hello all

just curious... i have a copy of the LP modem for the d852... however i am running cm12.1, there shouldnt be any issues flashing that radio and it messing with Cm12.1, correct?

Please let me know if I am wrong here.... but as far as I am aware, a modem is a modem, regardless of the OS...?

EDIT:

ok went ahead and flashed it... t flashed fine, then threw a red unable to mount /system.... gave me a scare... but it booted up fine... i hope there arent any future issues with that
[G3 General] Devhux:
Anyone have the files to revert back to stock for a Koodo/Telus G3?

Also, are all the Canadian Lollipop modems the same?
[G3 General] kjwaugh:
Your Mileage will vary...

I believe they are mostly the same to judge by everyone's reports. I have no expertise in the details but all Canadian providers are co-operating with their inter-operability so that Roaming works. My experience has been that the d852 Rom I installed works for me on MTS but it is a Rogers branded Rom. Further, MTS offers Rogers branded technical pdfs for downloading from the MTS support website- indicating to me that they just jumped on the Rogers bandwagon for all their material not bothering to rebrand the same stuff. Now I am certainly going out on a limb to generalize about other providers but here in Canada there is less competition and more cooperation with hardware and network standards than in the US. So the answer to the question about Canadian LP modems seem likely that they are all the same (probably generic) - or close enough to not be incompatible.
[G3 General] SickBeast:
Guys I hope you have all done the ctt mod and set your cpu governor to conservative. It gave me 50 percent more performance.
[G3 General] Devhux:
The baseband was the same between Koodo & Bell roms at least (compared it to my brother's G3).

Koodo also released an update yesterday that fixed the WiFi saved passwords bug and offered some stuff for "phone enhancement" (whatever that is). Unfortunately, I'll have to unroot his device to fully see how well it works as I couldn't install the update

koodo

Hi I bought my LG G3 2 months ago

because of the WiFi pass dropping issue one of the suggestions was to Root it , i did rooting but yesterday Koodo released a new update which seems that solved everything

so i decided to unroot it I couldn't unroot it so i decided to put the stock frameware on it but there are just BELL & ROGERS stock frameware on internet , I was wondering if there is any solution to fix and solve this issue

Please advise
[G3 General] acadiancrusader:
Hello everybody. I have the Fido variant of the phone that I bought months ago. It came installed with KK. I rooted the device and installed TWRP. I played around with a few different roms with ease. I made the mistake of not unrooting the device when i attempted to install the official lollipop update.

It severely messed up my phone. I tried my backup. That didn't work either. I wiped the phone in TWRP.

I gave up on it and went back to using my old Nexus 4. But now that's been physically broken.

So I'm lost. I don't know how to get a rom, official or custom, working. It's not completely dead as it will boot into TWRP. But nothing else will work.

I'd be greatful for any help or direction that any of you could provide.

thanks for your time.

[G3 General] _N3XU5_:
Hey everyone has anyone experienced the body cracking on their LG G3? I noticed that I had the issue and I attempted to go to Rogers to have them repair under warranty as I've had it less than 1 year. They thought I was crazy and claimed I dropped even though I showed them the many cases that appear with a quick google search. Also my phone is a victim to the AUX cord issue also mentioned that and Rogers claim that dust got in and they don't cover it. I contacted LG about both issues that seem pretty wide spread and no one seems to know what I'm talking about.

Anyone else with any of these experiences? If so, how'd u get it rectified?
[G3 General] Devhux:
Download the LG PC Suite software on your computer and you should be able to download the latest update from there.

Note however, that once you do, you won't be able to re-root the phone as the current rooting methods don't work on this latest update.
[G3 General] bobola:
My G3 just got the crack on the mic issue.

Wondering if there anyone here have that issue and did warranty in Canada.

Thanks
[G3 General] Arxidon:
Root

I just got the G3 on Koodo and stupidly installed the latest OTA that fixed the WiFi bug. Now I'm unable to root the device. I can't seem to find any Koodo roms. Is it safe to flash a Rogers/Bell firmware with the KDZ/TOT method so I can root and install TWRP?

Thanks
[G3 General] elmspace:
I have flashed the Bell firmware on Rogers phone and everything works fine. I think as long as the model is correct (D852) it should e ok. But do a little more research before you do. Just I thought I would let you know that Rogers with on Bell and Bell on Rogers. Good luck.

