I think it's too early for official Android 7.0 on Idol 4, let's wait for middle 2017 ... then will see ...

Glad someone answered!
Sadly, Middle 2017 seems very late to me. It's a good budget smartphone, but just like any budget phone it will most probably die before that day.
Anyone else has some spicy info on the subject?

I actually called Alcatel asking about if they were working on one. All the lady said was that she is unaware of any nougat development for the idol 4.

Noooooooo
I really wish it happens. :/

They may still do it. I'm guessing they will because they are producing the idol 4 pro with nougat on it at release. So why do just one idol 4 and not the others. I heard the whole 4 series will get it just a matter of when

Hi.
Any news on this? Thanks.

" Alcatel is one of those companies that announces an incredible number of devices, and it’s often hard to keep track of what’s actually available. Still, there are three devices that should get the Nougat update, and two of them recently launched with Marshmallow.
Alcatel devices with Nougat:
Alcatel A3 XL
Will get the update:
Alcatel Idol 4S
Alcatel Idol 4
Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3
The Idol 4 is only available on Cricket Wireless, so you’ll have to wait and see if Cricket is even interested in issuing an update. We previously asked Alcatel executives when the Idol 4S would receive Nougat and they said an update would come when the company deemed the Nougat release to be stable."
This is a news from 7 February 2017

I chatted with Alcatel about the idol 4 and the person said:
"There is no word yet if this device will have the update."

Today, in an email response, the service rep said they just don't know when it will be updated.

Also idol 3 is not going to have nougat.

Sprint is skipping 4.4.3 for M7 - Going straight to L

FYI for anyone still wondering.... I just received this reply from HTC's VP of Product Management on Twitter. I asked him when the Sprint M7 will get 4.4.3. Looks like we get to wait for L.
"@TheRhob Hi Robert, we're going to go straight to L release. Thanks."

I hope this is true. I was thinking that we'd get shafted because the phone is almost 2 years old.

Thanks for that. I must have missed that post! I know there were still some posts in September suggesting that there was a possibility we were getting 4.4.3 so I didn't think it hurt to clarify once again.

Yeah, I'm sure the mass from the site aren't going to be happy about it. I haven't rooted a phone in a while, just don't have the time to do it anymore. But it sucks, for sure.
Chainfire already has established and released root on L. From what I've seen in the n5 forums.

Mo posted a few hours ago that we'll be seeing the L update end of Jan when the carrier rollout is scheduled to happen.

Official blog post boasts lollipop to start rolling out today.

I have to admit, after trying out L DP this is the first time that I'm really excited about upgrades for android.

Again that can only be for tablets and not for N5.
That's only for tablets. Nexus 5 and other nexus devices will get lollipop in 'the following weeks'

*Design is a major focus for*Lollipop—the latest version of Android—which begins to roll out today.
As exciting as it is, I wanna see them post the source asap so our favorite devs can take a crack at this.
Yeah I know I'm wanting it and refreshing the dev page in case the source gets released.

The OTA is only for tablets!
Dev images should be posted today but nothing will roll out today for GSM/CDMA devices.
The OTA for the other nexus devices will come in the following weeks.

Next coming weeks could literally mean in the next 5 minutes to the next coming weeks. Plus Google doesn't give everyone the update at the same time. It takes weeks.

Oh the Nexus twitter account must be a spam account and that's why it had a huge verified check mark next to it.
Its been stated over and over by various sources including google that the OTA from today will only be for WiFi devices aka tablets.

i still don't think so

It's cool either way, as long as it doesn't take 2 months or some'n than I can wait a couple of weeks. In such events like these, I'm glad that I chose to buy Nexus 5 instead of the usual Samsung/HTC as I did in the past.

Who uses the ota function anyway? If you own a nexus device flashing factory images should be a given.

Exactly.
Also androidcentral has the OTA which is a 800+MB update for the Nexus 9
And if anyone wants to research it or find that image feel free to use google.

[COMMUNITY BUILD 3.5.4] Carl Pei on upcoming build

Carl Pei just said that the new community build will included an awaited feature... Interesting
With the community builds going pretty well so far, I'm hoping there's a few fixes in this build we've been waiting for. For example, the coloured notification LED bug, the pale accent colours, and other small things.
Let's see what happens

He prolly talked about it. However, i can trully understand sh** even with google translate. I think that it is some kind of troll.
I am very sceptical of this but if they are going to release 3.6.0 with Nougat then that's very good news indeed.
First Nougat build will be Oxygen 4.x, won't it?
Well the whole thread is just people busting on OP for bull****ting... In regards to the oneplusbbs thread
Lmao, you guys: They are literally just discussing what the version number OxygenOS would be if it jumped up to Nougat, that's really it.
It's highly unlikely they will release nogat. I will be more than happy if one plus team proves me wrong.

With a sour puss attitude like that I am glad you will not be posting them in the future. Do you really expect us to kiss the ring at your daughters wedding to get a couple of tars? Don't be so full of your self when you know all to well the average people that come on here. Those people want their hand held the entire way they root their phones instead of using some common sense. The silent majority will always be drowned out by the inept minority who are typically more vocal with their trivial questions and demands.

I don't know that I don't own any of s6 series. I'm doing this in my free time to help others and it is very frustrated when you on your post see 2-3K of viewers and only 10 or so thanks. How hard it is to simply say "thank you" if someone help you. They are same way in the live. They get someone help and they just walk away with out even looking back. Think about it. Have great day. BTW. People who want something from me will get it. There is always way.

You must be confused, this device got Android 13 update this summer and just got a big update this week. Very much not abandoned.

Abandoned by developers...100% true... Not only that but oppo/oneplus are locking these devices down. Unlocking the bootloader on the 10T is already an issue.

They're mostly referring to the fact that OnePlus, once developer-friendly, has reversed that stance and with every flagship phone, has found more and more new and exciting ways to make developers' lives a living hell. Hence, no developer support. Meanwhile, OP releases updates that only seem to break things more than anything else. Buyer beware, as they say.
