There are some serious bugs with KK on the other variants. The stock rom is sweet and I would rather it take a few more weeks and release a solid build.

It'll be OK.
[Verizon LG G2] renawld:
as long as we receive it before the promised date by LG (before Q1 ends) i don't mind when we will get the update.
[Verizon LG G2] juanzr1:
Do yourself a favor and ditch Verizon, unfortunately I'm stuck with the Verizon variant of the g2 using it on T-Mobile and there's not much to miss about Verizon, glad I picked up the nexus 5 for 200$ as a back up, the g2 is probably still the best phone even running on 4.2 . I know all the T-Mobile g2 owners and att owners are loving them some KitKat , damn Verizon, nothing against LG they've made 2 bad ass phones this year
[Verizon LG G2] bonesjones:
In Alabama Verizon is the only decent network.

Att and tmo are terrible. Their 4G is about as fast as verizons 3g...Seriously
[Verizon LG G2] bose301s:
Verizon's network is leaps and bounds better than ATT, Sprint and especially T-Mobile, not worth switching.
[Verizon LG G2] ricecake2000:
Ha to the post about being patient. Last summer (june) I believe. Verizon sent my s3 an ota which crippled the device. It was not able to get any service and constantly overheated. Do you think they lost all the s3 owners? If they did then their quarterly reports sure didn't show it haha.

[Verizon LG G2] Bigralphn:
I really like a point made a few posts (or pages by now ). The number of root users is so small compared to the number of users like most if us that all our griping and complaining does nothing. I has already decided when I got this phone that my days of rooting were over. I keep checking back for update rumors but truth be told this phone souths fine for me. My wife has one and loves it. She would have no clue even when it updates. I have stopped hacking because I have found that any phone with locked bootloaders just isn't worth the hassle. There are always issues with roms, someone's even stock roms, once you do the work around to root. So I sit here hoping fit an update like all of you. Of course most users could care less.

And I never saw an official promise of Q1 like stated above. I think those that expect that are going to greatly disappointed. To my knowledge there was never an official statement to that effect only website rumours from unnamed sources. I hope we do get it but based on the fact that others just got theres and Verizon tends to lag behind by a month or more on updates, I expect the end of Q2 may be more realistic. Let's hope I am dead wrong.
[Verizon LG G2] fhblake04:
If VZW doesnt push a OTA KK update by the time the S5 comes out, I will be dumping the G2. I'm so tired of the software glitches on this device, that I may leave anyways.

Large text message threads not deleting.

Recents not functioning properly.

Random keyboard force closes.

Keyboard not opening properly on the FB app.

App drawer not drawing properly sometimes

Copying text in chrome getting some force close and the phone won't vibrate until restart.

Group text not allowimg me to delete it ultimately leading me to factory data reset.

Rant over, lol.
[Verizon LG G2] rfarrah:
Absolutely. If you think differently, more power to you. Good bye and good luck. In any case stop whining about it here.
[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
Your phone sucks. I have none of those issues. In fact I have no issues
[Verizon LG G2] garywojdan81:
Me neither. The only issues I've had have been ones that I've caused by being too flash-Happy.
[Verizon LG G2] ricecake2000:
I have random issues with the sensor and the stop in vibration that occurs when some LG thing force closes.

Also been having random tests showing up late or in the wrong order and calls never appearing. (I think the last is mostly Verizon's fault and one of the reasons I'll probably switch next month)

I was hoping to see if they were going to fix any of the quirks with this phone.

For awhile I've been tired if seeing this, but I've realized there's no way in hell I'm going to install it right away when it's available anyhow. So I guess I can still wait awhile. :o
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
I'm actually considering flashing paranoid android but I know I'll come back to stock... still that new peak feature is looking nice.
[Verizon LG G2] mrgoodpaul:
To be completely fair, that is a Samsung device. Because of Google's association with Motorola and their working side by side, Samsung was moving further and further away from android. Their flagship device, the s4, lags so terribly because of the extreme over theming of the touchwiz software that they use. You can never compare a Samsung device to an LG because they have different software. LG works closely with android to provide a smooth experience and Samsung works against it to create some stupid experience.

Samsung pushed carriers to come out with the ota in order to keep up with the current android software. LG wants things done right and things have been mostly done right.

