I have been wondering about the same thing, but hesitant to ask because I was thinking I should figure that out myself from reading other forums - but never getting around to doing so.

Seems strange we haven't heard a loud outcry from the whole G3 community if other versions had this problem as well.

We have that coma radio in the vs985, but Sprint G3s have one too. Its strange, and I suspect it is a Verizon screw-up, but maybe it's Lollipop in general.
[Verizon LG G3] RMarkwald:
Great question, I've been trying to get info from US Cellular's G3 users (I used to have US Cellular as my provider), and posted that question in their thread on another site. No one responded that they were or were not having the issues. I would assume that they are not having the issue, but am not 100% certain of this, as I am just going off of the "well no one said they were....so..." assumption.

[Verizon LG G3] Krusej23:
Does this mean that LG has pulled the update?
[Verizon LG G3] RMarkwald:
I'm seeing what you're seeing on LG's site, but did they update it outlining that 23C was available?

Verizon still has it available via OTA, as I just did a check on my phone and it wanted to download 23C.
[Verizon LG G3] Krusej23:
Ya I'm not sure. I I just noticed that when I was going to do a chat with LG to see if they had any information about the patch update for the bug fixes. The lady I talked to was clueless to everything. She told me to contact Google because they are the ones that make the software and LG doesn't change anything. She told me that multiple times after quoting LG directly from an article. Then she kept saying that if I thought it was a software issue that I should factory reset and it should fix the problem. Clearly that doesn't fix it so I said I've done that and it hasn't helped. Then she said she would look into it more and email me. We'll see if she ever emails me.
[Verizon LG G3] gregcapps:
That's funny....they don't change anything???? It that were true every phone would get a pure aosp build straight from LG.

For those with wifi sync issues, did you try to flash this (by TWRP) to disable IPv6?

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934550900

It is reported after disabling IPv6, the sync will work again...

For those on L with root, but not have TWRP yet, use this method to install TWRP:

[Verizon LG G3] matty032:
Last one of these I saw, you had to keep running the disable ipv6.apk, with a task scheduler to keep it working. Is this different? A one time install, and one time run?
[Verizon LG G3] acefr:
Sorry, I am not sure. I am on 10b (debloated, rooted. Very stable) and have no plans to change to L, so I can't try it out.
[Verizon LG G3] matty032:
I got a IPV6 router, and with TWC they provide IPV6. But, our ISP at work still does not provide IPV6 at all. So, I am staying on 12b for now. I did contact LG again, they once again gave me the number to Google Nexus support. Too bad, I didn't get a Nexus. Don't think I would be having this problem. :D
[Verizon LG G3] DigitalMD:
You should be contacting Verizon, they are the people that broke the firmware. The other carriers are not having this issue.
[Verizon LG G3] deron37129:

Root and disable ipv6 smanger script solved my notification on wifi issues. Forget waiting for VZW to push a fix.
[Verizon LG G3] joe20002000:
If I root and apply the wifi ipv6 fix, will I still receive future OTAs from Verizon?
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Good question. I'd say yes, probably. Having an otherwise totally stock OS plus stock recovery, the OTAs will likely come through. Can't guarantee it though.
[Verizon LG G3] Krusej23:
Just stumbled upon this article. Seems interesting for our situation. It says to download an app that forces all traffic to use ipv4 instead of 6. I'm going to try it out right now.

http://phandroid.com/2015/05/13/comcast-wireless-gateway-lollipop-bug/
[Verizon LG G3] RMarkwald:
Any luck?
[Verizon LG G3] speedingcheetah:
From what I have read...yes and no.....

Yes, you will receive an OTA notice and the phone will still bug u to update if an OTA is sent.

However, I have read some posts that said an OTA on a rooted stock will fail to install due to the system files being modified.

I froze the processes that checks/gets OTA....so I don't have to worry about it.

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------

It states that app works by creating a VPN connection and sets that to Google DNS servers....then routes traffic though that.

I would stay clear of that.....no idea where that VPN tunnel is being routed through.

I kinda did the same thing with my Asus router as it has an OpenVPN server built in....launch the app on my phone and I would VPN into my own network...that was a temporary workaround for this wifi issue.

Root script is the best and most effective way to go. Far as I understand the wifi issue is that is ipv6 as a whole....not just DNS processing that is causing issues. Disabling ipv6 altogether....works perfectly. You don't need ipv6 nor does it have any benefit over ipv4 currently..or for some time.

Edit: I just played with that app a bit on a spare phone i have....and according to my networking tools i have....VPN connects to a sever in China. THen is routed a few other countries.....um..yea....stay away.
[Verizon LG G3] Krusej23:
I tried the app out and it didn't work anyway.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
Best thing to do is to stay on, or revert back to, KitKat stock rooted.
[Verizon LG G3] gregcapps:
Yep...lollipop broke more than it fixed....
[Verizon LG G3] matty032:
I connected new router with IPV6 capability on my TWC connection at home. No WiFi sync problems whatsoever. However, I am still down at work. Our routers are old, and only one is IPV6 capable. But, it doesn't matter, our ISP at work does not supply IPV6, anyway. Doing the good ole WiFi-Airplane mode toggle at work. Lol.
[Verizon LG G3] DigitalMD:
Verizon is certainly given the LG flagship a black eye.....
[Verizon LG G3] Punchieo:
Subscribed... My sister has the vs985 23c and no apps auto-sync over WiFi. She's very persistent on not letting me root/unlock it.

To those who can/will root and unlock, I am running CM12.1 on my vs985 and it's 100% bug free, great battery life, and super fast... Couldn't ask for anything more. If you want to get CM, i recommend kdzing to 10b, then stump rooting, installing flashify, using that to Bump! and then clean flashing cm12.1 nightlies.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Just wanted to let you know that you don't have to downgrade to 10B to root any more. The new one click root works even on official 23C_01. Then the Play Store app "TWRP VS985 autorec" will put TWRP on it the right way.

---------- Post added at 10:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

Use GPS Status in Play Store. Reset A-GPS data from within it, then redownload the A-GPS data. You should be able to establish a lock.
[Verizon LG G3] kafreeman:
Thanks for the suggestion but no change in lock. Will fix on 2 satellites out of 24.

I used the "GPS Status & Toolbox" app.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Damn, sorry to hear it didn't help. If it were me I would go full commando on the phone. I'd eject the SD card and keep it out, I'd use custom recovery to manually wipe everything, then I'd boot into Download mode and re-flash your KDZ of choice, and before I did anything else, rooting, installing TWRP, re-inserting the SD card, before doing any of that I'd check the GPS.

It's the only thing I can think of to try.
[Verizon LG G3] kafreeman:
Reset again and it's picking up a lock quickly again.

No GPS issues here on LP stock.

[Verizon LG G3] SchmidtA99:
I don't want to start a new thread for this. Since it's just going to be a bickering fight. But does anyone think that the next update will be the same 5.1 update that is on the g4. Granted we don't know yet if it has the same problems as our version has.
[Verizon LG G3] DigitalMD:
What do you mean by "same" ? The hardware is different so they cannot be the same by definition.
[Verizon LG G3] trent999:
I am not certain that Verizon will ever release another update for the vs985, considering that it shipped with 4.4.2 when 4.4.4 had been out already for a while.

They want vs985 users to buy the G4, or the Galaxy S6, or the iPhone whatever. A new phone. Verizon thinks they have no financial incentive for supporting phones that already have updated hardware versions available from them.

FYI: Verizon gPad 8.3 Update

Just posting this as an "FYI" for all (stock) G3 owners stuck with 5.01 and the wifi issue: (originally posted in the gPad forum)

"My update came through this (5/21) afternoon.

Absolutely no problems or issues with the download or install.

Running smoothly with v 5.02 and with absolutely NO issues with my home wifi!

Now if only Verizon and LG would pull their collective heads for their collective orifices and put out a v. 5.02 for the LG G3 to correct the wifi issues with 5.01, I would feel my life had been fulfilled!

Absolutely no WiFi issues with the gPad update so "go figure"!"

This really begs the question as to why Verizon/LG can't just get a (reasonably) bug free v. 5.02 out to correct the 5.01 fiasco.

My gPad continues to run with no problems and connects with and utilizes my home wifi as it always had with no need whatsoever to make any changes to the tablet, the wifi settings, or the xFinity router.

That is all I want my stock G3 to do!
[Verizon LG G3] matty032:
Does your GPad also use Verizon's data plan? Or is it WiFi only?
[Verizon LG G3] matty032:
Guys, I have been fooled before thinking the WiFi sync issue was fixed. But since I updated Google Play services to 7.5.71 last Friday, I have not had the sync problem anymore. Now, like I said, I have been fooled before thinking it was fixed, but since I side loaded that version of Play, every hangouts call and text, and gmail have come through. Here is the link, try at your own risk:

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ices-7-5-71-1955121-430-android-apk-download/

UPDATE: Nevermind, as soon as I stuck my neck out on here, it stopped working. So that is not a fix for the sync problem.
[Verizon LG G3] maddog241:
Gmail sync workaround

