ohhh those trollsssss
we dont even have kitkat on sight and they are already teasing us with popsicles

hahaha. that is a funny picture. Hopefully they skip kitkat and release lollipop! That would make Huawei really the best phablet I had. but time will tell.

Saw it too , made me chuckle . Who knows , maybe they have something up their sleeve ha !

Skipping 4.4 would not be entirely unprecedented (Note II skipped an iteration of Android, either 4.2 or 4.3). However, I doubt a company that clearly does not have their US ducks in a row, so much so that they can't tell you if or when their new flagship will even be sold here, will be putting Lollipop on our AM2 anytime soon.

I don't know why you would say that? I have had nothing but a pleasant experience with Huawei and I'm running 3 Mate2s at my company and all unlocked and Rooted. Communication with [email protected] has always gave me prompt bootloader unlock codes and I would not be surprised to see this phone get L. It's the only phone they have out with LTE in America and will be forced to update to stay in the game. However right now the phone works and looks great and for $300 you can't get a better phone
Using Rooted Huawei Ascend Mate 2

Won't matter to me if it never gets an update. My last phone, a Note1, was stuck at 4.1.2 for almost 18 months, and it didn't bother me one bit. It was STABLE.
My Mate2, same setup. It's STABLE that is what I'm after, be it JB, KK or Lollipop.

I got excited and asked them about it, but they might know me by now haha.

You know I've actually been thinking about this ever since they posted that picture a month ago that showed the Android 'L' style navigation buttons.... I have been secretly wondering all this time if they were planning on skipping KitKat altogether in favor of one big upgrade to Android 5.0 (what we now know is called Lollipop). This pretty much tracks with that.... oooh how I'd love to be right on this one!

What? I see no mention of Lollipop on that post.... only that they handed out phones to a few developers at a BBQ.

Confirmed that we'll possibly get some development progress on custom/aosp or even lollipop ports to our device. We currently gained official support for TWRP. That's a big step.

He's talking about the picture on Instagram of the HAM2 laying on lollipops. I believe Huawei was offering free lollipops. connect the dots.

Why do you insist on posting links containing unsubstantiated claims. These sites are merely trying to gain free publicity (traffic if you like) from users on the internet.
It has already been stated by SE themselves there is unlikely to be further delays. All this rubbish about bootloaders and so forth is complete nonsense.

Just a thought:
Windows XP can run on a 256 mb ram even below 1ghz processor
Our phone is the best there is in terms of specs..
I doubt the problem is on the 1gb ram on our phone..
Problem lies on the OS.
"Even the price of the phone EQUALS the price of the laptop, even higher"
You got the point..

My feeling tells me..4.1.2 could be the last update we get fro SGS3
If it is even there
Gsg3 users deserve to have this function imo. i purchased the device a couple of months ago and i think it should already be given with the jb update.

check out foldermount. might help with the pain of the smaller storage size. basically moves data to the external SD, but leaves a symlink on the internal so that apps, etc that point to that directory can still access the files. obviously not the same as a larger internal storage, but at least it helps.
I didn't figure it was going to take long for the phone to be rooted, and custom recoveries/roms installed. It didn't take long for the GS3 to fall to the modding community.
Once you root, NO MORE OTAS!!!!
People will read that, and still do it anyway, and well, that's on them.
This is the best news I've heard related to Verizon in a long time.

oh man, i couldnt take it anymore. ingress should me how really terrible the service was.
got mine last night, ready for root... :good:
I'm going to try out stock for at least a few days. I'm coming from a DINC2 running CM7 in preparation for this. It's going to be a nice boost in every regard, I think.
The lure of root is tough to beat, though. I've only ever had HTC smartphones, so I've been used to waiting a month or two for root. This might be tough.
this is awesome. super excited!

Unfortunately so, it looks like Verizon had time to upgrade to the new secure kernel (same as Sprint's latest OTA). And now we all know why they wanted to take that extra month.

