Hey guys. Thinking about getting g3 but I have read too many posts about bad battery life, lag, overheating, sudden deaths, that I'm just not so sure any more. I am thinking about getting g2 instead, I know a few g2 owners that are perfectly happy with it.

Any owners of both devices can give me some advice and a quick compare? I don't care much about qhd display and laser focus, so I can't really decide.
[G3 General] Adooda:
Hey man I also upgraded from Optimus G to G3 when I was using kitkat was dissapointed but now when am on lollipop it is fast and battery life is ok doesn't lag nothing

and the fast updates all the time makes the experience amazing, the screen and the camera are way better than the optimus so if you have money go for it (sure better than the Galaxy S5)

make sure to get D855 international version so you get fast updates

Hope I helped

OK V20H OTA yesterday on my Orange French phone...
[G3 General] tscjoki:
The issue was cause by the bluetooth module which didn't close the connection properly when it was not in use anymore.

So those who had no batterie issues had bluetooth not activated I supose?

In my case , Standby-time was less than 10-12 hours on 20f !!

Now with 20h it is even better than with Kitkat ....this night after 11 hours of standby I had 93% left !! Hug difference !

Lags when streaming Media are gone, the Qi charger problem is solwed an overall I had never such a fluid OS ...nearly no lags at all.

Finally the phone has left the beta-stadium ! ?

quick circle & weather clock face - do not update

On the quick circle case, I have the weather clock face, but it doesn't seem to be updating unless I go into the weather app manually. Anyone have this problem or is just me? I tried everything I could in settings, and LG stock weather app, with no results.

I have stock V20H ROM., no root or modifications.

Any advice from you guys will be great!

Anyone experiencing battery drain and phone getting hot when placed in a pocket? After lollipop update if I keep my phone outside I get great battery life but whenever I place it in my pocket it gets very hot and drains the battery very quickly
[G3 General] AndroidCity:
Battery drain I did noticed. I've tried a reset and my battery life is great now
[G3 General] JohnnyPhate:
any way to keep twrp while flashing this?
[G3 General] AndroidCity:
This is a stock KDZ file, so sadly no. The KDZ file will wipe the TWRP and root if you flash it. W\ait for a rooted ROM with 20H for your phone or search for it on XDA.
[G3 General] rowbaggie22:
Don't know what's goin on but I've never ever had this battery last this long on this fone before
[G3 General] AndroidCity:
Wow, very nice :good: My battery life is also much better as before, but not as this... You're really lucky :eek:

Waiting for 5.0.1 update, the battery en performance should even better then the 20H update!
[G3 General] rowbaggie22:
I know I cud not believe how long it's lasted I'm on 14% now with over 3 hours screen on time it's never lasted this long before since I've had the fone

[G3 General] rowbaggie22:
My battery seems 100 percent better but only problem I have is when I press home button from an app this xda it says home has stopped everyday about really annoying I even done a factory reset after update to 20h tho
[G3 General] DoobyDroid:

[G3 General] irishandrew:
Tethering

I've had great battery life with this ROM as well, much improved, however the main problem I have come up against is an inability to tether (wifi or bluetooth, haven't tried USB).

The phone will create a hotspot and allow devices to connect to it, however they all gain "limited connectivity" and are unable to browse the Web. This feature is important to me so I'm hoping to get it back!

The ROM was installed by twrp, with root, although I did not wipe the phone first this time, so perhaps that is what will sort it. Anyone else had tethering issues with this ROM?

Cheers,

Andrew
[G3 General] jrtancinco:
I don't think its a bug. It has something to with trying to take a picture of moving objects with the flash on. The camera freezes while trying to focus the picture properly (since G3 doesn't like taking blurred pics). To fix this, turn off flash when trying to take a picture of a moving object. Noticed this since I bought the phone.

---------- Post added at 07:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 AM ----------

My battery has been a lot better since 20f (20e sucked balls). 20H is great also, though I didnt notice much difference between this and 20f.

---------- Post added at 07:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 AM ----------

No tethering issues here. On 20h, updated via OTA. Stock Non-rooted. Haven't done factoy reset since 20f.
[G3 General] zapford:
aptX Bluetooth apparently fixed..

Just a note on my experience with this version 20H... The battery life is better for me than on 20F.. additionally, i have a Sony X5 bluetooth speaker and i use Tidal to stream FLAC, previously i would get skips when using aptX linking the G3 on all Lollipop ROMS (Stock) and streaming music.. this 20H has cured this issue!!

Last night i listened to ~3hrs of music with no skips. The Bluetooth link over aptX was the issue as i have Sony MDR1-BRT (non- aptX) headphones and they never skipped with previous Lollipop stock ROMS..

Very happy that finally i can use aptX and enjoy my music!!

Anyone else noticed this?

I love battery life on 20H rom!
[G3 General] skullverine:
I tend to have this when tapping on Whatsapp notification from the lock screen. Upon existing the app, either via the back or home button, I'll sometimes get the "Unfortunately, Home has stopped" message. It's been happening since v20f.

Thank you so much for the feedback!

Exactly what I was trying to find out. Now I can update my phone to the 20H firmware.

[G3 General] manikumary:
then download your current version of kdz. when you go to store for warranty (in case) then install your current rom and show. also it don change any thing but version of software from xx to 20h. also if you convince lg support guy at store you can manage for warranty even updated 20h.

[G3 General] Razertje:
Do people even read a topic before they start asking question nowadays... Android LG Rom’s can’t be rooted. You need to downgrade to KK, install custom recovery and start from there.
[G3 General] Toug:
Do people lose their patience nowdays?

I have read most the topic pages without find the answer.

You say LG Rom's can't be rooted, but just after you say downgrade to KK, (LG KK??)

You coud just say, LG Lollipop can't be rooted yet if you are sure on what you are talking about.
[G3 General] Razertje:
Not when the same question gets asked 10 times a day...

Flash stock KitKad KDZ file via LG Flash Tool.

Root via PurpleDrake, install TWRP Manager, and TWRP Recovery.

Flash bumped 20H rom, or any other ROM. Fixed :)
[G3 General] Toug:
Thanks. Will think if it is really useful to root my g3.

[G3 General] danhthuan269:

[G3 General] iLHaNroID:
Finally! 20h update has arrived in Sweden too. Liked the Lollipop navigation buttons and hope battery time will be as good as it was so with the KK before, at least. We'll see.
[G3 General] gcdnolasco:
I got my G3 16GB version from Amazon ES last week and it immediately prompted me to update to 20H.

So far, I didn't experience any annoying lag issues and everything runs pretty smoothly. Battery life is also great, giving me an easy 40 somthing hours with regular use. (Although I don't have that many apps installed)

Btw, anyone know how I can make screen turn itself on when I receive a whatsapp message? It turns on with messages but not whatsapp...

Thanks!
[G3 General] rowbaggie22:
Hi try Goin 2 settings in whatsapp and notifications and there shud be an option for pop-up
[G3 General] gcdnolasco:
Hi, Thanks for your input.

However, the popup has the disadvantage of showing the message itself, although I have the 'Hide sensitive data' on the Apps notification settings, and also being kind of big.

What I really wanted was for the small notification rectangle to turn on the screen, at least that's what happens with SMS messages.

Thanks again!

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

Hi again,

I was able to do get it to "work" with the Heads-up notifications app. The downside is that it also shows a popup on the top of the screen itself but it let's you define the opacity of that popup so it isn't that bad...

This is an LG Stock ROM - not an XDA Developer ROM.

[G3 General] c128:
I notice that there are a couple of posts regarding Quick Circle issues with this ROM in this thread, but mines a bit more fundamental; I've posted elsewhere on here, but only just found this.

Now - I upgraded to V20h-EUR-xx using the LG tool a few weeks ago (or whenever it was released).

All was fine until I performed a factory reset a couple of days ago...

After the reset, I can't change the Quick Circle clock face from the default analogue clock, and the "Settings" option for Quick Circle is disabled and greyed out. Details here, in reply to someone else's thread: http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/help/problem-quick-circle-t3047529

Anyone seen this/have an idea how to resolve it?
[G3 General] jrtancinco:
Try installing Quick Circle Apps from google play. There's an option in that app to enable/disable the settings icon (where the clock faces are changed). Let us know if that solves your problem.
[G3 General] c128:
Unfortunately this doesn't help (details on the linked thread).

I originally had this installed from the start, and actually thought it might be an issue with it that was causing this oddity, but the problem's there whether it's installed or not. The clock face can't be changed and "Settings" is unchecked (but disabled, so can't be added).
[G3 General] haenraets:
I did have the same problem when I was running a custom Rom. No idea why this happened. Backed up my phone, factory reset and flashed another rom. The problem is gone now.
[G3 General] c128:
Thanks - might give a backup and reset another go with this existing ROM first and see if that works.

Doesn't seem to be a general issue with this ROM, from what I can tell from folk here, so that seems good.
[G3 General] c128:
Just as a follow-up, in case anyone searches and finds this: I did a further factory reset (this time from boot using power-on/volume down - although I doubt that's significant?) and all was well with the Quick Circle clock post-reinstall.

Odd.
[G3 General] mrzodiac:

[G3 General] JohnnyPhate:
Yes, without root. It actually wipes everything. It even unroots your device if it was rooted. You just conect it in download mode to pc, and apropriate software flashes entire rom.

Look in the OP/XDA or on YouTube for step by step guides how to use the LG Flash Tool if you are inexperienced. When you open the Flash Tool you see at the bottom NORMAL FLASH (no wipe) and CSE FLASH (full wipe). I always choose CSE for the best result.

The new soft keys don't look very good in my opinion. LG has got them looking much larger than u see in ASOP builds.

You better check your apps or services mate, i lost my first percent of battery after about 8-9 hours in standby with 20F. Maybe you have to much activity in standby on your phone.

[G3 General] Sharpshooterrr:
I do have quite a lot of apps and widgets in my phone, and it loses about 10-12% overnight, compared to 3-5% overnight while it was on Kitkat.

On GSam battery monitor, it always shows that "Android System" and "Kernel (Android OS)" eat up a substantial portion of the battery. Anything wrong here?
[G3 General] gee2012:
I have about 115 apps installed and everything on full sync and i lose about 2-3% a night, i kid you not :)
[G3 General] Sharpshooterrr:
I have 196 apps installed from Google Play Store and 33 from Amazon App Store. Something is wrong here. The fact that on Lollipop, the standby time has gone considerably worse than Kitkat without changing anything, maybe it's the ART thing which some of my old apps are having issues with.
[G3 General] gee2012:
Could be. You could install CPU Spy free to monitor the cpu`s activity or a batterymonitor app.
[G3 General] Sharpshooterrr:
I already have GSam and it just shows me Android System and Kernel eating about 30% - which is huge since the game I use most takes up only about 5%.
[G3 General] gee2012:
Thats quite much, kernel and system use about 10% on my phone. Do you have location power saving mode (wifi only) enabled or high accuracy? And disable the LG quick circle cover option if you don`t use it.
