Evening all, I've tried searching but it seems my Googlefu (and forum search) is lacking here. Apologies as I suspect these may have already been answered.
I've rooted my UK 3 branded G3 D855 2Gb version and I've noticed I've not had any OTAs since, does rooting it trigger anything like that KNOX on Samsung? If so, any way to get OTA updates back? I've only rooted, everything else is completely stock.
Also, my apps close pretty much as soon as switch to something else but my Nexus 4, which also has 2Gb RAM they would stay open for hours, I could play Candy Crush Saga then 6 hours later go back to it after using Facebook and Feedly etc and it'd still be running; not on the G3 tho, it's gone in minutes. I'm not doing anything more taxing on the G3 particularly.

I got the update pushed to my phone yesterday and ever since there has been nothing but problems! First, the battery drains at a ridiculous rate. I unplugged it at 10:30 am and by 3:00 pm I was down to 60% without anything going on except 7 text messages. I can usually go 24 between charges. Second, the overall speed of the phone has slowed to a crawl. Web pages take forever to load, the app marked just hangs on the loading screen, and apps even take minuets just to open. Third, my phone randomly loses data connection. I cannot load any apps that require a data connection even when the wifi and 3G logo are showing with full bars. I get an error massage that says "connection failed" or "retry." it's so bad that when trying to sync notes or email my phone has the scroll wheel of death and freezes on that page. I've had the phone since thanksgiving and haven't done anything to it, its completely stock, I don't even know how to jailbreak it! I haven't had any issues whatsoever before I updated and now my phone is pretty much unusable. Is anyone else experiencing this? I need there to be an update to fix this update or for someone to tell me how to downgrade back to 2.3.4
You should try rooting and running an custom rom or kernel. I've received the ota as well but i immediately rooted afterwards. Im running the stock rom but using a custom, overclockable kernel, and its quick! Rooting is VERY easy on this particular phone & the instructions can be found here in the android development section of this phone model. Or you could simply just take the phone back and ***** to sprint about it and maybe they'll issue you a new unit.
I prefer not going to sprint at all simply because the only store with a repair center here where i live i worked at and it was terrible, but I need help. I want to know the simplest way to root and revert back to 100% out of the box stock if possible... If not i'll suck it up and go to the store

Do I need to root because this just shows him unrooting the phone?
You have been such a blessing! Thanks so much for being patient and dealing with my ignorance...
lol don't know yet.. but you are definitely more of a professional than I am so I am taking your word for it
I appreciate it. If I do encounter any problems I will let you know but so far so good. It's pretty easy to follow
It worked! Thanks again
Thanks! Being that I'm a pro now I will look into the whole rooting and flashing rooms. I even got the lingo down lol
Question though... Do I flash roms the same way as in the video or is there something different I have to do?
Hello everyone, is there a way to stop getting the KK update notification everday? As you already know you only get 2 options, start downloading or postpone, you only get to postpone for 1 day max, I don't want to update yet because I use my SD card and also theter my internet connection, and also read some of the problems other users are experiencing with the rollout, I rather wait until May as another member has suggested.
Is there a way to turn it off or delay it longer than a day, say 1 or 2 months? I am running completely stock
Thanks!

