According to this source, LG has not released any good info on if or when we will see the update, unlike many other manufacturers have stated.
http://m.techradar.com/news/phone-a...l-5-0-release-date-when-can-i-get-it--1257804
Yeah I saw that as well this was my first LG may be my last if this is true
Who cares until its a week plus since the other manufacturers release L? The other guys may have a approximate date but that means nothing (the past proves this statement). For all we know lg will be the first non nexus device to get it pushed out.
Good news? http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/lg-g3-android-lollipop-update-may-land-by-end-of-2014-24-10-2014/
Even once it's released. How many will actually update before a root method is out there for it. lol
Do you think T-Mobile might lock the device down when it releases this update? If they don't, does that make it easier to root? I am just one of those impatient always want the new shiny thing guys
i see a nexus 6 in my future. i am going to wait for the officail lollipop release for the nexus 4 (my back up phone) then install that, sell the G3 and put the money toward my nexus 6..... i tried but i just cant get used to the skins, and i miss cynaogenmod with a working camera.

Man I'm in the same boat. Using n5 and debating selling the g3. Good hardware laggy software. I'd keep it and use aosp if I knew it wasn't still a month or two away from working camera and BT. AND I DON'T KNOW THAT lol just missed aosp.
I dont understand why people say the g3 is laggy. There's been post after post on how to get rid of any lag. Turn ART on. Reduce the scale of the animations. Blah blah blah. Read the forums. The phone might not be fast out of the box, but there's simple ways to make it faster. These devs will get the Roms done as long as everyone would search their forums instead of asking the same questions over and over again. Everyone is jumping ship because they don't have the ROM they want. Just be a little more patient. If you wanted a phone that's more on the cutting edge you should have bought or stayed with you nexus phone.
Really tho, with LGs last update, all that lag is literally gone.
Looks like we are supposed to get android lollipop by the end of the year! That's less than 2 months from the release! http://m.gsmarena.com/newscomm-10031.php
Confirmed.

Yay! That is great news! It would be awesome if we got it before most of the other phone manufacturers. Thanks for the update.
This is just another rumor. "An lg rep said we should get it before the end of the year. "
That does not sound definite but at least possible, maybe probable.

It was posted on an official LG Twitter account. Pretty sure it's not a rumor.

I should not have used the word "rumor" but I'm just a bit hesitant to believe anything when the word "probably" is used.

So would this be for the international version? It would then go to the carriers after that right? From past experiences, T-Mobile has been slower than other carriers about updates

I will believe it when i see it. This may be my last LG though if they dont get their update game in check. They are officially the WORST when it comes to updates IMO

I agree. I really love the g3 but am really wanting to install a fresh rom like cloudy but am not going to bother if we are getting this update. I can't wait for this version and for someone to do a nice clean no bloat lollipop rom!
It is the waiting that makes me miss the n4 I had for almost 2 years.
At that point I seriously think our lgs will be the very best.

Looks like we are one step closer to marshmallow. The T-Mobile website now shows the phone in T-Mobile testing phase.
Update: Download some marshmallows now.
Taking them way too long. Verizon already is pushing out Marshmallow for the Note. They are usually the last carrier. I'm disappointed with development from this phone.
you sure about that? to me it still shows that it is under manufacturer development
Maybe we'll see it in April
Telus may rollout Marshmallow at March 30th for s6 edge. what about t-mobile
I believe tmobile has always been the slowest in releasing updates. ..don't be surprised either April or May timeframe
I couldn't help it. I used JUMP to get the S7 Edge. In Reality it's exactly what I wanted the S6 Edge to be. I really have zero complaints about the S6 Edge. I'll miss seeing how it handles marshmallow. I think it'll fit it well.
Can't blame you. ..I'm thinking of upgrading myself. ..this update is taking to long

Actually if you click on the phone it shows that it's still in manufacturer development.

It is kind of hilarious we are now reading Android N developer preview stuff, seeing lowly Sprint rolling out updates to M and we are reading that it's still in a development phase as far as TMobile goes. I not one that thinks M is going to be that great we absolutely need to have it Android. I'm more disappointed I have been a long time Tmobile customer, and going from my first Android, my beloved Nexus One that was put at by Google at the time, to switching over to Samsung and basically being the good little follower/updater of every TOL device they put out prior to my current S6Edge which I obtained on the first day of availability last April 2015 and my wifes Note5 I recently updated her to from her Note 3. TMobile used to be known as the leader of the pack supporting their USA customer base.
Lastly, in the past up thru the latest 5.1.1 updates, it was really easy to flash an International version, use a Kerenel that played happy with TMobile hardware, and occasionally requiring an additional flash of a file to fix call audio issues and we all were golden. I'm guessing that once a TMobile supported Android M Bootloader is available, we can then happily start flashing away the many International Android M ROMs already being posted on those Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge sites.
I could be wrong on that, but I really thing once we have a bootloader posted we can all go back to complaining about this or that specific ROM issues, instead of pounding the web sites for Tmobile to get it's act in gear. Really....Sprint ahead of Tmobile....scratching my head
Sprint rolls out their updates first when business is mediocre.
Still waiting for M. This is why I dont buy Tmo S7.
Im start hate samsung, so many versions for the same cellphone or watch, I never want say this but with iphone dont happen thinks like that..
Well, finally it's showing on T-Mobile's page that it is in testing phase.

