I want ics so bad why is there development for for the od3 in android section but not thrill its the same phone

Everyone in their right mind stays away from the US version of a phone.
International versions are ALWAYS the first to get updates.
Hence why the Optimus 3D is getting it in the 3rd Quarter and the LG Thrill isn't.

Updates for Nexus phones come straight from Google.
That's why they get updates fast.

Last couple of weeks, AT&T announced the LG G2 was set to receive the latest and greatest Android 4.4.2 KitKat software upgrade, and now we’re hearing other carriers could soon follow, with T-Mobile offering the update as well. There’s still no word on the Verizon update.
REALLY?! Instead of starting yet another "when is KitKat coming?" thread, adding to the unnecessary clutter in these forums, have you actually read through this, already posted, thread?

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.

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.

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

I had emailed them a month ago and they replied after a week. I received this on the 29 of April.

I've seen this article saying that LG has only confirmed a Lollipop update on the G3. I don't only find it a bad thing that they haven't confirmed anything on the G2 or the Flex yet, I think it's unacceptable and irresponsible of them to simply throw away two phones that have been so popular. The G2, at least.
Anyway, opinions aside, this shall serve as the discussion thread, maybe, for the Lollipop update. Post all questions, tips, suggestions here related to Android 5.0 here.
Honestly i don't really care if we get the update or not, i just love the phone the way it is now and i don't really get why so many people are obsessed with the updates. Sure, the stock android L that Google provides looks nice,buy mostly every company theme the system, but if you come to think of it there aren't sooo many improvements. And the G Flex is not such a popular phone like the G3, just like the Galaxy line or HTC lines. But we will wait and see what happends, for me this is one of the best phones out there just because the battery is amazin, i have never had a smartphone that can resist 2 days on moderate use or even 4-5 days at low usage. I'm the kind of guy that thinks that the phone is made for making calls, texts and stuff like that.
Oh I'm pretty sure we'll get lollipop on our flex most phones usually get two or three updates anyway
In March or April 2015 we get Lollipop update

I'm surprised its gonna be that long. If the G3 update is already rolling out seems to me they should already be working on the flex update since its the model just before the G3.
seriously why so far out that just doesnt make any sense business wise but hopefully we can get a port or a early leak for our device but thats just a little crazy and far out
Compare the sales of the g3 to the flex. That's why it'll be last to update I bet the g2 gets it first.

L is not rolling out for the G3. The update was a small one, not the big one. Went from like d to n.
