I've given up on rooting. I do wonder what effect Oreo will have on the battery life.
We shall see!

Okay, so now it's in the "Manufacturer Development" stage. Has anyone followed these (or have inside knowledge) enough to know how long, roughly, the timeframe of these stages take?
No idea here ... but I do know they only recently added the V30 to the Oreo list .... when it was clearly out for months in Korea.
So I wouldnt gamble on a timeframe for release - just that we will get it sometime.

Mind you even as a new device and updates in korea nothing was listed as it being able to be updated on the tmobile support page.
When I asked a customer service rep about it the said "we get our info from the manufacture"
At this point it will be my last ever phone purchased thru t-mobile. Not that they care about original customers at all. They are more interested in snagging people from the other 3 carriers.

Not great news for you guys https://www.phonearena.com/news/T-Mobile-LG-V30-Android-8.0-Oreo-update-delayed_id104125
I would take this article with a grain of salt. The only evidence they show is the original tweet with RedOregon69 from the 5th. Based on the original tweet, we should see the update this week.

What's funny about the whole thing is that Phone Arena posted a story on April 7th by a different writer with the same Twitter conversation and it showed the dates of the conversation on Twitter. It proves that they are just regurgitating old stores and spinning them for clicks which is a big fat fail in my book. It also seems they are biased against T-mobile from looking through some of their other stuff.
What's sad is that Android Authority cited Phone Arena's story. That is another failure. Tech blogs are just copying each other's stories instead actually giving us useful information. I called Phone Arena and Android Authority out on the lack of actually checking stories and their failure to post legitimate news, not that they will fo anything about it.
I know now who not to trust for phone information and these losers top the list.

I was thinking it would be a OTA updated but I guess they literally unboxed hundreds of thousands of phones to do what we wanted them to do...

Idk, I have a hard time believing they unboxed every phone to update its bootloader, but I guess we will know when our phones arrive if that had been the case, I think they'll be locked when we get them... we're talking millions of phones here.

hmm, well its a lot of phones... its not like its just a 5,000 phones (which is a lot all in itself)
and as far as dates go, that **** can get silly, the galaxy s vibrant was a bit screwed up for some people, volume rocker wasn't helping us get to recovery like it was supposed too.. and there was a whole big date time of frame where people thought it was the issue, and the dates were really odd.. def more than a week or two old before they were received.
Yeah I'm not saying the manufactured dates are all correct I also remember the vibrant button recovery problem
But if it was suppose to launch the 4th of June and now the 24th its not that unreasonably for them to do it...
When I worked at a plastic factory and a company sent back " bad or faulty" parts we would rework them in days where talking millions of parts...
They have the unlock codes and thousands of employees to do it... honestly in a 12 hour shift a single person could do a few thousand phones alone. Now times that by a thousand employees and a few weeks its done in no time

I would highly doubt that is the reason for the delay and to be honest, no one said the EVO 3d was delayed except for people posting bogus dates on this site.
It is not like Sprint said the EVO 3d is getting released on June 4th. It was all speculation that it was being released the same day as the original EVO and I have yet to see anything from Sprint that says otherwise.

HTC just released the phone to the FCC

The word "backtracked" meant they back tracked on policy. Before open bootloaders, then locked bootloaders, backtracked to open It will be locked when released, a OTA will fix it OR a "leak". Perhaps it may be unlocked when released, due to the real release date, when ever that is. It was never coming on June 4th like everyone hoped/dreamed. I mean it is just now getting sent to the FCC, you think they delayed sending off to the FCC for a bootloader? lol
Reality Sucks!
Just because they "back tracked" on the e3d DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE UNBOXING ALL THOSE PHONES. It very well could mean they backtracked their thought process and it'll still be OTA. because it also states the "back tracking effect future phones. So I doubt for fun they are going to lock those bootloaders, package them and then un box them. just to unlock the boot loader. It didn't say that was the cause of the phone not being out or even a delay.
Folks this phone is coming when it's coming. I doubt there has even been so much as a delay. people really need to settle down. Its coming. HTC said so Sprint said so, and the FCC has paper work.

how do we know these phones were all boxed to begin with? more more speculation. Everywhere here just assumes they were. I doubt they box them up 5 weeks ahead of time just to sit around. HTC Sprint want this out as soon as possible (hopefully while making sure its a finished product) so they can start to pay for the R&D
God,i can't wait for the dev section. So I dont have to read this garbage anymore.

