Will the LG Lucid get Jelly Bean anytime soon?

I want to know, is the LG lucid going to get the newest version of Android anytime soon. LG tells me to go to Verizon to answer this question.

It has NOTHING to do with shareholders.
Verizon does not develop and manufacturer the device.  LG does...  It's their job to update their phones, and submit an update for testing.  If LG doesn't you will not get an update.  Same goes for ANY manufacturer out there.
Verizon doesn't care if you get updated or not.  They make money off the services the provide.  They don't care if you are on 2.3.6, 4.0, 4.1.1 and such.  LG makes money from the sale of the device, and the Lucid probably didn't sell well enough for LG to make an attempt to update the device.
Actually it's selling quite well. And while my little area means nothing in the grand scheme it's actually one of the most popular phones being bought at the local Verizon store. And it's certainly the most popular budget phone.
I have this phone and I'm fine with it. I'm not sure what the difference is between Gingerbread 2.3.6 and ICS but I'm fine with the current OS. Probably my main beefs are the app layout choices and I hate the talk bubble in messaging. And yes I realize I can get a 3rd party app for messaging but I shouldn't need to. My old phone was an LG Ally and I liked the simpler messaging layout.

  • Xperia arc S will not get Jelly Beans

    Closed toppic, multiple posts.
    As officially stated on Facebook, Xperia arc S and mini pro will not get Jelly beans update.

    As a conclusion of this, Jelly Beans will not be rolled out to any 2011 phone, as the arc S is the last and top model of the 2011 line.
    One of the best things in this facebook post is the proposal to buy a new phone...
    This proved again to be a lie of Sony, stating that they will support and update phones for at least 18 months.

    Mozilla will not be releasing a 64 bit Windows version of Firefox 4. They are creating 64 bit builds for testing purposes, but there will not be an official 64 bit Windows version until some time after Firefox 4 is released.

    While iOS 7 will be compatible, not all features will be available. Read the footnotes on this page:

    It did not say indeed. Do you always loudly announce your bowel-movements  to the world? I gather no.

    You can order the iPad 3 you need in the http://store.apple.com/us refurb section.
    Nope, it's the Refurbished iPad you can order there. There's no such thing as iPad 3 currently, unless you already own one.  The Refurbished iPad is NOT the same article, as it has an entirely different price.  Cuz it's refurbished. Even if it's not.
    It beats me how all those brand new factory-sealed objects became refurbished in an instant. Would've thought it would involve some sort of physical refurbishment process applied.  Must been done by the Higgs Boson. Or the fairies. Or Jesus.  Either case, it's a huge leap in technology - the miraculous mass-refurbishment!

  • Will the verizon iphone get ios 5

    since the verizon iphone is still behind on the ios which it has 4.2.8 instead of 4.3 will the verizon iphone get ios 5 while skipping 4.3 or will we get 4.3 while att gets ios 5

    Don't hold your breath.  Let's face it... the Verizon iPhone is 2nd rate to the AT&T one.  Probably always will be one build behind... Heck,  based on what's happened so far and the cold shoulder that Apple gave it at the WWDC, I'm staring to think that Verizon won't even carry it any longer.  ("We have plenty of other options"... says Verizon.)
    Ok, seriously though, if Verizon doesn't get iOS 5 with the rest of the country in the fall, a good chunk of the some 2.5 million Verizon iPhone users will either move back to AT&T or just give up on Verizon and join up with AT&T.  (myself being one of them.)  This is getting a bit ridiculous.  AND... iOS 4.3 contains MANY features and enhancements that we Verizon users STILL don't have.  Look it up if you have any doubts.  I'm sick of people saying that iOS 4.2.8 and iOS 4.3.3 are basically the same.  DUH... if they were the same they'd have the same build number.  Again people should look it up, before spreading propaganda.
    And finally... based on everything that I've read, it does appear that Verizon will get iOS 5 at the same time as AT&T.  (There apparently is a beta out there for the CDMA iPhone of which developers can get.)  BUT, I'll believe it when I see it.

  • Now even the Canadians get Jelly Bean before VZW customers

    I thought everyone else EXCEPT FOR VERIZON had already updated to JB
    http://www.androidcentral.com/jelly-bean-rolling-out-canadian-galaxy-nexus-phones
    Well done Verizon. Well done.

    I recently emailed vzw about my dissatisfation with the lack of info pertaining to updates, and that any info is good just to tell people they are working on it. I was shocked when I received an informative replay and said it was unofficial of course to cover themselves.
    The email stated they are having problems with the JB Gnex update and it pertains to the radios. They have to create new radios for the update for it to be released and that it will be a few weeks before the update will be released.
    I posted the email over at androidcentral forums with screenshots of the email in the Galaxy nexus forum as proof. The email was censored poorly though from the sender and when it went into details about the radios and problems someone deleted a paragraph and left a half written sentence. so I guess outgoing emails from verizon are censored too like these forums here.

  • When are we getting Jelly Bean for GS3?

    Now that Jelly Bean is officially released for GS3, when will VZW release it to its customers? I hope they don't take as long as it took for GB to be released on Fascinate. I would hate to get it from XDA before VZW

    Well the international GS3 in UK, ASIA are getting the Jelly Bean update tomorrow as we speak. As far as the US goes, hopefully soon enough...
