In the official capacity we are now last. Right on schedule VZW.
I bet just to troll us, they announce it tomorrow but the release will be at the end of the month :laugh:
Not sure why everyone is all fired up about it. Not like 4.4 is much different than 4.2
They didn't even give us art.

Such as? Maybe I'm ignorant and the signs are right in front of me, but I haven't seen anything that makes me excited to receive it.
I'm aware once the radio sources are dropped and they are put to work a bit then the sod and random reboot issues should be taken care of, but that's about all I've seen being said.

Have you ran the "leaked" VZW KK build?
Kitkat is a whole different world,Completely Night and Day. Amazingly smooth, its lightening fast and extremely stable.
Art or not, this is a legitimate huge performance step forward.

Nah, I haven't played around with it yet. Honestly Ive never had any issues with the stock speed. Once animations are turned off.
Guess its one of those gotta try it to understand it thing. Coming from my last phone being the first gen droid RAZR, I've never sat back and wished my g2 had more speed.

its alot nicer for animations, snappier, the whole kitkat look to the notification bar, fine tuning under the hood, tap and pay, cloud printing. give it a go
We probably won't see an update till after the g3 and s5 are released.

I suspected qtr1 was out of the picture when the drop date of the m8 was announced. Vzw doesn't like to have anything current impede the new baby.

Yeah I said that on another site and someone said updates don't affect phone sales... when the average consumer doesn't know of updates and Verizon and OEMs market "latest android software" many people will want it.

HTC one Max on verizon got updated and yet we're still waiting. :banghead:

It's so......awesome that the phone that was never displayed in a store gets the latest update. How can anyone want the g3 when LG cares little to get phones updated.
Htc obviously did something to convince VZW to update their stuff yet the g flex is rocking 4.2.2 and the same with ours.

I don't think it's LG in this instance. I think it's Verizon, and I think it has more to do with the m8 launch than it does with whether or not the update is ready. They don't like to have anything mess with the new revenue stream.

Agreed... Think about it: would the company make more money by keeping everyone's android system slick and up-to-date, or by enticing those with outdated devices to pine over the newest phone, with the NEWEST OS? Having worked customer service for a VZW contractor in the past, I personally know that making their customers happy (with no direct profit) is at the bottom of their list.

Bluetooth LTE will be nice to have. I've been waiting for it so I can connect to my Garmin watch and do live tracking. I need at least Android 4.3 to do this. (which VZW skipped )
I can't believe Verizon still hasn't pushed 4.4 update,this is ridiculous :banghead:

I've given up hope. Its the usual state of mind one arrives at when dealing with VZW. You go though denial, anger and rage (quite a lot of rage) before reaching acceptance

You are not far off the mark. It is also possible that they are not going to update the phone to 4.4.2. Just because LG stated they would be for all variants does not mean Verizon will do it. I came from an LG revolution which at point LG said would get ICS, needless to say that phone is still only running 2.3.6. We guessed that VZW cancelled the update. LG support stated that it was working on a upgrade and that it was in testing and then nothing...
I hope I am not reliving things again. If I am, at least the base phone and stock OS are really good.

I don't think so because there's already a stock leak build that works 100 percent. I think they're just waiting and they're gonna merge the knock code in and release it as one build rather than releasing 2 separate ones

Wasn't 4.4.2 supposed to include Knock Code?
Disappointed.

The knock code should come in the next update for our g2
Sent from my VS980 4G
Knock code is a simple framework mod, probably only in the lockscreen apk and the touchscreen driver. It *should* be possible to get with a minimal change. If LG had any sense, they'd put it up on the play store for all compatible LG devices and let us update.

Wouldn't that be nice.... Who's got twitter? Someone go tweet at them. LG seems to be in to customer satisfaction, they might like that idea!

It will drop soon enough. Too impatient? Flash one of cloudyfas 4.4 pro or flex ports.

Is there a way to enable ART on stock rooted 24a via build.prop? If so what do we need to change?
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I've been scouring the web for this as well. I can't even find a decent guide to what all of the build.prop parts do, much less where ART is hiding.
Anyone out there know anything about this? I hope we don't have to wait for Android L to do this, because you know Verizon will be the last carrier to allow it.
I don't think all the LG legacy apps are compliant with ART, specifically quick remote, something to consider if you use it.
Yeah, there's that... Maybe we're better off waiting until LG updates the G2 to L, as ART will be the default.
And hopefully LG will use that as an opportunity to update their own apps.

I'm really keeping my fingers crossed that Rovo figures out how to enable xposed on ART, I know I won't be updating until that happens. Xposed is too d*mn useful...

I have faith in them. T-Mobile and LG have both been excelling as of late. Fully confident we'll see a bump to 5.0. G3 got the update before other Nexus devices - Very good sign.
I think it's likely. Both the L9 and L9 2 have got their official updates after their original official version of Android...
So.. It seems that im the only one here with the D958 model, but i wonder.. If i have the international model, it should get lolipop before US users right? Anyone have a word on when should we get it?
And when i do get, will twrp prevent me from getting the OTA update?:silly:
LG D958
I have the same model as you. Unfortunately I think Lollipop doesn't come very soon
Due to some bugs its delayed, Otherwise it launch time is prior to G2
Sent from My LG G Flex LG-F340K Stock KitKat V20D on LTE Network using XDA Free Mobile app
Wow, so it should be out soon? Any credible source to the fact that it should be prior to the g2?
G2 Korean Lollipop is launched a month before...
And Its Lollipop is prior to G2, Right after G3, But due to some bugs... LG have delayed it...
I have Korean G Flex, So I will get it 1st..
Will update here as soon as I receive it..
