[Android 4.4 Kit-Kat: check which devices will receive the update]
See if your machine will receive the new version of Android
The major release of Android 4.4 Kit - Kat is scheduled for this month. Surely , all Android users are waiting for that day with great anticipation ! The new version of the OS, based on Linux Kernel that supports new devices with little memory , is at hand. And then , is curious to know if your phone will get the update the new version of Android ?
To start , let's talk about those devices that are in the update right . Those who have Nexus devices can expect the upgrade to Android 4.4 . Those who own the Nexus 4 , 7 , 7 (2013 ) , 10 (2012 ) will be the lucky ones !
Others who have great chance to get the update are the main apparatus of large factories . These have 99 % chance to receive the new Android . Are these : Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and S4 . LG : LG G2 , G PAD , Optimus G, Optimus G Pro Now Sony : Sony Xperia Z , Xperia Z1 , Z Ultra . Also the HTC ONE , ONE Mini HTC and Moto X.
Still others who are likely to receive the update are: Galaxy Nexus , Galaxy Mini S4 , S4 Active , Sony Xperia ZQ , Galaxy S3 , S3 Mini , Note 2 , Motorola RAZR Motorola RAZR D1 and D3 .
However , what I found most interesting is that Google is interested in older devices . According to a statement from Google itself "the interest is that all of them have the incredible experience of using the Kit - Kat Android 4.4 on their devices ." Thus , this new update will encourage not only those with newer devices , but users with older devices . Usually when a new OS is released , it is designed to run with the new hardware in order to boost the sale of more modern equipment . Glad to know that Google cares about all of their customers , not only those who are always with the latest releases. Remembering that still will depend of manufacturers and their customizations for each device .

[LG France Seemingly Confirms October Android 4.4 KitKat Update for Optimus G
Posted on Oct 2 2013 - 5:33am by Adrian Diaconescu
The Android 4.4 KitKat announcement sure caught a few… million people off guard early last month, which is why there’s little Google can do to shock the world anymore. Or is there? Well, how about if I told you there’s a good shot LG’s Optimus G will be one of the first ever smartphones to be officially bumped to Android 4.4? Would that be shocking enough
LG France Seemingly Confirms October Android 4.4 KitKat Update for Optimus G
Posted on Oct 2 2013 - 5:33am by Adrian Diaconescu
The Android 4.4 KitKat announcement sure caught a few… million people off guard early last month, which is why there’s little Google can do to shock the world anymore. Or is there? Well, how about if I told you there’s a good shot LG’s Optimus G will be one of the first ever smartphones to be officially bumped to Android 4.4? Would that be shocking enough?
Android-KitKat-4.4
Maybe not shocking, but definitely unexpected. For a handful of reasons. One, the G is nearing its first birthday, being by all intents and purposes an “aging” handheld. Two, the 4.7-incher is still stuck on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, so one would assume a 4.2 or 4.3 upgrade would be in the cards before a 4.4 makeover.
And three, does anyone even know the Optimus G exists? Not that it has aged very badly, but it’s, you know, almost archaic compared with current high-enders. It sports a 4.7-inch 720p display, 8 MP rear-facing camera in one of two configurations, plus a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU that’s no longer the proudest stallion in Qualcomm’s stable.
Not to mention it’s been followed by not one, but two top-notch LG devices, the Optimus G Pro and G2, the second of which is highly praised by a number of reviewers and simple tech-savvy individuals alike.
But let’s back up for a second. What makes us think the Optimus G will get an Android 4.4 bump in the first place? An alleged private Facebook conversation between an everyday LG user, I presume, and the guy (or gal) in charge of the company’s official French account
The exchange is pretty straightforward, with LG Electronics France very confidently claiming the Android 4.4 update is planned for “this October”, so there you go, case closed, congrats you lucky Optimus G owners.
Sorry to be a party pooper, but not so fast, because I’m not buying it. For one thing, this is a private FB conversation (emphasis on “private”), meaning it could have very easily been doctored since there’s no real, palpable proof it ever happened.
And even if it happened (jeez, I’m starting to sound like a character on the show “Newsroom”), social media people have been known to mess up dates, names and timeframes. What if they were actually talking about a 4.2 or 4.3 upgrade and misinterpreted the question?
Then again (now I’m just grasping at straws), it’s not sooo far-fetched to think LG will get a front-row seat at the 4.4 rollout party. After all, they are making the Nexus 5, they’ve also helped build the N4, so maybe they’ve asked Big G for a bit of preferential treatment for a change. Could that be the case, what do you guys think

I think it's possible for manufacturer to skip 4.2 update and just jump to 4.4 to save development cost.

