[Verizon LG G3] Jpot:
It seems the WiFi sync issue is really a problem with Google Cloud Messaging push notifications, specifically. Notifications from a GCM testing app (that I can't link to, due to noobishness) come through instantly on 4g, and on WiFi not at all. That's why some notifications work just fine, but others don't come through at all. I discovered this when trying to troubleshoot issues with Pushbullet universal copy & paste, which uses GCM to push the clip table updates. Any ideas on how to resolve this? I tried to downgrade to Google Play Services 7.0.96, but was disallowed, as I don't have root and am away from my Windows computer for the next several days.

Did you try the IPv6 fix detailed in the JasmineROM thread?

IPv6 fix working perfectly for me. Google notifications worked most of the time before, but sometimes delayed or never at all. Now they all perfectly.
[Verizon LG G3] deron37129:
Is there any ipv6 fix that does not require root
[Verizon LG G3] muiriddin:
I believe the alternative fix is to disable ipv6 on your router. That fix would only work while you were using that router however...
[Verizon LG G3] deron37129:
Got it
[Verizon LG G3] workdowg:
I'm actually thinking this is a Lollipop 5.0.1 "feature" (play services). I have the same issue on my Nexus 9 WiFi only also... Turning off ipv6 on the router and disabling on the phone only worked for a while. I did a contact sync fix and that seemed to help, but not on the tablet. Now I am upgraded to 23C and the whole issue is starting over again...
[Verizon LG G3] ngerber999:
EDIT: never mind my bad it was testing Chromed data savings proxy. On on ipv4 is why I don't notice it... Stupid me...

I am not so sure the issue is ipv6

personally. I have been running Lollipop without a factory reset for two days now. My gmail and Outlook365 mail have been working flawlessly whether on Wi-Fi or not.

If be curious what results people get when testing their ipv6 connections. According to http://test-ipv6.com/ I pass 10/10.

I wonder if the difference is that I am using Google's DNS servers instead of Comcast's which weren't ready for ipv6 in my area?

[Verizon LG G3] SchmidtA99:
I took the 23a update on friday. And the sync issues are happening to me randomly (it will work for a while then randomly stop syncing). I went to the website above and I don't have an ipv6 ips address so I got a score of 0/10 this is with a local ISP in Iowa.
[Verizon LG G3] Krusej23:
Just talked to verizon support on chat and they said the wifi issue has been reported to LG and they are working on an update for it. She said it was reported a couple weeks ago to LG and that they are expecting an update soon. We'll see how true that is considering they just pushed an update to everyone that breaks the syncing of google services on wifi.
[Verizon LG G3] matty032:
Not only does my gmail not sync on wifi, I can't receive sms or phone calls to hangouts. This really sucks since that is my only phone dialer I use.
[Verizon LG G3] muiriddin:
"Bright side for big red, it will cause people to turn off wifi, which results in more data usage. Now you know exactly why they pushed this anyway" (removed his tinfoil hat and suddenly forgets what he just said and happily disables wifi to get google updates)

So let me get this right. The "Disable IP6" app does NOT fix this issue? I did turn off IP6 on my router and that did not help. So, most likely I have answered my own question.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
I've heard that it does, but you have to keep re-running it. Devs for Jasmine & SkyDragon has implemented a cron job (recurring action) that disables it and ensures it's disabled repeatedly. The other alternative is to use a script.
[Verizon LG G3] muiriddin:
It is my understanding that disabling IPv6 at the router only worked for some folks, not all. That "fix" probably depends upon how the router behaves with IPv6 disabled. The disabling of IPv6 on the device (requires root) was supposedly better... I will update with my own findings when I'm home and can do additional tests.
[Verizon LG G3] gregcapps:
When I checked my router ipv6 was already disabled, so it was no help for me.
[Verizon LG G3] matty032:
I have learned from my angry as hell spousal unit, that even with WiFi off, I am missing calls, and hangouts messages. I checked my account online, and sure enough, I had missed all her calls during the day, and all hangouts messages. I have been forced to give up my gvoice number everyone has, and use my cell number. I have forwarded my gvoice to the cell number. uninstalled the hangouts dialer. Set hangouts to sms. Now I have to use the fugly baby puck looking LG dialer. Grrrr I just got this phone less than a month ago. In chatting with verizon, they state no one has contacted them with this issue. Lying scum!!:mad:
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
Matty, revert to Kit Kat ?
[Verizon LG G3] matty032:
Please trent999 tell me how. I asked Verizon to send me a phone to replace it. But they refused.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
I understand. I think a lot of people are going to be pretty upset with this OTA. For one thing it has the old, mostly fixed in 5.1, memory leak involving the boot animation buffers, I think.

