I need to update to Kitkat cause there are too many apps and options I can't get
But I'm afraid of Kitakat problems many people have mentioned like battery drain and other issues
So I need an assurance that the problems are fixed by the firmware that LG has released like D80220C or so
Can anybody help??
And another question about LG PC SUITE:
Does it provide the phone with the most recent update directly without updating to 20a then 20b then 20c and so on??
And If yes does that mean I can wait and use it to update my phone from JellyBean to Lollipop directly??
My phone started with 4.4.2 20E firmware so I cant comment on performance compared to 4.3.
I will say however, that 20E was good and 20H is even better. Coming from the Nexus 5 running 4.4.4, I suprised what a good job LG have done with Kit Kat. :victory:
Why not make sure you have the 4.3 image as a backup before you update to KK

I've already made a backup,but I'm hesitating to update because I've heard that the phone is experiencing a horrible battery life on Kitkat
What about your phone on Kitkat:How much does your battery last from 100% to 0??How much screen on time does you get???

The updates from your specific carrier may end at 20C but I am using LG stock image which has gone onto 20H. Battery life on 20H is very good indeed. My best is 103H of standby with 2.5 hours of SOT, (as I'm a light user.) :angel:

Stopping at 20C may have something to do with your carrier and country. My phone was on Vodaphone in the UK and came with 20E. I de-branded my phone by installing the LG 20H firmware direct from LG. :victory: (this is differnent to unlocking your phone!)
I also made sure I had the original Vodaphone 20E firmware before I flashed the LG firmware to let me go back should I require. 20H is so good that I dont need to. :angel:

Yes,It's the country I got the phone from supports it until only 20C
I just want to update it to a stable version in Kitkat and doesn't matter for me If It's the latest update or not
The problem is that I'm impressed with the phone's battery life and I would lose my mind If the update to Kitkat makes it worse

I suggest you do your homework and learn how to flash the various stock roms with the LG flash tool. (I'm not talking about rooting etc here!)
Once you've found the current rom you are using, (to save as a backup incase anything goes wrong,) you can then flash 20C or 20H to see if you are happy with the battery life. Just remember to judge over 3 or 4 cycles as the 1st is always excellent, but the 2nd is always rubbish, (In my experience.)
As you have your backup, you can always go back if you arent happy. :angel:

Hey all,
Feel free to use this thread to discuss the recent V10m-OCT-14 Software Update for the G3. I have just received it on my International D855 Model.
Listed enhancements are:
- Apps
This update is 180MB if coming from the other latest update, v10l. You can download this update by going to your Update Center, Software Update. Or, your G3 might have already downloaded it OTA.
Personally, I find a bit more battery life, and more responsiveness coming from v10l, feel free to share your individual experiences with this update here!
Battery life is better than 10L, but it's only one day used. Will see how is in the next few days
Just installed it and rooted it with PD...works fine at the moment, downloading music from spotify and such, let's see how it behaves in a few days time. V10L still had the noises while charging...expecting 10m to have the same issue.
Any KDZ File?
Thank's

A few hours of usage 10M seems on par with 10L, same performance noting special. Guess we will have to see, the newer kernel build date suggests that some tweaks and updates are present and we are always grateful for tweaks

:good: Cool. I can't wait OTA.
@ Mr Bo
Thank's , flash in progress.
Does this update resolves the "Hissing and buzzing sound with headset/AUX" issue ?
Still don't see the M for my IMEI / Region (India) yet. Waiting !
Hissing noise is likely to be hardware so don't hold your breath for a software fix. They obviously didn't adequately shield headphone socket from the charging/battery.
Blimey, I only just got around to flashing v10L.
Is there a way to install the OTA update for someone who has TWRP recovery installed without getting stuck inn the recovery on reboot ? Fortunately, there is a fix to get out of the recovery but the OTA doesn't install when returning back to system.

I can cancel this issue with some tricks (USB or call trick). The G2 did have this issue with kk4.4.2 ant it was resolved with the 4.4.4. So i m still waiting an update or an aosp rom.

That's how I install L. Worked fine, just lost root (which TWRP fixed), DPI was changed back to stock (I fixed that) and it reinstalled a little bloatware (McAfee) which Titanium took care of.
That is, of course, if you can get the KDZ.
I can't see any serious difference after weeks of using ".i" version... always flashing with CSE option.
phone works great, very smooth, battery life for around 5-6h of screen awake

I will TRY to resist the TEMPTATION to NOT install the lollipop directly when it gets available, maybe wait 2 weeks for other people to tell us if it is better or worse.. especially if it it is Android 5.0 and not 5.1...with said it will be very hard to resist to not install it directly.
Maybe that is for mediapad x2, and new p8 support, those have lollipop. So I dont think we will get update soon.

