I thnk it sucks that despite Google making tap to pay available to the masses with kitkat, carriers are allowed to have it removed. Restraint of trade much?

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

can you install this without a wipe?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Koopa777:
I think it sucks that carriers are allowed to block out and taint parts of an OS, an open-source OS at that, just because they have people by the balls in terms of contracts and subsidies. Tethering? Free, and part of Android, but try telling a carrier that. Tap-to-Pay? "Oh but ISIS is so much better!," says carriers. "You can use that while we install CIQ to track every movement that you make!"

Ahem...sorry about that. /rant ;)

Almost to the point of trying to root guys, its installed, but updating a lot of apps now.
[T-Mobile LG G2] derekedw:
I know there's code in there for tap to pay because using a shortcut creator, you can see activities, but it appears the UI to make changes is gone or hidden. Having root, there may be a SQL change that can be made to turn it on or point it to google wallet.

There are misconceptions.... I didn't not need the kdz with lg support tool. It automatically upgraded me.

Ok guys I found the LG PC Suite and updated to latest version i got it from kioskea and i found the phone software upgrade I click it and it checks for upgrade but it says im up to date with d801g... man im mad ive been trying for a whole day

any help?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Howie Dub:
Had to get a new phone and I'm doing the upgrade through the PC Suite as I type this. Are you rooted? Maybe you have to be unrooted for it to work through the PC Suite. Using the support tool and going the upgrade recovery has worked for me twice with updating the software on my old (and now dead) phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2] CHlCKEN:
No I'm not rooted last time I did that i had to get a new LG G2 never again. And why is yours dead..

ALSO ID LIKE TO ADD Im on the LG Mobile Support Tool and im doing upgrade recovery the second part is taking so much time the analyzing phone setting and the seconds elapsed are stuck at 14 seconds (about 20 minutes passed and nothing seems to move)

im not even rooting or doing any fancy bootloader things and doing a official update is this hard.. wow... you geeks who do it all easily Kudos to you
[T-Mobile LG G2] Howie Dub:
Dropped it and the screen wouldn't turn on. I had it in a TPU case, which isn't great for shock protection. Phone turns on, but can't see anything. Now the screen turns on, but it only shows colorful snow. Touch works no problem and I can unlock the phone, but I have no clue what's open and what's not.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Howie Dub:
That's so odd.......are you in download mode when you're doing the upgrade? And I consider myself a novice - I can't code, dev, nothing, I just follow directions, haha.
[T-Mobile LG G2] CHlCKEN:
Whats this download mode? How do you get into it.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Howie Dub:
I think that's the issue.........turn your phone off....start the support tool...while holding the volume up button, plug in your phone to the usb and that will put you into download mode. the support tool should start looking for your phone. then go to options and select upgrade recovery. it will take about 45 minutes to download the software, then another 5 to install it on your phone. You may get an error message on your computer saying that it's lost a connection and if you want to close the support tool, but as long as your phone is showing that it's upgrading, don't close anything.
[T-Mobile LG G2] abdel12345:
How cone when I put mine in download mode it just keeps searching for device. Do I press update recovery even if it doesn't say it recognized it?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Howie Dub:
do you have official LG drivers?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Koopa777:
First off, you are talking about the AOSP lockscreen correct? Not LG stock, you can only access the AOSP LS with Xposed(to my knowledge). If so, there are two possibilities here. 1 is that the lockscreen is hidden in the system, so LG just kept the AOSP 4.2.2 lockscreen and didn't update it to 4.4.2. 2 is that Xposed somehow invokes it manually, and there is no AOSP LS in the ROM.

Either way, all that needs to happen is the AOSP 4.4.2 LS be used. One potential possibility is that you replace LG's lockscreen with the AOSP one manually, like switching the files or something. Any thoughts on this possibility by someone smarter at this than me?

And yes, it does matter. There is absolutely no reason LG should take this out. I understand these OEM skins are a necessary evil of sorts, but when their bastardized version of Android starts removing core features such as that, yeah, it matters. Plus, it is pretty damn cool. :laugh:
[T-Mobile LG G2] Howie Dub:
yeah, can't tell you why the PC Suite isn't giving you the upgrade.......try download mode with the support tool and see if it allows you to upgrade. if not, you might have to install it using this method and the kdz in the OP

Ok so im in the download mode and it says firmware update and the bars been at 0% for 5 mins now so its probably not doing anything..

the download mode popped up even before i turned on the support tool.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Semantics:
I've never put the phone in download mode to flash a kdz and I've never had an issue. Is anyone having issues with pdanet after the upgrade? I'm not able to Bluetooth tether. It keeps saying I have no internet when I have full bars and working data.
[T-Mobile LG G2] royale192:
For everyone who is getting the phone has the lastest software, I followed the directions So excited I missed steps. I missed steps like Click "Normal web upgrade test" (bottom right hand side) IS A BIG ONE. after that it worked. I had downloaded the .KDZ file yesterday took 5m28 seconds. And as they said do not remove USB cable till its done. you only need to run the R&D test tool. I did not have any luck with the LG suite as some people have. The LG suite is for the AT&T guys for there update.
[T-Mobile LG G2] abdel12345:
I have plugged my phone in and it said driver installation complete. Isn't that the official drivers or dues it need to download other drivers as well?

I'm living proof that you don't need to have the phone in download mode. I've reverted to stock 5 times and upgraded tonight successfully with never going into download mode. The tool puts the phone there for you.
[T-Mobile LG G2] royale192:
Got ya. I could not get my phone to start until I went to download mode first.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Howie Dub:
is the download in the support tool showing as 0% as well? the phone will show 0% until the software is downloaded.
[T-Mobile LG G2] CHlCKEN:
Like i said earlier the software upgrade button is closed off its there but i cant go into it i can only go to update recovery which i already said got stuck.

[T-Mobile LG G2] expertzero1:
reflash kitkat again,

no drain over here for bluetooth.

but if you do want to go back, flash a 4.2 file and root again bro...
[T-Mobile LG G2] Howie Dub:
sorry chicken...wish i could help...haven't experienced what you're getting so it's hard to know exactly how to troubleshoot it.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jcnbama:
Guys I am confused. I have read over the first 7 - 10 pages of this and still am having some issues. Based on what I have read the easiest method to make this happen is to simply use the LG User Support Tool > Go to options > Upgrade Recovery. Everything will start from there and then it will not erase my data and would most likely lose root even with "Survival Mode" turned on.

So, I tried that and everything was ok but when I started the download it got stuck at time elapsed 00:15 for like 30 mins and nothing happened. This is weird. Any thoughts on that? Also I have the .kdz file I downloaded from Android Central on my phone as well. Is there anything I can do with that which would make it easier?

Lastly, Is there anything at this point that would make root survive? I am just checking as I know this is changing minute by minute. Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2] jimgustafson74:
Yes, use this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 ,just instead of using the 4.2.2 .kdz file...use the 4.4 .kdz file,you will lose root and custom recovery AND data so back up all your files, music, and pics etc. before hand and BE SURE you do the factory reset at the end of the tutorial. This is the method i used and i am LOVIN 4.4.2, just wish we had root so i can give that casmera mod ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2548974 ) a once over...also, fyi im using the tmobile d801 unit.
[T-Mobile LG G2] sairegsx:
[MENTION=4673493]jcnbama[/MENTION] theres a rom at the t-mobile dev section that has root(stock 4.4.2), and for the .kdz file it goes on your PC, that way you dont have to download it..., hope that helps.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jimgustafson74:
yes but be careful if you flash that rom, you lose recovery and he hasnt been able to get twrp back after flashing, youll be rooted but with stock recovery available afterward as your only current option.
[T-Mobile LG G2] jcnbama:
So is it just a standard flashable rom? I could put TWRP on the device, do a backup and then flash that rom. If that's what your saying. Is it just a flashable rooted stock 4.4.2 rom?

[T-Mobile LG G2] stevessvt:
People seem to be getting the same overall screen time though, thats why I think its just being reported differently. I just got 50 minutes of on screen time so far going from 100% to 90%. And its reporting that Bluetooth used cpu total of 7m 6s, and keep awake of 1h 30m 42s

So with the app System Panel reporting nothing running bluetooth related, bluetooth cpu and keep awake is still ticking the seconds away going up....
[T-Mobile LG G2] itsalexaye90:
It's staying awake for me too. Bluetooth has actually been awake longer than it's been off the charger. So strange.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Sfkn2:
It would appear that betterbatterystats and wakelockdetector would not work without root, so I am unsure of what's really causing Bluetooth to keep awake when I never use it. As someone else suggested, it could be an error in reporting. This would be the most likely theory to go with at this time. I also notice that "Phone" is using quite a bit of battery even though I pretty much never talk on the phone. I would assume this is now the new battery rating for signal itself?
[T-Mobile LG G2] griffdiz:
Please can someone help me? I'm about to rip my hair out. I have tried every way I can think to update to kitkat since this LG release and no luck. I tried the PC suite and it gave me an error when checking for the update. I tried the LG Mobile Support Tool- it tells me my phone is up to date and when I try update recovery it says software downloading but nothing actually downloads. So I tried that Flash Tool and I use 7 zip to see the files in it and run UpTestEx.exe and every time is says LGMobileDL.dll is missing from your computer. I must be doing that wrong. If anyone can explain that part to me in extremely basic terms, please I would appreciate it!