To go back to nice stable stock Kit Kat, you could use the 12b .kdz file, or the 10b .kdz, or the full revert to stock 10b .TOT file method. Instructions are in other threads here.

You might want to flash Skydragon or Jasmin. At least those guys are working hard to make the vs985 really work right on L.

Verizon...not so much.
[Verizon LG G3] RMarkwald:
It would appear that the IPv6 explanation is correct. I tested this last night (it was late), and this AM when I got into the office.

I enabled IPv6 on my router, and set it up (Charter is my ISP and is IPv6 capable). Rebooted router and phone, confirmed that my public IP was an IPv6 one, which it was, then started sending emails from my work email to my Gmail account. Notifications came through right away (well about 10-15 seconds).

At work we have a similar setup (same brand router and ISP). IPv6 was disabled. As soon as my phone connected, I tested emailing work to Gmail. No notification. I waited 15 minutes, and still nothing. The emails were there, confirmed via web browser. Manual sync on phone for Gmail pulled them. Logged into the router and setup IPv6. Rebooted router and phone. Sent multiple work to Gmail emails, and notifications came through in about 10 seconds. I was also receiving other emails (Best Buy, etc) too and getting notifications right away from Gmail.

I apologize if this has been explain/tested already, I thought I would share my findings from 2 completely different locations. It is unacceptable that LG/Verizon would let this out as the OTA, as a regular user (not very techy) should not have to root their phone or enable/disable IPv6 settings in their router.
[Verizon LG G3] Krusej23:
So what you are saying is to call my ISP(Windstream) to turn on IPv6 on my home router. Is that something I can do without having to call them or do they have to flip a switch somewhere too?
[Verizon LG G3] RMarkwald:
You could, but I wouldn't do that. I have heard that LG is aware of the issue and will have to release a fix for it, but no ETA was provided (of course). I just tested this to see if the IPv6 theory was legit, and it appears that it is. I have Charter for my ISP and an Asus RT-AC87U, so I logged into my router and set up IPv6, which was disabled by default. Charter has a web page outlining what information is needed to setup your router to use IPv6, not sure if Windstream has anything like that or not.

I would not recommend bending over backwards to enable IPv6, but wait for LG/Verizon. The reason I did it was curiosity, as I work in IT and tinker with router firmware/settings a lot, and luckily Charter's information was pretty easy to understand/set up.
[Verizon LG G3] Krusej23:
The problem is I was the one that talked to Verizon support yesterday and they could see that the bug was reported to LG weeks ago so I'm not holding my breath on an update within the month on this.
[Verizon LG G3] RMarkwald:
It appears from a quick Google search that Windstream doesn't support IPv6 yet, even though they talk about it. You could call them to find out if they support it. I think how fast LG and Verizon move on this would be the volume of people calling/complaining.
[Verizon LG G3] kafreeman:
I can confirm enabling IPv6 on my router enabled notifications while on Wi-Fi.

My wife and I both have the VS985. I enabled IPv6 and both phones started getting hangouts / email notifications. We both missed some hangouts last night and got a notification about three hours after they were sent.
[Verizon LG G3] RMarkwald:
Not sure if you've noticed this too, but seems that my G3 has an IPv6 address, but won't use it after it is disconnected then reconnected to the wifi network (like leaving to go to work, then coming home). I have to reboot my phone for it to use the IPv6 address, meanwhile, all other devices (2 computers, iPad, Droid Turbo, 2 N7's) will all use their IPv6 addresses without issue when disconnected/connected. Not sure if this is A) normal for this device and B) normal behavior for Charter's 6rd implementation, so even with enabling, it is 75% hit and 25% miss.

