You are talking about lollipop and he is talking about kit kat.....

Any way, can we use this thread just for news or updates about a prossible new version?

Create a separate thread por something and post everything extra, idk
[G2 General] Masteryates:
Yes I was talking about kit kat.

Apologies for going off topic. :o
[G2 General] migueldbr:
There seems to be a 30H firmware for d802 on droidth facebook...does anyone know what is new?

EDIT: nevermind, its vodafone update probably ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64659067&postcount=1845 )
[G2 General] Shaolin007:
Its a latest stagefreight Patch Fix....

Nothing else...
[G2 General] ASRock86Cro:
It's already been six months from the publication of how to lg g2 d802 arrive update Android to WITH 4.0 UX 5.1.1 for two months and still nothing.
[G2 General] KyPbP:
Because it is a fake
[G2 General] TheHaso:
I love to read here, almost no-one realizes that. :o
[G2 General] Eminemiero:
i prefer fake news than off topic posts
[G2 General] wyelkins:
Pretty sure Marshmallow ain't happening

Root and flash custom Rom.
[G2 General] avercros:
Or sell this old device.

I'm going to do that.
[G2 General] zakk87:
And what you gonna to buy?
[G2 General] Felipe_PS:
Our G2 can handle Marshmallow pretty well, LG could give this last update for this great device. Anyway, we'll always have CM and AOSP :)
[G2 General] 60nine:
why sell?

device that handles phone calls well, sms messages well, facebook works well, gmail works well, new games like nfs no limits works well, every daily task works well, still has the nice screen to bezel ratio and size, and still beats a crap out many newer devices in the same price range...

oh yes - it still looks sexy as hell in black (i never liked white devices)

i just don't get that "oh i must get the newest software asap"...

only thing i'm missing on g2 is a better camera lens (at least f2.0 instead of f2.4 it has) and a better camera driver (newer api) - that's it...

for everything else - have a tablet and pc/mac...

i'm preety sure my next phone will be G6 if it ever cames out (LG somehow fails on odd numbers and gets it right on even ones)
[G2 General] amin44:
[MENTION=4656786]60nine[/MENTION] +1 and about softwear i still love old kitkat ui on aosp and stock

I think this phone still have long life..... We will see if lg give us another update 5.1 or 6 i hope it will have unlock bootleador like g4
[G2 General] raptorddd:
Forget bootloader locked, we want rom..
[G2 General] Akopps:
It is not a great tragedy if we don't get either 5.1 or 6.0 OTA, but I'd feel disappointed because internally LG G2 and G3 are pretty similar performance-wise.

On the bright side, the 5.1-based AOSP ROMS are already available and are stable. The official CM13 ROM is available, but will take some time to mature. Even the stock 5.0.1 ROM still has a lot of life left in it because you can expect application support for years to come. Get it rooted and mod-away.
[G2 General] raptorddd:
But not good camera on aosp roms. thats the only reason am not on aosp, been in aosp on other phones.

so i rather stay on sstock with api camera support. if they only had same camera support in asop am pretty sure most will be on aosp. no doubt i love aosp. its just that to me camera its important. so ill be greedy we want MM..:D
[G2 General] alecore:
Are there any official words from LG that we are or we are not getting MM? Gsm arena is not listing G2 as planning to get 6.0 or either 5.1. At least LG should provide us an update with bug fixes.
[G2 General] avercros:
It's a 2-year old phone, i don't think that they are planning to update it.
[G2 General] 60nine:
was it stated somewhere in the device manual/instructions that they have to do it? i don't recall reading that LG statement anywhere in the official papers that came with the device ;)

yes - it would be nice if they do, but they're not obligated by anything to do it...
[G2 General] kolouch.petr:
5.1.1. for D802 - great

that would be great to see 5.1.1. on my D802 :)
[G2 General] Velkyrix:
http://www.autoomobile.com/news/lg-g2-android-60-marshmallow-update/40023390/ this is not what u think, its a speculation. but it shows that we still have hope! so do i! well i should be patient cus when i think about it, Lollipop was only released between March - May. so we still have time to get the answer.
[G2 General] Killua96:
Its a news where the author comment the fake benchmark...

