HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Only if the devs decide that the LG G3 is worthy. Let me explain. I just got off the phone with LG and they said they don't support any software (Android) for their phones. They said to call my carrier to find out if there are updates. I asked them about newer versions of Android and they said I would need to talk to the carrier. So I am going to call the carrier and I almost bet that they will say I need to talk to LG. I am calling Sprint now to find out if that is true.

The G3 will get 5.0 don't be ridiculous. Full source for 5.0 isn't even out yet and you're already calling LG and Sprint.
How a member since 2010 could not know this blows my mind.
You're doing nothing but wasting your own time.

First of all I did not call them to find out when they were going to upgrade to 5.0, I am not an idiot. The reason I called is because, since I have owned this device I have not received one update for this phone. I also red in an article that the LG G3 was supposed to get a 4.4.4 update by the end of September.
http://www.androidsas.com/2014/09/lg-g3-to-get-android-444-kitkat-update.html
So while I was on the phone with LG customer service they proceeded to pass the buck to Sprint and Google as if they are not the ones who deal with their own Android updates.
A provider or MFG will not randomly give out information regarding updates. Don't be naive.
Samsung's L version is already in the works and been leaked. LG is obviously developing it's version. I would imagine it will be released by the end of the year. Sprint is usually pretty good at pushing updates to the current year's flagships.

All of that aside, the idea that any front-line support staff from any company is going to have that kind of detailed information from the developers and engineering is just ludicrous. Frontline techs know exactly what is written in their scripts on the computer and nothing more. Why would you even waste time asking them that?

Just a heads up. The customer service rep from LG was just blowing smoke up your ass either because they didn't know or you came across like an ass and they wanted you off the phone.
The way it works is as follows:
Google makes the OS and sends it to the manufactures (LG, Samsung, HTC) where they tweak it for their devices and put in any overlays (Touchwiz, Blur, Sense) before sending it to the carrier. The carrier then tests said OS\devices on their netywork while adding their own bloatware.
IF everything tests with in their liking they will release to the public IF NOT then it goes back to the manufacturer for more tweaking. Wash rinse repeat until you get it.
You can call Sprint and LG support all you like and will likely get different answers depending on who you talk to BUT regardless of who you speak with none of them have a clue at the call center of what is happening when.
Their job is to read a script and do a profile update or whatever is all and then pass it along if they can't get you off the line.
Welcome to smart phones and carriers 101.
The only reason I want LG and Sprint to have an l version someday is we will have a decent build for the devs to take apart. I'm sure there gonna take there time.
This will be on Sprint. And Sprint is VERY slow to roll out any updates. Don't expect it any time soon, unless they feel like they should keep up on their flagship device.

