Hey guys, since 4.1.2 is pretty naff for most LG devices, I've set up, and am trying to launch a petition to get some action on some officialness for some of the flagship devices..
https://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/lg-release-official-android-updates-for-flagship-devices#
Sign and share, and post everywhere you can, add to your signatures, I think LG will learn to finally listen and compete with their rivals!
Even though I doubt it will do any good I signed. Keep fighting the good fight.

Don't mean to rain on anyone's parade but, having come from numerous boot loader unlock petitions for moto devices, I don't see this being very effective.
Corporations are less concerned with ongoing support than they are with new revenue. If there's profit in it, they'll do it. If there isn't, they won't. Period.
Why would they want you to keep a current device when they spend millions on whetting your appetite for the latest & greatest?
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
LG has announced they will not be releasing another "flagship" device and will instead focus on the TV market.
You should set up a petition to stop Monsanto, Corporate greed, poverty, hunger, but software updates?
Not signing... I don't believe in the usefulness of online petitions.
This... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47680103&postcount=88
That article says the lg g2 "is sure to get" an update. That's far from official.

Lol. I remember the petition to get an official WP7 update for the HD2. That made all the difference.
How can anyone possibly expect a manufacturer to continue developing for a device with no revenue stream? Unless you're paying for the software update or are paying a subscription...
Having said that I do fully expect LG will update the G2 to 4.4

I'll sign, off course, but we're talking bout LG, there is not supposed to be nay updates at all. And if there is, they'll come approx a year after the closest competition.

The moto x just got kitkat 4.4 wow. Since Google purchased Moto, they've been improving all around. Hopefully this is a wakeup call towards LG, Samsung's, HTC & Sony to give promptly updates. Which I'm sure won't happen though. For them, it's all about profits. Updates are not on their top priority list...

Droid Razr gets Jelly Bean update today while we still wonder if the Rezound is even on the list.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
My forecast, the Rezound probably won't see jellybean officially. If that's what you're wanting to see I would get a different device. And by that I mean a device that already has jellybean.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
And HTC wonders why their profits fall as they forget about flagship phones, first 4G phone, first HD 720p phone, etc...if u can't keep those updated then why keep buying from your company? HTC better redesign their business model or bye bye. Even Motorola is only gonna slightly theme on top of Google updates so they can update within 3 months of a new release. I will protest against HTC by buying the new X phone by google and Motorola.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I think a lot of it is "why bother with Verizon phones?"
Verizon only cares about the popular phones. You can't blame them if they make money from it.
With the Bionic getting OTA 4.0 and Razr getting OTA 4.1.2 shows that HTC is slowly digging their own grave. They are always late or deliver an incomplete update that breaks something that needs and update to fix it. HTC flyer comes to mind....they broke it with update then simply walked away like a child who broke something acted like it never happened.

Posts like these bother me. The phone got ICS months ago and now peopel are whining like little babies, "I WANT JELLY BEAN! HTC SUCKS!" HTC IS FAILING!"
To be honest I probably won't get another HTC device in 2013 when I upgrade, but I'm not whining about my Rezound either. I paid a mere $60 for it 3 months after it was released.
I will laugh at the naysayers and whiners **WHEN** we get official JB OTA.

I don't think the Rezound was meant to be a flagship in HTC and Verizon's eyes. It was just a device to have something to sell near the holidays and was never too popular sadly.

If this is how u feel then why ever update the phone past what it comes equipped with. You are missing the entire point I was trying to make. This is hands down a better device than the Razr but is being held back by HTC that would rather build new phones than update them. My last 3 phone have been HTC, my next will be the X phone. If my thread bothers u so much to bad, it was a news update and opinion from me, we still have free speech....for now anyways.

Let's all sign this, guys! I just find the whole process of flashing a P760 kdz on a P769 ridiculous and unnecessary.
This is laziness on LG's part and I think it's disrespectful to us as consumers. They can try to pass the blame to the carriers but ultimately, they manufacture the device and we purchased it.
They should have asked the people that ensure a steady profit for approval and not another greedy corporation. Let's sign.

You are probably addressing the wrong people. LG doesn't really care. It's T-Mobile who requested to lock be bootloader, LG cannot go against it. They may unlock p760/65 although I don't really know how they are sold in Europe and what are the pricing models. P769 is very unlikely, T-Mobile will not do it because they sell this phone very cheap (been seen for $150 on Amazon) and without their plans. It's their way to screw it up as much as they can and lower its perceptive value so people would go for more expensive phones and plans.
I chatted with a T-Mobile rep not too long ago and he told me that the manufacturer is responsible for releasing the unlock token.
The cheap phone thing doesn't make sense, though. You can easily unlock the very cheap Huawei Summit and load CyanogenMod 7.2 on it. I did it for my mom's Summit.

If you genuinely can't be bothered to flash the KDZ and make it work, you probably don't need an unlocked boot loader. The fact that they unlocked the P760 allowed all of us to get unlocked bootloaders and I think that's plenty enough.

A group of nerds from a forum website on a phone that's a year old and past it's life cycle (sadly) isn't going to match up to a multi-billion dollar South Korean electronic/appliance manufacturer, with thousands of shareholders and investors. And what do we have? Oh, wait, oops.

Moto X and Moto G are both going to be supported for years because Motorola is owned by Google now. Therefore, Motorola phones are practically Nexus phones. Even though they don't get updates first, they get them soon after!
Well i just found out CyanogenMod Team coming out with a phone... I want that instead since all i'm gonna do is put a custom rom on a phone anyways..

I'm definitely getting the moto g when it comes to the US in January, can't believe it's only $179. Could probably sell this phone for $100 too, $79 for an unlocked 720p phone with KitKat sounds great.

Can't wait till Verizon releasess KitKat for the Droid.!!! Phone can deffinatley run it with zero issues with it on KitKat now.
Of course VZW is always a bit on the slow side of approving...
I think what vzw was/is doing is updating all their other newer devices first (to get people to upgrade) before they roll out the updates to us older phone
This is just what it seems to me now that they have worked on the other HTC devices we are hopefully next unless another device comes along

I have zero reason to doubt that. After all it makes sense revenue-wise. Yeah the DNA is an "older" model. But it can still hang quite well with the newer ones. :good:

I'm in no rush for Verizon to push us Kit Kat. Look at some of the amazing Devs the HTC Droid DNA has. @nitsuj17 @santod040 @Zarboz , we don't need Verizon with them in the DNA forums.!!! I mean newer system files and a newer kernel with help the stability of the roms we have now and future releases. But besides that we are fine.!!
And I just joined the DNA forums but I've been in the android central forums and helped with many rims there so I have some experience with roms. And as soon as my post count goes up I might start a little something, something.!! A girl dev in the DNA forums.

Who knows Verizon is usually the one that causes updates to take forever. So when ever they finally feel it's ready and want to push it out is when we will see it. They said some time in April but I doubt it.
