According to me LG G2 will be updated by May 2016 just taking approximation on basis of lollipop update.
[G2 General] mwedo:
Both KK and LP were in April (LP on April 2nd for D802) but May is also fine in my book even though I highly doubt it. May '16 will be almost three full years for G2.
[G2 General] raptorddd:
i wouldnt mind the wait. if its true.. i wonder if by that time new version should be on the works..
[G2 General] Akopps:
Did anyone else see this news?

I got that update today too :)

I think its an preparation update for 5.1.1 or Marshmallow (which would be awesome, lets hope it will be)
[G2 General] JasonTo:
I honestly think this is just a stagefright patch, but we can always hope!

I'm in the UK and the update hasn't showed up for me yet..
[G2 General] jl10101:
It's a Stagefright patch - the Stagefright patch available here on XDA is 17mb zipped, this is just above that. Been doing the rounds on Google +
[G2 General] OT-Xtreme:
in what version you have gotten it? Europe 30b? something else?
[G2 General] enki1993:
Yes. EU D802 32GB
[G2 General] Barracuda79:

Be sure to be on wifi, and go check for updates manually, as soon as i did it, i got the update

Done that, but nothing. Probably slow roll out
[G2 General] wetbiker7:
I'm on Sprint LS980. I had to tot back to ZVE, then let the phone update all the way to the latest (ZVH).

I was on ZVG, rooted with TRWP . Tried using AutoRec to flash the stock recovery and then using option in SU to fully unroot. No dice on the update. Using the tot method was the only way. On the bright side, the same method I used to root with ZVG worked with ZVH. Right now I'm rooted, running TWRP, and have the hotspot mod. :good:
[G2 General] Lostlam:
Received the update today (UK).
[G2 General] OT-Xtreme:
what update

[G2 General] wulsic:
It would be rather awesome if we could get android M as it's focused on improving the fore functions. It would be awesome if we could get ux4.0 and advanced camera. Else we will always get a fully working custom M rom and N. What would N stand for?

I'm still on KK because LP 5.02 is too buggy... It's a great news to see 5.1.1 is coming for our G2 :')
[G2 General] doncoop:
What you have to remember is android m is only at preview stage. They'd be foolish working on a variant now while the code is changing...

So they'd have to wait for a final commit from Google, then take and develop. I would hazard that taking at least another 12 months.

Which means they are upgrading a device over 4 years old.

Never gonna happen! Imo anyway.

5.1.1 is a solid bump for the g2, I'll be glad if it comes.
[G2 General] src151:
They are doing 5.1.1 because Lollipop is the last major update for this phone (I'm pretty sure), so they are trying to polish it as much as possible. Android M will come after 2 years since launch, so don't wait for it (target is G3 and G4). I think it's fair from LG for LG G2 users and still better than leave it on 5.0.2.
[G2 General] iko11:
Big smartphone manufacturers seem like care about the opinions of their users actually they don't. But that doesn't mean we convinced with it. 5.1.1 is not a gift for us, it's obvious 5.0.2 has some bugs and they are responsible fixing this by releasing 5.1.1. The place of G2 in market still competitive with it's powerful hardware. It deserve Android M too, we deserve :)
[G2 General] George Jetson:
Unnecessary info:

Until today, just one lg phone took fourth time os upgrade(v10x to v40x). This phone is lg optimus vu f100l.
[G2 General] iko11:
I believe the only reason for that it has made for South Korea
[G2 General] wq0913562:
Of course 5.1.1 would be better than nothing and would definitely be appreciated.

But if you consider how long it took LG to release 5.0.2 for the D802 then it might be quite likely that it also (unfortunately) will take them quite long to release 5.1.1.

And by that time Android M might already have been released. So why not go for Android M directly instead of releasing an update which will already be outdated when it is being released?

The LG G2 still is such a modern and powerful device.

It might be almost two years "old", but it's way better than a lot of other current devices. Look at all those Snapdragon 410 smartphones which are coming out lately and which mostly only have 1 GB RAM. The LG G2 with it's Snapdragon 800 and it's 2 GB RAM easily runs circles around them.