Installed lollipop on my nexus 5, damn is so smooth and all the animations looks really cool, cant wait to see it on the G3, after using my G3 for sometime the nexus feels too small.
Posted by android authority news today
The arrival of a new Android OS version leaves us all asking one big question – will my device receive the update?
To help narrow down your search we have put together a master list of all the devices which will be receiving Android Lollipop at some point in the future. We’ll be updating the list regularly, so if you find a source that confirms another handset will be lucky enough to receive Lollipop, please do let us know.
Without further delay:
HTC
HTC has been pretty open about its update policy and announced that it would be bringing Android Lollipop to its HTC One range within 90 days of the OS’ launch. A leaked roadmap also suggests that Lollipop will be heading to a number of other handsets.
One (M8) – confirmed by HTC
One (M7) – confirmed by HTC
One Mini 2
One Mini – confirmed by HTC
One E8
One Max
Butterfly S
Desire 816
Desire 610
LG
LG has remained tight lipped about its update plans, although numerous sources suggests that its G3 and G2 flagships are in-line for an update at some point. Other devices remain unknown for now.
G3 – rumored but unconfirmed
G2 – rumored but unconfirmed
Motorola
Following the announcement of the Nexus 6, Motorola confirmed that its recent range of handsets would all recieve an update to Lollipop. The following have all been confirmed directly by Motorola.
Moto X (1st Gen. & 2nd Gen.)
Moto G (1st Gen. & 2nd Gen.)
Moto G with 4G LTE
Moto E
Droid Ultra, Droid Maxx, and Droid Mini
Nexus
After releasing details on its new Nexus devices, Google confirmed that handsets and tablets going back to the Nexus 4 would be receiving Lollipop. The latest reports suggest that an OTA update is scheduled for November 3rd 2014.
The Nexus 4, 5, 7 (WiFi & LTE), and Nexus 10 have all been confirmed by Google and the Nexus 6 and 9 will ship with the latest OS. Google mentioned that GPE handsets would also be among the first to receive an update.
OnePlus
With just one handset to maintain, the OnePlus One will see Lollipop within 3 months of the OS’ release.
OnePlus One – confirmed by OnePlus
Samsung
Just like LG, Samsung hasn’t given out any official information regarding handset updates. The only hint we’ve seen of Android 5.0 on a Samsung device comes from a leaked preview build running on the Galaxy S5.
Galaxy S5 – leaked preview
Sony
Sony has announced that it will be bringing Android 5.0 to all Xperia Z devices, not just its flagships. All of the following have been confirmed by Sony, although a timeframe has not been listed.
Xperia Z3
Xperia Z3 Compact
Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact
Xperia Z3v
Xperia Z2
Xperia Z1
Xperia Z1 Compact
Xperia Z
Xperia Tablet Z
Xperia Z Ultra
Xperia ZL
Xperia ZR
Android One
The Karbonn Sparkle V, Micromax Canvas A1, and Spice Dream Uno will receive Android Lollipop “soon” after the full launch of the new version.
Karbonn Sparkle V – guaranteed by Google
Micromax Canvas A1 – guaranteed by Google
Spice Dream Uno – guaranteed by Google
We’ll be updating the list with the latest news when we hear it, so stick this page in your bookmarks. If you have any questions or want to send us a tip about Lollipop updates, head on over to our forums and drop us a line.
I wish LG would take a hint from HTC and Sony when it comes to developer support. HTC learned from their mistakes and Sony has really impressed me(too bad xperia isnt on Sprint).
In any case, LG has gotten better with their updates but Sprint is still slow imo. And when I say better I mean the rumor mill was rampant back on my Lg Optimus G. 4.1.2 was the last update that phone had even though rumors of 4.4 were everywhere for months.
The only reason I want an official 5.0 is for a reason that was already stated(and the same reason I wanted one on the lgog) - a solid base for the devs to work their magic with.
But being on xda does make it a bit of a moot point, the devs will cook something up much sooner then LG/Sprint. Really I just feel bad for those poor fools who have never used xda - they're stuck with whatever they got and have no idea of all the awesome things goin on - or even the true power of the G3.

Sprint has usually been the first ones to release updates compared to the other 3 carries.
And this is why Android gets such a bad rap, if the carriers would take their blinders off and just let the manufacturers update their phones, things wouldnt be so bad. Instead we have to wait for 40 things to happen before our phones get updated to the latest version. Google letting android go to anyone is really what the problem was, licensing out the OS and then letting everyone do what they want with it has really slowed down updates to a crawl. Its honestly getting really stupid and I hope (not that I'm an apple fan by any stretch) that Google eventually just goes the way Apple did and make their OS required to be vanilla on any device that uses it, no more Touchwiz or Blinkfeed or anything else. All those things do is require everyone to get Googles update, tinker with things a bunch until that update now works with their crap overlays and apps and THEN have to worry about the carrier "allowing" the update after all of that is done, its really ridiculous and in this sense, Apple did things right. Google needs to get this under control, when only 25% of your user base is actually on KitKat, its no wonder Apple does so well with the devices and their OS.
So now I get to sit and wait months and months for a proper 5.0 update. Its great that XDA can probably get some things going before that ever hits, but nothing is better than a good ROM designed after the official update

The problem with your post is this.
If Google kept android to themselves then they would be JUST like APPLE. If HTC, Samsung, LG, Motorola or any other android device ran the same vanilla style then every phone would basically be the same. That's why Samsung, HTC, LG, and every other implement things like Touch wiz, Blur or what have you. That way they are not the same and it gives every person a choice unlike Crapple
The bloatware we could all live without

