After reading some forum posts from around here and other sites I'm starting to get really discouraged. I got this phone on December 4th, so I can return it on/before January 3rd. My other options are of course SGSII, SGSII SR, Vivid, and whatever phone pops up before now and then. Do you think I should return the Nitro for one of those options or wait and hope it gets ICS? ICS is a dealbreaker for me.
ICS.. Good news, i hope!
As per GSMArena and Bell Mobility's website, ICS will be available to its' customers confirmed, no answer though as to when. hope this clears it up a bit.
The thing with the updates is you never know. From all of the phones you listed, the likely fastest one to get the ICS update would probably be the Vivid based on HTC's speed at updating followed by the SGSII then skyrocket. Last on that list? Probably the Nitro HD. Given the things I've seen elsewhere with LG updating I wouldn't expect much, then again, you never really know with these things.
If this thing was just unlocked and able to boot into CWM recovery, it wouldn't be too hard to bribe some devs with devices to get some good ICS-based ROMs, I'm thinking. The Nexus S ICS ROMs have been pretty awesome, thus far, and that is with them still based on the 2.6.35 kernel.

Honestly, Samsung's gotten MUCH faster at updating.
Look at the SGS II, it already has a ICS leak, that says something.
Of all phones, I would expect the AT&TSGSII and SR to get it first, then Vivid, then Nitro, unfortunately. :/
The Thrill was supposed to have GB within a month of release. That was back in September. Then they promised October, then November...
I trust LG about as much as I trusta politician, and it's a shame because I'd LOVE to buy a Nitro but I won't because it's LG.
I won't really worry or sweat over the ICS....as long as this phone is unlocked, anything is possible, and we will have even better ROMs than vanilla ICS. Heck, we might even get CM9 support if the Devs feel it's worthy enough, and I'm sure they are eyeing the Nitro right now, just waiting for the right time. All we need is a single Dev joining us to spark the fire of interest with other Devs.
Does anybody know someone who knows the person behind CWM/Rom Manager? I forgot his name, he helped a lot over at the Atrix Forum when he released a compatible CWM for that phone. I don't mean to make it sound like harassing the guy, but maybe some of us can directly PM him and ask him nicely to help us with this phone. Just my input to speed up the possibility of making this phone even greater.
Koush, and he is working on CM9 for the NS.

Keep in mind the update has to come from at&t.

If your waiting for LG to update ti to ICS and then for AT&T to put its bloat on it then I'd say you'll get ICS by aug, if you wait for the Devs you'll have ICS by the end of Jan
Devs? There are no devs, yet, sin e this thing is still locked.

So even though LG announced ICS for the Optimus LTE back in December, there was no mention of ICS for the Nitro specifically and there was some speculation that this meant AT&T had no plans of updating it.
Today AT&T announced ICS is available for the HTC Vivid, which has nothing to do with this forum, but the same press release listed several other devices that will get ICS "in the coming months" and the Nitro is among them.

With AT&T, if you're going to assume anything, assume the worst. So if there's no official announcement, assume there will be no update.
Now, there's an official announcement and a general time frame for the ICS update.
Well I found this article, looks like we will be gettin ics, maybe cm9 before the official release

There's what I assume is a leaked engineering version of ICS for the LU-6200. The post about it in the LU-6200 development forum has screenshots of it.

crush, i noticed your's does not have the carrier logo in the left side of the notification bar, mine has the stupid ATT there, did you remove your's?
perhaps it's installed after the leaked ROm is installed. it's soooo much nicer without it.

Unlocking LG Nitro P930 with ICS
I purchased a LG Nitro P930 (AT&T) that had been rooted and also has ICS
on it. I've tried to unlock the phone and have been unable to do so. I have
an unlocking code and I went to cellunlocker.net for help when I couldn't get
it to unlock. I followed all of the different ways to unlock it and it still won't work.
I've even tried 2 different sim cards in it and have the same results.
Has anyone been able to unlock this phone with ICS or have any suggestions
short of throwing it out (too expensive).
Any and all help will be appreciated.
Ivan
Yeah, assuming you have root (if you don't, root it) flash the official Gingerbread nandroid backups found in this thread using the dd commands. I don't understand how your device has ICS, though, unless somebody had access to what designgears just leaked to us or unless you're mistaking ICS for CyanogenMod or AOKP.
You might want to go ahead and make backups of your partitions before you flash the Gingerbread images, though.
You're Right
Thanks Malnilion.
Here's what the seller put in his description:
Auction is for a perfect condition LG Nitro HD Smartphone on AT&T Network with Android's latest OS installed, Ice Cream Sandwich via CyanogenMod 9 build. ICS is not available yet for this phone because LG/ATT have been dragging their feet on getting it ready. This phone is by far the nicest phone I have used in quite awhile. I've had the Galaxy Note, Galaxy Captivate, Nexus, Lumia 900, HTC Titan, and a bunch more. I test phones a lot. Screen is real HD at 720p and the best one of those I have seen. Colors are near perfect and detail is bright and crisp. Phone has been rooted and has ClockworkMod Installed so you can load up any ROM you want with a simple reboot. It was quite a task getting ICS on this phone but I was able to do it and it runs like butter. Really smooth and has full capabilities.
Hopefully this answers your question. The phone looks great with it and I'd like to keep ICS if I could but I need to get the phone unlocked and nothing I have tried so far works. Is my only answer to go back to the original OS or ?
Thanks

hopefully the seller put a nandroid backup of the stock ROM on the sd card somewhere.......then with CWM you can easily backup your current ROM, restore the stocker & unlock the device and then restore the cm9.
Hi Everyone,
I was just on the phone with Acer Support to replace a broken charger (The tip of my current charger just sort of fell off once night, and I had to pull it out of the charging port using a small pin) and asked about ICS update.
The fellow mentioned that ICS should be out in Canada for May 3rd of this year. Sounds pretty reasonable? I think I'll stick to the official firmware for the meantime...

Just off the phone with ACER
Just got off the phone with ACER. Asked about the update for the A100. I asked when is it scheduled to come out, and have you an exact date on the OTA Update? I was told No. The customer service person was very Rude i might add. Also, i then followed up with, well your press release states it would roll out in mid April sometime, is that still the case? The response i received was Yes, well Maybe... Maybe I said, he said it may be in May sometime or it may be in April. He would not give any more information on this. Anyway, figured I would let the owners of the A100 know that we still are likely not to get this in April, given ACER`s track record for pushing back their release dates on previous tablets and updates.
Why do people think the zombie tech support people know when things are coming out or much anything else besides what is given to them in scripts to read off to customers -_-
ICS will come out when it comes out the leaks despite gaming bugs are great. Atleast we have leaked firmware the one phone I have (Sidekick 4g) ended up being a samsung shunned child that never saw the light of day getting official gingerbread let alone ics :c

Acer has posted some FAQs about when to expect the ICS update for their tablet models, which was why I was asking. Of course I was dealing with a different issue and the CS had the option to say "sorry sir, we don't have that information". I always expected to get the official update around my birthday; which is May 4th

LG Open Source said that the source for 4.2.2 will come out in March when we get our update. I believe the March part but not the 4.2.

I work near the campus and talked to someone close to the project 2 weeks ago. They said the update was in final testing and should see release in march. I'd say its almost definitley 4.1 for now. It does seem like it got delayed from release this month though so i GUESS there is the small possibility they did that to make it 4.2 but thats doubtful. Either way Sprints had it for a while and the 4.1 update is basically done.

I used to have a Sprint LG Optimus S (LS670). Their updates were labeled in same way as the LGOG i.e. LS670ZV? . Once they got past LS670ZV9 it went to lettering i.e. LS670ZVC, LS670ZVD. When it upgraded to Gingerbread it was LS670ZVH, which was borked and had to rerelease as LS670ZVJ.

as he says we're working I don't think that he's a random guy. and you know, LG admins don not have the right to announce anything until they arre told to do. So they act more conservative. look at the screenshot attached. Some information are company confidential. But the employees are more free to do it. I mean even if he's not true about next month he must be true about the coming of the update.

I want to believe that our LGOG will get KitKat next month, but considering that not even G2 has it, I don't think that it's possible.. Maybe 1, 2 months after G2 - if LG decides to respect their customers..

The G2 already has 4.4 In Korea tho.
World wide, I meant.
Let's study the situation a bit deeper.
reasons we get the update:
1. if we consider the 18 months period of recieving updates, we still have 4 months left. G was released in October, 2012
2. I think except for the initial batch, most of the devices had Jelly bean 4.1.2 while being sold and they still have the same version. So there should be at least an update to a higher version.
3. Physically the device has all the potentials to be upgraded to kitkat and as a previous flagship deserves to get it.
4. the leaked news says that they were testing kitkat on both g pro and g. Now that they are releasing the update for g pro by the end of Q2. There should be an update for g as well since we know that the device doesn't lack anything to run kitkat smoothly.
resons no to get it
1. Why should a company care for a phone from 2012 while there are so many other new phones 2013 onward?
Well I think we have more reasons to get it than not to get it.
to get or not to get. this is the question
and look
Samsung officially announced the models which will get kitkat. Among them you can see Note 2 which was released in September, 2012 and Galaxy S3 which was released in July, 2012!!
So let's keep our fingers crossed :angel:
humm... i think we`re going to be in 4.1 forever :s

And where is the announcement in that?
Standard canned response telling nothing at all. They'll forward the request! Dosen't mean LGOG is getting anything as of now.
Heeeeeeey
I didn't forget anything. I have written the question everywhere and I've got the same response as the one you attached. I myself attached one last page.
They are not allowed to announce anything. Actually they don't know anything. They are simply page admins. Whenever they say something it's not true or exact. No one knows exactly when everything will be ready but I believe it will be ready one day not so far from today.
