N4 and G is so similar. no big work needed. even if we get 4.2.2 i'll be happy with LG. opengl es 3.0 would be nice tho.
so that's why lg doesn't have customers. everyone knows that they are extremely bad at support. :laugh:
I really don't see how they can convince us to buy their smartphones in the future until they really stat to give updates i mean.. if this great phone won't be updated in the next months .. i will just sell it to somebody with a low price and buy a samsung/htc instead of lg.

Exactly. I dont know why is it good for LG. They better realize this.
We all know now about the up and coming Nexus 5, which LG is again the manufacturer. It will be launch (according to rumor) with the latest Android version 4.4 or was it 5(?) called KitKat.
The G2 is very much here. 4.2 out-of-the-box with all it's niceties.
Now we, GPro user/owner probably wondering what LG's instore for our neglected capable device. We're still on 4.1 and should be on 4.2 by now. And one could even ask if we could still see the light with 4.3, much more with KitKat.
Will a petition be of any help from GPro user to send LG a clear voice demanding support from them? Will they listen thinking that we're just small in number?
The GPro was my first LG (smart)phone and really have no idea how they are with support. Was LG notoriously sucks with updates?
Will a PETITION work?

Don't get your hopes too high, mate. They're making some really good phones, but unfortunately, they've chosen to stick to their "no update" policy. They've abandoned the Optimus G, just like they've abandoned other flagships before. The same's the case with the G Pro. As it's going to be with the G2, too. I've been really tempted by the G Pro (LG, in my opinion, have the best displays of the lot), but seeing their poor record of updates, it makes me think twice.

You didn't do too much research if you have to ask that. Combine LG's propensity to not release updates with AT&T's 6 month vetting process after its released and you can pretty much expect that nothing north of 4.2.2 will ever hit the G Pro. I'd assume once the G2 is out for 60 days there will be a 4.2.2 International G Pro update then maybe 90 days to 6 months later an AT&T update. By then no one will care and the device will have already been EOL'ed.
If you want a newer Android version on a non Nexus phone you're going to have to flash them with a ROM. Its a sad state of affairs for the Android eco-system but at least there's an upgrade path of some sort, even if its manual.
from what I know, LG has always been very very slow with update.
Better sit and wait for it. I don't think we will be forgotten.
Read this:
LG : Just like Samsung, LG hasn't issued any official release regarding updates but since Nexus 4 is getting one, it is safe to assume that others will follow suit. Remember Optimus G is very similar to Nexus 4 on the insides. The following LG devices may get updated soon.
Optimus G
Optimus G Pro

Optimus G2

One of my favorite books ever is Harry Browne's How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World. In it, he talks about "direct actions" and "indirect actions." Direct actions involve doing something to get what you want. Indirect actions involve trying to change someone else's mind so they'll give you what you want. Direct actions are usually quicker, easier and more reliable.
This proposed petition is a perfect example of the difference. We can either spend a lot of time and effort putting together a petition hoping to change LG's mind in a month or two, or we can just root and flash on our own and have the newest OS (4.3) today.
5 cents, please.

Because there's nothing to leak in the first place?
I know LG said they'd skip Android 4.3 for the G2 and go directly for 4.4 which means even their flagship phone will have to wait for a while. So I'm wondering if our tablet will get any updates from LG at all. Would be nice for the devs to have at least some new source codes to work with. I haven't been able to find any info on this, what do you think?
LG are notoriously crap at providing updates. Don't hold your breath. But until then, my G Pad works fine on 4.2
