Hey guys, since 4.1.2 is pretty naff for most LG devices, I've set up, and am trying to launch a petition to get some action on some officialness for some of the flagship devices..
https://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/lg-release-official-android-updates-for-flagship-devices#
Sign and share, and post everywhere you can, add to your signatures, I think LG will learn to finally listen and compete with their rivals!

Sorry but when pointed to this I had to reply
Lg is not going to listen go these change petitions. Anyone who says different is kidding themselves. Either make do with what you have or learn to do it yourself
Sorry to be blunt but it's the truth and that's basically life

LG do wath they want. I'm pretty sure that they will update (or not) because they know that have weight for their marketing.
Yeah i think that lg shares updates in subordination of her marketing projects and ther's no way to change this, unluckily
They already stated that they'll be rolling out KitKat not only for the top-of-the-line devices but also the whole L series (2nd gen), including the cheaper L3-II and L4-II (maybe even L1-II), so i think in doing that, LG is not treating it's costumers that bad.
If you want KitKat for the L series (1st gen), you'll have to wait for CM based releases or compile one yourself, we can't ask any brand to eternally update their old line of devices, when the market nowadays calls for a constant stream of new ones.
If any brand gets stuck on updating older generation devices instead of newer ones, they go bankrupt. Updates are free, so brands get $0.00 for it. Selling devices is what keeps them alive.
It's maintaining the balance between these two factors that makes a good user-friendly brand, and LG for now is doing rather well i think. Better than Samsung at least, since they will only update to 4.4 their top of the tops...

I agree with you on that. LG's doing rather well as a user-friendly brand. I've given up my iPhone in April and only came back to having a smartphone last month by buying an LG and I'm contented with it so far.
Hello Community!
Is it only me, or is everyone annoyed that our Nexus 7 Tables (2012/2013) Mobile version still have not received the upgrade?
Can't find any info on the web regarding this...
Anyone know why Google takes so much time?
I think the devs are very busy because they need to fix a lot of buggs on the not 3G 4G versions see Android 5.0.1 and Googles priority is also on the new devices
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9195 mit Tapatalk
Maybe, but over a month?
But the only thing different is the 3g radio. How difficult can it be to make a lollipo driver for it? Everything else is common for both 3g and wifi versions.
My neighbour has an LG G3 who just got the Lollipop update today, on 4g. I'm still waiting for the 2012 3g Nexus 7 update I won't buy another nexus device. What's the value in it?
The problem isn't with the mobiles but with tablets. I have a nexus 4 and just got the 5.0.1 update, still with the 4.4.4 on the nexus 7 2012 3G. Maybe Santa will bring a gift...
Στάλθηκε από το Nexus 4 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk
Would the tablet work, if we flashed an image from the WiFi version?
Obviously the radio and 3g won't work - But I don't use those anyway.
Would the tablet function?
I think we'll never see any 5.0.x release on our N7, since 5.1 seems to be scheduled for February... Google seems so busy fixing bugs in Lollipop that I think cellular enabled nexus tablets won't receive any major updates soon.
On the one hand, it's annoying not to receive updates quickly, but in my opinion it is better to wait a little more and enjoy a stable operating system: for people with the WiFi only version, 5.0 was terrible, but with the latest update the situation improved a lot. I'm looking forward to knowing more about 5.1...
Anyway, I'm happy that Google is really supporting our old N7, and spending time in dedicated bug fixing.

A high-end nexus device from 2012 old?? Are you talking about the same device than the rest of us??

Yes, I consider the 2012 Nexus 7 "old" too. It came out just 6 months after the Galaxy Nexus, and that phone hasn't had official support in over a year (it never officially got Kit Kat). So I agree, I'm thankful that Google is still supporting the original Nexus 7. I'd like it even better if the 3g version was updated too, but I have the WiFi version, so lack of new factory images for the 3g version doesn't affect me directly.

If Google kicks me out on my N7 2012 3G I will lose any desire to buy another Google thing forever.

no company
no company around this planet upgrade their old 2012 devices to Android 5.
only Google do that.
which company you would choose if Google dont produce an update?
The most 2013 models dont get an update.
and sry, i think Google were happy if people change the company who buy over 2 Sears ago a cheap device and cry every new Version for update.

Whereas Apple on the other hand do and have updated their old iPhone 4s, iPad 2 (Both 2011 devices) + their iPad mini (2012 device) with the very latest IOS8+ :laugh:
The way I see it is this; if the hardware can support it why not update your customers software and keep them loyal. If its a case of it being a huge financial burden to optimise their software to make it work on inadequate hardware then fair enough.
If apple are prepared to update older hardware, then so should Google and you should encourage it rather than shoot down anyone that suggests otherwise and criticise them for buying hardware which they might only be able to afford; or are you suggesting we just lavish the rich with refinements?