I know what you mean fabioplata, that's why I went to nexus 6p. Let me tell you that the grass is most definitely greener on this side.
And yes Alex9090 seems like I made a mistake when I started this thread, maybe my excitement got to me. But its in T-Mobile Testing phase now.
KingP1n I don't see Samsung changing their ways anytime soon. They are trying to use touchwiz in a way to make money from it. But the end result is always the same it takes too many resources away from the base OS and the whole experience feels like riding on the short bus.
This is my last Sammie phone anyway... I've been pretty disappointed in it and should have waited to buy it - always out to be the early adopter.. i need to knock that crap off..
Having to wait for hell to freeze over before getting the update just hammers it all home...
The worst part is that this will most likely be the last update this phone will get.
Imagine next year we will be where S5 owners are now last to get if ever get Android N

Hey.
I've been lurking in this section for about a week now, and from what I can see, people mostly have positive things to say about this phone.
I purchased, from eBay, a Hydrogen model and have constant stutters and lag in the UI/animations.
I have continued to experience this after flashing the "unofficial" Cyanogenmod 13 ROM.
Is it just me? Am I doing something wrong? Really love the massive screen on this thing and don't want to have to return it...
Thanks.

Can't speak for MIUI but the only CM13 versions I don't have that problem are the two earliest ones v2(6-14-16) and v3(7-5-16) from the guy who left us. All later ones have it on my hydrogen... So yeah you are not alone.
Maybe it's that slow Snapdragon 650. You should've bought a Helium.
I bought one of the first Mi Maxes that showed up on ebay right after china oficial release... Couldn't wait for helium...
PM me one of your cores and we'll have seven each... lol
I'm looking into buying this phone but I like a device with a lot of rom support. Is there something I'm not aware of or is the device too new to have much development? Thanks!
No TWRP. Some ROMs supports this, and most of the Kernels does.
Sent from my OnePlus7TPro using XDA Labs
I'm new to this device but from everything I gathered, the lack of ROMs doesn't really have anything to do with the 7T. It's more of a problem with Android 10. Google changed a lot of system stuff with Android 10 which makes it harder for the TWRP developers to get a custom recovery working. As far as I know, even the new Pixels don't have TWRP yet. Once devs get a working recovery going, I'm sure the ROMs will be flowing through here.
Some of the Magisk roms like xXx have worked on it. If you're looking for a full blown rom, they'll be few and far between.
I don't think we'll see much happening in TWRP until more 10 phones come out. These were among the first, and most people already had plunked down on the 7 Pro.

I was really excited about this devices since i heard so much about the oneplus brand, coming from Nokias (900,920,1020), HTC (one m8), Huawei (p10),Samsungs (Note 8), Huawei (mate 10 pro) i heard so much about it and how fast the devices are etc. Ill give you my honest opinion about it, as far as development goes its starting to pick up like some other members have said there are a couple of roms out there, rooting is possible and super easy to do and there are a couple of custom kernel like blu spark and elemental X that work perfectly and gives you a great battery. Before rooting this devices i decided to give it a go without messing with it i have read and watched several reviewers that the battery wasnt that great that it would give you only five hour of SOT etc, my last device was a Mate 10 pro and that devices even tho i cant root anymore since there are no bootloader unlocking for huawei anymore was a great phone super fast an never stutter battery was perfect between 7 or 6 and a half hours. Knowing that the oneplus was "only" five i didnt really care, once I got my device and it settle it really impressed me, i was getting around 8 to 7 hours of sot with a smaller battery, that was awesome speed was great everything was going perfect till i found out that the screens on the OP7T are very faulty, more so then other screens of other phones i have owned. The OP7T greatest defect is the damn mura of greenish tint on grey backgrounds when nightmode is active on around 20-30% brightness in a dark environment. I am one of those with the issue, for me its fine i know ill get use to it but it is something that reviewers wont say or talk about, now keep in mind we are not talking about a small percentage of devices this is a big batch and it doesnt matter if you have the chine model EU model IN Model etc the are all affected, oneplus representatives know about the issues and the only thing you can do its get a replacement hoping for the best cause it might be that the replacement phone will be worse. i advice you to look into the issues read the forums and decide after that. i hoped i knew before i bought since my warranty wont cover where i live now all i can do is just make the best get use to it and just make sure next time its the first thing ill check, beside that the devices is great overall but keep that in mind. sorry for the long post.
Hello everyone,
I have a LG-350N (K8) and I use a mobile app to do my job. Every month I need to update this app, but this month I cannot update it because it is not compatible with my mobile anymore. So I need to buy a new mobile phone or upgrade the SO. The thing is that I checked some of the cheapest mobiles which are in selling that work with Android 11 (for example) and I realised that my mobile LG-350N (K8) has better characteristics. And I was thinking that technicaly it has to be possible for a LG-350N (K8) running a SO newer than the 6.0. But officialy there are not more updates beyond the 6.0, that is why I am here. It can be possible to upgrade my mobile LG-350N (K8) using a non official firmware? do you recommend me to try this? some of you knows where can I find these files? some of you knows which of them works best?
I like my mobile and it works perfect. It doesnt make any sense to buy a new one which probably is even worse just because there are not official updates provided by the manufacturer. And I couldn't believe that nobody thought about this. That is why I arrived to this forum.
I am looking forward to hearing from you guys,
Thanks a lot
that device was deprecated long ago, you really should buy a new one

thanks for your answer. It just need a better SO. Its characteristics are still OK. Nowadays, they are selling phones even worse, but they run a newer SO, just that. Maybe it exists some third party SO to stop this non-sense. My mobile works perfect
there is no much develepment for that device, so no much to do
