Will the International variant get the forced update? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does any one with the international variant have the forced update yet? I'm curious because I hear it may improve battery life and as mine is quite poor I'm very interested in getting the update!
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

I'm in the same boat. Hopefully we get it soon.

Is there a changelog for this update? Cause I've seen people post about it but I can't find any info from LG.
I'm using the international version and I want better battery and screen responsiveness.. and nog lag while browsing..

4.2.2 Leak for Optimus G Pro (E985)

Just look at this page: http://www.zpsjbbs.com/thread-5804-1-1.html
I guess we have something coming but Google Translate fails in translating Chinese a little bit. Maybe somebody knows chinese and helps us to get the idea.

So g pro finally will get update
AT&T model is e980 though. IDK either way I'm not holding my breath... might pass out before anything happens. I do hope we get a update though. The value pack update was cool but lame at the same time. I think we would have rather had the 4.2.2 update with value pack included or even better 4.3!
True but I would hate to go back to stock to take 4.2 but would. Is it better to be able to root the real Rom or have a modified Rom that can be changed? I like both options especially having the real one to fall back on.

Talk about LG's 4.2.2 changes it, now I know the following:
1, seemingly smooth some personal feeling
2, the boot animation is a "leading 3G life" (which is customized mobile Well, inevitable)
3, the lock screen can slide around the page, you can also add widgets (Google 4.2 features)
4, dialers landscaping, pretty
5, QSlide support dialers, that is dialing can be reduced
6, built a lot of customized mobile software (currently can unload without ROOT)
7, Q removed the air conditioning remote support, and support for many domestic brands
8, according to three virtual machine when there is no vibration of the (do not know the underlying been destroyed, nor can the underlying 4.1 4.2 system inside)
9, adding an interactive screen saver function, we can look at the last screenshot
10, to display the "Developer Options", then, you need version 2.5 on, this is also a feature of Google 4.2
11, the addition of a "Wireless store" function, and 4.1 wireless sharing similar.
12, press the volume appears after a Settings button, you can set various volume, three seconds without operation automatically disappear
Is there a download for this? Maybe we could port this.

It says 'Theoretically, it suits for E985/E986/E988'.
It is a test version and customized by China Mobile.

Well depends On my E980 When flashing say the E988,E986. I only get 12GB of internal storage instead of 23GB, and it erases your EFS partion and you have to load the baseband and restore EFS. And if you loose your EFS your screwed.
Any news on the possible OTA yet?
Sent from my LG-E988 using xda app-developers app
does anyone know for sure if this is 4.2.2?
would be promising if it was.
also anyone brave enough to flash it?? I was considering doing it myself just to give it a test run but wasn't exactly sure how to flash it...but then again if I lose EFS im potentially screwed?
If you pay and share the leak with me, i'll flash

QHD Display and Gaming Questions

Can someone explain how this will work? are the games rendered at 2560*1440 or is it 1920*1080 scaled? or is it up to the game developers how this works?
I like the LG G3 but I'm a little concerned about the extreme resolution and how it will effect gaming performance, I'm probably worrying about nothing and Android has a way of handling this but I want to be sure.
Thanks in Advance.

The games with 1080P Resolutions will run on 1080P resolution itself. Its like watching a 720P movie on a 1080P display. Unless they come up with the new Quad HD [xxxhdpi] trend.

Until everything catches up. The only real qhd stuff will be the wallpapers and lg specific apps.
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk
Okay, so it sounds like games are upscaled somehow or the internal target resolution still remains 1080p?
How about emulators like N64 or PS, if they have no option to set resolution will they be forced to use 2560*1440 when going fullscreen?

Just give the devs some time and Im sure they will bypass the bootloader in one way or another. The phone hasnt hit the global market yet.

as long as t-mo doesn't pull the stunt they did with g2 then you would be able to root g3 on t-mo
So on the g2 t-mo released there variant on 10c we had easy root access and it was easily exploitable for loki usage; fast forward about 8 months to the killer kitkat update for the g2 it took the devs exactly 6 days to figure out a workaround to use loki but 13 days total because we needed the source from lg(they slowed us down), fast forward to late April early May the ls980 finally got kitkat and autoprime(awesome dev) figured out a way to root using the stock recovery and shared it with the community and suddeny there were a lot of reports that the d801 t-mo variant was not being rooted, that there devices were being wiped and it turns out that for some reason t-mo removed access to the stock recovery, it was still there but it was only there for the factory reset option and so root was not and still is not possible on the t-mo g2 all the t-mo users need to downgrade to 4.2 root and either update to kk and hope root survives for those without supersu pro that had survival mode or downgrade to 4.2 root/custom recovery and then install a flashable 4.4 rom for there variants
so if you read my mini rant I suggest you wait until after the g3 is released on t-mo and we have more available information

Difference between OFF and OF7?
Got the update this morning... Installing now.
Update complete! First thing I did was remove S Finder and Quick Connect from the notification pull down. Other than that, I have no idea what's changed hah!
I noticed under developer options there is a toggle to unlock the bootloader. Good job Sprint!

It's official, we're getting Marshmallow!

https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/software-updates#tmoSUPDocTitle
Now we just have to wait to see how long it takes for T-mobile to put it through testing. I can't wait to have SD card integration with the onboard memory!
Yep. I noticed this yesterday when I was seeing what is new about 20g. FWIW, 20g is just a Stagefright fix. It will sure be curious to see how long it takes LG / TMO to get Marshmallow out for our G3s. I bet its well into 2016!!!
Just can't wait!
Thia is going to be great! I hope it will work good on the Lg G3 but it will be great.
Great. Keep up the support T-mobile!
Anyone gotten or know when the update is releasing??

According to the OP's link: Out of 3 stages, the G3 is in stage 1 Manufacturer Development. If this is still true, don't expect a D851 stock Marshmallow upgrade any time soon.

Does this actually mean anything though? Are the drivers/modules for GPS/Wi-Fi/data the same for the d855 as they are for the D851?
I have been avoiding MM ROMs like the plague because they all seem to have massive issues with one or all of the above. Until the devs can take the modules and whatnot from the official D851 MM then it seems like it's going to be a problem.

Hello
I am currently with this rom and the only problem has been the bluetooth service, the rest all works perfectly. Best regards.
Note: My service provider is not t-mobile, is Movistar in Colombia.
It will tell you that everything except data works perfectly and that the data is buggy, it says data is buggy on all of the port though soo

If you guys look on their webpage and try to click on any of the Update links after clicking on device topic ( /docs/DOC-11935 ) the page is a 404 so i think they are about to Go into Tmobile Testing for the G3
The update page shows it Manufacture Development. On the bright side the G4 went from development to release without the testing stage.

Note 5 AT&T marshmallow release update confirmed!

Guys I got the release update information!! According to an AT&T rep the release date is.......... MID July! I know so exciting right??

I did it, made a smart switch backup, update via side load, restore backup. There was some re doing of a lot of stuff but I'm running MM.
Honestly, in my opinion MM is better in every regards. I miss weather on the lockscreen and the lock screen swipe effects, but those are a small price to pay for the battery life and performance improvements
