Simple question. Will the g2 get official 4.4.4 or android L?
Most probably g2 will get android so called L version according to many sources as G2 and G3 are the main flagships of LG.
Surely we will have to wait a little longer .. We know lg isnt best known for updates.

Has anybody gotten the update to android 6.0 aka android m yet? If not do you know when we will get it?
No sprint users have gotten marshmallow yet. No one knows the date, it was leaked to becoming in december, that got pushed back to january 2016, but really no one knows for sure.
Ok thanks for the info
Eta is first quarter. Could be January or several months away. We won't know until it gets here.
I thinking it has to be releases to note 5 directly first, then sprint will get it and test it. I could be wrong though.
Hi guy's...as almost people alerady knows the LG G4 and a few days ago the G3 already have the Marshmallow 6.0 update, i already have it on my G3 and so far i love it...the biggest difference between 5.0/5.1 to 6.0 from LG is the UI, we get new UI and the notification icons on top of screen are smaller and more beautiful as some a game optimizer setting, camera now have slow motion video recording like G Flex2 and the clock on lockscreen now only hours are show and nothing of circle around the digital hours and of course the new 6.0 functions and battery now last for more 4/5 hours!
But, i own the G Flex2 too, and for logic G4 is first to receive it, and G Flex2 is second since they are launched later than G3 but i dont understand why LG launch the MM for G3 first!
Anyone know when we gonna get the 6.0 Marshmallow update for G Flex2?
Thanks

I will add more answers here if I get them. So for now we have some good news but.... no unlocked bootloader
LG Turkey says Lg g flex 2 will not receive marshmallow.
I care more abut the bootloader unlocking so we can have cm13... but I asked from LG Benelux about where can I find that but no answer yet. I think they meant G4
It will receive Android 6.0 .. this phone is not even 1 year old, dont listen to supports they are clueless and not informed.

Interesting. If the tool is available we should have it, so it probably doesn't exist and they just mixed up G Flex 2 with G4

i see a post in GSMArena with official update list from all brands...and G Flex2 is on the list...
i dont know if they are official or not but is from the later december last year so...i dont belive since may to december this could be a rumor, if they are they dont last for so long time...
let's wait and see!
yea, I'm already waiting for the M update and I was hoping we will get it before the G3, however...
btw, is that an X SP in your sig, @copy2050 ?
Im waiting bootloader unlock before change the phone...
I dont care about official updates if bootloader is free...
I compile whatever I want
So confused, some say yes we get MM others no. Some say bootloader may be unlockable eventually and others say it's never gonna happen. Just got the Flex 2 and selling G3 and I can live with whatever happens but it's crazy trying to figure out anything. Currently I am on ZV9 and unrooted deciding whether or not to root the phone. Aaaaack, going crazy.....
we're om the list lookv here

It is highly unlikely that there will be BL unlock for this phone. And Marshmallow for Flex2 - highly likely.

Like I see, LG is not a user and dev friendly company. If they wouldn't give us a update, it would be polite to unlock the bootloader. About 6.0 update I think that snapdragon 810 is a party pooper, it's more time/money consuming to develop cos G4 and V10 and maybe more models use the same 808 chip. But let me be wrong and LG will honor our devices, or this will be my first and a last LG phone I'll own

yes...i own a X SP some years ago...why?
I send request to the sunshine team http://theroot.ninja/ , it's paid solution to unlock locked bootloaders htc and Motorola, maybe when they see a lot of people willing to paid for unlock they release sunshine unlock for LG too?

Well according to one of the slovak android sites,it was already confirmed that G Flex 2 will get Android 6.0,however the time when exactly is not sure. But i would keep eye on polish market,they get updates always much sooner than rest of the world.
Source of list: https://www.mojandroid.sk/zoznam-zariadenia-android-6-0-marshmallow/
Re. Bootloader unlock it is very unlikely having this sorted. But if any of you know a capable dev, then let's get funds together. I am ok to give 20 to 50 USD. If a 100 people can do the same someone might get interested.

Hi guys,
Any suggestion or leak news that this update will arrives officially on our wonderful device?
LG v10 came in October 2015, so if I'm right, 2 years of Android updates support and we will receive Android 7!
Post here any news spread in the web [emoji2]

from my experience with LG devices and updates, firt G5 will receive the 7.0 until ends of September/October and next V10 until ends of December or earlyer January! Dont bother too much, we will receive it anyway!
There is no root for Marshmellow so likely nougat will be more impenetrable. I'm sticking to Marshmellow and waiting for a root.
There is way, way too much crap-ware on verizon phones not to be rooted.

depends wich variant you have, in some variants the bootloader is unlockable and then have root like mine!
i am sure LG will make all variants unlockable-able bootloader so, you need to wait if you have a locked one!

Verizon (or any other cell company) has no vested interested in giving root access to it's customers. The phones are loaded with crap ware to data mine what you are doing. That is valuable data to Verizon and they are not about to lose that income stream if they can help it.
I've had previous Verizon phones with the same "locked down" problems. Even though the phone would play MP3, etc; that made it so you HAD to buy any music you wanted to play through their Verizon store. Outrageous when I have 250GB of music archive I want to choose from.
I held my nose and went back to Verizon because we are planning to move to a rural area and Verizon was the only company that had any coverage. Stuck again in locked down hell.
Someone PLEASE find a way to root these phones!

Root the V10 with bootloader locked and Android 6.0 Marshmallow is impossible...
The only method to root V10 with bootloader locked is on 5.1.1 Android Lollipop with some kind of dump, i know its possible because when i have my G Flex 2 i have bootloader locked and i root it in 5.1.1, but when update to 6.0 Marshmallow i cant root so, if you want root for now you need to be in 5.1.1.
We will get android 7 for sure but i also do not expect it before the end of the year. They will first focus on G5 which most probably will get it around september/october and after that will work on V10 and G4. Android 7 have some good new features like the multitasking and advanced doze mode but frankly my V10 is working perfectly even now with marshmallow so i am in no rush to get the update as soon as possible. Lets hope that we will get it as christmas present before end of the year.
Outside of vulkan I couldn't care less about nougat.
In fact I think it should be called 6.1 not 7.0, there is nothing interesting about it multiple windows? This has been around for awhile if the app supports it.. My note 3 had multi window support and so does the LG v10 it's pretty useless

It should also be noted that marshmallow doze features can be enhanced with 3rd party apps such as ForceDoze which can decrease the time it takes for doze to kick in when the screen is off.

seems like they made a teaser for android 7 on LG V10 on their IG post lol

I posted this from Android Authority about a week ago...
LG Android Nougat Update
LG has earned pretty good reputation among devs for updating their flagships faster than anyone else to the latest Android version. Last update also, LG updated their flagship, LG G4 to Marshmallow soon after the update was released for the Nexus devices. We can expect that for the current flagship LG G5 and the previous flagship LG G4 with LG Android 7.0 Nougat Update.
Here is the list of all devices which will get LG Android Nougat Update :
LG G5
LG G4
LG V10
These are the devices which are confirmed to get the Nougat Update from LG, we don’t have any confirmation till now. We’ll be updating the post when it will be available.
Also, LG’s updates are generally lagged by the carriers in US, so the LG Android Nougat Update timeline may vary from different carriers like Verizon, Sprint, etc. And we can expect the updates to come to the devices listed above just after 2 months from release of Android Nougat.
Long story short, at least we're getting it. After rumors of the V20 coming out already many people believed LG would forego the update to pressure people into buying the V20. We know now, that's not the case.
I for one would really like the Nougat update. Split screen might have existed since a long time ago but official support from Google means wider adoption. Vulkan of course is another must have feature along with the improved Doze. I also love the interface seen on the V20 including the notification/quick toggle shade. The V20 also allows the second screen toggles to work whilst the main screen is on (sound, wifi, flash, camera etc.), something that the V10 does not allow. Hopefully this will be implemented as well along with other second screen improvements like allowing all notifications to go on the second screen.
The doze improvements can be brought to marshmallow via ForceDoze which can make doze kick in immediately when the screen is off.
Multi screen I have never found particularly useful for even big screen phones, there is simply not enough room to legitimately work with. Great for tablets nearly useless for phones.
Correct me of I am wrong but The hardware has to support vulkan in order to take advantage of it right? Pretty useless unless you've got a newer phone that can use it.
Nougat to me sounds more like a minor update (should be 6.1 not 7). It sounds like the most lackluster update to android yet.

LG G5 F700L Korean version has got Nougat 7.0. I am from India and I got this update via LG bridge software,
I do have LG V10 but still no luck with LG bridge. I manually downloaded MM kdz file from LG site and flashed.
It was quite unfortunate though, as back when Nougat was released last year, LG initially listed G4 and V10 to receive Nougat. I just hope with the re-affirmation by them that they will test the firmware well and not do a botched job of the Nougat build. Since it is highly unlikely we are getting the next O software by Google, let's hope we atleast get the latest Nougat 7.1/7.2.
question: I love and hate this phone...camera is great in steady shot, but when fast focus is needed it fails. When I take pics of kids, lots of pic. came out blurry, now, what do you think, can Nougat fix this or it's just slow hardware?

i think Nougat doesnt fix what you want, only thing Nougat will bring to us most likely is the new UI from G5/V20 or G6, some doze optimizations, multi-window will be more friendly and nothing more...
hope they can fix the Hi-Fi DAC to be used with the speaker and not only with the earphones, hope to less system storage ocupied by the system and more to the user, and really hope the GPS will be fixed too because my V10 fixing time of GPS is fast but, every 2/3 minuts lost signal and this is really what have dissapointing me in this device!
...and (i dont belive this will happen but) i hope they remove the sh1tty beauty mode for the front facing camera, this make the photos look ugly and have 0 quality!
Since this probably will be the last OS to our V10 i think users deserve unlockable bootloaders and then users can cook their own rom's and kernels (this is a dream for me since day 1 of have the phone in my hands, since july last year!).
