Sprint's LG G2: Official KitKat info - Candy coated goodness.

That KitKat will be out the end of March for the LG G2. The rollout with the Samsung models had a lot of problems, so our rollout is being delayed.

And I have heard that, so this actually might be the truth.

What I was told today on a chat from Sprint. Take it with ten pounds of rock salt though.

You got more out of them than I did! The person I spoke to about the update kept telling me that it was a manufacturer thing and they have no clue on their (Sprint's) end about any updates.

LG OpenSource Code link

I forgot to include this link in my last post. It goes to the OpenSource Code Distribution page for the LS980 on LG's website. Word has it that LG will post the ZVB source here just before the OTA update.

To be honest, I was surprised that I got that much info. Now weather or not it's true...

The secret to waiting for this is to not think about it. Go about your lives and then one day you will look at your phone and see there is an update waiting for you.

 

[Jimmy Gillentine]

True. Now that I've heard this from Sprint, time to just wait for it and worry about it when it can be downloaded.

The well respected rumor has always been by the end on the 1st Quarter which is the end of this month so again, I council patience my young Jedis.

Has anything been heard regarding if this update will do anything to allow the Sprint G2 to successfully connect to an Airave? Mine simply does not connect unless you do some goofy work-a-round by temporarily changing some settings. I read somewhere that an update would be coming out to fix this. Think this will be built into it?

Mine is working fine against the Airave with the Spark patch. Occasionally I still see it hunt for towers but it locks right back on pretty quickly.

I find that waiting for updates is like watching water boil. It never happens fast enough.

Back to the gibberish, but this shows them testing Software Version ZVC now.

We are, of course, on Version ZVA now.

A step in the right direction.

Nope, Nexus 5 doesn't have Spark update. Maybe that's is why we don't have KitKat yet.

Here a Sprint Rep named George M. says the upgrade is being pushed out.

https://community.sprint.com/baw/mo...ssion?content=/api/core/v2/discussions/151820

But it's not clear if it's been released yet? I took a screenshot because down further in the thread it sounds like it's not available.

Once it is listed on these sites, ZVC will be official and rollout will soon commence:

Find and update the software version on your LG G2

I agree it will most likely be in "the next few weeks" as March has been when LG has said it should be released.

So we are skipping ZVB and going to ZVC instead?

Seems to be the case, though that could change again.

This is a very big guess, but as the software update will skip over 4.3 and go to directly to 4.4, that is possibly the reason.
Again, just my guess, but it sounds totally plausible, right?

ZVB was also a 4.4 build. I'm guessing that they found and fixed something from when they were testing ZVB. Hopefully it won't take weeks of more testing before they're ready to release.

I can wait as long as it works when we finally do get it

I wonder if the delay has been because the phone has been Spark enabled.

This is my guess. Especially since no phone on Sprint that has Spark is on 4.4.