I'm using the site test-ipv6.com to test and see what public IP the site is showing that the device is using.
[Verizon LG G3] kafreeman:
I'm noticing this... Reboot cures it. I'm using ipv6 addresses assigned from my router on the internal network.

Cycling Wi-Fi also seems to correct it. - EDIT NVM, no it doesnt.

Add bluetooth music streaming to bugs...both mine and a co-worker's G3 having issues with skipping/degrading while paired to his car stereo. Weird thing is, only his car, all the other bluetooth devices (speakers, headsets etc) all work fine. Pair non-lollipop devices to his car, work fine.

Haven't had any wifi or sync issues.

[Verizon LG G3] RMarkwald:
I went back to 12B on Tuesday morning. I will wait until a fix has been released.
[Verizon LG G3] kafreeman:
Disconnected twice from wi-fi yesterday and I got notifications with no issues without restarting the phone.

We'll see how it goes again today.
[Verizon LG G3] deron37129:
If i connect to xfinitywifi i have no issues but if i conne t to the router they gave me its a differnt story
[Verizon LG G3] DigitalMD:
Blahahaha, Verizon is your friend.... they have never had a "quick fix" it will take them 4 to 6 weeks to test things even after LG sends it to them.
[Verizon LG G3] ohlin5:
While it is sad that an OTA starts with such a major issue, I have to say that this is a prime example of why I'll never own a non-rooted & unlocked device if there's any part of me that can avoid it lol....much better for ME to have the say of WHEN and HOW and TO WHAT the device that I OWN gets upgraded haha :) Unless I ever has work situations or the like forbidding me from rooting/unlocking, then never again will I be found aboard the VZW upgrade train :p With that said, Verizon's update almost certainly won't be super quick, and it most definitely will not be 5.1.
[Verizon LG G3] david_brent1:
I've been running the OTA update since I got it the first day and overall I'm pretty disappointed. Negative things I've noticed:

- WiFi signal is either worse or something else is wrong with it. I'm getting noticeably slower transfers at the same spots in my house. Nothing else has changed in my home network.

- Multiple apps are just crashing now (Spotify, Reddit Is Fun, for example). These apps never crashed before the update.

- Phone has locked up and rebooted while I was using Chrome. Since I bought the phone in July, I never experienced that.

- Battery life is worse. I was getting 4hrs+ with just Stock, Rooted, and Greenify. Now I'm lucky if I can get 3hrs.

If they offered an OTA revert back to Kitkat. I would be all over it. I loved the performance of this phone before this update, and what makes it even worse is we took all these performance hits, and I don't even see any really awesome features in LP. Bummer.

[Verizon LG G3] matty032:
After an update to google, my hangouts is getting SMS, and ringing on incoming calls on home WiFi. I read they were speeding up hangouts on the server end. Maybe that is helping me out.

UPDATE: Now its back to the WiFi sync issue. Why it started working for a few hours is beyond me. And now my work email through the Outlook app will also not sync with WiFi on.
[Verizon LG G3] speedingcheetah:
I to have noticed the ipv6 bug. I did try enabling ipv6 on my Asus router and my CenturyLink DSL....(i have used it before) but it dod not solve the wifi sync issue.

I did, however, enable OpenVPN app on my phone and on my router....so now I can fire that up while on public wifi and everything works fine. Used all day today on my works open wifi.
[Verizon LG G3] _wes:
I have been running 23C for about a week - not rooted - and the wifi at home is horrible. I have the sync issue, where nothing updates. Tried IPv6 on my router (Charter - supposed to be enabled, but not working) and nothing works.

However - I found a weird workaround - if I turn on airplane mode - which just shuts off mobile data and allows wifi - all works great. Weird.

I'm subb'd - want to see when/if this gets corrected. We don't have unlimited data.....

When press the volume down + home button I get everything okay but I see SWrev 2 in the list. Is this okay to return to Verizon?

I know before the locked bootloader I needed to do triangle away, I assume this doesn't work anymore as I was already locked.

