V10K OTA UK Update available NOW!!!

Ok, apologies if this is old news, but didn't see. But I've just updated my O3D OTA in South London, UK. Not that it would make a difference but I'm T-Mobile in case anyone intereted.

Im having random restarts since update. Anyone else having this problem?

Yes some people complain about restarts like I. I install bootlog uptime and i discover that phone restart every few days, mostly when i'm not watching

I had that problem in the beginning but after a factory reset it stopped doing that.

Mobile Phone Support: We are expecting the Gingerbread version of Android to be available no later than November. The faults that you have experienced isn't a known issue unfortunately, I can only suggest that you continue to check the support tool for upcoming updates.
from lg phone support

I've not noticed any restarts as yet, though only been few hours. Not sure if it makes any difference but the only people I've seen reporting this prob are those who updated manually.
Would be nice if LG listed a change log, obviously there is the 3D converter, which is cool but I'm not sure it's as good as the native stuff as people suggest, though need to play with more. I was actually getting happy with my battery on V10D, so will see how this compares over a few days,. Other than Flash Player settings not sure if anything else has been added/changed....?

Yes i am having the same problem,i have reinstalled sw twice and its still doing it.
Sent a message to LG about it and they dont want to know about it and blame the problem on the carriers..

I have to say my initial impression of the battery life is negative.
I went to bed with the phone almost fully charged, and as I do every night I disabled internet, wifi, GPS and refreshing and and waking up this morning my battery is 67%, that's really poor considering I was getting about %5 drop before.
Guess I will see what it does during the day, though I'm now worrying it won't last till the work day!

This firmware has problems with Wifi. On an 'n' network, the phone keeps rebooting. On a 'g' network I get some reboots. Turning Wifi off solves the problem, but sometimes it's impossible to turn it back on unless you reboot...
It's a shame because the battery life with this firmware is finally 'normal' for a smartphone: 24 hours vs 7 hours before that.

My wifi is on all the time but is set to switch off when the screen is locked.
I'm not having problem at all with the phone and to be honest it's much better than before.
It seems to be running more smoothly and I can see that the battery management has improved a lot!
I'd say that I'm having the same number of hours that I had with my iPhone 4 doing the same stuff that I usually do before a recharge. So, at least for me the update has been a good thing.
Hopefully will get GB sooner than later.

I also must add that right after flashing 10k the battery was pretty bad and with the rebot problem.
After a factory reset the reboot problem was solved and the battery became super.

cheers for the tip.
What sort of data gets lost/reset on a factory default?

I presume everything gets wiped with a factory reset. So my question is if its possible to backup application settings WITHOUT rooting my phone?
Everyone seems to recommend Titanium to backup settings but I do not want to run the risk of problems with the Gingerbread update by rooting my phone, but I also do not want to lose my game progress either.
Its a shame there is no option to sync all application settings to Google servers, considering one of the huge advantages to me is that the contacts and calendar do exactly that.

I've downloaded 4 times now over wifi and every time I get an invalid software package notification and it will not proceed.
I'm on stock rom (rooted) with no Rom manager gubbins.
Strange, anyone else have this please?

I'm looking but my phone says i'm upto date on V10D??
My phones on Orange if that makes a difference?
Thanks in advance

Open LG's Mobile Support and go to "Customer support > Support Model" check for Orange and you will see the version that i available for you.
The last time I saw, Orange was stuck with v10D and T-Mobile with F.
UK and Carphone are on K version.

Yeah you can do it using the KDZ file or rooting and flashing with clockwork recovery.

Sorry for being a Noob I've looked but can't find a guide thats for a real noob. Only been running Android for 6 days? but the 3D convert was the main selling point so if someone could help or link I would say a big thanks.

New 4.2.1 update is worse than previous!

I updated to 4.2.1 lately and it's so unstable.
My experiences with new update:
1.Poor battery life
2.restarts itself every now and then
3.streaming videos doesn't go well either for some reason
4.doesn't seem as stable.
When I first got the tablet it was fast and everything worked well but now it feels unstable. When the dock is connected it charges the screen but when it goes dead it seems to discharge the screen even without using it.
Has anyone else experienced this problems?

