My wife's White phone will not update 10g yet via PC Suite or Support Tool. Had same problem last update via PC Suite and OTA (OTA 10g was available at the time). It did update a few days later (OTA). My Black phone updated no problem both times. White purchased Sept '13, Black Feb '14.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Howie Dub:
I think your wife's post is the one I saw. I wanted to see if that was the reason for most people here. It doesn't make sense that LG would update the white phones later...maybe they're staggering it so that their servers don't get overloaded.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Howie Dub:
Have you tried the R/D tool and manually flashed the software?
[T-Mobile LG G2] subriany:
No, my wife has trouble even with her voice mail :o far from posting in forums.

---------- Post added at 12:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 AM ----------

I installed R/D and went as far as country:South Korea. I didn't want to brick my wife's phone (even though she is South Korean). Tried everything else at least three times, install/re-install. Frustrating, gave up. She can wait. She doesn't even know what an update is. Mine is updated and I am happy. Will try hers OTA next week.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Howie Dub:
Sounds like my wife, haha. :laugh: Seems like this is probably the reason some are having issues. Hope to hear from more people to confirm. I've updated the OP with this info and cleaned it up a bit.

Lo tengo... Siii, finalmente KK está en mi G2
[T-Mobile LG G2] Sfkn2:
No root here. Third charge on KitKat. 2 hours of screen on time, 12 hours total usage on this charge, and I'm down to 20%. Idle overnight of 6 hours, lost 22%. I don't think I've ever seen my battery go that fast before. I'm wondering if I need to do a factory reset.
[T-Mobile LG G2] rawdaddymagraden:
Experiencing quite the opposite here. No Bluetooth Drain I used it all day in the car as I travel for work. By this morning I had 16 hours with 2 hour screen time with 40% battery and 5 % lost overnight. Very happy with battery. This is weird though. I a flashed manually via the kdz with no root just plain stock.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Th3rdBorn:
Battery Drain

I flashed the kk update and supersu update to retain root but didn't get a chance to wipe cache or dalvik before it rebooted. I was having weird battery drain problems and it was saying Phone was using a large amount of battery. I decided to try and wipe cache and dalvik and I haven't had any problems since. Now battery life is comparable if not better than JB...
[T-Mobile LG G2] Sfkn2:
Just factory reset here and I'm still having Bluetooth drain. Will check back in with battery info in a few charges.
[T-Mobile LG G2] itsalexaye90:
About four charges and two factory reset later. I still have Bluetooth drain. And I haven't even turned it on
[T-Mobile LG G2] abdel12345:
Lol
[T-Mobile LG G2] Hid3rs:
An other thing I noticed besides BT battery drain is mm-qcamera-daemon, which also drains battery.

Could someone mess with the camera for a few mins? Just open the camera app switch between photo and video mode, taking pics isn't necessary. Then go and see your battery stats, I wonder if you guys have this qcamera-daemon like me...
[T-Mobile LG G2] AnteusFogg:
I would say don't bother with the factory reset. I'm flashing 4.2.2 as we speak, as I had more or less the same as you: less than 2h of screen time and 24h to drain my battery. I can't see any benefit from 4.4.2 that would balance 50% loss of battery life.

EDIT: Too late I see :D
[T-Mobile LG G2] RedTiki:
I have the black G2 and have trouble with both the PC suite and the Support Tool. but surely that shouldn't matter or make a difference!
[T-Mobile LG G2] Sfkn2:
Yeah.. Too late. My nexus 4 had a much better battery life when I jumped from JB to KK. I can't believe this upgrade is killing my g2's battery so horribly.
[T-Mobile LG G2] AnteusFogg:
Got a bootloop after downgrading :mad:

Trying to flash again, but i'm afraid I'll have to factory reset again :crying:
[T-Mobile LG G2] gunnyman:
Downgrade requires a factory reset
[T-Mobile LG G2] Sfkn2:
No Bluetooth wakelock after factory reset!!!!!!! Can't comment on drain yet though.
[T-Mobile LG G2] bigbo12:
I believe the battery drain is just a faulty readout. The battery life seems to be better. Base your judgement on how long it's takes to completely drain your battery. I played a video for almost an hour with hd and WiFi and Bluetooth and 100% brightness with. ...wait for it ....14% battery life left.... obviously the battery percentage readout is wrong.
[T-Mobile LG G2] AnteusFogg:
Since I'm lazy I "reflashed" KK and I'll give it a couple more days to see. Coming from the Galaxy S4 it can't be much worse anyway...

Maybe it's an impression...
[T-Mobile LG G2] majorhi:
Since upgrading to KK I've had no issues and still have 91% of battery left from when I upgraded last night. So battery life so far seems to be as good if not better than JB. I'm on T-Mo KK.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Sfkn2:
Hopefully you can get your phone working perfectly again. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2] Hid3rs:
Did you use the power button, vol- reset, or the one you can find in the settings menu? I've flashed KK kdz 2 times, done hard reset 4 times, BT wakelock is still there.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Ogre840:
Been trying to get the LG PC Suite to update my phone since Thursday when I saw the news, but I'm still getting

I'd rather be lazy and use the PC Suite instead of the other method to update, but I'm almost to the breaking point of my patience on this.

I have tried rebooting my phone and PC to see if that would help, but nada. Anyone run into this and have a solution?

Also when I try the LG Mobile Support Tool it tells me I'm on the newest version as well (without downloading the KDZ file beforehand)
[T-Mobile LG G2] Sfkn2:
I used the factory reset from the settings menu.
[T-Mobile LG G2] MikeJennni:
Can someone confirm/deny torrents using mobile data with this upgrade? I'm only able to connect using wifi
[T-Mobile LG G2] blackangst:
Try uninstalling PC Suite and reinstalling?
[T-Mobile LG G2] Sfkn2:
Torrenting works fine on LTE for me. Downloading Mythbusters right now from EZTV! :)
[T-Mobile LG G2] MikeJennni:
Ok thx
[T-Mobile LG G2] Hid3rs:
Hmm, I might give it a try, thanks! Although, I think you were just lucky this time. I tried freezing the bluetooth app, so I couldn't even turn it on, but it still showed up in battery stats anyway.
[T-Mobile LG G2] KentuckyHouse:
For those of you having problems updating (6 different ways), for the love of god follow this to a T and you'll be good to go. Just download the kdz first so you've got it to flash.

If you can't get that to work, I have no clue what to tell you. Maybe you SHOULD just wait for the OTA.

My fitbit app will no longer sync with fitbit flex, is this working for anyone?
[T-Mobile LG G2] pdolo5784:
I'm stuck between upgrading or not. I have no problems with my stock with root phone. I would like to upgrade though but I'm hearing mixed signals on the battery drain. People with the massive drains, what was your setup prior to upgrading? Just curious, should I unroot just to be on the safe side if I go thru the lg tool?
[T-Mobile LG G2] coburn_c:
Battery usage is comparable, even with bluetooth misbehaving. Auto-brightness no longer being schizophrenic is reason enough to upgrade.
[T-Mobile LG G2] AnteusFogg:
Had the same issue. You have to go with the method documented for upgrading with the kdz file, which I did. Upgrade went fine but I'm a little mixed with the battery. Since I'd need to factory reset to downgrade I'll give it another day or so but I'm seriously considering the downgrade.

Look a few pages back, I quoted the kdz update method.
[T-Mobile LG G2] blitz911:
I was stock with only root too. No custom recovery. I just updated via Mobile Tool, took about 20 minutes. After I updated, I just let it settle for a while, then rebooted it again. I lost root and I have the Bluetooth issue, but battery is definitely better for me. I watched a 90 minute movie online and did my usual FB, IG, YouTube, Flappy Bird, etc..screen on time is going on 4 hours and I have 51% left. For me that's awesome but YMMV. Kit Kat is definitely the real deal..Happy flashing.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Sfkn2:
4 hours on this charge, 2 hours SOT. Battery's at 35%. I think something's wrong with my battery, or the meter is just way off..
[T-Mobile LG G2] abdel12345:
After hering all this About Battery minor sure I want to update anymore. Right now on jelly bean I'm at 56 percent with 4 hours and 27 minutes screen on time

[T-Mobile LG G2] Sfkn2:
Nothing disabled. LUX auto brightness set on dynamic. Yahoo mail, gmail, Microsoft exchange all set for push. No sync on Facebook. All Google syncs are on. 1.5 hours of Ingress (Google game), 1.35gb torrent for Top Gear (TV show). Google Now and location sharing on Google Plus are both on.

Edit: none of that time was I on Wi-Fi.. Maybe that's why.

Still stuck on Jelly Bean.

Wondering if there is any light of root thus far?

Also, how would I go about updating my T-Mobile LG G2 (White) from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 without factory reset, or is that not possible? I am rooted and have not yet received any OTA about the 4.4.2.
[T-Mobile LG G2] Sfkn2:
This update isn't available as OTA. Updating does not wipe data. Have you read the first few posts of this thread?
[T-Mobile LG G2] umarsl:
I have read the posts and the downloaded the firmware and the mobile support tool but I just wasn't sure if it would factory reset or not.

Also, for some reason the Support tool says "Software up to date" Software Version: D80110C

Finally got my white LG G2 updated

I was having a terrible time getting my white G2 to update until I watched a video on youtube called "HOW TO UNBRICK RESTORE TO STOCK FIRMWARE LG G2 T-MOBILE VERIZON UNROOT OFFICIAL" by UbeenStryked.

The trick for me was right clicking and running UpTestEX as an administrator. Before it would just ask me for my LG user name and password like it shows in the video. After I ran UpTestEX as an administrator the instructions on loading the kdz file made complete sense and my phone started loading like the video shows...

Hopefully this helps someone
[T-Mobile LG G2] GeneGozar:
Android 4.4.2 updates for T-Mobile devices have been rolling out at a frenzied pace over the past couple of weeks, and it’s not about to slow down now. Today, LG released its KitKat update for the Magenta LG G2. But it’s not yet available as an OTA update. It’s only available through the LG PC Utility desktop software, or by grabbing a direct download.
[T-Mobile LG G2] blackangst:
I'm trying an experiment. I set my battery saver to run immediately, and only chose Bluetooth to turn off.

Full disclosure: so far, although I do see Bluetooth usage in battery stats even though it's off, I've had amazing battery life nonetheless. We'll see how this experiment goes.
[T-Mobile LG G2] abdel12345:
There's different versions for different colors? What's up with that? Are the different colored versions any different?
[T-Mobile LG G2] gunnyman:
Magenta is a reference to T-Mobile. It's their color. Their logo etc

[T-Mobile LG G2] PeterC18st:
Originally I had the Bluetooth drain after doing a dirty flash. After doing a factory reset via the hardware buttons. Then redid the flash. Everything was all fine and dandy no mods drain but once I paired it back up with my cars head unit via Bluetooth all I can say is my volume is extremely low. I have reset my head unit and my phone hardware resets and clearing cache in storage settings and re pairing. Well still ****ty sound now. I'm running stock and haven't rooted or done any modding of my own. Everything worked fine on 4.2.2 but 4.4.2 no dice.

Sorry I originally posted a question in the general section forgot the rules for a second. Updated my post and posting in troubleshooting.

[T-Mobile LG G2] rebar71:
I was getting poor battery performance at first as well. I was getting a horrible wakelock from "phone" even though I had not made or received a call all day yesterday. I turned off WiFi calling and it has been excellent today. I had it on - but set to prefer cell network. Granted, I haven't used my phone hardly at all today, but I'm still at 89% after 13.5 hours - only 30 minutes SOT.

I also have the Bluetooth wakelock - even though bluetooth is OFF.

Has anyone had an issue with the default email app and exchange server?

I had no problems with 4.2.2. I upgraded to 4.4.2 and it still worked.

However, I did a factory reset in 4.4.2 and I am now unable to connect to the exchange mail server. It also requires a client certificate for authentication.

I get the error, cannot connect to server, check connection, etc. No network problems, just doesn't want to see to authenticate.

A few observations. in v4.2.2, the email apps showed up as an app to backup via the LG Backup tool. In v4.4.2 it is no longer available.

Thanks!

It took me 3 tries, as I was also stuck at that screen. It'll eventually go through. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2] Deusdies:
Can the fix be applied without being rooted? I'm at work now so I can't check - does adb push allow us to put stuff in /system directory even without root on the phone? I don't have root b/c I didn't install a custom ROM, I just downloaded the KK update which removed root and also the custom recovery.

Battery

FWIW my battery life has not changed one iota. Perhaps, you just need to let the phone settle down? It will be recaching everything like when you first started it etc. That is usually the source of the battery drain. Also, I did not perform any sort of factory reset, just flashed and went about my day. 30 minutes of 4g lte netflix = 4% battery drain. Same as before.

G2 Xposed / Nav Bar

Prior to upgrading to 4.4 I was running 4.2 with Root and using G2 Xposed to add a recent apps icon to Nav Bar. After upgrade this 4th Nav Bar button has switched to now being a Quick Memo button, which I never use.

Without flashing back to 4.2 / Wiping / Rooting / re-configuring g2 Xposed is there any other way to remove this button?

[T-Mobile LG G2] AnteusFogg:
I think you're right, all it needed was to settle down.

I'm now at 85% with 7h on battery, 1h screen time. On par with what I had before.

I disabled smartshareprovider and vu-talk (the first because it went crazy and the second because I prefer to disable what I'm never gonna use) and I've been with wifi off and good LTE signal, 20 min YouTube + 30 min BT on, plus a little bit on emailing/browsing

Just to give a sense. So indeed a little wait doesn't kill. Bluetooth is still showing in my battery stats at about 5% but I guess it's not a real issue here.
