The window cases are fine, I just add t wish they didn't cover up the light sensor. Makes the quick circle window pointless with auto brightness on low settings.

Ok guys to anyone that is unable to root v10e - v10g. I had to downgrade first to v10a rooted my fone using towelroot and then update via the fone OTA and it keeps root.

Sent from my LG-D855 v10g-xxx rooted using towelroot
[G3 General] ChrisM75:
Did a little screen calibration on my new G3 today. It helps a little with the over-sharpening, but its mainly for colours. Your phone my be very different to mine of course.

I use Trickster MOD from the play store, but you need to be rooted. I don't have my colorimeter on me at the moment, but I did it by eye comparing with my calibrated G2.

Basically my G3 is WAY to green, a little to red and needed a tiny bit less blue to balance it out.

In the screen tab is set my G3 to..

RED:246

GREEN:238

BLUE: 252

This was about right for my screen, but the phone is brand new today, so it might change a little in the first few weeks. Its a D855, unlocked, and yeah, there is over-sharpening on the latest software version 10g.
[G3 General] DeathRoll666:
Any news when will the update be avaliable for Three UK customers?
[G3 General] jah:
Please be aware that some eBay sellers are selling Asian D855 32gb model and these don't all work on UK LTE networks. These have the right radios but the LTE option may not appear on the mobile network type selection. You can temporarily enable registration to a LTE network by using the magic menu by using code 3845#*855#
[G3 General] ant78:
Anyones guess by the looks of it as we are still stuck on 10a!
[G3 General] tichyb:
Yeap I have, I got my v10g update yesterday I'm on Vodafone network
[G3 General] SamDH1:
I have the G update too, came on Thursday, UK unbranded, and two mates got their updates on Thursday too. I'm T-Mobile (EE), tgeyvare EE.

Has anyone had any luck with a qi charger? I'm looking to get a new one as the one I have doesn't work with the G3, and I don't want to get the official one as it looks pretty gross
[G3 General] ant78:
Ive had 3 different qi chargers now and all of them didn't like my G3 but loved my Nokia 930 :(

Can i download and flash this, LG D855 Phone Firmware D85510A_00 UNITED_KINGDOM 16G Edition on my branded 3UK phone so i can receive OTA updates more quickly? :confused:
[G3 General] daleski75:
3 have yet to update their firmware and I have even tweeted them asking them what's going on and so far no response.

It's a good thing you can flash other regions that's all I can say.
[G3 General] shingers5:
Yea there can be significant delays when its up to the carrier to roll out the update. As your handset was got from 3uk you will have to wait for them to roll it out. They would have had it from LG but 3uk mess with things before releasing like changing bootsplash and adding a few of their own apps to system partition
[G3 General] daleski75:
o2 and vodafone seem to be doing ok for the roll-out guess 3 are tinkering a bit more than others.
[G3 General] phillevy:
Indeed - I've been on version f from O2 for a while now.
[G3 General] ant78:
I have just flashed this to take me back to stock,

LG D855 Phone Firmware D85510A_00 UNITED_KINGDOM 16G Edition

http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downlo...D85510A_00.kdz

Flashed correctly and restated as new. Checked the software version and was running 10a. I went to the update centre to download the latest OTA but it says 10a is the latest available?? I was on 3UK stock but fancied getting the OTA earlier. Why wont it update?
[G3 General] shingers5:
your phone serial is still linked to 3uk not generic............like htc where you htc_001 etc which tells the update server version of device you have. you will have to wait for 3uk to roll out as changing to generic doesn't alter serial.
[G3 General] labpedro:
Of course, three may be aware of the many firmware releases and lack of fixing things so are holding back until there is a definitive answer as to what's been fixed or if it actually fixes things....maybe. anyway, I was stuck on 10a until I sent the phone back for repair this morning
[G3 General] denny1970:
I'm waiting for this to come! Would this be want your looking for?
[G3 General] shadders:
That looks like a nice case, but personally I'm not a big fan of the quick circle cases- I find that having a big hole on the front of the cover kind of defeats the point of having a front cover (since that area will be prone to scratches and is completely unprotected). I also like the case to have a magnetic clip so that the front cover isn't always flapping about. But maybe I'm just fussy :o I guess it's all just down to personal preference!
[G3 General] sabret00the:
Anyone else getting a crackling sound when on calls?
[G3 General] mikesoccer25:
Does the stock d855 cover has qi charging? I see it has 4 pins...or its just the nfc? Tnx

LG G3 D855 stock ,no root
[G3 General] SamDH1:
Yep, it's QI and NFC ready! But most QI charging docks don't like to play friendly with it from what I have found...
[G3 General] Spewy1:
i agree, I have bought two qi charges and neither work with my G3. Can anyone recommend one that does work apart from the official version which costs a fortune.

