Hi I recently got my i9505 on EE in the UK and decided to update to the prerooted stock ME3 ROM here. I also flashed the EVR CSC via odin as 4G wasn't showing up. I thought all went well but I noticed a strange problem when using certain apps (Facebook, Instagram, a couple others that involve images it seems)
When using them on Wi-Fi, the connection timed out and I cannot browse/upload, however other apps such as browser/twitter/chrome all work fine? then if I disable Wi-Fi, *all* apps work fine over 4G/3G. I thought it would be a router problem so I tried another house and I still get the same issue so it must be the phone.
Since then I've flashed the stock EE version ME2 and MDD firmware back via odin, factory reset several times on different firmwares but I still get the same problem?
Any help would be much appreciated as I'm very confused! Thanks!

Yes, I tried this and also remove then reinstall apps
I also have an S3 on the same Wi-Fi network that works fine with these apps
Thanks for help
After a replacement phone was sent and still had the same issues, I did some more digging and found out the problem was my MTU settings on my broadband which were set at 1500. Although all other devices on my network were fine, the S4 didn't like it and when I reduced it worked fine!
hi every body
after I update my s4, I faced some problems as battery and keyboard, but camera wasn't had any problems.
yesterday and suddenly when I take some pictures, the camera resolution become very very poooor. although I am very careful about my mobile, and never fall or break forum my hand.
also device temperature rise when I used it or when I connect it to my laptop, specially in the area under camera and in the screen.
I restored mobile to factory reset, but nothing changes.
Help me please guys

weird issue indeed... heat is normal is cpu gets really stressed.
I would recommend:
- Remove battery for a minute
- Then, delete cache partition and hard reset
- Install stock FW with odin
- Delete cache again
- Test

are you already rooted or are you on stock? If you are on stock, you should have no issues. Odin is good.
I'm in stock,
i well try to do your suggestion.
official stock is from sammobile?
Yes try those

HI there,
I am on Omega 13.2 with old bootloader.
So no KNOX.
I am actually very happy with the performance and battery life. Everything is smooth.
That's why I never bothered updating to Kitkat or a newer Omega version.
Problem is:
The last three weeks I have problems with my data connection.
Data works for a while, but suddenly I loose data connection even though the 4G icon is still visible.
Apps like Facebook don't report that there is a problem with the connection. It just keeps loading.
Same with all other apps like stock Browser, Chrome and news apps.
What I have to do then is either restart my device or turn on Airplane Mode and turn it back off.
Then it works again for a while.
If there is no data connection at all, e.g. when I turn off data, all the apps will report that there is no Internet.
But in my case, I have no Internet but the apps keep loading forever.
It is not a problem with my Mobile Carrier.
I have called them and they confirmed that there are no known issues.
My friends have no problem.
My brother, with the same phone but without root and Kitkat has no problems as well.
So it seems that I am the only one.
My plan is...
Since I don't have KNOX.
Run Triangle Away
Install old Stock ROM without KNOX and update it in a regular way, via Kies.
Question: Will KNOX be triggered then?
If not and I have the same problem I will use my warranty so they can check it.
If yes, I will loose my warranty.
Btw, I have already wiped the device, but still same problem
Thx for your replies.
anyone?

No it won't trigger in the way you descriped.
But why don't you try a different custom rom first?

You have a point there.
As you guys know, MM has started rolling out to the International Model D855!
I've been on MM for 3 days and quite satisfied with the update! Rom's seems faster and snappier, no more micro lag, juice seems to be better than LP tho... What you guys think? To all Lions, Share your thoughts and comments here! Cheers All!!!
Having problem flashing MM?
Use this method:
Reboot to twrp
2. Full wipe (data, internal card, system, cache, delvik cache, format data) All zip move to external card for a clean flash
3. Flash V2 zip - robalm's thread
4. Flash boot zip - autoprime's thread
5. Flash https://mega.nz/#!gxtwVBwZ!41S8Woy2y...HhK4gcGooK7OIo permissive zip (most important part don't forget to flash this)
6. Flash betasupersu 2.52 https://mega.nz/#!F8E02RyC!XeJhx4QZH...bVd14ccRYHbNKg ( no other version worked only this version worked)
7. Flash sharpening mod 3.5 and reboot system
To me this method works 100%
I've tried on 5 of my friend's G3 and all without fail!
4G ,Titanium and ext card works flawlessly

Singaporean user here, so far it's been fantastic on stock marshmallow. With 21c modem there's no problem when it comes to connectivity (I'm on Singtel and I get 4G just like on Lollipop). Battery life much better than lollipop (average about 3.5-4h SOT compared to 2.5-3h on lollipop).
Here's a features review I did for the new stock MM

currently only Poland has update via OTA or LG PC Suite. However, there are zip files and KDZ files available that you can flash on any D855.

