Hi, Many thanks for this, I have just about given up on receiving an OTA update for my unbranded UK 32GB D855.

Just few questions from a LG Noob.

Which version do you recommend I apply?

If it all goes wrong, Can I still factory reset?

Is it possible to apply root to 10f or 10g What is recommended?

Thanks Again.
[G3 General] BioVolt:
I flashed v10e no problems, definite improvement with the laggy default launcher app drawer, feels like an improvement in battery life also, but can't be too certain as it hasn't had many days to settle.

Just after flashing I noticed v10f and then v10g arrive, so haven't tested those.

I rooted v10e with towelroot, but I heard towelroot and ioroot don't work on v10g, however I saw some people saying they rooted v10g with purpledrake. I don't know anything about v10f though.

Don't really know much else about the improvements or additions on all of these versions, but there should be some after all that's why they release later versions to improve, add and to iron out bugs.

Hi Guys, I read a followed the instructions (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708194) on how to root the SGP 521, but no good results so far. I want to root it without unlock the boot loader to be able to do a TA backup. My experience on rooting is almost zero, but did it with my old Samsung Galaxy Note tablet and the Galaxy S2. Now everything is different from back then so I would like to get assistance on how to.

- I did download and installed on Windows 7 Pro the Easy Rooting Toolkit V17 & V18.

- Allowed unknown installation from the SGP 521

- Activated USB debugging on the SGP 521, Developer settings.

- Run the easy root tool and followed and the tool instructions.

- Rebooted the SGP 521 before connecting via USB to the PC.

- Run the Easy root tool, then it connects but nothing happened.

I repeated the above procedures a couple of times, but same result. I would value your help on how to root it appropriately. Thanks in advance!

Could you be more explicit on the "nothing happened" did you had a message from easy root tool? Make sure you have the admin rights when you start Easy root tool.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharpk18:
I run the tool as admin first. But once I followed all required steps and run the tool, it closed it self. Then I run as regular (no admin rights) and followed the required steps. The tool connected the tablet and then stayed with a cursor blinking and doing nothing. I though I could be EMET (Microsoft tool) installed on my PC, so I uninstalled. But after done, nothing changed.

[G3 General] Lennyuk:
"more free ram" is rather deceiving and is not the magic fix most people reading this thread will be looking for all this change will mean is android is far more strict when it comes to killing apps, so in the long run it will keep having to relaunch apps rather than pull it from cache and therefore will take more time to open and more battery, also you may find apps you want to run all the time (persistent apps) will be killed.

[General Questions and Answers] eh33:
Battery is worse than my Maxx hd. Bought phone "factory unlocked" and am getting nowhere near what others are getting in terms of battery life. Some are going 2 days with moderate use and 1-2% drop per hour sitting. I'm getting 14ish hours moderate use and 5% drop per hour.

I get 2/5 reception bars 99% of the time. The battery drains 3% on a 15 minute call... = to 9ish hours overall

One person suggested it is because I am using the Droid Maxx on a band it is not intended for (GSM).

Let me ask this, could bad sim cards do this at all? is it possible to get a bad batch of sim cards in the walmart ST starter kit? It did this when my ATT nano sim was in, and is doing the same on the tmobile nano sim.

Any ideas? I don't know how likely it is that the phone is defective. I also don't know if they are right in syaing the phone was not intended to be used on GSM.

I really wanted this phone to work. Its cheaper than other flagships for starters. Then there is the screen which is really impressive. I just feel continually let down by it though. Its like a bad relationship that you cant let go of and just keep coming back to.

Im not here to rubbish the phone at all... Just feel irritated that you have to root, access secret menus, downgrade to 1080p and rely on a third party launcher to get the buttery goodness im after.

Our friends in the US seem to fare better on the battery front, even after tweaks, mine is erratic and thats being kind. I have to say that battery life does bug me greatly.

It takes some beautiful photos for sure. But the screen colouring does seem to let it down even after tweaking. Its real hot and sunny in London now and outside it doesnt have visibility it should.

I feel like i have been covering up for a cheating partner for the last few weeks hoping for it to all work out.... And am left wanting.....

Cant help but feel LG rushed this a little bit and wonder if a slightly better processor would have helped the battery life.

I have an S5 waiting at home today which im going to test against this. Gonna have a seriously hard choice i feel.......

Went from Nexus 5 to G3 to M8 and now settled on Z2 until a decent 2k phone is released. I sold my Nexus 5 for £250 and bought the G3 for £480 then took that back and got the M8 for £530. To be honest I wish i stayed with my Nexus 5 instead of spending the extra money for the G3 then the others.

Yeah, maybe the Nexus 6 will be good? Who knows. I see Xiaomi released the Mi4 yesterday. Its still using the S801 for a 2k screen which I'm highly dubious of now and I noticed the same frame rate drops as the G3 in the video of it.
[G3 General] skyline23:
It's funny, I came from the S5, which worked for me, but was nothing special. I came from a N3 before, and hated going down to a smaller sized phone.

The G3 fits the bill for me perfectly! I hate overly saturated colors, and the screen has been amazing! The only thing that bothered me was the artificial screen sharpening, but I can live with that.

Battery life has been OK, slightly worse than my S5 (which was amazing)
[G3 General] jjswee:

Coming from a Samsung S3 and I am amazed at both the screen visibility outdoors and the battery life. I am in California where its rare for me to see any clouds and the sun is burning bright. With the screen at full brightness (auto) I can read the screen perfectly. No issues what so ever and I don't need to shade the screen. Not sure why you are having issues.

The battery life is fantastic too. Does the samsung S5 get better life? Probably. But I am easily getting 2-3 hours on half a charge. My samsung would be dying by then.

When I compared the Samsung S5 and the G3 in a best buy, the G3 was brighter and the screen was much sharper. I don't know why the reviews say its hard to tell, it wasn't at all. Even the samsung rep agreed.

I have an G3 also in the UK and I would somewhat agree.

However, my first question would be, are you still on v10a?

Cause v10a was/is ****, since I flashed v10e there is definite improvement all around.

Maybe US variants were released with a later version? Maybe that's why they have started with better battery?

And it's definitely too early to judge the phone in my opinion.

Can't wait for CM/AOSP roms and custom kernels... hopefully in the not too distant future.

I'm not sure how to feel about the phone. I don't have issues with battery life, got 6h SoT without too much problems.

Also, today I've noticed a problem probably due to custom buttons bar: Battlenet authenticator menu button, usually puts 3 dots in the soft launch (on M8 at least) is gone on G3...

And that sudden lag... G3 takes literally double the time to go to apps list, to open an app, to shut it down.. 3GB RAM version.

I got this off eBay from a UK seller. It was all Korean language when I first got it but I've put v2 Final on it. All good apart from issues with Bluetooth. Really can't say about the extra gig - doesn't seem any different to my S4.

Just seems a bit unexciting on terms of the external design. I've got a case on it which has added extra bulk. It's a good phone but I think I prefer amoleds now after spending a year or so with the S4.