Also, it states that the benchmark has been done with a Custom rom, but the data of the benchmark reported that in addition to the higher clock speed there is the wrong chipset, not the snap800 but the 808...

I don't think it can be considered speculating
[G2 General] alecore:
we will not get 5.1 or 6.0 at all . Get used with the idea :)
[G2 General] Killua96:
Wow, then don't read or post in this thread =)
[G2 General] Aqwking:
6.0

It's to bad that 6.0 won't come for our loved g2,I really wanted to believe that it will come out but yeah,nobody wants to update an almost 3 year old device :crying:
[G2 General] OT-Xtreme:
its far from 3 years and you don't have a proof that they wont, if you do paste here the source
[G2 General] alecore:
i don't need a source ,but to be honest,where's the other proof of getting ? LG stopped giving any information about update,they are more focused on LG G5 ,and that benchmark with marshmallow score is with a custom rom .
[G2 General] raptorddd:
i read that is unusual to get mm on lg g2 as its almost 3 years old..
[G2 General] Killua96:
Again? That benchmark has nothing to do with the g2 apart from the name written on it, its done with a 2.8 ghz oc cpu on the snapdragon 808 chipset, so no custom rom, totally fake.

Also, lg didnt give any Information also for the lollipop update.

I understand that you Lost hope, but keep saying this in this thread is pretty useless.
[G2 General] KpKi:
I really wish we get some sort of confirmation like "sorry your device is out off support period " or whatever but keeping us in the dark is not a cool approach ....I think that each company should have a webpage updating their devices "Status"if they still eligible for updates to not waste people time and allow fake news to go around and confuse everyone .
[G2 General] OT-Xtreme:
we all wish that and much more
[G2 General] raptorddd:
isnt there a way to reach lg head quarters where they do the developing?
[G2 General] OT-Xtreme:
it's in Korea
[G2 General] eggeioss:
This is LG Mobile Korea twitter page. It's all in korean...but it seems that they reply to the costumers (if you write in korean).

https://mobile.twitter.com/lg_mobile_
[G2 General] ironmaiden97:
for me an official update from lg is not only important itself, but it would be important for AOSP developers because a lot of roms like CM, Slim, RM, ... have a lot of unfixed bug (even in final releases) that will never be fixed unless lg releases an official rom uodated with latest google code... Our lg has also a powerful hardware and it would be sad to leave it to an unoptmized release like the last one
[G2 General] alecore:
well if someone knows Korean ,feel free to ask them and let us to know the answer :)
[G2 General] 60nine:
let me answer for them

"dear (insert name here) - at this moment we don't have plans to update lg g2 to MM"...

as every company or provider - all you'll get is a generic answer... so why bother?
[G2 General] raptorddd:
yes 5.1.1 would be just fine no phone should be stuck with 5.02
[G2 General] 350Rocket:
D803 is still stuck with 4.4.2 and there is no plan to update past that as far as I've seen anywhere. Canadian variants of other phones of the same age or older like the m7 are getting updated well past kitkat.
[G2 General] raptorddd:
and theres no other way to update? like not directly from lg.? thats is not right from lg or your carrier.

hey werent you in the s2 threads?
[G2 General] Masteryates:
Is the D803 getting security updates to KK?
[G2 General] KyPbP:
Yes

Bell 20g>20o

Rogers 20f>20l

Telus 20h>20p
[G2 General] Masteryates:
You guys stuck on KK may be annoyed that L never got released for your phone. 5.0.2 on the other hand has always had problems with a memory leak so I would say you are in the best boat as KK on the D802 has not been updated security wise. :highfive:

Would be interesting to see if anyone could build a 20o file for the D802?
[G2 General] alecore:
maybe Koreans are different,who knows ;d
[G2 General] 350Rocket:
Not sure about security updates. The phone was on a stable 5.0.2 (I think) Rom when the screen got broken. Can't so anything with it now. There won't be stable updated roms in the future though without updates from LG.
[G2 General] Andeby:
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg2/comments/41n491/g2_getting_marshmallow/

