V20f update in France this morning on orange branded LG G3
[G3 General] bobsie41:
Available this morning on my 16gb UK unbranded from csmgdl.lgmobile.com also :D
[G3 General] schaggo:
Yes, I am rooted and did not upgrade to L through any official means, I flashed the bumped 20F stock ROM available from the forums.

I did not find a clean stock flashable Kitkat zip, only stock-based (so modified) and to be honest, I never came across a cleanly running, modified stock ROM on any device I had so far, they all had one or the other issue, so I prefer fully stock and mod it myself. And it seems there are only modified/stock based bumped Kitkat available, no absolutely clean one. Oh well...

But thanks for taking time to answer.
[G3 General] kiz84:
Installed v20f on my G3 (unbranded) today. Just came up as a "Google Patch" and still the soft keys are KitKat! I was hoping they would be changed to the Lollipop ones :(
[G3 General] arttuh:
I wonder what the 20f update did/what kind of google updates.

Sent from my Lg-G3
[G3 General] TheKv:
my battery is getting better and better.... ( LGD855 16gb V20F)

Did you reset your phone after updating...? if not try factory reset... 1 st day my battery drains faster but after 2 or 5 resting it got better. Now i can use (hard use) my phone for 2day with calling, messaging, watching youtube, playing games and browsing internet with data on, and i can use (soft use) it more days as daily drive (calling, messaging, etc.)
[G3 General] Intercepter:
use the built in file manager to remove files or your pc, only stock apps that came with phone can remove files unless you are rooted of course.
[G3 General] gattari:
It is not true, on lollipop I remove and copy files in external microsd with solid Explorer for example.

Updated to v20f-eur yesterday over OTA. Lost root and Xposed :(

Some of you are talking about doing factory reset after updating. Is this necessary? Saw no notice about this when updating

/thomas
[G3 General] sabret00the:
How are you on XDA when not only are you uninformed, you're spreading misinformation?! That's actually shameful and embarrassing.
[G3 General] bazglen:
I didn't realise how bad lollipop was until I went back to kk two days ago. A reset worked for a few days but the difference between the two in terms of battery life is beyond belief.

I think I may try flashing lollipop rather than using ota again to see if that makes any difference. If not it's kk until it's sorted!
[G3 General] kiz84:
A few users have had to do a factory reset (myself included) to get the battery life to be "slightly better" (but still not better than KK). Currently after 2 ish weeks, I'd say battery life is atrocious compared to KK. Hope they patch this soon as it's clearly an issue for some.
[G3 General] Deni_N:
My battery life on lollipop V20F i great...i dont know what are you talking about..
[G3 General] bazglen:
There are obviously a few of us in the same boat with regards battery life so it's not just a one off.

There's something wrong somewhere. Is it something to do with how you upgrade? Who knows. Even the charging time on kk compared to lollipop is fantastic!

I'd be interested to see your actual screen on time. No point having a phone to sit doing nothing so your battery lasts!

I get a good 5 hours with kk but two hours less with lollipop!
[G3 General] Deni_N:
I have 4h30min min 5h20min max screen on time, it depends on usage patern :)
[G3 General] rowbaggie22:
This what I got after 2nd reset was good at 1st then started getting less battery used to have 4 hours sot now only goin to 2 or 3 hours just over
[G3 General] Benholder90:
Noo thats ugly! I like the current ones :)
[G3 General] AndroidAsylum:
Hi, im using AndroidNow HD and everythings perfect. Just wondering if we can manually change what happens when volume buttons are pressed when screen is off. For example change volume up from quick note to flashlight ?.. Had it from g3 tweaksbox but dont have exposed anymore obviestly so cant do it the easy way... Can one of the lovely developers here help? Thanks in advance ￼
[G3 General] CrawnberyJack:
Hey. How about stability and bugs? Did LG fixed the rom? Or does it have the lollipop ram glitch? And the other "gifts" from google? I mean bugs :)
[G3 General] probey13:
Any F400S user receives 5.0 update yet? I got a non-root F400S with software version F400S10t, still didn't receive any OTA udpates.
[G3 General] Deni_N:
I have good stability, ram usafe is normal, i have not rebooted my phone for few days, or cleared recent apps. I am very happy with V20F in terms of stability or bugs.. Only bug I have is LED light sometimes blinking without any notification. :)
[G3 General] japok:
Everything works smooth. No bugs at all.
[G3 General] myhrmans:
There are many ways to do this, I even think Android HD has a built in feature for this... Check under AN HD Settings.. should be there!
[G3 General] AndroidAsylum:
Thanks for the informative reply, because i forgot to check the settings of my phone to see if it had this feature before asking a whole comunity of people. (sarcasm) nuh but you have given me the first reply so obviously nobody that actually knows has seen my original post. But thanks anyway champ, i do appreciate the input.
[G3 General] Anarchist77:
Check out Themes and Apps section. "Key Plus" lets you add the flashlight.
[G3 General] moec:
Receive a few days ago v20f via ota
[G3 General] AndroidAsylum:
Thank you mate, but i tried keyplus, what happens is it turns on the flashlight for like 3 seconds and then it goes off again unfortunately. Real bummer, really liked that feature..
[G3 General] Anarchist77:
Ok, fair enough, i did see a comment like that. I guess it doesn't work fully with all G3 variants or ROMs. Personally i find it to work perfectly, sorry it didn't work out for you.
[G3 General] otaconremo:
g3 v20e for philippines available

