It's great to see Lollipop on the G3, but I don't fully like LG's approach. Theres too much "old" LG KitKat-software beeing copied and pasted all over the new Android version. Old LG apps that were created for KitKat could use an update with the new fancyness of Lollipop. For example animations for menu dropdowns in LG apps are the old KitKat ones and notifications does not show up on the top of the screen the cool and useable way it does on stock Lollipop. Using volume rocker still gives an annoying "old-style" popup-window in the middle of the screen instead of a discrete one aligned to the top. It's sad but theres many Lollipop improvements and fancy animation styles that has been ripped out and replaced for the worse. I can just hope that LG are still in the works of changing this and bringing us a solid LG user interface that really feels "Lollipop" and fresh. CyanogenMod 12 is a cool option but personally I always return to stock thus it's more optimized and solid in the very end. I hope more users give their opinions about this to LG so we can have a nice future software experience!
[G3 General] scgf:
I agree, but if you use Nova Launcher and apply the Lollipop theme and the app card view you can pretty much make it like what you get on the Nexus with v5. Use the menu option to view notifications and you don't see the incongruous LG circular tools either. Almost there . . .
[G3 General] beruppino:
Where i can find the app card view ?? And in nova i can change the menu and put the white lolipop stile?
[G3 General] iisouljaboiii:
In drawer setting tick show pages as cards too make it look like stock lollipop ?
[G3 General] beruppino:
Ok find thanks a lot.

Think I may have spoke too soon with 20d. Battery has been terrible. Put my phone on flight mode before sleeping last night (80%) 8 hours later it's down to 10% on flight mode........bonkers.
[G3 General] sabret00the:
Battery Battery Stats?
[G3 General] leocris:
For me 20D is proving amazing on battery, i´m with 2h40mn of screen time and still 50% left. Perhaps you have some app draining overnight, i have the phone turned on at 2 days and didn´t drain 1% overnight...
[G3 General] Adooda:
Anyone knows when Netherlands are getting Lollipop? I simply can't wait and don't wanna flash a different KDZ!!!!

thanks in Advance :D

btw I have v10I-eur-xx
[G3 General] karlos65:
Nova improves on the shocking lag my g3 suffers from too.

I will wait for lollipop before I root etc but tbh I amazed that this handset was so well received by the mobile critics, I swipe then go off and make a drink, comeback and it's just settling onto the homescreen.
[G3 General] puttitat:
Is Danish included in any of the Lollipop builds for the int. D855 32GB out there? :D
[G3 General] Eis357:
Yup. I'm running 5.0 V20a-EUR-XX and language set to Danish on my G3 ;)
[G3 General] puttitat:
Where and how do I fetch this? I've been looking and looking EVERYwhere!
[G3 General] Eis357:
I updated my G3 to lollipop when it began launching in Germany, so i followed a German guide on "zdnet . de/88210683/android-5-0-lollipop-auf-lg-g3-installieren/" (i used google translate because i suck at german :p )

It's doesn't say anywhere whether it is for the 16GB version or the 32GB, but all i can say is, that it's working flawless in danish on my D855 16GB :D
[G3 General] puttitat:
Thanks - I get the "Could not connect to server" message in the LG Mobile Support Tool. As suggested I tried clicking 'OK' and just waiting, but nothing happens.

Any suggestions? Using W8.1 x64 and an original USB cable.
[G3 General] Eis357:
I'm on W10 but that shouldn't make the big difference.. You don't need to use the Support tool. You need the LG Flash Tool though and the driver for your G3 on your PC. Then just put your G3 to download mode (google how to) and use the official flash tool to flash the .kdz and install Lollipop :D

EDIT:

Oh, if you're stuck at step 4 in the article then just disconnect from the internet and start over
[G3 General] Salival:
True that. It is like KK+ Considering to downgrade cause Xposed
[G3 General] puttitat:
Thanks for the reply - I haven't installed the Support Tool - LG Flash Tool starts the Support Tool by itself. Just tried on another computer which I know for a fact haven't been used for the likes of this before - and on this, the Support Tool got fired up anyways.

Threw the "no connection to server" error, but seems to flash now after I clicked "? ?" (Korean language not installed on my computer, obviously)

I keep hearing this on here... My D855 32GB has been nothing but smooth as silk and buttery smooth since the day I turned it on.
[G3 General] codified:
From what I've been reading this is a common theme. My 32GB/3GB RAM G3 has been silky smooth from the start. Most of the people who complain about lag seem to have 16GB/2GB RAM variants.
[G3 General] rowbaggie22:
I have the 16gb 2 ram version my nextwork only offered it on 16gb and it does lag abit
[G3 General] chubaan:
Has anybody tried updating G3 through LG PC Suite?

It has been giving me the same message something like "Latest software installed", but when i tried it today, i got a message saying: "mobile device software upgrade is blocked on no upgrade policy".

I have 32GB T-Mobile version. I have no idea what this message means..

After looking it up on Google it seems like people are saying it's been blocked by T-Mobile. I'm not sure though.
[G3 General] PacoDaTacoSeller:
Anyone think Verizon version will get it at same time? From what I remember.. my Verizon S3 never got kitkat...
[G3 General] Stek988:
I have updated my g3 through PC software (am on v20c-219-10) and im from croatia where the latest OTA was v10l. And imo battery life was a little better on KK (but there is no big diference and no large drain) , and in both versions i didnt experience any lag(32gb version) :)

Hey guys it seems to be a problem with our lollipop updates, i installed the camera fv-5 with new features for new camera APIs but the app doesn't let me to take images in row format also no manual exposure neither in lollipop and cm based roms

How can we can make sure lg updated the APIs?
[G3 General] Stek988:
Maybe the reason for that is the race of giants to update their flagships to the latest software. So we get a rom with some partially unfinished features (something like beta) but i think the future updates will include all polished and implemented feauters. :)

Hi LG users

First time using the Android 5 on my LG G3, (used android for many years) I installed an unofficial CM12 build on my LG G3 and its absolutely amazing.

I have yet to have such a great experience on a android phone that iv had on this device with CM12. Its responsive intuitive and great battery life.

In fact the new layout and features are great, now i know you can get add ones for most of these like the notifications on lock screen but its good to see it built in and integrated so well.

Usually after so much modifications to get to something like this may glitch out any phone.

The only thing that bothers me is the lack of options in settings, it feels like they removed a lot of options.
[G3 General] hack14u:
On just about all of the roms and pure Android itself, many of the options you are used to seeing are not there anymore. They are built in by the manufacturer. I have a G3, and a M8, I put the 5.0.1 update on my M8 and hated it so much I went back to 4.4.4 Sense. Glad you are liking it.

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

Ya, no. Come play with my 32GB, ATT version. I tried to dismiss it at first, but my phone now sits in a corner waiting for E-Bay to come take it away it's so bad. Went back to my M8.
[G3 General] TheSkyline35:
I want quick circle for CM12, I paid this case 25€ I don't want to don't use it :p

And V20D is good but battery life still bad (
[G3 General] PatarNoster:
I got a circle case from ebay.. and it made the phone way to thick and coulnt get a hang on the flap... lol it wasnt as user friendly as i hoped.
[G3 General] meyerweb:
If you mean you're going to upgrade to the Lollipop OTA and then root, I wouldn't advise that. It's likely the official 5.0 won't be rootable for a long time. Even the most recent 4.4 update breaks root. I would suggest rooting while you still can, and then updating with pre-rooted ROMs here on XDA.
[G3 General] TheSkyline35:
Yep but it protect the phone and the screen, it's the better protection if you don't use screen glass protection :)
[G3 General] Leinger:
Update unavailable

How come that a week ago I have upgraded my G3 to 20D via official LG upgrade tool (checked before at site http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=xxx where xxx is the imei code). Now my friend asked to update it to him and when I check for update it tells me that most recent version is 10L. Phones are from the same region and the same operator. Maybe anyone knows why LG canceled the already rolled update via PC?
[G3 General] SilentStrider:
I agree with you, because honestly I don't give a damn about what design trends google or any smartphone companies go with,

The only reason I am looking for an OS update is to be able to access and modify my ExSdcard contents that KiT KaT introduced.

