Made a call to LG Latvia, and asked about kitkat for og.

The girl on the phone told me that kitkat for og is in the testing mode.

She can not tell me the correct date of update.

Same for g2. No update for g pro, because this device is not supported in Latvia, same with g flex.

Nou update for 4x hd.
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
If it is true, I hope they fix some issues as well, like the poor camera software and the poor audio quality.
[LG Optimus G (International)] jancis201991:
I hope, that testing period isn't six month long*
[LG Optimus G (International)] 2nd Sky:
haha yes :D :D or i hope we can get a "test_KK_E975_Z20.kdz" for our g ;)

Indeed. I was "once bitten, twice shy" with LG and updates... The number of times they "said" they'd update and retract the statement later is laughable.

I'll beleive it when we get a release.

hi i am someone

i heard, lg will release official lg optimus g e975 kitkat firmware (v20B) :D :D :D ;)

oh.. that's good :laugh: ..but i think we don't have to troll around here. Just to question the guys that are trying to do that(lie, take credit, etc).. so they can't fool other respectable users.

Ha! You do realize that Canadians are already on V20H, right? :laugh: (not a joke, check the version for yourself). :p

Is there anything else to do here? I mean, seriously... :) It's all moot until one of the three things happens:

1. LG releases the official update, and those who were predicting it, scream: "We told you so!!!"

2. LG officially confirms that there will be no update, and the nay-sayers scream: "We told you so!!!"

3. No official update, and no word from LG up the point in time when nobody gives a crap anymore.

As you see, for both parties it's a fair chance to get to scream "We told you so!!!", but no matter the outcome, nobody will be able to provide a solid proof that they knew what was coming (or not). So... Let's troll away!!! :D
[LG Optimus G (International)] CrawnberyJack:
or..there is the 4th option to wait and see. and talk about it. search for news. etc.

find news , leaks , etc. talk about lg 4.4 ui. you understand what i say.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
Yep, I understand what you say. But "wait and see" is exactly what we are doing right now, and what's ultimately leading to #1, #2, or #3, so it's not really an option #4... :) And speaking of news, leaks, etc. -- yeah, sure, we can talk about the LG UI (which is not specific to our particular device), discuss news, and what not, but I am just saying that, knowing LG, it's all nothing but rumours, no matter the source, until there is a final announcement. In Russian, there is a saying that one may have "seven Fridays in a week" -- that's LG, right there. :D "Trolling" may not be the best word, but these discussions are kinda pointless -- I don't mean regarding 4.4 from LG in general, but for our device (just my own opinion, of course)...
[LG Optimus G (International)] grrrr_unt:
I don't want to doubt anyone, but I guess the only way we can prove anything is to wait and see if 4.4 ever comes..

On topic: Stock rom is by far the best I've tried, there are some cool things in KitKat roms based on CM, but the battery remains the biggest problem. LG's KitKat would be a perfect thing for this beast of a phone :)

By the way, I might be going a bit offtopic right now, but does any of you who have KitKat rom can play videos in browser? I was trying to find a way to play videos in MX player, but without any success so far, those can only be played with stupid stock app which is quite buggy :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] chevro1et:
Flash player in stock browser doesn't work? what about Flash-enabled versions of Dolphin browser? I wouldn't know, only stock ROMs for me so far.
[LG Optimus G (International)] sunyakram:
Ucbrowser is also working well.
[LG Optimus G (International)] bigblackboots:
Any news?:confused:

I made a call to LG Latvia, the girl on the phone told me that new firmware is in the testing mode, but the answer that I got form LG Latvia on their facebook page is different, that they don't know about kitkat for OG or G pro, only that G flex will be sold in Latvia :))

After this I don't know what to think :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] 2nd Sky:
the girl felt in love with u! <3 ;)

wait 1-2 month after G2 KK was released and when after that time is no G kk, i think no support more...
[LG Optimus G (International)] artssa:
After all these news, I'm starting to believe that maybe we'll get the KK update.. At least there's hope.

I agree with 2nd Sky, once G2 gets its update we'll know something more concrete about LGOG..
[LG Optimus G (International)] bigblackboots:
LG is trolling company :D

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

I asked her twice on this week, about kitkat for OG and the answer was the same. TESTING MODE FOR OG and G2 in Latvia, bla bla now it depends on the test result and bla bla bla nou correct date for update.

