This update ticks me off. Even after a factory reset I get no notifications. It doesn't matter if Wi-Fi is on or off.
[Verizon LG G4] pettigrew95:
Awesome! If I update and then don't like it can I just KDZ back to my 11a image and vice versa?
[Verizon LG G4] laurasaurisrex:
Probably not. I haven't seen anyone confirm, but I'm willing to bet the boot version was updated to v2. 11a is v1. Trying to rollback will likely result in a hard brick. The other US carriers that have had more than one OTA updated the boot version each time as well.

[Verizon LG G4] pettigrew95:
Wouldn't the bootstack roll back with the img though? Is bootstack not contained within the KDZ?
[Verizon LG G4] laurasaurisrex:
It does, but incorporation of anti-rollback has something in it that prevents downgrading even through a KDZ. I don't know enough of the technical details behind why it doesn't work.
[Verizon LG G4] pettigrew95:
Hm, thanks for that info...I guess I'll wait until there's more feedback on the new update before I take the plunge. Some people are saying it's great and I see others saying it worsens battery life, makes games unplayable, and breaks your notifications on WiFi...
[Verizon LG G4] ghostbustaj:
Theses are the supposed fixes:

Calendar enhancements

Battery improvements

Keyboard enhancements

LG Backup

Camera enhancements

GPS enhancements

Exchange Active Sync enhancements

Touch Improvement

Security enhancements

ALSO I hear bluetooth battery drain has been corrected.
[Verizon LG G4] vo_danh:
On 11A I was browsing constantly the other day and got 6-7 hours. Which is really damn good actually. I did turn off wifi/bluetooth/gps, and small stuff like touch vibration etc. I would say it does get down to 10-20% in the evening if I use it. Seems to me the screen is taking up the most power. Since I got a quick charger, there has been zero problems. It charges to full in under an hour from 20-30% so if I charge it mid day during a meeting or just while working its full again. I also bought TrendOn batteries, 2 batteries + charger was only $29.99 on amazon. This is great to swap on the go.

I was hoping there would be a better quicker root but it looks like you guys are flashing back to stock pretty easily so i guess its time for me to take the jump and root.

So on 11A, i was using UC browser, and ocasionally it would zoom and resize the page, are you guys telling me this was the touch screen bug? I also noticed I had a ton more spelling mistakes than before. I thought I was just not used to the size, but sounds like it could be this bug as well. sob.
[Verizon LG G4] Spookymyo:
I wonder why some phones are different than others? My phone doesn't have any touchscreen issues at all. It's smooth, quick, and responsive.
[Verizon LG G4] Katmeat:
That definitely sounds like a reason to unroot and accept the upgrade to 12a. Like others, my battery problems and overheating issues under a rooted 11a has made the phone almost unusable for me.

Has anyone tried unrooting with SuperSU with success? Or is it necessary to use the flash tool or kdz back to root?

Thanks much.

ota MAY block bootloader unlock

just fyi - it looks like if you OTA, installing a new firmware, you change a version of your phone that affects something with the bootloader....moving from v0, to v1, to v2, etc. there seems to be a bootloader unlock on the way: http://xdaforums.com/g4/general/unlock-unofficial-bootloader-unlock-t3222737

however, if you took an OTA it looks as if you will be out of luck.
[Verizon LG G4] howtogetnexus6:
until now i have not got a message for OTA, I rooted my device at first,,and flashed 11A KDZ several days ago because of reason. I am not in net of verzion,but a cdma net in China.Anybody kowns that ?
[Verizon LG G4] the_passenger:
You need to be on Verizon network to get the OTA.
[Verizon LG G4] :
It's blocked alreadybif you are on 11a.

11a is v1 not v0
[Verizon LG G4] drdiehl:
Battery life

my rooted 11A battery life took a dive after rooting, but settled down after a day and has been working great ever since. Good life and very fast charging, very responsive etc.
[Verizon LG G4] xgerryx:
To anyone thinking about taking that 12a rooted imagine and going to town, I would wait. Way too many posts about things going wrong with it and even not booting at all. My phone actually works for the moment, I'm not about to screw it up by jumping into an image of a rooted 12a by a non-dev that is having tons of issues. Just my 2 cents.
[Verizon LG G4] dmeeks72:
Overheating Issues

For Kat and others who are having overheating issues:

I was having overheating issues as well (not rooted) and found out (in my case) it had something to do with the SD Card and an app or multiple apps.

