Does anyone have any good intel as to when we may see the Titan at AT&T? Also, is there any new news as to when we might get Skype for WP7? Christmas is coming and I'm due for an upgrade!

Microsoft held a big WP7 event in NYC today. They showed off all the phones.
The only good tidbit out of the event (that we did not already know) was that the HTC Titan on AT&T would be priced around $200.
No release date was given by AT&T and the demo units were not even branded, which makes some reporters think it will be some time before we see units in the stores.
So, I am waiting also as I am eligible for an upgrade and will use it for the Titan!
Eligible for an upgrade myself, dying to get one.
I was at an ATT Corporate store yesterday looking at the Focus S and he said their releases were on the 1 and 3rd Sundays of the month. He thought it was probably going to be Nov 20th. He didnt have any exact knowledge of the date. He didnt think any other major ones would be released after that for the holidays.

Confirmed by AT&T today online that the Titan will be in stores November 20th.
happy Dance, cant wait. Too bad I am working that whole day
So the past few weeks all I've been doing is searching about official ics here in Canada. So I personally emailed a close friend of mine at Telus and this is what I got.
"We have not received an exact date of when the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update will be released for your device. However, the new update is expected to be available sometime this month. Once it is available, you will receive a notification on your device that the new software can be downloaded."
Expect it sometime late June not early July. Also I hope some devs can turn this official ics into something beastly.

Oh you know the devs cant wait to get their hands on it. They will for sure make it awesome, just look at what they have done with the leaks.
How many months in a row have they said "this month!"
April, May, now June.. I'm not counting on it.
Yeah it's getting silly. I spoke with someone at Bell a week ago and they told me it would be available sometime in June. Not holding my breath...

The word expected makes everything vague. We were also told to expect it within two weeks after the Note was released and everytime the month passes a new rumor starts about the next month and we are still waiting. Nobody knows and unless it is posted on Rogers, Telus or AT&Ts websites you can take all the second hand guesses as just that, a guess. Do not believe it unless the carrier tells you a date and I don't mean a CSR cause they know nothing about updates either. Also its probably been two years since AT&T posted update dates so were just gonna have to wait. Even when AT&T used to post dates on their site when new firmware would be released it was only correct about 25% of the time and 75% of the time they would always push the dates back after the date they had posted had already past. I think it will be released soon but there is no reason to buy into these rumors. Someone also posted in our Note forums that they were told by Telus that the update was coming on May 31st and even said they called to recheck and was told the same thing twice by two different CSR and as you can see its still not out.
I'm perfectly satisfied with the current roms available

That is AWESOME news
TELUS will update their OS Upgrade Schedule this week (they update it every 2 weeks), we'll see then.
I talked to a Samsung employee that had an S3 and told me they are supposed to release it June 22nd. But we will see.
Here's me not holding my breath.

That'd be nice, but for some reason i'm not feeling too optimistic about it.
all these ICS post without any proof are starting to get annoying. There is alerady tons of threads with people making claims they talked to someone at samsung, a rep, a secretary, anyone, and they have all been false. Dont get me wront i would love ICS to finally be released, but only because the kernal will be released soon after. im happy with UCLE3 right now. Also ICS getting pushed would have more to do with AT&T then samsung.

Updates get released when they are ready. This is not the launching of a new OS or IOS when they say what date it will be available so people know. Updates are not set on till a certain date then released, they are released when they are ready and its that simple. They can give estimates on the month of release based on bug fixes and how stable the rom is based on testing but I promise NO CARRIER or SAMSUNG (HTC MOTOROLA APPLE ETC) will ever sit on a finished update PERIOD! Its bad for business to sit on an update, but I know updates are slow but these companies didn't come this far by being stupid and not giving the majority of their customers what they want. They may be slow at giving it to us but they still deliver in the end. Nobody, I repeat nobody except AT&T and the people making the software update can tell anyone when the update will be released and the way they tell you is by pushing a notification to your unrooted stock Gingerbread Galaxy Note. Like the man above said these threads about releasing the update are getting outta control especially when they keep getting posted by people that obviously have no clue how the update process goes, when they know, we know, and that's exactly how it works. Do people really think these multi BILLION $$$$ companies carry on like teenagers and keep secrets and gossip about something as meaningless as an ICS update? The 22nd isn't even a Sunday LOL (people in the know, know what this means). OH I forgot, how does having an S3 make this Samsung employee qualified to know when updates will be released? Was he working at the AT&T booth in the mall or the local AT&T store? Most of these guys/girls cannot even handle a problem without calling the real AT&T for help so trust me the guy you talked to knows nothing.