For a mobile blog they sure are behind with the news cycle...
Like others have said, there is NOTHING in this article that hasn't already been previously stated. The cost to HTC to fully backtrack the hardware already in the channel and NOT issue the update via OTA would be a joke.
Everybody just needs to chill out, be cool. We're all gonna be a bunch of Fonzies here.
BTW, the HTC EVO 3D is in the suitcase. Ringo gets greedy like some of us on this board, doesn't know how to be cool. Then we get into these stalemates.

Like I said before I know phones are not boxed 3 months before ... i just picked up a brand new white evo with a manufactured date of 1/17/11
A year old phone and the assumption that is was boxed for 3 months and sat on the shelf for another 3 months makes since.
But i also had 3 g2x's on launch day 4/15-4/25 all with dates close to a week before that.
I know Everything is speculation up until Sprint releases a real date.
A lot of us are sick of pointless triple posted threads with the same info.
This is some what "new ****" so before getting up on that high horse and telling people to stop posted crap you don't wanna read. And you can't wait for the Dev. Section.
why don't you point the finger back at your self and ask, why the **** you keep lurking the general section of a phone that doesn't have a official release date.

Exactly, it confirms what people were told by a company that is not ASUS. This is like fourth hand at this point.
It says nothing about whether or not the wifi angle is true, or if it affects all NA suppliers, or what.

Well obviously we NEVER get any official word from Asus. So rumours are all we can rely on.

You can speculate all you want, that's all there really is to do on an enthusiast forum before the device is released, but presenting speculation as fact... THAT is stupid, and that's the problem here and with the androidcentral article.
The blogger states he is using a review unit. If you follow the link, he did a full review here:
http://www.androidcentral.com/asus-transformer-prime-review
There is some serious denial and fanboism here. First, some say that reviewers would be commenting on the Wifi issues if there were any Wifi issues. Then when the reviewers do just that, there is more denial.
It is correct that this issue may not show up in retail units, but this review is completely relevant, unless you prefer to bury your head in the sand.
Oh well. Works for me. Since I figured I wouldn't get once after I didn't preorder, I got a Galaxy S2 last nite. I'll get the Prime whenever it releases.
I did add "may" be delayed lol on the OP. Dont get all your panties in a bunch. If this rumor holds to be true i wouldnt mind having to wait after my experience with a borked wiFi ipad2 i received during its own initial launch.

I feel the same way. The so called readers who tipped them were probably the people here that are whining about some rumor. Honestly getting tired of seeimg these pointless threads. A form of trolling in a sense. A lot of members here must work for apple or competing companies cuz lots of newer members/low post counts have been trying to down the device, find something to complain about, or scare people away from device by title of threads which are misleading. Nothing from this Android source confirms anything. Even they said the signal strength seemed a lil lower but no major issue for them. Plus they got their info from readers, more than like forum members reading rumor/hype articles and threads...SMH
Mod should delete this thread.
The article was updated and apparently ASUS responded and said there wan't a delay and that the 19th was still the expected release date.

This device has awesome specs and is the bastard brother of the Nexus 4. Its not going anywhere soon. I wouldnt count on waiting for LG. You are much better off waiting for the Devs and going with a ROM.
I've read, from multiple sources, that the Optimus G will be getting JB shortly. Most likely Q1 next year, with the Korean version getting it in December. It's coming, oh yes...it's coming.
Here is an article in Yahoo news that states that LG has the OG with a December timeline. Now, taking into consideration that sometimes "stuff" happens, lets be realistic in saying January 2013. If it happens in December though... that would be my Christmas gift.
Disclaimer: I have only had my OG for a couple days and have not read extensively. If there is anything else published after this article refuting the timeline, my apologies.

I believe so. Bottom line for me is that it is worth the wait IMO.
Don't buy a device based on upgrade promise from manufactures or carriers. But it based on developer support. I have Note 2 and will be turning for optimus g since this one is now unlocked and we can never worry about waiting for updates from useless carriers.

A number of blogs/tech sites are saying invitations have been sent out for a "Google Play" event in New York tomorrow (24th October) at 19.00hrs local time (0:00hrs 25th October BST (UK time)). That part seems to be definite.
Tech Radar say that they were told by Google it was just a meet & greet event, so no launches. But what some others are saying is that Kitkat 4.4, Nexus 5 & Nexus 10 2 might be launched at this event. Kitkat I think is an outside possibility, Nexus 5 & Nexus 10 2 not so much.
So far we have only rumours/speculation as to when these products (& OS) might be launched. I'm not stating this as gospel. But I thought it worth posting just in case even if it is only for Kitkat. And people would at least be forewarned in case they live stream it.

Sorry but these websites (IBTimes, Christian Post, etc) it's referring to are little better than a webcrawler putting together information that looks kind of like an article. They frequently just make up random crap to get clicks for their site and vicariously, ads. I would wait for a site such as android central or droid life to make some kind of announcement. As of right now, all official information is that the event will feature no news at all, and is just a small get together.