I found a workaround for the Gmail Wi-Fi sync problem. I downloaded "K9 Mail" from the Play store. While I prefer the Gmail app, I used K9 Mail in the past and it worked for me. I disabled sync within Gmail for both Gmail and the other account I had configured within Gmail. I then set up Gmail account and other account in K9 Mail. I'm on day 2 and so far sync has no issues on Wi-Fi or 4G. Gmail arrives pushed as expected and the other account is set for 1 hour sync. I know there are other email clients out there and maybe something else would work as well.
[Verizon LG G3] harryzee:
Uses both. I generally have the wifi on all the time when I and the gPad are at home.
[Verizon LG G3] gregcapps:
So what are the chances we might see a officially fixed lollipop build? I've been avoiding it, but if they fix it, I might use it.
[Verizon LG G3] matty032:
I heard maybe a small update to fix it sometime this fall. That was from one Verizon rep, and an LG rep.
[Verizon LG G3] gregcapps:
Thats so kind of them to leave a major big unresolved so long. Better be 5.1 by that point...
[Verizon LG G3] matty032:
No, the business techs said it would just be a small update this fall to fix the issue. LG spent a month or so saying they could not reproduce the problem. Supposedly they are working on it now. And you have to take into account Verizon holding on to it for months to test it. Although, you see how good their testing was on this update. 5.1 Lollipop would be spring of next year. If LG brings it at all. Yeah, Verizon/LG suck.
[Verizon LG G3] gregcapps:
Well I'm happy with 4.4.2. I cant stand the new "interruptions"

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 PM ----------

And maybe the reason they can't reproduce the issue is they are testing it in house only and have properly configured ipv6 routers for their WiFi.
[Verizon LG G3] ngerber999:
Comcast is apparently making ipv6 changes in my area because about a week ago my G3 started acting like I was on dialup while all other devices performed normally. A quick change on the router to 6to4 Tunnel seems to have resolved it for now...
[Verizon LG G3] matty032:
TWC did the same to me. My phone was working great with DHCPV6. Then something changed, and I had to change my router to tunnel4to6 as well
[Verizon LG G3] DigitalMD:
All phone vendors and Cell vendors suck, Verizon just sucks a little more.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Could be, of course, just turn off IPV6 in your router and see what happens, but that could also work or break based on the ISP you have possibly.

I was under the mistaken impression that turning off IPV6 in your router would fix it. In my case, it was already off and I couldn't sync with gmail using Maildroid (it works using the gmail app). But, I went ahead and enabled IPV6 in my router and whoa! Everything works now for me. I'm probably about ready to go and root my phone now since I don't need the update. But, I'm going to hold off for a bit as I've actually survived well without root. The only reason I was rooted was to use TiBu to backup my apps and the data and settings for the apps, but with the G3's backup utility, that's not needed now. Still, I'm now beginning to think I might just go ahead and root again so I can start using TiBu once more. It's so much better than the supplied LG backup tool, but that's what saved me when I restored back to stock to obtain the LP upgrade as I wasn't going to root once I got it, so the LG Backup tool allowed me to get back to where I was before the update.
[Verizon LG G3] BladeRunner:
First try at Lollipop was a complete fail. I use the 23c kdz to update, and after getting everything setup both sms and making a phone call would cause my phone to lockup, overheat and eventually reboot. Flashed back to 12b and took the OTA to LP and now my wifi refuses to connect. I'm doing a factory wipe from stock recovery to see if that will cure it but I suspect I'll be going back to 12b.

Edit:data wipe cure the wifi issue
[Verizon LG G3] gregcapps:
Not weird at all really the system needs time to settle.

Factory Reset After Update to VS98523A

Not a bug, but I've performed 2 factory resets since updating to VS98523A. In each case the reset included the process of "optimizing" apps. Kind of a drag since I had to wait for the optimization to complete on both resets. In my experience this optimization only executes at the end of an update - not on factory resets.

Otherwise the phone is working quite well. I too experienced the gmail sync problem, and wifi flakiness. Recycling "Auto-sync data" under Settings > Accounts seems to have fixed gmail for me. As for WiFi I don't believe there is anything we can do about this.

For those interested my route to 23A included (complete stock No root)

TOT method to 10b

"Verizon Software Update Assistant" - 10b to 12b

Activity Launcher method - 12b to 23a
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Any time Cache and Dalvik are wiped, apps are optimized on the next bootup. Maybe Factory Reset under 23A wipes those? Just guessing.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
My WiFi is fine, but I'm having the gmail-sync-on-wifi issue still. I've tried toggling sync and deleting my google account. Just tried toggling accounts sync again. I really hesitate to do a factory reset...might as well go back to KK/root if I have to reinstall all the apps. :p

