If Marshmallow really runs more smoothly than Lollipop, then it really stinks that Google isn't providing it for the Nexus 4. This phone works pretty well on Lollipop 5.1.1, and it has as much memory as a Nexus 5X. So it's not hopelessly out of date for this OS. There's no excuse for their dropping it. Seriously, how different is MM than LP at the kernel and driver level? OEM's might want to operate on the planned obsolescence model, but the Nexus program was supposed to be different. And since there are already custom ROMs coming online, there seems to be no technical reason.

Any changes to the stock camera app? Was wondering if LG would give it the video features it did for the V10 seeing that the cameras are the same.

Just so you know, I'm in Europe with an European version and I still haven't received it either neither OTA nor through LG Bridge. So they are probably releasing it REALLY slowly.

No updates to the camera?

I can't wait for Marshmallow on my ATT LG G4. I have Marshmallow on my old Nexus 5 and apps launch faster on it than they do on my G4. Chrome is quite a lot faster in every way on the Nexus 5 than on my G4. If Marshmallow improved the performance of this old Nexus 5 the way that it has I expect and look forward to a more dramatic improvement on my G4.

Battery is not good. A factory reset has improved idle time greatly but there's still a huge drain as soon as you start using the phone and the Play Services drain is as big as the early days of Lollipop (16% currently for me).

I got my LG G4 through the UK Insiders Campaign back in May.
Build Number: LMY47D
Software Version: VX10a-EUR-XX
Kernel Version: 3.10.49
Model: LG-H815

Im trying to update to Marshmallow via the LG Bridge,which has recognised my phone and recognised there is a Marshmallow update available.

However, its been stuck at "Preparing phone for update... 100%" and not moving!

Any way to get this update flashed on to my device, baring in mind I haven't rooted!

Cant believe I backed up & wiped my phone before I did this! argh.

Checked over the weekend but to no avail, on Tuesday checked and it was ready to be downloaded. Unlocked UK model. Downloaded and installed in less than 10 minutes using LG bridge. Changes are subtle but the software seems faster

Try LG PC Suite/PC Sync, you may have to select model as D802 G2 to download the software from LG's website. The program is for older phones but could work

Same as before.

If you're expecting some of the features from the V10, you might wanna wait.

According to LG, it's coming. Get excited.

That's on Google's end.

My EUR H815 is up to date according to the bridge. Aww man

 

[DJCBS]

Well, still nothing on my EUR H815.

Anyway, question to those who already have it: how are the permissions working for you?
Quite honestly it's the only thing that's making me anxious to update to Marshmallow as there're a couple of apps which I like but ask for too many unnecessary permissions.