Let's face it, the G2 doesn't even have to hide from a G3 or G4. It still is easily competitive.

Seeing a Moto G get Android M while the G2 is being left out only because of this two-year-update-cycle BS would be ridiculous.

There is absolutely no excuse why the G2 could not get Android M, at least from a hardware perspective.

As well as from any other perspective...

In this day and age where IT security is so important, it simply is not funny when devices are left alone with outdated operating systems which do not get security updates...

So, let's hope that LG will provide Android M and many updates beyond that for the LG G2.

It should be the norm, not the exception.
[G2 General] 350Rocket:
That would be nice. But I don't think it would happen unless we went on strike and didn't buy any new devices until they changed their policy. Since the majority of customers don't care about software updates I think we are sol. Lg doesn't care whether the phone can handle it or not. They don't want to spend the money updating devices. Apple has less devices to update and makes way more money from each of them so cost of updating probably isnt a concern to them as much as security is.
[G2 General] src151:
Update to 5.0.2 and to 5.1.1 is I think different situation. It's not comparable in many ways. 5.0.2 took so long because they made one crucial mistake at the beginning of development. They started with 5.0.1 version (this one without lollipop software buttons) and changed it to the 5.0.2 too late. Development of every Android version, even though there is 0.0.1 version diff lasts at least 3 months with testing.

Btw most likely this is the reason why we didn't get 4.4.2 to 4.4.3/4.4.4 for example.

Moreover there was still some bugs in initial 30A version so another month for 30B was necessary.

All in all it took more than 6 months from first reports that Lollipop is coming. Plus Lollipop itself is relatively huge update from Kitkat.

5.0.2 to 5.1.1 is not such a big deal (but still at least 3 months of development). It's still Lollipop, mostly with bug fixes.

"The LG G2 still is such a modern and powerful device.

There is absolutely no excuse why the G2 could not get Android M, at least from a hardware perspective."

- yeah I agree with you, but you know how it works. Reality is that G2 will be outdated no matter how good hardware is. LG's strategy with G2 is becoming clearer with this "leaked" information about the update. Next major Android is extremely unlikely.

- yeah I know about Moto G, but Motorola is not LG/Samsung. Moreover I think that Google itself owns Motorola is some way, so it's a little bit different.
[G2 General] wq0913562:
That is no excuse either.

Instead of baking their own spins of Android (i.e. LG UX, Samsung TouchWiz, HTC Sence and so on...), the manufacturers could simply resort to vanilla Android.

If they wouldn't use those overbloated manufacturer specific versions of Android and instead all would use the vanilla Android, updating their devices would probably not be as much of an effort.

So, LG, if you are reading this:

I would be totally fine if you would give me a vanilla Android for my LG G2. You don't have to put all this manpower into customizing Android. I'm fine with the vanilla version.

I bought the LG G2 for the LG hardware design (buttons on the back, thin bezel, nice screen and screen size, powerful hardware, big battery, fast charge, knock on/off, IR blaster).

And not for the LG software design (your customized OS). I actually would prefer if you would not customize the OS.

Vanilla Android (incl. knock on/off feature and incl. camera drivers) would be much better.

And if that would result in faster updates, even better.

Motorola can do it. Why can't you?

Thanks.

Regards
[G2 General] monkeytown:
this will hopefully never happen :rolleyes:

stock android looks so ugly and unfinished
[G2 General] wyelkins:
If you want stock then root, install custom recovery and flash some Roms. Probably never 100 percent perfect but it will be the newest thing.

I did that on my old S3. But I am pretty happy with the G2 as is. The update is just gravy that I did not expect.
[G2 General] tritime:
this would be splendid news, but given the speed at which the first lollipop release came in, i am not getting my hopes up just yet, or before spring '16 even :(
[G2 General] kopter36:
Seriously dude..? Why wont you just flash CyanogenMod? That is closest to vanilla android that we can get.. You asking manufacturer to provide rom like that is seriously nonsense.. LG isnt Google. Their software engineering division arent going to provide update just to fix bug on every major android update..