Yea these are common problems i had exchanged my device because had 30 days to do so but the random reboots are still there doesn't seem to be any fix except for maybe another future update. I hope asus looks at these problems we are having and trying to fix. Theres alot more to it than what you had said just look in the q and a section so many people having problems if thats all you have your lucky as well i but so many aren't also wait and see more could pop up in future took a while after i got my exchange and some more problems decided to show them selves. This update was just thrown together wasn't good. Other thing you can do is go back to previous firmware some have done that you can go back as far as the first jb update but alot have just gone 4.1.1 i stuck with this one after my replacement and about a week later i just get a random reboot once and while my original would every couple hours device was almost useless not much can do to fix it but go back at this point.

go back to 4.1 then flash c,10.1 for android 4.2.2 win

Do I have to unlock it to go back?

No you don't can downgrade or reflash without being unlocked. Just name the 4.1.1 update file US_epad-user-10.4.2.20.zip or where US is just put what ever version your using like WW. You can go back as far as first jb update but 4.1.1 should be good in your case to flash cm or what ever else. I would unlock unless absolutly decided to or unless warranty ran out but to some that doesnt matter to them i would have thought same in passed but thats due to how asus made the unl0ck tool and they'd know no need in this case for u though.

Gear Manager 5 Sep update

All,
The 5 September update of Gear Manager caused my watch to continuously disconnect from my Note 3.
The only thing I could do was factory reset the Gear 2 and reconnect. However, restoring the backup failed as the progress indicator remained at 100% and never continued. The last resort was a full wipe and start from scratch reinstalling all the apps.
Gear Manager settings show that an old backup is still present but it is greyed out.
Anyone else had this problem?

I'm runing tizen mod 3.0 and my galaxy s4 running hyperdrive RLS 18.1. I am having the same issues but cannot figure out of its eithe rof my roms on the phone or watch. i did notice that this disconnect issue did not occur when I had the stock factory image on my gear 2. I thought it might be the roms. But now that you mention it, it may be the latest update with gear manager.
I'm hoping some savy developer or someone with more expertise on the issue can shed some light on this issue.

Thanks for the heads up. I was able to pull the old gear Manager apk file and did 4 factory resets on my watch and my phone to get the thing up and running again. Can't believe samsung would update the gear Manager and not do extensive testing if people are already complaining of it breaking gear 2 connection. [emoji19]

Any chance you could post the old gear manager apk?

I have TizenMod 3.0 and Saproviders stops, I can't get notifications on the gear anymore... Samsung is really making me lose patience :/
Edit : all due to today's upgrade.

Same here. Anyone else know if we can deactivate the automatic updating? I did my bi-weekly CWM backup just last night (lucky!) so I have no problem restoring but as soon as I reboot the damn thing automatically updates! I want to pull the sim out, do a restore, deactivate the auto-update function and just leave it as it is until there is a fix. I would try restoring from Titanium but there are like 9 additional apps that it either installs or updates after the new Gear Manager installs!

This may be late for some of you but this is how I get around the problems...
1) Before you update the gear manager app, make a backup of the gear manager apps with titanium backup. (all the apps associated with gear manager will have the same gear logo)
2) Then open the app and update the software
3) Once complete, confirm that your Gear watch is connecting and receiving notifications. (The easiest way to do that is send yourself a text message)
4) If your watch is not working correctly or not connecting to the phone, then go back into titanium backup and restore the Gear Manager app back to the backup you made in step 1.
5) Repeat steps 2 and 3 until it works.
I personally had to do this twice before it connected and I received notifications. For future updates this is the only way I would do it because it is such a glitchy application and I'm tired of factory resetting my Gear and re-installing everything multiple times.
I hope this helps someone!

Strangely enough this update worked fine for me. It was the previous update that messed all up here..

Was your watch rooted or modded?

