Marshmallow

Will the flex 2 get android M and is there a way to get lgg4 camera on the flex 2 i hate not having more options on this phone also my lg optimus g which was all glass way before the s6 is in my opinion one of the greatest phones of all time thanks

The original Flex still doesn't have LP officially, so there's a chance the trend will stick for the Flex 2. I can say that the G4 & maybe G3 will receive 6.0 next year. The G2 was leaked with 5.1.1, which will likely be the final update.

So u think this phone with the newest snapdragon and i know they say it ober heats and also im mad i dont have 3 gigs like advertised of ram but i hope we get an update because this phone was launched on lolipop

It's not clear what LG will do. The Flex was also a fast phone with the SD800, and that didn't encourage them to update it either...I think we should stay positive and see what LG does by 2016.

Im really disappointed with the lack of development on this phone. its got beter specs than most phones out there and Im sure it would be a killer with an aosp rom...probably gonna trade it for the nexus 6

Locked boot loader is interfering with development, but I don't recall LG ever releasing kernel sources for this model either.

Good News for the G Flex 2!

Just announced at CES 2015 that the G Flex 2 is confirmed to be getting Android 6.0 AKA Marshmallow! Here is a link:
http://www.slashgear.com/android-marshmallow-update-coming-to-lg-g4-g3-not-g2-27399720/
So the phone is definitely not dead, surprised that the G3 might not get the update, for those who was debating between these two phones.

Well, low popularity doesn't mean dead. It's barely half a year old anyway. Great news indeed though.

Well these are great news !

I just got the H959 TWN version. I think I love it more than my G4 H815 except the Camera.
Flex 2 is so much more snappier than G4 and surprising not as hot the G4. The Curve and the RED back cover is nice. I don't really miss the leather back. Now I have 2 devices to play with. Best of the Best LG .......Life's Good!

Ya, I made a post a few days ago about it getting gooey goodness. This phone is a beast. I love it.

Of course this phone is going to get it. It's still new and just came out this year if there was folks thinking the opposite then idk what to say. Now the big question is when do you think this device is planning on getting 6.0? That's the big question, so far I've been running Android M on my nexus 6 for some time and it is great very nice update and I'm guessing it will roll out and be official around October or somewhere around there so I'm curious to know how long from there will it take the flex 2bto get it.

Good news will be when I find this fcking phone on ebay <270$ :'(
Anyway its good, but lock bootloader deprives custom ROMs.

Indeed good news! Some of us that called the phone "dead " we meant the lack of custom roms and in general the lg,s decision of not unlocking bootloader.
Even with m it will be also dead from developers perspective.

Not feeling too comfortable and confident with the list. G flex? That never got Lollipop. And how easily it was forgotten, I wouldn't be surprised if G Flex 2 is also forgotten.
Kind if crazy how the list is so short. LG needs to unlock their bootloaders really. I don't see how it G4 flagship can keep the publics interest at all. Eeesh.

As I know on LG G4 international you can unlock bootloader, but not for the other versions.
So now I'm with G2 and it doesn't get android 6. I hope I will find G Flex 2 for the good price.

I can not get 6.0 if they will unlock bootloader in 5.1.1. There is lot of bad things on stock rom. Small difference between max and min display light, alarm volume and lot of more mistakes!

Hope this is true. Maybe by then we will have an unlocked bootloader figured out

The high minimum brightness is there for reason. Lower brightness = more grainy display.
I doubt LG will fix that in some update. You can use app called Darker - works great but picture gets more grainy..
Grainy display and no manual camera are my main issues with this phone.

The android 6.o is coming, will Flex2 have chance to update?

Hope our flex2 will get the updata~
http://en.yibada.com/articles/59349...lex-2-lg-g-flex-lg-g4-lg-g3-lg-g-pad-10-1.htm
some website said we will, but no official information about the update

Doubt it

Lg is unpredictable..... Lol

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.

The article mentioned that the LG Flex may not get Marshmallow, the LG G Flex2 will get Marshmallow, no doubt about that.
And yes they hopefully fix the Stagefright 2.0 bugs too.

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?

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.

LG v10 gets official bootloader unlock

Maybe we'll get an official unlock too
But I don't think so :c

that maybe we also will get an bootloader unlock on marshmallow just like the v10 is getting it on marshmallow

I believe after we get marshmallow lg will unlock flex2's bootloader. Just a thought...

my opinion is:
V10 is getting all the attention from the market right now (even more than G5) because for me is way better than G5 (only thing i love in G5 is SD820 and double cameras) and i think LG see the potential in V10 such a excelent device and now they will have to give oportunity to developers to turn that phone into biggest and better than they already are!
i am sure G Flex2 will not have Bootloader Unlocked because nobody cares...and for the price they are in the market's now LG dont have profit enough to keep the eyes on GF2 and that's it!
- and V10 price is so good now, i can grab one here from 400€ or less new with guarantee and everything, sure if my G Flex2 turns boring i am sure within 4/5 months i go for V10...

I think v10 will be bad choice. At the moment phones comes with sd820 or exynos 8890. In this case sd808 lower segment processor with 2k screen.

Okay I'll mention this once again it seems most of LG phones once you hit marshmallow you can bootloader unlock them I have 3 friends with different LG phones all three of which are marshmallow and got their bootloader unlocked

But they only provide bootloader unlock for the European models....even the LG g4 (non-euro) has got an locked bootloader.

Lg plays with our nerves lol.
Lg cares about our warranty we will get bootloader unlock after our 2 years warranty is over lol.

if they care about the warranty, why the V10 already have the BL unlocked?! that device comes out in less than 1 year and look at that now?! have the BL unlocked and G Flex2 is more close to 2 years than V10 are!

Kidding before lol but as far as i remember the official answer from lg was that lg encountered some issues with older devices than g4 european bootloader unlock . I think this is bullsh...but ....we cannot answer for sure
http://developer.lge.com/community/...nuId=55&contsTypeCode=NOT&prodTypeCode=MOBILE
Q> Why do you support unlocking the bootloader to*the H815 (G4) for the European market*only?
It is not possible for previously launched devices to support the bootloader unlock in the same way due to the technical issues*that cannot be resolved through software update or carrier restrictions.

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.

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.