And yes I know if I root the device I will get access to it but honestly even though I was borderline flashohollic on my old Samsung S3, I have no urge currently to root/flash ROMS on LG G3 at the moment, only as last resort!
[G3 General] iBolski:
That's where I'm at. I'm pretty happy with how the G3 runs out of the box, but having write access to my SD Card is a must.

I wish there was a sure-fire way of backing up app data and restoring it without needing root. I know Helium does it, but only with apps that have "registered". I tried it, and about 10 of my apps didn't back up due to them not being registered.

So, my only way to do so is with TiBu, which requires root. I know adb is another way to backup, but do you still need root to restore it?
[G3 General] SilentStrider:
As far as I know root is required to all things in the root folder.

Honestly if there was a rom that only run on a terminal window that would be pure simplicity. By that I mean when the phone booted instead of a UI we got a terminal window that will be the ultimate simplicity....

Hi guys,

I'm sorry for my question's but i am new at LG Rom's.

I had seem that in UK already out the update for android 5.0.

I've LG G3 D855 32Gb bought in Spain.

My question: can i download the official ROM from UK or other, and install in my phone? The Custom ROM's that was found here in XDA was based in the stock or CM ROM's? in custom ROM's the knock is working?

If can anyone enlighten me?
[G3 General] rowbaggie22:
Small world lol lol
[G3 General] massalami:
You can,but youd lose root if you flash official rom. The custom roms can be either cm based or stock based, both in lollipop or kk and its up to you really. Check out the android dev section and finally, knock code works on lg stock roms and not cm
[G3 General] Ambastic:
I have rooted my lg g3 since the first week i got it.

And i got all the official updates from lg over the air.

Whoch means you can install official updates without unrooting.

The samsung updater checks if your phones software is original if not you cant install the update true the normal updater. Lg doesnt.
[G3 General] aygul12345:
Didtn know that that LG doesnt chek if the phone is rooted so you can get update's over the air.. Real nice thing. instead of samsung that checks... (SUUCKS!)

But tell me.. does have the LG G3 still overheating issue's? For example if you filming in 4k the phone will suddenly shutdown...

[G3 General] Ambastic:
Every high end phone get hotter when you use it intensively.

And the lg g3 has more resolution than most phones. So the cpu has to work harder and will get hotter. Also he is using the flashlight which heats up the phone as well. And on top of that he is recording in 4k. So the phone could get hot.

But to amswrr your question. Lg has only put this in the software to make sure you dont get your phone to hot. But... In the hidden menu on the lg g3 you can turn this feauture off and it wont bother you. Also normally when the phone is too hot you cant getover 90 or 80 percent brightness. I think this will be allowed by turning the feauture off in the hidden menu. You can find the code forr the hidden menu on google. Just search it.

[G3 General] Ambastic:
No. Even with the standard feautures on i have never had problems with my phone getting to hot while recording in 4k. And i always rec9rd in 4k.
[G3 General] aygul12345:
Damm... So it could be batch problem of the phones.

What about the brightness what you was talking early that is not set it higher then 80/90%?

Did you recieve a message that you could set it higher than that? Do you run Stock? without any modificated in the hiden menu? How long do you have your phone now?

Let me know mate.
[G3 General] massalami:
Aosp is the android open source project by Google so the roms are like the ones in the nexus. An example is cyanogen mod

Answering the other question, there are plenty of aosp roms available in the developer section of the g3.

I am aware it might be a while before Lollipop is rootable but apart from the lag I was happy with it out of the box.

I have flashed 20e on my 16GB sim free D855 and can report that it is so far very stable.

No force closes, everything seems to be working and more importantly the lag that I was experiencing thus far seems to be gone. My phone was on all night on standby and it seems to have not depleted at all.

I will report back after more use. :)

LG haven't loaded the front end like Samsung do and disabling apps works just as well as removing them.
