Is not very clear.. we know how this is.
But is a very good new.:good:

If I'm not mistaken it's not LG that replied to your comment but some random dude. So it doesn't mean anything. But on the other hand even LG had lied about updates in the past.
So don't get your up too much.

if it's true what he said he didn't mentioned our model, and i don't believe in that story until i see update on my e975 for 4.4

In consideration of all the other kitkat update claims, its either a very ballsy, stupid or genius first XDA post...time will tell.

as he says we're working I don't think that he's a random guy. and you know, LG admins don not have the right to announce anything until they arre told to do. So they act more conservative. look at the screenshot attached. Some information are company confidential. But the employees are more free to do it. I mean even if he's not true about next month he must be true about the coming of the update.

Well, Optimus g is optimus g. my model is e975 too. and this one must be the first to get it. becaause AT&T models should be customized and also requested by AT&T... International ones are the ones supported directly by LG.

I hope it won't be the first one

One again, a "no-news" and a lack of reliable source...
Don't get me wrong, I'd like the KK update as anyone else but what is provided here is just enough to built hope on some, nothing more.
No reliable source, nothing official, and, IMHO, someone using terms like "dude" on a responce is far from beleivable. I don't know what is "confirmed" by this screen, but it's nothing but hot air!

We're going to receive it man. believe me. By the way, I can't see any dude in his response

His reply:
"Dude's new all LG smartphones are too gud..."
IMHO, sound juvenile!
And I do HOPE we receive an update, but will all due respect, don't expect anyone to believe you unless you provide solid proof.

Cannot see the word Dude mentioned in this thread before your posts and in any case, I'm not bothered what words are used to describe hopeful software updates for our devices
Also, belief in something is personal and I'm happy to at least hope for future updates based on this thread
As I'm sure other people are too

I want to believe that our LGOG will get KitKat next month, but considering that not even G2 has it, I don't think that it's possible.. Maybe 1, 2 months after G2 - if LG decides to respect their customers..

The G2 already has 4.4 In Korea tho.

World wide, I meant.

Let's study the situation a bit deeper.
reasons we get the update:
1. if we consider the 18 months period of recieving updates, we still have 4 months left. G was released in October, 2012
2. I think except for the initial batch, most of the devices had Jelly bean 4.1.2 while being sold and they still have the same version. So there should be at least an update to a higher version.
3. Physically the device has all the potentials to be upgraded to kitkat and as a previous flagship deserves to get it.
4. the leaked news says that they were testing kitkat on both g pro and g. Now that they are releasing the update for g pro by the end of Q2. There should be an update for g as well since we know that the device doesn't lack anything to run kitkat smoothly.
resons no to get it
1. Why should a company care for a phone from 2012 while there are so many other new phones 2013 onward?
Well I think we have more reasons to get it than not to get it.
to get or not to get. this is the question

and look
Samsung officially announced the models which will get kitkat. Among them you can see Note 2 which was released in September, 2012 and Galaxy S3 which was released in July, 2012!!
So let's keep our fingers crossed :angel:

humm... i think we`re going to be in 4.1 forever :s

And where is the announcement in that?
Standard canned response telling nothing at all. They'll forward the request! Dosen't mean LGOG is getting anything as of now.

Heeeeeeey
I didn't forget anything. I have written the question everywhere and I've got the same response as the one you attached. I myself attached one last page.
They are not allowed to announce anything. Actually they don't know anything. They are simply page admins. Whenever they say something it's not true or exact. No one knows exactly when everything will be ready but I believe it will be ready one day not so far from today.

GS4 getting L update?

I want to know if and when we'll be getting the next update ?

Next Tuesday.

From article
"Samsung hasn't confirmed any Android 5.0 Lollipop updates for its devices; however, at least one device from the manufacturer is certain to receive the new software. The Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Play edition should be among the first devices to receive Android 5.0."
So, we should be among the first to get the update. It will likely be out in the Google Play Edition ROM's first, and official update probably a lot later. I wouldn't expect it to come too soon, but it will arrive.

Nah, Android version codename lap dance.

He actually asked official Ahaha
People hear of something new, and just want it because it new. No idea what it actually is nor anything about it. (Just fyi its not even released yet.) Kinda like multi window on the s3. Everyone cried for. 1000s and 1000s. Finally got it, and honestly how many people actually use it? I bet I can count the percentage on my hands.

You are totally right on the above - .
I have read that 5.0 (hate Google's names) is supposed to be a major update (with Art, etc) and the reviews covered other new features - but will have to see if, bottom line, it will really reflect a major step forward.
Totally off topic here - getting tired hearing all the hoopla about Apple Wallet - been using Google Wallet for two years - what's the big deal ?