To fix my overheating issue, I pulled the SD Card for a couple of days and noticed no overheating. I then went ahead and cleared data on several apps I used that had SD Card Data listed. I went back into those apps and let them re-download the data and then stuck my SD Card back in. After several days of usage, I have not had the overheating/battery drain problem. I hope this helps.

rooted update files from jessi

using one drive
[Verizon LG G4] player911:
Have you flashed this? I downloaded his rooted 12A and it wouldn't boot (system boot error AFTER LG logo and before Verizon boot logo), forcing me to flash back to 11A. No big deal but curious. I am downloading again now. It doesn't hurt to try. I was able to flash 11A over 12A, so why couldn't we snag a 10A and flash that?

Can you provide a MD5 file if you successfully flashed the one you linked? I got 6FC6B172592BE6BB66F2592FCE1D294C when I downloaded Jessi's file.

EDIT:

I downloaded this file form OneDrive and got the exact MD5 checksum. So I am assuming this is bad too. Please remove the link from your post so people can stop downloading bad files.
[Verizon LG G4] :
O.o i matched the md5 my bad. took the link down
[Verizon LG G4] player911:
No problem guys, I know everyone is at work and crap. No harm no foul for me. I am back working on 11A like nothing ever happened.

Honestly it would probably be a good idea to post both the unrooted IMG file and the rooted IMG file. I don't have much to do tonight. So maybe I'll KDZ back to 11A, factory wipe, grab the OTA, grab the system IMG, post it. Then root it and post it.

I also want to try to flash back to 11A from 12A because I did it a few times already.
[Verizon LG G4] ghostbustaj:
This update is great for the phone. But I am no longer getting notifications over WiFi anymore....just like the G3 problem.

I'm on the phone with Verizon as we speak.
[Verizon LG G4] :
if you can flash from 12a to 11a then its still V1 which is good and didn't update the bootloader. all SW fixes.
[Verizon LG G4] CPngN:
I've been having this issue since around last Friday, WITHOUT trying to upgrade my 11A rooted Vzw G4. I had run up against the end of my data so I blocked cellular data for Google Play Services and hangouts a week ago. I've since found the missing blocked Play services and unblocked it, but all weekend it has continued to not notify me of new messages until I enter Hangouts and the account which the messages came in on. I think at the same time I had these issues, they've been changing things and working on rolling out 5.0 and apparently it has affecfed many of us.

I'm just now installing Hangouts 5.0 from an APK mirror, prior to even attempting 12A. Is anyone else still having random hangouts "hangs" with regards to notifications / new messages showing up?

(Should this be copied to a new thread perhaps?)
[Verizon LG G4] player911:
Oh crap. My gf and I use Hangouts religiously. So can someone elaborate on the problem, what is affected, etc? It was mentioned the G3 had this problem. Was it ever solved? What was the solution?

If Verizon botches the phone, then they can swap it out. But I may hold off because I do not have cell service at work; only WiFi. I need my phone to notify me of Hangouts, Emails, Gmails, Messenger, Snapchat, etc.
[Verizon LG G4] scrillakev:
Once connected to a WiFi network you no longer receive notifications on GMail, Google Hangouts, & Twitter from what I know. I use all of these applications heavily and it really sucks that the update broke it for me.

I factory reset and it still does the samething. Just got out of the online chat with Verizon they are aware of the problem and currently working on a hotfix.
[Verizon LG G4] kafreeman:
That's good news.... The G3 stayed that way forever to the point I bought a G4 thinking it couldn't happen again. There's was an update to the G3 that fixed the issue eventually.

Don't know if I can buy another LG device after this. If the camera wasn't so fantastic......
[Verizon LG G4] fr4nk1yn:
RANT!

So it's confirmed you can roll back?

I'm going to call Verizon tomorrow and complain greatly about this update.