By the way, I have downloaded the drivers from the directory link on the LG G2 Stock Firmware post (sorry I am not allowed to post links).

And I have the update downloaded onto my computer as well not that it helps me at this point since I can't seem to get that far.

I was completely stock, never rooted and both programs kept saying I had the latest software. Had to manually flash the kdz.
[T-Mobile LG G2] AnteusFogg:
I think I'm going to flash back to stock. I don't see any major improvement but my battery life is far from what it was on 4.2.2 :(

I've flashed over the 4.2.2, battery life seemed really bad. I've done a factory reset, no better. The battery drains MUCH faster while the phone is used, or at least it feels like so. When the phone is idle it looks like equivalent to stock though. But for me no benefit of this rom outweighs the loss of the awesome battery life.

Hopefully the OTA will be improved...

[T-Mobile LG G2] Hid3rs:
First of all, my device is a D802, but I have the same problem as many of yours, which is bluetooth draining battery like crazy (at least, it seems like that).

BUT, does it really keeps the device awake? If I look at the battery stats, it indeed does it, but I've just downloaded wakelock detector, and bluetooth isn't even on the list.

I also freezed the whole bluetooth app in ROM Toolbox (I can't even turn BT on like that), but battery stats say it's still keeping my device awake. Weird.
[T-Mobile LG G2] bigbo12:
Well I wonder whats happening with those of you who are having battery issues... was your phone previously rooted?

As for me battery life is at least on par with jellybean.. I dare say a bit better.

After the update, when you check the battery stats it would appear that the number readings are falling faster than you are used to but look at how long your battery actually lasts... it seems to be a calibration thing and after a few battery cycles, it may work itself out. I dont think the battery life took a noticeable hit on this update, at least based on my experience.

I did notice that bluetooth was on after the first boot after the update... I turned it off. Hasn't been a problem since.

[T-Mobile LG G2] Howie Dub:
I haven't been able to get it to stop...tried everything, but not really noticing a drop in battery usage. I'm at 2.5 hours screen time, 40 minutes calls, with 72% battery left on 10:20 usage on battery, which is on par if not slightly better than before.

One thing I did notice is that the awake time shows twice as fast as actual time. 1 minute awake is actually only 30 seconds. So maybe it's just a glitch in reporting and isn't really affecting anything. :confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2] Iconic24:
I just moved over from a Note 2 yesterday but I've been keeping track of battery life with gsam and I've noticed that between 60%-70% of battery loss is coming from app usage. On my Note 2, the biggest battery drainage came from the screen. I'm pretty sure this isn't normal right?

Edit* I'm on the pre-rooted G2 4.4.2 rom if that changes anything
[T-Mobile LG G2] magestic1995:
And why is that

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:04 PM ----------

Also I have had the bluetooth battery reading in the past. It goes away usually after a charge cycle. Should not be an actual problem.
[T-Mobile LG G2] KentuckyHouse:
I disagree. If anything, the use of location reporting or GPS should be less in Kit Kat because of how it's automatically turned on and off now.

Pre-Kit Kat, you had to manually turn GPS on and off when you wanted to use it. Now it works the way it should (dare I say) like the iPhone. When you enter an app that needs location/GPS, it automatically turns it on (as noted by the pin in the status bar). When you leave that app or close it out, GPS turns off with no input required from the user.

This causes less usage and relieves the user of needing to manually do anything.

BTW, on the subject of battery, mine has been fantastic since the update. Better than Jellybean, when it was already great. I also haven't seen the Bluetooth thing that others have seen.

[T-Mobile LG G2] Howie Dub:
To everyone that is having issues with PC Suite saying 10g is the latest software for your phone, do you have the black or the white G2? What about those having issues with the Support Tool...black or white G2?
[T-Mobile LG G2] gr33nd3vil:
There should be 3 settings for GPS, battery save, device, and then device + mobile networks. It's no different then the past just better options for it. Battery save, will only allow certain apps to use it vs full device and such. I guess I'm referencing from experience using CM11 witch would be more pure Google vs LG's mods, however, it should be no different. When going to battery save it was honestly better on battery in my opinion. Again LG could have tweaked something with Kit Kat, however it's just my experience with it.