They specifically say 6.0 is being tested for the G2. It's too soon to get hyped and it could be faked, but still!
[G2 General] blackcodetech:
I hope this message is true. This community deserves more updates. If lg release M for G2 I will definitely buy G5.:cool:
[G2 General] Nightshadow931:
The picture seems legit. :)
[G2 General] migueldbr:
If the g2 gets 6.0 it will be such a beast...i get about the same battery life with stock and cm, but on stock ROM the CPU uses higher frequencies than on cm, much due to the badly optimized 5.0.2. I can only imagine the great battery life of stock coupled with better optimization towards not using such higher frequencies and doze mode at the same time. Not to mention the much smoother system. It seems to good to be true,but we will see
[G2 General] bharathnetha90:
I have tried android 6.0 through cyanogenmod 13 on my lg g2..it has many bug issues...g apps are unstable...when am trying to update software g apps getting crashed..hope we soon get cm13 with marshmallow for g2 d802
[G2 General] mwedo:
Use Kernel Adiutor to solve the problem.

Flash Bliss 6.0.
[G2 General] migueldbr:
Doesn't solve anything, if I tweak it to use lower frequencies it will start to lag, unlike 5.1.1 or 6.0 (hence the bad optimization of 5.0.2)
[G2 General] LilProphet:
It's because you have to reflash Gapps after updating, just keep the zip, and flash it with the update manually.
[G2 General] mwedo:
Tweak better and/or flash custom kernel. Dorimanx to the rescue.
[G2 General] migueldbr:
It's really not that simple...lol. I wish it were. I tried dorimanx too, only aggressive profiles like performance extinguish lag, but that's the opposite of what I said(which was to make it more efficient and don't use such high frequencies while still maintaining performance). 5.1.1 and 6.0 are simply more efficient, don't bother trying to tweak it and expect same performance/battery life. It's just the way it is.
[G2 General] George Jetson:
Probably fake. We should wait until end of february.
[G2 General] mwedo:
Well yeah, I feel you, but it's the best thing you can do on stock, unfortunately. My battery life was tremendous on stock (30b) but after my first minute with 5.1.1 (BlissPop) and that insane performance that was it; just switched back to 30b to compare and was surprised by its bad memory management and sluggish UX (not UI - UX.) heh. The best thing I was able to do was heavy tweaking the **** outta it in Kernel Adiutor and the highest frequency (on average) was 1497 MHz with no noticeable performance loss. But it is/was still waaaaay slower than Bliss.

If there is an update (on its way to our G2s) then we can expect it in March-April, and I'm 99.999% sure of it. KK - March 2014. LP - April 2015. Actually, how about May now, lol?
[G2 General] Velkyrix:
lel and it is being tested by LG, but release is not sure. in the second picture he sent, there is full proof its legit, but then i read it again, and they said its in testing faze and they HOPE to release it. meaning if its decided as good for the G2 it will be released.

Edit: I wanted to email them but i dont know how XD
[G2 General] tiguy99:
Lol!!!!
[G2 General] alecore:
well I don't believe that post for 2 reasons :

1. is a new user posting a random photo from his 'computer'

2. how old could be that mail ? and easily can be modified in photoshop ,I don't see any date of receiving the mail
[G2 General] rdlegy:
We won't get any new updates. Think of the money lg is losing to update a device that can be found only second hand these days.

It is not something you invest in. You just move to the next one.
[G2 General] mwedo:
Well, Apple is still updating 4S, and 5, even though you can't buy those fresh new. 5S is from 2013, just like G2, and it's also getting updates regularly. Is Apple losing money because of that?
[G2 General] zelendel:
No what apple does is by updating those devices it makes them alot slower which in turn makes people update.

You cant compare updates from one OS to another. Mainly when it comes to apple who is a premium device. Android devices are so varied that it is impossible to make sure all devices get updated or even for them to test on a device that they most likely have already stuck all info for that device into storage.
[G2 General] mwedo:
Same with Android or at least GApps (compare this new crapfest of YouTube app to <9.10.x, for example).