Eat it Bro. only 4.2.2 at last may come. Not anything after if I know LG. Otherwise they will seriously do wonders. And Wonders do not happen in LG.
These are there flagship devices. They will definitely upgrade these to kitkat. No other small update will excite me like directly upgrading to kitkat. LG is gaining momentum right now with nexus 4, G, G Pro, G2. To make the owners of these phones happier subsequently gain market praise and to rise against the market leader Samsung, they have reasons good enough to do this NOW. HAPPIER customers, media praise, positive publicity all round, gain in market share, are the very good reasons why LG must do it now.

Hallo zusammen,
wir möchten euch hiermit mitteilen, dass es ein Upgrade auf Android 5.0 Lollipop für das LG G3 im vierten Quartal 2014 veröffentlicht werden soll. Das Upgrade-Paket für das LG G2 wird folgen.

It basically says that the G3 will get the update in the 4th quarter of 2014 and that the G2 will get it "later'.
To me this means the G3 will get lollipop in Nov/Dec time frame and the G2 probably more like Jan/Feb time frame.

Awesome!!! So this does confirm that the G2 is expected to get 5.0 Lollipop then, I hope Sprint brings it to the G2.

Yes we are getting 5,0 just like the op title says. Our phone is only about 11 months old, google updates it's devices for at least 22 months. Expect many more updates possibly even android 6.0

We will definitely get it but a 2-3 months after international versions get it.

Hope LG sticks to their time table, they have gotten much better since the days of the G2X/O2X.
Well damn, this is quick, LG became the first phone manufacturer to announce the beginning of a 5.0 Lollipop rollout. The LG G3 just started getting a 5.0 Lollipop rollout in Poland, is this a good sign that the LG G2 could be next in line to get 5.0 Lollipop after the G3 gets fully upgraded to 5.0 Lollipop?

LG FIRST TO ROLL OUT ANDROID 5.0 LOLLIPOP UPGRADE
Flagship G3 to be the First LG Smartphone to Receive
Newest and Smartest Features of Lollipop OS
SEOUL, Nov. 9, 2014 ― LG Electronics (LG) this week will begin rolling out the highly anticipated Android 5.0 Lollipop upgrade for G3 smartphones starting in Poland this week, to be followed by other key markets in the near future. LG, the first global smartphone manufacturer to offer the Lollipop upgrade in 2014, will subsequently announce an upgrade schedule for other LG mobile devices.
This latest Android OS delivers a host of improvements including a new design language with added depth, shadows and animations. Notifications are improved with a new layout and color scheme and will be available on the new lock screen. A new security feature to strengthen the connectivity between devices will include enabling users to unlock their smartphone when it is physically near a pre-registered Bluetooth device such as the LG G Watch or G Watch R. Lollipop also introduces Android Runtime (ART) software to improve performance.
“LG is absolutely committed to giving our customers the best mobile experiences available and bringing Android Lollipop to G3 owners as soon as possible is a top priority,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “The new features and improvements in Android 5.0 will bring a whole new user experience to the G3 and make it even better than it already is.”
Additional details related to LG devices will be announced in the near future as the Lollipop upgrade becomes available in local markets.