I wiped again today just for giggles.

Ran some benchmarks because I'm one of the guys who say it's a good indicator of how different two devices are.

I've been using an old Note 3 to keep my daily Mortal Kombat X bonus going, so I tried NFS:NL, then ran Antutu, GeekBench, PassMark, and 3DMark rebooting and allowing the phones to cool in between each.

The N3's scores were close in all but PassMark and was HIGHER in 3DMark. Using ES 3.1 the 3DMark score was 1/3 of the Note 3, with ES 3.0 it was behind by only 40 points but still, they derped something. a Snapdragon 800 shouldn't suddenly be putting out higher framerates then our devices which was fine before.

Indecently battery life is also worst for me. It's now struggling to get through 3 hours of browsing, G+ with some usual gaming.
[Verizon LG G4] ghostbustaj:
It's about every notification possible, minus instagram for me. Snapchat isn't working as well. Fortunately, I do not like Hangouts and use Textra so my texts are coming through.

Basically all Google related notifications are not working. Gmail, etc... And most other apps as well.

I too talked to Verizon and the lvl 2 tech also told me they know about it, but never mentioned anything about a hot fix or fix period.

I also called LG and that was a horrible experience. Dude put me on a 45 minute hold... Said he was talking to Google. Lol then the line disconnected.

I dunno but I'm not going through this bs anymore from Verizon if this doesn't get fixed ASAP. The g3 had the same problem and it took em like 4 months to fix it.

I read somewhere it's because of ipv6 (Internet Protocol version 6), try disabling ipv6 with this and see if it helps...

---------- Post added at 01:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 AM ----------

You aren't rolling back because you first have to understand how the phone works...

There is a boot image which is the bootloader and other things. When you don't do the OTA, the bootloader will stay at 11a or whatever version you had.

Then there is the system image which is how root is obtained but if you didn't do a OTA first, you will basically have a bootloader from whatever version you ran first and the system image will be 12a, both are supposed to be the same version or else you will have problems. That's the reason you can still rollback because you are really just rolling back the system image while the bootloader was never upgraded in the first place if you tried to do the 12A rooted image without first going back to stock on the version you had before and OTA so the phone is 12A before you replace the system image.

[Verizon LG G4] player911:
This sounds correct.

I would be leery of taking the actual OTA update. I was updating the 12A system IMG on a 11A bootloader and it was barking at me and would not load. This makes perfect sense if they have safeguards in the OS to prevent using different bootloaders (like we did on the G2/G3 to keep the TWRP recovery hack).

I am interested in the IPv6 tweak. I would love to take the update for the touchscreen fixes but absolutely no way would I do that at the expense of Google Service Notifications.
[Verizon LG G4] natec003:
Ok, so I took the update on Friday and have been participating in the forum regarding the notification issue. I have also been contacting verizon via email and support online regarding the issue. Starting this morning my notifications have been working fine via WiFi (no ipv6 connection). I have literally done nothing different besides updates to a couple of apps. The weird thing is they were not apps I have been having issues with. The only thing I can think of is updates to the verizon apps that I unfroze due to verizon requesting I do so while trouble shooting have updated.... I really don't think this would have an effect, but I imagine a lot of us around here try to remove as much bloat as possible. Just sharing my experience, if this makes zero sense to anyone around here I definitely agree. The apps that updated after I reenabled them are "my verizon mobile" and "verizon support and protection".. Regardless I am now receiving notifications for gmail, snapchat, and espn on my work WiFi which did not happen yesterday.

Edit: problem has returned I have to no idea why they worked for about an hour...
[Verizon LG G4] usefulidiot127:
Is anyone else unavailable to see the update on their (unrooted) phone? I'm wondering if it just hasn't rolled out to me yet or if Verizon pumped the brakes due to these IPV6 issues.
[Verizon LG G4] :
Hmm I went from 10a to 11a by the rooted system flahs.

That make my bootloader 10a lol
[Verizon LG G4] dmeeks72:
I have had no issues yet after the upgrade. I have been receiving text messages via wi-fi and all notifications with the apps I use (facebook, ubersocial (twitter), e-mail (K-9), etc. My wi-fi is using the IPv4.

