VS98714A Update, any thoughts?? - Verizon LG G5 Questions & Answers

:fingers-crossed: Great, now I can see "Fast Charging" on the Lock Screen?? Really?? I pretty much know by now when device is "fast" charging!! Hopefully the update did more then that!! (Worse, I do not use the Lock Screen.)

Supposedly there are security updates also? I really don't see much difference but I installed the update because I want LG and Verizon to be happy! <G>

I got the update last week. It broke the wallpapers. Only live wallpapers work now. Regular pictures just show up Ashland screen. Also when I click on some text boxes the curser will blink in the box but the keyboard does not show up. Always seems to happen at the worst time.
---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------
Post above should read "show up as a black screen". Not Ashland screen. I cannot edit from the new version of app. Says edit failed.

VS98715A just pulled down to mine. Wonder if it addresses the wallpaper issues?

---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------
Could u try disabling it and report back the results pls?
Hey, you're right it all works fine well for now maybe, ill update if anything changes. thanks!
any update?
I ask because I've been hunting down a battery drainer too and found this partial wake lock preventing my phone going into deep sleep. I removed the HTC mail widget from my homescreen and the wake lock has gone away. It kinda sucks cuz I like having the mail widget. Just wondering if you found a different solution to this problem.

Lollipop on the S5

I see the current thread about the recent update. But that thread is more about how to upgrade without losing root. Don't get me wrong, I'm interested of that is possible.
But I thought I'd start a thread about people's impressions of Lollipop on the S5. Pros and cons. Thanks for your input.
lol its a thread about the L update.. there currently isnt a way to upgrade without losing root so that is being worked on right now..
As far as the actual update, its a fresh change and everything they said itd be. Plain tw os lol

With several features of Lollipop not being included for the S5 release it feels to me like just a color change with a little different lock screen.

Can those with the update possibly comment with which specific features are present and which are missing? I have heard rumors, seen "change logs", and seen some random posts here or there, but think it would be useful to the community to get a confirmed list of what is included and not included. If people can post in this thread of what they find or do not find, I can compile them into a simple list in this post. Thanks in advance!
I love the look of the new lock screen and want eclipse ROM to upgrade to 5.0 and have that. However, I saw that the 'trick' for the notification bar where you pull down once for notifications and twice for toggles like on nexus was not included which I'm upset about

Is this left out because you can do the 2 finger pulldown to get quick toggles?
Ok guy's am I screwed since I took the Ota without preserving root?
I got the update yesterday, and so far so good. Battery life seems a tiny bit worse, but that may be because I've been putzing with the phone more. Will continue to monitor the battery life.
The Fingerprint lock screen is much better, and the fingerprint sensor seems to be more accurate, if that is possible.
With the new fingerprint screen, when I unlock, I get a short vibration (haptic feedback?- I am usually in vibrate mode). The phone did not do this before. Also, I get a vibration when I put it on the wireless charger. Again, this did not happen before. I can't figure out how to stop it, as I would prefer not to have these vibrations occur.
Other than some visual differences, these are the only issues I've come up with to date. If I could figure out how to eliminate the vibration when I unlock the phone or put it on the charger that would be great.
Anyone experiencing the GPS turning on every time you unlock the phone? for a second or so.
Kitkat is better and more stable as the daily driver.
Lollipop has more novelties but not better on performance.
Depends on what you prefer.

The one I'm most curious about is ambient display, since we have the AMOLED screen. Any sign of it?

Trusted devices works fine, and was included - just has to be turned on in settings, at it is off by default. I'm using it right now.

+1 for the Trusted Devices, I am also using it right now with my Gear Live.
Turn it on at Settings -> Security -> Trust Agents -> Smart Lock; then back up one level and a new Smart Lock option will be available which allows you to add Trusted Devices and Trusted Places. It may not show up if a secure lock screen is not enabled.
So I got Lollipop now....and there is definitely one thing that is absolutely horrible! This is also confirmed to be wide-spread (not just S5).
Now, When you put your phone to silent/mute, you will NOT GET LED light NOTIFICATIONS. Period.
Only way to get LED light notifications is while phone is in Sound/Vibrate mode. This is severely sad and many people are expressing their opinions about this across all Lollipop devices. Using some 3rd Party App (LightFlow) as a workaround is not a real solution either.

