What about LG D802 from Dubai?

Hi

I've got an LG G2 unlocked from Dubai, Emirates and using it in Egypt. Will I get updated with the European models? or We're left totally behind? I got bored when I check for updates everyday and it says the boring message that I'm using the latest version:(
[G2 General] DesertHawk:
Yes Emirat uses D802 so you are just like all European users. I am from Dubai and my Ex-G2 was D802 matching the European market one
[G2 General] Koopa777:
You do realize that the S3 is receiving KitKat, right?
[G2 General] 0331:
And the G2 will also. But the amount of time that had passed from the s3 being on 4.1.2 until its next update which was 4.3 was torturous. Verizon was the last carrier to send out 4.3. Even small, regional prepaid carriers got 4.3 before big red.
[G2 General] kapybarus:
G2 didn´t have 4.3 at all. This year we also ignore 5.0 and jump to 5.5.5 next spring.
[G2 General] alvaro_lsrs:
s3 whit 4.4,Is it not a joke? ajajaj
[G2 General] renawld:
i guess it takes them forever to port their bloatware
[G2 General] combat2k:
I don't know why you're saying that you need KK for the mod. As far I've understood, only last version (in beta) works on KK, older versions needs only stock + root so it should work on 4.2.2. as well... otherwise, my bad :)

Cheers.

UPDATE: back on topic, ETA 1 day :)
[G2 General] Norside:
Yes,and thats why I am looking even more foreward to the KK update:good:
[G2 General] bender_007:
Eta for? Didn't someone post the french carrier rescheduled the release? (Or?) . I mean, I like updates :)
[G2 General] Life Engineer:
Sorry for jumping into this thread and sorry that I didn't read everything because it's growing so fast. But I have a small question in my mind!!!

"Why there isn't any kitkat love for other variants?"

I don't mean officially! I mean why didn't any developer or cooker yet take KK AT&T images and modify radio files and make roms for other variants?!

I'm not like un-thankful or being jerk, but it's really making me wonder! :confused: I mean when I had other phones, that's what happened! Take a cousin rom and port it to your phone! Especially if it's newer not the same (like G flex).

For example we can use LG G PRO 2 images on our G2! Or maybe LG G2 mini!

Thanks!
[G2 General] goodmamba:
Why waste precious time on reverse engineering a rom/kernel when it's simpler and more efficient in waiting few more days for a official rom.

Just have some f*****g patience. It will be release.
[G2 General] Sean473:
Technically someone here has a 802 4.4.2 kdz but doesn't want to release it... Or maybe he was a fake.. He should have just kept it to himself if he had no intention of releasing it.. Would Have saved quite a lot of blood and pain for everyone...
[G2 General] GranFlash:
GSM Arena posted article that LG G2 in French should get update to KitKat after weekend on 3th March. They're using International D802 versions of G2's.
[G2 General] BackDaws:
The UK d802 has another month to go yet :(
[G2 General] Doomhamma:
Not a month, rather a couple of days ... 03.03. is in like, what 4 days?
[G2 General] Sean473:
That's for SFR in France... In the UK, it will be mid March...
[G2 General] GranFlash:
Is it any problem to flash international D802 with SFR firmware ? I don't think so...
[G2 General] smederevoboy:
D802 International version OTA KK comes out tomorrow?
[G2 General] Sid_dominic56:
No, now they changed to 3rd march.

http://smartphones.sfr.fr/android/tableau-des-mises-a-jour-sfr-mars-2014/
[G2 General] Hid3rs:
Even if we will have the french KK .kdz, SFR only sells the 16gb version D802, so people who has a device with 32gb storage shouldn't flash it.
[G2 General] GranFlash:
They will put it into french devices only or for All D802 ?
[G2 General] bobsie41:
Just French devices as far as we know but, hopefully, somebody will post the .kdz for us all to flash. :laugh:
[G2 General] magoooood:
Thanks for your answer but I still don't know if I'll get updated with the French folks on the 3rd of March or at a later time (mid of March) with the UK folks?!
[G2 General] wargreymon89:
There are already leaks out, so with your logic we'll get 4.4 in December this year.
[G2 General] rokfor2000:
Exacly. The phone is great as it is with nice neat features everywhere. Once I'm beored with stock I'm gonna flash something custom and updates won't matter anymore anyway.

I'm comming from Nexus. Haveing always the NEWEST software is overrated. I ended up with custom ROM anyway.
[G2 General] rfarrah:
Looks like Canada gets the update in Q1.

[G2 General] screenager:
yes, modded stock rom is already performs and looks very good. but i think the implementation of trim in 4.3/4.4 is very important to protect the emmc. my s2 just died yesterday after only 2 years...

Use lg update tool to check if you are in Korea.

Press Thanks Here if Helped
[G2 General] Recon Freak:
Samsung updates their products. That's why they kick every other android manufacturers rear. Everyone wants the best support they can have for their products. No amount of advertising or cool device can make up for bad support.
[G2 General] AL_IRAQI:
if download links for Korean 4.4 available

they can port it to other variants right ?
[G2 General] DesertHawk:
Yeah. Anyone with LG 4.4 KOREAN PHONE please do a system dump it'll be easier for us to make it work. As long as kernel is the same
[G2 General] Melodycd:
Kernel should not be the same, cause 4.4 have major changes in with all that seKernel, art features(or bugs). But crossing my fingers, cause i didn't see any kernel developer in our G2 forum.
[G2 General] crzykiller:
Uhm KNOX is only Samsung... I don't know where you got that from. ART itself doesn't have bugs, it's the app developers that haven't updated there apps to work properly with ART.
[G2 General] screenager:
http://www.gsmarena.com/android_44_kitkat_now_seeding_to_korean_lg_g2-news-7288.php

Question: International Version or is there a special Version for SFR?
[G2 General] ChrisM75:
Not entirely true, ART does have bugs and is very unoptimised, thats why it was hidden in the developer settings which most people dont even know you can access. You cant even get ART on an N7 or N10!
[G2 General] atsfrnd:
this was posted yesterday..

4.4 KitKat for korean version is currently seeding..

wow :eek:

I hope this is for real!... Can't wait for the developers to start porting that...

[G2 General] woof123:
Update:The update keep failing on me,im sure its cause of the new custom rom,that i used.Its a rom from the K model and the upgrate doesnt seem to be able to proceed cause of this.I think i might have an older back up with another rom that worked...Hopefully.

Oh you mean pressing the update button? Not doing the update ;). Ok
[G2 General] DesertHawk:
No UAE coded phones will not. You will have the flash the KDZ when it becomes public.
[G2 General] magoooood:
I'm sorry that I couldn't understand your reply! what do you mean by no UAE coded phones will not? Are you implying that I'll never have the opportunity to update thru OTA?
[G2 General] shriom_manerker:
theres absolutely no way of unlocking this darn bootloader ? i wonder why lg locked it :-?
[G2 General] GranFlash:
Hopefully it will be .kdz for 32 GBs version too ;)
[G2 General] Fir3blade:
Samsung previously announced it, but denied it some days ago.

Ah, even t-moble D801 has got it. F*** you LG.

[G2 General] darknessmessiah:
Wow! The more the merrier! It is getting closer! :fingers-crossed:
[G2 General] TheErk:
If I were LG I would base the roll out on sales - control the roll out by sending it out to the versions with the least customers first. Iron out any big bugs before the D802 gets it.. risk based roll out I guess, why risk it so to say.. but that is just my 2 cents I got the 802 and waiting just as much as anyone else ;)
[G2 General] Trina9:
Now you know what in the US feel like when we wait months for the official update. I'm still waiting on Sprint here.
[G2 General] Hid3rs:
D802 users should check this link* to see if KK is available for them. As I read, T-Mobile hasn't yet pushed the update via OTA either, so chances are.

*delete the YOURIMEINUMBER part in the link, and write your actual IMEI number there

If you need a brick for your new home then yes.
[G2 General] votinh:
So, I can see less and less G2 owners hate LG now since they do have KK, it looks like those who haven't had KK yet, still hate LG to death and swear not to own one again. hehehehe. I bet few months from now when Google release new OS, whatever it will be, Lollipop or Licorice, G2 owners will start hating LG again for not keep us up-to-date. Smell!
[G2 General] MikeJennni:
I don't have it using stock update
[G2 General] mikkis2k:
I had the O4X and they did the same **** on this device.. though that device was utterly crap because of TEGRA, and i think LG LG2 is a good device.. but the support isn't great.. the AOSP roms suck and i really miss having paranoidandroid. But lg has a great stock rom experience.. but my next phone will not be another LG device. Because they are really crap when it comes to updates.
[G2 General] remio33:
I'm french and if i get KitKat on my D802 i will share kdz
[G2 General] matheus_sc:
I think you are wrong, LG g2 have a better aosp support for s800, have cm, paranoid slimkat ano aokp oficial support
[G2 General] mikkis2k:
Just because some device has "official support" doesn't mean it's good. The roms arn't good, because of the device itself.. It's locked.. and the bootloader is locked.. wich is RETARDED.. anyone who are in the android market.. should never lock a device's bootloader.
[G2 General] BackDaws:
They are all bad at releasing updates, as soon as Google release an update LG, Htc, Samsung etc should be on the ball and releasing updates of their own software within weeks, 6 months and more is pathetic!

How hard can it be to optimise their UI's to work with the latest software ? I mean ffs we have developers on XDA some as young as 14 maybe younger pushing out fixes for aosp ROMs in days in their bedrooms!
[G2 General] votinh:
I feel your frustration but I can't understand how you define or visualize ahead of time of which device will get update first? Say, your next device would be ......... what? S5, for instance. How do you know for sure that S5, Verizon will get update before S5 AT&T or S5 T-Mobile or the International version? Except going with Google devices, you will be just blind as every others and soon you pick one, you pray it will get update, left alone update first. How many Android mobile devices which released last year, do have KK update NOW? I believe it's less than 5. Are you sure that non-carrier, international version will come first then U.S. then U.K., then .....? It doesn't work that way.

Leaving LG 'cuz of their update procedure is somehow non-sense.

People are happy when they get what they want, and when they don't, they whine.

It is true for every mobile brand, not just LG.
[G2 General] mikkis2k:
This might be true. But kitkat 4.4 was released novemember 2013. And Note 3 was released around the same time, and the Note 3 got kitkat allready. And LG G2 came with 4.2.2 and not android 4.3 wich was out when they released the phone. They are just generally bad with updates. Just look at the phone i got! D802 Europe Open.. not even 1 update since release.. not 1.. No security update, no stability update, no software update, nothing..

I don't like samsung phones, because they remind me of iphone. They look the same .. it's just different backcovers and a tiny bigger display than the last version.

But next time i will research the forums, how the custom rom support is, and how the updates are going before buying another phone. As i said.. LG failed me again.. i even tried them a 2nd time.. even after that crappy LG O4X support. I gave them a second chance, and they failed:P So i'll keep this until i see iphone 6, hopefully a new and the last nexus device(i hope there will be a nexus 6 and with a great battery).

And maybe Nokia will be my next! who knows.. the new Nokia X looks cool, but the specs are pure crap. But they are finally jumping the Android wagon, and i hope the next android phone comming from Nokia is gonna be great and can be compared to the top devices from Sony, iPhone, Samsung, HTC.
[G2 General] :
blame androids\vendors ambitiob to provide military\police phones ;) they need to be locked
[G2 General] votinh:
Put the update thingy aside since it's personal preference.