Aside from that admittedly minor issue, the whole thing is running remarkably well. My WiFi maxes out my cable modem speeds start-to-finish using SpeedTest.net's app.
[Verizon LG G3] Crsdr37:
Use the built in LG backup app. Do a factory reset through settings and your sync issues should be resolved was for me anyways.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
I'll give that a try, thanks! I honestly just ignored the built-in backup and didn't realize it would do downloaded apps. That's quite handy. Thanks for the tip, I'll report back whether it works. :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Wow, that worked incredibly well; pretty much equally as good as TiBu. Seems it fixed my gmail-on-wifi issue too. Thanks for the tip!
[Verizon LG G3] Crsdr37:
No problem man I was as stubborn to restoring as you never noticed and the lack of root meant losing all my apps. That is almost=to have tb my Bluetooth in my car even picked up without having to repair it!
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Well, in case you're not following along in the other thread, I don't have gmail sync on WiFi. Earlier I was at lunch and thought it worked. Turns out it just grabbed an email when initially syncing after setting up the account. Once that was finished I left. Unfortunately when I got back home it seems that was the ONLY time it sync'ed properly. I have to manually check email to get new ones.

So, like a good troubleshooter, I reset to factory again, thinking it may be something I was restoring. Nope...same behavior; it would only sync that first time and not again (unless I manually check of course). So I restored data again and am now puzzled. I'm going to play around and see if I can find something somewhere. Already tried toggling sync'ing without success. Not sure what else to do. If anybody else has any ideas, I'm all ears. Are all of you getting proper gmail syncing on WiFi?

EDIT - Haha...ok, well now I don't know what to think. I just got an email from XDA that came through on my phone just fine. I'll monitor and report back. The gremlins are going to drive me crazy I tell you!

EDIT II - Well, two emails came while I was sleeping and no notification popped up. As soon as I got off WiFi and received an email, it came up instantly. Gremlins I tell you! They're holding back my email when they see WiFi.

I might just start over. With that LG backup in-hand, I could just try KDZ'ing back to 12B, then upgrade to 23A totally clean without using root/TiBu and then restore the LG backup. Time to do so isn't great right now, but that should just take a couple hours in theory. Hmm.....

EDIT III - Might have found an easier method. I'll try this app - Push Notifications Fixer - tonight and see if it works. Might be the path of least resistance until 23B, assuming it works.
[Verizon LG G3] jlvlawrence:
Does this Gmail sync issue affect Google inbox?
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Good question. I'll download that tonight and give it a try.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It doesn't affect Inbox on my phone with 23A. I use it religiously. I don't even have the GMail app sync, but I keep it on my phone in case I need to email for work, which I can't use Inbox with yet even though they use Google.
[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
I went ahead and grabbed Inbox. I'll report back tonight. Thanks for the advice guys...if this solves it I'll just have to deal w/ Inbox's annoyance (hate, hate, hate how delete is always a two step process. I do NOT want to archive Facebook/XDA/any other notifications....who does??)
[Verizon LG G3] znender:
I just started to use 23A today and had to factory reset after doing the 10b to 23A upgrade.

After factory reset, it seemed mostly stable but I have noticed that the phone seems to lag and slow down when I view notifications on the Notifications drawer. Is anyone experiencing this?
[Verizon LG G3] andycc2:
It has been affecting me. I've been using inbox exclusively with gmail installed by notifications turned off. I tried switching between the 2 apps but both experience the intermittent wifi sync.

For what it's worth I've also tried switching between my home router's 2.4 & 5.0GHz wireless networks. Same problem on both.

I may be a bit late to the party here but I'm beginning to believe VS98523A is a pre release. The GS5 and HTC One M8 have both received official Lollipop 5.0 release statements from Verizon. I've not seen one for the G3. And as of 20 minutes ago there still wasn't an OTA update for my freshly rolled back to 12b G3.

GS5 - https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...=MjAIYvOktNJJAqwVlJsCVg&bvm=bv.87611401,d.cGU

One M8 - https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...=2QMoNAZjZ8sGWlNwuVt44w&bvm=bv.87519884,d.eXY

So maybe there's hope for a soon to be released version that fixes the gmail/wifi sync issues some of us are experiencing.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It's not the final. The source code was released for 23B, so it's almost the final, but not quite. I'm not used to source code releasing before the OTA.

[Verizon LG G3] hokiealumnus:
Well, I have bad news,and good news. The bad news is that Inbox didn't make any difference.

The good news is I can uninstall that cursed program again! :)

Aside from this admittedly minor annoyance, I haven't found one problem with 23A. It probably is a beta and not for public release, but it is darn close.

EDIT - Downloaded push notification fixer. Will report back later.

EDIT II - Nope, no help with PNF. Just plain not going to get notifications on Wi-Fi. Oh well. Will tolerate it for a bit then probably restore my TWRP backup of SkyDragon until the next LP build.

On mine you just have to touch it, but then you have to swipe to unlock. It is indeed cumbersome. On AOSP, you just touch it, it enlarges a hair, then you touch it again; which makes a lot more sense.