Battery life doesn't seem like it has changed either better or worse. I was on stock, not rooted and just did the update without doing a factory re-set. The phone seems to run smoother for me and I'm getting better response with the touchscreen. Overall, I am pleased with the update.
[Verizon LG G4] fredderf81:
i am not familiar with the device enough to know - there has to be a code or a program/way to see what version of the bootloader one is one?? anyone know what the service access code is for this one??
[Verizon LG G4] player911:
I am not sure that is correct because the System partition will not boot unless there is a matching bootloader. Hence why I was unable to flash 12A when I had a 11A bootloader; you literally get a boot error saying so when you try.

I think everyone got updated to 11A automatically. I believe you were probably running 11A when you flashed the 11A rooted system partition (else it wouldn't boot).
[Verizon LG G4] :
I never took the ota. I waited for a rooted version to come out and did the root process for it. But I never actually went to update and installed the update for the phone using the LG way. It kept allbmy data and I didn't kdz or flash anything else besides the rooted ota method.

O.o I know better to wait. Been on this scene for ages lmao
[Verizon LG G4] abbazaba:
My phone will not see the update... stuck on 11a. I went as far as to reenable ALL apks i had previously disabled with the Debloater tool. Any ideas? Non-rooted over here.
[Verizon LG G4] ghostbustaj:
Yup, I was gonna say, I didn't have those blocked or paused or whatever...

It came back huh? I've noticed that when you restart your phone with WiFi on, you will get notifications as soon as it boots up. But once the initial reboot notifications show, nothing. At least...I just noticed that right now.

---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

Hopefully, Verizon pulled the update. Since I'm sure they are getting inundated by phone calls, emails, etc about the notification problem.
[Verizon LG G4] kafreeman:
I've noticed that after a reboot everything works fine until I leave the radius of the Wi-Fi network. Once it reconnects, then I lose IPv6, and notifications stop. IPv6 won't work again unless I am on Verizon network or I reboot within the Wi-Fi network.
[Verizon LG G4] FatHeadBob:
Wifi, Notifications and Touch Screen

Just to echo, after the update I'm not getting most notifications when connected to Wifi, currently connected to IPv6.

Touch screen issues have mostly been resolved, had an instance last night where it missed some letters swiping with the Google Keyboard.

On another note, has anyone else been experiencing significant lag on some wifi networks? I'm guessing it has to do with the ongoing IPv6 issues. This update does not seem to have fixed it.

Glad to hear that it sounds like the pulled it though, looking forward to a fix. This was like 1 step forward with the touch screen issues and 2 steps back with the notifications.
[Verizon LG G4] player911:
Isn't there an IPv6 disabler app that was linked earlier?

So it would appear that, for some reason, Google services only want to go over an IPv6 connection. Cellular has it but most wifi networks do not (most still have IPv4 addresses).

I am just curious if you disable IPv6 all-together, if it will force it to revert back to IPv4 and start working.
[Verizon LG G4] nst6563:
the IPv6 disabler was for root... so unless you root the new update (I haven't tried messing with that new rooted image that was posted, haven't had the time to read up on it) it doesn't look like it will work.

I have IPv6 enabled on my home network (pFsense router, Charter ISP) and get notifications. I don't use many apps, but I do get notifications from apps like Gmail, Notes Traveler/Verse, LinkedIn, Clash of Clans, etc. Battery drain seems to be improved as compared to 11a. I think they could still do better with the battery drain though.
[Verizon LG G4] ghostbustaj:
Yup, absolutely. There is significant lag using wifi now; for example, Instagram lags horribly. I used to be able to just whiz right through photo after photo on the phone.

Not anymore.
[Verizon LG G4] Almighty1:
ipv6 seems to be a issue with Lollipop in general and not just with the LG G4 so not sure why it all of the sudden appeared as yesterday when I was searching ipv6, I found some interesting info:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2z1gyo/fix_lollipop_wifi_issues_and_coincidentally_the/

http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...tions-not-working-over-wifi-on-google-devices

http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s5/518099-strange-wi-fi-issues-since-lollipop.html

So it looks like all the Nexus devices have the problem as well as the Galaxy S5.