Not this time. Reverted back to stock just to be sure after the problems of the previous update. Just had it rooted then though.

So you used ODIN to revert to stock, rooted by normal means and then updated the Gear Manager and it worked fine afterwards?

I flashed stock with Odin and left it that way after the problems with the previous gear manager update. Before that I just ran stock rooted, no custom rom. The only reason I rooted was to remove the camera sound, but I don't use the camera that much on the gear.

I'm thinking that this new Gear Manager update checks the watch for root access and won't let it connect. That's just my first impression anyway.
I removed root from my watch but kept TizenMod, re-paired the watch and it connected without a hitch.

I don't think root is the problem because most of the comments are negative and I doubt most people have their Gear rooted. I think it's a software issue because even before root was available there were plenty of people having issues with connecting and the software has not improved much since then.

When was the last time you made a positive comment for something like that on Play Store?
Still... you might be right. All I know is that as soon as I un-rooted it cleared right up. Could be coincidence though.

If it's an app I really like and support then I'll make a positive comment but I do also make negative comments as well. Root may cause some issues but before I had root I still had trouble with the app and had to factory reset multiple times just to get it to connect. I'm rooted and it still took me 2 times of trying to update to get it to work correctly. I think overall, Samsung did not spend enough time developing before releasing the Gear and Gear Manager. They're too busy pushing out a new phone every year and a new watch every 6 months.

Agreed. This is definitely a poor job on Samsung. They did this **** just before the release of the Gear S? What a way to win hearts and minds. Think Apple will have these issues? I mean damn... the developers on this forum don't even have fails this big! When they notice that something that they developed doesn't work as expected they pull the link, fix the problem, TEST IT and then release it almost immediately. This is neglect.

Sprint software update

After doing some digging I see there is a new LS996ZV5 update. I am rooted so have not gotten any OTA notifications. Has anyone gotten it and does it help with lag and battery?
My phone seems pretty snappy as is but always want the latest if possible.
Guess one last thing. What are thoughts on timetable of custom recovery and maybe some rooted roms for us Sprint users?
Any discussion welcome!

Got the update OTA this morning (I am stock). Phone is absolutely flying now.
Not sure on battery life yet as it's only been a couple of hours since I updated.

I unrooted and took the system update. It wasn't the new firmware though. Not sure what it was. I tried to have phone look for firmware update afterwards and it didn't show the new one yet.

it won't work while rooted, i've tried, twice. i'm waiting on the update prompt again to try my next thing, but if you want to try it feel free. if you open up superuser and go to the settings there is an option to fully unroot the device, its towards the bottom. After you do that restart and then try and apply the update.
let me know if it works! hopefully i get the update prompt again in the morning and will finally be able to get this thing updated!!!!

So curious as to what this update was. All I know is that today my battery life isn't nearly as good. Normally after working for 8hrs my phone is around 75%... Today it was at 40%... Massive difference and i did nothing out of the ordinary

That sounds like my phone, I've noticed that I Google services is using more battery than the screen recently.
Sent from my LG-H959 using XDA Free mobile app

My battery life has actually been really good. I was getting 15-20 hrs before the update and now I am getting 25-30 hours after. (Light use)

My battery seems pretty good also. Plus it does appear the widgets are loading faster and less jumpiness between screens. Rerooted after the update and all seems fine so far

i didn't get prompted with the update again this morning so i wasn't able to try anything to get my phone to update today. if someone hasn't applied the update yet but has the prompt would you be able to grab the update file and post it? i'll do the same if i get the update prompt again and nothing has been posted yet. at least that way we can try stuff without having to wait for it to decide to check for an update since the manual update check doesn't appear to do anything.....