Hi oceangreen,
Saw this thread late. Black screen, Red & Blue LED flashing problem after following autoprime's thread.
Some questions:
Step 5 - autoprime didn't have this! However, your Megasync link requires decryption key? Can u provide?
Step 6 - Is this the same as autoprime's SuperSU 2.52?
Step 7 - Is this the correct link to the sharpening mod 3.5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/fix-sharpening-mod-script-1-0-beta-t2957648)? autoprime did not provide this! If I have no issues with the sharpening issue, can I skip this?
Thks in advance.
Is this still MM if use 21c modem ?

you don't need sharpening mod if you use v2.52 see http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g...ables-t3282012. with this method it's simple & root sticks
The SuperSU 2.52 is the same based on the hash files.

yes, modem only affects cellular and things like that. The rom is still MM
Does it have volte with sg telco
Followed the flashing guide to the letter - this V2 rom is great - but for only about 3 days.
After around the 3 day mark, the error message will flash "SIM card removed The mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid SIM card inserted."
The phone will reboot within 10 seconds (even if you go to airplane mode immediately). It rebooted repeatedly first time it happened.
Did a complete nuke wipe, flashed again. Same thing - at the 3 day mark - the Singtel SIM will show the same error and reboot. After that, SIM not usable at all. All telco signals (Singtel) will be gone. No phone, SMS, let alone data of any sort.
Think it is the problem with the modem.

(Download v2 (modem from v21c) -> https://mega.nz/#!OIlwGLKS!LlcNIImHK...EzSt_ikHlWj3yY)
Tried flashing 21A, 21B, autoprime's hybrid modem. Doesn't work. Anybody else encountered similar problems?
Flashed on TWRP 2.8.7 from Stock Kit Kat 4.4.2.

I have the same problem as you. except, I did not do the update and it happened out of the blue today. Been restarting my phone and if I am lucky, sometimes I get connected to the network for about an hour before the error comes on again.

Hi Matthew,
Saw your PM. Just to confirm that you have the same problem.
Error message - "The mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid SIM card inserted"
- Bar counts up to 100% before phone reboots automatically
This is apparently a very serious problem with Android going back a few years and a few Android OS versions (KK I believe). It happens with various phone models ranging from:
LG G4
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg4/comments/43p26p/sim_card_removed/
Nexus - Google doesn't give a F*CK
http://androidforums.com/threads/sim-card-problems.467384/
Motorola, Nexus, Samsung Galaxy etc.
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=66964
Google apparently doesn't give a rat's ass about it. As such it is very difficult to pin-point the problem. I have flashed & re-flashed robalm's V2 ROM at least 4 times, each time with a complete (nuke) wipe of everything including the Internal SD card. It definitely happens on the default modem (21C supposedly) that comes with it. Different modems have not helped. If you find one that works, let me know.
It cannot be a SIM card problem. Cos I've never ever taken it out since the day I got the phone. Once the problem happened, I've tried re-seating it, wiping the electrical contacts with microfibre cloth etc. Singtel shop customer service checked all the APN and network settings and confirmed it is correct, asked me to try the SIM card in other phones. Done that, nothing wrong with the SIM..
Googling further, some folks discovered that it is due to Google Apps (Play Store, Maps, G+, Gmail, Play Books/Games/Movies/Music/Services etc. etc.), which are system apps (as part of the ROM package), causing the problem after they are updated via Google Play Store. Don't we all update apps to the latest version, no?
I tried uninstalling all the updates for all of them (Settings>>Apps>>) and replacing them with the factory updates that came with the ROM. I usually freeze all the crap money sucking subscription based or in-app purchasing Google Apps that I don't use anyway. However, whether frozen or not, it still happens. Although not freezing any of them does seem more likely to cause the problem to become even more severe - like going into constant reboots as opposed to intermittent ones. When that happens, you have to go to airplane mode BEFORE the countdown completes and reboot happens. At least when it restarts, it won't hunt for the missing cellular signal and triggering another reboot. This then allows you to freeze the suckers more agressively.
It worked for a few days - I thought I had narrowed the problem down to Google Play Store, Play Framework and Play Services. But yesterday or so it has come back again with a vengeance. Freezing Google Play Store does not help by the way - besides what's the point if you can't use Play Store?
Problem is, disabling the auto-update functions on Google Play Store using:
(Play Store>>Settings>>General>>Auto-update apps>>check "Do not auto-update apps")
doesn't stop Google Play Store and Google Play services from auto-updating themselves! F*ck Google! You cannot prevent it no matter what.
Worse, everytime it auto-updates itself (or if you uninstall updates) - note that it will switch to the default setting of "Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only" again. So you have to be fast in going to Settings in Google Play each time you reboot and open Play Store.
Some netizens have suggested ADB command line means to cripple the auto-updating. But to me that is not the freaking point. It's about trying to isolate and find the problem.
You end up uninstalling updates for Play Store several times a day but when you find that the cellular signal is gone (no bars), you realise that it has sneakily updated to 6.0.5.
But even when I uninstall all updates for Play Store. It can still happen. Maybe less frequently.
No cellular signal is bad enough. The worst aspect is the rebooting. I tried restoring my beloved KK 4.4.2 Nandroid backup but apparently I'll have to find a compatible modem again as TWRP 2.8.0 (or my previous version before upgrading to TWRP 2.8.7 for this Marshmallow) didn't manage to back it up (even though I tick everything).
Still doing trial and error to try isolating the problem. The Google apps clue seems the more likely cause, but I can't say I can discern a definite pattern yet.
It could be a bug in Marshmallow 6.0. Maybe 6.1 will solve it. Maybe its the damn Polish ROM/modem.
In the meantime, I can only say - Do not flash this ROM! Without any cellular signal, the phone is not a phone. The constantly rebooting makes it useless!

