wow LG really often changes its mind. Do you know something about the 4.2 update? Will it come before Kitkat?
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
And we are supposed to take "your word" for this?

Coming from a user with only 4 posts, all of them about this very news!

Tell you what, get your father to email me from his official working e-mail (from LG), and I'll believe you and even corroborate and repost here.

PM me for my e-mail address...
[LG Optimus G (International)] krk2krk:
Im also a G user from india. This is wht the reply which i got from LG about 4.4 update. Thy simply pointing me out to lg support page. As u all aware thr we cant find any thing about future update... btwn hw the france team said abt 4.4 update ???
[LG Optimus G (International)] Illenc:
Let's hope it's true and we get soon the update. I wouldn't like to be, again in the position of not getting updates for a fairly new device, like happend to me before with HTC DEsire HD. I simply was so fed up I moved to LG Optimus, and now again it seems updates are not coming.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
Neverending story -- the grass always seems greener in neighbour's yard, huh? :p Like I said before, LG is notorious for crappy updates. My old Optimus 2X (the world's first dual-core Android phone, BTW!) was stuck with no ICS update for the longest time, so many users felt LG actually abandoned its recent flagship. It came eventually, but it was quite a wait, with LG divisions in different countries changing its mind and announcing different things several times along the way. So, after going through that experience, I really don't care who says what. Until the update actually comes out, it's all unconfirmed rumours absolutely not worth your nerves, that's all. Yes, I would be really excited to get it, but until then, I have other things to worry about... :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] Illenc:
As long as we get it, It's fine, but with HTC DHD the update never actually came.
[LG Optimus G (International)] atifsh:
we may get 4.3, like samsung LG might skip 4.2. if im not wrong sony and htc also skipped it.
[LG Optimus G (International)] fabripav:
Not really much point in not skipping 4.2, if they want to put 4.3 too.
[LG Optimus G (International)] akahroba:
because you were already on 4.4.2. weren't you?
[LG Optimus G (International)] cgrafi:
Right
[LG Optimus G (International)] akahroba:
Yes it wipes all the data. You need to use CSE both for upgrade and downgrade. Kn other cases use normal mode and your data won't be wiped.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Vuja1:
I think u r wrong :D because my friend have HTC One X and he got 4.2.2 last month. But we will not skip 4.2.2 because I contact LG support and they told me that first update for our phone is 4.2.2 but they don't know when :( LGOG is perfect phone and with this ROM I don't have any bugs but if my phone can run on 4.4 why to not get it :D
[LG Optimus G (International)] atifsh:
Didn't know that, let's see if it's just one region and test or it will go round the world.
[LG Optimus G (International)] grrrr_unt:
Your country's LG says 4.2.2

LG France says 4.4

Some other sources say LG is deciding between 4.2.2, 4.3, and a mere feature pack upgrade (but still on 4.1.2)..

Who do we listen to?!?!?!?!

[LG Optimus G (International)] MarcSinger:
Sony hasn't skipped 4.2. The Z and the ZL (I don't know about others) are currently on 4.2.2, after being upgraded from the previous 4.1.2. However, Sony has officially confirmed they'd be upgrading to 4.3 sometime in Q4 2013. Can't say anything about 4.4, though.
[LG Optimus G (International)] grrrr_unt:
Hmm yeah what does this mean? What would it be doing in the G2 firmware..

[LG Optimus G (International)] furkandeger:
I believe he wants to imply that G2 firmware which is 4.2.2 was originally coded to work on the models in the pic or something like that.
[LG Optimus G (International)] grrrr_unt:
Hmm that's very good to hear, but I wouldn't be too surprised! I mean, after all, I believe the Optimus G's specs are enough to handle the G2 firmware. Question is, will an update ever come out?

Ohwell, good thing Android is open source.. If LG decides not to, I'll head over to custom roms., :p
[LG Optimus G (International)] Jishnu Sur™:
You know wahr, all the LG JB firmwares are almost the same, they just hide a few features because of hardware. You tell me, why would G2's 4.2.2 have OG's Codes if they weren't also built for OG..
[LG Optimus G (International)] grrrr_unt:
G2 might have OG's codes, but OG might not have all of G2's codes.. Does anyone know if our Snapdragon S4 Pro is capable of supporting the multitasking features of the G2 (eg. Slide Aside), supported by G2's S800?

