"Qualcomm Leaks Tips Spring Android Key Lime Pie"

Found an article by pcmag and other notable sources that Qualcomm has leaked information about the newest android OS update coming this Spring. It will be around the same time as Google's IO convention.
Read for more information:

I believe richteralan is using a language tool referred to as 'Sarcasm'. By doing so, he is pointing out that the majority of people have long suspected Android 5.0 will be unveiled at the Google I/0 event in May this year.

Its all originated from two leaked Qualcomm docs posted on Android Police, then been taken down by Qualcomm.
And lots of sites just describe what's in the docs in today's article.

Google always introduces a new version at I/O. Qualcomm is just playing Captain Obvious.

anyone have the info that android police originally posted? I'd love to see it!

Also those qcom docs said at the bottom that it was just based on estimates of Google launch dates, aka best guess and nothing new.
Google have said that an update to fix the bluetooth will be coming sometime soonish, i assume they will fix that before may heh

Nothing new. Google usually launches new android releases once during I/O and again during Nexus launch in Oct/Nov.

Doesn't look like we're seeing Jelly Bean 4.3 today. I guess you can't beat perfection? LOL

I think they're saving android updates for last, since all the gaming stuff was really updates in services. Still have another 30 to 40 min left

Trying to get the name out there. This typically strikes me as a desperation move, but in this case Google is already dominating the phone OS market, so it's a curious choice at this point.
If M = Monster Energy Drink, or T = Tapout! I quit.

You also have to keep in mind that we aren't ware of all the details behind it but there is a possibility that Kit Kat is paying Google to 'promote' their chocolates during this period too. I'm definitely going to be buying Kit Kats to see if I can win a Nexus 7 or Google Play credit :good:
Win-win. Honestly, I don't care what they name Android versions, they can name it Android M&Ms and I can care less. A new Android version in itself is exciting enough

The promotion of winning GPlay Store Credit or Nexus 7 is pretty awesome.

I'm pretty pretty sure it's just Google trolling. More so provided that they have such a large index if what's happening on the internet, they would have seen the buzz about KLP everywhere, and especially the hard assumption of next Android version to be 5.0. So they're just playing a card against us.
No way will Google announce the name of Android release so much before it's launched.
If there's something this does suggest, it is that the release of next Android version, whatever it is, must be close. Close...close...close. Ah! October 5th. Android's 5th birthday on October 5th, with the release of Nexus 5 and Android 5.0 would be good.
Google must be putting our minds in a different direction while they prepare for 5.0
Just my over thinking though xD

Ummm, and now Nestle is assisting Google in trolling by putting it on their page as well? Don't think so. They are obviously in this together with quite a few promotions coming out of it which is why it was necessary to release the name early.
I am just glad I don't have to hear people call it Kandy Kane EVER again because of the stupid easter egg...

Is there a release date for 4.4?

wait what? kitkat? so key lime pie was a lie? well it was a cake so it must have been a lie
but wtf kitkat?

But realistically, probably around October when they may release the Nexus [5] because it's about a year since the Nexus 4. All speculative.

My main concern is that they usually only make significant UI changes with major numerical version updates. Since it's 4.4 and not 5.0, my thought is that there will be probably a few new features within more or less the same UI. That's not a problem, per se, but in my opinion the current Android UI is getting a little stale and could really use a refresh (especially the launcher). That's mainly what I'm hoping for in the next version of Android. I suppose we only have a couple months until we find out for sure though.

My thoughts as well, though I will say that they do have a good thing going right now. Plus, Jelly Bean was a significant improvement over ICS.
PS. Where are all the KitKat ROM's?

The overall theme basically hasn't changed since ICS. That's why I was hoping for version 5 and a refreshed UI. Jelly Bean is nice looking, but it's getting a little stale. We don't want the exact same look version after version like iOS

Not sure if anyone answered this, but they both agreed that they wouldn't pay each other anything. KitKats become advertised subconsciously and Android gets a simple catchy name.

I personally like the way android's interface is right now. Besides there are many options with custom romming and custom launchers that allows you to customize it so much that a "major upgrade" isn't necessary. Just my opinion though.

OH REALLY?
Please send me a link to a Sprint GS4 4.3 leak or ROM. The international and other GSM carriers have a leak which has been ported to the Sprint gs4, but this isnt from sprint. So how do you expect to have a 4.4 KitKat Official update to the Sprint GS4 in the next month or so if we don't even have 4.3 yet. It at least another 1 month before we get 4.3 official update. then another 2-3 months for 4.4 update. Which puts it in the Jan/Feb range. So do not tell me I am ignorant and stupid.

Can we not just share our experiences in one of the many other threads? Most of us have been running it for months anyway!

All I found was Dev Preview threads. Instead of digging through 100s of pages; thought we can discuss the clean build once we start getting it. Would be great to see when it actually starts rolling out and what difference / updates there are compared to the DP.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium HD app

The question is... will Lollipop be released today? I hope in a few hours we can start with flashing

Do you think tha we get the update today for N5???
I read that the update will arrive for WiFi Nexus 7 and after some week for others devices..

Here is what Android Geeks are saying. Seems to be inline with other updates. Here's hoping we get it sooner than later!

Hi there.
The source in the Android Geeks story is the message Google sent to developers recently saying Android 5 will be released to consumers on Nov 3. What that means in reality is anyone's guess.
I'm in London UK with a Nexus 5 waiting for the OTA update too. Hoping it's today but certainly not holding my breath.
When anyone gets it please post here to keep us updated!