Anyone managed to get the ls990 g3 working with wind ?
[G3 General] SickBeast:
Have any of you guys received the 20i update?
[G3 General] TheIgster:
With Rogers. Shows 20c from what I can tell. Long ways from 20i.
[G3 General] SickBeast:
I'm pretty sure it's actually 21y. There is a new debloated stock rom available that I'm tempted to try. It's based on 20p.
[G3 General] TheIgster:
Yup. You're right. My bad, I was reading from the wrong column.
[G3 General] SickBeast:
That's the thing, I'm not sure. People said 20p was the newest but it's android 5.0 whereas our "20c" or 21y is android 5.0.1.
[G3 General] TheIgster:
So does anyone think Rogers will release anything other than the current 5.0.1? I have a feeling we've seen the last of the updates for the G3 from Rogers. If that's the case, then I need to load a ROM I guess if I want to get newer versions of Android on this thing. I just signed a 2 year contract about a month ago, so I've got this phone for at least another year and a half.
[G3 General] SickBeast:
I don't see the big deal personally. We know that the G3 will be getting 5.1 and probably android m as well. Why do you want the Rogers bloat? You can install it yourself anyway. Just get a stock rom like cloudy, it works perfectly and is better than stock anyway. It doesn't void your warranty either because you don't even have to unlock the bootloader. I find that you are very negative about this phone and the updates for no good reason. Maybe you should go with Apple or a Nexus for your next phone. The G3 was the first phone with lollipop, please give it a rest already.
[G3 General] Cuzz1369:
How many flagship phones out there have 5.1.1? Besides a nexus you are SOL
[G3 General] TheIgster:
Not being negative about the phone at all. Negative about updates from Rogers, perhaps. I prefer OTA updates. Never been a big fan of rooting and loading things on my phone. I can't just "load cloudy". There's a lot more to it than that. Besides, I don't have any issues with the phone as it stands other than the vibration being too low. I see a number of bugs and a camera that isn't working as good as stock with Cloudy right now. Why would I want to wipe my phone, root it and load a ROM with bugs and a camera that is not as good?

I come to XDA for information. I'm neither a developer nor someone who loads ROMS at this point. My post was simply asking if anyone thought Rogers would release more updates for this phone in the Canadian thread, so quite on topic. Thanks for your opinion though. Not really interested.
[G3 General] SickBeast:
Well, as I have told you before, there is a one click root method that takes maybe 2 minutes. You enable USB debugging, hook your phone up to the computer, run the batch file, and you're done. Then you can install Autorec from the play store and it installs TWRP for you. Then download cloudy, do your backup and wipes, install, and you're done. I'm telling you, Cloudy is much better. It's based on the newest build that LG has released for the phone. I actually find the "G4" camera in Cloudy 2.3 better than the stock G3 camera. It opens up much faster. The manual modes don't work, but I just don't use them. You can also flash the G3 camera if you prefer it, or just use Xcam which is better anyway (it can even shoot in RAW mode if you buy the paid version).

The only other "bug" with the latest cloudy is the lockscreen weather animation which we don't even have on the Rogers stock rom to begin with so I don't even care.

I understand your frustration with the carriers not releasing updates but really it's premature to point the finger at Rogers at this point as no one has 5.1 yet. I personally think they will release it, I see no reason why they would not.

By the way, you are leaving 50% more performance on the table by not rooting your G3. Don't believe me? Run geekbench. I get 1000 single core and over 3000 multi core. You will probably get around 2200 on the multi core score with your stock rom. The CTT mod and switching the CPU governor to conservative gives you way more performance and gets rid of any lag.
[G3 General] TheIgster:
Thanks for the information. It's quite helpful if I decide to go that way. Do I lose information if I root? Just rooting, not loading a ROM.

Lots of reports in the thread as to various bugs including the camera not being good at all. Yes, I can flash other cameras but that's not the point. I wouldn't even know where to get some of these files to flash.

Lockscreen weather effects ARE on the Rogers stock rom. I've seen it rain. Really though, not a big deal if it's there or not.

My question though was asking if Rogers would send out updates in other users opinion here. That's it. I know Rogers doesn't have 5.1 yet. I was just curious who thought they might even release it. That's it.
[G3 General] SickBeast:
You're welcome.

You don't lose any information if you root the phone and install TWRP, however keep in mind that you will no longer be able to install OTA updates in the event that you want to update to 5.1 and Rogers releases it. If you wanted to do that you would have to flash the phone back to the stock Rogers rom and completely wipe everything.

Most if not all of the bug reports for Cloudy are bogus and are just people not knowing what they are doing. It's a stock rom, most if not all of the bugs they are finding probably exist with Rogers stock rom.

Anyhow, it's up to you. I know it's intimidating if you've never rooted a phone before and installed a custom rom. With the G3 though the process is easier than with any other phone I have dealt with.