If the S4 Pro supports them, then it would make sense for OG to get G2's 4.2.2.. But then again, LG might not invest their time into building the firmware for OG, even though a portion of it is already coded for. Well, based on their observed trend of not delivering updates to devices capable to supporting updates.

But in any case, I'm hoping for a 4.4 kitkat update, which won't have the bugs present in 4.1 (mass texting, etc.) 4.2 and 4.3. But of course it would come with the bugs of 4.4, given that it's the first build.

Will Google ever release news about when the update will be unveiled??? We don't even have a definite date for the press event!! Lol

LG is sucks with software support :( we don't even have 4.2.2 and my opinion is that we can't think about 4.4 in near future, first to get 4.2.2 than maybe 4.4 after 6-8 months :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
It would be logical to skip 4.2...it would be less work for them.but again,we're talking about lg:)

Sent from stock LG E975/smart phones,dumb people.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Vuja1:
yeah I agree with u about skipping, but if u look from this side of view we own former lg flagship, now is G2 their flagship, and why would they give us 4.4 if G2 is more important phone for their sale :( my opinion is that we will always be one rom behind from G2 :( Our phone is perfect and cheaper than G2 and if u take a look why to buy G2 with 4.4 when u have cheaper perfect phone G with 4.4, because of that i think that we will always be behind G2 :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
Bottom line, skip G2 and go for N5 :). I'm thinking of this possibility:)...let's hope i can find someone in US to buy me one :).But i wouldn't go for the 16gb version, although i have 10gb cloud storage with unlimited traffic. I want the 32gb model :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] Vuja1:
+1 N5 is best option for now :D
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
I don't realy think spending 300$ on something else is any "option" for anyone with a Optimus G, the device is barely one year old and the current hardware are not realy an upgrade.

Before spending cash on a N5, i'd advise anyone to try a custom built instead. It's close to a vanilla rom and it's still free!
[LG Optimus G (International)] fabripav:
About one month ago I asked LG Italia (through facebook) if they knew anything about an update, and mentioned what the LG France page said. Well they replied now saying "well KitKat has been announced, so we have something to talk about. We still don't have an official plan for the update of our devices. We'll let you know as soon as we know anything. Update plans vary from country to country".
[LG Optimus G (International)] LNJ:
Stock is still king. All those custom roms have their own issues. Plus why buy and OG if you want drab vanilla Android?

That's what the Nexus is for!
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
True...you can't compare the logistics involved in a big company with the resources available for an outside team,like cm. No matter how talented they are,they can't compete. Saying an unofficial build will be better..well...you are a dreamer. You might get a bigger score on some benchmark..you may even get a litle more battery..but the overall experience is on stock..and don't confuse vanilla with aosp..

Sent from stock LG E975/smart phones,dumb people.
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
I'm comparing paying 399$ for a Nexus 5 vs. getting a custom Kit Kat rom on an Optimus G. You'll basically end up having a realy similar device for free.

Spending 399$ is not worth it IMHO!
[LG Optimus G (International)] LNJ:
The point being is why buy an OG if not for the LG features? I like the LG software touches. Custom vanilla Android based roms just look drab!
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
No, the point is why by a N5 when you have an LGOG only for KitKat.

[LG Optimus G (International)] davevinci:
Because I can that's why
[LG Optimus G (International)] Cayman.n2o:
To tell the truth, I chose OG over Nexus 4 simply cuz it was the same price as N4 and on paper offered a bit more. Stock android is nice but it lacks the little things that you get with other manufacturers systems.
[LG Optimus G (International)] vuvuxela:
we all wish a KK update, but as LG..... IMO we never get it.

But actually what's the big different between 4.1.2 and 4.4? Mutil user setting? Will more fun on facebook, whatsapp, music, video, internet surfing, candy crash? Definitely not.

For me, the most huge improvement in the past is project butter, but for this 0.1 updating, I don't expect any huge improvement.

But I hope LG can give us an update with their knock on function, it can expend the power bottom life, whatever it's 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4.
[LG Optimus G (International)] patalao:
There's a mod(apk) that uses the volume keys to awake the screen.

