The phone doesn't support wireless charging natively.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cencored:
Not wireless, but it's got 4 pins at the back and there seems to be a cradle from HTC for it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Ahh yeah ok you mean the pogo pins, I'm following you now. I've never actually seen the cradle.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tlazarus:
My understanding is that HTC shifted the pogo pins on the XL compared to the international X. This means the dock you see around doesn't work for our phone.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flat Erik:
So, I'll lay this out in bullet form to be more organised. I'm using the VZW G3.

1. I rooted my phone with IORoot, everything worked fine

2. Downloaded SuperSU from the Play Store, installed using normal mode.

3. Rebooted

4. Decided with my new fancy root I can install a pretty font, so...

5. I downloaded Fontster from the Play Store. Installed Roboto Light or Thin I forgot. Something then happened, I forgot what, but I restarted my phone as it felt right.

6. It would bring up a popup with a crazy comic-sans font, saying system ui has stopped responding. It made everything impossible to use, only allowing shutting off via holding power button.

7. Having just purchased the phone, I decided to reset via the menu you get when you turn it on by volume down + power. Everything seemed fine other than the phone missing the default font, and just using the comic-y one instead.

8. I decided to root again, and I did, but when I did that the error from #6 shows up.

9. Now, even when I factory reset, the error just keeps happening making the phone impossible to use.

How can I fix this phone is resetting doesn't work? I'm not very savvy with these things, but with a well written guide I'm usually good.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
I have seen so many people reporting this crash after messing with fonts over the last 24 hours.

I believe its because changing fonts deleted/removed/other the stock fonts on the device and then the whole thing decides to crash on you - probably due to the way the particular app you were using to change fonts decided to do it.

Your options are to use LG PC Suite, or "Flashtool 2014" to flash a KDZ file.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] le3ky:
I had this yesterday. Fonster was the issue. Factory reset didn't help, nor did adding the affected fonts back to system/fonts.

In the end I followed [MENTION=2315688]Lennyuk[/MENTION]'s thread to use LG PC suite to restore the rom, worked a treat.

Hello friends

Have a question

I am using s5 sm g900h indian variant

I am on indian rom right now but i want to try latest 4.4.2 which is in indonesia so can i flash indonesian rom on my variant or should i wait for my update
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masum56k:
No, you can't do that. This will brick your phone..

Wait for your regional update..
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
You should probably wait for an update from your carrier.

Flashing the actual Indonesian ROM as you proposed is problematic. It can be done, provided that the ROM is intended for the same model of phone i.e. 900H. To do it properly, you need to also flash the proper PIT file at the same time to guard against possible partition corruption. So if your phone is e.g. a 16 GB 900H, you need to use a PIT file from a 16 GB 900H that already has firmware installed from the Indonesian carrier. If you flash without the appropriate PIT file, you may well brick your phone as the poster above cited.

Another possibility is changing your CSC to another local carrier that is already rolling out the OTA update. That would likely be compatible but no one will guarantee it as that specific update may depend upon a carrier specific firmware base. Also if you change your CSC from the Android UI, it will insist on wiping your user data, so you'd need to use an app or manually change the CSC code if that matters to you.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharingan:
Okk then

I will wait for my update
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drakester09:
I have cross flashed from different regions without issues.

What issues did you guys have when flashing a different region firmware? It should be good as long as it is for G900H
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
If you had read either of the two posts above yours, you would have found an answer to your question.

Having made a handful of working flashes does not equate to a guarantee that it will work in all situations and cases. You are encouraging people to put their phones at risk. Your statement that it should be good as long as it is for a 900H is demonstrably wrong.

It does not always work. You've merely been lucky so far.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drakester09:
The condescending tone of yours is ill fitted to this conversation.

I read your post, now could you be so kind to actually read mine?

Can you please share some cases where this has happened?

Where it has been stated and proven that CSC differences can risk your phone?

If so then the CSC changer app is a risk and should be removed, but it isn't.