You pay a lot for apple devices, and that price contain future upgrades. Software develop costs a lot. If you buy top devices you get updates for almost 2 years, and that is not bad. If you buy a 50 bucks smatphone probably you never get an upgrade... So only google upgrades cheap devices, so why blame them? Also the sources are open so every developer can made new roms.
_____________________________________Read more write less and be smart
It costs a lot of money and a lot of time to update a device. Google geht no money if they produce an update.
And Apple is a different story. a device from Apple costs three times more than a nexus 7.the Hardware is near identical. nexus7 has a nvidia tegra chip from 2011 and the other nexus use qualcom. so they need more Teams to develop.
Google is a company that need money to work, develop and produce products. i was wondered that they bring out Android 5 for the first nexus7. So if the tilapia get an update....wonderfull, if not ....also OK.
I recall reading a lot of articles and I believe even a quote from a Google employee saying the 3G/LTE models would be getting 5.0 in early December but here we are in January with not a peep from anybody about when it's coming.
Is there any news about Android 5 on 3G version??? It's been about two months now. Anyone?
Android 5.0.2 factory images for Nexus 7 Mobile (2013 and 2012)
Android 5.0.2 factory images for Nexus 7 Mobile (2013 and 2012).
If people have working 2012 models on kitkat (without much lag), might want to wait and find out how other people's reaction to it.
I just installed it. For some reasons, a signature mismatch prevented me from flashing the bootloader, but after a couple of attempts I just skipped that, since my 3G N7 already had the version included with Lollipop (4.23).
I'll let you know my first impressions soon
As it seems, it's just a matter of time for the OTA to roll out...

According to https://www.xda-developers.com/android-oreo-update-is-now-rolling-out-to-android-wear/ , we can get an update any time soon. Did anyone receive the update? If yes, how is it?

Yup read about it. It is strange though as most of the devices have almost similar internals.
Looks like LG want's people to buy the LG watch sport . Spec's are almost the same of most smartwatchs getting the update. Typical LG updates are non existent. I'm done with LG!! Will buy other manufacture watches
Not same processor on all the new watch Wear 2.0 ready
My LG urbane 2 LTE is running 2.0 it's the 3.0/ 8.0 Oreo that it won't be getting. There is not much difference from 2.0 to 3.0
mine is currently showing version 2.7.0 .. curious to see who else gets a newer update.
since the device has announced, i have they will launch it soon...
they said it will be launched in latin america, europe and india, something like that.
will this be released in the us at all??
The device will come in October.

Anyone got any exact news on pricing?

No chance of it being 14k. That's the price of Snapdragon 450 Moto G6.
They have priced the G6 plus at 22.5k so maybe they are planning to launch it between G6 and G6 Plus at 18-19k.
And that is just sheer optimism from my side. Knowing moto and their overpriced phones, I'm expecting 24-25k.

It is an India only device. So no sense in adding to the cost by including nfc because literally no one uses nfc here.

Sorry but i dont think they will launch this phone in Europe.
This phone has too many good features at too low a price. If you watch the launch event, you'll see how they kept emphasizing that they made this phone with the Indian customer in mind, who happens to be very price sensitive.
I'm hoping this phone launched in other markets and we get good dev support but somehow i doubt it. They want to you to buy overpriced G and G plus

If motorola releases kernel sources, many people will jump onto the bandwagon. And moreover, this same device launches as the P30 and P30 Note. With a slight variation in the spec sheet. Hence I expect development to be strong. Also its a Android One Device, you can expect 3 years of security updates.

I don't know about the history whether Motorola releases kernel sources early or it takes much time like xiaomi do. This phone will be my first Motorola phone but I do trust the brand that's why I am going for it. Earlier I had MI Max 2 which has quite bad development the main reason being xiaomi releasing the kernel sources very late. I mean the world is going for Android p and MI is still messing with nougat. Are you a developer? I have some knowledge of development but I cannot work from scratch. Feels like I am a copycat who just improvises[emoji6]

Motorola generally releases kernel sources in time. It already has the G6 series' sources available.
I generally find budget motorola devices to have good amount of support. I own a moto X play but sadly I cannot relplace its battery with an official motorola one so gotta change it. It runs Official LIneage OS 14.1 which is absolutely stable. I tested 2 Oreo Builds which work to the most extent but have a few bugs which make it a non daily driver material. Devs are still on it though. And some Xaomi devices have great dev suppport and some are absolutely trash, no offence to anyone.
I liked the motorola under google and my phone is from that age. As this device is under the Android One banner so I am considering it.
I am not a developer, I am a tinkerer. I don't critisize, I just inform things in a very detailed way.
I am in a dilemma between the Zenfone Max Pro and Motorola One Power. I prefer the Motorola One Power due to its software right now. I just hope they don't hold the dumb flash sales like Xaomi! ._.
Is there a specific reason or no one is interested?
No official working bootloader unlocking method from the get go of the phone and still only finicky methods.
No treble support.
Better value devices for custom development on the market with far quicker or out of the box official methods to unlock bl and "encouragement" from the manufacturer for custom development.
This phone is dead, we all need simply deal with it
Y'all better move on, as did I. Nokia don't do flagship right, you're better off with midrange. Don't buy Nokia 9 PureView too, it'll probably end up the same as 8.
I'm now jumping the ship to Samsung cuz the interface is no longer as it was years ago and security update is awesome.