I know it's not the same but works very well.

There are more interesting software than that, that could be ported in a next update from LG

[LG Optimus G (International)] phoenix_rizzen:
For the hardware, obviously.

LG software is crap. And outdated crap at that.

But the LG hardware is awesome.

And so is the total pocket computer experience when you put leaner, cleaner, more optimised software on top. Like Rootbox 4.2.2. Or Carbon 4.3. (CM is better than LG, but neither of them play in the same league as RB or C.)

---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

You obviously haven't played with any 4.2 or 4.3 ROMs.

4.0 is the baseline.

4.1 is smoother.

4.2 is even faster.

But 4.3 increases performance * and * increases battery life beyond the rest.
[LG Optimus G (International)] patalao:
Why do you say that LG software is crappie.

For me is very good and useful.

If we go that way, the other brands also have crappie software because they are all very simillar and on the other hand the average Joe doesn't use half of those things in the daily use

Enviado do meu LG-E975
[LG Optimus G (International)] LNJ:
LG software in your opinion may be crap...but at least it is rock solid compared to the crappy CM and it's derivatives!

I like and use the proprietary LG UI functions and the apps.

I think I have been scarred by the crap that was the Galaxy Nexus!

Crappy hardware on a whole which didn't help the case of vanilla Android!
[LG Optimus G (International)] patalao:
LG is improving in a good way.

Since they released the LG G they have been in the good way.

We can see new designs, new software functions, the best hardware of today's and above all we have all these things with a competitive price., much cheaper than HTC or Samsung.

The only thing they have to improve right now is the updates.

After they give proper updates for their old flagship they will be In pair with the others.

Enviado do meu LG-E975
[LG Optimus G (International)] vuvuxela:
First, I don't think LG's software is crap, at least in my OG 4.1.2. It's super stable and battery acceptable (compare with S4).

Second, I'm also using the new N7 with 4.3 and S4 with 4.2, I can't notice any different on the "smooth" and "fast", or not big enough to notice easily.

So I think the problem is yourself, over expectation on the updating and don't know how to enjoy your phone.
[LG Optimus G (International)] LNJ:
Well said. When I bought the OG last December, I owned the GNEX which was on JB 4.2.1 while the G was only on 4.0.4 and I had no issues going back to ICS cause LG had done a good job.

Hopefully they will at least give us another major update.

I am also expecting delivery of a Nexus 5 as well (impulse buy). I like the fact that the navbar is now transparent cause the black bar used to drive me nuts!
[LG Optimus G (International)] rimsilva:
What I can say is people that says LG is crap and CM is the best thing for sure they don't use all function of their phone.

I've installed several times custom ROM's and went back for stock because I need a BT hands free working... Sometimes was working others don't, I need stability.

Now every day there is someone asking if the CM wifi connections is ok or not... I now they can leave with that but I can't. without a 100% working custom rom I don't change from stock.

I'm always searching for a UI change. No, no a launcher it's not enough to me :(

Btw I've tested AOSP KitKat ROM... OMG AOSP it's not for me...
[LG Optimus G (International)] phoenix_rizzen:
Like I said, you obviously haven't used any 4.2 or 4.3 ROMs. Once you do, you'll realise just how crappy the LG software is.

Battery life is "acceptable"? That's your highest praise? If you aren't getting 4 hours of screen-on time, then your battery life isn't "acceptable". If you have less than 40% battery after a full day of use, then it isn't "acceptable". Those are things that are possible on 4.3, but not on LG's 4.1.

I used LG software for several months when I first got my LGOG. It's crap. Hardware is amazing, but the LG software, not so much.

Just because you haven't tried anything better, doesn't mean what you have is the best.

Once you try RootBox 4.2.2 or Carbon 4.3, you'll never want to use the stock firmware again. (Avoid CM, it's only barely better than LG.)
[LG Optimus G (International)] t1mman:
I'm using about everything from the devices and the CM10.1/Geeb's AOKP roms are more than useable for daily use. And I'm not saying stock is crap, LG's interface is well above any samsung or HTC's UI, but saying CM10.1/Geeb's AOKP is "unuseable" is far from the thruth.

