Downloading the update now, after doing a manual update check.  I think our phone is the very last phone released in 2011 or later that didn't have Jellybean available it seemed.

 

Hope this makes the phone snappier and resolves some occasional issues with wifi and texting I have been having.

Hate to be a whiner. But no enhanced multitasking, expandable notifications, safety care, etc. That the rest of the world has. I guess they will wait until G pro comes out or never will. All we have now is a bloated Nexus 4. Really hope more updates come out. i knew they would screw it u.

"We've received a flurry of tips and screenshots like the one above denoting that Ma Bell is slowly starting to trickle out Android 4.1.2 to its Optimus G owners. Seeking confirmation, we've reached out to AT&T and will provide an update of our own once we receive official word on the matter. Until then, if you're rocking an Optimus G on Big Blue's network, now might be the time to manually check your device for new software."

I have my Optimus G E970 online unlocked to use outside the US. And I've been trying to update to Jelly Bean but I keep getting 'Connection Failed due to Authentication Error'. I tried taking out my sim but also got the same message. Is it because I'm not on AT&T? Will I still get the update? Can I force update it somehow? Any help is appreciated. Please and thank you.

I'm experiencing the same issue, 'Connection Failed due to Authentication Error', as I'm an unlocker in the US (T-mobile). I will test it with AT&T SIM.
