I presume everyone has seen this by now as it's also been posted on the Moto forum:

I haven't. Thanks. I just subscribed.
It's not Froyo, I think! And different with last one release
I just received this update OTA (3.6.360). It's for T- Mo phones (USA?) and has a link listing a number of "fixes". I have no issues with the supposed fixes except in on (T-MO USA) area: wifi calling. I had been experiencing some moments of voice loss on wifi calling. I did a reset which seemed to have cured it. Apparently this update stabilizes wifi calling and also makes "visual voice mail" now work over wifi. Let you know what happens.
I also just received it. Wow the screen scrolling is so silky smooth now. It was nice before, but it just glides now. Actually all selections are smoother. Homescreens, app drawer, widget scrolling. I also notice the touch sensitivity is better too. They greatly improved the overall feel of this phone's UI (not that it was anywhere near bad before). Very nice indeed!

Honestly I have never had an issue with any of those. The only thing I ever noticed was when I was on Wi-Fi, and I would text, I would see the icons for both Wi-Fi and 3G at the same time. Phone never gets hot, and battery life has been good (100% full charge with little use I can go 3 days. 100% charge with heavy use and I get a good day and a half). Since I just update today I will give a a little time, and post back if anything got worse or better.

One reason I ask is because I have terrible cell service and use wifi calling not only for calls but for sending text, which works fine now and would hate to update and discover I can't do this anymore.
OK DID IT... all seems to work as before. Somethings seem faster, sure I'll see a few new things as I go along.

I didn't sign up for anything... or do you just have to be a member of that forum? Otherwise, I presume they're rolling them out in batches?
Just downloaded it. Freed up about 70mb of RAM for me. Seems to be running smoother too. Booted twice which I was not prepared for. Still hoping for an official FroYo. After seeing the leaked release in the dev forum, I think it is a matter of time. If Samsung can release one for the Vibrant..... Yeah. But for now I can learn this like I learned my Win Mo.
EDIT: It appears that after this update I have lost root on my stock ROM. I cannot regain root through super1click nor z4root. Both fail to initialize. Super1 just locks up and z4 force closes. Not sure what could be the culprit. Did a factory data reset and am attempting to reinstall all apps including root.
EDIT: So yes it appears that indeed this has nullified my root access. Trying right now again with z4root and it is stuck in the attempting to apply root screen. Looks like Moto does not want their stuff messed with. Shoulda known better. Any ideas? I am really, really new to Android so I have been trying to avoid too much. Now that it force closed it looks like it will not let it do anything AND uninstalled it from my device. Will not let me install it again either. How nice. Glad I spent $ to be told what I can and can't do with my phone.
I have tried 3 times now to install this update, twice with the phone still rooted and once after unrooting and rebooting. Each time, I see the little Android guy next to an open box with a progress bar, which goes to about 1/3, then I get the triangle with ! inside next to the little Android guy. That isn't supposed to happen, right?
Judging by more recent posts about this update, it's just as well I can't install it.
10 characters!
I deleted the music downloading apps, but FamilyRoom is still there. And I'm finding that a factory reset doesn't restore all that junk, so I still can't install the update. Poop.

I'm having the same issue.
I've backed up all the bloatware onto another SD I removed with titanium, so I hope once putting those back on and unrooting will fix it.

I'm new to rooting and have the same problem, can't un-root, can't root after update. superoneclick stops at "reading OS version properties" when trying to root. Then says "super user not installed" when trying to un-root.
The worst part is the update reinstalled all that crap bloatware which is the reason I rooted in the first place. My bad for not un-rooting BEFORE I updated.

same here- anyone here knows how to fix this issue?
I finally got it figured out. My problem was that I deleted some "bloatware" files that, for some reason, are essential to have in order for the update to run. Assuming you did the same thing:
If you haven't already, use Z4Root to root your phone and then install the recovery app found in post 83 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875233&page=9 . Run that recovery app in Recovery Boot mode, select Backup, and let it create a nandroid backup of your phone. That backup will end up in /goapkrev/backup on your SD card.
You'll need to download the ROM from post #39 on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880813&page=4 Unrar it, then copy the folder containing 4 files into /goapkrev/backup on your card.
Run Recovery again, but this time select Backup & Restore - Advanced Restore. Select the folder you just copied to your card (2010-12-31.15.54.38), then select Restore System and let it run. That will leave your apps and data untouched. After the restore, select the option to reboot the phone.
Download and install the update, then reboot.
After rebooting, you can re-root using SuperOneClick found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913709 Don't forget to enable USB debugging first.
So far, so good
I'd like to know if it's safe to start breaking into it. I know rooting won't hurt it, but what about custom ROMs, or even updating to Gingerbread? I don't want to mess up the current settings that have been applied for the phone to work on nTelos.
Running Froyo 2.2.1 EC05

Actually if you stay on stock modded roms meaning you stay away from CM7 or any other AOSP ROM then you'll be fine I however have no idea to prove this but have only seen people on cricket and boost mobile have problems only on aosp roms never any stock roms
If you need the latest stock rom ill be happy to help you odin it and root it as well let me know if you have any other questions.

Ok...got another question. I keep randomly getting the "Error 67: Registration error. Your Sprint data service username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again"
Since I'm not on a Sprint plan, is there an apk or file I can delete to get rid of this thing? It's driving me freakin' insane!
Also, I was flipping through the phone and found this: W_RF_AUTH. What the hell is it? The permissions on it are sketchy as hell, do not want. OK to delete???
Ususal rule of thumb, if you don't know what it is don't delete it... freeze it with titanium backup and if strange things begin to happen then unfreeze... iif not its probably safe to delete...

I FC'd it and nothing has happened so far. Can't freeze with free version. I can't seem to find where it's stored on my device either. Root explorer searched every directory in my phone and nothing. I think I'm gonna back my phone up and use TB to uninstall it...if it causes any undesired effects I'll revert to my backup.

Have you googled anything to get rid of it? What is error 67 anyways?
For error 67, and this applies to most sprint phones that use Vision, Powervision, EVDO, Etc. Error 67 indicates that the username or password stored in your phone is incorrect. this condition is very rarely related to the coverage in an area, usually occurs after recent device swap, or attempting to use modem/hotspot while your account does not have a valid modem/hotspot plan.
Before going through too much effort, you should power your phone off, then back on, update your profile (this varies by model support.sprint.com has guides for most phones) and determine that the feature that you are attempting to use should work ( for example to use hotspot, you must be subscribed to hotspot. to use phone's web browser the web service should not be blocked, Etc.) if you still have trouble with error 67 after following this information please feel free to send me a private message.
When I odined el30 I don't think I had you flash the latest el30 modem delta so flash this : http://db.tt/oL0nSl3s
Then do the profile update as well as the prl update and reboot and see if your phone stops displaying the error 67

Thats a lot of data. I've gone as high as half that in a couple days. But some people have been saying that it's to obvious because your phone can't possibly burn through that much data. So eventually you might get dropped for violating the terms of use agreement. Idk. This is what I've been told. Just a heads up. That's allot. Plus I fear the day they do away with unlimited data because its used as a home internet service. ... Just saying... That's alot of fuggin data for two hours on a smartphone!! Haha lmao. See if you can hit a hundred!
I tethered my g3 with a playstation 4 and downloaded a full game to see if it would let me without hitting a limit, Thanks for the heads up. Have a few games to download in coming months I'll see if I can hit 100gigs.

data
I set everything up just as your instructions say and so far so good! I am however using skydragon rom with there kernal as a note. What im wondering is how do i tell the difference between using data and using hotspot data? How can i be 100% sure im not going to get a enormous bill at the end of this months cycle?
If you use prime thether mod and use a butt load of data t mobile can't do anything about it. There plan says UNLIMITED DATA! I know Netflix uses a lot, so it's hard for them to figure out on what your using the data for. I've gone as far as 90gb of data last month two months and nothing.
i cant seem to get this Mod to work. i switch roms switch modems. tried both, 10m and 10c and cant get it to work switch apn to Apn to APV4 and cant get it to work. i restarted my computer, my computer connects but there is no DATA coming thru, i tried with other devices, they connect but no data!. I Gave up.
Question. Is the tethering supposed to turn off automatically if it isn't being used? Never noticed this before but lately when I'm steaming to my tablet at work using this mod, if i pause what I'm watching the tethering is turned off. I'm usually gone about 15 minutes when it happens. No biggie i guess but i never noticed this before. Thanks.
SOAB. I just saw there was an option set by default to turn off after 10 minutes. Nm my Question.