My g3 is currently on v10l and it notifies me of an OTA update for v10o.

However i can't update via ota since twrp is blocking it during reboot.

So i checked with pc suite and v20e pops out. I'm still hesitant to upgrade to lollipop since there's still no proper root tool/guide for stock firmware.
[G3 General] neoxx3m:
When did you get V20F update? Do you have problems with call drops?
[G3 General] Maxxwell_Rhyno:
homescreen crash.

Guys, I need a solution for this, it kinda gets annoying. Every so often my homescreen crashes, when I close my whatsapp. I haven't had this problem with any other programs and don't know why it happens. But everytime my g3 has to redraw the widgets (just the original lg widgets) on the homescreen it gives me an error message stating, "Home has stopped working" and then after I press ok, it comes back and it performs like it's supposed to, without any problems. I have the g3, for 3 months now and it is really after the 5.0 update it started doing this. Anyone else experiencing this. Btw I live in the netherlands. Thanks in advance.
[G3 General] Alin2002:
I have the same problem with my G3 since i've got the V20f update. My homescreen crashes every 10 minutes or so, even when the screen is off. And thats not the only that problem, apps are crashing continously every now and then, and sometimes display errors, especially in the native e-mail app. And BTW my Antutu test was only 25496, and on KK i had over 30000.
[G3 General] le3ky:
Yeah purpledrake worked fine for me on 10L
[G3 General] Bate1:
Is there any way to change the grid size for the LG launcher on the homescreen using Lollipop? Still using KK due to the xposed features.
[G3 General] schaggo:
This might be possible when 10L is reached by OTA. When flashed from KDZ - at least in all tries I undertook myself - the bnr-recovery (which is used for pushing root to the system partition to begin with) offers read-only access and does not allow to push the files onto the system partition. Thus the rooting cannot go through, at all, no way. Could be that OTA-only updated devices have a bnr-recovery which still mounts the system partition as read/write.

It seems not, except - and this is unknown to me - the information resides in a config file which can be easily edited/replaced. I moved to another launcher because of this on Lollipop.
[G3 General] Bate1:
Thanks for the response. This is currently kind of a stopping point for me regarding installing Lollipop as I don't really want to switch the launcher.
[G3 General] msra6la2:
Yea Nova Launcher doesn't work properly on my phone
[G3 General] CrawnberyJack:
Sadly they are bugs. Look at my sdcard. its 128 gb. i updated to lollipop(bought the phone yesterday) and after update it broke my sdcard and i needed to re-format it. I had a g pro 2, whitch on 4.4.2 after some restarts it broke my sdcard too. I used a galaxy s5 for a few months..and never had any problem with sdcard. Now this g3 is messing with my sdcard ..again.

Btw..does anyone have the lg g pro 2 weather widget? or the g2's from kitkat? Its really nicer than g3-s. I dont want to switch the launcher though. Thanks.

Another thing i noticed..my screen is literally eating battery. You have in atachments.