Furthermore, LG G2 is outdated device nowaday.. Me myself is using it.. It might still "powerful" but it is actually outdated device.. Current gen CPU support 64-bit while SD800 is just 32-bit.. DDR3 Ram in our phone arent going to compare with DDR4 in latest SoC.. Adreno 330..? Uhh lets just say Asus Zenfone 2 at 1.8Ghz is exactly as powerful as this LG G2 at 2.26Ghz in term of performance.. And keep in mind that phone uses Intel SoC which isnt fully optimized with android yet..

And remember, Google mostly update their Android version mostly to provide support for latest hardware, not enhance older hardware.. Still remember when Android Lollipop release, many of us were dissapointed to find out that CameraApiV2 isnt supported by our devices while Nexus 5 got it? Well that is the difference between those 2 giant companies.. Just be reasonable dude..
[G2 General] wq0913562:
CyanogenMod does not provide Android 5.1.x either. There is no official CyanogenMod 12.1 release for the LG G2. Not even a Nightly.

And rooting a phone and downgrading it to a bootloader which is vulnerable to Loki and/or Bump does not necessarily increase IT security...

No, it's not.

Nvidia and Motorola are not Google either, yet they still manage to equip their devices with vanilla Android.

And you don't see a flaw in that?

No more questions then...
[G2 General] usama_92:

[G2 General] alecore:
is that stagefright update or something else?
[G2 General] zakk87:
Only starefight for 5.0.2. I think this is the last firmware from LG to G2. They will patching it by small updates. So sad?
[G2 General] raptorddd:
i think so too. no 5.1.1 nor the least M
[G2 General] MachiavelliBs:
I like my G2 and i will use till i can. But my next phone will not be frim Lg because of the updates policy. I mean come on, 5.1 was with the fixes and they need year to push it to the customers? If they check what the users says will be nice.
[G2 General] Masteryates:
I know what you are saying. In many ways I wish lg had left us on 4.4.2 and just patched that every month with the security update. :angel:

5.0.2 has a memory leek so LG should do the right thing by updating us to 5.1.1. I would be happy if LG stopped support then as this phone is getting long in the tooth even though we all know it could easily handle marshmallow.
[G2 General] 4everAnoob:
I am very disappointed. Kitkat worked so amazingly well, I thought lollipop would be fine too. While there aren't any huge problems it just isn't the same perfect experience you got on Kitkat.

On an unrelated note, my G2 has problems going into recovery recently. That is, I press and hold the required keys, and I have about 5% chance it actually goes to recovery and 95% chance it continues booting.

I think the hardware buttons are a bit problematic, but changing the volume or anything else requiring those buttons is not an issue ever. Before I could go into recovery with 90+ % accuracy.
[G2 General] raptorddd:
you need to press power till phone off then press vol down, then power, when lg logo let go of power and press again just keep the vol down press and just release power and press again.

wheres marshmallow or 5.1.1

Clickbait news, g2's image is fake and also the news about g4 update is wrong, LG released the 20A firmware in poland weeks ago...

I still believe that lg Will provide us at least 5.1.1 we'll see

I believe so aswell, but it will certainly not be before 2016...
[G2 General] raptorddd:
yeah i still belive we wont get none.
[G2 General] gonk24:
What is the memory leak in 5.02 for the G2 specifically? I know it's not the ColorFade leak that the Xposed module "Fix Lollipop Memory Leak" takes care of because that doesn't apply to the G2. Any idea what it actually is?
[G2 General] raptorddd:
if am not wrong is that the bootanimation deosnt kill in memory and basically the memory manager doesnt work how it should.. it should release memory but it doesnt and phone lags and hangs cause of memory.. you need to reboot to clear all the memory and it takes days about 2 to get slow again.. or maybe the bootanimation leak was fix not sure but theres a memory leak that wont relesase.
[G2 General] gonk24:
That sounds like the ColorFade leak which has to do with the screen off animation. That's the one that doesn't effect the G2. I honestly don't notice a leak at all. I know it's there, but I sure don't see it. My G2 runs for weeks at a time without a reboot and it never slows down. I also have a habit of clearing open apps somewhat frequently. Maybe that's why.
[G2 General] norbwiesse:
great

