Figured i would start this thread seeing as the Verizon has its own now. This way all of the sprint rumors, speculation and or whatever involving the 4.4 update can be put here. This way we are not digging through so many pages to find a few that relate to the sprint variant.
[Sprint LG G2] Koopa777:
It's weird, Sprint is usually super quick at updates, if not first. Oh well, I think it will be soon, I can feel it.

First of all thanks for starting this second if any one intetested i read an article on Tuesday see link http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/03/04/lg-g2-android-4-4-update-expect/ the writer forgot to mention sprint and got so flamed he had to edit it and add us in read artical then see the comments at end

sent from my lg-ls980 there are many like it but this one is mine
[Sprint LG G2] Trina9:
From the same site. I saw this also reported on a couple other sites too but don't have the links. I'm betting Sprint is going to hold it but have no clue why. Maybe to push GS5 sales, but I have no clue why someone would want that phone.

I'd say until Flex has 4.4 on Sprint you can forget about it.
[Sprint LG G2] eddro22:
Theres no difference. Other than display
[Sprint LG G2] tvsamson:
If I have root and have uninstalled a few system apps, can I take the OTA when it comes out?
[Sprint LG G2] eddro22:
Dont think so heard there were major differences
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
What's this opinion based on?
[Sprint LG G2] Koopa777:
They better not. If they hold the update until May I'll pay the ETF and leave them on the spot. :p
[Sprint LG G2] wcr84:
Considering they are just now rolling in. My buddy bought one this week and the sales guys was pressing him and another guy hard to buy that phone. The whole idea around note competition to. I'm just saying if I was head of LG I'd put 4.4 on my newest model first only because your newest version is sadly running 4.2.2
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
LG has already given KK to Sprint. They've been testing it for a while now. It's up to them to finalize and Ok it now. The Flex has been out on Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T for a month and 2 of them have updated the G2.
[Sprint LG G2] wcr84:
I haven't even had thus phone a month and I'm not feeling keen on the update interval. 4.2 really LG?
[Sprint LG G2] Koopa777:
In LG's defense, when KitKat released in November, some variant's of the m7(HTC One) were still on 4.1.2. LG would have been stupid to update 4.3, it would have been a flagrant waste of money. LG knew in August of the existence of Kitkat(because PDK, and Nexus 5), so they just focused on delivering KitKat, and skipping 4.3. Hell, the Note 10.1 is skipping 4.2 AND 4.3, and going straight to KitKat.
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
Then you should have gotten a Nexus.
[Sprint LG G2] Ind3lible:
Also wasn't sprint the last carrier to get the LG G2? :eek: so maybe that's why we are last this time just saying o.o
[Sprint LG G2] dps33:
My gf has S4 and got KK last night. So may be we are next.
[Sprint LG G2] Robisgnarly:
I would have but at the time couldnt shell out the cash for the 32gb. 16 just isnt enough for me and honestly 32 sometimes becomes pretty close to cutting it.

from what i am seeing and hearing, No. you will have to .tot back to stock in order to take ota. or if those apps were backed up in titanium you may be able to restore them and take ota. Not sure on the last one though.
[Sprint LG G2] Jawbox:
I suspect part of wait for 4.4 is that Sprint put a lot of resources into the 4.2 Spark Update when they would have been otherwise testing KK, other carriers were able to get more QA time on the new release and Sprint is playing catchup. (Personally, I wish they'd waited for KK to do Spark)
[Sprint LG G2] Trina9:
Really, you cannot wait two months for the update. I'll be upset if everyone else has it before us, went through that with the EVO 3D ICS update.

[Sprint LG G2] nukeman239:
Only Sprint and Verizon are left out for the update, I guess.
[Sprint LG G2] jonapunk:
You know what is funny about this thread everyone on here knows that lg and sprint take along time to get out there software the fact of the matter we will get it when we get it I can't wait for it personally but if software is all I cared about I would have kept my gs4 and not returned it for my lg g2 my gf has the gs4 and got her update two weeks ago and the only major difference I can see that would make my life easier is the integrated print menu and the extended battery life she gets. So let's be happy with the hardware we have and root and throw custom rom if you want the latest software version
[Sprint LG G2] mtg981:
Does she have any bugs with 4.4.2on her gs4?
[Sprint LG G2] jonapunk:
None that she complains about fb was giving her trouble until the most recent update

[Sprint LG G2] Stl Dark Knight:
I think they are trying to use the KitKat update to fix the LTE connection problems that appeared with the Spark Update. Takes forever now for my phone to locate LTE and connect. I have to turn on airplane mode off and on quickly.
[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
Yeah, I have that same issue and nothing, other than what you said about airplane mode seems to fix it. They are implementing a new baseband with the KK update, so hopefully that actually fixes what they messed up with the Spark "upgrade".
[Sprint LG G2] Trina9:
The problems aren't everywhere because I'm not having them and I'm on LTE the grand majority of the time.
[Sprint LG G2] bullet2300:
Having same issue, but also having issues with 3G speeds since the Spark update. I am itching to get the KK update assuming they fix the network issues with it.

My wife has a GS3 and will get much better speeds sitting right next to me. Really frustrating..:crying: I have to do the airplane mode trick all the damned time!
[Sprint LG G2] ceyo14:
For the whiner, this phone at 4.2.2 still has a lot of functionality as is... this is to me the best phone, even in this version. If you want the latest there are a bunch of aosp roms, or teade your phone...
[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
I never said it was everywhere, but they definitely exist. Its 3 people on the last 2 pages alone including me who are talking about them with you being the one person who says he's not having the issue. And the issue only started when the Spark update happened. Because before my LTE basically never dropped and damn near never lost signal.
[Sprint LG G2] Sir Alphonse:
My phone also has bad reception issues. Whenever I'm connected to lte, my bars go down by a lot, almost being nonexistent in certain areas.
[Sprint LG G2] Trina9:
I never had my G2 before the Spark update, so I'm probably not the person to ask.
[Sprint LG G2] mtg981:
I know this won't make a different for everyone but after spark I had data issues. I changed setting from global to lte/cdma. My data connection problem/lag stopped immediately..
[Sprint LG G2] Stl Dark Knight:

Then the Verizon trolls need to go back to their forum.

