Now to is fishy indeed. They should not be able to push the update unless it is on their network.
[AT&T LG G3] sic0048:
Only phones that come with Lollipop on them OEM have the encryption turned on by default. I'm not sure if AT&T is shipping new G3s with Lollipop installed on it yet or not, but anyone that takes the lollipop update or manually flashes a lollipop ROM does NOT have encryption enabled unless they specifically turn it on themselves.
[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
+1

Encryption is disabled by default.
[AT&T LG G3] Barsky:
Indeed. I did see a post from someone else who experienced the same thing. And here I had gone and bought an ATT sim for $10, activated it but luckily put no money on the account. I didn't need it, as I thought I would.
[AT&T LG G3] splitfiredaewoo:
Still no luck on getting the lollipop update for me. I'm overseas and have no access to a AT&T sim card. Is there a way I can get the update without OTA?

Thanks.
[AT&T LG G3] Jammin72:
Thanks for the correction!
[AT&T LG G3] dmunjal:
Anyone notice that notifications are working differently? With KK, the G3 would expand all notifications to allow you to act on them. Now, they are not expanded and don't expand to take action.
[AT&T LG G3] SkVergil:
Noticed this too.
[AT&T LG G3] Carlosgomez03:
Same here. Can somebody please post the flashable zip file of the OTA?

Thanks.
[AT&T LG G3] oby2:
As of the moment there isn't a zip file. Not until either one of two things happens, AT&T releases the .tot file (i think this is the equivalent of a factory image for a nexus device) or somebody finds a way to root stock lollipop and a someone can dump the OTA file. Until then we're out of luck. Sprints .tot file was actually up before the OTA which makes me wonder why AT&T are dragging their feet.
[AT&T LG G3] DaWongOne:
I'm so dissapointed with At$t and LG. The promise of quick updates is just another lie. I think that this will be my last LG.

So no updates for rooted users yet, what a bummer.

I've read pretty much every thread here. Another dissapointment the notification bar.

Waiting patiently for the rooted update.
[AT&T LG G3] TemporaryTester:
Mate, you really can't fault LG for this one. Quick updates

for rooted users

is not something that they're obliged to provide.

The update was for sure quick, relative to nearly every other device out there, even the ones with official promises. And LG had the update out bloody quick for the international version, which shows that ATT's meddling mucked that one up.

If you want your quick update, either buy unlocked, or unroot and take the update.
[AT&T LG G3] netomel:
That's right I never heard of rooted updates, I though that part came from the devs.
[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
Pretty hard to give a rooted update when AT&T hasn't released a tot file yet..
[AT&T LG G3] babooka37:
Actually they are expendable, but it is kind of tricky. Most likely lg fault. When you drop down notification bar there are quick toggles on top. To expend a notification you need to drag quick toggles up out of view BY HOLDING YOUR FINGER ON NOTIFICATION. Then you will be able to expend them as usual.

It is very annoying. I think it would be much better if the notification bar would work like on a stock lollipop. By dragging it down you see notifications only and can operate with them easily. If you need quick toggles, pull it more down. [emoji53]
[AT&T LG G3] oby2:
I was wondering, is releasing a tot file something that att is obligated to do? Could we be waiting for something that att doesnt technically have to give us therefore giving them no motivation to do anything about it?
[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
Honestly, I have no idea! I'm not sure if they're obligated too.
[AT&T LG G3] Ozark_8125:
LOL - you're just trolling, right? I hope you appreciate that we even have XDA and the dev's that are working hard on constantly circumnavigating blocked root exploits / bootloaders / building roms / kernels, etc, just for our benefit. By waiting patiently, I mean that you are generous with use of the thanks and donate buttons? Do you understand the concept of 'this will void your warranty'? Hope you aren't another one of the growing legions of the entitlement generation demanding to be served... or else you'll have a public tantrum.... or one who hasn't figured out how to use spell-check yet. Sorry OP for the rant. It's been a few years... :D

These devices are so awesome... it's amazing what they can do and I'm thankful that there's enough consumer demand to push tech companies and engineers to their limits to bring us groovy tools. Heck, when I was a kid, we thought it was the cat's meow that we could do:

10 print "I am cool"
20 goto 10
run

... and we were.... :cool:

Lollipop report so far. Boot very long and slow. No actions in notifications on lock screen. Battery is good after a few cycles. Downloading apps over WiFi is very slow compared to KK. No overheating issues with video.