For you it might be better to just wait it out a bit for 5.1 and then root it if you want to try. I'm 99% sure that Rogers will release it. Fido is still selling the G3 like hotcakes, I don't think they would leave all their customers out high and dry like that.
[G3 General] TheIgster:
I was going to wait for Cloudy to release 5.1. I know that when you root, OTA updates don't happen anymore, but I just don't see Rogers releasing it anytime soon anyway. I would be really surprised if they release another update. They've moved on now and I've seen it before that regardless of how many customers have the phone, they only worry about the newer phones. Wish we could get OTA updates from the manufacturer.

I've rooted phones before and loaded ROM's. I was just trying to stay stock this time without doing anything. Heck, I had the first Galaxy Captivate from Samsung and rooted that and loaded ROM's. Kind of had to because stock was so bad on that thing. :D

I also had a Nexus 5 before this G3 and enjoyed the updates, but just found the stock Android experience boring. LG has done some nice things with their UI and I love the knock code feature as well as the awesome camera compared to the Nexus 5.

Might just root this thing tomorrow and then maybe try Cloudy's rom. Seems like a solid ROM overall and he is updating it a lot.
[G3 General] SickBeast:
There were some rumors that 5.1 is imminent for the G3. Just rumors though, nothing concrete.
[G3 General] TheIgster:
Oh? OK. Maybe I'll hold off for a few weeks. Imminent from Canadian carriers or just to be released at all?
[G3 General] SickBeast:
Just to be released at all. It seems like speculation though, LG is being really quiet about it.
[G3 General] TheIgster:
Thanks. Think I might root and then wait and see. I'm hoping Cloudy will update the new rom to 5.1 when it's out. I don't see why he wouldn't.

Edit: Thanks for your help SickBeast. G3 now rooted, installed Autorec and flashed TWRP. Couldn't have been any easier. Now to install Adaway :D
[G3 General] SickBeast:
You're welcome. :)

I'm sure that cloudy will give us 5.1. There are also several stable AOSP roms that are 5.1. Don't forget to install the CTT mod and set your cpu governor to conservative.
[G3 General] TheIgster:
Hmmm...Can you help with that CTT mod? Not sure what you mean.

I flashed the zip from here for 80c but I don't see anything about conservative.

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/thermal-mod-t2907363

I really want a stock rom so I'll hang on for a bit I think.

Autorec for TWRP on the Play store?

Any recommendations on a good rom that works with our Canadian variant?
[G3 General] SickBeast:
Use trickster to change the CPU governor to conservative.
[G3 General] TheIgster:
Well, I wasn't quite sure if I flashed the right thing, so I flashed back to stock also posted in that thread, Also, is Trickster just here on XDA or in the Play Store. What am I hoping to achieve with both of these things anyway? My phone doesn't overheat.
[G3 General] SickBeast:
Trickster is in the play store. The reason why you are doing this is because the stock thermal throttling of the phone is too aggressive and it really holds back performance. Also, the default interactive governor is bugged. You need to use conservative.

Have any of you guys tried cloudy 2.3 on the d852? I'm having a strange battery drain issue:

https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/320xq90/r/661/8ZXMIH.png
[G3 General] TheIgster:
Thanks. CTT mod installed again, busybox installed (Trickster told me it needed it - not sure what it's for though) and went into Trickster and found the setting for conservative. Not sure what else to do in there, but set that one setting. Anything else I need to know about Trickster or set?

Thanks very much for all your help. I'm sure I'm not the only one you are helping by posting this stuff.
[G3 General] SickBeast:
You're welcome. :)

That's all you have to do in trickster but make sure that you set it so that it applies the kernel settings at boot. It's at the top right in the settings icon.
[G3 General] TheIgster:
Didn't have that setting on by default. Just the notification setting (not sure what that is for exactly). Set the kernel setting at boot now. Thanks again.

Just installed Volume Booster which is nice to have as well. This root thing has proven to be quite useful. :)
[G3 General] SickBeast:
Greenify is really good as well. You don't need the notification setting checked in trickster, it just gives you a message at startup to let you know that it's working. I leave it unchecked.
[G3 General] TheIgster:
Yeah, I tried Greenify but I find apps like that tend to disable too many things and turn a smartphone into a dumbphone. I'll never understand disabling syncing or bluetooth. I want my phone to notify me when I have a new email or some other notification immediately, not during some scheduled sync. I use BT all the time as well and want it on always. Battery life is pretty good after I disabled location history as well as putting location on battery saving mode.

