[Verizon LG G3] muiriddin:
If you read you will find that what thebigSWEEN says here is true. The problem is Verizon not LG. I do agree that in the past LG did not provide as many updates as they should have how ever things turned around with their last generation of phones or thereabouts.
[Verizon LG G3] Cruiserdude:
I don't know this for a fact, but I highly doubt LG just hands an update right to Verizon's testing group.

My guess would be an engineering build goes to a select group of software engineers within the company, who do initial testing of the overall experience, likely focusing on the basebands. Then they add the usual crap to it, and make several revisions to the basebands again. Then if there's nothing majorly wrong with it, they may submit it for general testing. Which means a manager somewhere has to get around to signing off on it. Only at that point would anyone in the company outside of software/device engineering see a test build. And if any network QA engineers don't like something, the whole process would start over again.

But it'll take longer now. I highly doubt Verizon wants to push any OTAs that don't include VoLTE from this point forward, however. Which means a manager isn't going to sign off on it until that's included. Of course that takes more time to add and test even in that select group, since the service itself is still basically in early beta. And they've probably decided to only do one phone at a time to keep from overloading that part of the network, which could delay the process further. Meaning we'll get it only after the Note 4 launches with VoLTE and they see how that works out.

But that's all speculation on my part, I have no idea how that process works. I have no affiliation with Verizon, I'm just guessing. But I would be willing to wager that the delay has something to do with VoLTE. In the meantime, we'll just have to hope for an unlock and a port from the international version.
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
As far as I'm concerned, Verizon shouldn't have any say in the matter whatsoever, and updates should be available to us (without rooting and rom'ing) directly from LG. Hey, but that would be too "Apple like", and we all know how unsuccessful that has been for Apple right? NOT! Oh well, I guess we need to face it that what you see is what we'll get and there ain't nothing in the pipeline to fix or update anything. Just the way it is.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
It is a real problem for those of us who, for one reason or another, choose to keep paying money to Verizon for access to their network. Even with my (expensive!) grandfathered unlimited data plan and my need for coverage in remote locations, I will drop Verizon joyfully as soon as any other carrier (T-Mobile) can meet my needs. This total denial of available support updates to existing paying customers is a major reason for my desire to put Verizon well behind me.

I hate that VZW does so much with their updates to the point where it might not be released but they have been the best carrier for me.

If I did not leave Boston then I would leave instantly but since I travel so much, I need VZW. With my previous job, I had ATT and I ended up using my personal phone instead because it just works. I need that in case of emergency. ATT works fine without issues in major cities but I don't go to major cities for where I work so that sucks for me.

bleh.... Google’s Google Voice team, announced today that MMS support within Google Voice is now live for almost 100 North American based carriers. To the dismay of many people, the list of carriers that gave the go ahead to roll out this update

does not include Verizon

. Customers on AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile in the U.S. as well as Rogers, Bell Canada and Telus in Canada will have this new option available to them.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
I was just looking at a message on my Cricket-sim'd Nexus5 that was telling me I can now do up to 30 second videos through Groupme...I wonder if there is a connection to your post ?

I do not use MMS myself hardly at all, but it is another bad mark against Verizon. They are very clever about what they choose to suppress, though.
[Verizon LG G3] SilentO:
Where is the frraking update????????
[Verizon LG G3] terminal13:
Forget waiting for verizon.... Root it, bump it and in a month the g3 will have tons of fun things to flash....
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
Too little too late if it even ever does come. At least the nexus 6 folks will be able to enjoy Lolipop. I am now pretty certain that verizon will not have Lolipop on the G3 anytime before LG has the G4 ready. Just the way it is...... I'd grab a Nexus 6 but the darn thing is too big for me..

Then again m,aybe the G4 will be worth the wait:

LG certainly made a mark during 2014 with the release of the LG G3, solidly placing it in front of smartphone buyers as a legitimate high-end manufacturer. As the company looks forward to 2015, the bar will be raised. In one area, the camera, LG revealed at the Korea Electronics Show today that it is ready to step up with an improved unit that will include 20.7 MP resolution sensor and an improved optical image stabilization system.

