    Lmao 2 years?

    My ex back in like… 2015? Bought a Motorola phone. It PROMISED the next version of Android, aka, 1 singular update. It never got it.

    Everyone was so pissed, Motorola made an announcement that it was going to stick to their word, and then over a year went by and I think they released a beta to a certain country, and then never actually fully released it.

    So they didn’t even give 1 year of updates that they promised on all of the marketing material. Good luck with 2.

      Haha this happened to me almost verbatim except it was an LG phone.

      Big “we already got their money, fuck 'em” energy. Made me decide to aggressively avoid all LG products going forward.

      Best part was there was a bug in the version of their Android I was stuck with that would cause the phone to randomly shut off if charging overnight. I think I eventually installed a custom ROM which fixed it.

        My LG G3 was my last LG phone. Not to mention how many phone models had boot looping issues because of crappy solder? And they took multiple years to switch to a better solder lol.

        I also installed a custom ROM on mine to make it usable.

      I’m having Windows Phone 7 flashbacks.

      RIP HTC Raider, you were a great phone that got shafted hard by Google.
