LG G2 Users Thread!

Dammit. I just installed derp on my phone and then this comes out. I hate you LG. Hate youuuuu.

Go to settings>apps>all and find and click on google services framework.  Click Force Stop and then Clear Data, then immediately try do to an update.  When you attempt an update it should show that the last checked date was 1969 or some such.

 

This worked for me on the first try, but some people are reporting it takes several tries.

I was doing it without force stopping first.  First try after force stopping, it worked.

Just to reiterate... if you are sideloading the update. YOU MUST DO IT THREE TIMES IN A ROW VIA ADB. The first two will stop and reboot to recovery automatically again, and the third will finally go all the way through.

 

I thought I had bricked my device but after doing that I still had all my info intact, no need to flash back and upgrade through again, that's a waste of time.

But you really dont have to sideload. Just use the Google Services Framework trick that a bunch of us used. Updated my wife's phone the same way last night when I got home from work. It just takes a couple tries for most.

Noticed there must have been bluetooth stack changes in this upgrade too. My car is connecting to the phone almost instantly now and displays all my song info perfectly, whereas before it would show "unknown" most of the time.

So i che ked the ##data# menu, and b41, and b26 were disabled. Anyone else experience that?

[twospirits]

my stock LG G2 received the update message yesterday morning but didn't update till the evening and it went smoothly.

With KK you can now say "Ok Google" and google now pops up.  Of course you can do that with your Nexus 7 since it has been on KK for awhile now.  You just got used to it on your Nexus 7 but didn't realize that it was a KK feature.  It doesn't work on JB for the "Ok google" phrase.

 

Does yours work from your home screen? Mine only works when I have google search open on the phone.

I noticed that when I went into the gallery to show a picture to a friend it said "camera" then "camera(old)". Basically any pics before the update are in the camera old and and pics after the update are in camera. Kinda annoying.

I've tried the google frameworks trick an insane amount of times but still no dice. I have tried just force stop, force stop and then clear data, force stop and clear both data and cache, force stop and just clear cache, force stop and wait 15 minutes and checked, force stop and cleared data and restart then checked but no such luck. I guess I will have to play the waiting fame like with the ZVA update.

 

On the up side, I am not too excited about the reports of losing the hidden menu. Also, I was hoping to see wifi calling, true split screen and better rf performance but it looks like none of that will be present. That kind of takes some of the excitement out of this update.

Shows both bands enabled on mine.

I'm not happy about losing the hidden menu either. I thought I was the only person that was bothered by this. LTE only helps with troubleshooting issues from time to time and I really don't want to give that up.

[Calvin200]

I do not see an "LTE Only" setting.  That would be under the "Mobile networks" category, correct?

Well none of those things were said to be in the update so don't be too disappointed man.

Once rooted base is out, I'll slap hidden menu in there and see if the underlying hooks are still in there. They didn't put Hidden Menu in the Flex from the get go.

Not correct, it was accessible via dialer code 5689#*980#

Is anybody experiencing fast battery drains with the update? Mine is draining about 15-20% on 15 minutes of light use. Before kk I might have gone through 2-3% at the most. All settings on my phone are the same as they were before the update. I installed it the normal way.

[duddys31]

Yes the battery does not charge nearly as fast as it did before. I use to could fully charge my battery in a hour definitely not even close now.

[mjnoles1]

Has the KK update helped with call reception? My call reception is horrible and I am hopeful the KK update will fix this.

After updating to ZVC yesterday I've seen excellent battery usage, increased sound quality in calls and faster connects when dialing out in fringe zones.  The interface seems to be a bit snappier, also.  LTE seems quite solid, if not a bit faster - though I'm not in a Spark market yet.

 

Given what I have tested, I'm quite happy with the update.

 

I did do a couple of hard resets after the ZVC update, so this may have corrected some of the issues that folks are seeing here.

I want to do exactly what you did after I receive my KK update. When you stated you did a couple of hard resets after the update, do you literally mean a couple as in two hard resets back to back?

So are you saying once it is rooted we might get the hidden menu back?

yes charging takes longer but my battery life is great 3+ hours and still 100%

I did a full reboot after the initial ZVC update, updated and installed apps and changed settings to what I wanted, then rebooted again and plugged it in to top off the battery.

 

The battery is now at 74% with 20.5 hours of usage with expected time to use at 76 hours.

 

I will state that I've not done a lot of screen time on it since updated, but have had 45 minutes to an hour of voice calls.

Anyone know of a ZVA TOT file? A friend took the update, discovered the removed hidden menu and would like to roll back. We get B41 here and it fills in where we don't yet have B25. That for me is a deal breaker as well. Definitely waiting on the stock rooted with hidden menu.

So can it be set to LTE now?  Or does the "it was accessible" mean no longer.

Yes I am experiencing that as well.  Have you looked at your battery status to see what applications are draining your battery?