Hi,
do you have any official information, if the tablet s will get an update to android 4?
I found one webpage which says that this will happen, but an official statement would be better.
I really hope ICS comes to the tablet.
Hopeful, as it's coming to the Sony Ericsson Xperia phones
http://www.mobot.net/ice-cream-sandwich-coming-sony-ericsson-androids-31986
Absolutely no reason we wont get it since all sony phones from 2011 will get it...just a matter of when.
Sony will need time to customize 4.0 for the S's features. In that time we'll be seeing Tegra 3 updates to everyone's lines. Not sure Sony wouldn't be better off spending their time getting a Tegra3 S out with 4.0 on it.
Ok thanks.
I hope a Tegra 3 will not come in a month or so, because I want to buy mine today and don´t want to see a new version with tegra 3 in short time.
Unfortunately that's the game we play buying these devices; that best buy commercial was right when people buy a phone only to walk outside and see the billboard for the newer, better device.
I'm pretty positive the Tablet S will get ICS since Sony wants to bolster sales of their first official android tablet on the market. They'd definitely have some happy customers in here!

the tablet is to new not to do it plus tegra 3 is just a beefier verison of tegra 2
If I remember correctly, Google said that ICS was a meld of Honeycomb (tablet only) and the the versions prior to Honeycomb (phone optimized). I believe ICS is similar to iOS in that both tablet and phone can run the same apps (where Honeycomb couldnt run phone apps). So most likely ICS will be coming to most devices (prolly 2010 and older) so all their apps can run on all ICS devices
You're right, it would be in everyone's benefit to put ICS on every device; however, they most likely will only do recent, dual-core phones and tablets because it's up to the manufacturers (HTC, Sony, Samsung) to incorporate ICS into their proprietary OS add-ons. If Sony is listening to its consumer base, however, they'll definitely update the Tablet S.
And yes, it's a way of merging phone and tablet OS's. It looks pretty much like honeycomb with some graphical tweaks and useability improvements.
I asked the same question in the Sony Forums. The mods there work with the engineers at Sony.
https://forum.sel.sony.com/viewtopic.php?f=109&t=11480
Show some interest and maybe we'll make it happen, sooner rather than later.

For what it's worth, Sony Style employees are confirming the upgrade. I would be more comfortable seeing an official announcement though.
ICS Is coming just can't say when, there will be a minor update this friday, then another one in December, i'd expect 4.0 in the new year though, maybe as late as March.
definitely. but the asus transformer prime doesnt bother me cause i had a transformer before and the quality is terrible.
I read that there definetly will be an Update to Android 4.0. I hope it will come at Christmas

This seems the most likely expectation. ICS Source has only recently been released for manufacturers to impliment the code to their devices.

Does anyone know when the tablet P will be released in Australia ? The Sony site only shows the S
Has the P been released anywhere ?
Will it have ICS on it by default ?
Also when is the 3G S going to be released
Thanks
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=sony+tablet+p
It's on sale in the UK and should be other places soon, doesn't ship with ICS.
3G is also on the way.

I think Sony should provide some idea about if and when these devices will be upgraded to ICS
I had a chat conversation with Sony today and was told that Sony engineers were working with Google to bring ICS to the Sony Tablet S. I was overjoyed.
I could have told you that.... I'm anxious to start hearing actual dates.
For everyone that had a parent that would smack them one minute then hug them the next, I dare you to read on...

I think Phandroid is off base here. Jason Mackenzie's tweet mentions the T-Mobile HTC One specifically, not the DNA. Then @AndrewGriffitt asks when the DNA will get its update, and Mackenzie responds with the December time frame, but nowhere does he mention that it will be 4.3. The DNA's update is 4.2 (4.2.2?) according to what we've last heard from Verizon, and now it sounds like that update won't come till December.
Am I reading this wrong? Or should I be expecting 4.3 now?

I think @jasonmacHTC mentioned in earlier tweets that the next update for the DNA will be the 4.2 update w/ Sense 5.0. I don't think there is an ETA on the 4.3 update with Sense 5.5. I think that's HTC's plan (based on rumors I've read)....eventually, but it definitely won't be this year. This year, its all about 4.2 and Sense 5.0
Big Red
I think HTC would slap 4.3 on it today if Verizon would let them. Verizon has to add Navigator and all that other stuff. Look at the ONE. Verizon is the last to update. I've learned that updates don't come with Verizon. I don't root my phones so I just live with what I bought. If I happen to get an update then that's all the better. Verizon still lists this phone at $199. They treat it like a flip phone.
it's pretty basic really. Verizon is in the phone business, they want to sell phones and contracts. If they update our phones to the latest and greatest well then we wouldn't want to change our phones every two years. Android is basically the same across all phones minus the hardware and camera tweaks. So I'm running Sense 5 on my phone and I have access to features that are only on the HTC One like Zoe... Why would I swap my phone for a One at this point? I wouldn't.... see my point? Can't really blame Verizon for their business model. So we root and load ports and AOSP ROMs to get the latest features Verizon refuses to provide so they can make a few extra phone sales and extend some contracts.
I'm still only going to expect a 4.2/4.2.2 update with some iteration of Sense 5 by the year's end (hopefully). Until some new information comes to light anyway.
I also fully expect that to be the final OTA of any significance for this phone, knowing Verizon.

