i updated from 4.4 as well via pc tool, OTA said im already on latest. 20E seems to be stable till now, no issue, may be Battery needs more improvement. it killed 8% in standby while i was sleeping for 8 hours.
[G3 General] sabret00the:
Anyone know how to expand notifications?
[G3 General] motoralbi:
You can expand them with two fingers,like on kitkat
[G3 General] sabret00the:
It's not been working for me, but I'll try again. I have no idea why LG like to interfere with the notification drawer. They actually specialise in failure there.
[G3 General] motoralbi:
It's a bit more difficult than in kitkat,but it's still working. You have to:

-swipe up the notification you want to expand or decrease,pressing on it

-swipe up with two fingers,pressing on it.

This worked with mine
[G3 General] manups4e:
i hate more then that the fact that they didn't update their interface to lollipop material
[G3 General] sabret00the:
Thanks, I'll check again when I get a phone call, but I'm finding when I'm on the phone that if the phone call is the second notification, I can't expand it.

I honestly can't work out why they decided to keep their old navigation bar, it means that switching keyboards doesn't always work. They decided to remove search from settings too.
[G3 General] manups4e:
Well i don't know maybe they're waiting someone to fix it
[G3 General] nk7600:
One thing i dont like... Is if you have it on silent i.e. The Do Not Disturb. It also slients the alarm. Something which made me late for work. So I now have to leave it on vibrate.
[G3 General] ziggyboy:

Hi.. How much are you paying per month for your G3 in South Africa?

EDIT : 1 more question mate :) ... What sort of network are you getting? 4G or just 3G for now?
[G3 General] tabenf:
Hi i pay about R400 pm cell c contract i get really ****y 3g network for the last couple of months with cell c its barely usable with full h signal i mostly use adsl at home for net these days!!! You thinking of getting one?
[G3 General] Showtek1980:
Are you restricted to data? What's your data bundle like? ..I have one already.. I'm in South Korea but when I visit home I would like to know what speed I can expected..LOL.. I pay roughly about R800/month for unlimited data and calling.

BTW..If you're waiting for Android Lollipop.. wait longer than expected.. I haven't received Android 5 just yet.. I guess it's up to my phone service provider to send out the update :)
[G3 General] tabenf:
Yea thats for like 1Gb data some sms and free minutes lol depends where u stay in sa u might get better speeds cellc only has 4g in cpt and i think pretoria not sure bring some of that 4g signal back home hahaha
[G3 General] Showtek1980:
1GB data? WTF can you do with 1GB? OMG !!!! If I could hotspot to you..i would gladly do so ..lol ! oh well.. at least you can enjoy your G3 on wifi :) i wonder why they chose just CT for 4g access..that's horrible! :crying::confused:

Lollipop is working perfectly here, yesterday i was running Ingress for 2 hours (online game + gps) and only lost 35%

Running 20e firmware
[G3 General] Huck33:
Hi

running stock 20E, and i need confirmation that it's still not possible to write to external SDcard?

I used SDfix with KK, but what solution can i use for lollipop?

i even not able to remove some videos on the sdcard

thanks for your answer.

edit :

my mistake.

issue comes from ES explorer
[G3 General] bazglen:
Running v20e here and i have to say. I wasn't impressed with lollipop to begin with, battery was shocking. I did a hard reset like some others suggested and after a few days it seems to have settled down again.

Took it off charge at 6.30am yesterday and put it on charge again just after midnight with 34% left and 3 hrs 5 mins screen on time! Im pretty impressed now tbh
[G3 General] primax79:
Is there any way to downgrade to kitkat? The g3 with lolllypop is worst than my old samsung g2, the lag is patetic, the battery drains in some hour, i was using the map navigator with a 2 ampere charger plugged in and the battery slowly uncharged, i've lost the root so i can't use adb over wifi debug my apps, when i switch between apps the one in background is often killed,

There is no improvment excepting for the material design buttons inside the apps, but now the phone works like a 100 € 3 years old samsung

[G3 General] meyerweb:
You'll need to use the LG Flashtool to install the stock KitKat ROM specific to your version of the phone. Note that this will completely wipe your phone, so back up anything you care about first.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785089

But before you do that try a factory reset on Lollipop. That seems to solve the battery and lag issues for most people.
[G3 General] Marcovanbasten:
And of course you did not make a reset factory, right ?
[G3 General] TheKv:
Getting V20F OTA update

It's small update (12.84mb)
[G3 General] primax79:
Of course i did.

