I just heard from verizon that the volte update is coming 12-11-14

I just heard from verizon that the volte update for the verizon m8 is coming thursday 12-11-14 they also call it the 4GLTE high speed calling update. I just know because they are claiming its supposed to help with 4g LTE data as softcard claims it will fix the issues my phone has with them.

Inb4 12-11-14 and no update. Doubt they are pushing anything out for VoLTE till next year.

Agree. Would make sense to integrate that roll-out into the Lollipop update, which would be due around January/February based on prior announcements.

I think the OP meant today, USA date convention, Thursday , Dec. 11 14. (12-11-14)

The idiots at softcard told me this update was coming out for my phone the m8, but they being idiots messed up and this update was for the droid turbo and not my m8. Verizon also screwed up and said it was for my m8 too, which today they confirmed that it was for the droid turbo and not my m8. You cant trust either to tell you the correct information.

[Q] LG G2, G4 and Nexus5

Hello,
I am planning to buy a smart phone. I have seen the models: Nexus5, LG G2 and LG G4 in a nearby shop.
I have the following questions:
Is it possible for LG G2 (and G4) to receive updates from google instantly, like Nexus 5 ? (The shop people said that it is possible)
Is LG G2 comes with stock android ?
Please advice. Thanks.

Anything is "possible" but only the Nexus 5 receives updates directly from Google from your list. And it won't be instant. It will be an incremental rollout.

Let's be clear on the terminology. I'm not aware of a phone that comes with stock Android (AOSP).

you'd also have to consider carrier branding, if your G2 or G4 are (for example) ATT, then the releases would have to go through ATT for approval before they are pushed to your phone. Nexus is google so they are directly rolled out incrementally to the nexus line (no carrier involvement)

G2 and G4 will never get update from google. The android on G2 and G4 are heavily modifed and reskined it is nothing like the stock android on nexus phones. Also if you buy G2 or G4 depening on the phone's origin (fron europe, from usa, from russia, branded phone like att, vodafone, orange, telenor etc) you may get updates with a huge delay or you may never get update.

LG branded device does not use stock Android, and will not receive quick updates from Google instead it will rely on your carrier for updates like most non-Nexus devices.
LG G2 already stopped receiving updates and in some countries (such as Canada) they will not even release Android 5, it is stuck on Kit Kat.
Nexus 5 will receive Android M in about 6 months, but that may be its last major update.

Thanks for your reply. I would like to buy Nexus6. Is there a good Customer Support and Service (Repair) for Motorola in India ? I heard that the Support is poor (or no support) for Motorola in India.

Nope, it won't be its last major update, look at nexus 4!, pretty sure that N4 gonna get M, and N5 will be updated a few more times. Furthermore, did you see how many updates got N10?

That's according to Google, though they could always change their mind down the road.

Will a new LG G5 still get OTA's?

I just ordered a new LG G5
Will it get all the OTA's from last year through today when I put it on the T MObile network?
It didn't occur to me until after I ordered it that it probably ships with the 6.0.1 version and that T Mobile might not still host the files for 8 or 9 updates from the last year. Will it do the updates even though the phone is a year old?

It should be able to do OTA, the files are hosted on LG servers. If you don't get OTA, you can always download the LG program on your computer and update using that.

Anyone here have a PIxel Phone in Canada?

Does your Carrier get in the way of receiving updates, I've had a Nexus 5X and a Pixel 2 before and as far as i remember the carriers Virgin Mobile and Bell never got in the was of updates. Then again i did used to flash updates sometimes so idk maybe they did? Anyway i have the Essential Phone from Koodo and i never got the July Security patch also i still never got Android 9.0 according to to Essential Sprint? and Telus do further testing before releasing updates. I contacted Koodo and they said they do testing on Pixel and Essential updates So i want to know if anyone has a Pixel phone with a carrier in Canada, Do the carriers delay and test updates on them? I wanna get a Pixel 3 but not from koodo if i gotta wait a month or more for updates. Oh and i was told and read many people take out the Koodo sim cards and slap in a different carrier sim card and thats how they've been downloading the 9.0 update on Essential from Koodo.:silly:

I have pixel 2 on Koodo, I got the Android 9 update the day it was released.. I've had multiple Nexus, pixel devices and never once missed or was late with an update.

AT&T Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G not getting security updates?

I had a Note 20 Ultra 5G (N986U) from AT&T.
It was stuck on Sept 1, 2020 security patch. I contacted AT&T and they were literally NO HELP!
All the other carriers are getting security updates for Oct and Nov.
I thought the software was malfunctioning so I had it replaced by Asurion with a BRAND NEW Note 20 Ultra 5G (N986U).
However the same issue. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a way to force install security updates?

Welcome to AT&T... Nothing wrong with your phone at all. AT&T are notorious for delaying updates.
They released the Sept. update extremally late and completely ignored the Oct. update.
Nov. update "might" happen around Thanksgiving.

I have the same issue. I thought it was my phone. I'm also on the September 1 security update.

I'm still on July 2020, check for updates and nothing. I tried wiping cache and that didn't change anything. I'm on the unlocked variant. Samsung needs to fix this ****.

As another pointed out, welcome to the world of At&t. Make sure you are on the correct firmware. When I wasn't getting updates I made sure I was on correct firmware path starting with ATH3. Once installed Ota kicked in updating me to BTIF. What also helped, I set date 2weeks ahead then checked for update.

Are you using a N20U ? It wasn't even out in July but if you are is it Snapdragon or Exynos ?..... I'm using an unlocked SD one and its on the November security patch. I got the update a couple days ago.

The 1st build was July even though it wasn't out in July