Old news
Yeah anyone who believed their initial claim of November/December was a fool. When buying the G2 I fully expected it to never be updated like so many of their other devices.
I am hoping to be wrong of course, but as other OEMs push 4.3 and LG continues its silence, the chances of an update get slimmer.
I'm trying to find an OEM that Skipped a version of Android when updating. Say 4.1 - 4.3 etc. Don't ever see it happen.

HTC One on all carriers except Verizon skipped 4.2
Sent from my Nexus 7
Wifes Galaxy Note 2, still on 4.1, and my Note 10.1, still on 4.1. Both are supposed to be going straight to 4.3, but who knows....
This is typical of LG, which is why I hated my LG G2x when I got it. They just don't say ANYTHING. Why would you have a BRAND NEW PHONE on already super outdated software (4.2.2) and then remain hush on updates?!
I am in no rush really but at least say something like, "We're hard at work to bring the latest Android release to G2, ****, ***, and *****! Best case scenerio we should start rolling out in early 2014."
At least you know they're working on it and what devices will get what. It has to hurt sales. I mean it almost made me skip on the G2 just because it was running 4.2.2 when the Note 3 had 4.3. Your sales WILL increase if buyers know you are working on updates. If LG made a statement saying they were working on KitKat then I would have jumped on it earlier.
Funny thing is they'll probably release 4.3 in March of 2014 when we start seeing Android 5.0 stuff. Then LG will give up and never release another update past 4.3.
I just hope LG gives a **** this round or I will eventually smash my G2 and pick up something else. I'm already extremely edgy with LG since they stung me with the POS G2x. Great Phone turned into **** by LG. If they Ruin the new G2, they may never live it down.
I think you are greatly pissed by LG
LG G2
I like LG for theory bring out ohone with no bugs, so update is not needed. I'd rather have that and wait for new os and only see it fail cause again its a bad port lol.

Never Got 5.0, Still Says Up To Date After 5.1 Release :/

My SGP612, Z3 Tablet Compact from Japan(I think, via eBay) 32GB Wifi, has said that it's up to date via the "About Tablet" settings and the Sony software on Windows and Mac ever since I've had it. Never got the 5.0 Lollipop and now the 5.1 is being released and nothing. Is there something easy that I was supposed to do here or does anyone know any little tips or tricks for this? Thanks very much.
Up to date, 5.1 release is only for: Italy and Benelux regions, speaking of model 612.
But you can flash it manually as I did. Works perfectly, though my region is Central Europe.

Agreed we shouldn't have to but things don't always work out that way.
It is great that we have options and contributors such as @sebarkh to step in with advice that I would never figure out on my own.
I am in the UK and likewise watching out for the update. If it fails to materialise OTA then I am reassured that there is a manual solution. But so far I am very impressed by what Sony is doing both in terms of hardware offerings and ongoing software support. Samsung needs to take heed.

You're definitely right. I'll eventually stop being lazy and just do it myself for sure, just hoping I won't have to. I do really like what Sony is doing too. Hoping for a Z4/5 Ultra this year! Thanks for your help guys!
Luckily the 5.1 update came today for me over wifi, which was nice cause I didn't feel like using the desktop software. Looks great!
Just wondering if I am alone in waiting on the UK OTA update to 5.1.1?
If, for some reason, I have missed the boat then I shall follow sebarkh's advice and use XperiFirm. Otherwise I am happy to wait a while longer for Sony to get round to us.
Hi, I am now able to answer my own question. Yesterday Sony OTA upgraded my UK OS to v5.1.1
So I can defer rolling up my sleeves and getting my hands dirty and possibly voiding my warranty for a while. The need for Root is becoming quite pressing though.
Just stay on 4.4 because the 5.1.1 update sucks! There is no change regarding the throttling issue when brightness is above 50% or when you have automatic brightness activated so, the intermitent lag is stiil present.

No throttling for me anymore on 5.1.1