This is great news, but we hope that this more streamlined in battery life
[G2 General] raptorddd:
well i have heard a couple of guys complaining. when i was on s2 it would just like hang after a eboot it would be ok..
[G2 General] Masteryates:
I don't know the details of the Memory Leek in 5.0, 5.0.1 & 5.0.2 but I do know that things ran a hell of a lot better in 5.1 & 5.1.1 on my Nexus 7 2013. :victory:

From my perspective, I can't see the reason to upgrade from a stable OS to a newer OS that is fundamentally flawed. :eek:
[G2 General] Killua96:
5.0.2 on my g2 at least has the memory leak problem, apps doesn't stay in ram. You can notice this trying to install a 5.1.1 rom, where the problem is still present but you don't feel it too much, ora downgrade to kk where app stay in ram, it's completly different.
[G2 General] Romagnolo1973:
Some news from LG Italy (JPG Attached)

Translate:

Q: Firmware 30D will be the last for G2?

Lg Italy: even if there are not official news, several update for G2 are coming surelly

I know it's means nothing but at least G2 is not an abandoned device, if are only patch, lollipop 5.1.1 or MM we are just waiting and hoping :D
[G2 General] George Jetson:
I think if there will be any os upgrade for G2, this have to be 6.0 not 5.1.1. Why LG rework old os for an old device again? So if they work on update for G2 it will be exactly 6.0 update.

And for update news about G2, we should wait until lg ready push G3 6.0 update for any EU country. After this time we can see lg work on g2 or not and probably "this time" will be end of december and 2016 first quarter. Until this moment dont give reputation any news and dont feed that websites.

Finally my personal opinion, LG wont forget G2 users and will release V40a 6.0 update for LG G2 which most legendery phone the history of LG Mobile...

Stay tune for G2 update news on me and George Jetson out......:good:
[G2 General] raptorddd:
i really hope so too. at least M would be good.
[G2 General] OT-Xtreme:
sounds good, any more specific info?
[G2 General] Zarrick19:
LG is known (at least in my opinion) for releasing last updates for phones, whose users gave up ("there wont be more updates :(") for example Optimus 2X - everyone gave up, trying out some early ICS custom ROMs when suddenly an official ICS release pops out :D

5.0 I won't even poke with a stick, but the 5.1/6.0 might be interesting. But if they don't fix the audio hissing and don't enable all the camera features, I guess I will get back to good ol' KitKat...
[G2 General] Masteryates:
I totally agree. If only someone would build an app that protects against stagefright 1 & 2. KK is the XP of Android and I'd be happy sticking with it. :angel:
[G2 General] errikosd:
Textra has built-in stagefright protection, AFAIK.
[G2 General] Eselter:
But protect you only from infected MMS.
[G2 General] Masteryates:
Yes, I believe you are right.

I'm surprised no one hasn't brought out a Stage fright protection app or one of the PC Antivirus providers used it as an excuse for selling us there product on Android.

Maybe this can only be solved at OS level?

G2 will still be updated, don't know if we will get 6.0.1 or 5.1.1
[G2 General] raptorddd:
after seeing aops 6.0 i see no difference in visual form lollipop tbh am not impressed the only good thing it is better on battery and faster.. i think we should deserve 6.0 theres no point in 5.1.1
[G2 General] ptr347:
yeah 5.1.1 is pretty pointless, the "great" thing is that you can get the priority mode to be auto-desactivated after an alarm. LG should have brought it to 5.0 via ota.
[G2 General] OT-Xtreme:
its not so useless, suppose to fix the memory management
[G2 General] raptorddd:
But MM fixes that and run better. what am sayin is visual is the same. so why not go straight to MM does MM have other features?
[G2 General] zelendel:
It does. They redid the volume set up again, as well as battery improvements.

