Don't mind my typo in the typo, I don't know what happened there.
I have the LG G2 D800 variant, as well the Samsung Galaxy Alpha SM-G850A. Both of these phones are AT&T branded, and both have had Lollipop released for them on April 14th 2015 (5 days ago).
However, when I check for updates on both phones I'm told my software is up to date. I'm on Wi-Fi with a 60% charge.

For the LG, follow this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g2/general/update-to-stock-lolipop-d80030f-root-t3084081
For the Samsung, I do not know
An official update was released 5 days ago, this is a stock phone. When I check for an update the phone tells me no update available.
Do you have an At&t sim. If yes then the update must be available if no then you have to follow the process in the link the guy gave

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.
Nexus 5: OS updates through Q3 2015, security updates through Q3 2016.

Wait 4 or 5 months for the Nexus 5 2015.
I've just got a nexus 5 for a while until the mk2 version is released

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.
I bought a V50 here in the UK that was originally sold by the Australian network Telstra, The phone works fine but I didn't know before I bought it that Telstra V50's have not yet been updated to Android 10.
Is it at all possible to change the firmware so I can get Android 10 quicker ? Not changed any firmware before but if someone has a idiot's guide lol
Thanks
No...
Same boat over here in Oz...
Thanks for the reply, That's a shame the phone is nice but I am a bit concerned about the security updates are still saying October 2019.
Might have to sell and go for a S20 instead.
S20 is trash. Compared to this phone

Says someone ho has the benefit of being upgraded..
Seriously, still on Android 9 and security patch is October 2019...
No Android 10 in sight and LG passing the buck back to Google saying they haven't released the OTA to us here in Australia yet.
Hardware might be good but the software support is straight down the toilet. Honestly, this was supposed to be a flagship device, I've had $200 phones with better support, LG should be ashamed...
Android 10 has FINALLY been released for Australian V50's...
Hello so I bought a note 9 on offer up and everything went well when trying to connect it to a different phone provider, but now I have discovered that I am not receiving Over air updates due to my phone not being connected to the AT&T service. Is there any way to update my phone to the latest software?