I'll believe the release date rumors, the day it is actually released. Been hearing new dates every week.
TELUS: JULY 13
TELUS is very consistant at communicating the “expected in market date” of when various devices will receive an OS update. Right on track is a refresh of their “Device OS Upgrade schedule” and those with the Samsung Galaxy Note, BlackBerry Bold 9790, Nokia Lumia 800, and LG Optimus 7 can be excited as your devices will be graced with a new OS soon:
Android:
HTC Desire HD OS 4.0 “Expected in market date” is July 25th
LG Optimus LTE OS 4.0 “Expected in market date” is Mid July
Samsung Galaxy Note OS 4.0 “Expected in market date” is July 13th
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 OS 4.0 “Expected in market date” is Late July
Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 OS 4.0 “Expected in market date” is August (was previously Late July)

ok ill explain myself. haha
so i work for att and last week they had Samsung come in and show us some features of the note and how to sell them better. The rep from samsung had a galaxy note with the official ATT ICS update on it already. He told me it was coming around the time the s3 is going to be relased. But who knows its seems ligit because he does work for samsung.
I talked to the CEO just now and he said it is already late tonight. He will do it tomorrow morning
I just called the president, he's sending me the official download link now.

I hate to pull a 'well actually', but Im going to do so.
Carriers are well known for sitting on updates even tho they are ready. There are a number of reasons for doing so, marketing being a big reason. By controlling WHEN a release is pushed, they can market other phone models or actually advertise big OS updates, often times making the carrier sound like THEY actually did all the hard work and their customers should appreciate the OS update as a good deed by the carrier.
Anyone remember the Samsung Captivate? Gingerbread? How long did it take to come to the Captivate 'officially'? The rumour, although no one for sure can say, is that AT&T sat on this update and decided never to release it. Samsung then decided to take it upon themselves and provide the update via Kies Mini (PC software with the SOLE purpose of updating firmware via your PC rather than the carrier delivering said update). It was shortly after this that AT&T began making the update available over the air, after Samsung forced their hand. Likely, all of this was to push Captivate users to buy a newer model phone with LTE (which means higher priced data plans).
AT&T typically pushes firmware updates and new phone releases, both on Sundays. Dont ask me why, I just know that is what they 'usually' do. However, to give the benefit of the doubt, maybe they are planning something different.
Anyone remember the Lumia 900 (flagship Windows Phone 7 made by Nokia)? This was announced as officially coming out on Easter Sunday (Easter in the states) but since AT&T wasnt actually open, they had to sell it on Monday. Someone at AT&T forgot to look at a calendar.
The S3 is supposed to be available at AT&T June 18th according to this article (end of the second to last paragraph in the first section). This article was written today.
The Galaxy S3 was intended to be released at the end of June along with its competitors AT&T, which will get the new phone on June 18, and Sprint, which has a release date of June 21.

Read the entire paragraph, for the context of the use of the word 'intended'.
Now, the 18th falls on a Monday which has me scratching my head because everything being reported is simply not the way AT&T usually does things. Even more funny is, no one seems to actually KNOW when the S3 will be available and if the ICS update is supposed to coincide with the release of the S3 (again, quite frankly, I dont know why AT&T would care, they are both not really related to each other), and no one knows when the S3 will be available for AT&T customers, how can anyone determine the release of this firmware?
So, my opinion? We are looking at either June 17th (tomorrow) or June 24th if Samsung and AT&T keep their promise of Q2. BUT, I have heard that ICS was delayed for all carriers because Samsung is fixing a kernel bug, code that exists in ALL variants of the Note that caused hard bricks when flashing roms on variants containing the quadcore processors found in the international Note. I know the way I said that was likely confusing so let me clarify. The kernel code exists in all variants of the Note. However, the code does NOT affect the dual core processor variants of the Note. But Samsung is fixing said code in all variants of the Note, their are a number of potential reasons why that I wont go into here. This bug was fixed back at the end of May but this ate into the carrier testing period so it was delayed. I could totally be wrong here but Im guessing July 1rst, which would be close enough to Q2 that I doubt anyone could really ***** about it not being in Q2.
One other comment...
An official ICS update means source code!. Many of us are waiting for an official update not specifically so we can flash it but so that we can begin to see some real rom development start happening beyond themes and generic tweaks. Not that I dont appreciate the work that has already been done but I am really curious as to what the Note is 'really' capable of.
My rep told me the 20th.
My rep knows more then your rep.
The Verizon GS6, a phone older than the V10 got updated to Nougat. If LG is going to stifle creativity the least they could do is timely updates. Can you image if your PC or MAC did not get any updates for over a year... Why do we as consumers allow carriers and phone makers to get away with this?
And to think I sold Galaxy S6 to buy this piece of crap! Biggest regret!
The camera and audio on my V10 are simply awesome.
The rest...not so much!
So LG corporate lurkers...while that G6 looks cool, I could probably count on some engineering stupidity that manifests within a year and some ensuing corporate coverup. No Thanks! When it's time to get a new phone...it won't be LG!
The LG V10 is scheduled for Nougat:

Korean market in the second quarter, then other markets after, which could mean September at the soonest bust Verizon will need to test it for a year and will update it after I have switched. I am ditching VZW. Nearly 2 decades I have been a customer and they have treated us like **** for that whole time. 127 dollars a month for a single 6gig smart phone (with government employee discount) and a basic flip phone. Their network is not that great. In my area ALL the carriers perform about the same. Sprint has generally the best network speeds. All of them are faster than the 4MBps down I get.
Yep switching to Sprint or AT&T and going iPhone, f**k waiting for updates. Apple at least releases them fairly timely.

It would not be as bad if they didn't lock the phone down and not allow us to do as we wish. No updates plus a locked phone equals total b.s. I enjoy the V10 but would like it a whole lot more with root and a custom ROM.

I wouldn't say the v10 has gotten no updates, just not to the next version of the os. I can't tell you how long I've waited between major updates from microsoft. Until 10, they really didn't do a major change for multiple years. Verizon does suck a bit for c**k-blocking the root, but I would learn the art of patience, if I were you. It does suck, but there are a million other phones to choose from... I guess some people just can't stand but to shove their negativity in everyone's faces. sheesh! Can't we all just get along?
Currently on my 2nd V10, and the only things that I can honestly say that's good about this damn device is sound and removable battery. Locking it up like a prison and dragging ass on updates are constant reminders of why I should have never went back to an LG device.
I too have been with VZW for a long time (Bell Atlantic days actually), with only minimal discounts for being military as well as crappy customer service with over priced fees per monthly billing that make no sense. Before year's end I plan on finally dumping VZW and going elsewhere. I'd be highly surprised if this device actually sees 7.0 by Christmas, which by then would be completely useless.
They are updating the K8v to nougat.

Nice to see a low end phone getting the update before what was one of their flagship phones.

V10 already have the update too, but only in Korea, F600K/S/L are updated with Nougat since yesterday, even before K8v.
Other V10 variants will have the update in a week, or in days to come.

Verizon will receive the update too but a little late since carriers will have to do a revision of it and then put their crappyware inside the update.
For Verizon i think maybe in the end of June you get it, its the problem having carrier phones, everytime you are the last receiving the updates.
not looking like we are going to get Nougat..i guess we are suppose to be happy with the latest security updates...smfh
Edit: I misread the post. The author claims the reps told him Verizon received the update on July 12 from LG and are modifying it for release. So still no release date, but if this is true, it's a hopeful sign.
Original: I posted this in another thread, too, but I just stumbled up on this post which says Nougat is coming on "July 12." I think he meant Aug. 12, because the post was made yesterday. (unless the timestamp is wrong for some reason...)
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgv10/comments/6prj0q/take_it_with_a_grain_of_salt_verizon_says_nougat/
LG is no more "lame" than any other manufacturer. In this case, the update is on Verizons end. LG has already updated the V10 to Nougat and T-mobile has pushed it out to their users a while ago. Verizon has not, and I will doubt that they will at this point. I have owned Android devices by Samsung, LG, and HTC. You are lucky if you get one OS update on them. One of my HTC's I had for two years got none. If you want a device that is going to be supported in 5 to 6 years, you will have to buy an iPhone. And no, I have never owned an iPhone, but the truth is all of their upgrades are up to Apple. Apple does not let the carriers install garbage software on their devices, so when an update comes out, the testing is all on their end.
TMO is announcing this device in 2 days. And guess what? If you have a 7T McLaren, you are SOL. That is right. If you have the 7T Pro 5G already then you cannot upgrade. So this is the reason they are not working on updates to the firmware because they have a newer phone and they no longer care about ours. I have had this phone for 3 months and they come out with a newer better one? So crappy for them to do this without including those loyal customers. I would happily keep this phone but with no updates, this is unfair. I will be calling them in a day or two to complain but I kinda am doubting that they give a rat patootie. We shall see. Update soon.
Where is it confirmed there will be no future firmwares? The 8 seems like a sidegrade to me, some improvements, but some other things are worse though.
They promised they would support the Sprint spectrum when the merger is complete so that's at least one future firmware they owe us.

OnePlus has always released a phone every 6 months. This is perfectly normal and this phone will continue to receive updates.
Their contract with carriers means they have to release updates for 2 years I believe.

Considering that the April 2020 security update was just released today I don't know what you mean about no firmware. They have been releasing every month since I got this phone pretty much. It's not really surprising it was late in the month either as I'm sure both OnePlus and T-Mobiles software teams are probably running shorter staffed due to the pandemic.
