Hi,
I am living in Thailand. I just checked right now and "the number of roll-out updates has been exceeded." It means that i have to update via KIES like last time.
I will install and report.

Cool! I'm going to try it tonight. Will be interested to hear back if its a stock rom without any extra apps, and if the UI is quick

Need a Google Drive link, this Hotfile download is awful.

I installed it last night and really no noticeable difference to me between MG7 and the latest India FW. Been super busy with work so haven't put it through it's paces yet. Will report back when I test it more.

This firmware is a bit faster than others, and the smearing issue is almost fixed!!!!

the best firmware so far.. i like the look of the bounce effect in the volume levels, i feel the device more cold, more fast

Any one kind enough to post this somewhere else other than hotfile please?

No noticeable changes. Anyway saying otherwise is spouting placebo.

It is has the Myanmar Language support...That's all changes:laugh:

The only difference I have noticed is my phone seems to be running a bit warmer. I'll keep it... I was on the Indian rom before.

Can someone please tell how can I know which firmware is newer as in BMG1 , BMG5 , BMG5, BMG9 ? How can I find out which firmware is the latest? Thanks.
Oh and one more thing, I am running Indian firmware bmg5 right now, can I flash this bmg7 over it? Will I need to factory reset my device after installing this Thailand firmware? And does this firmware improve the camera launch lag issue ?

no.... MH1(PGU) is latest firmware than MH1 china and MG7 and its having the highest changelist for i9500

I will never understand the reason Samsung refuses to give global updates. I doubt server costs, CSC and language & modem is a geniune issue.
Can anyone confirm any bloatware apps with firmware like the china ones?

I flashed this now, coming from MG9. Can't comment on stability or battery life yet, will try post some feedback tomorrow or something. I can say that the firmware is "Claro" branded, and comes with an 14 extra crapware! Gonna have to root and get rid of that crap!

I was quite unhappy about how slow it was on MG9. I think this feels quicker. Should have done some testing with a stopwatch or something.
Actually just testing it now, I'm pretty sure it's quicker. (hope this isn't my mind playing tricks on me) haha

Yours is B14, this is D09??? Not sure how the cam fw naming convention works, but I would imagine this is newer?

CLARO belongs to america movil it has 241,000,000 users, and is the third biggest company worlwide..

This discussion about Claro is fascinating, but any feedback on the actual ROM? Any noticeable differences with the Thai ROM?

Compared to Thai rom, I dunno... Never used Thai. But compared to BMG9, I've noticed the following...
1 Battery Drain
Seems worse. I've had my phone off charge for 2hrs this morning, lost only 4% battery, but screen only on for 4mins. Android OS eating 43%... But ROM may still be "settling in" (I'm not even sure if this happens in reality, but I've read something along those lines before).
2. Camera appears to open faster
3. Overall the general responsiveness of the ROM feels to be improved.
4. The auto-brightness curve appears to have changed. It is much improved on my phone, think the sensor is functioning better
Can't comment on too much more at this stage. I'd be interested to see if someone can verify my findings...

Just an update, the software update greatly improves performance. The phone is now very snappy. Noticed that RAM usage decreased as well (I usually get around 200+ MB Free, now I get 600+MB).
Don't know about thermal throttling issues though, will have to test further.
Phone remains on Android 5.0.1 (software version V10c-SEA-XX)

Has the update fixed any of the performance issues? People have reported?
I've not received it yet but looking forward to it...
Hopefully it will be the fix we've been waiting for and the people who returned their phone and exchanged them for some something else will regret being so impatient..
Fingers crossed

Where do u live?
Please continue to report about the update

I'm in the uk ... With no update just yet.

Just got 10c a minute ago and it's a mixed bag. Phone is much hotter now but faster. But there is still lag for Facebook external share, 3x longer than g3

Just downloaded and installed it now OTA. Seems lag is fixed, or at least reduced, but still testing.

Update: phone is definitely snappier, lag gone as far as I can tell. No excessive heat issues so far. Nice update!

Gotcha, O2 ahead of Vodafone then

Ha! Interesting. This morning the phone notified me of an update (Sprint US), so I promptly tried. The phone rebooted, was installing for a while, then I got the picture of an Android in a coma with the triangle stuck in his belly. What now I said. You can't pull the battery and I didn't find any reset holes. Power+volume down. The phone booted and is working fine but no update installed and get this... no update available. WT actual F?
Edit: Found the thread for people with the same problem.

Has the H959 recieved 5.1.1?

Hi there
New to posting here, but I've been a reader for a few years.
I'm wondering if people in the know could help me out. I'm looking to purchase a new device and I'm looking pretty hard at the G Flex 2 (its really cheap).
The model is a LG G Flex2 4G LTE H959 varient with 2gb of RAM.
Has this model received an update to Lollipop 5.1.1 yet? How is it's performance? I see wildly differing reviews online.
Thanks in advance for any info.

Yes it does, it's a lot better with 5.1.1
There is a thread here about it

Ugh sorry I missed that.
The thread is talking about updating via flashing KDZ files?
Isn't the update available via OTA?

My HK version still hasn't received it OTA if it helps.

The OTA is still not released and KDZ seems to not be published by LG as well because of a message from your phone when you boot it.. But it works just fine so