Anyway, my original point was not about the UI, but rather if the switch for N5 from a LGOG is "worth it".

Hardware wyze: Not at all

UI Wyze, you can get a rom exactly like any nexus easely, so not at all either.
[LG Optimus G (International)] jegor011:
Try to be more specific. Copy&Paste the same paragraph saying it's crappy doesn't mean a thing. Saying: "it's crappy because..." is useful information.
[LG Optimus G (International)] LNJ:
What's crap about LG UI? The fact that you don't like it?
[LG Optimus G (International)] jin5:
I must respectfully disagree. I have used both stock and 3rd party roms. LG did a wonderful job on the stock firmware, something I can't say about Samsungs stock firmware. it is extremely stable, fast and everything just works as it should. I have easily gotten 4 hours+ On screen time with the stock LG firwmare. Sure it doesn't have every single feature 3rd party roms do but that isn't the point of it. I have loaded carbon, rootbox, etc etc and while I love all the features, it simply isn't as solid. Sometimes there are problems with the camera, bluetooth, kernel crash, etc. I understand not everyone experiences it, but it is there.

With that said, after using Stock for sometime I have found a stable combination and loving it. Beanstalk 4.2.2, mystery kernel, and camera.apk from the s4 dump (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43005130&postcount=1)

Thank you to all the developers and to the community.
[LG Optimus G (International)] fabripav:
Did someone really just say "If you have less than 40% battery after a full day of use, then it isn't "acceptable""? Really?
[LG Optimus G (International)] vuvuxela:
Okay, I hope we can get stock 4.3+ update.

However it would be appreciated if you can tell me how crap LG software is, lag? hang? freeze? hot? battery drain faster than other brand's stock rom? ugly? There must be some reasons make you think it's crap.

And also if you compare with custom roms and say crap is not fair as stock rom can't give up some functions and stability to maximize the battery and speed, stock must take balance.

[LG Optimus G (International)] e34v8:
The update I want is 4.3. I have used 4.2 with my previous phones (Galaxy Nexus and HTC One X) and performance wise, it is not a good update.

4.1 and 4.3 are the best versions that Google released in terms of optimizations. So I really hope we get directly 4.3.

I have not used 4.4 and I do not know how's that.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Karcha:
A user from another forum I visit posted this:

For those who don't understand spanish, it basically says that LG is working on bringing 4.4 to the OG, they don't have any exact dates but they plan to upgrade it if there are no technical problems and once they make sure it's stable.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Cayman.n2o:
I had HTC One S and Galaxy s2 before OG. I have used a lot of custom roms on all of my phones, but official allways work best. I'm not talking about getting a few hundreds more on benchmarks, I'am talking about functionality and stability. I love Sense, and just couldn't get away from it. Now with OG I'm happy with stock rom. Just enough options to set device to suite my needs and its stable. Still I gotta admit that compared to TouchWiz and Sense it feels like just skined stock Android, much less features.

[LG Optimus G (International)] Cayman.n2o:
Hmmm, my phone says next update check is today, 05/11/2013 but when I try to manualy check it gives me server not responsing or something like that. Maybe they are making some changes on server? Maybe a new update? :)

Edit: Just got through connection, next update check changed to 12/11/2013
[LG Optimus G (International)] GrievousMcG:
My phone next update check is 09/11/13. It doesn't mean much, just mean that the phone periodically sync with the LG servers for software updates which may contains bug fixes and minor software updates.

However having to read through this thread, there are some good signs pointing to a strong possibility of this phone being upgraded to 4.4 which I hope they do otherwise I'm gonna fork out for the G2.

Guys,

I have heard so many reports of reps hinting at software updates for so many different phones ... most of them ending up being false hopes.... I won't believe in a software update unless we have physical proofs of his existance. Call me a pessimist but I consider myself a realist ...

I always have two phones; the Latest Nexus (I just received my Nexus 5 !!) and watever free phone my provider will give me every 2 years. The Optimus G will likelly be my last LG phone seing how they don't follow trough on software updates (compared to Samsung and HTC flagship devices)

Motorola killed the magic in me years ago when I got stuck on Gingerbread with the Atrix. The first dual core phone on the market. It even has 1Gb ram ... What a waste ...