Am I missing something with Greenify though? Seems that's all it does is disable things like that.
[G3 General] SickBeast:
Greenify prevents battery hogging apps from running in the background. I use wakelock detector to find the culprits and then I greenify them.
[G3 General] kjwaugh:
I use straight CM12 with it's regular updates. Plain and simple and working. Less fuss and fewer things to go wrong. Not that there aren't other options out there - lots to choose from. Make your thorough backup before you do anything, make sure you flash the correct type (d852). Working FINE on good ol MTS.

Just rooted myself from Lollipop with one click root. No problems at all. I don't see any need to go back to KK to root. Also, yes, Autorec. Installed TWRP no problem for me after rooting. Quick and easy to root and get TWRP installed.

Guys cm12.1 is excellent with the 777 kernel. Very fast with excellent battery life.
[G3 General] TheIgster:
Sure, but some of us want stock camera as well as stock features like smart cards and knock code, etc.
[G3 General] Ariesdroid:
Hit Ground Zero ROMs community on google + ...Try Validus or Tesla. Validus is cm based with tons of features and Tesla is Slim based with lots of features....both have great battery life stability and performance.... Flashing the aosp moto cam gives you 4k video and android wear support as well near stock quality photos ....

Staying on stock for knock? wooow. lol
[G3 General] TheIgster:
Kind of a matter of choice and what some prefer don't you think?

Just because you don't think something is important, doesn't make it so.

One of the best features of this phone is a knock code that eliminates the need for a pattern or pin or password. Easily locked and unlocked. So wooow yourself. Thanks.
[G3 General] TKG26:
Knock is pretty important to me. With the power button on the back side. It's nice to wake up the phone with a knock to discreetly check your messages.
[G3 General] Ariesdroid:
where did i say it wasn't a choice? Hahaha.... Aosp offers swipe, pin, password etc....I use double tap to wake.....and no security....I have never put a password or lock on my phone ever in 8 or 9 years......I have however used my g3 on many a custom ROM and stock kk and Lollipop and i can't go back to stock after how great the phone runs on aosp compared to stock....its no contest...
[G3 General] TheIgster:
Meh, you just made it sound like it was silly to stay on stock for knock codes. Again, you don't use security. I have to at work. My phone is always secure at work and anywhere else and home is a trusted site.
[G3 General] SickBeast:
Wow the htc m9 camera is amazing on cm12.1. It's as good as stock! You can record in 4k as well.

Have any of you tried the Gabriel kernel yet? I'm giving it a go with Cloudy 2.3 right now. I want to see if it fixes the high CPU usage that I was having which was causing a massive battery drain. If not I will go back to CM 12.1.

Anyone know a stock based rom that doesn't have Bluetooth dropout issues?
[G3 General] Awjval:
Just asking for the sake of clarity (there is a lot of conflicting info on this subject):

if I purchase a LG G3 from Bell/Virgin, does it support Qi wireless charging? Out of the box, or with a case?

What is the best option for a Qi back cover?
[G3 General] Devhux:
You will need the QuickCircle case that supports wireless charging (there's two versions; one of which doesn't support it).

Verified this with my Koodo G3 - after I bought the case that didn't have Qi charging). It will clearly say on the packaging if it supports wireless charging
[G3 General] balatrocdn:
If it helps, my G3 is a Bell unit and it does NOT support Qi... Only PMA and it was a pain to find the items. From sites I read the Canadian carriers followed the AT&T idea.

Aliexpress carried cases, replacement backs, and stickers. However the charging bases were more difficult.

I ended up finding a dual base model at Factory Direct here in Ontario for $20.

If you need more details, I can dig them up for you.

And don't get me started on cases that allow for PMA charging.... Few and far between.

Good luck!
[G3 General] B@je:
Can you send me the link to the charging base and stickers I also have the bell g3. I just gave up after awhile because of the difficulty finding the components needed for the pma stuff.
[G3 General] squall458:
What did you buy at Factory Direct? Very interested in the model you bought for the charging pad.
[G3 General] balatrocdn:
Links to PMA options

Here you go. I cannot post links yet so just copy and paste. I decided on the Galaxy S3 option since the 1850mah battery that comes with it has a micro usb port which could be used to power the phone in low state.

As for the stickers are cases, here are the Aliexpress ones.

Just note as I said in my original post, cases with this charging tech is a pain in the butt. I have tried 3 cases with the last being the Spigen Slim Armour. It is hit and miss with charging. It really works best with direct contact between outside of phone and charger. Another option from Aliexpress may be the flip case found here:
