From Google...
"Have you ever lost your phone in between the couch cushions or forgot it in a restaurant? Or maybe searching for your phone before you rush out the door is part of your morning routine? Let the new Android Device Manager help you out! It's one of a few simple features you can use to keep your device—and the data you store inside—safe and secure.
Locate and ring your misplaced device
If you ended up dropping your phone between those couch cushions, Android Device Manager lets you quickly ring your phone at maximum volume so you can find it, even if it's been silenced. And in the event that your phone or tablet is out of earshot (say, at that restaurant you left it at last night), you can locate it on a map in real time.

Protecting your personal information and data
While losing your phone can be stressful, Android Device Manager can help you keep your data from ending up in the wrong hands. If your phone can’t be recovered, or has been stolen, you can quickly and securely erase all of the data on your device.
Availability and getting started
This service is now available on devices running Android 2.2 or above; to use it, you also will need to be signed into your Google Account. There will also be an Android app to allow you to easily find and manage your devices. Stay tuned!"
How to start using
*note: This is not a standalone app. Google is pushing the update in batches so you may not have access to it yet.
1. Navigate to Settings > Security > Device Administrators and check the box Android Device Manager and hit activate
2. Check to see if access to Android Device Manager is in your Google Settings application.
3. Go here on your computer's web browser and test it.
If you don't see access to it in your Google Settings app, its likely that the feature is not yet available to you.

Cool. I hope this doesn't use any battery.

Using Cerberus app already. Has more functionality than this.

Note for sense devices, Just go to settings and then security and so forth, more just brings you to network information. (I'm assuming there is a difference on a Google edition phone)

I have all activated, but the web doesn't connect with my phone . It can not get the location or ring the phone. (Galaxy Nexus 4.3 all stock)

Thank you. Works well.
I activated it under Settings > Security > Device Administrators, but I didn't see ADM in Google Settings.
Was still able to find it at https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager
HTC One using GE 4.3 RUU

I tried it and it works. The phone ring doesn't work if you disable wifi and/or mobile data. Does anyone know if it will wipe an external sd card?

Quick access to ADM is now available on the Play Store website, under the settings button:

I keep my wifi and mobile network location setting off usually to save battery. Do I need to have this on to use ADM? Can I turn it on remotely?

Yeah you can turn it on remotely. Just setup a Tasker profile to turn on whats necessary by sending a specific text to your phone. That's what i've did. :good:

I was able to download a ADM and I activated it, but when I go to the website to locate it, it says location unavailable. The ring won't work either, haven't tried the erase button

From what I understand it is still rolling out so some devices aren't able to be located just yet.

I set mine up but every time I try to get its location from the website it tells me location is unavailable. I also tried ringing it and it didn't work. I triple checked all my settings and everything seemed ok

Same here. Have a Galaxy S3 (LiquidSmooth Rom incase that makes a difference). Have ADM checked as my device admin, have it in my Google Settings, and it still can't be located or rung from the site. Says "Location Unavailable. Last used August 3, 2013". That date doesn't make much sense to me....

I tried it and had the same results as others, not found sending ring didn't work etc after allowing it. So I restarted the phone and now it all works perfectly.
Thanks for the tip

Same issue :-\

Had the same issue..
I've checked the android device manager in settings..

[Q] LG Intelligent Agent (com.lge.ia)

Does anyone know what this is? It always seems to be running, but I'm not entirely sure what it does or if I need it.

I've been wondering this myself.

You could just Try to freeze it using titanium backup and then see what happens differently and then defrost it :0

Did. Not noticing anything as of yet. But I still kind of want to know what it is
It appears to also have a sub-class called "remote", so I kind of wonder if this is doing any sort of external data transfer.

I am not 100% sure...
But I ran some CIQ tests to see if it was involved with that and it was not.
I removed it 100% from my soon to be current ROM with no notable ill affects.
However, soley by the name and what you just pointed out about the sub class...
I would guess you that its some sort of IQ Agent that will take a drop box of data and transfer them to LG like Samsung does.
Just an educated guess.

Has anyone figured out yet what this is? It can be disabled without root, freeing up memory. But I'd like to know what I'm disabling.

Does it have to do with the context app that lets you quickly go to a contact or search based on what text says

I think you're talking about text link which can be disabled without root.

I was looking at another forum, it has something to do with auto connecting and managing connections (wifi, gps, bluetooth, etc.)
Mine is weird and I turn it off, and wifi doesn't turn on by itself anymore (good thing) my wifi used to randomly turn on oddly. but yea. Idk, just a thought out there.

I wonder if this is the utility that does the Wi-Fi-4G handoff for MMS.
I lost that ability and couldn't figure it out.

You are on to something here.
I sent a mms over Wi-Fi success, then froze LG Intelligent Agent and tried to send over Wi-Fi and fail. Turned Wi-Fi off sent mms and the picture went.
Not sure what the program does but it appears to have something to do with network messeging.

Not convinced anymore. My current ROM had it stripped out and still does the handoff.

Verizon VoLTE Problem with Solution

Hi all,
I installed the 5.1OTA and could not get Verizon Enhanced LTE (advanced calling, VoLTE, etc....) to work. I tried what everyone else suggested and nothing made it work (never showed the enhanced LTE setting in the cellular menu). Here are the steps I took in case anyone else is having the same problem.
1. Re-Install radio and bootloader from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934540313
2. Enter the hidden menu using *#*#4636#*#*
3. Go in to Phone information
4. Click the TURN ON VOLTE PROVISIONED FLAG button (wont change)
5. Click the TURN OFF RADIO button
6. Wait a few seconds (for radio to turn off) and then click the TURN ON RADIO button.
7. Observe that the TURN ON VOLTE PROVISIONED FLAG button has changed to TURN OFF....
8. Go in to Settings>>...More>>Cellular Networks and make sure that Enhanced 4G LTE Mode is enabled.
I did all this and I still did not have data while making a call. I had to go to VZW site and go into my account and tell it to activate a device on my current line. I entered the IMEI and it gave me a warning about softcard and then went right back to same screen, When I clicked next it gave me a warning that it was unsupoorted device. After this it all worked perfect although the phone is still not recognized on the VZW site.

I can confirm this works. I had the hd voice already added to my line so I had to remove it and then add it back. That seemed to do the trick for me. It hasn't disappeared as it did originally. I'll update if I lose it. Thanks OP

I installed the OTA too and I didn't see the VOLTE switch immediately either.
What I had to do was to log into Verizon and add HD voice to the lines that supported it. After I added them and checked the mobile network settings, I saw the VOLTE switch pop up.
Hope that helps.

o its under free products.. i see it now.. thanks guys.

I added the service to my line then rebooted the phone but still no sign of the setting. Maybe I should have been more patient.
No matter, this solution worked perfectly. thanks

Same here played around in dialer and no go

So..... My problem is that when I enter the settings menu inside of the dialer by dialing *#*#4636#*#* it does show the option to turn on volte provisioned flag but it does not change. Ever. I hit the button, turn off radio, let it turn all the way off, then turn it on, and it still doesnt change. Reboot, still no advanced calling options.
Anyone else having this problem?
I am on Chroma ROM so I'm hoping this isn't an issue, and if it is, does anyone recommend a good stock rom until Chroma gets updated?
Thanks guys!!!

Same problem here. I was using Vanillipop and it worked on that one but not on Chroma

I tried this and got the feature and all on my phone but tried to make a call and got an error then it turned off the features and back to square one.

I did the following and it worked. I had to turn on HD Voice in my verizon account. I did not have to activate my nexus 6 on my line.
type in *#*#4636#*#*. When you hit that last *, your phone will jump into the hidden settings menu. Choose “Phone info” and then scroll down until you see an option for “TURN ON VOLTE PROVISIONED FLAG.” Tap that and then reboot your phone (I had to reboot twice for some reason to get it to work). Once booted, head into your phone’s regular settings menu, tap on “More” under “Wireless & networks,” then “Cellular networks.” You should now see an option for “Enhanced 4G LTE Mode” and it should be toggled on.
Edit: There is a chance that you may need HD Voice added to your Verizon account. To do that, you will need to sign-in to your Verizon account and add the feature, which is free. http://goo.gl/eKFV5E

Thanks for checking. I did try that but it's not working. It hasn't worked since I first got the phone. Searched Google and didn't find anything and haven't seen anyone else post about it here.

If you're using a task-killing app,it is likely the culprit,ditch it & don't look back.
If not,check the following:
Go to SETTINGS > APPS > QUICK MEMO+ & ensure that all app permissions are enabled.
Also,go to SETTINGS > BATTERY & POWER SAVING,tap on BATTERY USAGE & scroll down to Ignore optimizations & choose QUICK MEMO+
Other than that,the only other recommendation I have is to clear all the app data from QuickMemo+ & try again.

Very odd, I've got nothing.
Outside of a factory reset or device replacement, I'm stumped.
May be an effort in futility, but, I'd drop this on an AT&T associate in-store,see what they come up with.

I appreciate your help. It's just one of those little things that irk me. I'm very happy with the phone and everything is working great so no need to return it. Not sure about AT&T (just switched) but if it's anything like Verizon going there would be a complete waste of time.
I'm coming from the 5x and prior to that, quite a few years if rooting and custom ROMs. Like I said I'm very happy with this device but I wanted to try and take advantage of as much of the stock software as possible, since I'm so used to customizing my phone to the exact same setup for so long.
I'll live with it, and again thanks for your help.

2 wifi network - force to use wifi 1 instead of wifi2

I have two wifi networks that I have at home, but my LG G6 keeps connecting to wifi2 when I want it to connect to wifi1
Is there a way to either..
a. force to use wifi1
b. disable wifi2 config
I don't want to "forget" wifi2 because of its long password that I would find a pain to type in again! I shouldn't be having to open system settings, then wifi then select wifi1 each time as thats a pain too!
Any ideas?

maybe this app can help:
Smart WLAN Selector
there is a text version avaible

hmm worth a look. Looks like it picks the strongest signal, but not quite what I want - the strongest signal would be wifi2 (which I don't want to connect as there is no internet access via that wifi). I'll give that a try but wish there was something without having to install an app.

interesting, I thought you were on a winner there, but when I added a new wifi (after deleting my old one), I checked "advanced options", but I don't have the option to "auto-connect" like your screen shot. basically, I have everything as per screen shot EXCEPT the auto connect checkbox?! hmmm.

I'm on H870 EU not H870ds. I can say nothing about differences between both version atm.
Next week I'll get my new H870dsu from HK so I can take a closer look on WiFi settings if you wish.

Anyone mind if you could have a look at your H870DS (mine is TWN v10h) and see if you got "auto-connect" feature on wifi. If you do, could you let me know what version you have. ta.

wifi manager on appstore..you can use it to prefer a wlan on another...

@tweedie
FYI: I've got my h870ds HKG. Indeed there isn't any “Auto connect“ option in WiFi.
FW V10h and 10j-HKG.