Well in this particular case I actually can because G2 was for LG exactly the same as 5S was for Apple - a flagship (and premium) device in 2013. We're not talking about LG L9 or whatever. It's a(n ex) flagship phone and it should be treated like that. Of course that's utopian to expect when it comes to Android but still...
[G2 General] TASL:

[G2 General] TASL:
Sigh... You guys search the heavens for hope. I link that another older LG one model year away got MM... AND I said hopefully means an update will 'trickle down' to the G2. Anyways, have a nice day. I will.
[G2 General] Velkyrix:
Well, with all the rumors are making me go mad. Its a mess of speculation, lies and tricks. can someone finish it and email customer support to try seek truth

Note: I tried, they didn't reply. ill try in a bit again.
[G2 General] alecore:
i tried,the same answer as always : 'we don't know when'
[G2 General] JulianAT:
I don't think that we'll get any further Android updates on this device.

It would be great, if this device would get updates, but it has now gone too much time for it...

I had a chat conversation with LG (via their official website) in August 2015 and I asked about an update in front of stagefright.

"Yes, we will bring an update for it!" That was in AUGUST! Wow, so much time...

The "open europe" device has still not received any update to fix stagefright.
[G2 General] Mikulic1802:
Well... You're wrong, it did...

My device u d802 and i got 30h update, idk why didnt you get one...
[G2 General] JulianAT:

///Edit:

I can't find there your firmware 30h...

Where did you get it?

Oh - And btw!

I've got a 32 GB model, not 16 GB.

I already would have updated to 6MB/MOBILKOM_16G(AUSTRIA) V30h, but it's only for 16 GB models...
[G2 General] Mikulic1802:
I think that open europe 30d=branded 30h, and stagefright fix is included
[G2 General] Killua96:
No update for your specific device, 30f (Patch for first stagefright) is out from september, 30H (patch for second stagefright) went out at the beginning of december via ota, just be patience and a kdz will pop out.

Here you can find 30F e 30H flashable zip, and at the end of the same thread another XDA user asked to somboons the kdz of 30H, will see
[G2 General] JulianAT:
Interesting... Have you tried to play videos in Google Chrome with 30H and have all stagefright bugs been fixed with 30H?

My last try was with 30F and I had to flash a fix for at least 2 stagefright bugs. All videos in Google Chrome resulted in green screen after flashing the fix.
[G2 General] Killua96:
30F had the fix for the "first" stagefright (MMS one). Never tried 30H, stuck with CM13, but the changelog for the 30H as far as i remember was "security patch" and i'm pretty sure that second stagefright patch (online video) was in that update.
[G2 General] tuncay_93:
Just that. Maybe for the moment they do but in long term they win more important goals called customers. I run my own pet shop and i do sell pet food and accesoory and also pets too. I dont make any money of selling the pets but they have attracting factor people who see cute pets just walk in to have a look at them. And instantly you have new customers in most cases they are coming back over and over again. Thats how apple and samsung and motorola make you go back for more. But not with cute kittens and mice or ? but with cute updates to your phone which in most cases increasse the life cycle of the device. (if my g2 does get updates regular i will use it for ages thats how much i like this phone)
[G2 General] stroge:
If they are spending more and more money on updating your g2, and you will keep that for ages, and other users do that with g2-g4, LG will not sell any of g5, because all the customers are staying with the old phones. Customers that will chose LG because of this approach will still be less than users having an LG phone already and upgrading to g5 because they liked it very much.
[G2 General] sachilleas:
Apple gives 4 years of updates and still almost everyone comes back for more every one or two years. The model of Android 's updates is ridiculous. At least they could give us security updates only.
[G2 General] stroge:
Yeah, apple has to optimize the updates for approx 5 types of HW, but even only samsung have more than 50...
[G2 General] sachilleas:
True. But this is this is not an excuse for them. It's their business model.
[G2 General] stroge:
Correct, and you seem to have chosen this model :)
[G2 General] Choristav:
Uhh, CM does provide android 5.1.x. There's no official 12.1 but you can compile it easily or use any other roms that are using the CAF source, it's the exact same thing. It's also fully working, hell, it might be less buggy at this moment than stock.

Not sure what you're talking about, would you rather have an unlocked bootloader where you can do anything to it anyways? I'm sure if people tried hard enough they'd find a lollipop exploit, it's just not necessary with bump existing.