Thanks
[G3 General] jhericurls:
Are you using a charger that is at least 1.8amps?
[G3 General] stinkypoo:
It can be had for £27 mate now on fleabay or £24 on amazon
[G3 General] shadders:
that's still very expensive considering that you can get unbranded wireless chargers for £4 on ebay
[G3 General] stinkypoo:
Yep I know but it was £60 a few weeks ago the cheap ones are hard work IMO
[G3 General] Spewy1:
Seems I wasn't (I was using my kindle charger)

Just tried with my LG charger and works perfectly.

Many thanks! ?
[G3 General] trickie69r:
I have the RavPower RP-WCN11 and works great without a case and slow charge with a casemate tough case on.
[G3 General] SamDH1:
Well that gets extra points for just looking the rad shizznit too! :D And cheap! Cheers dude, I've been looking for a nice new one since I got the G3
[G3 General] mikesoccer25:
Im planning to buy the original lg qi charger ...wich qi do u have?

3UK just got 10g update.54mb power optimization
[G3 General] ChrisM75:
They are £4 for a reason, they are cheap junk that dont work.
[G3 General] adamelphick:
I bought a £9 one off eBay and it works just fine even with a gel case on. And pours the G3 at a nice angle.
[G3 General] ClownShoes:
I'm downloading 10g for my 3UK G3 now :D

I'm going to try slapping it straight over the top of Towelroot. Wish me luck.
[G3 General] daleski75:
I downgraded from 10j to 10a (was getting severe battery drain, no wakelocks but something was preventing the phone from going into a deep sleep) and instantly got 10g update on 3 so will give that a go and see how it goes.
[G3 General] ClownShoes:
The OTA update from 3 worked perfectly and left my Towelroot intact. The only thing I have had to do is re-activate Xposed, but other than that business as usual :D
[G3 General] vagabond100:
My 3 OTA Update failed due to the device being rooted....

Repaired using LG PC Suite and now it seems to be updating.

[G3 General] denny1970:

[G3 General] dazkool:
Yup.

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

Anyway - quick question...... what does the 4G signal thing look like on the LG G3??

I assume they are in order:

E

G

H

H+

4G/LTE???

I'm with T-Mob and supposed to be on a 4G sim-free contract, but have never got a 4G signal. Most I ever get is H.
[G3 General] jah:
Check mobile settings to ensure you have selected 3G and lte option. Also search this forum for function of magic menu accessed using 3845#*855#. Also I think only EE offer 4G you have migrate from t-mobile to EE to get 4G.
[G3 General] Jase Winter:
Hi guys,

Just been reading about the issues with 4G on certain EUR firmwares earlier in this thread, my G3 came from o2 and is a non EUR firmware and gets 4G ok (where I can actually get it), the advise to people who have the issue seemed to be to flash a generic non EUR firmware to the phone.

My question is this:

My phone is o2 branded, in that it has the o2 boot splash screen, wallpapers and pre-installed apps, it also means it's gonna be behind on OTA updates it's currently running a 10f firmware and I understand 10g is the latest from LG. Can I flash a generic non branded (non EUR so as not to get the 4G issue) and still receive OTA updates?

Cheers you knowledgable chaps!
[G3 General] radicalisto:
You can yes. I also have an O2 branded handset and I switched to generic without any issues. Plus the carrier still handles the updates due to IMEI attachment apparently.
[G3 General] Jase Winter:
Excellent, one last question then, the firmware I need from here then is the UK 16G D85510A_00.kdz rather than the "Europe common" one then?

Thanks again!
[G3 General] phillevy:
I'm also on O2 and on version f. I was actually impressed how quickly I received this OTA, however version g doesn't seem to be so forthcoming. One reason may be that f already contains the Google security patch(which I've confirmed) - I'm wondering if the benefits of moving from f to g are so minimal that only devices prior to f will get the g OTA.
[G3 General] SamDH1:
That would make sense, I went straight from E to G with T-Mobile/EE, as did my mates, different carriers may be going forward on a separate firmware for unknown reasons relating to that carrier...
[G3 General] D3_:
Same here. Tried unrooting but it hasn't helped. Trying to get LG PC Suite to recognise my phone now.

