ah,right. now i saw it...don't know what happened,i thought i quoted you :)))

if i compare the white in the app with the laptop,it is not too different but i installed the app also on the other G3 and again, it is visible. i will give LG a call and check with them. when i will have time i will put also a few pictures with the 2 phones side by side
[G3 General] razvan06:
Hey guys, I have an issue with the LED notification light. I cannot seem to find anything like this on the webz and figured that maybe you know something about it.

IF i leave the phone without checking the notification for a long time, it will get stuck and blink like a retard until i restart it. But if i check and dismiss the notification within the first 1-2 min, it will stop blinking.

I'm not sure which app is causing this, but do you know any other solution before i check all of the apps to see if they are the ones causing this?
[G3 General] hornedfiend:
Try lightflow since that takes over you led engine and should provide additional functionalities for it also. If lightflow has the same behavior, it could be, as you previously described it, the actual application. In that case, you should limit the functionality of the other apps until you reach the one who's the culprit in this case. Well, it's either that or backup and factory restore.
[G3 General] razvan06:
Thanx, I've actually found the app that bugs the notification LED. It's Whatsapp... I found this by applying a red color to any notif from it.

In case anyone has this issue... disable Hangouts from Settings>Apps>All now go back-up your conversations in Whatsapp and delete it's data from Settings>Apps>Downloaded (or installed). Open Whatsapp and re-do the setup - the restore process will be done by the app itself. Voila, you're done!
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
And it is ok?where did you buy it from?
[G3 General] istinet:
I also have a glass screen protector installed. I got it from altshop.to for about 50 RON. Also, I got a flip case from them. I don't really like flip cases(or any other kind of case), but I need some extra protection for my phone at work. When I'm out in the city, I don't even use the case, I like my phone "naked".
[G3 General] Laurentiu27:
A question how is your battery life and do you like your g3?

---------- Post added at 08:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

I come from note 3 and I'm thinking buy a note edge not really impressed about lg
[G3 General] istinet:
My battery life is pretty good, with heavy use, it gets me through the day. 8 hours of listening to music, 4-6 hours of screen on time, browsing the internet on 3G network, WiFi, data connection, sync, location reporting always enabled. At the end of the day, I still have some juice in the battery. The screen is gorgeous, the phone's snappy. What else would you like to know?

P.S. I recommend the G3 over the Note 4 edge. For me, that edge part would be a drawback, if you're right handed, can't reach the left end of the screen, without touching the edge screen. But this is just my humble opinion.

Cheers buddy!
[G3 General] istinet:
Hey ucraiova88, I just want to let you know, I got my tablet a few hours ago. I know the courier, who brought it, so I only needed to sign the papers and write my identity card number on one of them. For some, it may be more complicated a bit. Make sure, you have your phone with you (they might need to verify the IMEI), your identity card and the receipt from your supplier. Hope I helped you in some way.

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------

By the way, the V400 can be rooted with purpledrake, the same program, you can use to root your G3. Is there a dedicated thread for the V400? I couldn't find it.
[G3 General] Robi-K:
Yes it's very good. It holds up to scratches and it doesn't loose its properties (it's glass feeling) after 1 month like the cheap ones do. I work in mobile repair center so it was easy for me te get hold of but you can find a couple of suppliers if you google it. I think emag has it to.
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
Thanks for the info.i asked this because i registered 2 phones and one of them i don't have it on me and i want to be prepared for when they come.how is the tablet so far?
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
Great,thanks.i was looking for a protector that someone already used.i will look for this one
[G3 General] istinet:
If you have the box of the phone on you, I'll think that's enough as well. I couldn't really try it out, I just got off work, but I've rooted it and modified the build.prop, to have all applications in Split Window. So far it looks good enough. It seems like it has some screen bleeding, but only on black, and it's not that bad. The screen is 1280 by 800 with a default pixel density of 230. I can't say anything about the battery, so far. It charges rather slowly, due to the weak wall charger (just use the phones, it's much powerful ). Looks like, it can handle 2 pretty big apps in split window, I've tried it with the PSN app and the Destiny companion app, also YouTube and a bunch of other smaller apps. The build quality is pretty good, the back is plastic, but it has a nice texture to it. My first impressions are pretty good. I hope you'll get yours soon. Cheers!
[G3 General] kraven001:
The LG Promo was kind of a joke. I really hope they will send Tablets to those "2000" participants they boast. Either way the rules are saying something around at least 2000 tablets.

