You can set the phone to receive the OTA and it's a google search away, I think what he meant by this is that if you searched for the kitkat update it would point you to the "leaked" 24a update and show you how to "take the ota" or install it. Basically if you don't want to wait for it to be officially pushed to your phone, just do a search and install the update that's been leaked. I don't think that he actually meant you could trip or toggle a setting to force your phone to take an OTA before it's even pushed. If you could do that, heck lets skip 4.4.2 and go straight for Android 5.0.... LOL

Ah, that makes sense. ^

I doubt the Nexus 6 will be based off the M8 because there is ready a Google Play edition. Same reason the G2 doesn't have a Google Play edition, because that's the Nexus 5.

sent from my Verizon G2
[Verizon LG G2] Bobby_C:
From what the guy said, 4.4.2 is ready and will be pushed out next week but you can set your phone to get it OTA. Not downloading a rom. The difference between 4.4.2 and 5.0 is that 4.4.2 is staged to be pushed out, 5.0 isn't.

Now, I don't know how accurate that is but it is the conversation I had with the Amazon cell phone guy.
[Verizon LG G2] tacosrdelicioso:
Are you sure 5.0 isn't staged to be pushed?? [emoji13]
[Verizon LG G2] ecsnead69:
Does the leak fix the call echo problems?
[Verizon LG G2] acejavelin:
What call echo problem? Never had an issue with echo on 4.2.2 at all.
[Verizon LG G2] ecsnead69:
Yeah, this OTA is the official 4.4.2, not 4.2.2. And the bug is well know, just Google it. Some people don't have it, but the majority of Verizon AOSP ROMs have it....
[Verizon LG G2] Enter The Nexus:
That's because AOSP was built off of 4.2 source for LG. Now that 4.4.2 had arrived, our problems are fixed.
[Verizon LG G2] ecsnead69:
That's what I was asking, does it fix the call echo? Also, do you guys know on any AOSP ROMs that are built off the leak? I run Vanir and they haven't switched yet. And stock LG is horrid IMO.
[Verizon LG G2] Enter The Nexus:
See this. And look at the thread CM 11 for 4.4.2 OTA there's a fixed CM 11

Thanks, but I just can't get into stock LG.. I may give it a try once I find out if its any trouble going back to 12b baseband
[Verizon LG G2] ECrispy:
The issue with taking the OTA is Verizon/LG might patch the Loki exploit and then you're screwed, no way to go back. That's what happened with the S3 with the 4.3 update that added Knox.

Of course a lot of users, the vast majority, don't care about this and would rather run a stock rom. But if you want to keep your phone open, its better not to accept any OTAs unless more is known.
[Verizon LG G2] eskjc:
Finally been waiting months for this. Thank you
[Verizon LG G2] da_reeseboy:
Not a fan of CM and can't get into stock. So what are you looking for?
[Verizon LG G2] ecsnead69:
I prefer the other AOSP ROMs, namely Vanir. Plus, after reading thru the CM 24a thread, looks like there are lots of bugs.. I'll wait till official Verizon 4.4.2 drops and everybody can get their hands on it...

[Verizon LG G2] Mattecko99:
I just want to know how people get this much screen time..
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
What brightness do you use? I have mine at 30 percent at home and outside on auto and I get 7~8 hours screen time and about 25~30 all together. I'm always on WiFi though and my signal is always strong. I also don't use Bluetooth or GPS. So that might affect it. Stock is also good for battery. Better than aosp usually for now.
[Verizon LG G2] :
With the new g2 I just got, mine dropped a percent about every 20 to 30 mins without a full charge of course I was in doors, but it is reasonable the soc has great battery saving tech and LG has pulled off some magic before on battery. But I'll see once my phone settles with the kernel and hw and software in the next monthly.
[Verizon LG G2] Mattecko99:

Looks like people are seeing some MMS issues on the Verizon builds.
[Verizon LG G2] garywojdan81:
I think that's on some of the roms derived from 24a, not 24a stock. Not the same thing. 24a stock is at least as stable as the JB 12b official build. For me, more so.
[Verizon LG G2] ecsnead69:
I see, thanks
[Verizon LG G2] jonstrong:
I'll second that. I did the "manual install of the OTA" to 24A on my vs980 (Verizon), and it has been 100% rock solid. NO fc's (and I had none onf 12b either for that matter), smooth / fast, quick to charge -- and battery last forever (5 to 6 hours OST, avg 24 hours total life with that much screen use. Also noticed lately that if I'm at home on WiFi and play Reversi, I can play for 3 hours and watch the battery only dip perhaps 10% to 12% - incredible).

In 22 years of using cell phones, and flashing mods and custom ROMs for several years, i can confidently say that stock 24A is the best, smoothest, fastest and most stable ROM I have every used. Adding Xposed (G2 Xposed and G2 Tweaksbox) has not had any negative impact on performance or stability, but let me add in some of the customizations that I might normally need to get from a custom ROM.

This OTA is fantastic for VzW users - highly recommended. So good, in fact, that I hesitate trying custom ROMs until I see some "to die for" features in a ROM that is as stable as 24A stock.
[Verizon LG G2] abdel12345:
I can't believe the ota still hasn't come yet. It's mid April. Marine they're just waiting for 4.4.3 or something to release at once? This worries me that we probably won't get the next major update like 4.5 or 5.0 but hopefully it'll be able to be ported from something like the g pro 2 or g3.