First day it was almost ok.

Then it started getting worst and in 5 days it's almost like before the reset

I dont want to make a reset every 3 days to have a decent phone

Tonight when my girlfriend will get aslept i'll try to downgrade

Just got 20f in Switzerland today (before 20e on Dec 15.)
[G3 General] TheSkyline35:
Seriously I don't know what I can do for my LG G3, stock ROMs and based stock ROMs still laggy in some situations, stock launcher all the time redraw and other launcher aren't fluid as the stock.

And Cm12 ROMs loose quick circle and camera quality.

I'm really disappointed to buy a expansive phone and can't get smooth :(
[G3 General] primax79:
Just updated to 20f, lets see if they fixed all the problems

Today it was patetic, i was trecking with my girlfriend

I started the runtastic gps tracking in both my lg g3 lollypop and in her lg g2. My phone switched off after 4 hours of tracking and pictures, her one was 65%

Ps i switched off internet data to sabe battery, her one was on

[G3 General] Dark Fear:
totally agree with you.. and strange is when we're talking about smoothness n lag issue, nobody (even devs)

takes it serious.. they think g3 is smooth.. somewhere i whished g3 was smoother and then ppl hated me for saying that..!

i hope lg fix this issue in g4 and we get g4 port :P
[G3 General] TheSkyline35:
I hope too.

Lg g2 of my father is faster and smoother...it's not normal ^^
[G3 General] dandavid3000:
For those who use F460 may check upgrade with LG PC suite, the newest firmware is V20c :D:D

Happy new year guys !
[G3 General] adamelphick:
Just got 20f in UK. Unbranded 32gb on three.
[G3 General] AndroidAsylum:
I dont understand why, if a dev is making a custom rom for a phone, why not bring its main features accross? Like quick circle and knock code i basically have only ever used knock code to unlock my g3 and it is the only reason i dont sqitch over to custom roms. Would love to but i dont qant to lose knock code (awsome feature IMO).. Are there any good roms that keep this feature?
[G3 General] cubic25:
It's not. My Nexus was way faster and smoother. My sisters G2 is way faster and smoother. Hell, my friends M7 is faster and smoother.

I'm currently on HD 8.0. I only flashed it hoping that I would be able to regain the speed I had with the N5. It's not like you can ignore it. It is noticeably slower than any other flagship phone out at the moment, and probably slower and laggier than any 2013 flagship aswell.

I'm not sure why nothing seems to be getting done about it, when it is such a glaringly obvious issue.

Has anyone flashed Resurrection? Is the issue still persistent? If so, what's causing it?
[G3 General] ianis022:
Also received 20f update in Romania, right after de midnight, but i don't know what are the changes. Anyone have an ideea?
[G3 General] TheSkyline35:
I have used Resurrection during one week, really more smooth but not really faster. And we loose quick circle, knock code, camera quality...

So I'm back on stock, but still so laggy and slow, I can't understand why lg can't do it better.
[G3 General] scgf:
My LG G3 is not laggy at all, feels just the same as my Nexus 5. Any stutter in scrolling in, say, Chrome has gone with Lollipop. I did a full flash of 20c which wiped my device, then did incremental flash upgrades of 20d, 20e and 20f. No issues at all - apart from the screen coming on and staying on when charging wirelessly when the battery is full.

I do use Nova Launcher, but tried Google Launcher too - both as smooth as each other.
[G3 General] TheSkyline35:
For me Google launcher is not as smooth as the stock launcher. But the app drawer of the stock launcher has a strange "delay" time, looks slow.

I don't find any smooth launcher as the stock, but the redraw and the app drawer still a bad thing
[G3 General] Fantazmas:
I jus got 20f update. (Originally phone was Vodafone Spain branded)
[G3 General] pereira6david:
the latest version of androidnow 8.0 is smoother but not as smooth as my Nexus 4 with lollypop.

I'm a little bit disapointed to have a 2 year newer device but slower...
[G3 General] :
I'm really dissapointed with Lollipop and LG. No performance improvements, battery drains faster and they even removed my beloved QuickNote+ shortcut from the Google Now menu. So really, what's are the benefits of upgrading other than just the new icons and notification center?

I was on 20E and downgraded back to KK after reading about the 10o and yeah, that's the best firmware I have tested. My battery is lasting about 2 hours longer and it feels a lot smoother.

I believe the data encryption that is now turned on by default on Lollipop makes it even easier for it to lag. Idk, but I'm not going to try Lollipop again so soon.
[G3 General] dimanto:

[G3 General] TheSkyline35:
Next time I will come bacl on stock i will try Android HD v 8

Yes it really suck to buy a new phone who is less smooth and fast than my last phone...
[G3 General] cmzeno:
good point, so few answers

They've just gone. It's unbelievable! No more battery saving options with LG's Lollipop, highest level to start power saving 15%. I am waiting for a fix ASAP!
[G3 General] Benholder90:
Do you guys think the battery life will improve with future updates? 5.0.1 is supposed to be coming in feb i think? Another thing i miss after upgrading is the ability to use widgets on the lock screen i really liked that.
[G3 General] jimbobaggies:
Is there anyway to get rid of the quick circle on the lock screen with Lollipop?
[G3 General] rowbaggie22:
Hi I think there is an option in settings and display called quick circle turn it off see if that fixes it
[G3 General] jimbobaggies:
I have it turned off in settings but you still have the quick circle clock.... with KK you had lockscreen widgets so you could remove the quick circle and replace it with the clock.

[G3 General] kraven001:
It is safe to assume that once we go aosp we will loose some of the features of the phone: camera and other tweaks, etc. But we will gain others: clean rom, speed, faster updates, vanilla experience, etc.

It's always a gamble with community roms (I remember the days of my Galaxy s1).
[G3 General] Semantics:
Probably Jan/Feb. I keep hearing how LG sucks at updates, and this was a major complain about Samsung a couple of years ago. I think LG is taking updates more seriously since the G2, in fact, I had KitKat on my G2 before HTC pushed it my wifes M7, but lets pretend that they are the worstest ever and say we won't get Lollipop, we'll have to wait for the G4.
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
You are right with the carriers they can slow things down, but not always. As for release for the inter nation unbranded versions I still expect everyone to be pleasantly surprised with the speed of release.
[G3 General] ipguy:
even if they release L, they are going to hide all its beauty !
[G3 General] hashcheck:
I think LG is far from hiding stock Android compared to Samsung... I think this time around on all manufacturers we are going to see a more similar gui experience
[G3 General] ChrisM75:
This has been covered before. There is no point in OEMs using 4.4.3 or 4.4.4. 4.4.2 can be patched with Googles security patches (or the OEM can add their own version), which is what LG does. Nothing else in the later versions is of any use at all to anything but specific Nexus devices. Its not even clear that Samsung and HTC use real 4.4.4, which would have to have the Nexus specific fixes removed.

LG has actually been very good at updating the G2, its now on the latest 4.4.2 with patches, running newer versions of some security updates than the Nexus devices. The latest version is V20G, which is about the 14th update in 13 months.
[G3 General] lossah:
That's features I'm really gonna miss. I'm not even sure if I wanna run something else without knock on.
[G3 General] walidsaoudi:
I completely agree with you, even if LG comes with lollipop upgrade, the only thing that will change is the build number, they will keep all their useless software, and you won't recognize the material design in their stile, I am waiting for the cyanogenmod 12 aswell,

If LG just take the original android and put it as it is on their phone they will sell more phones than now I think, waste of effort.

the other thing I do not like with Lg is the old fashion melodies they are using,
[G3 General] ChongoDroid:
I never said they'd model it after AOSP, what I did say is that "All the new look will likely be ignored and the UI will be the same as it is now" is most likely 100% inaccurate.