[AT&T LG G3] eortizr:
Look a couple page back, I posted 2 shots with the stock and AOSP camera, you will see the difference in quality there. AOSP camera is just not good for low light pictures at all. If you really want the best quality Stock is the only option.

So i ordered a g3 today, when i get it do i need to root on kitkat to uninstall all the bloatware, then factory restore it then take the lollipop OTA?
[AT&T LG G3] kduan:
How long does it usually take ATT to release the TOT file for us?
[AT&T LG G3] loganfarrell:
A factory reset will undo your debloating. If your aim is to root on lollipop, my advice is to root on KK, debloat, install the bumped TWRP per this thread: and then wait for a flashable rooted zip of the OTA. It might be a while, but it's better to wait on rooted KitKat than stock unrooted lollipop. Don't take the OTA or factory reset unless you want to have to manually go back to the 10d firmware (previous KK version), root, install bumped TWRP, and then flash a rooted zip of the 20f firmware (most recent lollipop update). No logic behind making extra work for yourself.
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
Since this was an ota patch type update, they probably won't.

so i went ahead and flashed the same rom. It's bootlooping as I speak. ADB doesn't see it. LG flashtool sees it as a D855 now. I'm stuck and would appreciate advice. I can't seem to use the hardware keys to manually get it into recovery.
[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
You're not suppose to flash roms that are not for your model..........

[AT&T LG G3] Mistertac:
Sadly people are so excited to get to flashing they don't think of the risks.

There's mods and themed apps that can be flashed in the mean time and that's good enough for me.

Until we all get CM I personally will just stay on my stock ROM most likely. Even the stock ROM that popped up for us on a Verizon, I feel I had my stock one setup better already. To each his own though.
[AT&T LG G3] st0nez0r:
And you probably got lucky. Another user Flashed the same rom you did and soft bricked his device.

Just doesn't seem worth the risk flashing all willy nilly...
[AT&T LG G3] 17akota:
I never had a problem man. I just downloaded AndroidNow HD 1.3 and flashed it. I only flashed it because there was other people saying that it was working on their D850 (AT&T variant).

If you can use LG Flashtool, restore it back to the stock D850 if that's what model you have.
[AT&T LG G3] arcticrobot:
I would love to have Imoseyon to develop his Leankernel for this phone.
[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
he doesn't have ADB working. Not sure if the flash tool will work?
[AT&T LG G3] 17akota:
He said flashtool sees it as a D855 so it may work? This is my first LG phone. I'm so used to Samsung. Their program is more user friendly.
[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
I'm pretty sure if he uses the flash tool it's not going to recognize it as a Att phone. I think he's gonna need to modify the build prop in order to flash it.

[AT&T LG G3] 17akota:
He did say it seen it as a D855. A build.prop edit wouldn't be hard if Flashtool wouldn't flash the D850 firmware.
[AT&T LG G3] Misterowl:
Wait so does that mean you can flash another variants Rom as long as you flash a custom kernel meant for your device?
[AT&T LG G3] _Dennis_:
No problems. I misunderstood, my apologies. Just didn't want someone to think they could just get a new TWRP update.zip and flash it and Bork their recovery.
[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
Correct. But if you try to flash another firmware it will not work. It has to be the D855 firmware since his device registers as the D855.
[AT&T LG G3] Sinterion:
[MENTION=2960434]xamadeix[/MENTION] That is not a ROM, but a script, so does not cause issue with being a different device, PPX is built for any device that is able to flash things using custom recovery.

.tot file for Sprint LG G3 Lollipop update seems to be available. Let's keep hoping either LG or AT&T will eventually roll out the file for us...