[Verizon LG G2] Poloki:
Anything I have seen about 4.4.3, if I am not mistaken, is that it's pretty much a bug fix for Nexus 5 and that's it. I don't think there were any updates to what is on 4.4.2, otherwise Google would have made an official unveiling.... 4.5 or 5..0 will probably arrive with Google I/O... I am not discounting the possibility that we can get it as the phone is certainly capable.
[Verizon LG G2] TheCleaner:
FYI, the simple "VZW software upgrade assistant" that runs when you plug your phone into your computer now gives you the OTA 4.4.2 update. I got mine today...see my post here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51978999&postcount=165

The following was posted on another thread.

"1. Open device manager.

2. Have your phone set to MTP

3. In device manager you should see mobile devices,

4. Under mobile device it should say LG VS980 etc..

5. Right click it and select uninstall, check the drivers box as well

6. Unplug you phone and plug it back in.

7. You should now be prompted on what you would like to do, select install Verizon software.

The LG mtp cable is not required. I use an after market cable. If does not work you need an after market 5 pin usb cable. Many are only 4 pin."
[Verizon LG G2] marleyinoc:
You can't root of you kdz with that, right?

Guess it's almost time to go back to 12b -- to root and upgrade. Then I guess I'll use the CM unofficial on 24A.

I'm pretty happy with latest nightly on 12b too, though. Heck, most all of the official nightlies have been good to me.

This update is really pissing me the hell off. I can't get the LG/Verizon software Upgrader to recognize my G2. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers a couple times (with multiple PC and phone reboots along the way), I've used 3 different USB cables (including the one that came with the phone), I tried downloading and installing the drivers direct from the LG website, and I'm pretty much out of ideas.. My computer recognizes my phone in every way EXCEPT in the Software Upgrade program. I'm back on 100% stock software, unrooted. I can't for the life of my figure out what is wrong.

Rooted and took ota but error 402

Thought I would except the 4.4.2 OTA just now but when it goes to install, it fails and gives a error 402. Maybe because I'm rooted stock. Not sure but it will reboot back to rooted Jelly Bean with no changes made. It is probably Verizon being weird about us being rooted. Not sure.

[Verizon LG G2] jonstrong:
If you're 100% sure you won't be rooting (or flashing), then the official VzW OTA method should be fine, and you can also rest assured that it and your phone remain 100% covered by VzW should you run into any issues.

I chose to do the "manual install" of the OTA as documented and described by [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] in the thread linked in the OP of this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2699123

As far as anyone has determined, you wind up with the exact same version of KitKat either way. I chose xdabbeb's method, because I had already rooted my G2 (vs980), and although I'm not planning to use custom ROMs at the moment, I wanted to retain root. Finally - the version that [MENTION=2941286]xdabbeb[/MENTION] describes was ready several days before VzW started allowing customers to do an official update to KitKat, and I was impatient!

As many times as I've unlocked, rooted and flashed prior phones, I actually like the stock G2 for the most part. It's fast, smooth and incredibly functional. Rooting it allowed me to install the Xposed Framework, and my favorite module for Xposed, "G2 TweaksBox". Without having to worry about a custom ROM, I get all the benefit of the stock ROM, and then get to tweak navbar, status bar, lock screen and other parts of the system -- and if I change my mind, I can deactivate the module or the entire Xposed Framework, and be 100% stock again after a single reboot. Brilliant!

Back to your question: if you are sure you want a pure stock experience, then the official VzW OTA is the simplest way to go, and you'll get the same KitKat either way.
[Verizon LG G2] mrdunn:
I couldn't update with the OTA, same problem, but the Verizon Upgrade Assistant on the phone, ran it on my windows 8.1 in compatiblity mode since just running it didn't work, put phone into Internet/ethernet mode, and everything worked; took about 20 miinutes.

[Verizon LG G2] 0331:
Verizon will keep saying that, and that they don't know, and it's kept secret from even them, all the way up to release. The S3 got 4.3 a whole month after the other big 3. Even regional prepaid carriers released it before vzw.
[Verizon LG G2] :
It is common for VZW to require additional includes in the SW on all phones. It is also common that they use "additonal" network testing. These are known facts but I'm sure the other carriers have less intensive checks and or software includes and that is why they get them faster. Some of the regional carriers don't require many if any SW includes and just take the update to their device which allows the MFG to just push the update.

S we shall see what is going on soon enough.
[Verizon LG G2] 0331:
My point was simply that Verizon won't talk about OTA's.

---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 AM ----------

However, maybe i am still a little bitter towards them!
[Verizon LG G2] :
It is all " Additional " testing. Which they have a policy to not talk about internal testing. Only internal VZW employees would be able to shade more light on this. Only company that let me know when I would be getting updates was from HTC. Most companies won't talk about OTA's and HTC is more open. But I bet VZW has OTA already and are being normal VZW with the lag.
[Verizon LG G2] ricecake2000:
Yeah I am fine with waiting if they actually released bug free otas. But they always miss something critical or break something. I remember my s3 update which crippled the device to the point they pulled the update and reset everyone back to pre ota. (Yeah great quality checks)
[Verizon LG G2] jrgilbert79:
It's a shame that they will test test test and in the end they aren't competent enough to make changes anyway. It's fairly moot

[Verizon LG G2] garywojdan81:
