Either my phone doesn't have a lag or I simply can't notice it, or maybe I am not so picky. I can't seem to notice any lag, maybe because I use buzz launcher and not the stock one and I have disabled the lg keyboard (I am using the L one). I am running on L version for 1 week + now and I can't really say if it's an improvement or not from the previous version. All I can say is that that 1 GB of ram makes a huge difference and that LG made a low job customizing the OS and all their bloatware. From 3 GB of ram in some cases I have about 800 MB free even though I have 1-2 apps that I keep in the background.

I will most likely install the lite version or simply root it and take out some useless apps like mcafee and a few more from LG.
[G3 General] dcbogdan:
I think the whole point of this promotional campaigns by LG Romania is to fight the so called "gray market". With EU being an open market they can't legally force any exclusivities and they can't impose regional pricing, so the shops in Romania can import the phones themselves from anywhere. But of course LG Romania is longing to be the "official sales channel" and since they can't convince the sellers to buy from them (most probably because of the price) they try to convince the consumers to buy phones imported by them ;)

And no, there probably is no difference between the phone made for Romania and other European countries.
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
i come from a nexus 5 and maybe that is why i can notice the lag. maybe i expected more from a device this expensive and considering it is LG's flagship.

also i am using the stock launcher so maybe this is the biggest reason for my lag. i used for a day the google now launcher and i didn't have lag. i enjoy this launcher and i don't want to use others but i think i may be obligated to do so in the near future.
[G3 General] Scovik:
One more thing I always do on a new android phone is to turn off the window and transition animation scale as well as the animation duration scale. I need quick access to the phone's content not nice animations and slow response. As with other situations when the software was really poor optimized and you got issues even with the top of the line hardware (for example the when Crysis came out and you couldn't run it on a top of the line PC), we can't do much now, just wait for LG to step up their game, although I have to say that compared to my former xperia Z the G3 is super fast and responsive.

I would recommend to all who want to try a different lanchhed to give Buzz launcher a try, they have nice themes and a lot of cool features + it doesn't slow down the phone at all, on the contrary....
[G3 General] kraven001:
While many like that (disabling animations scales, etc), I give you Lollipop where Google exaggerated the animations exactly to improve the user experience - make things flow one action from the other. If you don't have the animation you get a blank screen so the "benefit" is only apparent (at least in my experience the phone seems more natural with these transitions and they will help perceiving that something is working for you).

If only Lollipop would come sooner and we would get 60 FPS everywhere.

LE: The lag is "alleviated" with custom launchers to the extent it doesn't redraw that much when returning to home screen;
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
I hope you guys saw the news for android 5.0 lollipop

[G3 General] Scovik:
Anyone got the M update? I presume that his version can be rooted as well right?
[G3 General] kraven001:
officially still stuck at H, however I flashed the M Kdz without issues. root didn't / doesn't interest me for now with this toy ;).
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
Do you have the file?i downloaded one from xda but it had 1,2GB :|
[G3 General] kraven001:
Yep, I used the 1.2 GB one. You can find links in the Kdz topic (either from Mega - rehost or from LG itself).
[G3 General] dcbogdan:
I know this is slightly off-topic, but do you guys know when the G Watch R will be officially available in Romania?
[G3 General] kraven001:
Seems that Vodafone released (or at least for my vodafone 32GB unit) 10L officially - i can see the kdz via csmg.... LG website.
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
Took a while. Anyone tried the N version?any improvements?
[G3 General] kraven001:
N seems to be sort of an "internal" release for Asia. I wouldn't try it (and requires a full wipe / restore which I don't fancy doing); I am running M though which seems to be released for open Europe in some regions. No real improvements over L as far as I can see.
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
has anyone flashed a lollipop kdz file so far?
[G3 General] kraven001:
I did, and it removed all the Vodafone Branding.
[G3 General] DonnyR:
I updated mine (32gb) to Android 5.0 Lollipop yesterday. Today there was a new build available D855 20a. It's awesome :)
[G3 General] ucraiova88:
Did you do a clean install?also i saw on antdoidauthirity that now we can flash a rar file that is a rooted android 5.i might try that one but i will wait a bit more to see if LG will send the OTA in Poland like we heard
[G3 General] DonnyR:
yup - clean install.

Flashed V19H yesterday night and V20A this morning.

There is a rooted version now that still allows you to keep the old Bump-d bootloader but I was too lazy to downgrade and reinstall everything again (for the 3rd time in 24 hrs). Will give that a try in the next days.
[G3 General] kraven001:
the 20a is still not 100%, still things out there, maybe this is how its going to be released but there are some minor annoyances:

* alarm bugs (or some strange behaviours)

* branding is gone (not that I mind that :P)

* some apps crash here and there

* overall inconsistency between lollipop and the lg kit kat look (maybe they will work more in cleaning that up)

however this works, and seems the fastest ever (maybe due to the clean flash).
[G3 General] tudorbaros:
Can someone give me a link for kdz vodafone version romania?Or maybe a link to a site with kdz files to find it myself.Thank You
[G3 General] feribalint:
Hi guys,

Watch this topic for some time, I think it's time to introduce myself. My name Feri and are in Timisoara. I have a G3 version with 16GB golden. I purchased the phone with 430 euro in Germany from Mediamarkt. We awarded a wirelles charger.

My phone is root and install TWRP. Yet are still on the kit kat, but beat me and I thought to install lollipop.

How about this ROM?

[G3 General] levelik:
It seems that LG has stopped the OTA Update for all countries on V20D - the firmware link is still active but most probably since this is a build 5.0 ( LRX21R ) they will push V20E/F with the latest 5.0.1 ( LRX22C )

[G3 General] razvan06:
Hi guys!

I'm on 20A for quite some time now and had no major issues but some (maybe.. network-related) network drops, who knows!?

Just wanted to ask, since I'm not sure that I understood correctly, the KDZ's... and to be more specific the 20D, they should work for the 32GB D855 with no issues, right? As long as it is for the international version, of course.

Sorry if this is a newb question, but I did not tweak too much with LG's before.

BTW, nice to see so many G3 adopters in RO :)

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 05:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 AM ----------

Yep, it really is the fastest one up to date (will install 20D tomorrow and let you know).

About those apps that keep crashing... for me it was caused by two things:

1. I wanted to test out the new version (coming from 10I) w/o wiping data - that failed a bit;

2. Not all apps are optimized for v5.x and especially for ART at the moment.

I had no major bugs until now, besides network lock and some overheating - bare in mind that I removed the temperature settings form the service menu :D
[G3 General] dancrow:
I'm on v20a also having wifi drops signal. I think it's a big in this version
[G3 General] kraven001:
Rocking 20D since yesterday. The system gets polished by every version. Everything seems to be working just fine.

My only nitpick is the fact that it still looks like kit kat - would have loved seeing redesigned nav buttons, status bar icons and generally icons :)
[G3 General] razvan06:
Soo... i suppose that it's safe to flash this sucker on a 32GB version, yay or nay?:confused:
[G3 General] kraven001:
20D works just fine on a 32gb G3, so go ahead and update if you fancy :)
[G3 General] razvan06:
Thanks a bunch!

Just wanted to check before flash... not to brick anything :)
[G3 General] aionita:
20D works fine

Have been using 20A since it first appeared. Build LRX21P on a g3 d855 32gb. Now i have moved to 20D build LRX21R (dirty update over 20a)

There are some points which are improved and others a bit worse:

Battery much better compared to 20A

Phone now heats up faster

Home screen apps not loaded when unlocking phone more often compared to 20A

Overall performance slightly better than 20A

No random restarts so far
[G3 General] 30adi:
Hi all, i am new LG user, coming from Samsung S3. Phone buyed from cel.ro. It's not romanian version, comes from Northern Countries. So far all good, i am waiting for lollipop update :)

32 gb version
[G3 General] razvan06:
Moved to 20D too for the past day.

-dirty flash;

-better battery life;

-smoother and no more 4G issues;

-overheating issues fixed and I have the temp props off;

-no random reboots, neither on 20A;

-homescreen lag fixed;

Maybe you should do a factory reset or two since I had to do this several times when I flashed 20A to get it to work properly.

---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 PM ----------

I recomend flashing 20D firmware as it is verry good and you get the official lollipop ROM.

It won't even void the warranty as you do not have to unlock bootloader, plus you still get OTA's afterwards :D
[G3 General] pit5bul:
honestly... coming from a nexus 5 with lollipop... the LG G3 lollipop theme is looking more like kitkat than lollipop. i feel like going back to the nexus 5 , its so much smoother , if i could live with the nexus 5 battery life - witch sucks !! I hate the lg g3 lock screen notifications.. you cant just click it and get to the app .. you need to slide .. its stupid... if you ever used a nexus 5 with lollipop... you would know what i mean !!
[G3 General] 30adi:
1 week since i got this phone, too early for flashing other roms. Have to get used to it first :)
[G3 General] razvan06:
Well, there aren't that many changes in the UI, just the performance.
[G3 General] drdrs:
Hi guys, do you how to increase the size of facebook widget from 4x2 to 5x2?
[G3 General] dancrow:
Use other launcher (Nova or Apex for example) that the stock one, so you can resize any widget as you want.
[G3 General] drdrs:
Thank you, anyway. I was thinking it is one metod for stock launcher and I didnt find it. I have phone for two days. Nova is my preffered launcher for my early phones.

Thank you.

Trimis de pe al meu LG-D855 folosind Tapatalk
[G3 General] razvan06:
Nope, the only other way would be to replace the stock Launcher with a modified version of it so you can have re-sizable widgets, like on the One M7.

Other than that, you can only use a 3rd party Launcher, as previously instructed :)
[G3 General] razvan06:
Hey guys,

Made a quick screenshot after some days with the battery results for this version (20D) and posted it here to give you an idea on how this works out.

Things look pretty good until now, but there can be some improvement.

EDIT: After creating this post I'm at 44% battery.

Please note:

-No plug charges until now, only connected to PC once in a while to copy files and perhaps got another 2-5% plus charge so if you want you can subtract another 2-5% from the remaining percentage;

-4G/Data is active 100% of the time;

-Location is enabled on battery saving mode 100% time;

-Play services are enabled, as you can see;

-Listening to music for 2-3 hours until now - using PowerAmp;

-Played games for about 1-1.5 hours until now;

-Web browsing - Chrome;

-Facebook;

-Whatsapp;

-Calling;

-Disabled all apps that I do not use or find useful;

-Screen brightness always at 45%;

Bugs found or fixes:

-Still get that annoying led bug, but meh... you can disable/enable it and it will blink normally.

-4G/Data/Network loss is now gone - I can make calls w/o having to restart device or go to airplane mode;

-Overheating issues... they are there but not quite, it's better tough;

-Cannot see any changes in over-sharpening, maybe I'm wrong;

Hope it helps you in any way :)
[G3 General] kraven001:
I don't know what games you play, but for me with gaming if I get 1 hour + of screen on time I would declare myself happy.

I keep sync on and apps syncing so that might be my issue, but either way, once you turn on the screen all hell breaks loose and you can watch the battery drop with your own eyes.
[G3 General] razvan06:
Ah... Forgot to mention that sync is on as well.

I have a pretty long list of games like Asphalt 8, GTA3, Real Racing 3, Plants vs Zombies and Need For Speed - Most Wanted as most played and others.
[G3 General] dancrow:
Are you using stock or custom ROM?
[G3 General] razvan06:
Stock 20D.
[G3 General] aionita:
Update

I come with an update after 1 week of 20D:

Battery is still better than 20A

Phone heat up is not faster than 20A. It is about the same

Home screen apps not loaded when unlocking phone is less than with 20A. I think the system needed to fix some points. After restarting the phone a few times, from normal reasons, this issue is almost gone.

1% issue due to cold weather (happened on all my Android phones so far since Galaxy Nexus) --> phone sometimes freezes when used in cold weather: touchscreen not responsive and i need to restart.

On a different topic cannot wait for LG G4. I am not happy with the battery of the G3. I am coming from a G2 and the battery was much better there (my guess is that the screen takes a lot more battery)
[G3 General] razvan06:
Well, remember that the G3 is the fist from a major manufacturer to have a QHD screen, so in my opinion this is a test phone... Sad, but true.

But still better at battery life than most devices, so I'm happy with it.
[G3 General] Mishoo86:
Hey, guys!

I bought a G3 (3Gb RAM) 2 weeks ago from mobiletrend.ro.

My last version is 10L and i think the phone is imported from Italy.

Until now i had no problems, no lag or forced restarts, the Android experience is

very smooth and the battery seems to be pretty good: non stop WiFi or 4G connection, location ON, automatic luminosity, 2 hours of music and 3 hours browsing, 2 hours gaming (Injustice/Candy Crush/Two Dots) and still 10-15% at the end of the day.
[G3 General] Commandox:
Hey, guys, today new version appeared for our phones, its D85520E_00.kdz for Vodafone Romania, don't know how we still don't have an official OTA update from vodafone but this actually seems to be the real deal, found on a koreean forum that posts absolutly every update for LG G3 the day that appears. The link is official LG link so it's the real deal, I've checked other links that lead to different 20E builds and for every country its a different link, so it's not only an copy paste of the link, its real vodafone romania version.

Here's the link http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW9BRPVE022NAX045560S86/D85520E_00.kdz

I have a question since coming from all those HTC's I'm not really sure about this... I know that HTC use that CID in order to receive updates (faster or slower), now, if I flash a UK ROM for this one does the region change as well or is that info in a different partition?
[G3 General] 30adi:
Region will probably change. I am coming from Samsung, they use this. May be same thing. I think Samsung and LG use same method for updates: country code. My phone is from Norway, i did not receive Lollipop update. Country code ANEU
[G3 General] razvan06:
...and again, reportedly "LG G3 Lollipop update spreads to more European countries" - Romania included.

It seems that by the end of the week the 5.0 OTA will hit (international version).
[G3 General] kraven001:
I flashed a bunch of KDZ (the european ones seem to be the same) files and seen no region change. The phone is identified by the IMEI as in which region it is and gets OTA updates accordingly (and OTAs are intended from an official version to the next).

To simplify things, if you were on 10L, and patiently waited, you will get the 20E OTA; however if you flashed a kdz (like 20A, 20C, 20D) then you need to flash the new version because there will be no OTA from 20X to 20E for your specific IMEI.
[G3 General] juvenilevoodoo:
update on orange

hey, flash question: any news on OTA for orange devices ?
[G3 General] razvan06:
I will have to test this since I don't believe any OEM would do this to their customers. Since it is a stock ROM and your bootloader is locked, I do not see any issues in receiving the latest update via OTA even tough you have a test/other region software installed.

Also, based on http://lg-firmware-rom.com/ my device is still on 10L so I will keep checking for updates on both phone and site. Once the update is shown on either one, I will come back and confirm if what you say is true or not.

**keeping fingers crossed**
[G3 General] kraven001:
I beg to differ, nobody wants to create upgrade packages from versions they don't support. OTAs are intended from one specific version to another specific version - because they include only things that need to be updated and test that update path.
[G3 General] razvan06:
Coming from HTC, I know that the upgrade works even tough you have a test/other region ROM.

I'll wait and reply to this just to be on the safe side.
[G3 General] kraven001:
OTAs are intended to go from specific version to specific version. My point is, you will be able to OTA to 20E if you are on the original version supported by that OTA (most likely 10L).
[G3 General] razvan06:
This LG update business may be even more of a hassle than thought.

Well, judging by your reply, in case no update hits my device by the end of the week, I should be safe (for future updates) to flash the latest 20E and go from there.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy access:
Hello everybody,

I have ran into lot of issues in my Samsung Galaxy S3 I-9300. I bought it from UK(unlocked) two years ago.

The issue started with the recharge issues. It shows as it is charging but it doesn't charge and some times the battery suddenly increases by 30-50% on phone restart. And then one day I started encountering phone restart issue. I started losing files that I had copied or created during those times on my external SD card. I once saw that I had android robot fallen with red exclamation mark in the recovery screen. And then one day my phone won't go ahead of Samsung logo so I did a factory reset. After factory reset I thought everything will be fine but still I had few issues so I installed Kies and did a firmware upgrade from the Samsung site. But the recovery robot was still down with red exclamation mark. I thought rooting will help me in fixing it so I rooted the phone but no help. I finally installed stock recovery from odin and it fixed it. Everything looked fine. But I still had files getting deleted from SD card and phone auto restart issue. And recharging issue resurfaced as well and I was not able to recharge from wall charger. I had to switch off my mobile and recharge it from USB cable. I keep it overnight for approx. 8-9 hours at a stretch ans still charging would be around 60-70%. Yesterday my phone restarted on its own and now its getting stuck at Galaxy logo screen. Its not even going to Samsung screen. I can't go to recovery mode but I can still go to download mode. I tried installing stock recovery firmware today from odin and it failed. I can install stock image from odin but I want some solution as I can't keep on doing it again and again.

P.S: I did factory reset twice and after factory reset every time I restart few old applications were getting installed automatically which I had not selected.

Please help me guys.

Update:

Tried flashing stock recovery and stock rom. Nothing worked. Have took capture of the ODIN screen to give more clear idea. Thanks.
