when is kitkat upgrade coming for LG G2 here in united arab emirates?
price of LG G2 is going down here in UAE and an upgrade to KK would at least make the early buyers happy
I believe in January they said on there twitter it will be coming out next month (February). We are now in March.
please see the attached
This was what i received from LG when i asked them the same question. I don't understand why on earth they take this long to push this update just putting this ota on their server. It's really frustrating. The reason i abandoned Nokia is repeating. Please update me if you get any good news on or before the date on the attached.
yah i know its kinda frustating when other countries started receiving kitkat OTA updates...while here in united arab emirates, there is no clue even the stores and LG sites dont even know themselves when it will come...
to add more, the price of LG G2 has gone down by more than $100 in just 2 months....while S4, Note 3 and even HTC One prices has remain stable....
come on LG make us happy by giving us KK
if the updates begin to roll out keep the grup inforned
Well noted.
but I think no posting will be required. everyone has his finger on 'check now for update' button. :laugh:
honestly, I check for this update minimum 10 times a day.
End of April !!! How come ?

yes end of April, come on LG why sooooo late???
An update was released today for my UAE D802, it's D80210F, any idea what's the changelog? I'm on D80210E!
We're still getting JellyBean updates while other ppl are getting KK. But anyways KitKat have an audio bug which I'd rather stay away from.

Kitkat when will it happen???? LG wake up...
All over the World Kit Kat released by LG, But Middle East countries still waiting for update. So LG plz tell us how much we wait for update.
Kitkat update started rolling out in UAE
I got kitkat update for my G2 yesterday. The download size was around 550mb.. And i must warn you, i have some issues with the soft keys now. When using some apps the soft keys cover a little portion of the app too.. I think even while watching youtube the keys dont go away!!
Other than that evrything else is fine. When i updated my s4 to kitkat i got about 300mb of ram freed up. But thats not the case in G2. The RAM usage is still the same as jellybean.
The positives are, camera focus seems to be better, the knockon is much more responsive and the notification bar is transparent. So overall good update except for the soft keys.
Lemme knw if anyone else got it.. Cheers!!

KK is so old and were talking new features?? Oh wait its old on my N7, I dont have KK on my Verizon G2 yet.
Its Pretty sad..... I dont even have KK yet on my G2 and I am already debating on which new phone I am going to grab soon, the LG G3 or the HTC one M8. I had the last HTC One, HTC has been kicking ass releasing updates thats for sure!!
no kitkat in UK yet, its a joke, this is supposed to be a flagship product, the G3 will be released soon and lg will just take a massive dump on the G2 and leave it full of bugs.
This is a futuristic thread! I'm also hoping for kitkat someday on the LS980.

Yeah. Every leak makes the htc look better and better. Seems if you want updates on Verizon you need a galaxy or moto.

I got my LG G2 on September 20 2013 at AT&T, paid $540.00 regular price for it. My G2 runs stock AT&T, not rooted. Never a problem before the official 4.4.2 Kit Kat upgrade via OTA. The good after the upgrade; transparent notification bar, super battery duration, faster internet use. The bad after Kit Kat; I have to use zoom to open my apps at Google Play Store, now they don't opens the normal way. Knock on to open the screen is gone dead.

It sounds to me that you got a corrupted upgrade. I have had no issues with kk, and the knock on feature is around 2x faster than previous. Maybe you should call ATT and have them fix your phone

Official AT&T OTA upgrade corrupted ? This guys are Saints, or I'm wrong. Ha, ha, no my friend. I already go to AT&T store, this is the store where I open my account four years ago, where I bought my first android phone HTC ONE X, my second one HTC ONE X+ with 64GB internal memory, my third one HTC ONE, my current LG G2. I explain the situation and they said “ What ? ”, ha, ha, Land of IPhone this AT&T guys. They're really nice, but don't know nothing about Android. They said " let's take your G2 away just to fixed it, you can go with this freaking IPhone for some days ”. No way, my G2 is great even without knock on screen. I decided just wait for the release of the LG G3 or go for the Samsung Galaxy S5. Don't make a decision yet, will see. But one thing is clear like butter on bread, AT&T is IPhone Land. This guys are nice but don't even know of the existence of XDA, Android Central, or any other Android forum.

Here's a very important one, in my view, possibly a breakthrough for Android. With KitKat, there is virtually no lag when answering calls. I can swipe the Answer button, speak instantly and be heard. I'm coming from an S3 mini which had at least one second of silence after answering calls, so I'm excited about this.
There was not much lag to speak of in 4.2.2 anyway, but now it's completely gone.

Battery dies super fast, and weird random data issues... other than that, no improvements. Anyone know if it's still possible to put 4.2 back on the Tmo D801?
Ffs I don't want kitkat update now, we have better developers on xda than lg seem to have.

I love how much better my battery life has become, as well as google maps now functioning proper on bluetooth with turn by turn instructions whilst listening to music.
Before bluetooth and location would drain in 1,5 hours even while charging, now it doesnt anymore.
Its faster, feels more stable and all without debloating. I love it. A week in using.

