Samsung is Worst of all. Like there is no HTC or Sony. Why not buy Sony rather samsung. You may support LG but for me It is last LG Device in my life until they really get things straight.

Even worst samsung have given many Update things from newer models to last year flagship. Battery bug are always improved. None today have such bug upto 4.3. In Kitkat it will improve.

Hope as you believe, LG will improve.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jishnu Sur™:
What ever LG releases, they make sure its rock solid. Sony? Xperia U/Sola/P/ and many others got stuck at 4.0.4 ICS. And then Xperia S/ION/T got stuck at 4.1.X JB.

Coming to Htc, well their stats shows what they sell and what people get. I can clearly see you got the latest update before Samsung S4/ Htc One/ Samsung Note Models. But they again you might argue.. Someone said haters may hate.. :D

And i am writing from a Galaxy Note whose JB update killed the battery in a day without doing anything. Just stand by..
[LG Optimus G Pro] Glops4:
I used to like Samsung, I had Galaxy W, then S3, S4, all are slow with touchwizz but easy to play with custom roms. Tried HTC sensation ( just a pain to root and change rom, you have to use a needle, bend it for an exact nuber of seconds, lol) and HTC one (worse battery ever). But since I have this G pro, with its touchwizz like UI, it is a real pleasure and every time I am amazed with its speed. Using a custom rom is just for fun but not to get more speed actually. I think I will stick with LG for a while as long as they can provide me a removable battery and SD-card... Can't wait to try this Kitkat on my OGP with or without knock-on :cool:
[LG Optimus G Pro] NaveenKumarXDA:
Flagship models only please!!! anyway, You better check your note than. My friend have note with JB & it is working flawless.

I don't know why this knock on its so important, its just a button guys, and for me,I think for knock on, there might be many wake ups, as the cpu have to be ready for it always, that's where hardware keys come into perspective
[LG Optimus G Pro] optimusv45:
I think Its the G Flex commercial that did this to them. I think it's another s2w
[LG Optimus G Pro] NardVa:
From the various post I read KitKat will not bring the G Pro any added neat features. Looks like LG will have to release a value pack update for that.
[LG Optimus G Pro] fosunite:
Yes, it s true. But what i am pointing out is, that the amount ofvpeople who bought this phone might be roughly the same as in korea or even more... so assuming that in korea itself doesnt sell so well, maybe outside korea could be better. And so the support shall be more outside of korea than inside.
[LG Optimus G Pro] arifqur:
The main advantage of Kitkat update is the speed and performance that it brings to the device.

The features that it may or may not have is not important.
[LG Optimus G Pro] galapagos:
Yes, so true. But it appears some people think it's their right to receive the new features that come with the newer phones. It's an OS upgrade, not a features upgrade. Extra features, however little, are just added bonus. At any rate, there will be plenty of custom roms with knock-on capability in the near future.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Ghufrons:
What makes you think that there will be plenty of cusrom with knock-on in near future? Consider theres no cusrom with knock-on until now (except the thunder one, it sucks).

Well i hope youre right somehow.
[LG Optimus G Pro] optimusv45:
What you may also consider is the business environment in different counties. In the u.s AT&T may be reluctant to release update even if it was available for better sales of other model New phones. This may not be the case in Korea
[LG Optimus G Pro] Macianer:
Anyway I hope thwt the update will be released very soon for the E986.

Gesendet von meinem LG-E986 mit Tapatalk
[LG Optimus G Pro] tatkovladko:
I'd immediately argue that speed and performance are already on par if not better than all other snapdragon 600 devices. To me personally this OS update will be worthless unless they also fix the abysmal sound recording and microphone performance of the device which is it's only serious flaw.
[LG Optimus G Pro] artssa:
What's the new camera app like in 4.4 Kitkat? Anything different?

Also, are there more pic sizes for you to choose (4.1.2 camera app has only 4 sizes - 1mp, 8mp, 10mp and 13mp, terrible, especially for me, that prefer wide-screen photos around 4 or 5mp each.)

Anyway, what else can we wait regarding the new camera app?

Thank you guys!

[LG Optimus G Pro] tatkovladko:

@catelusii

See this video I made to get an idea about the sound recording quality:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQTXaAFk9ow

(btw the stuttering motion is due to YouTube, the video is smooth on the phone and on my PC)

This problem also extends to anything related to the microphones, for example:

The voice recorder also produces the same awful sound quality.

When I speak softly on the phone (I don't really fancy shouting when I'm on the street or when I have just woken up), the other party usually says "what??" "I can't hear you..." "can you repeat that?"

I tried fiddling with many different camera apps, but they cannot gain control over the settings, e.g. I set 320kbps audio and still the output will be 96kbps.

I tried modifying the media_profiles.xml too. First of all modifying it does not produce any result, so don't try. And also I managed to softbrick the phone into a bootloop after setting 320kbps in that file. Thanks God I managed to gain root access via ADB shell and delete the file and replace it with the backed up file which solved the bootloop, so beware.

If there is any launcher stuttering (which I could not detect, see 1st video above), one could resolve it for example by using another launcher.

The sound recording quality on the other hand cannot be resolved unless a very kind developer or modder decides to mod it somehow (if at all possible). :(

The update will not push through since your device is 'modified'. You have to unroot first.

[LG Optimus G Pro] aygriffith:
Why do the Mods for the G Pro forums let there be thread after thread about 4.x upgrades? There is more than one forum on XDA that has one and only one thread about any upgrade greater than than whatever the GR is on phone. Can the mods please close all these threads and consolidate the conversation about 4.2, 4.3, or 4.4 on the G Pro to a master speculation thread in the main general forum? Close new threads that pop up outside of the speculation thread.

I realize the conversation for the G Pro can be slower but it's a waste of time to wade through the numerous "OMG Where iz KitKatBeanz??!" threads.

Just saying...
[LG Optimus G Pro] landeiro:
forum is free. You arent correct.
[LG Optimus G Pro] aygriffith:
Correction, this particular device sub forum is free and has little corralling done by the moderators. There's plenty of other XDA device sub forums that have or have had an official speculation thread about any device OS updates. You can disagree, but this device sub forum is a mess with every 16 year old kid wanting to start a Jelly Bean or KitKat thread. If I could thumbs down all of them I would. And considering the "proof" most people have that the G Pro will get an update is either one blog article reposted umpteen times in each separate thread or even worse the reason we're certain about the upgrade is because user X absolutely has a gut feeling this will happen.

[LG Optimus G Pro] RaiderDuck:
Exactly. I've been skeptical of announced updates ever since Motorola spent the better part of a YEAR promising my Atrix would get ICS in the third quarter of 2012. Third quarter came and went with no update. The day after Q3 ended, Motorola released a statement saying (slight paraphrase): "WE LIED, SUCKERS! You're staying with Gingerbread and there's nothing you can do about it 'cause we've already got your money! HA HA HA!"

On the bright side, this did lead to me discovering XDA...:cool:
[LG Optimus G Pro] landeiro:

[LG Optimus G Pro] RaiderDuck:
Not buying it. Even the article's author is highly skeptical at best.
[LG Optimus G Pro] aygriffith:
Exactly. If it hits the International G Pro by year end I'd be shocked. You can pretty much expect end of Q1 2014 for AT&T's E980. At that point you probably won't even see the device in stores.

There should be a balance. One coming from mighty devs, and of course the update/support from LG. And we'll all be a happy camper.
