LG promised OS firmware update by Q3 2013. Will we actually get it?

Update was finally pushed more than a week ago. Unfortunately, they seem to have removed support for Picture-in-Picture and color buttons on the remote.

I'm still waiting! Bad news to me is they aren't including Flash with the upgrade which is really why I wanted this tv. Very annoying!

Not usually, it is generally not practical to track which phone has what exact OS version in it. Usually they have been updated to 4.4 or a variation thereof, very rarely do we see phones come through with 4.3 because OTA updates are automatically downloaded and persistent in requesting that the user upgrade to the newest software.

Brian, If you haven't noticed yet, LG has fixed the problem with new software version 8.00.11. Thanks.

I'd bet if it did, it would say so. so I'd guess no.No telling what the future might hold with a firmware update though

What is ur build version etc? If you can give it then I will let you know how to proceed with the update accordingly. If you can check my review on Nexus One then you can see if urs is the same as I mentioned. If so, u can proceed. Otherwise, do let me know and I will guide properly :)

The android version is 2.3.? It is not recent and there are no OTA updates for this model.

There is no upgrades available. Per my call to Hisense this morning, they are not ever going to update it. The only other option is to Root the device and load a custom firmware. The only issues with the customer firmwares is that most of the ones I've read about generally have something that does not work such as the Camera. The Custom developers are generally always working on getting everything working though.

Lester, I am sorry but I don't know. I updated the firmware couple of months ago and didn't make a notation of either the original firmware version or the latest version downloaded. I have found there is frequently a more recent of firmware than the one loaded at new. Makers sometimes suggest doing a firmware update when making the original setup which I think is a great idea since there maybe something to do with security in the latest version.

Hi Marilyn, Upon referring that same question to Google, I received more or less the same answer that Roger got.He is correct, saying that it is best to wait for Samsung to provide the update. John

No you can't. The apps are hardwired in the firmware. It is possible that LG might update the firmware at some point to include some other apps, but we don't know if or when that will happen.

David, WOW! I am having the exact same problem with this unit. I want to update the firmware because of HDCP issues and it simply isn't possible as of yet. I've followed the SIMPLE instructions at least 10 times on 4 different flash drives to no avail. I called LG but they are clueless. This isn't an issue with the hundreds of HDMI cables that I own as they suggested, its the television itself. Please let me know if you figure anything out, I will do the same for you. I'm planning on calling again tomorrow, but I doubt very much anything useful will come out of it.

No that's not true. They do update the TV firmware every few months to make minor changes to the menus and so on.

I'm not sure if Amazon has any interest in work with LG to solve this, after all Amazon is a sales channel, and gets a cut every time we are forced to change a device because they wont update it.Keep in mind that this discussion is bigger than this model and Amazon's VOD; it's about how planned obsolescence is being taken to extremes. Where you need to replace your [device] every year.Don't back down. Seek alternative options. Be creative.Don't fall for their game.

2.3.5 Official, but you can get latest 4.3 if you root it(and loose your guarantee), it works fine for me.

It looks like LG did correct the problem with the firmware upgrade. I did the firmware upgrade thru my wireless network just couple days ago and it came thru successfully. I was thinking if it failed, I'd do what Matt suggested. You might want to give it a try again with the upgrade. I'm going to rent a blue-ray movie, hopefully it won't freeze.

Don't know specifically. Generally the X Link firmware updates cover new phone models.