We are not talking about variants, of course T/L/S/F are not the same despite haviing Snapdragon and you might break something when cross flashing, basebands are different, etc etc.

All G900Hs are equal. The software that was built for one G900H will work in another.

The carrier/regional customizations COULD cause issues if there's a certain incompatibility between app data, but they are easily fixed by a wipe.

For once the PIT argument is useless, Odin pulls the current PIT from your phone to map partitions.

In old days the update was not as seamless and you might be forced to use a PIT file. That's not the case for current releases.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Uh huh. You give no rationale for encouraging people to do something very risky. One doesn't have to search very far in the forum to find people that have bricked phones doing what you suggest. Your last post at last offers an elaboration in which we find you relying upon several factual errors. Leaving me no choice but to disagree with you about about who is being condescending.

Firmware is installed as a set of partitioned images. In particular hidden.img contains carrier specific items in a partition that is known to vary in size amongst some carriers. There are numerable and repeatable cases of people flashing firmware from another carrier bricking their phones.

As you say, if you provide no explicit PIT file, Odin will map the partitions by drawing the current PIT from your phone. And that is exactly what corrupts partitions if the new firmware expects a larger partition for hidden.img. The existing PIT is not accurate for a new firmware image that requires a larger partition. And not surprisingly, corrupt partitions can amount to a bricked phone.

Anyone following your advice is playing Russian roulette with their phone. Sometimes it will work. And sometimes your advice will brick their phone.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
I crossflashed numerous factory roms with Odin on my S/S2/S3/S4/S5 and Note/2/3 from various (European) country`s and never had a issue with pit files ans csc files to be honest. Can`t imagine beeing luky like that all the time every time.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
That you cannot imagine it does not make it any less true. To argue so is a non sequitur, a formal error of logic or logical fallacy referred to as an Appeal to Probability.

Instead of trying to convince us that there is no risk because the particular carrier's you have flashed worked, address the facts. Show a factual error in the thesis e.g. that hidden partition must be an invariant size, that partitions can be overwritten with impunity or why firmware corruption cannot brick a phone.

Constructive arguments based on facts and structured reasoning would be welcome. If you can demonstrate that this information is incorrect and provide a better explanation, great. Unsupported statements that you don't think that it is, not so much.

If you wish to defend an unsupported assertion that it doesn't make sense to you, then you are welcome to have the last word and readers can draw their own conclusions. Given the notable lack of a fact based discussion in this thread, it isn't constructive to pursue it further.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Lets agree to disagree. Imo you don`t have to flash a pit file if you flash a compatible rom for your model with the same partition layout (16 or 32GB) everytime you flash a stock rom.

PS saw earlier posts by you and i want to point out none of my my advices/posts ever lead to a bricked device ;)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drakester09:
I'm sorry to be a bother but could you please share any case where the mentioned situation has happened?

There must be at least one or several.

I'm all in for factual data so I'd love to see real scenarios where this has happened. It will take you much less time than to post such a long winded post and will prove your point.

FINALY GOT MY BLUETOOTH HEADSET WORKING, GREATS !!!

thank you
[Verizon LG G3] samg77:
Only thing I did when I got the phone was

Very first thing I did was add my google account

I turned ART on and rebooted

Installed Titanium backup

Attempted to restore my apps from my former phone.

During this whole process I had 3 hard lockups and about 6 reboots. (I spent the day trying to get my phone setup)

After 5 hours of hating the G3, I figured it had to be ART.

So I factory reset my phone and repeated all of the above EXCEPT for enabling ART, and did not get a single lockup or reboot.

Anyone else have problem with ART. I really want to use it, Android L everyone will, but I have it on my HTC one m8 and man does help with battery.

Let me know others who have tried this...

