It WAS rooted but I unrooted it.  So yea its totally stock now

If there's any files missing or changed the OTA will fail.  This includes removing any sort of app from /system doing a debloat or modifying any files with custom icons or hacks.  I'd recommend backing everything up and just running the flashtool for ZVC and rooting via ioroot.

So I took my phone off the charger this morning about 3 something. I checked my battery at about 5:45am and my phone had already lost 12% with no streaming or screen usage in that time (I was sleep). Google Services was at 66% usage on my battery. Anybody else had any issues lately with Google Services?

I've read some phones will have this. It's a google thing. Just restart the phone. That's what I've read.

Anyone else getting experiencing the lack of data connectivity while on the go? It's likely a CSFB issue but I've noticed a lot of the time my phone will find a 3G signal but it won't be able to grab a data connection through it until like two minutes later. It can be frustrating when you're enjoying music on the go and the music stops because the stream can't go on. My father's s3 doesn't have the problem but I'm not sure if it's because of csfb or LGs radio configuration. I'm tempted to try out an AOSP ROM to see if the issue goes away.

I experienced this very same thing today on a LG G2, seems like airplane mode toggle sped up the scan. I have a sneaking suspicion B26 with lack of eCSFB might be causing some weirdness..

If this is the same issue I had it was due to my market prepping for B26. I disabled B26 and I stopped losing data drops. Are you getting where LTE goes to no bars then a red X and then 3G?

Yes. Now that you've said it can be solved by turning off b26, I really don't want to if b26 is about to be launched here. Lol

I'm seeing these issues on my g2, also. Lots of data drops, and a dead 3g connection occasionally. I even roamed on Verizon evdo for a minute earlier today which I've never seen before. Currently, Chicago is slowly rolling out b26, so the stories line up. I refuse to disable b26, though. :)

Ever since the 4.4 KK OTA upgrade I've been noticing a massive battery drain on my phone when I'm driving in my car.  I have a Ford with the MyFordSync stereo.  With the latest update to Hangouts I'll see 15-20% battery usage for hangouts and bluetooth.  The culprit appears to be StartingObexMapTransaction in com.andorid.bluetooth.Bluetooth.  The wake lock lasts for as long as I'm driving (which also means for as long as the phone is synced up with the myfordsync).  I didn't see this in 4.2 and the battery drain is slightly better if I uninstall the Hangouts update.

 

Does anyone else have this issue?  It is exceptionally annoying, especially on days when I spend 3+ hours driving.  I try not to keep my phone plugged in when driving to avoid unnecessarily putting the battery through charge cycles.

I only had mine off for about a week or so. Since turning it back on I have no had those issues. I couldn't handle loosing data for about 2 minutes. I know three people in my market that had the same issue with their G2 and when they disabled B26 it fixed issue and they have since also turned it back on.

Anyone have a suggestion for a rom? I'm feeling adventurous. Do any roms offer spark compatibility? I'd like a stock kitkat rom if possible, and have been looking at "Mahdi." Thanks.

Good luck with KK ROMs. There's nothing 100% yet. I tried Mahdi, Cloudy* and one other one that I can't remember the name for and in those cases had no data connectivity. Those are ports from other LG G2 phones, the VS series. It supposedly has something to do with the APN lists but I've copied the APN list from stock Sprint KK and replaced the XML file and still did not have working data.

 

The only KK ROM I had working data on was Liquid Smooth beta. Everything worked except had a random reboot thing going on that was kernel related. It started with a reboot 1-2 days after flashing, then more frequently after that. After about a week it would happen during calls so I went back to stock JB.

 

Just my thoughts.

For the peeps that have not taken the ZVC update and disabled the notification from GoogleServiceFramework, have you gotten another update notification that won't clear? Like recently?

 

Additionally, anyone using a custom PRL, have you noticed that you got a profile refresh over the past 24 hours and now running stock PRL such as 51100? Also with the refresh have you noticed that your LTE band preferences have changed back to default?

Interesting you ask this.... I'm on a ZVC build and got the update 2 nights ago, it was weird! I have actually never seen anything like it though. It did some update, then a PRL update and then it was done. I have no clue what was updated though, I am still on PRL 51100 and no other visible updates. 

 

What are you Band Preferences now? I'll look at mine and confirm.  I stopped changing them since I had to tot so many times getting the ZVC stuff figured out so I know mine are the way Sprint/LG wants them to be so curious as to what yours are "now" and what you had them at "before".

I had them set at B25=0 & B26, B41=1 and then data centric. After Dave posted in chat about a PRL update overnight but the PRL not changing, then also band priorities being changed, I checked mine and found it that all band priorities were set to 1, my PRL was 51100 but still in data centric mode. I've since changed them back to B25=0 and flashed my 800 priority PRL. Then this afternoon I got this notification:

2014-05-16%2015.23.04.png

 

I checked my Google Services Framework and the notification was already turned off:

2014-05-16%2015.23.48.png

 

I remember the hack on the S3 last year and eventually the notification popped back up and then after a few days the phone forced the update.

 

I wish Sprint would just leave crap alone. I'm in a Motorola/Samsung market, work in a legacy area bordered by NV where I have to have 800 service in order to make/receive phone calls and when I'm mobile I get any LTE that's out there. It works for me since I'm stuck in a contract "for the handset not the service".

Last night I noticed my phone while using it do the update then Prl check... Don't notice anything different.. I do know anytime I do a profile check our Prl check it will always move it from cmda back to global.. While I'm at home I always leave it on CDMA because I'm right on the fringe and LTE doesn't work where I am..

Thanks for your input. I think I'll heed your warning, and not flash a stock rom. I'll just use my n5 if I'm in a mood for stock. I basically wanted my g2 to be a n5 on steroids; better battery and camera.

The stock Rom is great already. The modded kk roms all show to be even more great, super speedy, more responsive and dramatic increase on battery life. I was getting more than 30 hours per charge. Once they get the kernel bugs worked out, things will get awesome. Never thought that such a great phone could be improved upon.

 

What Sprint has done with ZVC Though is ruined it. Maybe it was on purpose to drive sales of newer handsets. Maybe it was a byproduct of their engineering. Either way it was a disappointing move after seeing what the developers have done.

I actually don't mind the stock rom on this phone, it's just very bloated. I'm thinking of just rooting and running greenify to try and make a great battery even better. Have any other tips or good guides for removing the bloat?

    • Your referring to the $25.00 a month Infinite Unlimited plan?  I don't see any other plans on there even cheaper than that on their website.  I was looking at the Motorola 2023 Edge fwiw as well for $10.00 a month. 
    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.
