Along with the Galaxy Tab 7.7, the LG Lucid on Verizon is set to receive an update in the near future. The build number is VS840ZV8 and includes Big Red’s Remote Diagnostics tool, a file manager, Flash Player, and more.

This is the first update for the Lucid since receiving Ice Cream Sandwich back in October. Nice to know that LG and Verizon are continuing to support a mid-range device such as this.

Update:  Verizon just reached out to us to mention that the update will actually start tomorrow.

The LG Lucid has been pegged as the next Verizon device to receive Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0). Announced moments ago, the update should start rolling out in phases today tomorrow. If you don’t feel like waiting, Verizon mentioned that you can use the Software Upgrade Assistant Tool to download it from your computer to your phone.

The update will include:

The upgrade features an enhanced notification bar that includes access to the settings menu and the ability to swipe individual notifications to remove them. Ice Cream Sandwich also comes with a customizable lock screen to access email, text messages or apps that are added to the home screen. The Multimedia Pop Up allows for easy sharing of multimedia content, directly linking to the Messaging app when viewing content.

Sorry DROID Bionic, Thunderbolt, and LG Spectrum owners.

Update 2:  Here are the support docs for the Lucid update. The update is 384MB in size.

The LG Lucid is set to receive its second update in just over two months, this one as build VS840ZV6. It looks like bug fixes for Google Maps, high battery temperatures, and weather widgets. Oh, it does introduce a new dialer widget…

The update is 48.9MB in size. More info.

LG Lucid Receiving VS840ZV6 Update, Buggy Bug Fixes is a post from: Droid Life

The LG Lucid was released to the world yesterday and it already has an update available. According to the support document, there was an “Enhanced Caller Name ID” application that needed to be disabled for whatever reason. Sounds like bloatware to me. Thanks Verizon!

The LG Lucid, a mid-range dual-core Android device, will go on sale tomorrow in Verizon stores for $79.99 on contract and after $50 mail-in rebate. In predictable fashion, units started to arrive today so that patrons can begin to lineup around the block, in hopes of getting their hands on it first. Wait…

LG Lucid Arrives in Verizon Stores for Tomorrow’s Launch, Poses for Pictures is a post from: Droid Life

The LG Lucid, a device we first told you about back in February, will be available this Thursday, March 29 (also reported by DL), at Verizon stores for $79.99 after $50 mail-in rebate. As expected, it’s a mid-range 4G LTE device that packs a punch, but without some of the top tier features we have seen in some other devices over the last few months. It has a 4″ display, only not of the HD variety. You will find a dual-core processor though, front and rear cameras, Android 2.3, and again, that crazy low price. If you were looking for an affordable, yet semi-powerful phone for your kids, this might be one to consider.

Verizon Announces the LG Lucid, a Mid-range LTE Device Available March 29 for $79.99 is a post from: Droid Life

The LG Lucid 4G (formerly the Cayman) is one of Verizon’s next 4G LTE phones, unfortunately for spec fiends, this one falls in the middle tier. Our sources have pegged this launching as early as next Thursday, March 29, somewhere in the below-$200 range. It will sport a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 4″ IPS display with Gorilla Glass (800×480), Android 2.3, 1700mAh battery, and 8GB internal storage. Nothing here that will blow your mind – that may not happen until we see the DROID Fighter or if the Galaxy SIII ever comes to Verizon.

Specs below.  

Cheers ___!

Here are the Full Specs for Verizon’s LG Lucid 4G is a post from: Droid Life

Hey, look at that! It’s the LG Lucid, a Verizon 4G LTE device that we first reported on back in February as the LG Cayman. From what we know, it is a mid-range dual-core device that probably won’t gain the interest of many tech diehards. It doesn’t match up in specs to the LG Spectrum, so look for this to be an affordable offering, sort of like what we saw with the Samsung Stratosphere. And moving on.

LG Lucid Revealed in Pictures with Verizon and 4G LTE Branding is a post from: Droid Life

Back in mid-February, our sources told us to expect both a white and dark version of the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon with 16GB of storage in the coming months. We weren’t given a specific date at that time, however, it appears now as if Big Red has chosen one according to a new device launch schedule. April 5 is the current target for those looking to enter the Nexus game at a lower price point than it currently sits. With the slashing of storage from 32GB to 16GB, we wouldn’t be surprised if the price dropped to $199 on contract, similarly to what has happened with the DROID RAZR.  

The DROID Incredible 4G is listed as well with a 4/26 potential release date. We first reported this official name on Friday along with a blue DROID RAZR and a new one from LG called the Lucid 4G which used to fall under the codename “Cayman.” The new Incredible was formerly referred to as the “Fireball” and is likely the device we saw pictured a few weeks back.

Cheers ___!

16GB Galaxy Nexus Headed to Verizon April 5, DROID Incredible 4G on April 26 is a post from: Droid Life

A couple of weeks ago, we first reported two new devices that were headed to Verizon as the LG Cayman and DROID Fighter. That report included the same dates you are seeing above of 3/29 for the Cayman and 4/12 for the Fighter, but were then only listed as “workshop” times rather than release dates. According to new information that we received, those are indeed targeted release dates.

We should point out that the LG Cayman is likely the Lucid 4G that we reported on last night. The DROID Fighter is still a mystery for now.

You will also see the HTC Fireball listed without a date, a device that our sources are now referring to as the Incredible 4G. A device by the name of Samsung Plato is listed as well, and is one we haven’t seen mentioned since last August. Knowing that it was rumored all of the way back then, we would be surprised if this was anything other than a mid-range device. Then again, “Plato” would be a nice codename for a Galaxy type device.

While Verizon was quiet during MWC (which they almost always are), they do still have plans for the next couple of months. The first part of March could be slow unless they decide to drop the Incredible 4G on is within the next couple of weeks.

Cheers ___!

Release Dates for Verizon’s DROID Fighter and LG Lucid 4G is a post from: Droid Life

How about a peak into the future as we end our week? According to sources of ours, Verizon’s next few phone releases will include the DROID Incredible 4G (formerly the HTC Fireball), the LG Lucid 4G, and another version of the DROID RAZR in blue of all colors.

With the Fireball switching to its retail name of “Incredible 4G,” it should be safe to say that the leaked HTC device we saw pictured a few weeks back is indeed the same device. With an Incredible-esque back plate and a Verizon 4G LTE logo on the boot screen, this is probably your next phone in the Incredible line. What we have to ask now is whether or not this phone will be as underwhelming at launch as it sounded back when it leaked. Previous rumors had it with a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, a Super AMOLED screen instead of Super LCD, 8MP rear camera, VGA front shooter, and Ice Cream Sandwich. I know that on paper those specs don’t look awful, but after seeing HTC announce the One XL for AT&T with a Snapdragon S4 clocked at 1.5GHz and a Super LCD2 display, they aren’t going to impress anyone. We’ll be crossing our fingers that those rumored specs were wrong and Verizon will surprise us with a similar device to the One series.

Our sources also confirmed to us that a new device by LG is coming called the Lucid 4G along with a blue DROID RAZR. No word on if the RAZR is a MAXX or not. The LG phone is likely the LG Cayman that we first reported a few weeks back and could be a mid-range 4G device since the Spectrum is their big dog for the first half of this year on Verizon.
