09-27-2016 ota gps fix? - T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
Woke up this morning to a T-Mobile OTA was out of it and I pressed yes and it was about 500mb.
First thing I did was test the GPS and got a very fast and accurate lock.
I usually never get a lock and its always searching.
Can anyone confirm.
Thanks!!

no updates here .

Is there any way I can tell which update it was?
GPS seems to be running fine since I updated.

No updates here either. Wish there was though, I hate the GPS on this phone.

I'm about to update soon, no show of what it really does, it's a hefty update for sure half a gb, has to be good update, wish it were nougat though lol.

I see the update here, but I'm rooted running custom theme, etc. Can anyone who's installed the update confirm that it didn't mess with root?
EDIT: Nevermind. I am the dumb. Just read some other threads

I just got mine this morning I'll double confirm.

Mine isn't locking on my actual location but, close.
On the plus side it was super fast to get my approximate location and lock lol.

Is any one getting a permanent wifi call notification. I don't use that feature but it's an error.

Did nothing for GPS

Hey y'all.....what should my current versions say? I just got the phone today after taking back my S6 Edge that I had gotten the other day, and unlike the S6 Edges million updates, I received none when I set this phone up. Idk how that's possible if its a new phone. In suspecting they gave me a refurbished phone.

Random Update

so i was using my phone, and it just prompted me to install an update. I've gotten all the prior ones At&t has forced, so I was just curious if anyone else was getting an update. Also their support page doesn't have any information on it.
I'm getting it too. It's updating right now. I also couldn't find any info on it either.

When its done updating, let us know the build number. I got the notification but i'm not updating since I've got a rooted 10I build right now.
same here. It is taking a while so I am hoping it is the MM update since Lollipop has been sucking ass

Highly Doubt its M...if it is, that would be an unheard of fast for ATT...I believe its just an update to fix the Stagefright bug
OK, its almost done. Optimizing apps.....
the build number is lmy47d, the software version is h81010o
Maybe it fixed touch issues? it feels better, but it may be placebo, only time will tell
Also slow motion is missing from the camera for some reason. not okay
For me, the touch issues went away on the last update before the stagefright update.
However while optimizing , my G4 got extremely warm. Never had it this hot since initial setup.

I just installed the update and I still have Slo-mo on my camera. Maybe your update only partially applied? I can't seem to find any release notes on this update yet. I saw some things about an update for battery improvements for overseas models in an update that came out about a week ago.
Optimizing apps....will post up if i find anything new & exciting.
Just a thought....could this update be the one that enables wifi calling? iPhones on iOS 9 just got it a few hours ago...
Slowmo still sucks terribly and I was pissed when i ordered the G4 at launch for the manual camera control and then it turned out it was only in stills not video mode. Then they say manual video is in V10. Funny as they keep posting V10 manual mode video examples on FB and they are all terrible. If it wasnt for removeable battery and SD card I'd be back on Iphone because it absolutely is now destroying all Android phones, the Slomo quality is amazing. Although I would also miss the video record/pause feature a lot. Still pissed everytime I open gallery and see tons of crap albums that I could hide on the G3 but cant on the G4, what a fing mess. LG G4 on Lollipop has so many bugs, omissions and nonsensical features that it is beyond irritating to have to pray for OEM updates for corrections. I have never stared at a phone before in total hate like I have this AT&T POS. The Google play services update strategy is still total crap. Memory leaks and bugs still abound. Until this OEM release crap ends Android will always be a buggy 2nd class OS.

Not seeing any Wifi calling settings
Just got this. I didn't even know that was another update, until I picked up my HOT phone and see that an update has been install. This morning has been crazy, wonder if I accepted the install on accident...
To hide albums just put a .nomedia file in the album. If you haven't used QuikPic app you should try it, you can choose to hide albums with the app as well.

T-Mo pushing out updates for V10

Just got an App Update notification. Thinking it might just be same as ATT's update.
I did not update it cause i want to backup my system prior to do this.
Anyone got this and updated?? Let us know what was it for.
man, that font is horrible
I gotta check my phone to see if I have an update now

Read it carefully. What you got there is an updated EULA for updating LG's bundled apps. This is not a system update notification.
Just some apps update, it's like getting excited over getting updates in the playstore.

LG-V10 updates
I just purchased the LG-V10 phone yesterday and right out of the box had issues with the volume control on music, video, games & other media. It was locked and would not let me adjust the volume up or down. I took my phone back in to the T-Mobile retail store for an analysis of what was causing this problem. It was a simple update that had rolled out after the distribution of this phone. Best place to check for updates is under settings.....general....about phone....update center. There you can check for all app and software updates provided by LG Electronics. My phone is working fine now.

There has not been a system update for this phone since its release and the only firmware version available so far is H901-10c, build LMY47V, unless the update literally came out last night and has not yet propagated.
Your volume button problem was likely a software issue which was resolved when the rep did a factory reset on the phone, or a hardware issue, such as the contacts for the button flex not properly mating with the motherboard pegs, which can be resolved by pressing the back of the phone in a specific spot.
This thread title got me so excited for no reason. Someone should change it lol.

ATT S2 Software update r730aucu2bpd4

This morning I was presented with an update, now running software version r730aucu2bpd4
Anyone else see this? No information on ATT website or anywhere else on the web, except for a mention on a vietnam facebook webpage, that I cant read lol.
I didnt manage to catch a screenshot of the update popup, noting the changes.
Attached is a picture
My Gear communicates way better now with my Note 5 but I'm still unable to send messages from watch while using numbersync.