I'm glad you bring up the Nokia, I'm fan of Nokia for their quality products, at least in term of call reception and clarity, I'm long time waiting for Nokia Android. I indeed might go with a Nokia in the future. Just two downside notes though, a. the GUI is ugly, for some reason, I can't stand the Windows Phone style, and b. they won't use Google Play store, but their (& M$) own app store, just like the Kindle and the Nook.

[G2 General] beggar23:

That's not the droid we're looking for. 10a is the very first Jelly Bean release. We need D80220a.
[G2 General] EdForce1:
Indeed, i realised after some minutes, sorry sorry sorry... :angel:

On the other hand, i thought they released updates to 10g or something, weird...

I agree with you 100% since all I got up till now since them moment I owned the phone was just 1 humbled update. But I'm kinda pissed off now with LG because you're implying that Middle East versions don't get that much attention even though we paid a hefty price for it so why we are treated less than other parts of the world!!!???

Anyway, let me ask you if it's a 100% safe process and I'd like you to link me please to a page that explains it step by step. I'm not a geek and I'm completely worried that I end up with a bricked phone! My heart won't tolerate this LOL

P.S. My phone is the 16 GB model and I'm still worried if the UK firmware can be installed on it without any problems or glitches!

Thanks in advance
[G2 General] Hid3rs:
It's safe. As long as you flash D802 16gb kdz's you're fine. Here's the site where you can get the .kdz file.

For example, this one should work with no problem: 6GB/UNITED KINGDOM_OPEN_16G [V10F] (it's Jelly Bean, of course, but the page will be updated with KitKat kdzs)

6GB means it's for 16gb variant. (don't get confused, in this case, GB = Great Britain, but yeah, if it starts with a 6, it's for the 16gb model)

You can find the guide here.
[G2 General] :
you asume to much...
[G2 General] stout0_0:
On a slight tangent and i apologise if this has been asked before.. Im currently rooted on the stock rom (D802). i was just about to unroot in waiting for the official 4.4 release. When i realise that there is no current way to root 4.4 and an uncertainty as to whether i could ever be possible. With that in mind would it be better if i remain rooted and wait for the release to be crafted by one of the many fine devs on this forum therefore maitainig root and having 4.4?
[G2 General] monkboy24:
Let patients be your friend bro. Your update will come when its ready too.
[G2 General] magoooood:
Thank you! I was just wondering if the firmware you recommended for me is exactly the same as the one I saw here on this page (the last ROM which starts with UK open...)

http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/United+Kingdom/
[G2 General] mikkis2k:
The problem here is.. the update for D802 has been ready for a long time. Because if crappy carriers can push the updates .. that means they have had the update for quite some time. They add the stuff we call "bloat" that are the apps they have.. like T-mobile and AT&T. So it's just LG beeing late and prioriticing the wrong region of the phone. Europe open is supposed to be the "2nd" in line for updates, but for the first time.. carriers have been prioriticed.
[G2 General] Hid3rs:
Not exactly, it's D80210B, the one I mentioned was D80210F, which is newer than the 10B.
[G2 General] kapybarus:
Guys I´m not even surprised the international version of kitkat is not released yet.

Just imagine some mean LG worker who doesn ´t want to push button with new android and singing life is good and gooooood moooooorniiing.

[G2 General] magoooood:
Do you recommend for me to download the JB file NOW and flash, then update to KK through OTA when it shows up? OR wait till the KK ROM is available and flash straight into it?
[G2 General] mistermidas:
And what exactly is all this whining you're doing going to change? Is it going to make the update come any faster? Will it make any future updates come faster? WIll it make your update even greater than everyone else's once it arrives??

Just shutup and be patient, your update will come eventually just like everyone else who's still waiting. All your crying does is irritate people coming to the thread looking for useful information.
[G2 General] Fir3blade:
Which patients do you mean?

What hospital to go to gain some patient friends?

