Sprint recently rolled out the Android 5.1.1 Lollipop update for LG‘s latest curved display smartphone, the G Flex 2. Android 5.1.1 is a maintenance release that features a variety of bug fixes and performance enhancements that’ll improve the overall user experience.
The update also adds support for Factory Reset Protection, which is a theft deterrent measure introduced in Android 5.0 Lollipop. The mechanism requires a user to enter the Google account password associated with a phone before it can be wiped and restored to original factory condition.
Sprint LG Flex 2 owners can download the update by opening Settings > System Updates > Update LG Software and then selecting “Check for Update.” The phone will then initiate the download and start the install process. You need to be on a WiFi connection with an adequately charged phone. Ideally, your phone should connected to an AC charger to ensure it won’t turn off unexpectedly during installation.