It's funny how it works, they still allow users to register until the 30th of September but my registration wasn't yet processed (though they say it takes up to 30 days to process the registrations).
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
i hope they will not give only 2000 tablets. i don't know where you saw this being mentioned. i really hope they give the tablet to all the users that bought the phone until 14 of September, like they said.
[G3 General] calinormy:
I just received the confirmation mail yesterday and today Urgent Curier has contacted me...the tablet is in Cluj today...
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
Good for you. and when did you registered your phone? How long did it took?
[G3 General] Amo_rphis:
My example:registered on 18 aug;got pre-validation email on 22 .09(in the morning,so i think is automatic at 35 days they say);and suddenly,today got phone from courier and also tablet(23.09) ...white version :(
[G3 General] calinormy:
I got the tablet today.

1. Can be rooted with towelroot

2. I just f..ked up one file after root...so if somebody could send me mixer_paths.xml ( or something like that) from the etc folder i will be very happy. Now i have no sound at all.

P.S. The sound quality of this tablet is on par ( at least) with htc one m8. Too bad for 8gb of space.

3. It has usb on the go but this seems not to recognize exfat file sistem. This is very annoing couse i used an s4 mini with the same snapdragon and my 64 gb mini sd card was recognized without any problem

4. Could somebody give a link to kdz files for V400?

Thanks in advance!!

---------- Post added at 07:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

P.S. Sorry for my bad english
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
And what did you need to have on you?the phone,the receipt,the box? Or what else?
[G3 General] kraven001:
The LG promo clearly states this:

Translating between the lines for our fellow non Romanian speakers it says that they will give about 2000 tablets, but not limited to that specific number. I guess is a matter of stock. That in my mind says that they will give at least 2000 so we need to be cautiously eager to get our tablets (if we get ours, I registered very late - around the 9th of September and didn't get any verification confirmation yet).
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
for me it was like this: i registered on 1st of September and at first i got a reply saying that the photo of the receipt is not to clear. so i made a new registration and after 2 days when i didn't get any reply, i replied to the email they sent me and asked if now is ok. then i got a reply saying that it is ok and in 35 days i will receive a pre-validation email. now i am waiting...

Just got the tablet yesterday morning. I registered on 18.08 got confirmation on 20.09 and after 2-3 days I got it. White version. It's not as bad as I tought. It's a decent tablet.
[G3 General] calinormy:
Thanks!!!! Mulțumesc tare mult!!!
[G3 General] Laurentiu27:
Did you guys rooted the phone with what? Please share your impression and what tweaks you use
[G3 General] istinet:
I've rooted it with PurpleDrake, but since then, the Stump Root is working on the D855 as well. I'd recommend rooting with a PC, but if you don't want to fiddle around with drivers, just go with Stump Root.

For tweaks, I've changed the bit rate and compression levels, enabled all applications in multi window, turned off HTP, changed dpi, etc.
[G3 General] Laurentiu27:
And for battery you use something?
[G3 General] istinet:
Not really. It gets me trough the day with heavy usage and I get 2-3 days with moderate use.
[G3 General] Laurentiu27:
You're on V10h?
[G3 General] istinet:
Yes, I'm on v10h.
[G3 General] Laurentiu27:
Did you installed via ota or unrooted and installed and reroot again?
[G3 General] istinet:
I've installed the newest official kdz from lg, updated it via ota, rooted with Stump, changed runtime to art, tweaks, removed bloat apps.
[G3 General] ffocus2008:
The LG Promo was a joke, together with Orange which DIDN'T say on the webpage that you have to buy the phone as individual, not on company. They denied my entry because the invoice was not on my name. **** it...

I mean what the hell is the difference how i buy the phone as long as i buy it?
[G3 General] Laurentiu27:
Today i dropped my lg so i put it on sale in going to buy note 4 or edge
[G3 General] Laurentiu27:
Anyone knows where to buy note edge except quickmobile?
[G3 General] istinet:
They've clearly stated, that you need to be an individual, at least 18 years old and the participant needs to be a Romanian resident.

- section 4

Next time, read the terms and conditions.
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
so far i didn't change anything on the G3 so i am not familiar to these methods. what exactly is kdz and you need to flash this manually? will it wipe everything?
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
any news about an update here in Romania? i am still on v10h
[G3 General] kraven001:
Still 10h here, seems that our region is moving slower - may be since my phone is Vodafone branded ... they need to green light updates or whatever.
[G3 General] istinet:
.kdz is the extension of the file, like .exe or .dll. Basically it's the phones firmware packaged. You need to flash it manually with LGs update tool. Altough, you don't need to flash it, you can simply upgrade the fw with the PC suite.

Flashing a .kdz doesn't necessarily wipe your data, only if you chose so.

On this link http://www.mylgphones.com/lg-g3-firmware-checking-the-software-version-and-update-history you can find the newest fw for the G3, for Romania, it's v10h, and you can also find some useful information/software.

If you need any help, let me know.

