I didnt say its hardware different. I said that Carriers S/W is different than the international one, and i was talking about ART and how AT&T decided to include it.
[G2 General] vPro97:
Thanks for the clarification. Due to my joy and excitement for the update being rolled out so soon I misread everything. Sorry =/
[G2 General] mhoss48:
No problem man :thumbup:
[G2 General] abdel12345:
Wait the included it or not? I saw posts saying it was disabled? So did you mean they didn't include it:confused:

Did the update roll out for 802? Or what is the AT&T Version?
[G2 General] mikkis2k:
AT&T is rolling out 4.4 as we speak..

Hey mate! No not at all! I am quite happy with the stock LG g2 experience. I did buy it after a lot of research and after 2 years with the Samsung s2. I won't be happy with a half baked effort. And I am not a fan boy as well. I was just contributing my opinion and also the fact that I have read somewhere about early access that oems who are hardware partners get to the sdk and to the OS. In fact, if we look closely, I would say Google is copying many features from LG g2 stock. For example the launcher selection option which came in 4.4 stock but we have with our 4.2.2 LG.

I would just like faster updates.
[G2 General] Sid_dominic56:
That launcher selection option has been in android since Froyo. What are you talking about mate?
[G2 General] bobsie41:
Don't quite get this either. LG completes the rom and hands it to the carrier to add bloatware therefor stock 'un-branded' rom is ready for release when it is handed over so why hasn't it been released to 'un-branded' devices already?

This just smacks of LG doing a deal with ATT giving them exclusive release. I am pleased that it has started to roll out but having a carrier free device, I should have it before any OEM release.
[G2 General] Sid_dominic56:
LG Should take it up their a**, I am done with LG, G2 will be my first and last LG phone as they even officially declare that they won't gurantee any further updates. When they said G2 will get update in december it got delayed till march, imagine what will happen now when they don't even want to gurantee any future updates.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/LG-refuses-to-get-pinned-down-to-guaranteeing-Android-updates_id52972
[G2 General] ndnesh:
Thanks for backing me up! All I wanted to say is that LG is slow with their updates, and just because we know LG is slow doesn't mean we have to put down other manufacturers who are getting the update out faster. (whatever the state of the updates may be). I believe that the competition is getting intense, and we, as buyers of flagship devices which have premium pricing, have certain expectations regarding the same. I also believe that it will become more about these cohesive software experience that we seem to be getting from the custom skins of the manufacturers baked on top of the latest android version to change the game.

Yay! Finally some love for D802! Looking forward to this!
[G2 General] bobsie41:
It actually says that it will only guarantee updates for their top end handsets which the G2 is. ;)
[G2 General] SuperSport:
It's still the best Android on the Market currently. And it's OLD now.
[G2 General] Sid_dominic56:
My bad, but still don't trust them man.
[G2 General] Simonna:
Well, if it's true it's really shame on LG that they won't develop any further updates for LG G2,because it's quite new device yet, and it's seems like that LG like Samsung cares only about the newest device and forgets about the older ones.So that's why there are custom roms,or LG Nexus which is awesome and that's why more and more people choose it.
[G2 General] Sid_dominic56:
Are you kidding me? its old you say? It released just 4 months ago.
[G2 General] Xenovias:
Who? LG? Or Untrustworthy source?
[G2 General] Invicta:
6 months in the electronics world is old indeed, sucks i know.

But wth, if LG cannot push updates how can they compete with others who do? are they crazy?
[G2 General] Sid_dominic56:
Source is right, but I read wrong. They promise updates for G series. :)
[G2 General] noppoer2:
I think the d802 is close... very close... and i think you can select art by a command or something. The devs need to find that out
[G2 General] Sid_dominic56:
Yeah man, one of the reasons why I didn't get HTC was because they were terrible at updates before, when I had Desire HD they annouced they will release ICS for it but then later cancelled it. I decided not to buy any HTC device after that but since HTC ONE they have been the fastest for updates.
[G2 General] votinh:
Still whining for late update, LOL :D

As an AT&T G2 owner, I got the update message but still waiting to see how disappoint AT&T owners are after using KK. hehehehe
[G2 General] android404:
By continously selling better phones running better stock than any competitor? Nobody in his right mind gives damn about whether or not a phone gets updated a year from it's release.
[G2 General] muppetmaster916:
Idk about other att users but I'm not as excited for KK itself as I am for the bump in development and roms we should see based on it
[G2 General] android404:
And by "since HTC one" you mean "with the once" because that's their newest phone and almost a year old?
[G2 General] IamPro:
I just hope you AT&T Dev owners port 4.4 to VZN, I beg you :fingers-crossed:

[G2 General] Invicta:
better stock? i disagree, the better stock atm belongs to HTC one. SOrry but its miles better than lg' stock anime-appearance inconsistent menu. And a huge proportion of users do give a damn about updates, look where HTC is now, they used to not give a damn about updates.
[G2 General] hamad138:
How can att be faster than

[G2 General] mikkis2k:
can't agree. HTC is ugly, and the UI is crap :/
[G2 General] IamPro:
AT&T bundle of monies :laugh:
[G2 General] android404:
And then they started advertising their products. Got nothing to do with . Nobody ever ask a phone salesman "will this phone get un update in a timely manner when there is a new Android version a year from now?".

Believe it or not, this thread's (or forum's) desire to get kitkat as soon as possible is absolutely insignificant for htcs sales .
[G2 General] Sid_dominic56:
You're the first person I've seen who is saying so, I love my G2 but I will have to say I really admire HTC Sense. It has always been better than any other android ui since Sense 2.
[G2 General] ChrisM75:
Depends I guess on At&ts customisations. If its apps and services already work fine with KK then its a very simple matter for them to add them in and release it. Some phones are easier to customise than others, so far ive seen that the G2 gets minor updates very quickly on most networks.

The International version, even on a per country basis, has to work with every network in that country. If anything it takes more testing than it does for one carrier.
[G2 General] mikkis2k:
plastic fantastic.. heard this before? same goes with the sense crap. bloated crap with shiny **** thats not even usefull :p

id even take lagwiz over that xD and stock.

Take the HTC One design.. where is this nice? Google Blackberry 10 and iphone 5. combine them and.. what do you know.. it's HTC One .. Sorry but HTC hasn't made a nice looking phone for a while. I liked the DNA though, but LG and Sony makes the most attractive phones imo. Take note.. this is my point of view.. :P The world is different.. thank g.. for that.

[G2 General] abdel12345:
Actually I think Sony has the best one so far. It's clean smooth and just the right amount of features. Motorola is alright too But too close to stock
[G2 General] builtboosted:
OK I'm updated. What files do you guys need and how do I copy and share them.
[G2 General] muppetmaster916:
Agreed, Sony's ui is nice, I've actually run the xperia launcher on this phone because I like it so much, can't believe this update won't pull for me lol I'm pissed I wiped my phone and now it's not there
[G2 General] Sid_dominic56:
What are you taking about? HTC ONE is the best looking android phone ever, like that you can say about anything. LG took samsung's design and moved the buttons to the back. Even if I own an LG phone I try to keep an open mind towads all other phones as well, if something is nice about another phone I appreciate it. By the way compare any of the last 10 htc phones to all current flagships, you will know the premium quality of their products. Even their mid range phones look better than S4.
[G2 General] abdel12345:
We're getting off topic again:p

But that's a matter of opinion. I agree the HTC one is nice but the one x before it felt like crap to me. The newer line ups after the one are sweet though I agree. Studio far I think Sony has got it right except for the large bezels. If they could shrink that down I'd think,they'd have the most premium and best looking phone. They already have great build quality. The drop test didn't even crack it. Just minor scuffs while most other phones break
[G2 General] ChrisM75:
Taste in design is a matter of opinion, he cant help having bad taste. :silly:
[G2 General] SuperSport:
Did you download through your Phone, or PC?

My statement was partially a joke, but partially true. 4 months old in Electronics is like Dog Years... They are already releasing new flagship phones.

[G2 General] mikkis2k:
Theres no premium quality.. i'm so tired of HTC owners trying to make it look like a "iphone" scheme. I'ts not made out of plastic.. so that means quality? No. It has beats? And..? I noticed 0 difference from my good old HTC Sensation and the new HTC One. And dude.. don't compare phones to the crappy S4.. thats like comparing a note 3 and a s3.

And i do know some parts in LGs UI is taken from samsung, but guess what? I'ts done correctly. And Sony have an even better UI than my LG G2, and HTC Sensation.

i have an open mind, but crappy design in both UI and Looks.. gives it a NONO in my book :) And sorry for off-topic. Back on.topic. Just had to say what i thought of the horrible HTC One. And btw.. my GF has it and she wants mine xD does that tell you anything?.

time to take a break, KK is here.

true root will be lost as bootloader is fixed for lokification
[G2 General] ArcaneDroid:
It's running amazing for me lol
[G2 General] garyd9:
loki is for bypassing the bootloader security, not for rooting.

Also, It actually should be fairly trivial to run a newer firmware with the older bootloader. How? Well, assuming you have root on the newer firmware:

Allow the phone to update to the newer firmware. Root the device and then back up the partitions directly. (Likely, the system and boot(kernel) partitions are the only ones needed.) Then use the "restore to stock" mechanism to get back to the original bootloader/firmware. Root that, and restore the backed up system (and possibly kernel) partition. The one issue might be that you have to use loki on the kernel (or it will attempt to authenticate with a mismatched bootloader.)

Hi guys, im a little confused, i have a lg g2 d802 international and rooted but i haven't installed a custom recovery or a custom rom, just rooted. My question is, do i need to unroot my phone to update to official kitkat, can i brick mi phone updating it when it is rooted? Or what could happen? Sorry for my english
[G2 General] kewkie:
I think its better to unroot, i read that many guys have had problem with root (on other phones)
[G2 General] fernandodx15:
So unrooting can be the solution? I have also read that if you have uninstalled the apps that come preinstalled it wont update, is this true?:confused:
[G2 General] kewkie:
uhm, dont really know, sorry.

I'm flashing a kdz now to have a 100% stock and will look if theres an OTA for D802 already :D I really want it and i want to be on the safer way :)
[G2 General] Arak0n:
There isn't, I checked.
[G2 General] Xenovias:
I still own G Pro, in terms of performance and stability there is no difference.

The difference 4.1 and 4.2 LG is lot of tweak of software.

As long as my G Pro will get kit kat, even skip 4.2 and 4.3, i can live with it.
[G2 General] InfinitiGuy:
I'm surprised by the amount of whining I'm reading here in this thread. Relax people, the official 4.4 will eventually come out. If you feel you really need 4.4 to feel better about yourselves, there are ROM alternatives available.

Geez, First world problems.

[MENTION=256277]mobiles[/MENTION]yrup: LG Canada says Android 4.4 update for G2 coming 'late Q1, 2014' http://t.co/3ijh3GnHeT

Shared via TweetCaster
[G2 General] Lockett:
You also have to keep in mind too that its not just a matter of waiting on LG, but waiting on carriers as well especially Verizon. Once 4.4 is ready from LG it must then go to the carriers for testing and addition of their bloatware to make sure it meets their standards. This happened with the VZW Gnex which is why it was always a version or two behind the GSM variants.
[G2 General] lch920619x:
proof is Korean version of G2 already has fully working 4.4 beta build. If they don't have the code before launch, no way they can implement their bloat and get things to work under 1 month.
[G2 General] jiteshj:
So u mean to say LG was the first to get their hands on Kitkat and they are probably releasing it in March.. Are u kidding me? Got it first and are delivering at the last.. Wow

LG G2
[G2 General] lch920619x:
Since Korean version is almost done,. I don't see the reason why international version need 4 month to finish.

So if you ask me, it must have something to do with your nice carriers:p

Afterall the official release date is still unsure, why so tough? They could come sooner than you believe
[G2 General] Xenovias:
LG never make customer to be like beta tester lol

They only release until they sure no bug at the new update.

It's like when i still use LG 4X

JB for 4X actually ready, and good enough to release globally.

But LG decide to still hold, maybe they still check the stability.

That's why 4X user trying to download from LG internal server. And succeed.

The result is, the rom is good and stable lol
[G2 General] adrenalin100:
they should fix the problem with the camera in low light conditions and sound quality in speaking dynamic

4.4 is not so important for many .little change
[G2 General] NaveenKumarXDA:
Don't want to offend but you need schooling again.:sly:

How does that count as proof?
[G2 General] lch920619x:
well, not really a proof, better say a clue
[G2 General] fridaycider:
I hope that when they release it they keep the 5 grid launcher and don't go to 4 as the standard kit Kat has.
[G2 General] jiteshj:
So they check the stability of rom for a year? They have fixed the camera in korean variant so why not give an update for other variants? 3-4 months for camera stability?

Man i dont understand u guys... Plz give some genuine reasons that are acceptable to hear