However you change your tune to "It will use the new animations, and some material, mainly the new notifications (but not fully) and recents menu, but LGs apps and the colour scheme will probably be largely unchanged." which is pretty likely.

Pretty big difference from "nothing will change" to "new notifications, new features, elements of material design, etc."

Yeah, LG will theme their OS... and?

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

Take a look at major revision changes, do you really think LG held on to design elements from Gingerbread when ICS came out? No, obviously not.

5.0 is a major change from 4.4

It's not like 4.4 from 4.3 or other small incremental updates where stuff as small as QS gets a refresh and OEMs don't bother pumping more resources into it.

From a business perspective and design perspective... that would make zero sense.

---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------

Personally as someone who's only enjoyed vanilla Android, I like what they've done. It could be smoothed out a bit, but I think ART and the enhancements in Lollipop will cover that.

[G3 General] csassine1:
LG announced that for the G3 it will be out by the end of the year! Screenshots leaked of it, LG kinda ruined it
[G3 General] sabret00the:
There is absolutely no need for toggles in the notification drawer, they're using ICS/JB/KitKat navigation icons and their icon set doesn't fit Lollipop either. They needed to realise that less is more.
[G3 General] csassine1:
they need to realise that people fell in love with 5.0 for its design, as well as features. there is no need to take the design away and drop their clunky, ugly rom on it
[G3 General] sabret00the:
OEMs struggle to realise that people don't differentiate them based on how their software looks, but rather how their phone looks and what features they add. The stuff they added to the notification drawer in KitKat was so badly developed that the preference to hide the sliders only kicks in once you pull down the drawer. Knock On is a great feature. The stuff they done to the camera is great, everything else is a waste of time.
[G3 General] tron192:
Its not up to LG when we will get the update. Its up to your provider to release it. Look at the galaxy nexus mess with sprint and verzion. Verizon especially. They got to bloat it. Test it. Bloat it some more. Then release it 9 months later
[G3 General] Benholder90:
The quick circle settings refers to the quick circle case by lg. It has nothing to do with the circle clock on the lock screen. On kitkat you could change it and add a widgets of your choice but you can not do that on lollipop. I also dont like it and i liked it that widgets couls be used on lock screen

After initially being quite positive after a reset im back to square one with battery life! Going to try another reset tomorrow to see if it helps again!

EDIT Just flashed back to KK. I don't know whats going on with Lollipop. Battery life was poor at first but a reset did seem to have the desired effect, getting well over 3hrs screen on time and over 30% left. Unfortunately since then it's all gone back again. I'll wait for the next update to see if they sort out the battery problems.
[G3 General] schaggo:
Brand new to LG so I'm a bit puzzled, speaking of my experience with all other major manufacturers. There are no bumped flashable KitKat zips around? So the only way to go back from bumped Lollipop on LG/G3 is to fully and completely downgrade using a pc terminal and the respective software and firmware images? That's odd, what is the custom recovery used for then? :confused:

(Or is bump newer than the latest KitKat so no bumped KitKat was actually ever made?)
[G3 General] motoralbi:
Hmmm,kitlat bumped versions are avaiable somewhere...you also need to flash kitkat modem...

Personally i haven't ever tried to downgrade by flashing a kitkat bumped rom+the kitkat modem,i don't know if it works(however it should work...),ask in the bumped ROM thread...

Using flashtools is the most direct way to downgrade...

There are a number of bumped KitKat ROMs available, including stock, stock-based, and AOSP-based. Look in the development sections of this forum, and on Google+.

If you're already rooted, you can install them through TWRP. The advice to use Flashtool to revert to KitKat is for people who took the Lollipop OTA and lost (or never had) root.