Honestly, yes, it is nonsense, epecially when such manufacturer is known for its stock UI in which it inverted thousands if not millions (ie samsung's touchwiz, HTC's sense, etc). There were developer versions of such devices (such as the galaxy s4), it didn't sell too well.

Well Motorola was very closely associated with google. Nvidia doesn't really care, it's more of a hardware company.

It sure is a flaw, luckily, we have cyanogenmod and other ROMs.

Ask away, I don't mind!
[G2 General] wq0913562:
I was mainly referring to full disk encryption.

In the following thread:

http://xdaforums.com/general/security/android-device-supports-hardware-t3044165

there is some discussion about things like custom recoveries, unlocked/vulnerable bootloaders and root making full disk encryption less secure... (not sure if that's actually the case though)

So, if someone wants to encrypt his phone, it probably might not be the best advise for him to to stop asking the manufacturer for OS updates and instead just root the phone and installing a custom recovery and downgrading to a vulnerable bootloader and flashing a custom ROM...

"Known for it's stock UI"..., "invested thousands if not millions"...

For what?

To annoy consumers and to make OS updates more problematic?

[IRONY]Well done![/IRONY]

With "developer versions of such devices" you are probably referring to the Nexus like "Google Play Edition" (GPE) versions of devices like the Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One M7/M8 and so on?

AFAIK those devices were only available through the Google Play Store and not directly from the manufacturer and not through normal retail channels and were not even available world-wide...

So it's probably no wonder that those versions sold less...

If LG would have offered such a Google Play Edition for the LG G2 in my country and through regular retail channels, I sure know which version I would have bought...

Unfortunately though they didn't...
[G2 General] Choristav:
I have no idea about encryption so I can't comment on the subject. But on the topic of OS updates, yes. It's still kind of like, your opinion, man.

You might not like it, but there are a lot of people who do. The majority of customers (if you're on XDA you're the very minority, mind you) like gimmicks and that's the hard truth. OS updates? They don't even know what that means. Kitkat? Lollipop? Android verison? Who cares, if the phone runs and has stuff like dual window and stylus, why would they care about system updates?

I realize that the GPE phones were only sold online, but then again, nexus phones do NOT have a very big market share and they are sold pretty much world-wide. Even though they are technically more open and better. Anyone on XDA would agree, but then again, this is a minority.

So... yeah, people like flashy stuff and a lot of features, even if you don't agree. This is exactly why AOSP roms exist, for minorities like us, to change the way the phone looks like and works. You'd buy the pure android phone. So would I. But millions would rather not, and they'd rather stick with something like touchwiz, maybe even because they don't know better.
[G2 General] 350Rocket:
Normal people would want the software updates without the rooting and stuff that us minorities go through so that the latest apps work with their phone in a couple years when they are still using It and don't want to pay for an unnecessary upgrade. Enough said.
[G2 General] wq0913562:
Android M Preview 2 has been released:

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2015/07/m-developer-preview-gets-its-first.html

And according to the Android M release schedule:

http://developer.android.com/preview/overview.html#timeline

Android M Preview 3 will also be released at the end of this month (July) and will actually already be a near final build.

And the final release of Android M will happen within Q3 according to the Android M release schedule.

Q3 will end on September 30, 2015.

The LG G2 was released on September 12, 2013 according to Wikipedia.

So, the LG G2 will become two years old around the time Android M will be released. Or maybe Android M will even be released before the LG G2 gets two years old.

So it would only be fair from LG to update the LG G2 to Android M IMHO.

This time there are three previews of Android M. And the third preview will even be a near final build according to Google.

So there would be plenty of time for the manufacturers now to prepare their Android M updates.

Releasing such a late 5.1.x update now and not doing an Android M update would be very disappointing now.

Since the Nexus 5 will also get an Android M update (or is already even receiving it today through the previews), the LG G2 really should deserve to get it as well.

LG, please use your manpower for giving us Android M, instead of wasting it for an outdated 5.1.x update.

If you give us 5.1.x and Android M, that would be fine of course.

Exactly. And not just for app compatibility, but also for security fixes.

Regards