It maybe a noob question, and I maybe in the wrong section, but here it goes

I own a T-Mobile Galaxy s4 (m919)

Kernel Is not seandroid Enforcing........ etc.

and then it restarts and takes me to the recovery again

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gurnted:
Update CWM or TWRP to latest version. Try formatting system partition from "advanced wipe" and reboot back into recovery to try flashing.

As for Odin restore. Don't try flashing an image that contains a bootloader older than what is on the device.

If (full) MDL has been flashed MDB will fail...and so on. Try the 4.3 or 4.4 restore image instead.

noticed it was the MDL restore guide being followed. So if it is failing try 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 odin image

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] XDAUserWork:
What does MDB stand for?

Additionally, although a 4.3/4.4.X rom is recommended; is there anyway to have Odin successfully flash from Android 4.4.2 (M919UVUFNB4) to Android 4.2.2 (M919UVUAMDL)? Perhaps by flashing the bootloader first?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
No. You can flash an MDL rom, but not firmware
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] XDAUserWork:
The baseband M919UVUAMDL is only a rom? Why is it not considered a firmware? Moreover, what is the difference between a rom and a firmware?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dandman808:
trying to untangle the mess I seem to have made

I have the same problem as the OP and have been trying to flash back to stock. Problem is that I spend the time to download these huge files only to have them end up as a ".7z" file - which is not recognized by Odin.

I finally found one that (within the zip file) had an ".md5" file. In the process of 'unzipping' this file as we speak. *keeping my fingers crossed*

I remember reading somewhere that this had something to do with the Samsung Knox program and "tripping the knox counter" or something like that. I found forums that also said programs like Triangleaway don't work with Knox-infused devices. Is this true. . . ?

I am starting to feel like I should have paid the $40 bucks to have one of those prefab 1-click ("guaranteed") programs do this for me.

[Galaxy Tab S General] heXacode:
Hi all. I'm looking to buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5" tablet. Just needed a couple questions answered.

One... I notice in development that there is SM-T700, SM-T800, SM-T805 and so on. The one I'm buying says SM-T800. What's the difference between the others?

Two... My aunt got me an iPad Air but I never told her my hatred for Apple products. Would Best Buy take the iPad Air for money or exchange? I don't have the receipt. Just the box it came in.

Three... Is the Tab S the newest product by Samsung even though I see it was released last summer?

Four... I can't tell which product has had better reviews between the Tab Pro, Tab S and Note. Are more people on the Tab S than the other 2?

Five and last question... I bought the Note 4 a couple days ago and I have seen people talking about buying tablets that pair up better with what phone they have. Will the Tab S and Note 4 go together well?

Thanks for any insights.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
1.) SM-T800 is your model (wifi version). The SMT805 is lte, Smt700 is the 8.4 tab s model and SMT705 is the 8.4 lte tab s.

2.) Probably not... Idk different stores have different things

3.) Its the newest. But the Tab S2 will be coming out this summer

4.) Less people I have seen on the tab s idk. Tab pro threads are kinda dead since the tab s release. Not sure about the tab note.

5.) I dont own a note 4 sorry. Side sync did work with the s5 so my guess is that it should work woth newer models. Best to ask bestbuy/samsung support for that.

Hope thos helps!

Thanks for your input. It helped a lot. I had to dig in more about if Best Buy would take the iPad. They will as long as iCloud Activation is disabled and everything wiped off. Doing that right now. They will give me $115 for it. I'll use that towards the Tab S 10.5" tablet.
[Galaxy Tab S General] ratman6161:
I'm not a lover of Apple products either. But I'm betting you could sell the iPad Air for significantly more than Best Buy is offering. Assuming its the Air and not the Air 2, Apple is selling new 16 GB WiFi only models for $399.00.

http://store.apple.com/us/buy-ipad/ipad-air

Bet you could get at least $200 for it and possibly more on a private sale vs the trade in.
[Galaxy Tab S General] heXacode:
Yep its an Air. Not Air 2. Its exactly what I would do what you said. More money is better but the issue is I have only one day to do this. It would take a considerable amount of time trying to sell it for more.
