I have both devices demon. To be honest its not hugely different in real world usage, in fact I sometimes think lg's user interface performs better than the touchwiz. It could be something to do with the way they have underclocked the processor but it could just be that you need to clear your cache now and again especially antutu try clear its data then retest I found more you ran the lower the performance was. It is just a benchmark at the end of the day as i was getting similar performance with the the multipad quantum but was practically impossible to use on a daily basis fir anything :silly:
[G Pad 8.3 General] Carsus55:
FYI I had heard the s4 was overclocked to 1.9ghz and that 1.7ghz was standard for this chipset.
[G Pad 8.3 General] vatis24:
Just updated from lg pc suite, the new firmware its very similar graphical to 4,2,2 but in performance i noticed a lot of improvement, i like the new minimal white icons and the transparent notification bar in home screen!! I am totally happy with the update blazing fast and it wasnt needed to wipe anything, good job LG glad i am owner of this g pad,

Thanks Vatis

Nothing here OTA or via PC Suite. I'm on a US Tablet but based in Canada.

Anyone seen any videos reviewing the KK update? I've seen a YouTube or two for some of the ROMs based on the 18a update, but not of the actual "Genuine" one...

[G Pad 8.3 General] crashDebug:
I have received the ota notification and downloaded the update, but now the tablet is not booting anymore. It just boots to recovery (twrp 2.6.3.1), someone has any idea how to make it work again without a wipe?
[G Pad 8.3 General] muiriddin:
OTA updates with root are a crapshoot. I know this is too late for you, but I typically would not take an OTA if I had rooted the device unless the software from the OTA update supports root (something like cyanogenmod as an example).

Since you specifically said "without wipe" I would start by only wiping cache and dalvik cache, and then retrying the boot. If you have already tried that the easiest next step would be a clean wipe back to stock, however if you require root make sure to investigate how easy/hard it is to root the new release since the LG support tool upgrade recovery method will probably now wipe your device back to stock 4.4.2 instead of 4.2.2.

Good luck!
[G Pad 8.3 General] mug2k:
Mine was rooted and I was getting an error when trying to upgrade via OTA, I also tried unrooting it via SuperSU but it still failed. I was finally able to upgrade it using the LG PC Suite :good:
[G Pad 8.3 General] Ultraman1966:
I'm full stock and update went fine (UK) but the stock lg app icons like sound recorder are not showing up properly with Nova launcher. It just shows a green icon which means image can't be found or it's not there but the apps work fine.
[G Pad 8.3 General] muiriddin:
I have read in the development threads on the stock 4.4.2 roms that non-lg launchers all seem to have the icon problem.
[G Pad 8.3 General] crashDebug:
crapshoot's the word indeed. I like this tablet but LG's behavior on advanced / poweruser support is starting to make me regret the purchase - I should have known better from the whole GPE snafu. Updating via OTA was a no-go, as wiping dalvik / cache, downloading the flashable zip and installing it via recovery. Everything always ended in bootloops or boot to recovery only. I had to try THREE TIMES (each with a 1.2GB download, for chrissakes) to have the support tool program restore my device to stock 4.4.2, and even then, only because I didn't press OK on an error message and let it work in background.

and of course it wiped everything, no biggie, I was just lazy to restore all my app settings.
[G Pad 8.3 General] badmoj0:
How did you do this? I can't get the support tool to recognize my tablet. I can't get past TWRP even if I try to restore my backups from 4.2.2 stock ROM or custom ROM. The tablet always boots into TWRP.
[G Pad 8.3 General] stetre76:
funny, SWS (Switzerland) G Pads seem to be only ones that haven't received the update yet :confused:

let's see how long it takes to get it....
[G Pad 8.3 General] crashDebug:
The only reason I can come up with, you don't have the proper drivers installed. You can find a button to install them in the LG support tool itself. Also keep in mind that the tablet must be put into a "download mode". from completely powered off, press & hold vol+ and vol-, then press power.

I have win7 x64 and it works, no clue about win8 though
[G Pad 8.3 General] willzrocking:
I had same problem, power off completely, hold vol +/- then plug in usb dont press power button should put it in download mode ;) thats how got it done anyway. Needed this after trying cm11. Was suprised how warm it got and antutu only got 20000 vs stock 26000. So thought until more stable and they fix the brightness issue going to stay stock kitkat :)
[G Pad 8.3 General] muiriddin:
We are still waiting here in the US as well...
[G Pad 8.3 General] badmoj0:
Ok I thought I was in download mode but evidently I wasn't. After I put the tablet into download mode with willzrocking's help, all was easy after that. Big thanks to crashDebug as well.

I have a US Tablet and am based in Canada. Just checked via the PC Suite, and the upgrade from V50010A to V50020B is available. I'm currently running the stock ROM and no launcher.

