The build is "BRB"... So maybe they're giving us a hint. "BRB we're still making Oreo, see you in a couple weeks!"

Samsung support is the slower one I ever seen. And you guys got branded phones Congratulations, you will the last to get oreo.

Seriously, who cares... Samsung branded phones are light years ahead of "stock Android" anyway. That's why stock Android has slowly been adding OG Samsung features into stock Android.

Android 3.0 for Vibrant?

I hate to ask this right now because Android 2.2 hasn't come out officially on the Vibrant yet, but I was wondering will the Vibrant get Android 3.0 update in the future?
no its skipping 3.0 to get 4.58876 codename ICECREAM
Wouldn't it be awesome if samsung surprised everyone and released android 3.0 for the galaxy s? Yeah.pipe dream.

Hey you should work for Google since you apparently also have the ability to make crazy codenames that have nothing much to do with anything.

The hardware is compliant with 3.0.
If Samsung doesn't upgrade to 3.0, it will piss off a lot of people. I know I'd never buy another Samsung.
Seriously, why do you think Gingerbread is "all that". We haven't even seen a working version of it?
Why even bother talking about 3.0? Lets worry about 2.2 first.

by the time 3.0 rolls out this phone will be out of rotation, happens to all phones, might get one update then they are pushing another better phone.
and names that have nothing to do with anything? you havent been following the names have you?
"Cupcake”
"Donut”
"Eclair”
"Froyo”
"Gingerbread”
see a pattern?
Android 3.5 is Code Name "Honeycomb"
Given that Samsung expects this to be a 2 year phone, one would HOPE they keep it updated but there is no way to know.

The Galaxy S is most certainly Samsung's flagship device, they have announced they expect to sell 10 million units. One would HOPE they would keep the software current.

I wouldn't go that far. The original Omnia and its successor were one of the nicer WinMo phones before the HD2 came out. Last time I check, the Omnia II is still getting updates even though it's been out for nearly a year. Shame on Samsung for not keeping their promise of getting the Behold II to Eclair, but they're not screwing over all of their phones.
I highly doubt Samsung will ditch the Galaxy S, there's way too much of these phones out there. If they dare to do so, they'll pretty much commit suicide in the mobile phone market.
Agree with the post above

Bad idea. Wait for a Dev to get it and build or add the changes in what we already have.
If its not bypassed then I'm sure its a prep for the L update. We all know that often there is an update before the next big os jump. But idk. We shall see. Maybe its an update long overdue anyway. Lol
Sent from rotary technology Phone
with the LS990ZV5 update, Your G3 OS is still Android 4.4.2. The update should bring some minor fixes and security patch. Like the G3 D855 model have recently receive update with some security patch!
By the way, Some one already got the Android 5.0 Update on LG G3 F400S Model
http://www.mylgphones.com/android-5-0-lollipop-software-update-for-lg-g3-f400s19c.html
and that security patch may very well break root.
If you have TWRP don't take the OTA.
If you're not rooted, but think you want to root, don't take the OTA until we find out if it's been patched to prevent current root methods.
If you are rooted with stock recovery, don't take the OTA until we find out if it breaks root.
I'm hoping it fixes the horrible auto brightness and occasional unresponsive screen. Other than that couldn't be happier.

At&t just got an update
Lameooo... I first found out about the Sprint LS990ZV5 update on November 6. It is now the 19... almost two weeks... Sprint Reps tell me they haven't heard of it... REALLY?
I have a possibly awesome phone without a working compass... that sucks! Of course, the update may NOT even have a compass fix. Who knows?!
Scratch ZV5, say hello to ZV6!
ZV5 isn't coming our way but ZV6 RDF is out and source has dropped.
I give it 24-48 hours before it is announced. Maybe sooner before someone finds the file and posts it.
Now, the million dollar question... does it break root?

Agreed this 509 firmware is stagefright patched and was built like 5 weeks ago and its 5.0.2 I think this is all were getting and since the Z4v is no longer coming out I belive 5.0.2 is the end of the road for the Z3v. This 509 firmware is good though.
I can understand your frustration, but I wouldn't take it for 100% that Sony is intentionally excluding the Z3V... They will probably send the marshmallow firmware to Verizon, and because of that, we'll probably never receive it unless we get a lucky leak, but I doubt that because I don't think it'll even be a candidate for Internal Testing as I'm sure Verizon plans to push Lollipop, fulfill their year old promises, and be done with their EOL device.. so even if Sony does send them the firmware, Verizon is most likely going to sit on it until it's buried... But you have to think with articles like these, even if they are press statements from Sony, it's still likely that they could leave out the Z3V unintentionally because even though its a variant of the Z3, by saying the Z3 is getting the update, they could be collectively including the Z3V along with that... but either way, I agree that we'll most likely never get this update, and that sucks.... But I do think Verizon is going to give us the latest Lollipop for sure.... There's no reason not to jump it to 5.1.1 if Sony gave them the firmware, it's not a major update... I think they just wanted a solid Lollipop build in "testing" (an intentional leak out there to collect usage stats from people bold enough to flash it) with stagefright patches, etc to make sure they had a solid build before putting the finishing touches on the firmware. There is a different Kernel in the .509 version than the .485, as well as some other interesting differences that make me think they're gearing it for the latest Lolllipop... and really as long as we get that with working VOLTE.... I can be happy enough with that.

the thought did cross my mind that they would update 509 the rest of the way to 5.1.1 now that stagefright patch is out for z3 5.1.1 because it may be bad for business to have us on firmware we shouldn't have. I don't even care really Verizon made me sick with this shiit I guess I have to get a nexus phone next but I'm not doing that till they firgure out how to but an SD card in a phone. And thank you for your work and getting the ball rolling on Lollipop.

Thanks so much for the recognition. Somehow my leaked FTF of Lollipop was taken down, so I wasn't even sure if people still knew that I was the one that brought us that first Lollipop leak.

you know are phones should be pretty close to being able to be unlocked by Verizon I was looking on eBay and there are unlocked Z3V's I dont know if they kept the drm keys but anyway once they release the final version..and we get our bootloader unlocked then we can go crazy. (edit)Unless that's a carrier unlock Im not sure if that unlocks the bootloader or if their the same.

I think they mean carrier unlocked, which all vzw phones are now, since like the Galaxy S4. Boot loader and carrier unlock are two completely different things.

I wasn't trying to be rude either I have had this phone for almost a year since it first came out and have received no support for this phone at all I have spent literally hundreds of hours trying to fix this phone myself because verzions incompetence I'm not sure for the reason for the leak or how it happened but I doubt very much we will receive 6.0 and I don't really give a **** I would just like them to realease a Lollipop version so I can have a feature I was promised a year ago -advanced calling. Also quick charge 2.0 is a listed feature- it's not. Verizon = Liars. Look at the Z4v that's a disaster to.

I am pretty tough skinned, it takes more than what you said to be considered "rude" to me.
I agree B.S. what VZW has done with the Advanced Calling 1.0, I am tired of getting the stepchild phones and VZW keeping us from getting the next OS release due to heavy-handed control. I mean Z3 getting a beta test for Marshmallow, seriously? Maybe the guy who got the leak can get Marshmallow leak, but I would like to have the latest OS if possible and I am sure others will agree.
An AOSP with a unlocked bootloader, I miss those days.

Man it was so great to have the Droid when it first came out. ROM competition was tremendous and you could lead anything you wanted; if you could dream it, someone was already working on it.

I have a similar experience. My last phone was a Galaxy Nexus, it was an embarrassment of riches as far as being able to modify it. Different ROMs everywhere you looked, modified kernels, etc... Thanks to baldwinguy77 I was running KitKat 3 days after Google introduced it, even before any manufacturers had released phones with it.
The Xperia's lack of popularity with the general public is probably the cause of it's noticeable lack of developer interest. Few devs have one so few work on it.
I really like the phone, it's battery life is second to none. I may have to be satisfied running Lollipop but at least it is rooted so there's that.

Oreo Beta Testing starting back up!

What's up!
Yup you heard right it's starting back up and if you're a beta tester previously for the Axon 7 Oreo builds you should be getting contacted soon.
Peace!
Kudos to ZTE for continuing this after that long stretch of downtime. Looks like they're doing right by us; I really appreciate this.
Right now it seems to be only for the US tho. Saw a post on reddit where someone got an email for US beta testing.
Sadly ztemobile.de is still redirecting to the chinese site. I really hope the site comes back. Or that at least the G model gets back on track too to receive oreo.

Are you kidding? ?
I'm guessing (maybe hoping) that that screenshot is unrelated. Surely they can't be releasing only a V8 update and not v8.1.
Seems like ZTE could so with some cross region collaboration with releasing updates. It's a bad practice not to make updates world wide.
I know there may be small differences, especially with modems but still..

I'm sure that patch was left somewhere in the update servers and since they're back online now, people received it.
I'ts not new per se because it's from March, so clearly they didn't release new stuff yet (also don't know if they started to work on the update or not). However, I have my doubts about 8.1... hopefully it's 8.1 and not 8.0., but we will see.

I received an email from ZTE a few days ago that read new Oreo build ready for testing. Has a survey for you to fill out. I contacted the person and was told , build is wrapping up inner testing and will be pushed to beta testers soon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The build is the last before final release.
Hi,
How to enroll for beta testing?

Yeah. Security updates till November, Official updates are no longer given out to the 6p.
Time to get a new phone. May I suggest LG V30 found it to be pretty close in size. Performance is great as well as battery. The only issue one might have is the LG UI but it's not that bad.

I tried a G6 and their UI is kinda meh also a ton of bloatware. I'm going for Android one and gravitating towards a Nokia 7+. Android one comes close to the Nexus experience.

Always unlocked bootloaders,but i don't like it when i first have to remove bloatware and fiddle around to get the stock UI running. There are always seem to be some minute differences to stock
That's old news bro.
And secondly this is a Nexus phone.
It will never stop getting updates the difference is you will have to update it by yourself.