Overall after i owned exynos-octa version of s5 (my advice: don't buy samsung. ugly software. even more ugly on lollipop, laggy on my s5), and had no roms, than before the g pro 2 and had no roms... G3 D855 is a good phone. Because they are plenty of roms. And that makes me happy.

And antutu benchmark is it good? I dont have wifi - to try antutu on phone. With s5 i got 44 K. (look atachments). Because something..i have lags in interface. And i hate that.

And for last question. My G3 is 32 gb version. Can i install any rom for D855?

Thank you !

edit: i forgot..where is lg g3 fitness app? i looked in drawer and..nothing.
[G3 General] LenAsh:
The Antutu benchmarks are already covered Here

Suggest you don't pay too much attention to it though, it's almost worthless and may not reflect actual real-life performance.

The fitness app is part of the initial set up widget on the 2nd home screen. Sounds like you deleted the widget. You can get it back by hitting the settings icon to the top right of the time on the clock widget.

The following represents my own experience of the LG KK vs. LL OS implementations so far and may not reflect anyone else's

I've had this phone (Open EUR) for a couple of weeks - it came with V10A and went from that to V20F in about 5 OTA updates one after the other. I did a factory reset after the V20F update as suggested in various fora. I used the phone normally for a couple of days and noted that the battery life was lousy. I then did a clean flash back to stock V10L and the difference is utterly staggering. After another couple of days I rooted (using Purpledrake) primarily to get rid of the annoying boot and power off sounds. There is very little bloat in the LG OS, so apart from getting rid of a few unused GAPPS (Books/Mags and G search for example) I now have a phone exactly as I want it. I can also use a few root-only apps now, should I wish to,

So KK for me - LP is an immature OS at the moment and I get the impression that LG rushed something out to be at the head of the pack. Not exactly the right thing to do... one day in the next few months it might be worth a shot again, but since KK (in its later iterations) is not broken in any obvious way, no rush.

BTW, I had an S5 for just a week, before this G3 - that's all I could stand. Less than impressive build quality, poor stability, TW and Knox just made it a nightmare. Not even CM11 redeemed it. In my opinion. Oh, and the G3 has a very good off air FM Radio that preserves my data plan. The S5 doesn't. One up for LG...
[G3 General] r4v3rr:
Just had the V20e update. Can anyone suggest a tool/method for unpacking it?
[G3 General] bazglen:
Hi, I had similar problems with battery life through updating to lollipop even after a reset. I had gone back to kk but tried again flashing the lollipop rom using the flash tool with v20a. Once finished I hard reset the device again and let it update up to v20f.

I had my first full day yesterday and I have to say it's better than before. 23hrs on battery and 3% left when I put it back on charge with just over 5 hrs screen on time.

That for me is similar to kk and acceptable. So far today I'm at 70% with 2hrs sot. Things looking up but I'd go back again if it starts playing up.
[G3 General] r3ix84:
My battery life in 20f is very bad... Even after a Hard reset ?
[G3 General] japok:
I am currently using a Custom LG G3 based rom and there's are tweaks that I use to eliminate the lag.

You need to determine the model number of your phone as well. If its D855 then you can definitely use custom D855 Roms.
[G3 General] SickBeast:
Rogers updated their app today. Hopefully it is a sign that they will push the lollipop update soon.
[G3 General] ced357:
Cool, v20k seems to have lollipop softkey update...
[G3 General] kiz84:
Have you got this update on your G3? Does it come with any other improvements?
[G3 General] rowbaggie22:
Screen shot of new updated buttons please on ur g3
[G3 General] ced357:
It will come first week of february by OTA 149mb with this improvement:

Lollipop stability/performance improvements.

Knock Code stability enhancements.

LG G Flex 2 themes.

Update of GMS applications.

Backend fixes for Android 5.0.1

This is just rumor coming from Korea...
[G3 General] dr30ma:
Install Greenify all from play store and hibernate waking apps.
[G3 General] Blaitteri:
I have a strange bug in my G3 V20f-EUR-XX.

I disable notifications from games such as Boom Beach etc. as I don't wan't to those games to inform me.

In a few days time those games send me notification again and when I go to settings, the checkmark is back on "show notifications".

