Looks like Sprint has quietly started rolling out Android 4.1.2 update for its LG Optimus G. We don’t have the official information from the Now Network, but few members of XDA-Developers’ forums noted that their devices notified them about the new software. And they grabbed the 474MB-heavy file only to share it with the rest of the world.
If you’re not in the group who already got the update and can’t wait for few more days to take the official route, you can flash it without Sprint’s interference. You should know, however, that such a move could void your warranty, so you better be extra sure what you’re doing. XDA community could help you out — this thread has a ton of information to guide you along the way — but something could always go wrong. And if that, God forbid, happens – you can’t hold IntoMobile liable. Don’t say we haven’t warned you.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