Hay there I was the one who made that rom and 1.2 is pretty much pure stock + sd card kitkat fix so it shouldn't be on the rom side. If you have any xposed modules running I bet it is the problem or outdated twrp. Try to update twrp with twrp manager from the play store and/or remove all xposed tweaks. If I can give you some advice unless you really like 10C the lonely rom you might want to find a new rom. Sadly I don't have the time and will not be able to update that rom (at least not in the next couple months). I am going to request it to be locked after I do some changes in the op.
Edit* I just remembered I have two 1.2 versions. the first 1.2 was up for about 4 hours before I took it down and turned it into 1.3 so if you have the version that has the 2g/3g/h/4g icons (no 4g lte because H is what tmobile calls 4g and lte is the only true 4g) it is now the 1.3 version and has changes that will not work with primetether. Simply dirty flash the corrected 1.2 over your current build and primetether should work. Quick link to the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/development/rom-lifes-stock-rooted-t2821821
Does any body know if this mod works with any 5.0 roms?
Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there a version of primetether that works with the stock lollipop coming soon?
no more tethering?
Yes I also ran in to this problem last night. No matter what Rom I use, the Tmobile screen pops up when I try to access my browser. What has happened? Has T-mobile found a way to stop AOSP tethering and prime tethering?
I just tried installing SR Remix and it still doesn't work.
Hi everyone,
I've been trying new ROMs and kernels since I got my M8 about a year ago. Ever since I switched away from Sense ROMs to GPE and AOSP, I've noticed that my phone has become debilitatingly slow on a semi-regular basis until I do a clean flash (and even then, the speed lasts for only a couple days max after restoring my apps).
Specifically:
- In general, apps and system activity will freeze mid-use
- Phone calls will sometimes cause my phone to vibrate for a bit before letting me act on them (and even so, my phone may be too frozen to act at all)
- Screen power-on sometimes takes a few tries
- Major 3rd party like Uber, Snapchat, etc- will take a long time to load and stutter more frequently during use
- Camera takes a good amount of time to load regardless of app
I'm mostly trying to figure out if there's something wrong with my approach to ROM selection, backup/restoring, or kernel configuration, because none of this feels how using a year-old flagship should.
Here's my current flow between ROMs: Backup all user apps, accounts, and other ROM-agnostic attributes with Titanium Pro; factory reset with TWRP; install ROM + gapps with TWRP; reboot, log in with Google to install Titanium; restore all missing apps + system data with Titanium. I've used DH's GPE, BlissPop, CM 12.1, and Candy5- all with the same result of general slowness and unusability after a couple days of use.
Things to note which I suspect may be possible culprits:
- I haven't ever cleared out internal storage, but try to keep ~5 gb free at a time.
- I have 3-4 Google accounts synced at once.
- I regularly use Facebook, Snapchat, and Uber/Lyft- all of which feel somewhat bloated and don't adhere to Android guidelines too well as far as I can tell
Things I've tried to cut down on lag:
- Greenified aforementioned bloated apps
- Messed with kernel I/O, clock speed, and governor settings with little or temporary success (I stick to stock settings now)
- Clearing running apps regularly (which I hate to do- Android should be able to handle processes just fine)
Currently running Candy5, latest build on Verizon.
Hopefully I've been thorough enough in my descriptions to give someone an idea of how to make my phone work as well as I know it should. Looking forward to getting to the bottom of this, and thanks so much in advance for anyone who wants to put the time in to help me out.
Only thing to suggest is not to restore apps and accounts. Set it up fresh from the beginning and run the basic needs for a week see if that helps. Terrible issues can appear when you restore apps that are originally installed on another rom.

Yo! Saw your post a bit earlier. I finally go around to doing a full wipe (that's system/data/cache/internal, not just a factory reset), and only backing up the essentials (no apps- essentially just homescreen layout). Then, I installed DirtyUnicorns and the linked GAPPS, then restored apps from my Google account instead of Titanium. Been going strong for 2 days or so now, but I can't be sure that'll stick around. Honestly, if a full wipe doesn't fix these issues, I'm convinced nothing will, so I'm hoping for the best.
Slim zero gapps package works well for me also.

I also had a feeling it could have been a full wipe issue (need click on advance to get to other wipes).
Always let google install my apps also (57 apps).
Never have had a lag problem with Dirty Unicorns.

Yeah, I'm kinda doing the same thing now too. Previously I didn't quite use TB to restore my apps like you did; I just restored the data manually for certain apps, but I'm not even doing that this time. I'm just slowly installing apps one by one and giving it a day or at least a few hours of use before installing the next. It's super slow going and sucks to not have all my apps, but I just don't know what to do.

I'm still not convinced the full wipe will do it. I did that a couple iterations ago when I was going between ROMS and it didn't help then. The only difference between then and now is I'm going very slowly installing the apps back in and also avoiding restoring the data (data only) from TB unless I absolutely have to.
One oddity for me was when this would happen, if I would go into the recent item listing and cleared it, that would make a huge difference performance wise. Did you experience the same thing?

Yep, I did. It definitely helped briefly, but opening certain apps would bog the entire thing down. Never quite felt the way it should have.
Same thing for me too. Have tried all the best/popular ROMs and eventually I have unbearable lag. Only thing I've done between ROMs is restore apps via Titanium Backup (Just the apps, no data). Wonder if installing the apps 1 by 1 via the play store really helps or not?

Still figuring it out myself. I tried to go to both the latest VenomOne ROM and the last KK version of it and neither would load on my phone. Went back to DU and so far so good. But it's only been about 8 hours. Trying to restore as little data from TB as possible.
Update for me. I was tired of the lag once again (Was on this 7/7/2015-Lollipop Stock Rooted Google Play Edition LMY47O.H6). I downloaded Venom 4.3.0. Performed a wipe 3 times in TWRP and then also wipe in Venom. It's only been around 12 hours since I flashed it but holy crap this is crazy fast. I did not do any TB backup or any app restore of any sort, just did it all manually via the Play Store. Now typically, when I flash new ROMs it seems to be pretty fast but I don't recall it ever being this fast. Hopefully this sticks. I'll post an update in a few days.

One thing I found on Reddit just now. Apparently Accessibility features lag phones, see thread here https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/3i31fs/psa_accessibility_can_cause_your_phone_to_appear/ Only thing I ever recall using was LastPass so if could fill in the credentials for other apps. I just disabled the accessibility for it so I guess we'll see.

Interesting, I couldn't even get it installed on my phone this time! I've been running Dirty Unicorns for a couple days now, installed most of my apps and am having no issues yet. However, I do miss the TMO wifi calling. That's going to be a problem since one of my work locations has basically zero cell coverage.

Something has to be wrong with my phone. DU runs better, but still not 100% smooth. I still find that clearing the recent apps helps, but it wasn't like that a couple months ago. I don't know if I dropped my phone or the internal memory is damaged somehow or what. But it's still locking randomly and just not smooth.
Now I gotta figure out how to unroot and bring it back to stock so that TMO doesn't give me crap about replacing this thing.

I'm still not convinced the full wipe will do it. I did that a couple iterations ago when I was going between ROMS and it didn't help then. The only difference between then and now is I'm going very slowly installing the apps back in and also avoiding restoring the data (data only) from TB unless I absolutely have to.
One oddity for me was when this would happen, if I would go into the recent item listing and cleared it, that would make a huge difference performance wise. Did you experience the same thing?

Keep me updated. DU has slowed down since I installed it, but clearing recent apps seems to temporarily help things. Also started using Folio instead of Facebook, and relied more heavily on my Wear device, so things have been tolerable (albeit not great).

That's so weird
Also, would probably be easier to RUU because that puts everything back to normal.

So far all is good. I'm also not using Facebook or Facebook Messenger this time around. I have a shortcut on my homescreen to it and just browse with the browser. Works fine so far.

But that wouldn't get rid of the bootloader, would it? I still have to research the steps to perform, but not only do I have to put stock ROM on it, but I have to replace the bootloader and recovery to try and get rid of all traces that it's been rooted (the red text at boot for example).
I won't be doing that until closer to the weekend anyways. So I still have a few days to figure it out and maybe in that time there'll be a breakthrough on why my phones doing this.

Just out of curiosity, are you using a microSD, and if so, what size/kind? I've had a 64gb in mine forever (and wasn't even using it for anything), and I just unmounted it. Suddenly, everything is significantly smoother and the bugginess has gone away. It's only been about an hour, but I'm starting to think that might have been the problem all along.

I am, but I have replaced it. I was using a 16GB one, but bought a 32GB when these problems started with the purpose of off loading programs to the SD card since the phones memory was getting full. The phone is no longer full since I've wiped and don't have that many programs installed anymore. I can try taking it out to see how things go.
Well kind of. Not a paranoid thing. But I got my G4 yesterday and it updated to MM. So I'll start by saying I'm not sure if this is a MM only problem. Anyway, Today I went to walmart did some grocery shopping. I get back out to the truck and look at my phone. (I should have screenshot it but didn't think to) I pull down the notification area and it says Walmart save money etc. So I click on it and it shows reviews with a split view map. I've never had a phone do this before. I'm using the same apps on this phone that I did on my S5. So I figure it's built into the phone. And my guess is it has something to do with google now cards. Even though I never set cards up. I do use google voice however. It's a little annoying seeing as it's using data without my express permission to gather information to show me. Much like how it also uses google now cards to show me ETA to get home even though once again I never set that up either. It assumes some place is where I work as well even though I don't have a set job site since I do odd jobs. Any ideas on this stuff guys? Being on prepaid I'm on a very limited data plan of 1GB per month.
I know somewhat of that feature. It goes by gps to where you been looks like mm has that option enabled cause on my lollipop (not upgrading to mm) i dont have it set up. I have somewhat of the things set up as for home and work. When gps is on it will tell me when i be at work if i left. The weather and when i get home. However you can turn the things off so it wont use your data. Turn off location when you are not useing it. I think you can turn off the things in google settings and you can turn them off in cards

Found the culprit. After digging around a little I remembered the accuweather thing that comes with the phone. Click the little drop down arrow and this is what I see. Telling me it will provide suggestion based on time of day and phone location.. So I deleted the widget but can't figure out how to disable it in the application manager. Can't find it. Can only find weather in there.
Ah i see i had that before thats the mart notice. I dont use it but i use this widget on my phone

So since you've removed the widget I had you don't get them notices? I'm hoping since I removed the widget that it won't show up anymore. I notice your temperature is about the same as mine. New castle Indiana by chance? But for my weather needs I'll be installing TWC. It has been my favorite for a while now. Just haven't gotten back around to installing it yet.
Turn off WiFi scanning and location. Both use data.

I have wifi scanning off. But You're right I have my GPS on I used to have an app that absolutely required it being on to be able to use. I still do have an app that requires it but I don't need to use it often. (instant radar). Best weather radar in my opinion. But yeah after I do my battery test today I'll be sure to turn off GPS as well. I'm comparing the battery time to my S5 with this MM update from yesterday since I heard a lot of people weren't happy with the battery. So the only real world test I could do for my self was to leave GPS on since I always had it on with my S5.

Ah the G4 has more than 1 accuweather widget? So it has the style I had on there plus the one you're using? I'd love to visit, Bet there is a lot of opportunity for nature photographing with the great camera on the G4.

Yep just checked through my widgets. I've got that one that you have as well as the smart notices. Hopefully deleting it worked. I'm very greedy when it comes to my data. I usually have 800mb left over each month. Too bad it doesn't roll over.

You can try this the app may not use data unless you are useing it i tried to restrict my chrome but i can still use it. I think the app wont use data if it tries to give you notifications so you can try to use the strict option on a single app ot click the buttons on the top right of your moble data settings and click restrict all

Thanks just did that. I had set a lot of other apps to restrict background data but didn't include that one for some reason that I can't remember. But have it blocked now.