Same thing happens if I disable notification through new lollipop menu under sound settings. It remembers my selection only few days and then reverts back to default.
[G3 General] Shervinsa:
Q feature

Hi guys, the thing that annoys me most (apart from no silent without vibration) is lack of quick memo+ in the swipe up feature. I used to take screen shots with that feature. :(

Any way to revive it? Aside from installing a third party app.
[G3 General] hsnhallal:
Hey guys just a question plz

My lg g3 is from Australia but i bought it outside it.

So my software version is v10l-AUS-XXX and people in australia got lollipop soo will i get lollipop update or no tho the phone had 3 update when i opened it and used it. So im just asking with this software version will i get lollipop or no...?
[G3 General] Miniricho:
Well I also have the Australian g3, and I have no lollipop. So my guess is no.
[G3 General] jtrvk:
same here mate. checked with LG PC suite as well ;)
[G3 General] SickBeast:
Nothing in Canada yet either. This is a really long delay compared to the rest of the world. LG is really dropping the ball IMO.
[G3 General] EmptySD:
I am not using OTA long time now, i just wonder, is there still lag as it was at KK?
[G3 General] m4tic:
Your best bet is to either have its shortcut on the navigation buttons or turn it on from the notification shortcuts
[G3 General] Leinger:
I on the same build and I don't have this kind of bug. I have several apps with notification disabled and it never comes back on. So I guess it is app related.
[G3 General] SickBeast:
Apparently Australia is getting the ota lollipop update now. Hopefully north America will be next.
[G3 General] Miniricho:
Good news! Australia is set to get Lollipop for our G3'S before the start of February! Keep checking those OTA updates pal!

Had my G3 updated to Lollipop last week. V20f-AME-XX. After the update, my phone got sluggish. I also experience my first game crash while playing WoT Blitz. I am experiencing some delays when shifting windows and opening apps. I am a bit disappointed with the update. I was expecting an increase in performance, but it turns out to be the opposite. :(.

Query

Dear fellow members i want to ask a question when i was on 4.4.2 when i uses the data connection it shows H or H+ but after getting update it only shows 3G did i got slower speed now or icon just changed to 3G. And when connected to LTE with another sim it shows 4G only instead of LTE. Is this a problem with my G3 after getting 5.0 lollipop?:confused::confused::confused:
[G3 General] DANN_PKUY:
3G it's not the same than H/H+ (3G it's a lot slower than H/H+) u may have a conection problem.

4G and LTE are the same 4G = four generation / LTE = long term evolution (up to 300mbps download/ 150 mbps upload)

LTE-A = LTE at twice the speed of LTE/4G (up to 600 mbps download, 1gb theorical / 300 mbps upload)

I hope that helps u

Home Not Responding

Hi Guys,

For those with Quick Circle case and using Lollipop stock rom (20E or 20F), can you try this and respond if your getting the same result:

1) Set a lock screen with Knock Code or Pattern unlock.

2) Go back to Home Screen

3) Close your Quick Circle Case

4) Wait until Clock is gone / phone sleeps

5) tap on Quick Circle to show clock again

6) Swipe on Quick Circle to show Quick Circle apps

7) Click on either Messenger, Music, Call Logs or Quick Toggles/Notification (if you have it installed).

8) Immediately click on back button

9) Open your Quick Circle Case

10) Enter Knock Code or Pattern to Unlock

11) You will see "Unfortunately, Home Screen has stopped" crash message

2 out of 3 tries this happens to me. Very annoying. Doesn't happen if you have "None" or "Swipe" lockscreen but that's not good because the phone won't be secure. I haven't tried this with PIN or Password unlock coz I don't like using those anyway (what's the point of having a G3 if your not gonna use Knock Code ;) ?)
[G3 General] rowbaggie22:
No matter what I do and I click home from an app I have home screen has stopped after clicking home button and I don't have a quick circle case on at the moment
[G3 General] J-Santos:
Guys. I got my G3 for 2 days now, have Lolipop update, ( I had before a Note 2 with DN4 Rom ) one think that I notice is Ram usage +-1,7GB Its a bit high for this phone ? I have the 32GB 3GB Ram so not a big problem but is that normal?

Thanks
[G3 General] rayiskon:
That is a lollipop issue, and is present on other devices other than the G3 also. The problem is the RAM used by system, right after a reboot (or power-on) it's low, give it a day or too and it will jump to 1GB.

I had this behavior also on Nexus 5.