I would rather have a faster processor with more RAM than a 2 year old phone running the newest version of Android. I'll take speed over a revamped app drawer anyday. An update to Android (yipeee!) isnt going to make me want to hang on to an old phone at the rate that this cell phone technology improves. I wouldnt swap my DNA for a One either. But for a LG G2, a Note 3, a One Max, maybe!
" So we root and load ports and AOSP ROMs to get the latest features Verizon refuses to provide so they can make a few extra phone sales and extend some contracts."
Exactly. It's Verizon's genius business model that fuels all of this, or a lot of it anyway.

But even the technology spread to the phones you mention are not that far off the hardware we already have. I think we will start to see a small plateau on hardware improvement for a little while until new architecture comes out like 64bit processors (like the iPhone 5s) So at this point software and camera features will start to be the real selling point for phones

I see what your saying. I guess I just miss the days when every year you could look forward to something new. That and I've always been the type of person that wants the latest and greatest, within reason of course, not one of these I-sheep standing in line for a new I-phone, or paying too much as a early adopter. Lol.
When my Droid X's contract was up last October, it seemed like a dinosaur in comparison to what was out, the S3 being the cream at the time. Then when I heard about the DNA I was hyped. 1080p, wireless charging, great processor, etc. I got it for $120 online and was happy as heck. Still seems quick and the video looks superb.

Hopefully someone will be able to port it. Seems like that's all we ever wait on is a port.
It is now official! Android L will now be called Android Lollipop and the Nexus 6 is going to be a beast of a phone!!!! So what are your thoughts on the new release and how do you guys think it will affect the LG G2? :fingers-crossed:
Was considering jumping to the N6, but at those prices... haha no.
Hello G2, you're my new best friend. Sticking with the G2, and eagerly awaiting development whenever google decides to drop source. I should learn how to compile and build roms when i go back to Canada...

Maybe in a year or two
I just got my G2 a few weeks ago and I'm loving it! Didn't go for G3 since It was out of the budget. Being a proud owner of a Nexus One and 7 (2012) I'd love to get a Nexus 6. But I'll wait a year or two when budget may allow or upgrade wife's phone to a Nexus 6
I was all set for upgrading to N6, but wow. Flagship price indeed. Will think about it. At that price range, I can go for a Note 4 or Z3, G3. There's no shortage of options. Nexus was always a favorite because of the price, but this...doesn't feel like a nexus.
The g2 is ultimately the nexus 5 for us Verizon gnex guys. In terms of development and specs, the g2 is where it's at. The n6 is just too steep in $$$$.
Nexus 6 is too expensive for my tastes...
Transmitted via Geass
I first was so excited for the next nexus, willing to buy it as soon as it's available. But then I thought about it again. The screen of the LG G2 is totally enough, and the size is at the maximum for me. Gonna keep this phone so far, hope to see some updates soon, G3 design and Android l.
I hope to see a Google Experience rom for LG G2 D802.
I don't want to buy the new Nexus 6, I think LG G2 is a great smartphone!
I saw some interesting asian forum with a lot of rom for D802..
Only waiting for LG to push android L. Sorry to say this but only a fool would invest in a new phone if they already have a G2. Perfect size, yea, neither too big nor small. A ton of features and big battery to back it up, check. Plus, great CPU power. G2 remains the best phone on the market.

I Love my g2 is a fact. Nexus 6 have a dual front speaker, but the price.....565 euros???? I buy another flashgrip of Samsung, Lg. ..