Anyone have any thoughts on the matter...
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
I'm going to be completely honest. I had A LOT of problems when I enabled ART which is weird, because I had it on my m8, g2 and nexus 7 and never had problems, but on my g3 i had Random powering off, constant freezes, force closes and incredible battery drain. I did a factory reset and kept everything on dalvik and everything works great.
[Verizon LG G3] samg77:
Yep, sucks! Having a clear understanding of how ART works, I really want it, when implemented correctly your battery lasts much longer, and programs load quicker. A shame LG didn't spend any time testing their implementation of it. There are only a couple phones that support this, you would think LG would test, i bet LG didn't bother making sure their own software was compatible. Like turning ART on, on a ROM that doesn't support it. So this pretty much confirms that the LG G3 stock rom does not support ART.

Another reason I can't wait for a bootloader unlock or loki. I know the developer community will be able to get it right. LG did such a bad job it makes me wonder if they're developer team even heard of ART, it looks like they just grabbed the lastest version of KitKat which has ART in there, and they didn't bother doing anything at all to their ROM to coincide.
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
I spoke with my friend who just got it and he confirmed similar problems on art.
[Verizon LG G3] Avohkah Tamer:
Can confirm, spent 3 or so hours troubleshooting the problems (which I thought were due to an accidental system app restore via Titanium Backup), but it turned out to be ART.

It also might have been the reason for some issues I ran into with downloading/installing apps and updates from the Play Store (usually just taking an extremely long time to install, occasionally freezing and automatically rebooting, occasionally giving an error code), though I can't be 100% sure ART was the cause.

Whatever the case, seems to be stable now on Dalvik. I wonder what's causing the issues on our phones, the other carrier versions reportedly work fine on ART...
[Verizon LG G3] viskey:
i noticed a few of you have said a factory reset back to dalvik. Does it still lock up if you just switch it back in Developer Settings and reboot? Id rather not factory reset after i have my phone set up now. Thanks!
[Verizon LG G3] youngpettyboi:
I've been on ART with no issues yet. Maybe I'm a fortunate one. It converted 249 apps, took around 20 mins to do so... But once it did, I had a little stuttering issues. Once the apps settled in, I've been smooth sailing.
[Verizon LG G3] kpantz:
I had 4-5 lockups (deep sleep / coma / battery pull) yesterday after flipping over to ART. Last night I did a factory reset and left things w/ Dalvik. No problems yet. Really glad to hear it isn't just me!
[Verizon LG G3] Avohkah Tamer:
Switching it and rebooting should work in most cases, although if you still get lockups and crashes or issues downloading Play Store apps, then I'd do a factory reset too.
[Verizon LG G3] viskey:
Ok, thanks!
[Verizon LG G3] Nastrodamous:
when i switched to art I got some massive battery drain, factory restored and it went away. Gonna stick with dalvik for now, until i can figure out what is causing the problem.
[Verizon LG G3] mediumraresteak:
I thought my unit was faulty when I switched to ART cause I had random shut downs and high battery drain. It seems though that the G3 (VZW) is not ready for it yet until a firmware update.
[Verizon LG G3] cdd543:
I enabled it, but it was a disaster making the thing way more laggy than before--brutally slow with apps crashing.
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
It's clear we all had similar problems with ART and dalvik is the best option.
[Verizon LG G3] jtorrence3:
I experienced much the same thing.I've pretty much been on ART since I got the phone. I was having a lot of lockups like the rest of you. Last night I factory reset then enabled art again. It seemed ok last night, but this morning it was rough again. Eventually Google play stayed upgrading a bunch of apps. There were some issues while the updates were happening, but when all the updates were nearly done the My Verizon app "unfortunately" closed. Since then it's been golden.

I'm at 40% battery left after 10 hours on battery, 2.5 hours screen on time. Not quite what I was hoping for but much much better than I had yesterday.
[Verizon LG G3] hoola20055:
I guess I'm a lucky one. Over 250 apps optimized and no issue or reboot. Yet.... In fact I've no issues at all. Worth reboots,heat,wat not..
[Verizon LG G3] Krusej23:
I switched over to ART but it was shutting down anytime I would have it locked for more than 5 minutes. Then i would have to pull the battery because it wouldn't turn back on. Now I'm back to davlick for now.
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
Same thing happened to me.

