NEWS: Gpad 8.3 Lollipop updates rolling out soon!

[roirraW "edor" ehT]

Sorry, the menu button should have been gone long time ago.
Unfortunately everyone kept it for no reason. All apps designed correctly have the three dots/bars as standard. Why keep an outdated button?

For the apps that aren't designed modern. It's all about choice, anyway. Nothing wrong with having it available, whether it's enabled by default or not.

CM12.1’s configurable implementation works for me:

most likely the updates have been postponed for the next month or the summer

 

[Impromark]

Do you have a source on this? Granted we have two days left in April, so having it in May would almost be a given at this point. I haven't heard of anything BAD with the 8.3 rollout in the other countries, has anyone?

[iconicpaul]

no, i have no source
i am just speculating but on some other related information like one received by a user who has a G2 Mini and received a reply from LG stating that the update for that particular phone will come in July although previous LG plans were for April also
based on the current silence from the other tablet models, the 7, 8 and 10, no update so far there....i am speculating that most likely the previous LG plans were modified

G2 mini is not flagship device

G2 mini is not flagship device

what has that got to do with anything ? neither is G Pad 7 and although the update was due in April, so far nothing
it doesnt have anything to do with a status or performance but with a planned schedule

 

[Impromark]

I would agree that tablet updates are lower on the LG totem pole than their phones - especially with their G4 announced this week, most of their resources would be applied there over a bunch of relatively low-rent products like our beloved G-Pads.

At least we know they ARE getting this update. Patience is key after all. Anyone remember the length of time between the announcement that our G-Pads would be getting KitKat, and when it finally did?

First wave update go to new devices
Second to last year flagship
This is pattern for all OEM

This is not Windows

Because there are lots of current apps that do not have the three dots.

This is not Windows, where I have to update all my apps because some bright-eyed developer changed the UI. Especially since the new UIs are not better in the opinion of many. Including the STUPID "floating buttons".

 

[Brunoams]

That's fine that not everyone agrees. I also like the cm's why of handeling this, you may or may not have the menu button and most of the apps adapt its interface to the buttons' existence. If LG gives the option of changing the buttons layout and so on, they could simply give both options of having menu and recents button.

What is strange right now is being May and we're still waiting for the official update...

 

[iconicpaul]

interesting that its now more than 30 days since the Korean rom has been released and since then, total silence on other regions

 

[gtfour88]

I'm in Hong Kong and had lollipop 3-4 days ago. Still testing it out though

 

[Impromark]

Hey GTfour88, anything to report on the LP update for HK?

 

[chingchiu169]

Hey GTfour88, anything to report on the LP update for HK?

its seen to be stable, the battery would be ok..i and watch a movie by streaming on the Internet.

around 5-6hours can be used.

 

[tmohammad]

Any News for the UK Models?

As to when we are likely to see an update???

 

[muiriddin]

As to when we are likely to see an update???

In the US we are still waiting as well...

 

[tmohammad]

Dont understand why the delay in the UK and US.... Its been out ages in the Far East!

 

[altitude909]

What's the big aversion to the one that's out? I'm running the Korean one and it works perfectly

 

[FandangoL]

I read elsewhere that some message isn't translated and appears in korean. Is it true?

 

[KiljoyMcCoy]

Have been using the Korean release and haven't seen anything in Korean except apps that are for Korea region only. OS wise everything is English.
