------Reply to Your Inquiry-------
Hi Marko,
Thank you for contacting LG Mobile Communications.
I’d be glad to assist you today with regard your LG G Flex 2 mobile phone. In response to this inquiry, I’m afraid no confirmation has been provided for the LG G Flex 2 unit regarding the Marshmallow update since the software has been released by Google. The reason for the release date variation is because software updates follow a certain process.
For Android, it is faster to receive updates on Google products (for phones, that’s the Nexus line) or on unlocked/rooted units wherein the update may be installed manually (although not supported by LG as this is a customization). For carrier-specific devices, this may take longer and will vary. After a phone manufacturer like LG prepares the software with the help of the developer (Google who made Android), the update will have to run through carriers PCS in order for them to incorporate carrier-specific features - and also test the new software thoroughly on the network. After some collaboration, the carrier will then approve the update and push it out to your device which will then be downloaded and installed through the network signals from your carrier.
As such, you may also directly correspond with your carrier if they already have an estimated date for the release of the update. In case that there’s none yet, I’m afraid we’ll still have to wait. I do apologize.
I hope this information has been helpful in addressing your concern. Should you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us again via Email, Live Chat, or Phone by calling 800-793-8896.
Thank you for choosing LG.
Sincerely,
Jade

Yeah. Typical waste of time response. But its sad that even LG itself is recommending you to buy Nexus because OEM makers have zero interest into updating old devices
Well they said that we should still waiting for updates, but they are almost certainly say that update will come but don't now when, because the tests that need to be done.
I'm really disappointed with that fact, but I'll wait. Hope so that come soon.
This means nothing, standard ctrl+c ctrl+v response.
Reminds me of my first smartphone, my HTC Rezound. Holiday season 2011, it was competing with the Galaxy Nexus running the new ICS. Everybody and their mother said the Rez would be updated from GB quickly to compete with the Nexus. Verizon didn't push ICS until June. Almost killed the community because of how long the wait was.
Sounds like US carriers are giving this G Flex 2 the same red-headed stepchild treatment, delaying the ROM with bloatware and whatever marketing scheme they can think of to make it appealing in their device lineups (like Verizon positioning the Rezound as an "international SIM" device amongst their typical CDMA offers.)
So yeah, "blame the carrier" has been the same response on many smartphones for years and likely many more years to come.
wouldve been more interesting to ask about a boot loader unlock

exactly
"will *insert random phone name* receive update?
yes, just sit & wait, devs working, etc."
@le grande magnetto:
I have to ask, is that a picture of your Flex 2 in your sig? If so, it appears you're using a matte screen protector - if that's true can you tell me which brand you're using? Thanks...

Thats just an hdr filter, sorry to disappoint
I`m thinking right now that because there is no mm update, there never will be. Same as so many good device before LG just drop those too early. I have LG G Pad 8.3 also and it is still 4.4.2. Fortunately theres cyanogenmod and unofficial 13.0 working nicely on that tablet. Give us at least bootloader unlock, PLEASE!!

why you still in 4.4.2 in GPad 8.3?? Meh...the 5.1 came so long ago...i remember had my GPad 8.3 and 3 months later when i brought it they get 5.1...see around the web for some KDZ with 5.1 and flash it on your G Pad 8.3...because you will find the 5.1 to it!
For GF2...we will have to wait until next month...the update will come!
LG is taking too much time to update our phone. I don't reallt know why, it's a great phone that only can get better with every update