Don't count on this device getting anything though
[G2 General] raptorddd:
thats what am saying, 5.1.1 fixes the memory leak, but MM fixes that and better memory management and battery. and truly i dont spect an update from lg. not even 5.1.1
[G2 General] OT-Xtreme:
i meant that even 5.1.1 will be important, alao dont forget kernel source is released together with rom so a new release is moving everything forward, even AOSP of 5.1.1 to be even more stable.
[G2 General] raptorddd:
yes it is way better than 5.02 but why not go for MM instead. :D

will see , too bad we dont have a employee at developmentfrom lg to leak info on updates ..
[G2 General] majormickey:
Any update from android 5.0 will be great. Stock lollipop 5.0 on G2 is an unpleasant experience
[G2 General] Masteryates:
Any phone with 5.0.1 is an unpleasant experience. :crying:

I'm sticking with KK until they give us 5.1.1 or 6 :angel:
[G2 General] majormickey:
I'm using SlimSaber, tried many rom and I can honestly say it's the best out there in almost every aspect. The smoothness and battery life is ridiculously miles better compare to stock 5.0 based roms and comparable to KitKat but with more features
[G2 General] Fap_Trooper:
Tesla Rom for lg g2 is even smoother, less bugs, but ya, it all depends on how and what type of things users like and use, but for me Slim saber is good no doubt, but tesla has less bugs and its very new, one or 2 weeks back only it developed. But anywhoeys, if lp 5.1.1 comes out for g2, then we will have cloudy rom with 5.1.1, 5.0.2 is rather blah on certain things.
[G2 General] migueldbr:
never tried those roms, but i can say the same about resurrection remix! the only bug i have on RR is a force close right upon boot(only once). Everything else works perfectly
[G2 General] Fap_Trooper:
RR does look good too, notable difference between above roms are AOSP and CM based. But all depends on the user and his needs for a rom. But ya, its worth a try...flashing roms ftw....:cool:
[G2 General] GalaxyVolvoZ:
why are you all criticizing 5.0.x ? I run 5.0.2 Stock on my D800 and its so smooth and fast and my Apps stay in Ram and I get 6h on screen time
[G2 General] AssassinGEO:
You probably never tried stock cm 5.1.1. I used for some time and now I can't go back, soooo fluid and very good battery life (check one of my posts, crazy battery life).

Also it's faster, looks sexier and all the crap. That animation when going in to recents because of clear all and task manager on stock LG, argh...
[G2 General] Lostlam:
Think it's time to install CFW, as I don't have faith in LG releasing any updates soon.
[G2 General] migueldbr:
after trying many roms i am now on No Name Rom (based on stock lollipop 5.0.2) and the rom works really well! It makes lollipop enjoyable. For some reason i got lag and performance issues with cloudy 3.3 (clean flash twice) and blamed 5.0.2 and LG...even when flashing a custom kernel. But the No Name rom works very well, it is really fluid! So my guess is something on cloudy 3.3 is causing my performance issues because if it really was 5.0.2, no name rom wouldnt work so well. I advise anyone with a D802 to try it if they want to be on stock Lg roms (because of working Qremote, better sound, much better camera and other features from LG)
[G2 General] saspo59:
Can i install dorimanx kernel on it?
[G2 General] migueldbr:
some guys say it works fine on the rom thread, some other guy said it caused crashes. But i am using xceed kernel and it works perfectly(didnt try dorimanx yet)
[G2 General] raptorddd:
you can install in any stock rom or custom rom based on 5.0.2 any 5.1.1 is aosp or cm.

been running dorimanx since i got my phone about a month and am one of the lucky ones i guess not asingle reboot or freeze. 420 is good. but i went to cloudy as well, then i installed stock no mods and was fastest i had but my signal will be full and drops to 2 bars it would do that all day even flashing 30f modem. samething on all other roms 420 no name all signal good with cloudy stock i had signal drops after flashin d800 30 f all good. i cant understand why this particular rom for d800 had weak signal even after flashing 30f modem. but it was fast...with dorimanx good batery life.
[G2 General] OT-Xtreme:
its not accurate, dori or xceed kernels are LG stock only LP/KK ,no cm or others
