[AT&T LG G3] allgoodusernamesaretaken:
Initial take: Looks good

1.) Yes, it's 6.0

2.) Says "SD card attached with "x" remaining space available, and in looking through my SD card, it is intact - which is great. I almost removed it prior to update, but decided to back it up and leave it in. It's fine. :)

3.) Requires an update of Google play services

4.) When going to home screen, asks whether to use "home" or "easy home" as default... It seems that "easy home" is LG touchwiz. I'm defaulting to standard "home" until I know more about touchwiz.

5.) Can't be sure, but it seems a tad smoother. It still has that momentary stickiness characteristic of the d850 when immediately scrolling in an app, but smooths out. Maybe it's better at caching the screen image or its caching predicatively? Tough to say.

6.) Xcam doesn't work, nor do Xcam settings, but Opencam works. It looks like the guy who wrote Xcam is working on a 6.0 update. So, the d850 has a nice camera with two flaws. One is that it over-sharpens picture - which makes pictures really snap when you look at them, but when you zoom in, you can see those "cottage-cheese-texture-because-you-oversharpened-the-darned-picture" artifacts. Xcam settings allowed better (more natural) picture processing. This is... um... unfortunate. I was hoping they'd fix the photo post-processing because I like the standard camera's interface.

7.) When you go to make a call - it warns you that video calling can eat data from your data plan. I already knew this, but encase you didn't.

8.) When you enter the texting app, it says you can use "advanced texting"... which basically sounds like iPhone texting (you can see when someone's typing a reply... better handling of inline files, particularly large ones up to 10megs)

9.) Liking that brightness slider in the pulldown!

10.) Of course every app asks you to sync & link & socialize everything ... ;). BTW, I have no idea whether it breaks any social media apps as I don't do social media unless you count my youtube channel (which I haven't updated since before Google owned it, lol)

11.) The phone hangs up now!!! Wonderful! I bought this phone used and thought the proximity sensor was going, but it only failed in certain situations which made it seem more like a bug than HW fault. The most irritating was the phone failing to use the proximity sensor to light up the screen during or after a call. In other words, it was impossible to take the phone away from my face to dial a mailbox on a voicemail system or to hang up on a call because the screen remained black until the call had ended. I suspected it was a software bug, and sure enough - I tried a couple of calls and it worked on both. So - YMMV, but knock on wood - it seems fixed.

Looks good. I've poked and prodded everything I normally use and nothing has gone down in flames, nor has it rebooted.

Re: #6 above.

The second flaw of the LG-G3 d850 camera is that the audio noise reduction is very abrupt, so you can hear it kick in. On 5.0.1 it was a significant flaw... facepalm-worthy. But with the 6.0 update, it seems better. You can still hear it reduce and increase the volume when the sound gets loud or soft (spoken word, solo instrument etc.) but it's better. It used to "click" a little when adjusting and when it increased the sensitivity, there was also a noticeable highend "sizzle". when adjusting. The click and sizzle are completely gone now, and the compression envelope seems softer. It sounds to me like they backed-off the aggressiveness of the noise reduction just a bit and are doing some pop filtering and possibly some highend noise filtering. It's still obvious that the audio is controlled by an auto-gain circuit, but it's better - more like the audio from a point-and-shoot with auto-gain. I'd prefer the ability to turn it off entirely, but it's better now.

** one final thing.

VLC was a bit wonky. It kept re-indexing and then failing to find files. I uninstalled and re-installed it and it's back to normal.
