Official LG G2

[memphis32]

It could be Cell C holding back the update for some reason. If you connect your phone to PC via LG PC Suite, and click to check for updates, it does show there is a "D" version available, but the update stalls... Nothing through OTA though...

I'm on D802f-SEA-XX anyway. Had to reset my phone after a botched DPI change.

I upgraded mine via the LG PC update software to the D version. It failed the fist time, but after restarting the phone, I used the 'Recover Update' menu item to successfully complete the update.

I can't even get the LG PC software to run on Windows 8.1....

How big was the download...? This program telling me it's 2Gb :wtf:

Correct. And it downloaded twice! Once, and then it failed and then again when I selected the recover option. Why would an update program have a 'Recover Update' option? Makes you wonder about the QA...

That sounds correct. It is about 2GB. Will take a while to download...

Can it only download while the phone is connected to the PC...? on my slow connection at work, it'll take 2 days.... This program now saying 14hours till finished....

It might not be worth the upgrade from 4.2.2 b to 4.2.2 d. If rumours are to be believed, 4.4 update will come out soon. Maybe hold out for that so you wont need to go through the download pain again?

B to d gives you the voice assistant. Nice, but you can wait.

Did you find release notes anywhere?

 

[Raithlin]

No, but having 2 G2s side by side helps.

 

[Orihalcon]

Good to know.

Will wait for KK end of March.

Still have not found a good enough reason to root this phone though...with my SII I rooted in the first few hours.

If only there was a NeatRom for G2 like S2

I'll give you a reason. G2 Xposed. Customise your G2 like never before. Includes features such as transparent / immersive status and notification bar, customise your navigation bar, remove a lot of pointless notifications etc. I rooted for this alone, and added some Xposed addons afterward.

What problem are you having?

 

[betty85]

Splash screen hangs then if you alt tab you can see an error dialog behind the splash screen mentioning" cannot initialize filters: -1". Tried running it in various compatibility modes and as admin, no luck