I'm just curious what ISP everyone is using as routers do not have ipv6 enabled by default since that requires configuration and you need to know the info to put in. I couldn't get ipv6 working on my router as the ISP I'm using is still testing ipv6, specifically ipv6rd. Comcast has ipv6 I heard but I know there is one user in Santa Cruz, CA whose ipv6 doesn't work as that is a part of Comcast that is setup differently.

I had a similar issue back in 2002 or 2003 with Windows XP and had to disable ipv6 in the protocols for the network adapter before things would work normally.

It seems easier disabling ipv6 on the device as the other way to do it is to disable ipv6 on every router you use.
[Verizon LG G4] ghostbustaj:
How do you disable IPv6 on an un-rooted G4? I would disable it on my router if there was a setting that would let me. UGH
[Verizon LG G4] Almighty1:
Give this solution a shot, and what router (make/model) do you have exactly?

You can fix this issue without root by using the app DNSet from the Google Play store. You hit 1 button (the one and only button), and it turns off IPv6, and problem solved.
[Verizon LG G4] ghostbustaj:
You have no idea and how much appreciate you posting that. OMGosh, I could give a bro hug to you. lol

[Verizon LG G4] Almighty1:
Did it work? The other way obviously is to use a VPN if you have one...
[Verizon LG G4] ghostbustaj:
That app absolutely worked. So what does this app do? It changes the DNS of the device?
[Verizon LG G4] Almighty1:
What it supposedly does is it uses VPN for the DNS, whenever VPN is used, it uses IPv4 and disables IPv6. The free version supposedly just makes you use Google's Public DNS Servers while the paid version allows you to use any DNS Server you want.

According to Google Play Store:

"DNSet sets Google's public DNS servers (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) on your device. In order to do this it creates a local VPN so you have to authorise the app once. The app quits after the VPN has been initialised, this saves space on your device's precious RAM memory."

This one should also work and probably faster as it doesn't need the VPN:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.emrekoc.dnschanger
[Verizon LG G4] ghostbustaj:
I just saw that info on the app page as well. Like I said earlier (I think it was in this thread) prior to this latest Verizon update I had great speed over WiFi on my G4. I have the 50MB package (although I get like 65MB when I speedtest on my computer) through Cox. And if I recall correctly I was getting like 35-40ish speed on my phone. But now, after installing that app, the phone is just FLYING through instagram/twitter feeds. Wow.

I'll have to speedtest it.
[Verizon LG G4] Almighty1:
Give this app a try and see if it works better as in faster since it doesn't use VPN which has overhead if it's really just a DNS thing...

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.emrekoc.dnschanger
[Verizon LG G4] ghostbustaj:
Well, I'm not sure if I can get much faster because I just did the speed test on my phone: 50.82 Download /10.12 Upload. With the first app.

But I'll give a shot right now....

---------- Post added at 11:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------

52.24 Download/ 9.83 Upload using the second app. BUT I did notice ads on the second app, and it did need ask for access for my Identity and the Wifi connection information....

The first one did not ask any permissions or anything. I think I'll stick with the first one.

You're the man! Thanks for passing that along!

EDIT- But I am seeing reviews of the first app saying people are having issues with MMS and texting while using it. I'll have to check that tomorrow. But again, thank you sir!

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

Actually, on second thought, I'm not too sure about routing my DNS through a VPN that I have no idea who is monitoring it...
[Verizon LG G4] Almighty1:
Yeah, that's what I meant as you never know if the VPN is really local on the phone or not even though the app has been out for nearly 2 years.... Hopefully the 2nd one works... but it seems just changing the DNS might not work as I think it's the part where it uses VPN that disables ipv6 is what actually fixes it. One would think that if it fixes one thing, everything will work because it's all based on the same principle unless MMS and texting requires ipv6.
[Verizon LG G4] ghostbustaj:
Kinda odd, I uninstalled both of them and I'm on my straight router signal and IP; and I'm getting notifications. Lol. Probably won't last long tho
