ANDROID Lollipop for LG G2 general discussion (news&leaks&problems&expectations)
LG G2 Android 5.0 Lollipop Update Confirmed, Could Arrive Early 2015
Android 5.0 Lollipop was officially announced earlier this month and since then many Android OMEs revealed their plans to update their devices to the new Android version. LG Germany revealed in a post on their Facebook page that the LG G2 Android 5.0 Lollipop update is coming.
The said post was actually made to announce that the update for LG G3 will arrive in the last quarter of the year, but it also mentioned about the company’s flagship smartphone from last year. It says that the Android 5.0 Lollipop for LG G2 “will follow,” which might mean early 2015.
We are glad to see that LG is not forgetting about the owners of “older” devices. I am sure that the LG G2 Android 5.0 Lollipop update will be warmly welcomed by everybody.
As you may know, Android 5.0 is the biggest update Google’s mobile platform has received since its debut. It’s even bigger than the jump from Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich. The new Android iteration arrives with redesigned notifications panel and quick settings, it brings lock screen notifications, battery saver mode, multi-user support for phones, a new design philosophy called Material design, a dynamic status bar, revised recents screen, support for 64-bit processor, Android Runtime (ART), and many more.
What are your expectations for the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for LG G2? Please let us know in the comments section below.

yet another Lollypop thread? c'mon
I truly expect my G2 phone, after update to L, will "suddenly" become 6", QHD screen with 3.0GHz processor and 4GB or RAM and battery lasts 2 weeks with moderate use.
Wait ............. not doable? If so, I expect nothing then.
Sad!

JOSH L. / 3 DAYS AGO
Samsung has been, slowly but surely, dishing out the long-awaited Marshmallow update to all eligible smartphones in its 2015/2016 lineup, and it now looks like the Galaxy A8 will be the next major handset to receive the firmware as the device has just been granted Wi-Fi Certification running the latest build of Android 6.0.1.
Typically, once a device passes through the Wi-Fi Certification facility and receives approval for an upgrade, manufacturers start pushing out an OTA within just one-to-two weeks — so if you own a Galaxy A8, you shouldn’t have too much longer to wait until you can start playing around with all the new functionality Marshmallow has to offer.

Wi-Fi Certification Certificate
A9000 got today, firmware can be downloaded from sammobile!
Nice.I wait For it.
Hope to see the marshmallow to A3 phones as well!
Any news about MM for A8 ?
samsung is as usual slow in updating its mobiles.. they r always concerned with the flagship handsets update and delay the other important ones. we should be more thankful to the devs here who really strive hard day and night to give us the best software and support.
NO UPDATE AFTER WIFI CERTIFICATION FROM SAMSUNG FOR 6.0.1 UPDATE TO A8.

What version and security update is it?
Huge update at 1.5 GB. Switches a lot between LTE+ and LTE status. Device supports HD Voice but downgrades phone calls now from H+ to only 3G? I have noticed that shutdown time is quicker, but boot time is slower due to new enhanced start-up graphics. Battery life seems to drain quicker now. Not impressed with this new update. Plus it's only Nougat 7.0, and not 7.1. This is on the Bell Canada network.

Version 7.0, security version dated November 1, 2016. I'm not rooted and not BL unlocked.
After a day's use seems stable which is nice. To me the most obvious change is the multi window capability...Haven't tried the VR stuff. Battery performance doesn't feel like it's different than before so I don't know if the more aggressive Doze ability of Nougat is making a noticeable difference yet. Interesting coments in the previous post about the switching LTE bands and voice over 3g....I didn't even know to watch for that but if this is happening on my device, it hasn't affected me negatively. More to observe over the next few days.
My Bell Moto Z
Bell pushed 7.0 to me but the security patch level is showing January 1, 2017
I noticed that the battery drains quicker on 7.0 but I only had it on MM for 3 days before I accepted the OTA update.
Hi, I was wondering for people who have own various Xiaomi phones. How are they on OS updates and Security updates?

They have weekly ROM updates for those who want to opt-in to the developer builds.
Stable builds are at their own discretion.
They're not amazing, but better than many.
Security updates is another story. They're a bit slow with them, though I think that varies per device (Redmi is budget so gets low priority).
Poco is a new brand trying to go global though, so hopefully it's better than other devices (not sure how security updates are on the flagship Mi series)
After one or two months most of the people will shift to some or the other custom rom. So there won't be any problem with the security updates and normal OS upgrades. My Mi3 was released with KitKat now it's running Android Pie

I assume he's asking about *Xiaomi* updates, the official ROM. Of course you can just install custom ROM's to get latest updates unofficially - but that makes the question moot.