I will upgrade later today, but first I want to check through all the things that OUGHT to be fixed so that I can more objectively see for myself how well they HAVE been fixed. Is there a comprehensive list of things that we should be expecting? A quick look around shows I should be looking for:

- Fixed brightness / gamma correction (i didn't have the seven lights issue nor the blue line)

- Improved sound quality (mine is VERY poor at lower levels, decent at max)

- General KK look and feel updates, snappiness, etc.

What else is there? I'd like to get a list going than then compare as directly as I can with those points in mind. Thanks!

[G Pad 8.3 General] charnobo:
Does this upgrade disable writing to sd card ?

I use utorrent and have my downloads written to my sd card plus pictures and videos stored there
[G Pad 8.3 General] Shawheim:
My external sd card was fine. I could still access the stuff I have on it through the file manager and other apps. I didn't try to move anything from internal to external storage tho.
[G Pad 8.3 General] erwaso:
Immersive Mode?
[G Pad 8.3 General] Shawheim:
Immersive mode is a party of Kit Kat that makes the virtual on screen buttons go away when you are watching videos or playing games. Full screen mode basically.
[G Pad 8.3 General] erwaso:
Nice, i have to use an app for that now lol. Now my only issues are moving files between internal and external sd (writing) and OTG support ....

The upgrade on my G Pad went fine, but the G Pad reboots after few minutes. I tried to restart the G Pad, but it did not help.

HELP!!
[G Pad 8.3 General] Impromark:
I've done my update. For the three items on my checklist from the last page, first impressions:

1. Gamma and brightness don't look THAT different. Playing videos does look better though, but not night and day (sic) for dark scenes. Playing an episode of CSI (which is abhorrently dark) is watchable.

2. Sound is fixed, thank goodness. Now it no longer sounds like I'm listening to videos through a paper cup at anything but max volume.

3. General tweaks seem solid. the upper bar transparency and color changes look great. No idea on battery life.

Unfortunately the KK update killed my ICS Browser +, which had been my go-to for over a year now on all my devices. Looking for an alternative with quick controls, which is really why I kept it... Anyone have any ideas about a replacement?

[G Pad 8.3 General] Mobius360:
I noticed OK Google works, on my G2 it does not. I haven't updated the LG apps yet though because I had read somewhere that's what made OK Google not work on the G2. I'm not sure what app causes the issue. Guessing Q Voice.

Would like to see a log of the update changes from LG.

No knock code & No multi task button option like the G Pro 2. Not totally surprised.

Overall things feel much like they did on the G2 KK update. A great tablet just got a little bit better.
[G Pad 8.3 General] killerapl:

Yes..the ART runtime is present in developer settings. To enable go to about Tablet and Software Version..and tap on build number few times, Developer option will be unlocked.

Factory reset necessary after updating?

Hello,

I just updated my unrooted LG pad to Kitkat. Should I do a factory reset to have everything “minty fresh” and or is that not necessary (I’m thinking what should wipe Dalvik cache, maybe reduce flash memory fragmentation etc etc).
[G Pad 8.3 General] getmealive:
Yes..you can do factory reset for fresh kit Kat update...but you will have to reinstall your personal apps after factory reset. I also did factory reset. If you enable Developer settings..don't enable ART runtime, cause ART runtime reduce performance of your G Pad, and it takes more space of your internal storage.

Just installed KitKat 4.4.2 w/ mobile support tool

Thanks for those in the US who posted that KitKat was available in the US via the LG Mobile Support Tool. I installed KitKat last night on my G Pad with no problems (FYI the pulldown in the phone vendor section is "USA" for those who have a LG WiFi only G Pad). Took about an hour from start to finish and once I had KitKat installed, rooting with ioroot25 was really easy.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Vitamin_D:

[G Pad 8.3 General] Subtleone:
Are you rooted? Do you have a recovery installed? If so, you might consider using the flashable one.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Vitamin_D:
I am not rooted. I took it out of the box and have made no modifications.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Shawheim:
You need to change your usb connection settings on the tablet from charge only to LG sync mode.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Vitamin_D:
LG software mode is enabled and has been.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Shawheim:
Try to switch it and switch it back. Or uninstall and download the PC drivers again.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Subtleone:
An alternate solution is to use Download mode.

1) Disconnect tablet from PC if connected, and close LG software if open.

2) Power off tablet

3) Press volume up/down at the same time (not power button)

4) Still holding the volume button pressed, connect to PC.

5) Download mode will start. Now turn on the LG Software. It will recognize the tablet and no doubt offer to install the firmware. Do it.

This should work everytime.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Vitamin_D:
That isn't working. I have had the "Download Mode" screen before on the tablet. I think it might be a driver issue because the only time my computer wants to recognize the tablet is when it is on and running.
[G Pad 8.3 General] jpyumul:
I can't complain so far. Better battery, faster browsing/scrolling and finally fixed the annoying random reboots on my pad.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Subtleone:
When you connect to the software in Download mode, go to Options -> Upgrade Recovery, then enter LG-V500 as model and your serial no. (on the back of your unit probably)
[G Pad 8.3 General] Vitamin_D:
