Flashed v20h and must admit loving the fluidity of the rom. Finally my phone feels like a proper flagship device. Pretty much all lag is gone!
[G3 General] cisco89:
How do you get that? What is your brightness level? I do not get more than 3 hour
[G3 General] 30adi:
Brightness 50 %

Normally i get 3,5 hours of screen on, with wifi allways on, and bluetooth conection with car for about 1 hour.

Depends on the installed apps, if they sync alot you will get your battery drained. Display is battery sucker.:)

3-3.5 hours is ok for me. You can't have everything. :)

I have some questions. Im with rogers d852 and they will probably release lollipop sometime this month but im not sure if i should upgrade for a number of reasons: 1. Can i even upgrade it while im rooted? 2. I have a modded camera with the 60fps FHD video recording. 3. no twrp installed.

Is it possible to upgrade while rooted? do i have to go back to the stock camera before updating? I dont want to brick this.
[G3 General] elmspace:
Updating to Lollipop

From what I understand you cant do a OTA update depending on you have rooted your device. To be 100% safe the best thing to do is to go back to the original LG software before trying to update. This mean using the image provided by LG to fully unroot your device and replace the boot-loader with the LG one. Of course you can try updating without doing the above, but then there is some risk of bricking your phone. There are step by step instructions on how to go back to stock LG on the web. I hope this helps :)
[G3 General] esimon311:
I was rooted. But did NOT have TWRP installed and I took the OTA update and it worked great...I lost root and all my root tweaks.. IE xposed and stuff like that..

If you have TWRP installed and try to take the OTA.. You will get stuck in a TWRP boot loop...

Lollipop Update Battery Problems

Hi,

Since I upgraded to Lollipop v20C-SEA, I have noticed that "Android OS" service eats a major chunk of my battery, sometimes even higher than "Screen". This was never the case with Kitkat. Has anyone else noticed this behaviour?

Thanks

Arpit
[G3 General] ilooze:
I guess we will get the 5.1 update instead of 5.0.1 and 5.0.2. LG did this with the first lollipop update too. The G3 was on 4.4.2 and it didn't get the 4.4.4 update because it got directly the 5.0. So I think we will get 5.1 instead. Be patient

[G3 General] darkshot:
Somebody has any notice about root for Android 5.0 pure stock?
[G3 General] meyerweb:
There are currently no root exploits for stock Lollipop on the G3. There's no way to really predict when, or even if, it will be rootable. As far as I know, Lollipop is going to be nearly impossible to root unless you can unlock the bootloader, and LG has prevented the previous bootloader unlock from working. So we need to hope someone figures out how to unlock the bootloader, and then that someone finds a root exploit for the ROM.

If you really want root, you're going to have to go back to KK for now.

Lollipop D802

For those who got the OTA for Lollipo (Rogers and Bell), let me know if it is any good. Any problems and such. Thanks and enjoy the Lollipop.
[G3 General] SickBeast:
It seems great! It's the newest 21y build, Android 5.0.1. So far I really like it. It seems significantly faster, especially when browsing complex websites in Chrome. When you update, it takes a really long time on the "LG" boot splash screen, but don't turn off your phone, it's normal. It took mine at least about 10 minutes on that screen and I was worried, but after awhile it moved on and everything was fine.

The display looks much clearer as well. I hear that they tweaked it for Lollipop.
[G3 General] elmspace:
Lollipop

Thanks for the reply. I really want to do the update, but I am kind of worried about the battery life, with Lollipop on G3. I have read mixed reviews. Once you get a better feel for the battery life, let me know. Thank You :)

D852 Lolipop update

I updated my G3 through LG PC suite today and it works great. Software version D85220C, Android version 5.0.1, Build LRX21Y. I am on Fido.
[G3 General] SickBeast:
I will tell you that so far today my battery life with Lollipop has been better than it was with Kit Kat. The reports of bad battery life were coming from the very early builds of Lollipop that they released before Christmas. The build that has been released in North America is much newer and from what I have read they have resolved the battery life issues.

Lollipop comes with the ART runtime and other enhancements which generally should boost battery life quite a bit. I think that there was a bug in the early revisions that LG has since fixed.
[G3 General] elmspace:

Awesome, thanks. I dont know if you had CM12 or custom ROM before, but do you know how it compares with those? Again, thanks for the info :)

Lollipop Battery Life

Overall battery life has been good for me (Sprint LS990 5.0.1). I can get roughly a day and a half of usage. My only complaint about battery life is that standby mode is just terrible when compared to Kitkat. I used to be able to not even lose even a percentage over night but now I lose several digits in airplane mode over night. Not sure if its because I have widgets running or not. I used greenify before I put my phone to sleep and everything as well.
[G3 General] SickBeast:
Yes it updates all the apps automatically. I have over 300 apps on my phone and it worked beautifully.
[G3 General] hlucky:
Thanks!

Now only remains to know if rooted with stock recovery can upgrade, I know you lose root..
[G3 General] SickBeast:
I wouldn't risk doing that. Wait for confirmation first.

By the way, guys, the SD card permissions are fixed in this update.
[G3 General] Elaner:
LG is bull****ing

So as I found the manufacturer of Nexus5 camera sensor is also Sony (Sony IMX179) so that's bull**** that they cant get third party (manufacturer ) support to make it work as they did witch IMX179. Also both use the same output format and the IMX179 cannot be that much younger that IMX135 because it entered market in January 2013, LG G2 was available from September 2013, and nexus5 from October. So if we consider production time and so on both sensors should be approximately same age, IMX179 possibly older/younger by month, maximum two.
[G3 General] gefilus:
You want to say that my old nexus 5 has newer chip then g3.? Thats kinda strange
[G3 General] envoys:
I was rooted with stock recovery and it would not accept the OTA update, 0x1117008 error i believe.

Plugged phone into PC and ran LG PC Suite and the update was installed perfectly fine.

So this is what I'll do I think, put the phone in DL mode, and run LG support software suite.

How u know what's ur source
[G3 General] zdravkodubravec:
I am weating for 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 or what would be the best is 5.1
[G3 General] Elaner:
That was not the important part of text.

If it would be newer by years it would be, but it is only few weeks at maximum - so that is not so strange (remember that G3 is equipped with same sensor as G2 which is older than N5 by two months). BUT THAT WAS NOT SO IMPORTANT, in what I wrote. The important thing was that THE MANUFACTURER OF N5 SENSOR AND G3/2 SENSOR IS SAME COMPANY. So answering to customer that its impossible to apply Camer2 API on G3 "because manufacturer bla bla bla", is bull****ting, because it was possible witch the same sensor manufacturer when it was all about N5. I think that reason it "was possible" witch N5 is that LG is probably obliged to apply anything that Google wish to implement on their device. And its not the same with anything else than Nexus line.
[G3 General] gefilus:
oo sorry didnt know when g3 uses same chip from g2 , i didnt know that! i think lg dont want to let figle with camera manualy, or google just wants only that on nexus devices

You can install it manually but Verizon hasn't rolled it out. My guess is that it's not the final version because it had some bugs on initial update but a factory reset took care of those issues.
[G3 General] chadhoard:
So it would be best to flash back to stock, root, custom recovery and flash a Lollipop ROM then.

Root?

Hi Friends,

Here's the rooting guide (Android Lollipop) for the D858HK.

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/guide-update-to-lollipop-root-bumpd-twrp-t3048845

Video tutorial is not yet done because I decided to write the steps in MS Word in as much detail as I can.

This is based from the procedure in [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION]'s thread of manually flashing the firmware. I just added an extra step from his tutorial to "bump" the boot.img and therefore, keep custom recovery (TWRP) as well.

For those with other LG G3 variants who want to try this, please do share your results, LG G3 variant, and Android version (5.0.1 or 5.0.2).

I agree. I was trying to learn how to "pre-root" a stock Lollipop firmware for the D858HK. For now, this is what I have. Not the most convenient, but better than nothing, I would say. :)
[G3 General] Nukedathlonman:
It updated some apps, any apps you have downloaded will stay. But I had issues with Google Play store and other things, and had to perform a hard reset to fix those issues. After all that, Lollipop has been pretty good. I haven't noticed any change in battery life, but I never had any issues with that. Only came across one glaring bug, I have Sunday and Monday both show up as the 9th this month (in the Calendar widget). Annoying, but it only effects the widget and not the app. I've checked other Lollipoped G3's and they have the same bug.

You have to downgrade bootloader for having twrp working.

Kernel and TWRP must be bumped for working with a KK bootloader.

There is no bypass security checker existing for booting kernel (and custom recovery) behind LP bootloader.

Just Bump! exist for now, and it works only with KK bootloader.

I documented two (2) approaches to achieving root + "bump'd" Lollipop boot.img + "bump'd" TWRP custom recovery:

"Kitkat Downgrade" approach

"No Downgrade" approach

Just read through the guides carefully and then try them. For your purposes I believe you will be interested in the "No Downgrade" approach, since you are referencing to the "new root method".

Hope this helps!

And this is bug from lolipop. To understand this you must work your gps for long time and you see some times lose the signal for seconds.

I restored back to KitKat and I await better lollipop version, which is no biggie, KitKat g3 official builds are awesome and imho the recents switcher is nicer.

Of course lollipop in principal seems a little faster, but it's not worth it for the new bugs it brings.

However when the new revisions of android arrive, it should be quite a tasty treat!