LG Innotek, the group that is producing the new camera hardware, indicates the image stabilization correction angle will increase to 0.7 compared to the 0.5 angle in the LG G3 unit. The larger correction angle means better adjustments can be made for unwanted movement like shaking when users try to capture video or images.
[Verizon LG G3] Cruiserdude:
So any more news of something in testing even? This thing is really starting to piss me off, lags as much as Samsung, but doesn't have the battery life to go along with it. LG needs to get something out to us asap, whatever they have to tell Verizon
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
I'm really starting to appreciate the way Apple does it's updates. Done and out. With this it's Done and None! It's going to be Androids downfall at some point.
[Verizon LG G3] spotmark:
Guys, we're unlocked, now. The devs will have us on Android L, soon.
[Verizon LG G3] tech_head:
I'm hoping for a nice clean CM12.
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
It's definitely a superior update system since they retain all control.... but then you need to remember that Apple retains all control and so much innovation is lost. That's the reason Apple iOS has been playing catch-up to so many Android features that we've had for 2 or more years.

It would be so great if Google could somehow take control of all the updates while still maintaining all the innovation. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening. Some features that were really awesome were specific to certain skins and mods for years but it took quite a while for Google to adopt them (in some cases they still haven't). Such is the game.

Trade offs.
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
So LG now syas that the G3 will get Lolipo by the end of this year. That's international. So for Verizon to issue it, I'm thinking well into 2015. Thereby confirming that the G4 might be getting ready to come out by the time the G3 Verizon gets it. So frustrating for those that don't want to root and rom.
[Verizon LG G3] Krusej23:
Looks like the G3 is supposed to be updated in Q4. Let's say LG pushes it out early December, I'm guessing Verizon pushes it out early January.
[Verizon LG G3] Colchiro:
I'm seeing a lot of guessing going on here....
[Verizon LG G3] eXtreme Burrito!:
I guess this is probably your first phone with Verizon.

I wouldn't hold my breath.
[Verizon LG G3] bweN diorD:
lololol, guess more like early july :p

here is the base article for whoever wants a look http://www.droid-life.com/2014/10/27/lg-g3-gets-lollipop-before-the-end-of-the-year/
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
If anyone wants to run Android L on a Verizon G3 before April at the earliest (would take a miracle even then) they will most likely have to run a CM12 based ROM, which (let's be realistic here) is not likely to fully support the awesome G3 camera and laser focus, at least initially.

I was and still am hoping for Verizon to let loose of at least one single KitKat update for their G3s, to smooth the interface, improve battery life, bring us to 4.4.4 and I guess close all the root and Bump exploits off (sigh...)

That's one reason I am not too worried about thecubed and friends not releasing too much detail about bumping yet. Verizon is watching.
[Verizon LG G3] Krusej23:
This is my third phone with Verizon and yes I know they are slow with pushing updates out. I think some of that is going to change with Android L. I'm still guessing that it will come out in January depending on when LG brings it out. I'm saying they come out with it a month and a half after LG comes out with it.
[Verizon LG G3] Groundhound:
Verizon is trying to push an update to both my G3's now (one rooted)
[Verizon LG G3] Addiso:
Yeah I'm getting one too
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
Finally 11C now. Now the long wait for L.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
If you have any interest in having your G3 be rootable and bumpable, you should avoid the Verizon OTA at least for now.

Sorry to open a thread over this. I have been searching for data on/off feature in quick setting tiles...In gravity box this quick setting ain't there...how to get this?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Uh.. you don't even need Xposed/custom ROM for data in quick settings? It's already a tile isn't it? :eek:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abinash:
Look out again bro.... I am not talking about carrier tile and airplane mode tile...all i want to simply data on/off coz i don't want to extra data usage when i am not using the phone...and its ain't there
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Carrier tile IS data tile. ._.

