I'm a heavy user. Use the phone a lot. From morning 10AM to 2PM, the charge goes from 100 to 40% or so. Not really sure. I'll monitor it tomorrow.
And for apps? Mostly social medias (whatsapp, insta, db.) and 8ballpool and fifa 15. These majority of the time lately. Wbu?

Well..I also want to heavily use it but i face battery draining and over heating even while using the messenger app..I am going to buy a new battery today to see if its a battery problem or something is wrong with the mobile..
I think your battery life is decent if you play games and get that battery life...also do you face heating issue?

According to Sammobile and Phone Arena, Samsung is going to skip the 5.0.0 update and jump straight to 5.0.1. I'm wondering if this will cause a delay in us getting Lollipop? Here's the story if you want to take a look: http://www.sammobile.com/2014/12/17...droid-v5-0-1-builds-leak-both-to-skip-v5-0-0/

No its because 5.0.0 had battery and other issued
Then 5.1 is due in February to repair all the faults in 5.0.1....Honestly, this phone hardware is too good to be crippled by poor software. I don't mind waiting longer for a better experience.

The article states the Note 4 is skipping 5.0.0 and going to 5.0.1, NOT 5.1....
If we have to wait for 5.1 then that will seriously push the timeline back as the carriers will have to wait for 5.1 in late February and then begin their testing and modifications...

I'm aware of that. Just stating a fact, friend. Plus, my opinion remains that I'd be cool with waiting for 5.1 as Google has already found fixes for many of the faults in the as yet not available 5.0.1. Waiting till Summer = not a big deal to me.

To be honest, they probably had issues with Lollipop on the Note 4, therefor had to update it. I've seen this a lot with companies getting to far ahead of themselves. Let's just hope Samsung makes the proper choice before the carriers f*** it up even more.

Not sure where the "they had problems" wild guess comes from...
However, 5.0.2 is now available. Seems like Google is addressing any 5.0 issues reasonably quick. I have to imagine that the port from 5.0 development to 5.0.2 is not too hard. Intigrating the samsung code over whatever version of android is out at the time is more than likely the way it will roll. At this point it could even be 5.0.3 or .4

Interesting. Droid Life has an article up but in the screenshot, the software status was modified. Why would they release it for the G3 before the G4?

That blew my mind too. I was wondering if there was a reason like it was easier for them to do a older phone first for a software rollout. But it could be just Verizon being Verizon. Messing with our heads.

I think the modified status has something to do with some models receiving certain updates at certain times. I have 2 of them and one a few months older and it said modified after an update right after I got it. The newer one doesn't say modified and it came with later software. But I've always taken ota's on the modified one

Ive gone through quite a few G4s and I think some were botched from Verizon after installing their bloat and weren't reverted back to "Official" status. Verizon is aware of the issue and say it is normal.
On the update. The LG G2 got Kitkat before the LG G3 did. Who knows. Maybe they do it as a test to see how it preforms before releasing it to the newer gen.
Verizon G2 also got lollipop before Verizon G3.

Do you happen to remember the time frame between the g2 and the g3 update? Just curious if Verizon keeps it similar.
Verizon really annoys me. Why does it take them so long to roll out updates........are they too caught up trying to figure out how to load more bloatware on the update or something. At this point I'll be on to one of the new phones this year before the update even comes out. I like LG but this experience due to Verizon;s greed is making me consider either a different brand they dont lock down as much or possibly leaving.....which sucks because they do have the best coverage (AT least for me).

AT&T doesn't have it either. The other 2 carriers got 6.0. I would bet Verizon will get 6.0.1
Keep in mind, if a carrier sends out an update for a carrier variation and it has a ton of bugs due to rushing it, LG isn't going to be the one getting all the calls. I'd say that's reason enough to want to make sure it gets released when it's ready.

If you play games a lot that effects battery. I gained an extra hr of battery getting rid of my Facebook app and use Facebook through chrome. Just added a link to my home screen and set up notifications through my email.
If you have the Facebook app and don't have sync set up, it still runs in the background "resource hog". Hangouts, Google music, Google magazine or whatever it's called are always running in the background.
Just because you have nothing syncing doesn't mean that they aren't running in the background.
Ps. I leave sync on for everything. I also always clear my recents when I am done using my phone.
Hopefully this helps.
No fb app, never used it

The combination of an OEM known for being slow with updates (Samsung) and a carrier that's even worse, sad to say. A shame, really. The Note5 is an excellent phone all around. In truth AT&T is worse to deal with than the the the manufacturers themselves.

You are not understanding, I would all day but my phone is a free phone, I cannot modify the phone being in the Insights program, I cannot side load the program. I have a Nexus 6 for real fun, this phone is just my meh phone compared to the Nexus 6.
Also, the guy I deal with at the Samsung Experience probably knows more about android phones than 95% of the users on here, he is an awesome dude. He actually helped me root my first free Note 3 from the Insights program and was able to keep Samsung from seeing it so I would not lose the phone. Samsung has got smart though with the program and can tell now.

I am interested in buying LG X Screen (K500Y). Apperantly there is no root for it and also for other phones in this family. And there won't be any if someone won't have motivation to look for it. So here is the thread and the first donation. From me, 15$.
So if you own a phone from this family and want root, this is your shot. Don't ever give any number here if you are not gonna pay. I don't want to be responsible for bringing such flagrant acts. I can't run after people asking what they've promised.
But of course, I don't think this thread will even get replies yet alone amount to something. But you have to try in life even though the result is obvious.

I understand the whole (fine without root) thing that is exactly how I feel about most HTC devices, however I would go insane just because I know how LG's work the easiest lol, am currently on an s6 edge+ and I feel like im in another country, touchwiz sucks!

I'm sure Android P will be out before I get it on AT&T.

Just buy your phone without credit disguised at an operator, between the time they take to develop the update and bloatwares applications they integrate to their rom (through the boot screen with logo operators) I do not understand that people continue to buy their phone this way

I'm poor, and my Nexus 6's screen busted, so I needed something quick.

If you're referring to buying a factory unlocked version, that doesn't guarantee quicker updates. The US unlocked variant of the LG G5 was the absolute last one to get the Android M update. It seemed like LG didn't give much consideration to the factory unlocked version because that sold so few of them. The update finally came several months after everyone else.

I am poor too, but in this case it is better to buy a credit shop, and complete with a package without commitment next, the operators are thieves ..

This is rarely the case, although it is true that I read on forums that it happened on some device with some operators in my country (France)
the reverse is more often the case
oreo is updating itself on my v30. vz, orange county, ca.
Mi e started downloading the Oreo update about 10 minutes ago. Also in Orange County CA.
Downloading now. PA
couple of things. it didn't screw up my lg package installer. and no AI thingy on the camera. seem standard old oreo 8 year ago release.
Still can't get into the secret menus, and no change to the charging messages, but that's probably a something Verizon controls.
After the update, I get a constant notification that "Exchange is using battery". I don't see that app listed in my settings> apps and notifications. Not sure where it came from.
Strange... Exchange is part of Microsoft email server group. Do you have something like that installed?
Does it support OMS rootless Substratum!?

No. I have nothing Microsoft. I can turn the notification off, but wonder why I'm getting it to begin with. The weird thing is when I tap the notification I can disable the app I don't have.
