I’d like to thank you for this site. I have tried updating my AT&T G6 over and over for a month now and it keeps telling me there is no update though AT&T said it should update. I constantly try using the LG Bridge and every time I get.. CAN NOT CHECK SOFTWARE VERSION. LG says that Google pushes the update AT&T says LG pushes the update to contact them. I am slowly giving up on the Android update process which really sucks because I hate Apple but these days its seems that the Android updating is so fragmented I’m beginning to think an Iphone does have it’s act together for updates. I know its the same company that makes the hardware yadda yadda.. Can you give me any advice on getting this update ? Thanks again for your informative site.