---------- Post added at 03:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:34 AM ----------

All of you people with the software issues, I would suggest using the LG update program to reinstall 12B. I was having a few issues myself but that seemed to solve my problem. You don't lose any personal information or settings, it just reinstalls the software. The recent bug is still a thing but 90% of the fc issues were fixed
[Verizon LG G2] John Cantrell:
It would be nice if Verizon could be more timely with their updates, Yes the phone manufacturer makes the initial software and usually releases it to all carriers at the same time. The carriers are then responsible to BLOAT it up and test before release. It appears that some carriers may not test it before release, ie. some may bloat then release without testing. IF Verizon really waits to see what glitches and bugs there are and fixes them before release - then I say great, I can wait for a more stable build. If they release it with all the same bugs, then it's shame on them for making everyone wait only to release the same problems. I believe they may have sent it back to have the bugs removed, after all who wants to install a major update only to have to install "maintenance" updates to correct issues?
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
Does anyone on here have an issue with the screen when out in the sun? Even on full brightness I see shiny lines going down the screen. Not sure if that's normal. With indoor light it doesn't happen only sunlight. If that's not normal I want to get the warranty because it's really annoying trying to use my phone outside on sunny days. I didn't notice before because it's been so cloudy and snowy this long winter but recently this week I've seen this happen.

I know this Is off topic but since everyone here has the vs980 version it'll be easier to see if others have the same issue. Thanks
[Verizon LG G2] Rodeojones:
I, too, have noticed this when viewing my phone on especially sunny days. Maybe it is a defect, but I'm not sure. I just assumed the sun was resulting in me seeing "through" my screen (not literally, but I hope you get my point). Additionally, I only notice it when viewing the screen at a slight angle on said sunny days. But now that you mention it I'd also like to know if it's a hardware problem that warrants getting a replacement.

Regarding the topic of this thread, getting KitKat soon (or ever) just isn't important to me - and this is not the attitude I had with previous devices. I won't be accepting an OTA anyway because I'm rooted with TWRP and do not want to lose that. If anything I'll wait for a rooted stock ROM like I did with the 12B update. And if root and/or custom recovery is never possible with 4.4.2 I'll be 100% content to stick with my current setup - it simply works and Xposed modules have made it exactly the way I want.
[Verizon LG G2] Rippley05:
Unfortunately, I was late to the G2. My phone has 12B pre-installed. Does anyone know if there is a working root/custom recovery for this version?

I would like to see some of the changes Kit Kat brings, but not the bugs. Verizon is apparently painfully slow...hopefully it'll be worth the wait.

Im waiting for the update so that the issues most people are having can be resolved by having a verizon 4.4 source the devs can pull from. Ive been patient though i just hope it comes out before these next generation of phones hit.
[Verizon LG G2] player911:
Yea the kernel is what everyone needs. Not that the devs couldn't port it from other variants or N5, but it would be a waste of time since Verizon is likely to release it at any time.

LG would be smart to force the update before the Galaxy 5 (G2 vs G5) hits stores. LG seems to be really trying to combat the G5s release.

Maybe it's Samsung that threw money at Verizon to keep the update back until the release of G5.
[Verizon LG G2] marleyinoc:
I really think CDMA is the culprit. Someone needs to write same code that lg wrote to handle panics when CDMA can't pass to LTE and vice versa.

Best network ever. On taxpayer dime. CDMA everywhere!

Edit: someone with Qualcomm source for CDMA crappiness. Though black helicopters would probably visit if you screw with CDMA.

--VS980
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
But the nexus 5 works on Sprint and any gsm network out off the box and all the beds 5s git the same update no Mater the carrier. So why dues cdma have trouble with the g2?

[Verizon LG G2] RandomGuy982:
Can somebody else check the lg mobile support tool to see if it will let you download the update? Mine keeps crashing after it says there is a software update!
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:

[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
I'm trying to connect to pc suite but there's no pc suite usb connection option on this phone. It feels me to put it in that mode But I don't see it. I'm guessing verizon removed it.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
When I checked status this cane up. Dies that mean it tried updating and failed

I also got something saying unable to install this update when checking for a new one. Does that mean I need a verizon SIM to update because I don't have one. I'm using lycamobile.
[Verizon LG G2] RandomGuy982:
I'm not sure. On lg tool it connects to the phone, shows the correct firmware, then recognizes the VS980 4G, says software upgrade available, then it says this program has stopped working.
[Verizon LG G2] rfarrah:
FWIW: My phone says "No Update Available".

When I try to use LG's Mobile tool, and "Install USB Driver" our model phone isn't listed as an option.
[Verizon LG G2] sgtflick:
They might still be getting the update ready. To my knowledge, they don't "release" the update until Noonish, that's if it is actually coming out today.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
Same here but ota appears what my screenshot says. Unable to download update. It used to say no update available or something like that. Maybe it's coming soon then.

At least we know they are working on it!
[Verizon LG G2] sgtflick:
They probably uploaded it to the servers and then hid it, that's typically what happens. I'm thinking we'll see it pop up on Friday around noonish, maybe earlier.
[Verizon LG G2] player911:
Yea 12B was released on a Friday. I remember because I was driving 6 hours when I look down and it rebooted. Having a custom recovery obviously meant I started bootlooping. I was about 2 hours away from my destination with no GPS or Cellphone. I was lucky enough to have a laptop with 15minutes worth of battery and a Sprint 4G Modem that worked long enough to grab maps off of Google.