Hmmmm. I guess I'll use GServiceFix app. See if that solves my issues
---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 AM ----------
Yeah. Its the android system using the battery. Used this fix app before and it solved my problems. Hopefully its still reliable.

again this morning, no update prompt and the "check for update" function continues to say i'm up to date. because i had issues with my first two i signed up for sprint insurance. if i don't get prompted for the update by monday morning i'll stop in a sprint store and see if i can get it swapped again. only problem with that is chancing getting one that overheats or has a bad screen like my previous two did

i rooted and got the OTG upgrade message, and i try but it show error and said my device is rooted then can't upgrade software. Then i try to use "fully unroot" in supersu, the supersu gone, but the error still shown. do anyone know how to unroot and upgrade? thank you very much!

sorry, you are stuck there are a couple of other threads with further discussion on it but so far no one has been able to get the OTA to apply after they have rooted. some of us have been able to get new devices through sprint with having their insurance and play it off as the OTA won't update. they have had enough issues with the device they don't really question it.

Help! On screen buttons not working!
I really need help. I factory reset my LG G Flex 2 cause I wanted to erased my info and give it as a present to my father for his birthday next october 14 and now the onscreen buttons don't respond, only the back button, nor the multitasking or home button. I turned it off and on, reset it several times, cleared the partition cache or whatever it is called but no luck, mine is running LS996ZV5. It was perfect before the reset. I feel so bad. Thanks in advance for your help.

Rolling back to 4.4 after taking the OTA.

This is the att version. Can we still roll back to 4.4 kk after taking the ota update to 5.0.1? I just bought the phone and it was on 5.0.1 and then another update went to my phone.

That just makes me mad. Why would Samsung do stuff like this. I am on TMobile but I'm pretty sure the same applies. I just got my phone and it was on Lollipop. Imediately I reset it, Android went straight to updating. This is before I even got a chance to set up my google account.
I kinda regret getting this phone, but also don't. Its a swiss army knife. A very efficient one

Same problem here.. just updated to lollipop 5.1.. I really want to downgrade back to 4.4.4... battery drains so fast.. this firmware is so buggy.. overheating with no apps in background.. tried to do a factory reset and wipe cache.. still, issues were not resolved.. damn!

This lollipop updates makes my phone kinda useless.. The battery depletes so fast without doing anything. I do hope we can downgrade back to 4.4.4... Graphical intensive games became laggy.
This lollipop has many bugs to choose from lol!

So is 5.1 worse than 5.0.1? I'm very happy with 5.0.1 so far. No problems. But maybe I should awoid updating to 5.1?
Sent fra min SM-N9005 via Tapatalk

How can you even avoid updating your phone? I got my T Mobile phone yesterday and before I could finish creating my Google account, Android restarted the phone in Odin and installed an update. I am still on 5.0.1 but I do not want any more updates.
It just seems Samsung is out to sabotage the Note 4 family so we buy their crappy Note 5

oops sorry.. its 5.0.1!! typo

actually lolliopop updates makes the edge screen kindla useless.. whenever u receive notification, main screen will have notification as well as the edge.. you cannot completely disable the notfication on the main screen.. so whenever you plays a movie or doing something, notification will pop up at the main screen although you can disable the notific at the edge screen, but not the main screen.. and notice the camera shutter too, before it was located the edge screen.. and now it is placed on the main screen.

Yeah Samsungs motto really pisses me off. Launch a phone and make it supreme on the Android flavor it came on. Completely ditch phone once its been launched and move onto next phone. Let Google figure out what to do with Android updates.
I srsly have to find a way to downgrade. The retard that owned my phone before I got it updated his to Lollipop

I just returned my edge and got the note 5. Good luck to all here. I hope everything gets figured out for all of us.
5.1 seems really good on the note 5. I'm getting two days battery usage.

I had boot loop. Fixed it on my T Mobile Note Edge by booting into recovery and doing a factory reset. I am now on 4.4.4 native.
And yeah, I figured you might do that. Samsung's model at its finest is to release a phone with native Android flavor and then just abandon it immediately. So for us suckers that keep buying their crap, we get stuck with updates or no updates. This Edge is prbly the last Samsung phone I'm ever gonna buy.
If only Microsoft or another Android vendor would make a phone with a curved edge and a stylus

Recovery mode I used was the stock Samsung recovery
