    I cant see developer options on my phone ,where exactly is it?

    EDIT : quick google and i found how to get it,mine is running Dalvik already.

    It might be worth changing to ART to see if it helps, how often is your device shutting itself down?

    Let me know how it goes for you, some people claim that makes the device run quicker also, but didn't work for me.

    It is slight OT - just after upgrading to Android 5 , few new features but nothing major, will see how good the battery life will be

    Was this an OTA update or did you flash it yourself. Waiting for the OTA myself. Hopefully it'll arrive soon.

    So is anyone still experiencing shutdowns after the update?

    is it safe to buy one now?

    If you're not in a desperate rush it might be better to wait for the G4 which is rumoured to be launching at the mobile world Congress in early March.

    Have to say, I'm lovin' this phone. For such a large screen it never feels like a huge phone. Since updating to Lollipop it's a lot zippier and the battery life is still pretty good. With heavy use I'll get a day out of it. I like the way LG have integrated Android 5 features in to it and their own skin doesn't intrude too much unlike the likes of Touchwiz which is just plain ugly and annoying. The camera without the flash is fairly quick and I get some excellent results. With the flash it can take a bit longer than I'd like but the results are pretty good. Would definitely recommend it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 965 ✭✭✭Mourinho


    Are there any major issues with this lads? I'm shopping around for a possible replacement for my 1+ due to signal issues.

    How's battery and camera especially?

    Connect your phone to your laptop and update using the LG Support Tool.
    I have another problem I hope people can help me with. I got the 32GB 3GB RAM sim free version and there is no option for 4G in the network mode settings. I know I can download an app from the app store (have done and 4G appears but goes if you have to turn off the phone for any reason). I updated today to 5.0 but still no 4G option :mad:. Its not my sim as it is working perfectly in my old Xperia Z1 and 4G coverage is fine as wife has it on her iPhone 5. I'm stumped as there is no reason not to have the 4G option on an unlocked phone. Currently running software version V20e-EUR-XX, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Strange enough i don't see LTE/CDMA in my menu as described here : http://support.sprint.com/support/tutorial/Turn_4G_on_or_off_LG_G3/52753-665
    or

    But i don't have 4G sim either

    Just noticed the app I had to turn on the 4G won't work with 5.0 so I now cannot get 4G at all and the only solution online, seemed to be the app. I've emailed LG today to see what they are willing to do seeing as they are selling the phone as 4G and it's not (I understand technically it is but it should work straight away without any apps, etc...)

    Any thoughts on how I can force 4G anyone?

    Exact same here since the update. You find any solution? Any word back from your email to LG?

    Gaaa, just having this exact same issue regarding the 4G now. OTA update to lollipop there last night and when I try to enable 4G via *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone Information I see the following:

    This application does not work on this device.

    So its not possible to enable 4G. If anyone figures it out, post a solution.
    Time to start Googling.
