Overheating Issues? - LG G Flex 2

This phone has the specs of an absolute beast and is really cheap, I want to buy it but have seen many different views on the overheating issue, I would like to know if it has indeed been fixed or if its a real problem? Thanks

It was fixed, but was heavily exaggerated. I have a pic of a SD800 at 90C+ I keep for giggles, now that's hot. Actually my N9 nearly burned me when I picked it up a few months and the screen had a strange burn mark...
Anyway, 5.1.1 improved the temperature but don't expect it to remain cool even with intensive tasks.

Do you have anything to suggest that keeps it the coolest possible? Thanks

I only updated to 5.1.1 (11Z > 11X), but I suggest rooting afterwards because there's way too much bloat and stuff no one should be forced to keep. I do use screen filter otherwise the screen might blind me at night. It has the same (min) brightness issue as the Zenfone 2.
Once 11Z root is available I'm changing the CPU gov to conservative or ondemand because interactive is too lenient with scaling.

Alright, Thanks, I would like to see what happens to this phone by the time I get it!

You should be weary of the 5.1.1 PR file, it seems to be breaking LTE and calling for users. If you stick with ATT updates you should be fine. I noticed 11x ran hot for me, then 11Z fixed that.

11x/11z are Att firmware with lots of bloat, I don't know if AUS carriers are the same or worse in that respect.

Ohh, ok, ill have too look into it further once I get it, hopefully within 3 months boot-loader will be unlocked

bah, I hope you're wrong that 11z fixed the cpu issues... I'm stuck on 11x rooted for the foreseeable future I tried to update to 11z, it never came through, so I gave up and rooted 11x. oh well.

11x was buggy for me. My phone kept getting very warm and the battery drain seemed worse than the 5.0.1 update.
I was able to get the update by calling ATT with the $2 day plan. First I called the previous day to get 11x pushed, then the following day I called for 11Z. You have to speak with someone from the tech department to have it sent out.

1. 611 from att number
2. Press 4
3. Say tech support, then follow prompts
4. When connected to go phone rep explain you need help with a software update but tell them it's a command that can only be from their tech department. They'll eventually transfer you
5. Tell tech person that you need the OTA for an LG G Flex2 H950. And explain that your phone is on a version that's a few versions behind.
6. If the rep knows what to do an OTA prompt shows on screen for your device

Ok guys so I might not seem "reputable" Ive always been more of an observer of the forums..instead of putting my 2cents in about everything..yes I work for a T-Mobile authorized dealer for the past 3yrs..4yrs @ Verizon b4 this.. every so often LG/Samsung/Nokia reps stop in.. today it was LG who I haven't seen since the g2x launch.. obviously I asked questions.. he told me that the g2x was written w/code for 2.3 to be updated soon after release.. the problem was the code was written wrong..and thats why the phone reboots..because it thinks theres an update so it shuts down..and it took an extremely long time to find where the problem was and write proper code.. they didn't want to take the chance of releasing an update without being 100% sure, obviously consumers wouldn't be happy with a faulty update..he continued to say it is absolutely a software issue..he also said the update will be in two parts.. the 1st is a software patch to fix the reboot issue and the 2nd is gingerbread. He took down my email address so he can send me the update when he gets it next week..so that way reps can test it out and start pushing it in stores.. in my opinion I don't see the update coming in the next few weeks to customers if an LG reps g2x isn't even updated yet..and is barely starting to roll out for reps to test out.. sorry for the long post..and once again..DONT SHOOT THE MESSENGER! LOL

Bang!!! Sorry had tooo
Cool if it's true, meh if it's not.
The only ones I trust less than CSR (as they are just telling all of us what they are told to say) is reps.... sorry just like salesmen if there mouths are moving they are lying.
Just putting this out there...I talked to the lawyer from the class action lawsuit. Its very legit. With that hitting Tmobile/LG if there ever was a real update(and I don't think there was) I bet it is now going to be even slower getting to us.