Beta ROM updates are very fast both security n OS updates.
Stable updates within the same OS version are faster too. But OS upgrade need a bit waiting time as OS integrating to MIUI takes time.
Poco I expect faster updates due to treble support.
FYI:
Mix 2S of xiaomi already has Android 9 beta update.
very bad on stock roms stuck to old OS builds for mid range phones but on flagships very fast like blyat cyka rush b
I have used Redmi 2, Redmi 2 Prime, Redmi Note 3/4/5, Redmi 3S/prime and only Redmi 2 and Redmi Note 3 as my daily driver.
Those things taught the following:
Don't except updates from Xiaomi, not even security patches, although they have started providing patches on Note series but they are always late, so patches may arrive but not when you expect them.
You may not get the latest features even if you have the latest android version on your MIUI, why? because Xiaomi wants to provide same features to all the phones so that phones running on Kitkat will have the same feature as phone running on Oreo, this makes their software development easy, that means that the feature that you are using doesn't have native support and may be buggy and battery hogging.
There are two channels in MIUI - Beta Channel and StableChannel. Stable channel update is provided every 4-5 months or whenever they feel like or to fix a very important bug. Beta channel was previously bimonthly but I have heard that now, it's changed. Due to this, they don't fix bugs properly and instead introduce more bugs in the system
Their update size are generally 500MB-1.5GB but the fixes are things like: Calender icon changed, Button of some subforum in MIUI forum app changed, New Ringtones and every useless things, then in the end *Bug Fixes* but they don't mention which one. Out of every 10 beta updates only 1 or 2 updates are useful while others are just formality.
Now, note this, other companies give update to keep your phone running for longer amount of time. Xiaomi thinks different, they will wreck your device with every update they provide.
When I had Redmi Note 3, Beta channel was more better and more stable than the Stable channel, I am not lying go check the forums.
There is no major change in MIUI 7-9 the first major change I saw was MIUI6 - MIUI 7 after that all changes were just useless and they everytime just change notification shade style.
MIUI 10 - Notification shade now looks like a copy of iPhone and it's really very cheap act by Xiaomi, although their App switcher is somewhat cool.
Custom ROM:
Xiaomi phones works best with stock android and indeed has the best development support. But there are few catches.
Not all features work in custom ROM, you will have to leave one or two things if you want to use custom ROM.
The famous and best developers will not port VOLTE if their cell providers don't provide it
Camera (on Xiaomi phones) doesn't works well on custom ROMS.
Xiaomi does provide kernel but they don't provide a lot of proprietary codes and binaries that ensures smooth functioning of phones.
Don't buy the phone if you want to get updates unless it's Chinese, they do care about Chinese people unlike their global counterpart, or those people who develop global roms are arseheads.
All the above points can be confirmed on MIUI forums and XDA, if anyone says that even one of the point(s) is wrong, he is probably new in Xiaomi's world.
Redmi is the cheap line and they get late updates and bugs are not fixed properly. Mi is the expensive line of Xiaomi so they get proper update in first few months and after that they are also neglected. Since Poco is also a cheap but is a flagship, they will get good number of updates and fixes for few months then they will announce another phone and Poco will be neglected, and people who are saying that Poco has a different team may be wrong, I don't think Xioami will divide the team because internally it uses the same MIUI as others only launcher is different. For world Poco is a brand, for Xiaomi it's yet another phone.
Depends. My Mi3 got updated from kitkat to Marshmallow while my mi tab 1 was still stuck at kitkat with such a laggy interface until I flashed nougat roms with shiels blobs which made the tab as smooth as my oneplus 3. So MIUI sucks and they don't update android versions when they update their miui version. So buy a phone which has strong custom rom support. (Xiaomi models that are sold in India have strong dev support from what I have seen)
Thanks everyone for the info. That gives me a good idea.

Huh? You say it sucks but your Mi 3 got two major updates. How does that suck?
As for tablet, well it's a tablet. Android tablets were always poor selling and are now completely dead anyway (Chrome OS tablets are the future), can't compare phones to tablets.
Samsung is rolling out android 10 for its flagship S series phone ,A series , J series , M series and tab series.
We can't be sure what to expect from this update for our j 4+ because one ui performs very poor. Lets hope it makes the phone little more usable.
Do you have any official Samsung link confirming this?
Since 10 is rolling out to J4 and J4+ still isn't listed... no I don't think so.