EDIT: Had to reinstall USB drivers in the LG PC Suite, then it detected my phone fine and now I'm on v10g. BRB rooting again

EDIT (again): Turns out "restore upgrade errors" just did something I don't know and I'm still on v10a. Checking for updates manually says v10a is the latest version for my device, but checking for updates on my phone shows the v10g update :/

EDIT (for the 3rd time): Now doing the OTA update on the phone seems to work, even though I re-rooted using towelroot and installed supersu from the play store again.
[G3 General] labpedro:
typical....my phone breaks and goes back to LG, then three release a firmware update so i cant even apply that :(
[G3 General] Jase Winter:
Well, after flashing the UK 16G D85510A_00.kdz I no longer had the o2 splash on boot but still had all the o2 apps and wallpapers, tried the europe common one too and have the same, any one know where I can get the right generic kdz from? Also, after flashing the europe common kdz, it would download the OTA but would fail to actually update. Not having much luck tonight!

EDIT 1 :

Managed to get the phone to update via the PC suite, now I have a Movistar splash screen, not too sure these kdz files are right.

EDIT 2:

Well, the kdz was definately wrong, got a generic one installed now and there's no o2 bloat.
[G3 General] Jase Winter:
Can any of you that flashed a phone to a generic firmware in the uk please let me know which firmware you used? Thought i had it sussed last night but it seems that after putting my sim back in (had put it in my nexus 5 while i mucked about) its downloaded a load of o2 bloatware and somehow installed a movistar (spanish carrier) boot splash screen.

EDIT:

Just tried again, all goes fine until I put my o2 sim in, then I get a movistar boot screen installed, o2 wallpapers and o2 bloat apps, all the apps can be uninstalled but I still have the splash screen and wallpapers. The whole point of me doing this was to eliminate these things. I tried with the europe common kdz this time. Ay help/ suggestions at this point would be greatly appreciated. Back to my nexus 5 for now until I resolve this.

On I side note I get an error when trying to apply an OTA via the phone error code is 0x1111004, I was rooted when I first tried flashing a different firmware so could that be why? updates can be applied via the pc suite though.

EDIT 2:

I've gone back to the stock o2 image and leaving it at that, OTA is working again on this so i'm sticking as is.
[G3 General] dazkool:
Yeah... looks like I was mis-sold when signed up to my sim-free deal.

I was still on T-Mobile. In the process of transferring across to EE.....
[G3 General] shadders:

Does anyone what we will actually be paying in pounds? I've read some people saying that this will actually cost around £540ish as the banks levy a charge for around 3% is this true? Apparently only way around it is to pay with a post office card as they don't get charged a "non sterling transaction fee".
[G3 General] ukhoughsx:
It's going to vary from bank to bank or card to card as to conversion rates and charges. You would need to check with whom you bank with or card provider I'm afraid.
[G3 General] ziggazee:
Banks always use rubbish conversion rates. As of now my bank said it would cost £508.. But conversion rates change every minute, but no doubt they'll use a crap rate. I just want to know if I'm charged an additional levy for paying in pounds. I've emailed them and still waiting for a reply.
[G3 General] dick8843:
I pre ordered from Amazon.de a few days ago . And there are a lot of reviews flying about now . And I'm having second thoughts . Anyone else ?

I'm coming from a galaxy note 1 so any phone is a major upgrade ;) . But the 2k display seems to suck the life out of the battery and most apps/games don't even have QHD graphics . So we're buying something that's cutting edge effectively . Google aren't announcing a new phone on the 25th if they were I'd be getting there new phone which will be LG too . So I don't know what to do . Hold on a little longer maybe get a note 4 ..
[G3 General] ukhoughsx:
I cancelled my pre-order as there's to many little niggles that bother me and it's a lot of money. Apps that won't run so will the ones I use work? Battery that doesn't really support the screen imo and can the phone handle native res games with the hardware it has. So, I will sit back and see what happens from those early adopters. Trouble is with android handsets there's always something not far away like the Z3 or Samsung Prime where as Apple it's one handset a year and off you go.

I'm sure those that get the phone will love it and enjoy it.
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
The resolution is a non issue, the few apps that have been poorly made and currently won't work will get updates shortly.
[G3 General] ukhoughsx:
It's not when you don't know if the apps I personally use work or not.
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
This is not the first device to face these issues, whenever display technology changes it introduces new resolutions and apps have the same problems. It doesn't take long once released world wide for developers to fix their apps.
[G3 General] ukhoughsx:
I fully expect these issues to be fixed but I would rather things work out of the box (which it might given the time frame)and I'm happy to sit back and wait to see these issues fixed before making that decision to buy or not.
[G3 General] gsw5700:
Really thinking about ordering the 32GB model which is strange for me as I haven't even seen it yet... Most reviews look good, and its superior to the awesome G2, surely a no brainer?
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
The only thing concerning me at the moment is lg have a bad update history, and hands on battery reviews from real users have not sounded too good (even if all website reviews say it's awesome)
[G3 General] rkoforever90:
True. ive wrote an email to LG U.K regarding poor update policy, ofcourse my email is not gonna make LG rethink of their update polict .but this what the reply ive got.

"Thank you for your Email regarding the G3 and our updates.

I understand the frustration when older models aren’t given the major updates, but these updates do sometimes out date the hard ware that was on the original flagship handsets. At the moment we are unsure about what will be released as far as Android are concerned and we do not know when the next update will be.

The updates rely on a few factors and the Networks play a big part in this as well, for example EE has held back KitKat from all its phones for a number of months more than the other networks. These more so than the manufacturers are in control. As the manufacturer we obviously want to provide you with everything you want but at the moment I cant say if the G3 will get all the updates for sure as it relies on a lot more than just the date of release.

Hopefully this helps you a little but obviously I realise it is not a complete answer, but it is all we have at this time.

To reply please click the link for “more questions” at the bottom of the Email by the survey.

I hope my Email has answered your query and assisted you today; I would really appreciate your feedback! Please help us to improve our customer service by completing the short survey after this email."
[G3 General] surfer1000:
Yeah, but the way i see it is this......previous LG's, not really that popular (main stream), so not much emphasis on updates/amount of people moaning about not getting them....New LG G3, now we're talking, the small fish, has now become the big fish, I think lots of sales and lots of unhappy customers if they don't get the updates out!

I for one have been quite a loyal HTC owner, but now I'm due for a new contract, it's this baby I've preordered not the HTC One!

---------- Post added at 08:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

Hey have you never thought that as the battery is removable then it could be replaced with a higher capacity one?
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
This is true! I am waiting for Three to tell me I can pre-order for my upgrade.

I do consider this a bit of a gamble buy, the last time I did a gamble buy it was for the HTC Hero and that turned out to be awesome so here is hoping!

If you find my post useful, a click on the 'thanks' is appreciated.
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
The screen will such the life out of the battery, all screens do ;)

But joking aside, from most of the reviews I have seen this phone handles power excellently providing you do not use the screen for more than one hour continuous use at a time - which most people won't do.

I wonder how long it will take for the 10H-eur-XX to filter through to the UK ? I'm waiting for an OTA since thats been a painless upgrade for me every time so far.
[G3 General] bluebobx:
Same here, and the 4.4.3 upgrade would be nice LG (not needing any features in particular - just curious what .2->.3 would do for me).

Interesting (to me at least) though that the LG updater works fine despite my G3 being towelroot-ed. The Samsung one on my S3 would refuse to do any OTA's because I'd rooted (with chainfire's excellent method).

Only thing I still need to do is spend a couple of minutes looking for a good/easy method to undo that pesky Kitkat "security" block on the SD card. Definitely on my to-do list since storing Titanium phone backups on the phones internal storage is a pretty dumb thing to do imho.
[G3 General] mjb152:
I'm purple rooted and the OTA updates install very easily, I too am impressed with that process after coming from an S3 with the same rooting as you.

with the kitkat issue, do you mean the ability for apps to access the external sd card ? I don't think I have that any more, I also installed exposed and lg g3 tweaks, so maybe they got rid of it ?
[G3 General] bluebobx:
Yep, it's the Kitkat read-only-SD-card issue that's bugging me. The "lg g3 tweaks" you installed - was that P'Toti's "G3 TweaksBox" or something else? If it was TweaksBox then there's no mention of the SD card access being updated, in which case maybe it's exposed that's "fixing"* the SD card.

(* yes, I realise that a lot of folks agree with Jerry Hildenbrand over at Android Central that KitKat's locking out of SD cards is a good thing, hence the quotes around fixing above. PS. I think they're wrong :p)
[G3 General] mjb152:
yes I installed "G3 TweaksBox" , I made a few other changes as well which I can't quite remember. :silly:

I wasn't able to modify files on the sd card with es explorer, which I now can.

whats the best way to see if the kitkat issue has been "fixed" or not, then I'll check.
[G3 General] ant78:
i have purple too but mine wont update as my phone says its rooted and cant carry on with the OTA!
[G3 General] mjb152:
very odd , I'm on a 16gb/2gb I bought from earphone warehouse, so it's not tied to a specific carrier. I was on 10a originally and went straight to 10g with no issues at all. I just re-enabled exposed afterwards.
[G3 General] D0MINO:
My previous phone was an I9000 on a 4.4.4 Mackay ROM and I thought this was as simple as installing SDFIX from the Play Store? I believe there is an Xposed module for it also, which lacks a UI, so you can use either.

Surprised nobody seems to know about this on here after all this time!

BTW I have the EUR 32GB/3GB RAM version I got from HK and it updated to 10g before I rooted it. Since it's not locked to any carrier should it not have updated to 10h?

Is there a way to unroot it without having to flash the stock firmware again? Can I use RootCloak? On which application(s) would I need to activate it on?
