I went to settings and checked for software update. I think it depends on not only your carrier but also where your phone was actually supposed to be sold... 32gb ones were not UK phones officially - so probably the update was from another European country. Definitely only this morning though as I tried last thing last night and no update was available then. So maybe the unbranded ones have started today?
[G3 General] mrmooa:
uk unbranded 16gb just got my update ,had to go to update app and check
[G3 General] Benholder90:
Ok, well just have to wait. I have checked the same way and no update. As i said before mine came from hong kong so who knows?? What was your software version before?

Hello all,

Just got my lollipop update, but my LG g3 is still showing the old kit kat home buttons...

Anybody got the buttons?

the Answer I got from LG Benelux

this is the message I got today when I asked about the roll out for lollipop in Netherlands from LG Benelux facebook Page:

"Hi, we do not have a date yet and we don't want to give you any false information. Keep an eye on the link below for news regarding the update: http://www.lg.com/nl/ondersteuning/ondersteuning-bericht

seems like it's gonna get some time to see the lollipop on LG G3 purchased in Netherlands :(

[G3 General] GaberOn:
Hello everyone,

just got the update to lollipop v20e on my no brand g3, purchased in Italy. Must say it's pretty the same experience so far, but there's one thing I dislike: they seem to have eliminated that useful function to which you had access by swiping from the bottom of the screen, to open quickmemo+ and voicemate.

Do someone know how to get it back?! I find it pretty useful!

Thanks!

[G3 General] DreyG:
I'm still undecided whether or not I should upgrade to this V20e-DEC-03-2014 coming from V10I-EUR-XX. Are there any improvements, because there is not much information (battery life, UI speed improvements etc) out there about this new update. Share your experiences guys :cyclops:

Just wondering bout everyones battery on lollipop because ive been on battery bout 22 minutes and its used about 10 percent is that good or bad battery usually lasts a day anyone got longer if so how
[G3 General] RaDi:
Just to be clear,

If I update to Android 5, I cant root at all? or I can but I have to go back to kitkat ??
[G3 General] sabret00the:
You need to flash the zip from recovery.
[G3 General] DreyG:
Seems about right because LG G3 has been reported to do 4-5 hours or 240-300 in minutes of screen time. Your phone is doing 22min of screen time using 10 percent of the battery, that equates to a total of 220 minutes. What do you have the brightness setting on? :highfive:

By the way other than battery life do you feel any other speed improvement with the update i.e. the user interface scrolling etc?
[G3 General] rowbaggie22:
Hi thanks for the reply but sometimes there lag like when i click messages and my brightness is on auto at 20 %

[G3 General] iBolski:
I love the lockscreen notifications. Just double tap on the notif, and it will launch into the app directly from there. I had LP on my XT926 and I miss that particular piece of it.

But, for now, I don't have a need to go to LP with my G3. It runs fine on the latest KK update for my model (VS985). I'll just wait until LP comes out officially for the VS985.

On 20d worth upgrading?

Hello

My phone was completely stock until a couple of weeks ago when I upgraded manually to 20d via the Lg flash tool (still completely stock, just with newer firmware than LG had officially issued!). I have never been happier with the phone, so much smoother that previous software versions.

My question is, Is it worth me upgrading to 20e? Is this better than 20d?

Any advice from people who have upgraded from d to e will be appreciated.

Thanks

James
[G3 General] GuyInTheCorner:
I know :/

Sucks that I can't install it (sending it back for a factory replacement, due to cracks on the IR Blaster and bottom microphone) but I look forward to installing it on a fresh device! :D
[G3 General] maschenazi:
As far as I know there are no more lockscreen widgets on Lollipop, so nothing is messed, just how Google intended it to be.
[G3 General] rowbaggie22:
About the double tap on lock screen to open things well mine wont do that if i double tap it does nothing i have to tap it once then swipe undernear is that same for everyone else

[G3 General] düdldihüü:
Well, since the update my Miracast is broken. It just won't work. Some other things aren't working perfectly as well but that's ok for me. The Miracast bug, however, really annoys me. Does anybody else have this problem? Is it G3 specific or a general Android 5 problem?

I'm running the D855, stock ROM, no root. Trying to connect to a Sony KDL-55W805b (which worked flawlessly with Android 4.4.2) within a 5 GHz network. Funny thing is, that Miracast somehow seems to break the WIFI connection, as, after a failed attempt connecting to my TV, I'm still in the WIFI network but without connection to the internet. I have to manually switch WIFI off and on for it to work again.

Should this be its own thread? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[G3 General] rowbaggie22:
Well since the upgrade to lollipop ive had a few force home closes and wen opening the messaging app it lags

also odd thing is other day had a few notications on lock screen and can't remember exact wording but caption wasnt diplayed like wunt say what the notification was odd went back to normal tho
[G3 General] N_Face:
Hi guys does anyone know where can I find 20E stock Rom? Just want to install it over HD one
[G3 General] bodziec:
Hey.

On my 20C i just single tap the notification. If I use Swype lock screen then it just opens the app. Other way I have to provide pattern/code and then it opens the app. So looks to be working all ok
[G3 General] Benholder90:
I dont generally see anything that is better so far? And some things are now not as good imo. You can no longer use widgets on lock screen, i dont see why that should be taken out? In the apps section in settings usually there is a bar at the bottom which displays device memory, that is no longer there, why? And the task manager screen was better before imo. Is this all the same for all of you?
[G3 General] kiz84:
Erm, if you swipe across a few times to the "Running" tab, you will see a nice little graphic of memory usage? Is this what you mean?
[G3 General] GuyInTheCorner:
For anyone experiencing any bugs, try a factory reset. It'll generally iron out any bugs.
[G3 General] Benholder90:
I know you can do that but no its not what i mean. Before at the bottom of the apps page would be a bar displaying memory on all android devices i believe? But not there anymore. I attached a pic showing what i mean, on the left pic at the bottom
[G3 General] kiz84:
Ah yeah I know what you meant, just thought that this thing accomplished the same feat :)
[G3 General] Benholder90:
Well actually it doesnt even accomplish the same feat as that is showing the ram usage not the phones memory usage. I dont get why they would take that out completely pointless
[G3 General] skhamsala:

Any idea folks, when would India get the update ?

Hi guys,

Received Christmas gift from LG yesterday.

Now I need to find how to re reroot it. First time was very easy, used some purple team 1 click tool if I remember correctly. I hope it will be the same this time :p
[G3 General] theador0691:
Does anyone know how to have it on the LG G3 so when you see a notification on the lockscreen, you can just tap it to open the app rather than tapping then having to swipe?

Strange thing wen i had a notification in lockscreen it said content hidden what that mean it was an email and the google weather app

Why do we not have new lollipop home touch buttons? Do other phones have it? Doesnt seem like theres much good with lollipop so far? Theyve taken things out which were good and havent really added anything good?
[G3 General] rowbaggie22:
Hi thanks for reply ive already got it set on show all notifications but for other one trust agent is greyed out and think it said i need a secure unlock or something

Also another thing ive got weather ticked for lock screen but it dont show any weather at all or is it just me
[G3 General] alan sh:
My upgrade happened last night. I have to be honest - I don't see what all the fuss about Lollipop is. It seems to be much the same as the previous version apart from irritating me with messages on my lock screen (but I think I've stoppped it thanks to the previous reply)

Alan
[G3 General] jaggysnake:
had mine running 20e now for 24 hours and i like it....the phone is much smoother and doesnt stutter, i had a bug with the recent apps that meant it wouldn't show the apps all the time and they seam to have fixed that. as for battery i have not noticed a difference really

i like the new notifications there alot like ios and that IMHO is not a bad thing
[G3 General] alan sh:
I'm stil wondering what the big deal with Lollipop is. I've also got it on my Nexus 10 and, apart from looking a bit simpler (material design), it doesn't seem to give me any extra "wow" features. The LG G3 is even "worse" as, to me, it looks and feels just like Kit-Kat (the LG overlay does this, I assume).

So, go on - impress me - what's the big selling point?

Alan
[G3 General] tim84us:
yes u need to set up a pin or passcode first - the smart lock is only of use if you are ALREADY using a password to protect your phone

Re weather: lollipop doesnt not support lock screen widgets so you wont be able to have that anymore - use google now with weather cards notifications enabled to have weather on lockscreen
[G3 General] rowbaggie22:
Ohhh ok but I've already got google weather enabled but still not on lock screen unless I'm doin something wrong only thing I see is clock and apps at bottom

[G3 General] meyerweb:
Lollipop makes TouchWiz look good!

Ugh! The more I see of Lollipop the less hurry I'm in to get it.

Functionally it may be great, but visually it is an ugly mess. Too many hideously bright colors, too many mismatched, incompatible colors on single screens, and ugly, cartoonish icons. The visual design looks like it was done by a kindergarten class. Duarte does great functional design, but his color sense is so bad I think he must be color blind. But what would you expect from someone who wears these shirts.

Hopefully, by the time Lollipop gets to my G3, there will be half-way decent themes available for it.
[G3 General] if4ct0r:
Talk about Touchwiz & bad color sense... Look at Matias' shirts! Wow.

I consider Matias Duarte to be a god when it comes to UX & design, but seriously, someone tell him that his shirts need some serious Material Design! :P

I have to completely disagree. It feels a lot more modern. To much of what we see (skylines, etc) have been taken hostage by draconian and muted colors. It's time we have some fun with design.

[G3 General] transfo47:
I agree about his shirts, but I absolutely adore material's colors, so we shall agree to disagree.
[G3 General] ChrisM75:
A lot of Materials problem at the moment is the wallpapers used in the screenshots. The stock ones are, as usual, horrible. With a more tasteful wallpaper Material itself looks a lot better.

However as has been said, LG will probably use a different pallet anyway.
[G3 General] DiamondJay20:
While I hear LG has previously been bad on software updates, I'm gonna bet we get Lollipop in Dec or January given how much they've changed their Android strategy. I mean the G2, which I doubt sold as well as the G3 has been selling, got KitKat. It makes sense in the past, before the G2, with the Optimus, the Phoenix, and the second rate phones they had back in 2010-2012 that back then, software updates weren't a priority. They wanted to break into the value market; now they are going for the upscale market.

But hell, even without 5.0, their software SMOKES Samsung. The Note 4, like all other Samsung Galaxys I've tried, has lag, no scrolling wallpaper, an awful homescreen layout, etc.
[G3 General] AC5L4T3R:
Can anyone explain to me why Manufacturers don't release the Android updates as soon as they're available? I mean, you're selling a flagship device, but it doesn't even come with the latest OS.

You wouldn't buy a brand new i7 from Asus/Acer/Dell etc with Windows XP on it would you?
[G3 General] natalya:
Cause they have to integrate their own UI, apps, features etc. which takes testing. OEMs can here just say that testing and making everything fully work is what takes time.

With computers, its just install few programs that are kinda plug and play. Doesnt take long to install Chrome or whatever on your pc, right? :)

And asus/acer etc have drivers coming in from Nvidia, Intel, Realtek etc. so nothing much to do really.

[G3 General] dondavis007:
We will see about what LG can do. It's maybe so that they are better now but frankly , I think they suck n lack pretty much when it comes to software.
[G3 General] Lennyuk:
the rollout of 5.0 will be the fastest we have seen - for all OEM's

1) Google want to reduce/destroy/forget about the fragmentation issues of the past

2) this has been a whole new way to announce an OS bump with lengthy preview windows during which all the companies would have had access to the code a very long time before release - something that never happened in the past.

3) Google want all 2013 and 2014 devices to run on 5.0.
[G3 General] :
I'm just going to wait for the AOSP Android Lollipop. It should be here much sooner.
[G3 General] mgbotoe:
We will have it in aosp form before lg release sometime mid of next year lol
[G3 General] DWilso3:
But we will be able to maintain some rather popular features in aosp, such as knock on (and knock code), laser auto focus, and possibly dual window or q-slide? I think that I would hesitate to jump due to the regularity with which I use those, and I expect a lot of people do as well. (Not that I won't try an AOSP rom, just that I am personally more inclined to a stock rom for regular usage).
[G3 General] xgman:
Is LG skipping 4.4.3 and 4.4.4? Seems like it. I can't even use the new L Messenger apk that will run on 4.4.4. It crashes on the G3 4.4.2. I'm disheartened with LG's lack of any concern for updates. I fully expect to see spec leaks of the G4 before any L is put out by LG or at least it's carriers. :mad:

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ----------

Sorry, I don't buy any of that. Google may want that, but the way the phone devs like LG and the like, then the carriers stall on this, I wouldn't expect this dream to ever come true. It may end up being Androids undoing if they don't figure out how to control this.
[G3 General] DreyG:
Switching between apps using multi tasking in the old kitkat I believe is much faster than the lolipop one.
[G3 General] düdldihüü:
Well, I was trying to avoid that. I don't really have the nerve to do that at the moment.

Could someone try if their Miracast is working under Lollipop?
[G3 General] Benholder90:
I agree. I think i actually like 4.4.2 better. It was fine and since upgrading my phone now stutters and seems to run a bit LESS smoothly?
[G3 General] alan sh:
I agree
[G3 General] Benholder90:
I see, other devices have had this update? Do you know when g3 will get it?

---------- Post added at 17:46 ---------- Previous post was at 17:40 ----------

I also agree, did anyone get any lollipop background with update?
[G3 General] iBolski:
Well, the KK way you are displaying is not the default, AOSP way of doing it in android. That is LG's take on it.

The old KK way was a single column that scrolled vertically AND it didn't have a "Clear All" button. You had to swipe them away, one by one.

The LP way is a different take on the KK way, but it's still a remove one by one affair, which is the actual default Android way.

What LG did under KK was enhance what a lot of custom ROMs (like Cyanogenmod) do, which is provide a "clear all" button to wipe away everything in one fell swoop. Plus, they put it into a grid layout format, rather than a single column (ala Kitkat) or a stacked deck (like you are seeing with LP).

I have to admit, I like the LG way in their KK implementation, but it appears going to LP, they decided to use the LP default standard, so I can see why that would be a shock to everyone.

Maybe LG wanted to try and be more stock Android as opposed to their interface? Not sure why they made that decision. Kind of strange. :confused:
