Have no ideea. Next year probably.:)

LG sarted working on lollipop before release of 5.0.1. So probably untill all countries get 5.0, they will have time to do the patches. My phone is from Norway, did not get 5.0 update yet.
[G3 General] DreyG:
I think I'm keeping this Kitkat 4.4.2 V10l version, now the question is how to stop the update notification and delete the downloaded OTA Lollipop update. I already unchecked the check for Software update and then restarted the phone, but the notification to keep updating the phone to lollipop keep reappearing.

[G3 General] kraven001:
Stop dreaming about the Lolipop default buttons. Seems that LG wants to keep the look they launched the phone with so I think we will be stuck with the nav buttons we have now.
[G3 General] kordis11:
Just bought G3 and haven't used KitKat on it, just Lollipop. So the new features I really like and use are trusted face and trusted places also the Lollipop API and Google Now launcher with beautiful animations. However after coming from G2, this phone feels so slow and it drops fps quite often. Any ideas how to fix that?

hey guys lg g3-D855 16gb twn version V20e install via OTA V20e-TWN-XX (BUY FROM AMAZON US) im from Venezuela :)

But i have a question, the phone gets very hot and very quickly using basic applications Whatsapp music.

is heated in the buttons and the top of the screen :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Just got the update notification for D855, from V10M-TWN-XX to V20E. My phone is rooted but everything else is stock. Will I lose root if I update to 20E? Is 20E rootable? Can I use PurpleDrake method to root 20E or is there some other method?

Will appreciate any help.
[G3 General] 30adi:
AFAIK you will lose root. There is no way to root lollipop yet. It is possible to have root only if you flash prerooted roms.
[G3 General] djmvt:
This is not true: nexus devices did get the new navbar buttons on 5.0 but LG decided to use the kitkat style probably because they simply like them more...
[G3 General] SQr17:
Damn, looks like I'll wait...

Thanks for the help.
[G3 General] djmvt:
Tested from my LG g3 with v20e lollipop to LG tv: working, to chromecast: working, to Panasonic Blu-ray player with miracast support: working. All devices running on original firmware, no modifications.
[G3 General] 30adi:
Nexus have latest update: 5.0.1
[G3 General] djmvt:
Correct but on 5.0 the nexus devices already had the new navbar buttons. So it is not a 5.0.1. exclusive thing. It simply seems to be a choice made by LG to not use the new buttons.

Battery life :(

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this but my battery life has been absolutely atrocious since I upgraded to Lollipop and I kind of wish I hadn't now. I get up at 6am and drive for around an hour using Spotify in my car and by 9am battery is at around 80% whereas it used to be around 92%, shockingly bad. I also noticed that the notifications on the lock screen are essentially useless if you have a knock code set up. Notifications just show up as "content hidden". The only saving grace is that the phone is a little faster...only a little!
[G3 General] djmvt:
No I don't experience that regarding battery life. It is perhaps a little lower but then again I am always on a bad 3g connection, using Bluetooth all day for audio streaming and connection to my pebble smartwatch and got about 16 hours of battery with 4 hours sot.

The lockscreen notifications can be changed in the settings, go to settings/sound and notifications and change the notifications on lockscreen setting.

battery drain

i have the same problem! after update from kit kat to lollipop i have an eccessive battery drain. it seems the display usage and i have setted in automatically mode at 20% but i don't solve the problem. also in stand by mode i see the battery charge go down.

is there any tricks to solve?

thanks
[G3 General] kiz84:
Some people seem to be saying that a factory reset might solve it but I don't see how this would? I also don't want to factory reset my device as I've got 2 step verification on a few apps (gmail especially) and it is a pain in the a$$ to set this up again. I also have my device just like I want it :D
[G3 General] Benholder90:
My battery is not as good compared to kit kat. One thing i really dont like is that you can no longer use widgets on the lock screen! Anyone find this a bad thing?

[G3 General] kiz84:
Seems to be cell standby that is using my battery life the most (33%!). From reading around the net people seem to think it's a rogue app. The last app I installed was Timely so I've uninstalled on the random off chance that this was causing this issue :/

Strangely since updating to 20E although it seems to have improved lag everywhere else, when I am typing in an email or a text it is very laggy, any ideas?

Are you using the stock keyboard or a different keyboard? Try clearing the data of the keyboard you are using. That fixed any keyboard lag I had a while ago

No clue. Lollipop is going to be much harder to root than KitKat on phones with a locked bootloader.

Try clearing the cache from the program? I also went to "settings > storage" and cleared "cached data". Which I was told is the same as clearing cache partition. Hasn't removed any app settings or anything for me. I'm pretty sure you can't boot into recovery on the G3 without having a custom recovery installed.

Todays battery has been an absolute joke.

Wow, sorry that is horrendous. I tried wiping the cache partition as I've mentioned in an earlier post this is under "Settings > Storage > Cached Data" and clear this. This stopped my cell standby issue, today it's only using 5%.

So battery life is defintely not as good. Will it be better with next update?
[G3 General] le3ky:
I'm not liking what Lollipop has done to my G3 at all... 3 main issues...:

1. The phone lags so much now.. I got the odd slow down in Kitkat, but the phone is sometimes totally unusable with lollipop. Its driving me mad :(

2. The battery life has dropped a lot from kitkat. It also seems to take a lot longer to charge, i'm not sure if this is because it's eating more than it used to, even while charging..

3. The heat. For example today in the cinema, phone in my pocket and I can feel my leg heating up. It didn't do this on kitkat.

At this point, I'm not too sure what to do. I'd have done a factory reset already if i could root and restore my titanium backup, but I can't, so that's not really an option :(
[G3 General] fneo61:

You have to make an hard reset if you want a perfect phone...that would remove all kitkat stuff that crashes with lollipop.

For saving your data,you could use Helium.

Remember that hard reset wipes all your internal memory...

Hello all i just flashed my lg g3 with the v20e kdz update, and i just don't know how to root my phone. can you help me pls .
[G3 General] iBolski:
You can't. LP is not rootable via an exploit. You'll have to downgrade back to a previous version that was rootable (based on the version of your phone) and then wait for someone to release a stock image with root in it.

Or, flash a custom LP ROM.

Hi just factory reset my fone 2 no lag now Whoohoo seems smoother thanks for ur help
[G3 General] aposva:
Updated yesterday, did a factory reset just in case. It is definitely smoother, everything seems to work. Noticed that the quick remote app has again projectors and air conditions, also due to better RAM management in lollipop i suppose, the notification panel quick remote is usable (it was loading for several seconds everytime i was trying to use it).

I have to check it more but i noticed that some times the wifi takes longer to connect.

I am coming from the G2.

The weather animation on the lockscreen still works only in very bad weather. I liked it in my G2 and i have hoped it will be fixed with this update but... maybe next time.

The notification LED still flashes every 10 seconds, i know its minor but every 5 seconds would be optimal.

I will report for battery life, bluetooth streaming and anything else later...

...bluetooth streaming works fine and the battery was just like kitkat (~36 hours, 3 hours SOT).
[G3 General] emanimal:
I've also updated my g3 to lollipop. After the upgrade everything was working fine, no random resets nor lag. Except the battery, from the first day it began to drain very rapidly, < 12 hours vs 36 hours with KitKat. Yesterday, following someone else device I did a factory reset and guess what? I'm back with 36 hours! Can someone please explain me why do we need to this?

[G3 General] iBolski:
This could change for those of us in the US (VS985, D850, LS990, D851), but those who are overseas that have gotten the 5.0 update, have you:

Been able to maintain root over an OTA if you were rooted on KK?

Have you been able to flash back to a previous version that allows root after taking the 5.0 update?

Just curious as we in the US wait for LP. Of course, I won't take it immediately. Would rather wait for a bumped stock image instead that is rootable.

Again, the ability for overseas to downgrade could be stopped here in the US if they decide to patch that loop hole.