Knock Code coming to G2 and G Flex in April

http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-knock-code-coming-g2-and-g-flex-april
[Sprint LG G2] Robisgnarly:
might be but i really think it is sprint working on wi-fi calling
[Sprint LG G2] wcr84:
Who knows for sure. You'd think if they was working on implementations that the rdf would be changing. I'd say they are just holding it until all Samsung devices are updated and out of the way.
[Sprint LG G2] wcr84:
By the way. Doesn't Sprint own or at least affiliated with Rogers in Canada? They get there update today
[Sprint LG G2] etd:

Not trying to kill your hope for a release, i want kitkat BAD. I just know how sprint is with there updates. I came from the epic 4g touch (sprint s2) and i remember waiting FOREVER for the jellybean update.

[Sprint LG G2] arehm:
FWIW, I'm here from the E4GT as well and can't believe how nice it is to have a phone where the battery just works all day.

I don't think the delay's are due to Knock On, or anything else, it's just Sprint testing and attempting to get it right. I don't think there is enough new in KK to make things that much better, it's a solid phone as is. That said, I'll update the first day I can.
[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
I seriously hope they arent waiting until April just to add knock code. Now, dont get me wrong, knock code does seem cool and all and I wouldnt mind having it. But I honestly dont care about it, if i have it great....if not...still great. Just gimme KK already lol.
[Sprint LG G2] wcr84:
Just my opinion. But I think some people give Sprint more credit than is due. I think that updates just sitting there ready to go. Probably trying to boost s5 pre orders.
[Sprint LG G2] ksweeley:
Officially confirmed, G2 receiving Knock Code via a "firmware update" sometime in April: http://lgnewsroom.com/newsroom/contents/64423

I wonder if this could mean LG might ask Sprint to delay the release of KitKat for the LS980 so LG can implement Knock Code and they can have Sprint release one firmware update that contains both Knock Code and KitKat.
[Sprint LG G2] wcr84:
Maby Sprint Zone is giving them some issues and hindering 4.4.2 useless.

[Sprint LG G2] wcr84:
Talked with a gentleman from lg tech support earlier. He said the sprint update was ready to roll the same time AT&T and T-Mobile ready. As far as he knew the update has-been ready to push. He said sprint notified then on the 13th that they pushing on the 17th. He said then on the 14th they canceled that for an unknown reason. He said just because they have 4.4 doesn't mean they will release.

---------- Post added at 01:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------

Also said also that the knock code feature would be delivered to flex first then g2 and lg had to put it in. Like he sprint has the update ready to go.
[Sprint LG G2] Stl Dark Knight:
The clock is ticking. Sprint has till the end of the month. We will see what happens. I been with Sprint for years and only been screwed once and that was the Photon 4G, so I told myself never buy Motorola again because that was bs!!

Have faith if you wait it will come. I have never known a phone not to have the same os across the board. But I also didn't pay that much attention to it as I am now lot.
[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
Sh!+ like that just upsets me. I mean, if they have the update...which I already knew they did....tell us. If they are testing the software to make sure it's bug free...tell us. If they have a release date.....guess what...JUST TELL US!! All we really want is to know what's going on and what's the actual holdup. Like the saying goes, information rules the nation. All we wanted is to be informed about what's going on, once we get that we can at least relax a lil bit and hold our horses until the update actually does drop. But knowing they have it, without knowing ANYTHING ELSE....is frustrating.
[Sprint LG G2] wcr84:
Yeah. Apparently they also say as far as Google rules for updating goes is that the manufacturer only has to deliver the update to carrier. Carrier isn't responsible for updating your phone. I'm getting aggravated to. I got this phone over s4 thinking is get kitkat. Jellybean also brings the value down on any trades or sells

---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 AM ----------

Here's what Sprint supervisor said. Sounds legitimate. He said they are trying to fix the radio bands so you can use spark and data while on a phone call before they release the build.

Sprint wasn't just sitting on it though. They moved from ZVB to ZVC after AT&T and T-Mobile rolled out KK. That means they found something that needed attention and required another build.

Sent from my LG G2 on the Now Network
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
That supervisor has no clue what he is talking about. The G2 isn't capable of simultaneous voice and data and never will be as it requires an additional radio that the G2 does not have. It's a hardware limitation not a software one.
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
Yep, go to Sprint forums and see, each rep makes contradictory statements on the same thread sometimes. Only the older Sprint models and iPhones have SVLTE (Simultaneous voice and LTE) as far as I know, which also means they don't have triband, which is a trade off, also SVLTE apparently uses more battery due to keeping both radios active, CDMA for call and LTE for data. Triband phones only switch between the two so you cant have both call and data at the same time, aka Circuit-switched fallback (CSFB). Carriers are still testing VOLTE (Voice over LTE).

heres a link which is more detailed, go to voice call section:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_(telecommunication)

Well with source code for ZVC just released this evening, we will probably get the update in waves starting tomorrow hopefully. No Knock Code I guess.

Verizon still doesn't have its Kit Kat source code released, so at least we aren't last lol. Feel sorry for the big redders, first in phones and last in updates lol.

I'm positive that devs are looking into it. They don't have the resources and staff that LG\Sprint has. I am not a dev by any means, but have cooked some firmwares for myself, and I can attest that sometimes it's not the easiest task.