P.S. I usually wipe the data on my phone. Not doing so can result in unwanted bugs.
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
thanks for the info.

i know kdz is an extension. i was asking what brings new and if is worth it. i also know how to flash and i wanted to know if you have the option to wipe the data or not. i know it is better to wipe but for now i have way to much apps on it and i am not ready to do a reinstall. i will do this for sure in the future. for now i hope that the official ota will come and will fix my bugs so i will not have to do a reinstall.
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
I have another question for you guys.sometimes when i go to my homescreen,all the widgets are blinking/flashing.they work fine but whenever someone looks at my phone,they ask me what's with that lag.do you guys have this?
[G3 General] istinet:
It does that, because the launcher is being restarted. It loads up the widgets again. The system kills your launcher app. I've been trying to get it stop, but no luck yet.
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
In this case i am changing the launcher.what do you guys use?so far i use google now launcher
[G3 General] istinet:
I'm using the stock LG launcher, but there are alternatives. Google Now, Nova Prime is pretty good.

Edit: I think, in Nova, you have an option to disable the killing of the launcher. I'm not sure though. Haven't used it in a while.
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
how long it took for you guys to receive your tablet after you got the pre-validation email. in that email they said that in max 30 days. so this is after the 35 days from the first registration.

also another thing, did anyone received any updates in Romania? i saw that a rev L is rolling out and i am still on H
[G3 General] Robi-K:
I got the update 2 days ago thru pc companion. OTA wouldn't show any available updates. So far no noticeable changes.
[G3 General] istinet:
After you register, you should get an automated email in 35 days (if the info you provided is correct), after that you'll receive another email in which they say, you'll get the tablet within 30 days (shipping).

It could take up to 65 days from the initial registration to receive your tablet.

I got v10l last week via OTA, but instead I went to LGs site and downloaded the kdz, and did a clean install.
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
I know that you could wait 65 days.but how long did you guys had to wait after you received the prevalidation mail?

Also you received the version L or capital i?
[G3 General] istinet:
I've waited about a week after the pre-validation period (the first 35 days).

I've got V10L last week.
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
i still didn't received the update.

any vodafone 32G branded G3s that received the update yet?
[G3 General] kraven001:
still on 10h on vodafone branded , hopefully it will land soon for us too. the update schedule sucks - this makes me miss my nexus ...
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
I still haven't sold my nexus 5 and i am still considering to keep the nexus due to the updates and lack of roma for the g3 :(
[G3 General] tudorbaros:
I`ve got the prevalidation on 24th of sept and no tablet yet.
[G3 General] vulcanescu35:
Hi Guys,

I have the LG G3 /32Gb bought from Vodafone, and in first day i have rooted and put a custom ROM (AndroidNow HD), now I'm on version 1.4 and it's working like a charm, and the base version is V-10L.

Nice to meet you and have her a Romanian Grup!
[G3 General] kraven001:
I used the kdz method to flash the 10L version on branded 32gb vdf phone coming from 10H. All worked / works fine (as far as I could test so far ...) and no data was lost in the process.
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
By putting the kdz you are not using any data?i may try this method
[G3 General] kraven001:
You use your computer to flash the KDZ - check tutorials here on XDA in the general section. The 10L version didn't wipe anything, it went right like a regular update. As far as I could "research" there is a small likelihood that kdz flash would wipe your phone - but it's never a bad idea to backup before (I had a backup of the important things).
[G3 General] istinet:
If you select normal flash, then it won't wipe your data. The other option will. I can't recall it's name, I'm not at home.
[G3 General] kraven001:
It's called CSE Flash, and yes that is supposed to wipe opposed to the Normal one that is supposed to be used for regular "updates".
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
And do you need to be rooted? Also,will a next OTA work without problems if i do this?
[G3 General] kraven001:
* You don't need to be rooted.

* I don't see why the next OTA won't work ... given it will be an OTA from L to something else.

You can supposedly flash the official kdz anytime to get the OTA - at least that is my understanding of how this works; I am actually curious if the L update for the 32 GB from VDF will be any different from the international released one - it seems everybody got basically the same thing.
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
I searched for my IMEI and the last firmware found is still at version H. Can i get a different kdz file or i need to wait for the file for my imei to appear?
[G3 General] kraven001:
I was / am getting the same via IMEI. I flashed the 10L open Europe kdz that can be found around here and it worked without any hiccups. Technically you can flash things like this, I think in the end we will get the same it's just something that RO carriers need to approve.

So far the update seems a real step up. Things look snappier and the phone performs more consistently.
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
if i'm not asking too much, can you please share where i can find the file you used? i want to use one that i know for sure it's working.

thanks in advance
[G3 General] kraven001:
I used the links in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55975627&postcount=262 the MD5 hash was the same with other links in the same thread.
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
thank you.downloading now :)
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
Finally i got my tablet. Last email was on the 6th of October.

It is the black one.

I think i am keeping my current 8.3 tab because of the bigger screen :)
[G3 General] kraven001:
Got mine today also :) 8.3 tab is vastly superior :)
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
Yes, the 8.3 is superior. This is why i am keeping it. The only thing that i like more on the 7 is the interface which ia like the one on the G3. But i am still happy that i got it. The 2000 number didn't sound so good :D
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
Btw, if you didn't already knew, there is a new G3 promotion:

http://telefoane-cu-android.eu/2014/10/lg-g3-promotie-noua-valabila-pana-la-finele-anului/
[G3 General] dcbogdan:
I had no idea, thanks a lot. I was looking at the LG Tone Infinim and trying to convince myself it's worth the money :). Maybe I wasn't too late.
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
glad i was useful.

until i saw the promotion, i didn't even knew about this headset. i saw they are expensive, almost the same as the tablet was. if this promotion is useful to you, go for it, why not? :)
[G3 General] Scovik:
Does anybody know if the G3's from emag are good with this promo?
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
As long as the seller is LG,it should be ok. Check the terms on the promo.they tell you what to look at on the box. And since it's emag we are talking about, remember that you can always send it back in 30 days if the promo is not good for that phone
[G3 General] Robi-K:
My phone was from emag also and I got the tablet.
[G3 General] Scovik:
Well, I looked at the promo notes and there is a picture there in which you can clearly see that the importer is LG Electronics Romania, the only reason I am asking is that on my G3 box there is no such sticker, the importer is a different company not to mention that the actual code for the phone is SWS (Switzerland) not 6RO or RO or what ever else is used for G3 imported for Romania.

I know that the 16GB version was eligible for the first promo (the one with the tablet) but I have the 32GB version, which may come from another importer/distributor.

I will try to register and see what happens.

LE: From what I saw on the promo site my current G3 is not eligible for this promotion as the phone box doesn't have the required sticker. To bad for me :(

LE2: I found the tablet promo and the same sticker appears there as well, can anyone from here who has the 16GB version can actually confirm that the version bought from emag had that sticker on the box?
[G3 General] Scovik:
Back with more info.

I called LG and after the guy that answered assumed that the phone can take part in the promo (because the box contained an LG Romania warranty certification), after checking the phones IMEI he said that the phone can't take part in the promo, more than that he said that LG Romania service doesn't cover the warranty of this phone, so in other words, if the phone breaks down and I returned it to emag, in theory it won't be fixed by LG Romania service, even though the warranty certification is from LG Romania. This is strange, but considering the fact that emag will take care of the warranty it's not my problem how they would resolve a warranty issue.

On the other hand I may return it as it was bought 2 weeks ago and try to purchase it from a vendor that has them imported through LG Romania. I am not sure at the moment if I want to return it or not (I lost my interest in the promo items after I saw some reviews of the headphones on amazon and bestbuy, most ppl complained about the quality of the headphones, and that in some cases they broke down after 3-4 weeks). Since for me having free but bad products is a no go, in this situation I won't make an effort in trying to take advantage of this promo.

PS: I will call emag and see what they have to say about the warranty. Maybe this could be treated as a warning to future buyers of various electronic products from emag.
[G3 General] kraven001:
eMag has a good customer service when it comes to warranties. However it's possible that it has a third party involved (not once I got products from them that had warranties from quickmobile for example :P). Either way you should be good, because you have bought it from them and they should give you all the perks and warranty benefits.

If you are absolutely in need to enter the give-away then force their hand, return it and get it from another seller.
[G3 General] Scovik:
Like I previously mentioned, I'm not fund of crappy products even if they are free, I admit that the headphones look nice but that is about it. At the moment I am extremely happy with the G3 and I wouldn't want to return it, like I said and you said, the warranty is from emag, it won't be my problem where they fix the phone if it breaks, but I found it rather strange that an original LG warranty certificate issued for Romania was in the box.

We Romanians do know how to make things look fishy.

PS: I would be curios who an G3 32GB version made for Romania works compared to the one I have which is for Switzerland :) (most likely there is on difference, or maybe there is )
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
Emag works with Depanero service.

I have a 32G from Romania running L software and i get some lag from time to time
[G3 General] kraven001:
I have the 32 GB Vodafone branded one, runs 10L (installed it with kdz). The latest update made it better in terms of performance and response (guess there were some tweaks because this has the interactive governor and I remember it was ondemand before). It's good enough for now, though there are occasional redraws and apps loading slowly but that's the reality of this phone.
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
the 10l version solved the quickcircle problem for me which is a big deal. however, the lag is the same as for 10i. i read a lot of articles, even on gsmarena that this version solved a big part of the lag but for me is mostly the same :(
