LG G4 H818P Marshmallow Update - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wanna ask if does anyone have Marshmallow rom for LG G4 H818P or know any pieces of information about when it's gonna be available on LG G4 H818P?!
Thank You.

Its available in some countries.
If you want to upgrade to it yourself you can look at certain posts like this one

Well the OTA update's now available. Upgraded a few days ago & now the battery's very awful during usage. Heats up. It's worse when you're connected to the Internet. Curiously enough it's OK when it's idle. Anyone out there with an idea?

I noticed the same issues on worse battery usage and heat up. In the update bullet point, it included improved battery usage but in reality, worse! Hope next upgrade will cure these issues.

what are the main issues and questions about the lg g3?

What are the main issues of the lg g3 (planning to buy one)..
Does it have the screen issue like the g2? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd5BTKpViUk
is there a fix for the overheating and shutdown issues?
how is performance in gaming?
is it possible to reduce the resolution to 1080p to save battery and gain performance (and maybe prevent overheating)?

Read through The G3 threads you will know the answer to all of these.
You cant reduce resolution.
Gaming is decent
I have had no such overheating since 10H update and no shutdown issues ever.

OK the. Do other users also have temperature and shutdown issue fixed with the lg update?
Never had shutdown or overheating no matter what firmware. It's abit laggy tho but way better with art etc.
I guess you guys are not heavy users? cuz I read a lot of users have overheating issues with message prompting them to decrease brightness as it is overtheating and may shutdown (what the heck? ... LG really lost it on that one... Do you really expect to get that kind of message on a flagship pricey phone??). LG seems to be making great phones but each time there's a deal breaker. (screen issues with LG G2 and now overheating/performance issues on the LG G3)... I hope they get it right with the G4.
Did antutu x benchmarks, 3 times in a row with 90% brightness without auto with an ambient temp of 30c. I actually can't remember if my score was lower last time (because of throttling), gonna check it when I receive my phone again.
No message about high temp etc tho.
ok you are probably not a heavy user.

I am a very heavy user. No issues. People need to understand a simple factory reset and installing the latest update helps. When i first got it i performed a factory reset and installed thr latest update manually so i never really had time to see if it had issues on previous firmware . although i did run a benchmark when i got it it got really hot. But i did the same after the update it just got a little warm nothing to worry about.
ok. I want to know if other users have these issues solved with the updates like you.

Zero issues, apart from the screen sharpening and abysmal battery life when the screen is on
abysmal battery life?
No one is experiencing this lg g2 issue on the G3 right?:

nice video showing that how lg g3 compares to the cat 6 version and the galaxy s5 prime
Sometimes the phone become hot specially when the phone is charging and I'm texting and browsing 'usually in a dark room so the brightness is 0%'
And yes my phone brightness decreased to 90% automatically and sometimes 80% due to overheating
Lg g2 was faster than g3 and you can see it when you use it for a long time
Overall. Go for it its awesome device

[FIXED] Amazing battery discharge

Hello,
Since I updated to MM, lot of things went wrong. Few days ago I got 3-5 hours SoT, and now it is really bad.. this morning it shows 1 hour estimated left and the phone is hot.
Instled GSam, will post screenshots later today.
What's the problem?
did you do a factory reset after updating to MM ?

I have noticed a similar effect on mine, but not so drastic. I used to get over 4hrs+ Screen Time On using Lollipop. Now 3 hours or less. Factory resetting didn't help.
Yes, everything wiped, all reset.. so no old data. MM is not as good as LP :/

Thank you for letting us know. Was thinking of installing MM but I value battery life over everything else.
..Sent from an XDA modified LG G4 on Verizon..
Yeah mate, np.. keep with Lollipop, MM is really worst. I'm using my G4 for about 20 minutes and already lost 10%. Battery life is incredibly low
I'm seriously thinking about downgrading to LP.
I tried going back to LP, but this didn't work for me. I thought I has bricked my G4, but thankfully LG Bridge managed to restore to factory settings.
As well as draining the battery twice as quickly (at least twice as quickly), I can now no longer pair my G4 with my car (so I can take calls by pressing a button on the steering wheel). Bluetooth just keeps crashing on the G4.
I wish I could go back to LP easily. After my last experience trying to install LP KDZ, I'm not confident enough to try it again.
Which tool/method did you use?
On the main MM battery life topic, it seems that the downgrade is successful through LGUP soft.
Am on same boat as you guys. Now, I updated my wifes G3 with MM and the battery time is far better than on Lollipop or on my G4! Go figure[emoji15]
Ok so, I found the okayest fix: if you use custom ROM (like Genisys), flash the stock kernel, it's much butter.
At the moment, no more battery drain/random reboot/overheating . :good:
Seems that SUPEREX kernel is faulty.

I found that the battery is almost 50% on MM compared to LL. From MM i often set the "economy mode" (or what's the name) and turn off wifi and bluetooth wehn I don't use it.
Using it with LG what is almost impossible, the watch drain the battery too much.
Luckili:
1- 20C is out, we have just to whait, I heard that on 20A battery has not that huge battery problem, so maybe they found a bug in the 20B
2-you can carry spare cheap batteries with you, I have always one in my jean poket...
1- I'm going to update to 20c ASAP (downloading right now..)
2- the issue was related to custom kernel SUPEREX integrated in Genisys ROM, flashing stock fixed it
3- I have an extra LG battery + charging cradle and a thin power bank (10000 mAh)

LG G4 h815 v20D overheating and poor performance ?

Since i updated my G4 i experienced overheating issues and poor performance .. I tried various tweaks but nothing helped .. I now using Cyanogenmod 13 but it is not snappy like stock and apps are opening much slower on CM .. At least performance is good, no heat at all and battery is better .. Any suggestions what to do ?
Hi dude,
I have just updated to V20A Brazil, security patch 01.05.2016, and things are great. No overheating and a ton of battery life. Make sure to REFURBISH instead of update - just to make sure.
Good luck!

LG makes it so confusing, to think that a ROM version 20A is more updated than a 20D.
Hello!
Yeah, it's a bit confusing. The way i understand it is that they code the versions per country or region. As Brazil just got MM, ver. a is the first ver. for them but it carries the latest security patch and fixes (it's more updated than g Turkey).
Cheers!

My LG G4 h815 is on v20D and have exactly the same issues... Not only that but also losing network sometimes as well as the phone struggling to re-connect to Wi-Fi or connect to data and it gets to over 40 degrees in no time. Haven't had those issues before hence logged request with LG to have my phone fixed as somehow I have a feeling that it might be related to S/N 505xxxx hardware issue though no bootloops yet.

I would disagree that it is purely software issue based on the fact that we had v20D since probably February and no such issues were observed until very recently without having anything new installed on the phone thus linking this to being more of a hardware issue made worse by pretty bad software update.
I think quite a lot of people noticed the faster battery drain and quicker heating of the phone with v20D which could have impacted the components on the motherboard (I've read about components de-soldering and getting lose because of that).

I have brand new motherboard and i have the same problems ... I installed many custom roms and there is no problems with temperatures at all .. It is sofware
I switched from the official MM release to ressurection remix because of this. Unfortunately it was even getting more worse - at least not better. Then I got a hint that this may be kernel related and installed the minamo kernel in RR. Now it is much better imo. So I think you should try another kernel it may solve this problem for you,too. If using a stock firmware you could try one of the other custom kernel out there for stock ..

Questions about LG G4 (Bootloop and battery)

Hy,i want to buy an LG G4 (Single sim,h815) and i want to ask two big questions.
1. I read something about the big bootloop problem, so, the phones that are now on market,they still got that hardware problem that cause the bootloop ?
2. How about the battery ? I read that the battery wasn't so good on lolipop, how it is now on the marshmallow ?
Thanks for answer :good:
Botloop is still a problem no matter when the phone was released - pure lottery. I have had mine since 8 months with no issue but there are bad examples as well.
Related battery, I would say it is below average. I get 48hrs standby with 2.5 SOT with 50% wifi and 50% data. Just web browsing.

Differences between Firmware v20A, v20B, v20C... LG G4 H815 (europe)

thankyou. Yes i know, but now which version is supposed to be the better one for daily use? I rode about battery issues with some updates and other generic problems.... for example some has a g4 (with stock rom but I dont know which) that, with normal use, has a 4h display usage in a day before it turns off. In my case (i tried some different stock roms) i arrive at 3h of active display in a day at maximum. What do u suggest?
thanks