I am rep for technical care and I am currently testing the 2.3 rom on my personal G2X. From what I can tell so far, it is pretty much in the same state + some stability improvements that came with the leaked rom a couple months ago.
Hopefully this update won't mess up with my non-reboot G2x.
Seems like baseband patch first and OS the next.

actually this makes sense.
1) people who have said their phones said there was an update after phone rebooted .. this has been mentioned several times so that part makes sense.
2) you are the second person from a different source today to mention an update for next week.
obviously its probably just getting to tmobile next week but at least thats something.
Let us know how it goes. if you dont see an internal update by next week than well know thats its probably not trust worthy. but what he said makes sense regarding the update stuff.
and hopefully the gb update fixes gps and wifi
thanks man at least its something.

I can say my battery life appears to be better, no random reboots yet.
I've also previously experienced what I call hibernate which is where I have to press the power key 12 times to unlock the screen. Seems to run a bit smoother as well.
Problems so far are the camera sucks now. When the screen goes to standby after I load a webpage and I unlock the screen, it reverts to the previous page.
I have had a few occasions where I have had to click a link like 10 times to get data to load the page. That all I've notices so far within the 24 hours I've been running the update.

LG v10 T-Mobile update

Well it looks like we will be getting a T-Mobile update to fix the dreaded fingerprint scanner issue finally
Good. The AT&T variant got the update already and their fingerprint scanner is fixed. Can't wait.
Hope it includes an update to the Bluetooth software. I still can't get audio to play through my two Kenwood decks
still haven't gotten the update for T-mobile

Be nice if Verizon gets the update out too, even-though my print scanner is working with my case....
Sucks if you're rooted. The OTA won't come through.. I wonder if there will be a way to flash it manually... Maybe...

Spoke with a T-Mobile tech support for the problems I was having with my phone I asked about when we could expect a software update like AT&T and Verizon got he told me between the first and 2nd week of March but take it with a grain of salt but we'll see
Please realize T-Mobile employees usually have no clue what they are talking about. I'll take that comment with the entire great salt lake...
Always depends on who you talk to. Occasionally you get that rare gem who is actually passionate about what they're talking about. Or you get someone who just tells you what you want to hear.
That said the timeline seems to be right for a March release.

Updated both my wife's and my G4 hen it came out. The down side was the whole bootloader unlock wiping the phone. I made the mistake of not backing up my contacts prior to updating a d had to restore my lollipop backup so I could back them up to my sd card and then go bacl yo Marshmallow. The other thing that I don't like is the way Marshmallow handles sd cards, fyi, there is no adoptable storage on LG/T-Mobile's version of Marshmallow and the sd card fix does not work on Marshmallow and all Titanium backups will need to be put on internal or it won't backup cause it will tell you that the backup on external sd is not writeable. Over all I liked it just switched phones cause I thought my G4 had major issues last weekend and neither me nor T-Mobile could get my phone to make or receive calls to or from my wife, daughter,. dispatcher, or my boss after 3 and a half hours of trying at a store and I had to have a working phone so I upgraded to the V10 and love it.

The hardware is different on the H950. Its got 1GB more RAM for starters. There maybe differences with the radio and LTE bands due to it being an AT&T phone.

Me: well can you find out for me if it is coming at all?
Lonnie: It will be before the end of the year.
Me: so you confirm model h950 at&t lg flex 2 will get marshmallow before 2017?
Lonnie: As of now its scheduled to be before end of year.
Me: ok thank you.
Lonnie: You are welcome
Hate to the bearer of bad news but I used to work for att in a call center. I initially did customer service, then tech support then chat. NO ONE in the call center knows anything about updates, new services or devices until that info is available to the general public. I'm not saying we won't have it by the end of the year but if we do whoever you chatted with had no way of knowing that for certain beforehand.