Hope its this week. That would be awesome.
[Verizon LG G2] RandomGuy982:
:confused: 12B released back in December for Verizon (Edit: It's monday. My reading comprehension sucks. I thought you said it released last friday. D'oh...). This morning was the first time I got a message saying that there was a software upgrade available, but that went away at noon.
[Verizon LG G2] incubus2:
I received an update for the update checker maybe a sign of things to come...we'll see

On a side note a couple of weeks back I had a T-Mobile Rom installed to mess with pc suite and on screen phone the software did a search for update and came back with 12b for vs980
[Verizon LG G2] mrgoodpaul:
What type of update
[Verizon LG G2] ricecake2000:
What is this. "Verizon wireless software upgrade assistant" that the LG tool speaks of?

And now to think about it more. Since it was only up for a short time doesn't that indicate that they are just now doing a soak test? Or maybe it was being tested to see if it would be able to get downloaded?

I'm hoping for the second thought because if they are just now starting a soak test then we have about 2~3 more weeks till ota

The guys at Verizon are looking at this forum and laughing their assets off right now.

You run the installer and it will install the program which basically checks for updates when you plug your phone in via USB

Yeah since there is no ART or tap and pay I am a little peeved. Mainly because Google lets our just be stripped away. What's the point of saying how awesome those features are back in October/ November?

I mean at least leave art. How many people actually know you need to hit build number in settings 10times to get to it? The average consumer barely knows there is a camera lockscreen widget.
[Verizon LG G2] iambigsteveo:
What I am most concerned about is being rooted and installing KK, will I have to flash and remove data essentially wiping the phone or can it just update, overwriting the core os files. also, the little things i've installed like the G2 Xposed app and how that's configured some things, will I lose that stuff I've changed? And the xdabbeb camera app..

So many questions...hmm.....:confused:

[Verizon LG G2] Fastbird:
This is exactly what I'm wondering myself as I think from the sounds of it you and I have nearly the same setup. Stock rooted, G2 Xposed, other things, debloated, etc.

Will installing the OTA upon it's release cause issues as in wipe of the phone, breaking of root, etc?
[Verizon LG G2] incubus2:
I'd let the dust settle before taking OTA... Lessons learned from the past just MHO
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
If you have removed system apps you'll probably get a bootloop. Taking the ota. So it's best to return to stock before taking it. Exposed will need to be uninstalled but root is fine though you'll probably lose it with the update
[Verizon LG G2] acejavelin:
This... Definitely... Give it at least a few days to make sure something doesn't get borked hard.
[Verizon LG G2] jrgilbert79:
If you guys want root and recovery do not take an ota or you will have to lg flask back. Read the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2667227 it's happening on other carriers but we have be patient when they release KK
[Verizon LG G2] Dick Ripple:
The guy above is correct. If you have root and custom recovery do not update. Once the Verizon kernel source is released the devs will have working stock based kitkat roms. Hopefully the kernel source will help fix issues on aosp based roms as well.
[Verizon LG G2] incubus2:
Has anyone got to mess around with 4.4 stock? I liked some of the LG stock features on 4.2. I just wasn't a fan after being spoiled by KK previously. Just curious about LGs implementation with 4.4. Let's go Big Red.... Get your s*** together.
[Verizon LG G2] deny_kei:
Hi guys i using the vs 980 and i lived in asia. My lg was root and stock rom. I did not change anything beside root. But some says that i cannot do ota because i am not living in us. Its that true ? So what shoul i do if the kk update in vs 980. Should i flash the img using kdz. Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.
[Verizon LG G2] minnysota:
What is the general feeling on kernel source helping aosp roms? Sounds like they are pretty stable right now from what I've read, but it would be nice if they were on par with stock LG.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
You won't get the ota unless you remove your SIM I think because it doesn't let you check for an update unless you have w verizon SIM or none at all. Best thing would be to just flash the kdz once it comes out
[Verizon LG G2] jrgilbert79:
It would be best to get recovery installed like TWRP 2.6.3.3 and wait until VS980 KK and Kernel source is released then you can flash a KK ROM from LG and be able to update that per the dev whenever they update the ROM you are using. I'm praying Jake Day will grace us with Malladus as soon as Sovanca can give us a modified VS980 KK kernel.
[Verizon LG G2] Bobaroo:
All I want is Tap-To-Pay with Google Wallet. HTC One and MotoX on Verizon has it, no reason the G2 shouldn't
[Verizon LG G2] IamPro:
Yup, thats what its looking like.. so glad they found a way to get recovery on KK, now just need kernel and hopefully an awesome Dev :fingers-crossed:
