Flex2 would not be one of those.
One thing we can count on is that Flex2 is probably EOL.
This perhaps not so soon. The phone is old just about a year and a half.
Don't think we'll be that lucky.

LG is a piece of garbage when it comes to updates. Worse than this, they don't even allow us to unlock bootloader to do this for ourself.
Unlikely.
Most variants (H950, LS996, US995) did not even get 6.0.

Better than Samsung...at least you can say that...I rank oems like this
1. Motorola
2. HTC
3. LG
10. Samsung
Yep, I went straight to 10 with Samsung because they're piss poor on support
You guys just got lollipop and you think the flex going to get 7.0 lol?

yeah, "got" MM. Just a fraction of devices got the update while majority is still officially on 5.1.1.
At least getting 7.0 on a snapdragon 810 is remotely possible... maybe LG decided to skip MM and go directly for nougat. But then again, why would they. They've probably already fired the last engineers involved in the development and nobody remembers last years flagship phone, even though there are DOZENS of users like us waiting desperately for a newer firmware
There will never be 7.0 for Flex 2 . Please guys, just be real..

No custom ROM for LG G Flex 2 and very slowly update to marshmallow . Android nougat 7.0 is not possible for this phone is fact and real.
I wonder if 7.0 will come with an unlocked bootloader?
lol, only joking

The Moto G will probably be supported for 1 to 1,5 years as long as the hardware can take it.
I hope they give us Key Lime Pie (5.0) before they decide to stop updates for it.
Moto has been on the ball lately in getting updates for older devices like the Razrs so I'm holding onto hope that it will get a few more updates.

If they supported before i am sure that they will supporting it now, since they are a google company.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It should in theory get 18 months support, so Android 5.0 is a real possibility, as Google is now concentrating on getting Android to run on lower spec smartphones.
BUT
Motorola could if they want stop support for the Moto G after only 12 months, because when all said and done it isn't a true Nexus device, even though they are now owned by Google, and alot of companies don't really support their low end smartphones beyond a 12 months period, and by the time Android 5.0 is out they have a Moto G replacement in the wings.

Google are the ones who have said 18 months of updates for their nexus line. I'd imagine they will do this with Motorola as well. Hey...beats some phone makers.
Sent from my Moto X cell phone telephone.....
Well we all assume that the moto g is a "mini-nexus" and that's why it can have up to 18 months updates but, motorola never said so. It can be that it stops earlier, specially considering that its a mid-range device.
Though motorola's CEO did said they will focus on releasing less devices and give them better support. This last year (2013) they only released two devices, which is in track of what he said in that interview but doesn't guarantee that "more support" is meant to be more than a year.
I'm pretty sure it will see android 5.x , assuming google won't go all the way from 4.4 to 4.5, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9 before the big jump

"Lollipop" or "Licorice" would be my guess.
There are already lot of first-class devs around here, so I think the future of the Moto G is in good hands even without any official support

Defy+ only got to GB 2.3.6 but Quarx made it possible to decently run 4.4.2 on the old trusty defy. It's has been a long way from froyo to kitkat.
So if the Moto Gee gets attention from developers and I'm sure it will we have nothing to worry about.
I don't care as long as the hardware gets yearly updates ? If they bring out a moto g 2 for the same price with the latest firmware I'll upgrade every year,just hope the moto g 2 gets LTE

I really like the look of the G Flex 2 and want to get 1, but the things I read were mainly overheating and underperformance issues with the SD810 soc. So now I read some positive things after the 5.1.1 update, so my question is does the H955 version run cool and well after this update or is it the 810 afterall?

Well im from Holland so it will be a euro version, and 1 year ago orso lawyers had a case about rooted phones with no warrenty. They were succesfull and since then you keep your warranty unless you destroyed the phone due to that( think Samsung even repairs bricked phones for free but that aside). So every other thing falls under warranty here even if the manufacturer claims otherwise
Hope our flex2 will get the updata~

All i want is my unlocked blootloader, 6.0 will be cool, but all i can pray for is that Lg blesses us with a unlocked bootloader.
It's their fastest phone, but the chance of M is probably 20/80. Chance of an unlocked bootloader, 5/95. I'm curious about a stagefright 2.0 patch.

Do you have an LG source for your certainty that the Flex 2 will get M? LG has a pretty poor track record -- the first gen Flex never got Lollipop.

