Hi guys, I just got myself a LG G3 (16gb 855) this morning. Coming from a Moto G with Cyanogenmod 12.1 the UI feels a little complicated, so I plan to put the official CM12.1 on the LG G3 as well. I don't lose any features by doing so, do I?

Hey,

BetterBattery stats shows com.android.phone generats 46 alrams per hour

And com.google. android.gms about 20 per hour.

Is this normal?

I have screen on 20 min but awake 1 hour and 40 minutes.

I don't undersrans why its awake for so long without me doing anything.

Don't have battery hungry apps AFAIK (no facebook etc.. )

I have reset the dev options, but still no go from the lockscreen

Notification bar is that.

You have some PIN code, pattern, password or knock code to unlock the screen, right?

Reading some more info about the g3 unlocking, it seems original developers of bump have shut down development at this time due to some copywriters stealing code. So does that mean unlocking a g3 would be a problem? Likely intend to purchase one in the coming days, appreciate the info
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
Not a problem. Root it, flash recovery and you are good to go for custom roms.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SourPower:
Alright thanks for the info gonna grab the phone tomorrow or over the weekend and hope firmware installed on it wont be a problem...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
It shouldnt. Stump root supports almost all.

What variant will you get?

Get D855, thats international. It has biggest rom collection.

Just Starting...

Hi,

I have just ordered a Sim Free G3 ( in the UK)and waiting for it to be shipped and have a few questions, as I will want to root etc as I have a few apps that need root

1)	Had a read around but confused. What is Bump… Do I need to worry about it?

2)	Assuming it comes with KitKat, I should root at this point Correct( Stump Root?) ? If then I want to go to Lollipop I have seen references to having to back up a partition in case I want to go back to kitkat? What do I need to do?

3)	Do I have to be careful about custom roms ( ie non UK versions) as far as the modem goes?

4)	What is the best way to fix the Screen Sharpening Bug? Is there a rom with this fix already in it? If I have to flash a kernel, can this go on any rom I choose. Does this fix really cure it?

5)	is there any other words of warning before rooting/Custom Roming ? Anything Else I should backup (EFS???) and pointers on how to Do?

Great thread BTW

Hey guys! Tomorrow I may be getting a new smartphone and I'm thinking about the LG G3 8GB which is about 250/300 euros. Do you guys think it's worth it? The maximum I can afford is 350 euros. Thanks!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
LG G3 8GB does not exist. Only 16GB and 32GB.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KodRoute:
Yeah right, sorry. The one I was looking at is actually the G3S. Then the official one is much more expensive. Thank you.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
Hi,

1. To you, as a end user you do not have to worry about Bump.

2. You can root it with several methods. Depend on variant. What variant will you get?

To get back to Kitkat just flash stock firmware.

3. You have to be careful because not all ROMs supports all variants. Always check for which variant ROM is.

4. There is. Fixing sharperning is easy. But honestly, I do not even see that effect. i would say people are picky.

5. There is not. You can always backup EFS partition. There is a TWRP version here which supports EFS backup.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilx:
Thanks

1)So what is bump tho... just interested ?

2)I am getting the 2GB/16GB Standard UK version....any idea which this will be? Restore Kitkat from here over any rom then http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2785089 ?

3) If I want to be stock lollipop and keep root, can I just flash the stock rom over rooted kitKat? Is Lollipop worth having yet?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
1. Bump is a method that everything you want to flash needs to be bumped. As a end user you wont be bumping it, evetything will be bumped already for you.

2. By standard you mean international? It is not from some carrier? If its international it should be D855. But it is written on the box and on the device so you will know.

3. You can flash prerooted Lollipop. At the moment I would say to wait for new builds.

Yes, PIN code to unlock.

Hmmm, it has been working like this for over a month (pin code on lock screen --> able to drop down navigation bar without having to enter the pin code). It seemed to start working after i upgraded to version 10t but wasn't working before that, so I thought it was a feature change in the latest release and was quite chuffed.

I really want the lollipop (really)So a hope that there is a chance that you can help me.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NatusVincere:
No nothing else, you access your TWRP and install (flash) GAPPS.

What do you mean basic little reboot menu? Do you mean stock recovery?

Because TWRP manager is just an app that schedules tasks for TWRP, you could all do it manually in the TWRP.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corey292:
Yeah, stock recovery. I must've just misunderstood. I thought once I flashed twrp recovery, it would come up when I reboot instead of stock recovery
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NatusVincere:
Well if you did flash TWRP properly click yes when offered to do a factory reset. If you did successfully flash TWRP your device wont be wiped, it will access the TWRP.

Or you could boot to TWRP with adb or terminal emulator with commands:

adb shell

su

reboot recovery
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corey292:
Oh okay. I would preferably just do it all on my phone instead of using a PC.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NatusVincere:
You don't need to use PC, use the first method with clicking yes on factory reset screen, or with terminal emulator (downloaded from Google Play) or even if you have Resurrection Remix you can enable terminal in developer tools. Btw how did you flash RR ROM if you can't access TWRP?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corey292:
I flashed the rr ROM but the gapps zip didn't flash. Then I couldn't get it to come up, but then I just downloaded the apk from the twrp website. I had a noob moment lol. This is all still very new to me. I wish there was a 'flashing for dummies' book :/

---------- Post added at 02:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

And can I ask you another question? When I want to flash a new ROM, if I download the files, open twrp manager, do I just select my zips, wipe data and cache, flash the zips, and they'll be on here?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NatusVincere:
I never used TWRP manager and you should know how to enter TWRP.