No, you can flash a stock tar, boot to recovery, full wipe, reroot following the old ncg instructions, and then follow the guide in general on flashing the rooted rom for OA8 from nk2.

Glad you found that. That's not exactly where the android site said to find it.
You guys think that any devs/ROM creators will be able to add features like the new google notification panels and stuff and get rid of the TW stuff? Nitro has already created an older AOSP ROM that is brilliant so I'm curious if devs will try to emulate a ROM based off of the newest 5.0 Google

Yes. I have two S5 and this happens on my wife's. Mine does not do this. So far I have not found what is causing this.

Help. Can't connect.

Anyway to skip this entirely.I got this watch from someone and when i tried to connect via Bluetooth it reset and now won't do anything but try to connect via gear manager which I can't get to function properly on my HTC m7. Can't I just get it to boot up with out Bluetooth connectivity?
When going through setup(and forgive me, I might be a little off on the exact instructions, it has been awhile), tap where is says gear 2 in the top left corner 30 or so times (not exaggerating, takes a ton of clicks), this will bypass the setup. I'll look around and see if I can find the original thread I found these instructions from, because as I said, all from memory, and my mind isn't as sharp as it used to be!
---------- Post added at 09:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------
Here you go, there were a couple more steps to it... Eventually a popup shows, and after it disappears you have to press and hold gear 2 for a second. Here's the thread I found the info from.

Security Policy prevents fingerprint unlock ?

After the recent update I cannot use fingerprint unlock because of "security policy", I have to use pin or pattern instead. Any ideas ?? Thanks

Has anyone factory reset
This is a feature that has been added thats similar to ios. It only happens after a reboot. Then you can use fingerprints
Ok, just figured out one thing. When using an app to screen off, it asks for the password, but if I use the lateral button, it uses the fingerprint. So, the problem is with the app to screen off...

I can confirm this. Just installed Samsung's latest update for S7 and after that, if an app is used to lock the screen (e.g. Screen Off and Lock) the phone always requires pattern (or PIN or password) to unlock. Fingerprint recognition can be used only if the phone was locked by power button or time out. This is not a one-time event. It happens every time and won't go away until you stop using a screen locking app.

Yes this also happens to me. I have installed lots of different lock screen apps, all same problem.
Yes, I finally found the culprit... Nova Launcher "double tap gesture" to lock the screen requires Device Administration permission. If you toggle it on then the fingerprint unlock becomes unavailable. Thanks for all feedback !!
Yepp, I just got the update a few mins ago and this was the first thing I noticed. I'm a bit annoyed and I've found no fix.
I use Nova Launcher gesture for screen lock.
Same,.,
This is the reply i got... Check the attachments.. I guess we have to deal with it..?
Agg listening in on this, because I got the problem to. Bought Screen Lock Pro that worked on Nexus 6P, but settings crashed when trying to active the device administration part.
Damn! should have read this before updating.

Tried to uninstall and install in a desperate hope that would help and it does. Now I have an icon to lock the screen and fingerprints work. Only minor issue us that there is a 10 sec delay, but the screen turns off right away, so it doesn't seem like an issue.

When you lock the screen. Seems that's the way the developer got it working on Marshmallow.

Edge Lighting issue

Hey guys. I need ur help plz. My edge lighting is working but it doesn't go around the screen anymore if that makes sense. Like when u play music the light goes around the screen infinitely. Any ideas? Cheers
Hey, I just ran into this issue too with my phone. After factory resetting my phone, my edge lighting works but it doesn't run around the edge of the screen. All it does is turn on. I tried clearing cache and deleting data on the edge panel app settings but still nothing.
Tried uninstalling the Edge Screen update version 3.1.00.1 but still the same thing..
Did you find a fix or anyone? TIA
---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------
NVM. Figured it out. End up, you have to set "animator duration scale" in Developer Options to a scale instead of turning it off. Might have turned it off by accident..