Thanks. I really hope they fix the number sync instability. . I am constantly getting "numbersync has been disabled" error and when I try to re-enable it I need to reboot my device. I also receive messages in bulk, days later often times.

What was your prior version? I currently have R730AUCU1AOL3, which appears to be earlier then yours. I wonder if I will get the update as well. Speak of the devil & he shows up. Downloading now.

Yes, prior to waking up this morning I was on AOL3. ATT website as of this morning still listed AOL3 as the latest. Seems to be working well so far, and walking in Manhattan today the "auto walking" feature of s-health started much smoother and quicker than previously. (for the first time the vibration notified me that it was automatically recoding "walking")

Mine froze at 99% and 100% for about 15 mins, I got nervous but let it sit there and it finally finished.
I'm loving the update very much so far, especially the screen timeout feature. Now Samsung just needs to activate Samsung Pay!

Can I downgrade from Marshmallow without rooting?

Hello...
Can I downgrade my G3 from Android 6 Marshmallow to Android 5 without having to root it?
I got the update but I really didn't like it. There are a lot of things missing.
Thank you
What specifically is missing?
As for your first question you can flash back to KitKat and then update to 5.. there is a thread for that.
Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA-Developers mobile app
To expand on the OP a little bit /Thread jack?/...
I'm having the strangest problem - The lower third of my screen acts like every swipe is just a touch. So when I try to scroll, it registers it as a click. I'm on Turbo ROM right now, but this problem has persisted across RR and AICP. Someone suggested that I go back to factory. Would it not be a good idea to just go back to LP?
I'm hesitant since I remember with my S3 going back to KK (I believe...) caused a brick since you couldn't return to the earlier bootloader. I may be remembering some of the details there wrong, but I'm still concerned about going back. Has anyone done this successfully?
Thanks in advance
Hi...I haven't done it yet, but I think I will...Marshmallow slowed my WiFi connection (have no idea why).
One very important thing is missing. The option to block a phone #.
The themes option and the live wallpapers are also missing.
I am also having battery issues, I have to charge earlier. The battery used to last longer with 5. Please notice that now I'm not even using a live wallpaper!
There are some positive things about 6 like the improved roll down menu/shortcuts. There is a flashlight and screen light regulation bar.
I'll try to downgrade to kit Kat and then to 5. I'll post what happens.
 @autosurgeon do you know where the thread for the downgrade to kk is? Could you post it for me please? I am new here and kind off having a hard time finding things! Thank b you so much!
Blocking a phone call is not missing. Wifi slow is usually the DNS server your provider uses I run an app called DNS pro it keeps me on Google DNS servers.
The themes are missing on the lg home launcher I don't use it so I don't care.. Nova is so far superior.
Battery discharge is caused by a an app misbehaving or because you didn't do a factory reset after the upgrade.

To block a call stock dialer.
In the dialer hit the three dots top right.
Hit call settings
Hit call reject
Use the plus sign in the top right to add numbers either from your recent calls list or manually.

Remember all your apps have to be setup as on push settings and when they can wake up the phone as after the upgrade many will update to the 6.0 version and some of those settings will change to default. Facebook did this as did Google now and both are battery hogs when in default. They wake the phone up 20 plus times per hour to phone home.
Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Awesome! I found the call reject! Thank you!
It's just a pain...you know...I'm getting old....I'm 38, female and I try my best to keep myself updated with technology, but I must say that I don't have patience anymore to get used to the new looks and features!
Please be patient with me...I have some more questions. Lol
So...if I do a hard reset now, what will I lose on the phone? Any apps? Contacts? Messages? Configurations? I am always afraid of hard resets. I had bad experiences with Samsung.
Running the apps on push settings....how do I do that?
And what is exactly NOVA? Why is it better? What can I do with it? Is it free?
I'll try the dns pro!
Thank you!
Nova is a launcher app. And yes it has a free non pro version you can try. Try it it's better if you like the features I do. It has a ton of features (;

Make sure you have at least one Google account setup on your phone and all things are set to backup. As for text messages if on att they have a backup app for that if not you can use a text messaging backup app from the play store and back them up on your micro SD card.

I [just] downgraded my wife's last night from MM (6.0) to Kit Kat 4.4.2...Marshamallow KILLED my wife's D850. Burning battery, dropped calls, re-boots even after factory reset. I did what was in post #3 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64624353&postcount=3 )
After downloading KK and .Dll it took a total of 10 minutes and was one of the easiest flashes I did. After flashing back to KK, I took the OTA to Lollipop. She called me today and we talked for 15 minutes with no dropped calls and NO over heating. my question is stay on 5.01 or go to 5.1.1? I will probably go to 5.1.1 now i know how easy i can do this again if it doesn't work out.

on the g2 phones, this would indicate a broken digitizer, and since the digitizer is fused with the screen, you need to replace your screen

I checked the online manual on sprint.com and it said that wifi calling might not be on the phone at launch.
I'll call Sprint tech support later today and see what they say.
I stupidly factory reset my phone, thinking something had gone wrong during initialization. Now I have to set up again, and still no Wi-Fi calling option.
Found these two guides on there website for those that need instruction.
Hopefully sprint can tell you why its missing?

Thanks for the info, I'm in a "chat" with Sprint now and the person I'm talking to didn't even know this much. Wonder what "soon" means in this context, like a few days, or several weeks...