I made a call after Estonia posted fake news on their FB page and the girl on the phone told me that it isn't true, and they don't know about kitkat for OG :laugh

Sou thing's have changed, because now she will tell u that kitkat is in the testing mode :cyclops:

anyway they can't give me a bad answer :) Life's Good. U know ;)

Why I didn't bought htc one ;[ Lg tricked me again, first time was with Optimus One

I don't miss updates before and i also dont wait for them when i an with nexus 4. But....... I got optimus G's 4.1.2 ui batter then nexus's 4.2 and 4.3.

Ok, posts removed.

May i remind everyone that the open forum is not the correct place to discuss your objections with another member, now the parties involved and you know who you are, may i recomend that you stop this argument and move along. I would like to think that the users of XDA can behave in a more fitting manner, and some more than others, should be holding themselfs to an even higer standard.

Thank you

[LG Optimus G (International)] sunyakram:
Thank you for emailing bla bla bla

At the current moment LG does not have an expect release date for the Kit Kat Android operating systems update nor can we confirm which particular models will be eligible for the update. We suggest you check back with us in the coming month for more information once it becomes available.

Thinking about buying a Galaxy Note 2 or Xperia ZQ..

I really like the LGOG - I even preferred it than these other two when I bought.

Now I'm kinda regretted.. Only because of the lack of updates (and the camera), since everything else is excellent.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Rishi.:
^i agree . Everything else except camera performance and lack of timely updates.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Vuja1:
I'm from Serbia, and I sent mail to Serbian LG support. I asked them what upadted need to come first, 4.2.2, 4.3 or 4.4. They replied to me "Postovani Gospodine Vukasin,prema nezvanicnoj informaciji koju posedujemo (za sada), najverovatnije ce prvo izaci verzija 4.2.2.

Pozdrav LG".

This mean that they have unofficial information (for now) that first update will be probably 4.2.2, but how I said I'm from Serbia :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] JaymzBond:
definitely one of the best comments i ve seen around here
[LG Optimus G (International)] nchc:
Would love to be proven wrong, however I’m calling BS on a 4.4 update for multiple reasons. If LG planned to update the LGOG, why wouldn’t they announce such great support officially? LG may have access to 4.4 slightly before other manufacturers due to the nexus program and it should be comparatively easy to port a rom from Nexus 4. But why would they update their previous flagship (LGOG) device sooner than the current (LGOG2)? In Australia you can now get a LGOG for $388, an LGOG2 (16gb) for $549 or a SGS4 (16gb) for under $600. Samsung devices have the cool factor, enabling Samsung to maintain higher prices and increased profit margins. Comparative to Samsung, LG flagship phones sell a minute amount. I think LG’s business model is to sell their flagship phones cheaper than their competitors, but with nil updates.

Consequently the evidence and previous LG form suggest 4.4 isn't going to happen.

But at least half life 3 is confirmed
[LG Optimus G (International)] furkandeger:
What makes you think LGOG will get the update before G2? Could be simultaneous but not before. And what stops LG from being able to give the update to their latest three phones(or more whatever)?

This morning Canadian news...
[LG Optimus G (International)] fabripav:
Fingers crossed. French LG guys were quite sure though, lol.
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
I don't like the sound of the "evaluating" and the "if" in there :|
[LG Optimus G (International)] LNJ:
Sure sounds like it's not happening anytime soon. Not to mention that the carriers may totally snub it since they have way more flagship phones this year which probably will outsell the OG.
[LG Optimus G (International)] nchc:
Fair call regarding simultaneous G & G2 4.4. updates. What restricts LG from updating their phones is money, or lack thereof. LG's mobile phone profit may even be less than Samsung spend on marketing their phones. Don't get me wrong I want this update to be occur. I'm trying to prevent myself (& others) not to get caught up in the whirlwind of rumours and then feel let down by LG if it doesn't eventuate.

We only need a few carriers world wide to provide the update (for useable modems), the devs will eventually take care of the rest.
[LG Optimus G (International)] LNJ:
I'm sure it will happen eventually for the E975. I just call bull**** on LG Canada for the E971/973. I doubt the carriers will bother for such a low volume phone.
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
They did in the past, why sudently wouldn't they now?
[LG Optimus G (International)] LNJ:
When the OG was still a flagship phone before the ONE and S4 came out and also cause the E975 in most countries came with it out of the box.

Now the focus has shifted to the One, S4, Note 3, G2, Z1 and so on.

We may not get an official carrier rom but hopefully for us E971 users, we get a E977 rom so that the modem will be compatible with 2600mhz LTE.
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
I'm not talking about the OG, I'm talking about "older devices" that where updated in the past, like the SGSII, notes, many HTCs, etc.. They did it then, why wouldn't they do it now?
[LG Optimus G (International)] LNJ:
Low volume vs high volume. I know absolutely nobody in my circle that even knew the OG existed. They all own or have owned the S2, S3, Note, One X and etc.
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
I know a lot of "low volume" devices that where updated. Just look at the Low end HTC, or the nexus, they where updated to the latest OS available by all the providers.