Oh there's nothing wrong with that. I'm doing the same thing. I wish they'd turn around and say "psych! Everything will will be there! But I don't see them doing that.
Now that Apple has released the iPad Air, it puts them on the defensive end though. The more time that passes, the more likely people will overlook the Nexus 10. I'm not entirely sure Google cares though. They've already infiltrated the Apple ecosystem with most of their apps. Google's strategy is certainly one of slow, constant persistence. These tablets and phones are a kickback to people who support them I think, not a direct competitor with any other brands tablets. That's how it seems to me anyways.
Hopefully they don't keep us waiting too long. I sold the N10 in anticipation for this, and I've been waiting patiently for a while now. Come on Google.... don't wander into the world of Valve time....
We;; is 8:38 and no news about the event. It hasn't been streamed on youtube like other times and thers no updated blog about it either. Also theres been lots of errors with google services today? Coincidence? or could they have had some issues? Hopefully we'll know what went on in the conference by tomorrow but it most likely wan't any of the devices since it wasn't public.
Very suspicious that we've heard nothing I think.
I wonder if they did something huge and its all under embargo until a certain time?
Its quite odd to not hear anything from any of the major tech sites.

One of the "friends" that were invited made it sound like all they did was hang out with a bunch of other Google employees according to an article I read but why would they send out invites for that. I agree with u and I think they're planning something big and bribing the sites to stay quiet

I think you might both be being sarcastic.

P.S I have just let go of that very short straw I was holding. No Nexus 10 2 clues. No Kitkat insights..... Woe is me.

Ignore me I'm paronoid (& was 1/2 joking any way). Seen this....... curiouser & curiouser. http://www.geekosystem.com/google-play/
I didn’t break an NDA. The Google Play team didn’t think I would react the way I did when I got the invitation, and neglected to include some kind of note asking me not to share it.

a lot of speculators figured that Google engineered all of this on purpose to generate buzz in anticipation for their actual release event three days from now.

And some sites are saying it'll be the 31st of November not the 28th.

My Conversation with the LG Rep
Should be noted that a random CS rep probably shouldn't be cited as an official announcement.
Sent from my G2
This sounds promising, however you did kind of pressure the guy until you received the answer you were looking for...
He initially said there is no ETA, but then contradicted himself later after your repeatedly asked the same question.
Here's hoping.
If CS know, then why can't LG just announce it though is my worry.
He probably doesnt even realize your talking about 4.4, and not 4.3.
I am hoping he is right believe me...but I would bet my house on us not getting 4.4 before November ends lol (hope I'm wrong)

Even though he specifically does say not 4.3 and about 4.4?
If there's one thing I learned from all these years interacting with CS reps, it's that you take whatever they say with a massive pinch of salt.

Haha yah no... But it will get 4.4 just a matter of when
Your crazy if u believe that rep.or just have to be the most gullible cobsumer ever
Pinch of salt? How about a truckload of salt1
Rule of thumb - CS reps are ALWAYS wrong. That chat is the exact opposite of a confirmation.

LoL. I can believe you wasted your time but why some poor sap who didn't deserve you ignoring his response of "no eta". It will come when it comes and if it comes before the end of 2013 I'll give you $5 usd
If ANY OEM out there should release Kitkat early for their flagship device it should be LG since they worked closely with google on this nexus and the last one. Its time they learn how to properly support their devices.

He probably thought about the actual chocolate kitkat.
Even if LG had its ducks in a row, carriers will make their ugly presence felt by delaying the crap out of them. Carrier testing for WP8 GDR2 took several months.
Can't read. Coded in Minecraft......
Hopefully it does come though.

No disrespect, but that has to be one of the most embarrassing chats that I have ever seen. Just how you kept asking the same question over and over and then the poor agent who is probably making minimum wage or close to it just tells you what you want to hear after he clearly says that he doesn't know and didn't have an eta.
And you are saying confirmed by LG? Hahahaha.
Yes. It will be out in november, 2014

Spoke to an LG honcho from India. He didn't say end of November but end of the year and confirmed he meant 2013 (I checked if he meant end of 2014/5/6), at least for the International edition. LG's prestige is riding on it, so I wouldn't expect them to delay too much.
I'm predicting February 4.4 KitKat OTA.
We also have some kit kat features
Full emoji suport and full screen notifications pull down. Just waitting for kit kat for autohide softkejys
I think it's plausible considering LG has been sitting on 4.4 for a long time while developing the Nexus 5. Likely? Probably not. Plausible? Sure.