As for battery life on my 950, I have no issues, maybe you need a new battery? Maybe it's a placebo but I disabled mlt and I use the battery saver function and I noticed a significant increase in battery life

Ok Appleknight,
How do you disable MLT on a non rooted H950? I've tried all of the dialer codes to access the service menu but non seem to work for the H950. :crying:
When I also say bad battery, I'm comparing it to my previous LG G2 which has the same screen resolution (but a less efficient LCD,) and the same capacity battery. Under identical conditions, the GF2 would be dead when the G2 still has 30% in the bank.

Ok Appleknight,
How do you disable MLT on a non rooted H950? I've tried all of the dialer codes to access the service menu but non seem to work for the H950. :crying:

Thanks Appleknight, :highfive:
I will get the Mrs to give that code a go when her GF2 returns from RMA.
Just got off live chat with AT&T concerning Marshmallow for H950 AT&T Flex 2
Steve: I am not seeing any dates on that just yet however i will be able to get a number for you to call and they will be able to let you know exactly when that will be.
me: ok
Steve: You can reach customer care at 800.331.0500. They are open Monday to Sunday from 7am to 10pm your local time.
I don't live in America so if anyone that reads this does maybe ring the number and possibly find out for us?

He's just giving you the run around because he doesn't know anymore than you or I. Live chat IS customer care, that number will just get you to a phone representative instead of a chat representative.

Probably just a security patch ?

Security
It's not the April patch and we already had March's with Nougat. Hopefully some bug fixes and performance improvements. My battery has been a lot worse since Nougat
I notice a slight performance increase. Battery life definitely improved.
After the update, my phone won't boot past the Sprint LTE screen. Any one else with issues?

I didn't see an update from you about this, but I wanted to weigh in. I saw this thread and your issue. I installed the update myself and it seemed to stay on the Sprint LTE screen for way too long. I actually had time to stare at it, worry, then pull up this thread, reread your issue, read the reply about recovering, and reread the solution! Then the screen dimmed and after I stared it down some more, it loaded the system stating the update was successful. Not sure if this was your issue, but maybe? For those that may run into this, I guess be patient!

To fix the issue, I had to perform a clean Odin flash then update. I'm guessing the conflict was related to me previously being on the beta versions of Nougat.

Samsung's security updates are a month behind, it was basically the march security update now that it's just about April.

I had same issue before this update. Phone was stuck on beta version and said I was on the latest version when checking OTA. Smartswitch is complete garbage. Not only do you have to mess around with old C++ redistributable just to get the latest Smartswitch to run, once you do get it running the auto-prompt to revert back to stock no longer worked and the manual recover feature also didn't work as it said I had an invalid serial number even know I didn't. Not only did it not work, apparently the serial it wants is on the box only so if you don't have the box your SOL. I had the box and it still didn't work. Total lousy tool and worthless.
I ended up having to flash the official build with ODIN doing a clean flash. Once I did that, everything was great. Issues went away (battery drain, lag, getting hot, etc) Now this latest update popped up like normal. Update didn't take long to install, all good.
So those that were on beta at some point, use ODIN to flash official build. I already have a GS8+ on order and moving to big red after 15+ years with Sprint. Sprint is taking away subsidy on top of I can't take the network anymore it's total crap. That is a story for another day.
Well if anyone cares, the update includes the checks against hiding GPS mock apps from system. No more hiding. No more Pokemon Spoofing, if you're into that.

I just checked with your app. It still does not work in Pokemon. It says failed to detect location. The "fix" was almost specifically to benefit Niantic.

I have the same issue. Updated late Sunday evening and never got past the LET screen. I left it on over night plugged in and still at the LTE screen in the morning. Went to Samsung Experience Center in Best Buy and they re-flashed and all was well with no data loss.
I was prompted for the update again this morning, ran it and again looking at the damn LTE screen as I type this. The Samsung folks are off until Thursday so trying to figure this out. The SmartSwitch app does not recognize the phone.
Will look at Odin and appreciate any tips you, or anyone, has.