1) There's absolutely no way to know for sure when the G2 will get it's taste of Lollipop - I'm guesstimating January at some point, hopefully sooner but there's just no way to know for certain till it happens. Speculation gets us nowhere at this point.
2) The G3 ROM that is now available from various sources won't do much for us G2 owners at the moment because it can't just be ported over directly to the G2 like the G3 KitKat ROM could (as I understand it). The lack of a proper source for the G2 kernel for Lollipop is what'll hold us back and until that appears then we won't be seeing any useful G3-based ported of Lollipop for our G2 devices.
3) Everybody knows about this now, it's been all over the forum for nearly a week now (the impending LG release), there's threads all over the place about it, every Android site - even Engadget - has had their front-page devotion to the LG move to beat everybody else to the punch so I'd say as long as the G3 rollout happens without any major problems or showstoppers (like what happened with the N4/N5 rollout and then rollback because of the battery bug), perhaps we might get a Christmas present from LG for our G2 devices.
Worth hoping for...
Android 5.1 was released yesterday.
Any word from LG about the update schedule?

it won't be for this soon i think, v20k will be released shortly which is still 5.0 based on assumptions.
But I also know lg's firmwares letters rarely go further as u,v or w haha.

Brother this is gonna how its probably gonna roll out
1) Lollipop AOSP based roms will be updated within the month
2) Nexus 5, 6, Tablets
3) Google Play Edition Devices (HTC One M7, M8, Galaxy S4)?
4) Samsung (Galaxy S5, Note 4, Note 3, Galaxy S4)?
5) LG (G3, G2)/HTC One M8
7) Sony
8) Other brands
I hope that LG will continue releasing updates for fluidity and speed of the system even without launching v5.1. :/
Maybe with G4
Could it be that LG is launching G3 5.1 update along with the presentation of the G4?
Why would they?

In the presumed leaked photos of the presumed G4, it uses 5.0.2, so LG will take time before using 5.1
Glad they will soon push 5.0.2 though!! Finally a RAM fix!!!

Hi guys
I have question how is the update policy of LG? I am a note 4 user but Samsungs update policy made me think to change my phone and it will probably be a G4,before that I want to know how LG treates it's phones for example the G3 their previous flagship
Coming from the G2, I am very impressed. We got several updates and even got Lollipop before the G3 got updated. They are really good on past phones. Everything is sort of in a stalemate rigjt now because of the Android M. No sense in updating anything when Android M is the finalised version of lollipop.
Could be better tbh, they update Korean version very fast which include major fixes 2 months ago, and only 2 weeks ago people started receiving those.
Aside from google, all other take their time, LG won't release any new android besides Android M on G4.
Thank you for your answers
I came to view the GNex forum because I just bought five of the things on eBay and wanted to know my options, was expecting Lollipop but holy cow did I get a friendly greeting of Marshmallow!! It is cool that this phone has been alive for this long.
Samsung's 2016 flagship can't get past MMB29M for the time being but this phone can!!
Great job everyone, can't wait until N is officially released and I see N on the Galaxy Nexus before the S7!

Unlegacy-Android has a 7.1.0 ROM out now (and specifically for all - yes; I said ALL - versions of our beloved GNex) - I've been running it since the week after Thanksgiving (replacing CM13 - which had replaced JB). The oldest Android phone in the house (this was originally mom's GNex - and she bought it pre-owned from Amazon; she now has a Samsung J3 purchased from the local VZW store; said J3 is ALSO still on Marshmallow). Therefore, the oldest smartphone trails only the Google Pixel/XL of all of VZW's current OR former carrier-specific phones; so much for logic.
We expect these LG devices will be treated to Nougat soon:
LG G4
LG G5
LG Magna
LG Spirit
LG V10

The article does say about it.

Sent from my LG-H440n from Serbia
While this does sound great, it does sound a bit too great imo. The article doesn't say if it was announced, or even rumoured from the inside - it's just their own speculation. Nevertheless, hope it pans out.
There's no way we're getting Nougat. Also 1GB is a bit too low for Nougat. I hope I'm wrong though. I noticed that they "expect" OP2 and X to get Nougat, but it's widely known by now that they're doomed in terms of official software updates.
I don't think we're getting nougat update at all. They've released many devices after spirit with mm on them ,so they'll prioritize them first and lg never gave more than a single os update to their mid range devices.
LG Stylo 2, that phone got Nougat update, but hw is a bit same with spirit, also there are config files in kernel. They could made it as I was managed to boot Nougat on Spirit! :d