Well this was expected sooner or later since F320L got update with Knock Code and Immersive mode. As it was when the kitkat update was rolling out, D800 first got it, then D801, and then D802 International version. Hope D802 get's it soon, because I don't want put any custom ROM to get Immersive mode

nope. went back to completely stock. after 3 or 4 factory resets and live chat with ATT i tried a last factory reset and checked it with data on not wifi. it showed the update so i connected to wifi, and i got it.
it seemed to only work without doing the gmail account and stuff. weird??
but on a different note, it hasnt been released yet. so ill be remaining stock for the update whuch should be happening very soon i hope....
LG France has revealed that there is update to be expected for D802 which fixes hissing sound in earplugs, however no information about knock code though.
Since my phone is damaged and touchscreen isn't functioning, Knock-Code isn't my interest anymore but wish you guys enjoy it.

I think that he is talking about the LG implementation included in the Korean version which lets you choose to enable immersive mode in any app.

its stating that ATT is promising us more with performance and battery life. knock code is part of the update.please read the link in the op
If you believe what ATT promising things, especially "better battery", you will be very disappointed.

Yes as i posted above i have confirmed that there is no update as of yet. Hopefully it will be happening soon. Its okay cause i needed to return to atock unrooted. Actually enjoying it now with no issues that i was having previously
Good news but for Vodafone Spain and they already realease an update 20b and Knock Code works like a charm. No Bluetooth bug and no Hising noise! =)
Edit: if you root it knock code still works, but when you install the recovery with autorec knock code doesn't work properly. And also we lose the feature knock on.
Also when I flashed it via pc I couldn't do a hard.reset with the.combo buttons. So I did it.via settings.
Cheers

So today I read that the galaxy alpha is on Samsungs short to list, for receiving the android m update. Great news I guess, for alpha owners. I thought that support for alpha also was discontinued, with the decision to stop distributing alpha phones. Perhaps they mean a3/5/7 as in galaxy alpha series, I'm not sure.
Source
http://m.gsmarena.com/infographic_d...ndroid_m_update_will_look_like-news-13581.php
A series has nothing to do with the Alpha.
I'm not surprised we will get the android M, I would be furious if we DON'T get android M!
The alpha is an almost flagship, it's introductionprice was high enough so it deserves at least 18months of updates.
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::crying::crying::crying::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: seriously????

And i'm still sitting here with 4.4.4
I got the SM-G850F with Vodafone, Germany
Is there anything that i can do?! Thats so annoying
Looks like the rollout of lollipop has stopped. the last firmware released, is already a few weeks ago. (maybe because of bugs/issues?)
I think the first 5.1.1 will come soon now.

Download 5.0.2 firmware from Sammobile and flash it with Odin.
I'll bet my soul the Alpha won't see M before Summer next year, it one of the forgotten phones from Samsung along with the Note 4 that now only just getting 5.1.1.
Tbh i wouldn't be suprised if they turn around at a later date and say the Alpha won't be getting Marshmallow.

Network standby costs a high percentage of the battery, find some solution that need to modify the adb to fix it, it is very complex.
The z3c was updated in March.
End of December if you ask me. Telstra will give the z4 tab update in january so it is safe to say that we will get it in December
I'm betting on a January release timeframe but this is not based on any source. We do know that they're already testing Marshmellow on Z3 and Z3c models in limited beta so at least we know they've already started.

How does Telstra (Australia) have anything to do with the general Z5C Marshmallow ETA, unless they are your Telco?
The other 99.9% of Z5C users will have zero interest in when Telstra decide to "give" an update anything.
Hopefully non branded Marshmallow will arrive prior to the end of the year.
Bruh. Branded firmwares get the update AFTER the unbranded ones usually. So that's what I meant. So Telstra giving an update does matter

He shared that information to estimate a possibility range for the Z5C.
If a carrier is going to release 6.0 in January for another Sony device, You could assume that the OTA for the Z5C/Z5, current flagships, (in general) will be before January.

Sorry, Being a bit harsh. I wouldn't rely on a Telstra estimate thats all. If the Sony OTA is delayed, Telstra will simply kick the ball down the road.
Yes that's also true. Since the carriers doesn't have the final word for an update.

To be honest, you're not missing anything ground breaking although I must admit almost everything that's different is a nice change. My one big exception:
Y the truck did they switch which side they put the time on? Ridiculous.
That said, the upgrade was the smoothest I think I've ever experienced for any OS, desktop or mobile, ever.
I run the Nova Launcher and the update has not interfered with that at all. So my preferred tweaks, apart from moving the bloody time, have all been preserved.
Perhaps the biggest promised feature I'd like to think will be legitimate is battery saving. No real indication of any ground breaking changes there so far though it's only been 24 hours ?
I do understand that it's not fun to be kept waiting and feel a bit left behind.

It was a false alarm. anyway. The EQ was always there, but only shown, when your your earphones were plugged in. If you disconnect your earphones it disappears right away.