Long press it if you're on 100% stock, or use GravityBox to change it so that it switches around long and short press actions. Custom ROMs usually have it switched around already.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abinash:
Then i have to go into it to toggle...[emoji26] its not i want....anyway thanks bro[emoji6]
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Read my edit. I said long press. Hold it down.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abinash:
Hold doesnt work though..it also get into the sys app...i am using gravity box
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swat4samp:
Long pressing carrier toggle takes you to mobile data usage tab where you can enable/disable data :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctor_droid:
Why not use power toggles?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abinash:
Yeah that's the point [emoji20]
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
He doesn't seem to know what he's doing, what ROM he has, what long-press and tap is and what his own GravityBox settings are lol

Stock = Tap to enter the relevant Settings window, Long press to quick-toggle

Custom ROM = Tap to quick-toggle, Long press to enter relevant Settings window

Stock + GravityBox = you can choose which of the above, there's a setting for it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swat4samp:
So you don't need to go to settings and toggle, right? In that case, most of the custom rom's has that feature by default. For example, PA has it by default.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychDrummer:
I have gravity box and I tried it. Surprisingly tapping it goes into the setting but long press didn't do anything.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Unfortunately long press doesn't work on that tile with stock functionality. Would be nice though, not like it'd be confused with switching off the voice network since that isn't actually possible without going into airplane mode anyways.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abinash:
On gravity box its possible..Do as follows

Go to quick setting management -> Tile specific settings -> tap on "override default tile behavior" and select data usage then reboot and u r good to go. [emoji6]
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klen2:
Hi, i bought a Droid Razr M with cracked screen to fix my bricked one. I put the motherboard from the new one and the screen and other things from the old one together. I tried to use both batteries. New combined phone works, boots up, but the problem is charging. When i plug it in charger when turned off, it looks like it started to charge, but when the screen turns off, it looks like it stopped to charge. When it boots, it looks like on the picture. Battery shows always 2% (old one) or 1% (new one). It sometimes connects to PC and ADB. The strange thing is that when I put it into fastboot, it says battery:ok and it let me flash the new ROM. When booted up, there's notification "connected in factory mode" and "CommServer started"

What can I do? Is it hardware or software problem? Thanks
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATTACK:
It's maybe hardware(?). I believe CommServer is a factory recovery tool which is also connected to CQA_Test to run diagnostics.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klen2:
But the fastboot says

battery:ok

even when it's not connected to PC
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATTACK:
Have you tried to restore factory firmware?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klen2:
Yes, flashed kitkat fxz
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klen2:
Is there any method, how to get the real battery state? Because it doesn't discharge (from the 2%), even when unplugged.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATTACK:
Simple Battery Logger is a nice little app.

Are you able to run CQA Test?

EDIT:

adb shell
dumpsys battery
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klen2:
Yes. There is screen, vibrator, sensor etc. test. Battery test says connected do USB (the settings app says connected to unknown). Batery level is corresponding to system - 3%
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klen2:
dumpsys battery
Current Battery Service state:
AC powered: false
USB powered: true
Wireless powered: false

current now: -2700

So it seems, that fastboot doesn't get the battery info properly... it's really low. Problem is, that I can't get it to charge
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATTACK:
status:1 = UNKNOWN - which leads me to believe it's a hardware problem. (Charging Port(?))
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klen2:
=%So it takes power from charger, but do not charge battery. Could you say, where is the broblem? I think I could go to service and let it replace.

Do you think so? Because it gets power from charger, otherwise it would be completly dead, after that all, what i have done with it (at the begginning the battery level on both batteries cca 4%, now 3% and 2%
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezknives:
Does both batteries have the same results? When plugged in while off does it ever go to the charging animation? Does the led stay green when plugged in while off for a moment like 30 seconds+?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klen2:
Both batteries have same results. It goes to charging animation, but when the screen turns off then, it stops to charge (no green led)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klen2:
SO:

-it takes power from charger (otherwise the battery would be dead now)

it takes power from battery (the phone works without battery)

-BUT it doesn't charge

--Where is the problem? Are the same pins in Micro USB used for giving power directly to motherboard as to charge battery?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezknives:
Are you switching the entire back piece, did you use a heat gun and remove the battery from the back or pry it out? there is two pressure contacts toward the top next to the back speaker does it appear the logic board makes good contact with them... So the led doesn't even flash not even for a second
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klen2:
Green led lights, but only before the screen turns on and shows charging animation. I'll have a look at the pressure contacts.