Yes! correct. we have the same problem. I don't think it is a glitch on mm 6.0 because i was on lollipop 5.0 when the problem occurred and I have only flashed 5.0 roms and modems. can you try the candySiX rom and see how it fairs in your phone? CandySix Rom thread link
I tried it on my phone and was able to connect to tower until I started installing Whatsapp which cause the sucker to break and reboot. But that was in a span of 15 mins. I read that it could also be a GPS problem so I disabled GPS but the phone was still broken. From my understanding, your trail and error seems to point to the play store updating itself that causes the phone to break correct? so why not cripple it using ADB and as for the updating of apps, it be done manually through sideload. because i don't think that there will be many apps that need to be frequently updated right? and even so if we do not update the app, it does not mean that the app will lose its functionality??

Dude –punctuation please …
I wish it was that simple. I've used Android Firewall (AFSWall+) to BLOCK all internet connections for Google Play Store and Google Play Services. The sneaky bastards at Google can still somehow update the factory Google Play Store from to 6.0.5! Upon that happening, all cellular network connection WILL DEFINITELY be lost. It may or may not reboot after that.
The problem is definitely related to Google Play (Store & Services). But it is not limited to it. Even when it has not updated itself, the error message can still show up and the phone can still reboot randomly with the error message. That is why I don’t think using ADB to disable updates solves anything.
Google is definitely doing something very intrusive with their Play Store apps – (why should and) how the hell apps (even if system apps) can be allowed to affect the functions of SIM card and cellular network reception to this extent is beyond me. Big brother is really upon us.
Not keen on trying custom ROMs anymore since my S2 days. Especially when stock Marshmallow already cause so many problems. Maybe this needs to be posted in the other international LG G3 threads.

Heyy trying to flash MM but lg flash tool 2014 keeps on crashing on win 10. want to retain data so am not using TWRP. What tool are u using and software version?
Good Sharing... thus far my screen not so often give me a blank screen issue after upgrade to MM Global
Hi guys ( @Preter @matthewmax09 )
my friend's SEA device started to giving your "The mobile network will be unavailable until you restart with a valid SIM card inserted" error too.
did you solved this problem? can anyone tell a solution for this?
thanks.
I am currently on the f model and after the N910FXXU1DPH2_N910FOXA1DPH2_DBT my phone has come to an almost unusable state. Fc, random reboots, freezes during calls, black screens etc. Full factory reset and reinstalling didn't helped. I have root and tried some custom roms but i need some opinions. I want a MM based rom with full Spen and snote usage. I dont care nor use fingerprint, shealth, svoice, knox, android pay, note 7 or edge gimmics or ports. I just want a stable light and reliable rom to fully use the spen, make and receive calls, send texts, use social media and have full data and wifi connectivity and as less bloat as possible. A theme feature will be nice but not mandatory. Cheers and ty in advance!
The feeling I get from reading the various threads on these fora is that stock ROM remains to be the most stable of the lot. If you are having these problems with clean stock then could it be your setup or a hardware fault that is causing these issues?
If it is not a hw issue, then it could be that TWRP has been corrupted. Try downloading and reinstalling your recovery.
I am using nameless now and it looks pretty sweet. About the recovery when I first updated it reverted to stock recovery. I reseted to factory settings which caused me to loss root. And today when I tried to get to nameless I could not get twrp to install via flash via odin. It succeeded but it always booted to stock recovery. I had to root first and then install twrp through it's app from the play store. Anyway all seems pretty solid in nameless I will try it out for a few days.