Not interested in replacing my G2 any time soon but after using the L preview for the last couple months on my nexus 4, I REALLY want it now on my G2.
Nexus 9 though is looking mighty joocy and am considering getting one to replace my old 2012 N7.
I'm hoping the Nexus 6 will be available on some operators in Ireland. It's a tad expensive to buy sim free. I was planning on upgrading to the Note 4 and selling it straightaway to fund the Nexus 6 but I'm not sure.
No operators offered the Nexus 4 or 5 in Ireland so I'm thinking it may be the same this time around but hope I'm wrong.
I dont think its going to take until December for us to see an L rom. My verizon s3 had an unofficial kitkat build by november. Not even a month. This leads me to believe that we should see an L build about a month or so later, that is if we dont run into any major roadblocks such as the new baseband doesnt work on aosp LTE. Anyways, I'm jumping out of my seat for L
Hoping that since the N5 is a sister device to the G2 porting goes well.
Should I just give up hope our does anyone still believe it's coming tomorrow?

I doubt it, called and talked to their senior cust support and they have no idea and no data showing update is coming.
Z3v is a good phone, but I might just buy nexus 6 or the new moto X pure edition (coming 9/3) because VZ got no control of the firmware update over those devices

It's really quick that tomorrow is the last day and yet no update. That already set me in motion to really go ahead with the upgrade. $310 towards the Z4v, and it's everything that should've been promised to us 10 months ago.
What's a troubling fact like everyone else has said is even the support for the Z4v. They had much launch details last year of the coming Z3v but totally abandoned it 89 days later. There is less promotion for the Z4v this year with only that promotional website being up to support it, and no changes to the Sony Mobile site or Xperia channel on YouTube. It's scary...
I'm about to give up on Sony due to lack of updates and lack of new styles. I bought the Z3v last year because I wanted to try something different, but I also knew going in that it was like the Z2. The overall experience wasn't too bad and it is a decent phone, but Sony has got to up their game if they want to compete.
I won't give up on "Big Red" simply because I have an UDP, but I will never buy their carrier phones again. I may get the Moto X Pure Edition, but no Qi charging might be a deal breaker. I would like my next phone to be at least a 5.5 inch display, 1080p display, Qi charging, 3500 mAH battery, and way less of a fingerprint magnet than this Z3v.

I have the Z3 Tablet Compact and Sony is continually updating it. The Z3v is really all up to the Big Red's problem to not update it. They have problems of some sorts putting their bloatware into their customized Verizon rom. Sony had already handed the update to them a long while ago.

I've given up all hope for this thing getting any update, the rumored LG Nexus 5 will be my next device if it works on Verizon otherwise the Moto X Pure is up next.

The update shows in their system from the beginning of this month. Something prevented then from releasing it. Totally a Verizon issue. The z1s on T-Mobile has lollipop. All other z3 phones got 5.0 then 5.1.
I'm on my way to AT&T

If only Sony made their international variant phones to work with CDMA. Or at least have Verizon move from CDMA to utilize GSM.
I have an HTC M9 that we have now changed to being the "home phone". My wife picked up the Oneplus 3 and I got the Axon 7. Well guess what, my older M9 just got an OTA and updated to nougat..
While my Axon 7 and her oneplus 3 has no release yet (except hers has a beta).. One of the reasons for my Axon 7 purchase was because I thought it would have faster release times but I was wrong apparently. Anyone else feel this way?
I've been very pleased of the hardware of the phone, but the lack of software support is on the verge of me never getting another zte phone again. Wi-Fi calling, which was promised before the phone was released (which was the main reason I convinced my wife we needed new phones) still hasn't come. This is a huge issue to me, and zte has not commented on it for a while now. Very disappointing. They've definitely been dragging their feet on a lot of stuff.
Before we got these phones, we had the moto x pure edition. Great phone in terms of software, and hardware was pretty good for the time. All it was lacking for me to love it was wifi calling. Software updates were a lot slower than I had imagined they would be as well, but overall pretty good.
Yep. The software side of it stinks and is the only thing that lets this phone down. They really need to invest in giving a much better user experience. The phone rocks but the user experience sucks. They should try and stick to android and expand on features instead of trying copy ifeatures like a lot of phone manufacturers are trying to do.

Hate to beat a dead horse, but I am going to anyway. Daydream was a big selling point for me. Still waiting for that. Also, future official cyanogenmod support for those who choose to go that route. I'm really rethinking my decision. If ZTE doesn't do an about face soon on pushing out updates and fulfilling the features they advertised, I won't be buying another ZTE in the future.
I don't know any informed buying would expect ZTE release Nougat update sooner than OnePlus, for obvious reasons. Also the title of the thread implies there's a date for Axon 7's Nougat release... which is not the case.
So yeah, I'm thoroughly disappointed.
I'll leave this here.