Let's just hope for the best. They may release the update after mediapad x2 and p8 is out. Its most likely be based on their updated versoon of android. And we may get a better one because they will testers for our update.
What I would like on the update is the tap to wake up function. I don't like using the flip cover. I like cases or bumpers and its easier if you can just tap to wake up.
Guys you really think u will be happy with 5.0 ???
BET with me once it will be avail. and u install it u'll be rolling back !
Did u been considering that u MIGHT NOT be able to root phone ? OR install custom recovery ?? You didn't right ? heh .. yeah
Well .. u might be surprised I just plaing with LG G3 which I had installed 5.0 and 1. There was no possible to root G3 ! only now recently released root program .. so so it is rooted
BUT
Not possible to install custom recovery (only in very difficult long way)
Xposed not working YET only by flashing another dificulty way ..
So no support at all .. devs. keeping slowly up .. but ..
Do u think somebody gonna bother to get all this working on huawei phones ?
Let's see.
But remember once again .. u will be rooling back sam eas I reverted G3 back to kitkat .. no lag at all..
For G3 all it needs is to downgrade to kitkat, instal custom recovery, than flash cm12 lolipop, all of this take max 25 min, not complicated at all.
Maby updating to lollipop will not relock bootloader, so flashing custom recovery will take 2 minutes, and flashing super su trought cwm also take one minute, so we can have lollipop and root very easy. I am waiting for lollipo because CM 12 rom, not for update with emui 3.0 on the top because everything will be the same as now.

NOTHING properly works on 5.0 ...
No mate there is no any unlocking or relocking bootloader.. like in huawei phones... and no there is no any CWM ONLY TWRP is made for G3...
Yeah there MIGHT be CM based on lolipop .. but again with so many buuugs not workings.. so best to stay on 4.4.2 for now..
And u said all be same no point ..
Don't understand what some ppl thinks when they see higher number 5.0 . or lolipop it it is gonna be better... aahh well
From Lolipop i expect only better battery optimization,nothing more.

Won't happen, TBH.
Not much chance the first LP release will be smooth, you would be best hoping huawei used their brain & made effort on bugfix & improvements on JB & move on to LP once revisions/improvements been done by google team to LP.
I think the biggest disspointment will be a lot of functions that we associate with Lollipop will not be included...
Will we get new multi tasking view ? Probably not.

Will we get Lollipop notifications view ? probably not
http://offoindia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Lollypop-3.jpg
I think depressingly enough the biggest disappointment will be that it will be impossible to see the difference between current kitkat (that looks little bit like Lollipop already) and the new lollipop release, I think they will mainly try to make it look exactly like the old kitkat. I say this because of the latest Huawei tablet with lollipop, we must expect something similar...
What I hope though is improvements under the hood... Better performance which means better adjusted cpu cores how they throttles up and down..
right now there is microlag a lot...
I hope even faster and more smooth animations (if the GPU can handle it). Right now I have fastest animation setting .5x in developer options, but the problem is with the fastest setting it does not run as smooth as one would wish, but as it is now I prefer the fastness with some micro stutter to painfully slow animations which make me unproductive.
Batterylife I hope it can be improved a little bit even though. The androi system still use more then it should so I think there is potential..but still it is the modem that drains most of the battery...and software improvements can't make much of that .

If you are still running the official stock before lollipop it is a definite improvement, however LG should be releasing the actual official release here sooner (starts trying not to laugh) or later.
Oh who am I kidding, we aren't seeing the official update until fall here in the states for the V500.
LG's non phone updates are difficult to forecast to say the least. They seem to be primarily focusing on their phones (G2, G3 and now the G4) the tablet business appears to be an afterthought.
The QPair stuff seems to finally be working for me after testing this weekend. In previous situations it could not handle disconnections and reconnections very well. Now that both devices are running lollipop and the latest version of QPair things seem to be working better... In addition my problem with SDCard's perpetually unmounting on stock 4.4.2 appears to have gone away with lollipop. My problem after a long amount of research, only occurred when the pad sleeps in a certain way. I do not have to root and disable a certain sleep mode anymore with the new release (so far with one week of testing the Korean v500 release).

Can u be more precise about the issue? I didn't understand what you're trying to say.
I'm gonna update with the Korean version as I can no longer wait for the update, but time is preventing me
There is a thread about it.... Basically the sdcard starts unmounting uncontrollably. It is now (as of this evening) confirmed to still be present in the Korean release. Which means as before I will avoid the LG built kernel... If you want you can monitor your tablet with the app called sdcard monitor by Ahmed Moharram in the play store. If you get bad removals without rebooting your tablet you have the problem.
The thread that I was thinking of is linked below, and other threads/posts are referenced in my post in that thread... I find that running certain roms or kernels avoids the issue completely which really bothers me since it means that the devs know this tablet better than LG actually does... I know it isn't a hardware problem since the 4.2.2 original release of the software for this tablet does not exhibit the issue...
Thread here:

I thought the notification names and related were changed to English default in this rom, but it isn't.
There's a qvoice app which displays everything in Korean. What's that?

I've been chatting with Samsung Support through Twitter about Kies not taking my serial # for my Note 4. They asked for my serial # and my imei #, so I gave it to them and they asked what version i was on and told them BOK3, they wrote back saying there is a newer version, so I asked which one is it. So here is a screenshot.
OTA Update provided by @hsbadr thanks to @doinsvelt
Official Firmware & OTA Update from N910VVRU2BOG5 to N910VVRU2BPA1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...mware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937
Safe Upgrade N910VVRU2BPA1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=65278655
Update: if your battery takes a dump with the OTA, it is recommend that you do a repair via the Verizon assistant or via Kies. But if you are on a safe upgrade version then this will take you out of safe upgrade and keep you on BOG5 incremented bootloader.
Maybe a new Samsung version, but maybe not a Verizon version?

Here are the screenshots.
They responded back that it is 5.1.1 with security patches
So Samsung says there is another version they have out. But has Verizon released it yet? The manufacturer releases versions to the carriers who then release it to the phone owners after they do their "branding". Case in point, Samsung released 6.0.1 for the Note 4, but we don't have it yet. So

Its quite simple indeed just download the zip file from the forum 5.1.1 then save it in ur sd card, press up volume, power and home button at the same time to access stock recovery, navigate to option where is says update from a file, there you go it will update to 5.1.1, batter been slightly different (not a big improvement) im indeed a very very heavy user.... i received emails all day from my job, need to check whatsapp several times, there is some annoyances however... like wifi notification that is connected never go away... the wireless and fast charging notification remain in 5.0.1 now in 5.1.1 just says it once time and disappear, album cover full screen its completly gone.... performance in task screen and some apps display faster and also navigate throught touchwiz its a little bit better... not a BIG BIG difference... they put connect to at&t network (even thou its verizon), everything its fixed in BPA1 update so if you want to give a shot go ahead... i mean its not a big big diference but if you are bored of being in 4.4.4 or 5.0.1 go ahead! good luck
This may need to go devs but notice every time you boot into recovery on this update it says "installing update". Not sure exactly what that means cause I am no dev but it seems like the the recovery is more locked down on this update.
I also did factory reset after update. So not sure why it would do that every time booting into recovery.
for last week battery been dropping fairly quickly to about 40%, then stopping abruptly. Got the update last night. After almost 12 hours on battery, it is still at 88%.
My battery wasn't doing very well until I disabled fast charging and charged regularly. But have always noticed that even on kitkat
Hello, i bought my z3 4 months ago and im happy with the performance except for the battery life. I was thinking about going back to kitkat so i can have that 2 days battery life but i have never flashed a rom or done anything similar. So i want help. Do you think i should go back to kitkat or should i put another rom?( i wish i could get oxygen os but its impossible)
Thanks
I guess you have Marshmallow .291 firmware?
What device id exactly D66?? ?
If D6603...
(locked bootloader and you don't want root) get Marshmallow Concept .3657: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69273678&postcount=1962
It's the latest and last Sony ROM for Z3, security level October 2016. Great battery life (ForceDoze works great) and really stable (yes you get the Sony apps from the store).
(locked bootloader and you want root) get Lollipop .264, like my DE: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/d6603-xperia-z3-23-4-1-264-customized-t3259252
For me the battery life is disappointing on their "official" MM, going from 6h Screen-on-Time on 5.1.1 to barely 4h on their "final" firmware .291 is really bad.
Just checked and yeah i have the 291
How do i get the good version? Do i need to format my phone and flash it or is it like a normal update?
Also just checked i got the d6603
So is there a nougat version? Cause i really like the looks of the nougat

There's a nougat version for D6603 but it's a custom rom and needs an unlocked bootloader. It's called Lineage os 14.1 by Nailyk.

Plain flash with FlashTool, you will wipe everything so backup (pics/documents/etc) to a PC first.

There are the Developers Previews, but I can't recommend them as daily drivers:
* latest DP4 has a killer bug (whenever it switches Wi-Fi off it will reboot)
* while DP3 is not full SDK24 yet, had even issues installing apps
You can get that Nougat look if you have root on 5.1.1 with Xposed + Android N-ify for the quick settings (get latest build #827 here) + this nav bar.
(in Android N-ify remember to enable "fancy anymations")
/LE: keep in mind that whatever I'm saying above you don't need an UNlocked bootloader.

I think i have around 5 to 6 hours on screen on time on a normal day, but for example when i watch a video i could lose 10% in 5 minutes some time. Will i see a big deference with the Marshmallow Concept .3657 ?

just drained my battery and i got 5 hours of screen-on-time. Is it worth moving to the concept rom ?
Read my results, from my experience yes, but as you wish, I know it's painful to setup things back, test, etc.

Where are your results? I don't mind setting every thing up again. I m a bit afraid of the process. Also how much better will be my battery life? This is my biggest concern.

(I mean 5.1.1 firmware .264 or Marshmallow Concept .3657, have great battery life)
Again, this depends on your user case, I can't swear you'll see this exact difference.
The flash process is simple, too simple, my biggest gripe is setting apps again, stabilize my workflow, and use the device as usual for 2-3 battery cycles ( 100%->5%) to be able to judge that on a fair ground. (eg. while installing apps, copying files or rebooting, the battery drain is bigger, that's not to be accounted...)

.291 is the last official one.
You can get root on Concept .3657 if you have an unlocked bootloader. It's the last one from Sony but it's not "officialy supported" blahblah, it's just "concept/test", use it if it works.

Nope, you need an unlocked bootloader, then you can root it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/development/kernel-advanced-stock-kernel-android-t3490519