I hope you're wrong about 20/80 for Marshmallow. The phone is only ~6 months old and abandonment by LG would be a pretty miserable business decision. As far as unlocking bootloader, we'll more likely get that unofficially as a result of developer effort (highly unlikely without some LG tech leak) but overall the odds are probably even worse than 5%, especially for those of us with AT&T model.
If there will not be a 6.0 update for this device, i'm gonna buy a freaking iphone and never look back on android ... srsly, i'd be done with it and its fragmentation bs forever. Vendorlock me to apple crap.

Intuitively, logically, and reasonably we should expect Marshmallow and the rumors floating around on the android sites are a good sign, but personally I won't bank on it until LG puts out something official. The original Flex was release only 9 weeks earlier than the Flex 2 the prior year (Oct 27 2013 versus Jan 5 2015) and the first Flex never saw Lollipop.

The Flex and G2 had the same SoC, yet LG abandons it with no apology to users. I can't even find a reason for why they'd abandon a phone with those specs while it still had KitKat. Heck. I don't even understand why KitKat never came to the ATT LG Optimus G despite having the S4 Pro.

I see where you are coming from here, but I think that the flex 2 is much better and more popular than the original flex. I don't fully understand why the deep price cut, but it will dramatically increase sales no doubt.
Sidebar: Thanks again to help me confirm I had bad sensors. I sent the phone to LG for repair under warranty and they replaced the entire screen. When I got the phone back it was updated to 5.1.1, so now I don't have to worry about trying to coerce an OTA (sweet!). Battery life is stellar so far and no heat issues. Marshmallow would be a real treat (pun intended) on this phone, so I will stay hopeful that we'll get it (eventually)
Anyway if LG doesn't keep his word, I won't buy his device anymore
6.0
LG Flex 2 IS getting Marshmallow, U can bet your S'mores on it.

Guys. And gals? I am needing to snag an upgrade. I have note 4 ...The real reason is to get my bill down with the new pricing on easy pay. But on 16th they will go up 10 bucks. So ive been searching hard. 810 rumors are rampid. Id rather ask you users. Has the throttling stopped since the updates? Was this really the korean model? Or? How does the screen look compared to note 4? I ask because i love amoled. I also like the fact the flex is not seen much in the hand around my parts,of town. Lol. I see development is lacking. Guess no loki? Wonder why sprint would sell the flex 2 with locked bootloader? Oh well. 5.1.1 and up should fix all the lag. Please if you feel you might have some front facts on all this i hope u would give me all your opinions based on ownership. Thanks.

Sweet. So like myself youve had plenty of latest flagships. How crisp is the screen? Any pentile effect? Or is it as sharp as say note 3 or 4?
Sent from my SM-N910P using XDA Free mobile app
First thing I noticed was how much better the screen looked imo then the note 3 not as good as g3 sharpness but close and colors are better since its amoled.
Everyone don't wet it! The update will contain Band 12 VoLTE and E911. VoIT is in question? I got this info from higher tech support. Took about 4 days to get official answer. I believe this is the reason why we in the good old of USA haven't received this update sooner! They are working out possible issues with this radio update for marshmallow.
it's been known for at least a week or even more (on g+ post)
I will believe it when it is released.

Do plenty of research first. I sent my 6p back because after 4 days of normal use the frame was twisting. It would no longer sit flat. I carried my phone in my front pocket as i have done with all my phones. I also had much worse reception. I constantly dropped to 3g at work whereas with this phone I don't. If on Verizon there is also no visual voicemail so if you have advanced calling enabled you get text messages instead of a notification that you have voicemail periodically. Your mileage may vary but I couldn't wait to be rid of it.

Same here.. got the phone.. it's working as it should be.... there are some fixes you can get from the dev sections... not like this phone came out the box broken that MM was going to make it feel like a totally different phone from what I bought...
You know Nexus phones get the updates right away.. so why didn't you just buy the Nexus instead of the MXPE? Sounds like a personal problem...
C'mon, apologists. Waiting a few extra weeks isn't the end of the world for most of us, but it should've been out by now, given Moto's near-stock software design. The fact that it's taking longer to update their brand new, revolutionary, carrier-free flagship than some competitors' heavily-skinned, carrier-variable models is a very bad sign about Lenovo's priorities.
If 11 months from now we're finding out that the MXPE will not be receiving Android N at all, we can probably look back to this episode and say: "you know, we should've seen this coming." I'm enjoying my phone, but I absolutely don't blame anyone for hedging in favor of the 6P despite a few weaknesses (no expandable storage) because of Lenovo's poor showing this past 3-4 weeks.
So, go to the dev section and install MM...

