Hi,
G2 Was Updated 5.0 with G3 Ui
İ Think LG Will Update To 5.1 With G4's LG UX 4.0
You Guys Think G3 Will Upgrade The UX4.0 ?
Depends on what LG wants to do. Any features they give to the g3 from the g4 is another reason for people to not need to upgrade, but who knows.
I see LG started to update their apps to to match UX 4.0 style, so i think maybe there is a little chance we can get that gorgeous 4.0 style in the 5.1 update.
I think we are entitled to at least 2 years of updates.

It basically says that the G3 will get the update in the 4th quarter of 2014 and that the G2 will get it "later'.
To me this means the G3 will get lollipop in Nov/Dec time frame and the G2 probably more like Jan/Feb time frame.

Awesome!!! So this does confirm that the G2 is expected to get 5.0 Lollipop then, I hope Sprint brings it to the G2.

Yes we are getting 5,0 just like the op title says. Our phone is only about 11 months old, google updates it's devices for at least 22 months. Expect many more updates possibly even android 6.0

We will definitely get it but a 2-3 months after international versions get it.

Hope LG sticks to their time table, they have gotten much better since the days of the G2X/O2X.
Well damn, this is quick, LG became the first phone manufacturer to announce the beginning of a 5.0 Lollipop rollout. The LG G3 just started getting a 5.0 Lollipop rollout in Poland, is this a good sign that the LG G2 could be next in line to get 5.0 Lollipop after the G3 gets fully upgraded to 5.0 Lollipop?

LG FIRST TO ROLL OUT ANDROID 5.0 LOLLIPOP UPGRADE
Flagship G3 to be the First LG Smartphone to Receive
Newest and Smartest Features of Lollipop OS
SEOUL, Nov. 9, 2014 ― LG Electronics (LG) this week will begin rolling out the highly anticipated Android 5.0 Lollipop upgrade for G3 smartphones starting in Poland this week, to be followed by other key markets in the near future. LG, the first global smartphone manufacturer to offer the Lollipop upgrade in 2014, will subsequently announce an upgrade schedule for other LG mobile devices.
This latest Android OS delivers a host of improvements including a new design language with added depth, shadows and animations. Notifications are improved with a new layout and color scheme and will be available on the new lock screen. A new security feature to strengthen the connectivity between devices will include enabling users to unlock their smartphone when it is physically near a pre-registered Bluetooth device such as the LG G Watch or G Watch R. Lollipop also introduces Android Runtime (ART) software to improve performance.
“LG is absolutely committed to giving our customers the best mobile experiences available and bringing Android Lollipop to G3 owners as soon as possible is a top priority,” said Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of the LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company. “The new features and improvements in Android 5.0 will bring a whole new user experience to the G3 and make it even better than it already is.”
Additional details related to LG devices will be announced in the near future as the Lollipop upgrade becomes available in local markets.

1) There's absolutely no way to know for sure when the G2 will get it's taste of Lollipop - I'm guesstimating January at some point, hopefully sooner but there's just no way to know for certain till it happens. Speculation gets us nowhere at this point.
2) The G3 ROM that is now available from various sources won't do much for us G2 owners at the moment because it can't just be ported over directly to the G2 like the G3 KitKat ROM could (as I understand it). The lack of a proper source for the G2 kernel for Lollipop is what'll hold us back and until that appears then we won't be seeing any useful G3-based ported of Lollipop for our G2 devices.
3) Everybody knows about this now, it's been all over the forum for nearly a week now (the impending LG release), there's threads all over the place about it, every Android site - even Engadget - has had their front-page devotion to the LG move to beat everybody else to the punch so I'd say as long as the G3 rollout happens without any major problems or showstoppers (like what happened with the N4/N5 rollout and then rollback because of the battery bug), perhaps we might get a Christmas present from LG for our G2 devices.
Worth hoping for...
Hi guys
I have question how is the update policy of LG? I am a note 4 user but Samsungs update policy made me think to change my phone and it will probably be a G4,before that I want to know how LG treates it's phones for example the G3 their previous flagship
Coming from the G2, I am very impressed. We got several updates and even got Lollipop before the G3 got updated. They are really good on past phones. Everything is sort of in a stalemate rigjt now because of the Android M. No sense in updating anything when Android M is the finalised version of lollipop.
Could be better tbh, they update Korean version very fast which include major fixes 2 months ago, and only 2 weeks ago people started receiving those.
Aside from google, all other take their time, LG won't release any new android besides Android M on G4.
Thank you for your answers
Hi
Does anyone know whether this will happen, or is CM13 our best bet?
Thanks.
It would be really nice of LG to give us 6.0 especially since the tablet is newer and more powerful than the 2013 Nexus 7, which has already gotten Marshmallow. That and LG is bragging about being the first OEM to push 6.0 to their G4, so how hard would a STOCK update be for our tablet?
Hi, i am a big fan of my G2 device and don't want to switch on another one for upgraded technical life.. But i heard some rumors about G2's upgrading that it will not to go on Android "M" and according to some rumors it will not even get final version of Lollipop (5.1.1) ?
If anyone have some authentic references about G2 (all variants) further upgradings, kindly share it here, we G2 users are really dying to know about our device's upgrading future.. Thanks..
We expect these LG devices will be treated to Nougat soon:
LG G4
LG G5
LG Magna
LG Spirit
LG V10

The article does say about it.
I don't think so, but i would like it

While this does sound great, it does sound a bit too great imo. The article doesn't say if it was announced, or even rumoured from the inside - it's just their own speculation. Nevertheless, hope it pans out.
There's no way we're getting Nougat. Also 1GB is a bit too low for Nougat. I hope I'm wrong though. I noticed that they "expect" OP2 and X to get Nougat, but it's widely known by now that they're doomed in terms of official software updates.
I don't think we're getting nougat update at all. They've released many devices after spirit with mm on them ,so they'll prioritize them first and lg never gave more than a single os update to their mid range devices.
LG Stylo 2, that phone got Nougat update, but hw is a bit same with spirit, also there are config files in kernel. They could made it as I was managed to boot Nougat on Spirit! :d