Basically, They will update any devices as long as the maker provides them.
[LG Optimus G (International)] LNJ:
Let's hope you are right. I'll be happy with an E977 update.

The Canadian official JB is not to my liking compared to the international one. Especially how the damn capacitive keys stay on as long as the screen is touched. Annoying to say the least.
[LG Optimus G (International)] vuvuxela:
I believe LG will provide one more major update to OG

I don't care it's 4.3 or 4.4, but please give us "knockon" function

it's very useful and extend the power button life
[LG Optimus G (International)] Zunex95:

Its one of the last updates for nexus 10, so enjoy it:))
[LG Optimus G (International)] prog19:
When a nexus device stop being supported the devs will always come with aosp roms
[LG Optimus G (International)] jordy1990:
Presumably it is. I think it will get 4.5 or 5.0. Like the Nexus 7(2012) has gotten 3 updates, other Nexus devices will probably also get 3 updates. It's still better than OG (E975)which didn't receive any updates yet..
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
If I am not mistaken, OG was originally released on 4.0.4, and updated to 4.1.2 very shortly after, so, technically, it got one update... :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] ankit360:
But 4.1 was released before Optimus G so it LG fault to release Optimus G on ICS so logically it got no update
[LG Optimus G (International)] jordy1990:
Indeed it did. But that's why I wrote E975, as that model was released with 4.1.2.:) Frankly I couldn't care less about other OG models having received an update, as my OG's software version is V10, and that's what matters to me. But you've definitely got a point. :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
Yeah, I can see your point, but an update means a change of f/w version on a particular device at any time from its release, regardless of what other versions may be generally available at a time...

Ahh, sorry, somehow I thought E975 was also released on 4.0.4. I may be wrong. BTW, funny that you mentioned V10. The latest Canadian stock 4.1.2 is actually V20H - you'd think V20 would be the next version, at least 4.2.x, but it's not. Go figure...
[LG Optimus G (International)] jordy1990:
Actually the explanation is pretty simple. :) LG gives the initial version the "name" V10 (for the Canadian version 4.0.4) after an update is released the software version will be V20. So the 2 has noting to do with the Android version being 4.2. But I can understand that it could be confusing.
[LG Optimus G (International)] dj_beatmaster:
Today asked LG Latvia twitter account about the news with Optimus G and 4.4. At the start the answer was the standard "when there will be updates, we will announce them and push to users".

After my note that in some forum I have read that LG Latvia phone answered "4.4 testing in progress", they answered that at the moment "development and software adjustment is going on" :good:

So I thing Optimus G will receive KitKat update :cool:

[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
A messenger propagating information he doesn't understand or non-verified rumors IS the one to blame as much as any other troll.

Can anyone who understands these codes (beside the cell model) please explain us what does it mean?
[LG Optimus G (International)] puma99dk|:
they are a list from a software rom that shows which models it's for.

it's like the GTA V files for Xbox One and PS4 which clearly shows it can run on Windows aswell since Microsoft emulated the whole Xbox One experience on Windows 7 pc's on trips.
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
Actually, the only thing you can say for sure about this list is that it is a list.

This can be a list of supported device for the current camera software as well as supported device for any apps that runs over Java.

Public / static / final is usually used for releases to specifie if it should be included when the OS is requesting lists of update. Like on most linux distribution, you can make "apt" retreive only final update, final and beta, unsupported, etc. on the sources.list file.

This is a list without a source, like taking a picture of a random page on a phone book and telling people that it is a list of supsect for the murder of JFK...

BTW: I'm not telling it's NOT a list of updated device for 4.4, nor telling it IS, it's just A LIST without context and meaning.
[LG Optimus G (International)] tsunamic:
Who are you? What type of brain activity do you have? You blame me for trolling and after a while you made explanations over my proof? I just wanted to share what i saw in a tech bulletin, i had no other purposes. If you believe or not!

I am not sure what you want to mean by this reply, but you don't have to be concerned about my "brain activity" as it well, very well, thank you!

My judgement is also prety well, as I can difference well documented news from useless, and source-less attempt of rumors that was already posted pages ago.

As for the trolling allegation, I'm sorry but I tend to NOT trust someone with only so many posts (5 as of now) that is "reporting" something as huge as an ETA for the alleged update.