Do the steps I told you to enter your recovery.

But yeah that should be how it works, you schedule the wipe(data and cache = factory reset), you schedule zips to be installed( = flash rom) and that's it.

Hi everbody,

Yesterday I tried the hidden menu com.android.settings.ProxySelector and added the adblock plus proxy settings (127.0.0.1:2020).

Started adblock plus and everything was running well.

When I turned off adblock plus my internet connection getting lost, because of the unavailable proxy.

So I tried to remove the proxy in com.android.settings.ProxySelector menu. Clicked on finish, but nothing happens.

When I take a look at com.android.settings.ProxySelector the proxy settings (127.0.0.1:2020) were set again (or were never changed).

To get my internet connection to work again I added "*" in the "No Proxy for"-field.

Is there a possibility to remove the proxy setting totally from the system without reset the device.

Thanks in advance

If your phone doesn't show either 4G or LTE, you can go to Settings -> Mobile Data -> Mobile Networks -> Network mode -> Change "Preferred network mode" to "GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto".

How to try it what to use?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dd721411:
I mean you go to their display stores and ask staff if they can give you an LG G3 to play with. If that's possible, then you just use the phone as normal, like watching Youtube, surfing the internet, etc. and see if it heats up much (I doubt it won't but who knows?!). If you like the way it is then buy it. If you don't, return the phone and find another one that suits your needs.

Good luck! :D
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JIP0815:
I guess it depends on the way you update the phone to 5.0.

When you have some staff installed and you upgrade to 5.0 the memory handling seems to ignore the closed apps and forget to delete them out of the ram. The result is a full ram, overheating and laggs.

When resetting the 5.0 LG G3 this problems should be gone.

AT&T LGG3 D850 Sim Unlock Too Many Failed Attempts

Hi,

I entered the wrong sim unlock code into my LGG3 D850 too many times and as it says here, "Use extreme care during the unlock process, as the incorrect entry of an unlock code too many times during the life of the device permanently disables the unlock ability. The number of attempts to unlock the device is dependent on the manufacturer and model." I have contacted AT&T's customer care and they said they can not help. I have contacted LG but I am still waiting for their response. I can not go in person to an AT&T store because I am currently in China.

Hi

It's been a long time since i posted on here, but i am in need of your collective help.

I decided to root my G3 the other week, but seem to have ran into a few problems. My phone has started to heat up quite badly and the battery runs out in about 4 hours. I uninstalled all the apps that i thought may have been causing it and even un rooted, but it was still happening. I decided to restore to factory settings to see if it would help, but i can't even do this! It comes up with a 620 error saying "source booting error, verify source" in the top left corner of the screen then goes into a black screen and my notification light starts flashing green and blue. I then have to restart the phone holding down the volume down button.

Is this the dreaded bootloop? Any idea if i can resolve this? I will need to be able to wipe the phone when i come to selling it...hopefully.

Thanks in advance.

A little bit lost

Hi,

I'm a recent owner of the G3 D855, it is currently on stock ROM V20H-EUR-XX.

I would like to install the cyanogen 12.1 nightly on it. I've read the maximum I've could and the more i read, the more i was lost .

I've already installed cyanogen on my nexus 4 using ADB and TWRP so i'm no new to this.

Here the things i think i understood :

- There is now a solution to root on lollipop

- There is now a solution to install TWRP on lolipop.

So i was thinking I've just got to folow those to tutorials to have a rooted G3 with TWRP and then just download the latest nightly on cyanogen website, get some GAPPS, flash the all think and bang on !

But on the "How to install" page of cyanogen website for the D855 the is this message :

After reading this i'm completely lost.

Do I need to flash my stock rom on kitkat ? so what the point of rooting and installing TWRP on lollipop then ?

Also another question about !bump : Do i need to !bump the cyanogen nightly or is it pre-bumped ?

Thanks for the help.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NatusVincere:
The point is the kitkats bootloader which is vulnerable to bump. So yeah you could return to stock kitkat via kdz, root and flash twrp, then flash cyanogen, or you could root your device which currently has lollipop with guide you provided or with shorter version of it: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951

then after rooting your phone you could use benders autorec app which flashes the kitkats bootloader and bumped twrp. http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/apk-flash-twrp-autorec-thanks-to-t3081396

After you have TWRP fell free to flash cyanogen.

You don't need to manually bump anything, just download it and flash.

Radio/IMEI/EFS issue???

When trying to flash CM to my stock D855, I ran into problems. Tried other roms as well and was unsuccessful. Not sure if it was windows 10 or a faulty battery or a combination of the 2. I stupidly did not do an EFS backup.

Any case, flashed back to stock, and am now getting: SERVICE DISABLED or NO SERVICE messages on the lock screen with the phone constantly searching for signal. Sometimes I do get signal for very short periods. Then I can call and have data connection. But this lasts for a minute or so and then goes back to no service/service disabled. Other times I get signal, and then it seems that the phone has a problem with the radio or the firmware itself. The signal will not fluctuate, it will freeze on whatever signal strength it is at when the issue occurs, when I enable flight mode the signal is still there and if I call, nothing happens and when I end the call, it stays on the call screen saying ending call.

When I dial *#06#, I get the correct IMEI number.

I downloaded EFS professional Suite and ran Qualcomm NV Tools.

Please see attached picture.

Could the lack of the ESN number be the issue? Would it be possible to recover the ESN, or would I have to send the phone in? How do I go about removing any trace of trying to load a custom rom?

Could anyone else with a UK D855 check if they have an ESN number.

Thanks for any assistance that can be given.
