Lollipop for U.S. G3 "Coming Soon"

[psychotron]

Well, well. Look what just popped up on LG USA Mobile's G+ page.



Be on the lookout for Android 5.0 Lollipop. Unwrapping soon.

It still depends on the carrier. Between LG's release to US carriers and AT&T's OTA release could be 6 months.

Don't download it, issues with battery life. My brother in law jumped in quickly download it, bam! Battery drained in 4 hours. No fix until update to lollipop. I have disabled updates. Many other problems also.

Of course it does, but news that it's actually in motion is better than no news at all IMO. And of course, despite our cynicism, who's to say they're not passing this along because the carriers are close to green light? Heck, HTC have promised they'll have it out for the M8 by the end of February, so it may not be so far fetched to think it might be as soon as a few weeks. Time will tell.

For sure. Mine is turned off as well. I'm going to wait a couple of weeks after it comes out and see how it's going with others before I grab it myself. I'm excited, but I'm also patient. Been burned enough times by now to know better than to just jump straight in with both feet.

Is there a way to turn off autoupdates?

Take all the time you want, Verizon. I'm perfectly happy with my G3 as is.

I'm excited to have lockscreen notifications finally! I know there are 3rd party apps for it but I've tried them all and just want something clean and simple like iOS notifications.

I'd like to know this as well. (referring to phone software updates not app updates since I know how to do that)

Basically avoiding this Lollipop update till it's ironed somehow especially the battery drain.

Yes, lockscreen notification with a horrible battery life and lags. I've Lollipop on my G3 IT since November.. if i could return to KitKat i would do it.

Exactly. I had that recent 200+MB T-Mobile update happen automatically. Although that update was fine I want to avoid the Lollipop one until I hear it works okay. Because as of now, except for a few occasionally hiccups, my G3 runs well.

Dito.

I don't care what kind of phone you have, that's not how I judge someone's worth or intelligence.