Can you link to where Moto/Lenovo gave the MXPE an exact date of when MM was going to come out? Last I heard they were rollin' it out in phases... and even then, there were no exact dates... if peeps want to spend more on the 6P/Nexus and not worry about delayed updates, then they should have bought it, but yet, they didn't and are complaining about the "slow" updates on the phone(s) they 'decided' to buy instead..
Go to the dev section and install those MM updates posted there if you guys are really that bent on getting MM on your device...
I can wait, nothing in MM that I really want, much less need, anyways...
A few weeks is nothing. We'll get it.
This isn't like the Atrix and ICS, where the phone was out for a fair bit and also canned once google bought Moto. The phone is new. If other regions are getting it first, then that's just how the testing works.
They really don't want a repeat of Lollipop. I heard horror stories on how badly that update botched the 2nd Gen Moto X.

Do those dev section roms include T-Mobile B12 & VoLTE support??? That's what many of us are waiting for. If it was only a matter of wanting MM then yeah, that's a no-brainer, but no way I'm going through all that crap for a rom that doesn't have the T-Mobile support I've been waiting for all along.
From what I can tell there is no band 12 in the Indian mm but doze works ****ing wonders on this phone even completely stock. I'm on modded marshmallow now and will switch to official mm when its released. Simple enough
Hey guys.
I found out that G3 is confirmed to receive Nougat update in February 2017.
Considering our phones' stronger hardware do you think we are going to receive the update too? I know the Spring and Att versions havent got MM yet but still.
I think it would be a pity if LG upgraded a SD801 devices and not our 810.
I think G3 with Nougat is a bit false information. Because they stated that they didn't release graphics drivers for SD800/SD801
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Well yeah I think youre right.But I so thrive for 7.0 or root on MM,I wouldnt go back to lollipop just for gaming.
It is so horrible that a flagship like this has no root and bad gaming performance that it almost seems unreal
All we Need is root - or hardwaremodification with some heatpipes and stuff
Its certainly false alarm,since SD 801 was discontinued by Qualcomm so it wont get Nougat any time,same goes to Nexus 5, SGS5 and many others. But there is still chance tho, SD 810 is still supported and after G5 fiasco LG might be better to customers. But the chance is really,really small,if we do get Nougat,i think its gonna be in H2 2017,so long time on MM ahead.

Well its HD2 is legend and is showing what a will of community can do. However,reason behind LGs flagship not getting Nougat is simple, LG dont give a f... as they dont do only phones like HTC for example and they dont earn much as division. That and lack of root tools of LG tools which leads to this situation.
I just saw the HTC Bolt specs which was announced today. Its running Android 7.0 and has exactly the same Chipset, CPU and GPU as Flex 2. So, from hardware point of view there is absolutely no problem that we receive also 7.0 at some time. The question is does they want to upgrade it or not.
Everyone who thinks Flex 2 is getting Android N needs psychiatric consultation.
Im just hopeful here
But still im waiting for black friday to buy another phone.A G5 or Oneplus 3,I cant stand G Flex anylonger,I mean..its a great phone overall but gaming on MM is awful and is not a suitable phone for a power user anyway
I would wait a bit. S7 will get cheaper next year, HTC 10 also,well every phone will get cheaper. G5 isnt bad phone,but im afraid of support, Oneplus 3 is great but you cant actually buy it anymore,only 1+3T. Im checking for HTC 10,it looks very well and its metal,i dont want glass phone anymore after Xperia.

HW isnt problem, Nexus 6P has mostly the same specs and has Nougat for a while, Bolt too. Its only on OEM when and if they publish update. But im worried they wont, original G Flex had same history,got Lollipop after hard times with KK and thats it. Small spark of hope still exists tho,at least until LG will deny update officially.

I would wait a bit. S7 will get cheaper next year, HTC 10 also,well every phone will get cheaper. G5 isnt bad phone,but im afraid of support, Oneplus 3 is great but you cant actually buy it anymore,only 1+3T. Im checking for HTC 10,it looks very well and its metal,i dont want glass phone anymore after Xperia.

Same hardware has htc one m9 and nougat 7.0 officialy update in 2017 .
Yeah,thats what im talking about. Its all about OEM and LG isnt really good when it comes to updates,i dont have experience with G series,but G Flex support is awful,but who knows,maybe they can prove me wrong.