SCNR ;)
[G2 General] monkboy24:
Lmao
[G2 General] Hid3rs:
If I were you, I'd just for a KitKat .kdz (God knows when they want to push the update through OTA). I really hope that SFR will finally release it on Monday. They better not add too many bloat as we can't root 4.4.2 at the moment.
[G2 General] mikkis2k:
We are not crying nor whining. These are facts that used to be true, but it seems that LG hasn't given the Europe Open any love from the start. It havn't had 1 update since release, while other versions have had a few.

This is something LG should learn from and not just not give a damn. They did the same mistake with my old phone, wich was the LG O4X, and yet they keep beeing ****ty at updating the devices they give us customers.. wich give them the money they earn.

Telling ppl to shut up isn't gonna help anyone, if you can't come with anything other than "stop whining, crying,shutup etc" then don't bother to write a comment.

And yes the D802 should've had the update for some time ago, but it seems as for the first time since i've had a phone.. a phone company actually prioriticed US carriers rather then the biggest market wich is the "europe open".

I bought this phone because it was the best looking one, but next time i'll search the forums before buying anything again. Because LG could be great, but they fail drastically.
[G2 General] mistermidas:
Really...you're not crying/whininig? That's EXACTLY what this is man, and nobody cares to see it...so like I said earlier, just shutup and be patient. LG will push your update once its ready, end of story.
[G2 General] NightM@re:
Enough with the KK tragedy , guys is KK getting you something like free phone calls ? free data package ?

i just bought the phone 3 days ago and even if it never get updated i'd still love it

bottom line , there is no bugs that KK will fix . Yes i know faster UI and blablbabablba but really does it matter ?

if you are dying for kitkat get CM 11 or something and stop attacking LG .
[G2 General] mikkis2k:
As i said, this is not whining nor crying. If you don't know the difference i'm sorry to tell you.. theres not much hope for you.

anyway, as i said.. the update has been ready for quite some time. It's just LG beeing slow :)

and telling ppl to shutup won't work.
[G2 General] mistermidas:
Whatever you say dude. What I know for certain is what you're doing, what change anything...that's all I have left to say about it.
[G2 General] mikkis2k:
I'ts the thing about updates.. beeing up to date is allways a good thing:)

So you rather want a crappy kitkat rom than a stock kitkat rom that is made for our device? that makes no sense:/ CM was great, but on this phone the stock rom has allways been better.

Sadly it doesn't give the stuff you wrote, would be nice but no :P

And you are telling us that we shouldn't blame LG for beeing late and not even care about the phone they made? And that when a customer buys a phone they should be 100% happy with it and not give feedback? :S
[G2 General] abdel12345:
Kkkkkkkiiiiiitttttkaaaaaattttttt :eek:

That's better. I just had to let the rage out. :D
[G2 General] NightM@re:
well , if you checked the video from LG UK it is faster and what I meant is yes , the support isn't that good but i'd rather wait and have a good update rather get the update first and find out that it's crappy which happened alot to me with samsung

anyway ,maybe we can protest or something send them mass emails :P

guys , don't you see that this is what happens every update since GB ?
[G2 General] mikkis2k:
Sadly thats true.. updates on any phone except a nexus device has been crappy since 2.3.

But the stuff you just wrote isn't true.. but i wish it was.. that waiting longer ment a better update. But as i said.. the update has been ready for some time, it's just LG that is late on pushing it to the public. They have had it ready for atleast 1 month :P

If we are lucky we will have the stuff the koreans have.. but don't have your hopes up. They are also saying "knock code" will come to our device.. but in a "future update" wich means.. if we are lucky we will have kitkat and knock code all together before christmas :)
[G2 General] NightM@re:
well i'm not that expert but maybe you can enlighten me , why would they hold the update for over a month ? there are not announcing another flagship !?
[G2 General] mikkis2k:
They just released a "note" version of the LG G2.. called LG G Pro 2 and a mini version of LG G2 .. that both have 4.4.2 :P
[G2 General] NightM@re:
LG G2 mini maybe is fine , bit LG G PRO 2 who the heck will buy a phone with such name :P

in that case yes , maybe that's why they are holding that update .