I'm looking forward to the sweet sweet ROMs for this device with Lollipop!

The only good thing about Apple Pay will be that more retailers will update their CC machines so that we can use NFC and Google Wallet.

It can be "possible" that the Android L can prevent root. But that is mainly for phones with a locked bootloader, which we dont have........
But, first it was Knox, now Google is trying to make it to where you cant even root your phone. Go to the Portal and read this.

LolliPop for the Note 4 due soon...

Looks like Samsung may release LolliPop to our beloved Note 4 sooner rather than later.... but how long will the carriers take before turning it around for us?

I will be shocked if we see it before April 2015 on AT&T. Samsung will have to massage it, then AT&T has to bloat it.
I hope I'm wrong.

I'll probably have sold the Note4 before it gets lollipop.
In 6 months of owning the S5, it was never upgraded to 4.4.4

4.4.4 has only been out for 4 months, you think you'd have it already on a carrier specific phone, and samsung at that? and with 4.4.4 being a minor update?
By the time 4.4.4 released, Sammy was already well into working on 5.0 Why do the work for a minor update when you could just go straight for the big release?

And? That means nothing. What is it you think you're missing out on with the 4.4.4 update? In answering that 99.99% of people are going to have to look up what the update even entitled.... Can't complain about not getting something that changes absolutely nothing in your phones functionality / aesthetics / UI

I was shocked when Verizon released it, they are usually really slow. ..
And to answer Techsavvy2's question, in Verizon at least, the GS5 4.4.4 update fixed many Bluetooth issues that were present in 4.4.2. But I agree with Tech's point in that new for new's sake is a little pointless.

I hope we see it before the New Year, although I know the odds of that happening are almost nil. I also hope Samsung adopts the new aesthetic as much as possible, though their current version of Touchwiz is much better than previous versions.

Hope so. Not going to hold my breath waiting though.

Yeah it's pretty bad. You have to wait to let the ad load before the page will let you scroll downwards. I experienced the same thing. Give it 10-15sec to load and hit the X in the top right, then you should be good

Thanks and I hear you, the news sites seem to be the biggest offenders.
At least it is good news
Hopefully as stated earlier in the thread it holds true for AT&T. Maybe they will realize with such a big OS release that people will want it sooner than later.

I have a feeling AT&T is going to delay it for at least a month while it figures out what features they want to disable to add in their own bloated, pay to use version of it !

Why is it called lollipop.....suckers.....
So maybe now a nexus 6 is looking good?

Good.luxk getting one.

Gettin fed up at this stage! One of the reasons i bought the phone was because HTC seemingly are quick with the updates

LOL !

Most Android OEMs are similar in one way or another. Interesting thing is that average consumers usually don't care about these updates as we do. I have Moto X 2013 and when Motorola said that they will not upgrade this phones passed Android 5.1, I decided not to buy Moto products again and I didn't. Another phone I had was Xperia Z3 Compact and with Android 5/5.1 there should of been VoLTE support, but it never came to my unlocked unit and I too said that will not purchase another Sony phone and kept my word. It doesn't really matter if we turn our back on HTC and get another brand, we will face the same problem again. I do have HTC 10 myself, but it is sim free US version and only couple of weeks ago found out that EU version is lagging behind in software updates.

I was pissed off so converted my Taiwanese HTC 10 to US unlocked and voila!

The whiners and complainers won't be satisfied until they get their update, then the whining and complaining will start all over again because "this" sucks and "that" sucks and they will all want to go back to MM.
I've seen it with every new version of Android.

I saw that post, and that guy's reply. To say he doesn't care if you're a mod or whatever.... I consider that border line insulting (I don't want to get an infraction for writing down what he deservs). Anyway, old story, it's gonna happen with every update Google rolls out, and we can't help that. There should be a complaint thread for those people to write what ever they want, so they don't spam "our" threads [emoji4]

so do something about it. I was tired of waiting for bell to release it so... unlocked my phone to US and did the update. My battery life doubled pretty much and it's because of the WiFi drain on 6.0.1 stock rom that's not present on nougat

So don't blame me but XDA for making that rule !
Bye and good luck

Instead of doing the typical british thing of complaining, I just converted my phone to US and installed the RUU and converted back to WWE afterwards. And then the Nougat custom ROMS came along, so I went back to LeeDroid Although I did tweet at HTC to ask if they knew when, they just told me "Software updates are created by Google and are distributed by carriers to phone users" ... at which point I said "I dont think carriers do WWE/International/Unlocked. And Google don't make the updates for HTC specifically" ... I never did get a reply.