Just got the OTA notification for my Amazon Prime X4 last night, seems its starting to roll out to other Prime owners, but there is a good a post on r/motoX4 regarding all the lack of features not included in the Prime Pie update. I was ready to go but with the first GCam apk I installed that is w0rking perfectly (at least for me) I am kinda hesitant to install the update. i just got my Moto x4 Prime when it went on sale this holiday season $179, and its been smooth and a joy with Oreo 8.1.0. Now I have been waiting to use this phone as my daily driver, but I am experimenting with some new and upcoming MVNOs (Unreal Mobile and Mint Mobile). If u wanna check out this guys pretty straight forward review and complaint list of Pie update for Prime models here
https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoX4/comments/ag4sq2/several_marquee_features_are_missing_from_the_pie/
Pie update fixed gcam night sight view for me, now I can see on screen what I'm taking pictures of.
I just got an OTA notice to say Emui 9.0/Android 9 Pie is now available for the Mediapad 5 10.8. Updating as we speak.
I'm in the UK so everyone should be getting it round about now.
Still nothing on mine are you on the C440 model
Well mine is the LTE version... Still on Nov security patches... UK model

I checked it out on another site and it said it was released on April 4th. Which more or less would've tied in with me getting the notification. But no bother. I've got it and I ain't complaining.

I posted here that I'd got it on the 2nd and I suspect it was released on the 1st.
How are you finding it?

Don't notice much difference tbh. I did notice in the settings menu the option to change the default installation location it may have been in there all along but I hadn't seen it before. I'd been having problems trying to open documents from remote locations with es file explorer when the sd card was the default location but since I changed it to internal memory everything works as it should.
Anyone got it on c440? Which is the Lte model, still on nov patches and no updates whatsoever
Got mine. March 2019 security patch included
Still no sign as yet for my ex EE WiFi and LTE CMR-AL09, unrooted, plain vanilla. I've been spoiled by my Essential PH-1 phone that gets just about the fastest Android updates out there.
I`m on 10.8 model, got it about 4 days ago.
I got m5 lte 10.8 and I still on emui 8.0 with Feb patch. It's normal?
Just brought 8.4 M5 WiFi and happily updated through 8.0 to 9.0.1 pie with march security straight away.
Just had April security patch update on my UK MediaPad M5
https://cdn1.imggmi.com/uploads/2019/5/1/51f18bf8334d83035f1269934323c0e9-full.jpg
Got my 8.4 mediapad today (wifi only) and it just upadated via OTA to Android 9 (EMUI 9.0.1). Security patch March first.
Compilation number 9.0.1.160
No sign update for LTE users
Just wonder any one had update or heard official news on LTE variant getting EMUI 9.0 my pad is on EE and check daily and still no updates , I know network level devices have to be signed off network related software wise ..... But it's been long enough
Just got 9.0.1.182 with April security patch on my 8.4.

Hi everyone,
So you may have seen that Nokia dude release a tweet today saying Android 10 is rolling out for the Nokia 6.2.
Apparently in batches and only in certain countries.
I'm in Australia and it's not released here.
Check your phones.
Hi,
I did the upgrade to Android 10 yesterday, in France.

Download the rom from here https://sourceforge.net/projects/sld-sprout/files/STOCK-ROMS/SLD-00WW_2_290-10.0-HB.zip/download
and flash it using qNokiaTool or Nokia-Tool depending on your operating system
Note that you can also use a VPN to download the Android 10 update. You will have to stay connected to the VPN during the entire process though, so downloading the update could take awhile depending on your internet and VPN speed.
Hi, I have a Huawei p20 Black Italy dual sim EML-L29 and last year I disabled updates not to loose my call recorder.
Now I want to have the VoLTE option but it looks like has been implemented only starting since Android 11.
So, I connected my phone to HiSuite to update it as much as possible. HiSuite has so much problems (since ever) on updates detection so, by a huge work, I finally updated my phone till 10.0.0.192 patch 1st july 2021 and it doesn't detect any other updates.
I had a conversation with the official Huawei support but (and that's really really really incredible) they don't have the informations I'm looking for.
I'd like to know:
1. what's the last FW release for my EML-L29 Italy? Should I keep on try to find new updates?
2. is there any EMUI 11 update planned for my device?
3. has anyway been even implemented VoLTE on Huawei EML-L29, maybe in next months?
