LG Optimus G possibly going from Android 4.1.2 to 4.4.2 KitKat this Summer

The long-neglected LG Optimus G is purported to be getting a huge update to the latest, greatest Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS sometime this summer. French carrier SFR is said to be getting the KitKat update this Summer which gives us a little hope that the North American versions will get a little love as well.

I actually have an LG Optimus G and thought it to be better than the Nexus 4 mainly because I liked the build and construction plus it can manage LTE connections without any tweaking. My Optimus G has been collecting dust mostly because it seemed to have been forgotten by LG in terms of updates (that and the Rogers LG Pad have made me leery of LG's commitment to support and provide updated software on their devices). KitKat will certainly breathe new life into one of the first LTE-enabled quad-core Android superphones. Make it happen LG!

Samsung Galaxy S3 to reportedly receive Android KitKat update

The Galaxy S3 wasn’t included in the official list released by Samsung to receive the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update. But according to a leaked document shown by Android Headlines, the older Galaxy device will receive the update sometime around April or May. The Galaxy S3 was not included in the list because it had low memory, which was said to be unsuitable for the 4.4.2 update. But seems Samsung had a change of heart.

Android 4.4.2 update for Motorola Moto G causes issues for some users

Some Motorola Moto G owners who got the Android 4.4.2 update seem to be having trouble with their devices post-update. There are users who complain about intermittent signal loss and even SIM card connection after updating the device. It doesn’t seem to be a permanent issue though. Users just need to turn the phone off and on again to regain signal. But that seems like a tedious thing to do. Motorola is working on a fix for the problem now.
