[OFFICIAL] LG G3 Updates/Speculation Thread

So this is still a thing, huh?

The dead horse must have come back from the dead.

I'm going to try to assume that Verizon found some bugs and that may be why this has not been let go. Regardless, have I mentioned how much I simply hate the Carrier based Android OS updating process?

 

[SpyderBite]

You really don't want to see a version roll out that doesn't get reworked by the carriers first. Some of the raw versions go as far as exploiting the carrier's spectrum for piggy backing unapproved data. Its not pretty.

There is a way to force the update look here. The update is official but my phone had a defective OTA tool forcing me to manual flash by this method. Does NOT require root. Thank goodness for Android Community on Google+ for pointing the link for me and others! Whoever says G+ is useless or dead hasn't been there!

Are we in a happy place now? Glad to see your G3 has the update. Party at Nick's place tonight.

 

[nickdalzell]

I hoped G+ would find a way to force the update and sure enough, they did.

 

[grdh20]

Who really know's if this version is the version that Verizon will actually push out or not .... If it is, it is pathetic that they can't allow the G3 users to get it already., The G4 is supposed to be announced next month. I guess that is how we will get it from verizon. It really does suck....

 

[andruoid]

Uh oh... we are outdated again... 5.1 is going to be released, possibly within days on Nexus devices.

 

[grdh20]

So they

Uh oh... we are outdated again... 5.1 is going to be released, possibly within days on Nexus devices.

might as well wait and push 5.1 then. Seems like 5.0.1 has too many bad bugs..

 

[dubie7006]

Oh noes! We're behind! Nexus devices got 5.1 today!!!!!!!!!1!!!!11!!!!!!!!!111!1!11!

I've tried google search and also tried to see if there is a way to manually flash this rom (as I've been able to do with Samsung phones in the past) and I am wondering if I am the only one out there..

So the official Lollipop update for the AT&T LG G3 rolled out last month, and I still don't have it. I am using an unlocked AT&T branded LG G3 on Cricket. It is NOT rooted or customized in any way, and yet when I check for updates, to this day it tells me there are no updates. I'm still on 4.4.2.

I did get the last minor OTA that AT&T released a few months ago, so I am not sure why I haven't got this one.. Anyone else in the same boat or know why in the hell my G3 hasn't got it yet? I understand the rollouts are staggered but I can't seem to find info on other people who are still waiting.. Seems everyone has it already.

As you have stated the over the air roll outs are staggered. Maybe you can get the update by plugging your phone into a PC and using the LG PC Suite to check for an update to get it that way.

Is this a thing? Might I be able to do that (if I really wanted to, which I'm not sure...) with my Verizon G3?

There is no staggered anything yet...

At this point Verizon should skip right to 5.1 with the G3 and try to save some face.

Actually, should wait until 5.1.1 as there is still a memory leak in 5.1. Google has said they've fixed it, but they have not given a release date for the 5.1 fix.

I'll stick with 4.4 stock. Runs like a dream for me.

Android is starting to sound like Windows with known bugs pushed out in updates. Are they going to push updates on a single day and call it OTA Tuesday.

Sorry for my late reply.. busy with work and couldn't find my thread cause it got moved lol.. I tried the LG sync tool and still tells me I am up to date with version D85010F...

 

[hilmar2k]

With the news that the Droid Turbo is skipping 5.0 and going right to 5.1 due to its inclusion of VoLTE, it makes sense that the G3 do the same thing, since it so supports VoLTE.

 

[Muckle Dabuckle]

T-Mobile's software update Web site just updated the G3 from "manufacturer development" to "T-Mobile testing" overnight.

[grdh20]

Frustrating all the way around....

 

[dubie7006]

I'm more frustrated in Google's inability to get a bugless OS update out as opposed to the fact that my carrier (Verizon) hasn't pushed out what Google has provided to them.

 

[swaggalicious_t]

I'm on the Verizon network and I'm the owner of a blaze red LG g3, which has yet to receive the ota lollipop update. Just wondering how much longer before I can experience it on my phone like everyone else on the competitor's network. My level of patience is evaporating.