You could download it, but not install it to stop the notification. I'm on it now, and it's a great update. Not much changed visually except the all white icons, but it runs a lot smoother. Not that it didn't run smooth before, but it's just better. You could alway install it, and root, to get the SD Card fix. I did that, and can use it like I did on JB.
So I finally received my N7 from Asus after being held hostage by Asus for 2 months for what I thought was a simple RMA exchange. When I got it back it was on Kit Kat 4.4.4 got the OTA and installed it. When LP was installed I could not log into GPS no matter what I tried to to. I factory reset, flashed custom ROM, tried the "host file trick" when I flashed KK everything ran super smooth. Log into Google and basically have a Google experience with no BS. Flashed LP and problem persisted. Finally flashed KK again set up Google and was able to enjoy N7 and all it's Googleness glory. When I got OTA I installed them and I was partially able to use google services. I could install and update apps from the play store. However, apps would often fail when trying to install/update I was also not able to watch YouTube videos or use Chromecast. Dead trigger felt like I was playing it on a gs2 than N7. So I factory reset hoping to fix this problem believing possibly KK junk the reason. With some hesitation I factory reset and now at set up I can not login into Google.
It should be noted WiFi does in fact work, I can browse what ever I want on Chrome and can download straight from chrome browser. I imagine apps like Pandora could play, and I could watch YouTube videos on the chrome browser.
What gives I know N7 is far from cutting edge but its capable enough and with no carrier bloat and the fact it has official LP 5.0.2 it should perform like a champ. I hate to say it my backup GS2 runs better on LP with far less bugs. Anyone having same issues and better yet have a solution?
Could this be hardware? If so why does KK work flawless? Before I sent it in I had LP and had no issues what so ever setting everything up. Then I get it back and lollipop is trash.
All in all I am extremely disappointed in Asus without going into it let's just say their warranty program is Anything but world class.
So, I have a Verizon LG G3, and I recently rooted it and whatnot. I am currently working on a post for how to do all that good stuff soon. However, I installed LiquidSmooth 5.0.2 ROM for its stability and also for the ability to install Xposed. Everything was fine, until I started to have WiFi issues. It would have trouble turning on, and refuse to connect to most networks. So, as I could not find any helpful posts, I decided to make one. The solution that I found was this rather ugly but effective app, "FXR WiFi fix and rescue", which appears to restart all WiFi-related processes. Since I'm new here, I can't post the direct link, but you should be able to find it with relative ease in the Play Store. After running the app, which does not require root, I restarted my phone, and all was well. From what I have seen, this fixes various issues for various different phones. Go ahead and try it on yours.
As for batter issues, I can't really say that the battery life on this ROM was bad, but it wasn't great, either. So, I decided to download both Greenify and Amplify, both of which require root and Xposed (if you don't know what these are, I would NOT recommend screwing around with this stuff until you feel that you are well educated and understand the risks. As Sherlock would say, "Do your research!"). After that, instead of getting 5 hours of battery life, I now get a full day. A FULL DAY. I use my phone rather consistently throughout the day for different purposes, such as music, research, and social media. I woke up at 6 a.m., and it is now 10:30 at night, and I still have 25 percent battery. Even coming from the behemoth Samsung Galaxy Note 3, this is phenomenal. I believe it works by shutting down unnecessary background services during standby that Android is known to run.
So, I don't really think that either of these solutions are specific to any ROM or phone, so try it on yours, and let me know how it works for you!
For those of you that want the specifics of my phone, here you go:
Model: Verizon LG G3 (VS985), 32 GB
ROM: LiquidSmooth LS-LP-v4.0-2015-01-25
Android Version: 5.0.2
Rooted? Yes
Xposed? Yes
Recovery: Bump'd TWRP
I am experiencing a very annoying situation.
C.O.D. had no issues before rooting. Used my phone a week without rooting and experienced ZERO crashes. Currently, I rooted my phone for a day. After setting up my phone I am experiencing the most annoying crashes on c.o.d... Have the same problem with my S8+ which was already already rooted before the game was released. The game just keeps crashing so I thought that the main reason was the specs of the phone. Followed the rooting guide and am using a stock ROM.
N975FXXS1ASJG_N975FOXM1ASJ2_PHN with this firmware package.
Am I lacking any updates or what?
I probably wouldn't be able to help but for some reason that just doesn't sound like enough info.
What kind of crash? Does the app fail to start or it runs for a couple matches then quits?
Are you restoring game or re-installing?
What kernel version?
Does the phone gets hotter than usual since root?
System trace?
Shouldn't be able to play it at all if u ask me.. they usually try to block that stuff so people don't try to cheat. You have to decide what is more important to you or deal with the never ending battle.