EDIT:

The pressure contects are for NFC
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezknives:
Yea your right I just pulled the battery off the back...I was hoping it would be like the droid 4... I'll take another look at my working one... And fully de-assemble my broken one... It seems like its getting power but its not getting to the battery
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klen2:
SO, do you thing that replacing USB port will fix it? Or what?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezknives:
Did you pry the batteries off the backs...or anything like that that would damage the batteries... With the led lighting up before it goes to the charging animation leads me to believe the USB is ok... It may be somewhat faulty but the green led means that the phone recognized the charger, the battery is very low and needs to charge the battery some before going to the charging animation but it seams that its not letting it do that... You flashed kk to it so its getting a good enough connection for that... For me it sounds like the batteries are defective some how or maybe the logic board got damaged somehow when the prior owner broke the screen... I would let it sit on the charger while off over night for quite a while like 6-10 hours before doing anything drastic like changing the USB port... I would use the one from your brick being as you know it worked before..
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klen2:
So definitely no charging. I don't thing that the batteries are damaged. I thing I was able to charge them little bit with the bricked motherboard. The problem must be somewhere on new motherboard. But where? I thing it won't be easy.

[Xperia Z General] shad0wboss:
I am currently using S3 and I love the display due to the amoled display. I am however tired of using Galaxy series as I have at least 5 phones which are galaxy.

I used to own Xperia S and flashing custom roms was a pain as I had to go through the whole bootloader unlocking process. Is it the same with Z?

Also I am a little concerned about the viewing angles and bad screen quality overall, is it all true?

This is the only phone that may be considered an upgrade over S3 due to the LTE and a full HD display. Else I can grab S4 but I want to personally avoid it...

Any comments/tips/suggestions are obviously welcome and appreciated.
[Xperia Z General] Dsteppa:
If viewing angle are something of your concern then the XZ might not be something for you. Beside the viewing angles the screen is just great in my opinion (note: "opinion")

If the XZ you buy doesn't have an unlock able BL then you'll be out of luck.

You can still flash most custom roms, but you won't be able to get another kernel.

Sent from outer space...
[Xperia Z General] Dark_SE:
I buyed the XZ because it has great design and great specs. And the water & dust resistence is always a handy feature to have.

There are a lot of good custom roms and kernels, and most of them you can flash with a locked bootloader.

About the screen, i think the screen is great. And i don't mind about the viewing angles, it's good for the privacy. :good:

But of course, that's my opinion. You have to make your own decisions :D
[Xperia Z General] xchasa:
Sold my GS3 last year and got the Xz.

Never looked back however I'm looking to get something new soon as my contract was up in May. Nothing has really caught my attention yet so still happy rocking the Sony. It's a great phone that does not even need rooting.

Go for it.
[Xperia Z General] shoey63:
Don't be put off by unlocking the bootloader. Do a bit of research, in particular, TA backup, flashtool and towelroot. Once unlocked, the XZ is a flashers dream :D
[Xperia Z General] Pandemic:
Viewing angles doesn't matter.

Its just wonderfull how powerfull the XZ is, viewing angles give you some private usage and not everyone need to know what you do on your phone, its personal ^^

Send from my XZ With My Own Personal Modified MoonWalker SuperB !
[Xperia Z General] gerickjohn:
After the recent KitKat updates, the Xperia Z's screen has been really great, viewing angles are ALOT better than before, from what I've noticed and aside from that, you won't really get bothered about it unless viewing from extreme angles. Anywhere near head on to slightly tilted will be fine.
[Xperia Z General] shad0wboss:
So unlocking the BL depends on luck? I never knew that because I never tried it on XS.
[Xperia Z General] Pandemic:
Unlocked the bootloader is not needed so far only if you wanna flash a custom kernel !

i still run on a locked bl and still have the "working" Bravia engine [Now X-Reality] and i dont wanna loose that for sure ^^
[Xperia Z General] shad0wboss:
but for miui etc, you need a custom kernel, no?

EDIT: Also i heard that the triluminos display which is present in the latest Z1 and Z2, it actually gets rid of the viewing angle problem, so i wanted to know if that's something software based or hardware based.
[Xperia Z General] gerickjohn:
Completely hardware based. I've never seen such a huge difference in a screen upgrade before. Z2 looks great. :good:
[Xperia Z General] shad0wboss:
but z1 also has that...i was also considering z ultra because it's quite cheaphere but it's not practical.