---------- Post added at 05:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:29 AM ----------

I'm at 65% after 10 hrs & 3.5 hrs of on screen time on dalvik. No issues at all.
[Verizon LG G3] Badouken:
I wont even bother with ART once I get my G3, I never found the difference to be all that noticeable, but I noticed a huge difference on Android L, just wait for the Android L update to the G3 and itll be fully optimized.
[Verizon LG G3] IndianaBond:
Agreed.
[Verizon LG G3] jtorrence3:
Thanks for the info. Perhaps I'll switch back to dalvik.

I've never got the great battery life in any phone I've had compared to some of the great numbers I see on xda, regardless of what I tweak. I'm guessing it's the area I live in, Buffalo north towns. I think the area's notorious for lagging behind other cities in coverage. I use the term city loosely in regards to buffalo.
[Verizon LG G3] hummer645:
Same Issues With ART

I had the same issues with ART, which sucks as I have also enjoyed using it in other phones. I noticed that when in ART my phone was constantly connecting to mobile data even when I was in WiFi. I'm guessing there are some issues with the Verizon radios. This will have to get fixed though as L will require using ART. Hopefully we see an update to 4.4.4 and a fix for this at the same time. I'm not holding my breath though as Verizon takes forever to approve updates.
[Verizon LG G3] scy1192:
Casting the screen to a Chromecast doesn't work at all with ART. Get a Google Play services crash.
[Verizon LG G3] japhule:
Glad it wasn't just me. Had several lockups, freezes, crashes and battery pulls. Had turned on ART immediately after I got phone. Will be reverting back to dalvic for the time being.
[Verizon LG G3] J.Guido85:
I live in Tonawanda lol we aren't too far apart haha.
[Verizon LG G3] tehpud:
I posted a few times in other threads about this.

I did the same. The first thing I did was the same as OP. Turn on ART, root, titanium etc. I had nothing but problems. Battery life tanked, deep freeze lockups, battery pull required freezes etc.

Once I reverted back to Dalvik - everything went to normal and better. My battery life has shot up, no lag in most points, and no lockups. My advice is the same as already provided - don't jump into ART unless you really believe that the juice is worth the squeeze there. I would wait until Android L. The difference is minor if you just change the animation scale/effects to .5 instead of 1.

Best of luck.
[Verizon LG G3] jtorrence3:
lol that's great. I'm over in East Amherst. Switched to Dalvik last night before plugging in to charge. Battery seems good so far, but I haven't used the phone much today. We'll see!
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
Not to be a conspirator, but I wonder what Google's point in ART really is? The improvements that are touted are milliseconds and depending on the apps, battery life can actually be hurt. The only absolute is losing 25% more storage and ART needs about 2GB of storage floor where Dalvik needs about 1GB (for the most stability).

The total cost appears to be a net negative. Factor in upper data outlying statements like 36% battery improvement for L, which were under very tight controlled conditions for apps and hardware and seems some not to add up. Kind of shows how clueless some of the media are to parrot "36%" when anyone with any appreciation for electronics battery use weight will get that is a pie in the sky value. This does not even factor in actual type of use.
[Verizon LG G3] scottysize:
I don't know if you need my 2 cents now or not, but ART completely hosed my phone. Battery life was horrendous. It was laggy and froze a lot.
[Verizon LG G3] Smithfolk4:
ART and Freeze Ups

With ART enabled the phone would freeze up and eventually get stuck on the Verizon red screen of death. It was pretty random, but probably averaged once an hour. Phone was also slow and got hot. Seemed to have poor battery performance too, but I went back to Dalvik pretty quickly. Since then I haven't had any issues. Phone works fine. Battery life is good. No more heating up. Etc.
[Verizon LG G3] johnciaccio:
I have used ART on and off several phones and tablets. I have learned that ART runs very stable on AOSP roms but you are lucky if you even have the option to turn it on any rom that is NOT AOSP.

Most will not have it available due to custom kernels and bloatware that may not be very stable to begin with.