Only for the original KK firmware, not for any OTAs. This OTA was a ****ty patch job, but we should get a .tot eventually.
[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
Couldn't agree more.
[AT&T LG G3] mrhaley30705:
Don't hold your breath. Att never put up a stock file for the last 3 updates on the S3 and Samsung never leaked it. And I think they only put up one or two early files for the Note 2. They never put up a stock tot/kdz for my Gpad (which is why it's still stock).

As for calling LG, I tried that on my Gpad. No good on that one either.
[AT&T LG G3] anl2304:
Wow, and I thought Verizon was bad. My next phone will not be AT&T-branded.
[AT&T LG G3] Ozark_8125:
That's what's happening. There aren't any contractual pricing deals for phones anymore. You pay $15 more a month for 2-year pricing and the Next plan is a car lease deal. Either case do the math and you pay the retail price, just financed over a couple of years. I did all the math and preferred to use the lovely 'swappa' link at the top of the XDA page to get a nice discount on a like new phone.

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

Nice comparison - the link is here. As far as daylight picutres go, it's fine, but I never tested low light situations - it stinks! We're going to be on vacation (on a cruise ship... :D ) with the kids, so there will be a lot of low light situations... I think I'll switch back to stock for a bit. Thanks for the post.
[AT&T LG G3] anl2304:
Mine have been eBay phones at a modest discount....my mistake when I switched to AT&T was in switching to the AT&T G2 initially (should have just kept the tmobile G2 I had which would gave permitted me more freedom). I figured a carrier-branded phone was optimal and used the same reasoning when I got the G3. And while that may be true, it is not worth the colossal headache AT&T's phones are.

You're right about the math, though. So my next phone, no matter what it is will be purchased at either swappa or ebay, not AT&T and not AT&T branded.
[AT&T LG G3] hyelton:

[AT&T LG G3] KeeperOfThePizza:
I never knew you could.. Might be able to with Nova Launcher Prime.
[AT&T LG G3] hitekredneck:
It can be done, but requires Nova Launcher Prime and a little free app from the Play Store called Screen Off and Lock.

Download and install the Screen Off and Lock app, tap on it to launch it, it will ask you if you want to start the service, choose yes or activate, whichever the case may be.

Then, in Nova settings go to Gestures and Buttons and choose double tap, then choose the apps tab and from there you can choose Screen Off.

You can then double tap anywhere on your home screen to turn the screen off and lock the device.

Most likely not a tot, but possible for a kdz. Go here : lgkdz.com and enter your imei if there's one on LGs server it will come up with a link.
[AT&T LG G3] :
First let's address the main issue: none of these camera apps have access to the hardware in the way the LG's proprietary camera does, and in this way, none of them can actually produce better pictures. They may focus better, or post-process better, but the picture itself can't actually be of higher quality.

Now:

A majority of the tweaks in the zip deal with the build.prop, which many of us know, was a big thing in the early Android days. These build.prop tweaks don't work anymore. For example: ro.media.dec.jpeg.memcap is not used anymore. It literally does nothing at all. The tweak, ro.media.enc.hprof.vid.bps, does work, but only on the AOSP camera, which is no longer in use. 3rd party cameras do not access these tweaks, that are really defined in other files in the OS, and the build.prop values are ignored. Even if they're not, they deal with video and audio encoding, not picture quality. The bravia engine will not work either, as once again, it has nothing to do with photo quality, just displaying photos, and requires proprietary code to work anyways. Beats is for music, and makes it sound worse than stock on good heaphones imo.

The rest of the build.prop tweaks are so hilariously outdated, and never worked, so I'm not even getting into them, because once again they have nothing to do with photo quality. Lastly, he set the panorama resolution higher, and jpeg quality to 100%, this can be done in literally 90% of camera apps, and still won't make pictures noticeably better. I'm tired of users posting 100MB "tweak" zips without actually investigating the files themselves. Androicid's tweaks aren't even device specific, let alone useful.

I don't have time right now, but if you'd like me to, I can go through every single tweak and show you they do nothing. If you want, start here
