Considering most of us here bought at or close to launch, and without any network carrier guarantee, this does not look good. Basically if your phone was made before September (earlier serial than 509.....) then there's a very good chance it's going to suddenly and unrecoverably die pretty soon.

People who haven't rooted will be fine as failing hardware warrents a replacement device.

Would you not be covered under a European warranty?

recyclebin · 07-12-2015 6:54pm

anyone know the cheapest website to buy the LG G4 these days? Maybe some UK ones? Amazon? I saw it for around 420 on bizrusonline.ie but reviews for that sites service are very mixed indeed.

I got it from the ebay seller mentioned earlier in the thread but just checked & see the price has jumped from €399 to €469 since early Oct.

Marshmallow arrived via LG Bridge last week, not exactly a huge change but like the almost straight battery usage graph overnight courtesy of that Doze feature I guess.

I got 6.0 by following instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/stock-h815-20b-images-flashables-kdz-t3257544

Basically like flashing, but very simple to do. Biggest pain is downloading the 1.6gb file.

But...Don't do it. I haven't done a factory reset yet (too busy this week) but battery life is down, auto brightness now acts differently, "now on tap" is more of a nuisance since I cant swipe up for Google Now...

Got mine from
https://www.eglobalcentral.eu/mobiles-and-tablets/mobile-phones/brands/lg/

€398 seems to be the best they have but keep an eye as their prices change based on the value of the euro.

Got mine from here too. Note that it only came with the leather back, box was un-sealed and no earphones. Seems to be brand new though.

Bought in November and manufacture date on the box is 506.

I emailed to ask LG why Android M hadn't come to my phone yet. I'm pleasantly surprised that they actually answered with a decent response and quickly too.

Dear Choons,

Thank you for your email and for your interest in Andriod M.

I am afraid that as of yet we have no definite time table for the roll out of this update. We currently have trials running in some areas of Europe and our technicians are monitoring how well the update performs and whether it causes any issues for our customers, LG will only move to more widespread update when we are completely happy with the performance.

I hope this has helped, however, if you have any questions or require further assistance you can reply to this email by clicking the additional questions link above the survey.

I would really appreciate it if you could spare a moment to let us have your feedback, Choons. Please help us to improve our customer service by taking a few seconds to complete the short survey at the bottom of this email.

Thank you in advance and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

Kind regards

It would be cool they said 'OK its not out cos we're still testing but if you wanna join the beta just say so' I mean, I get they want to make sure most people are happy but most of us here are way beyond average Joe in Android related things and would love to be part of those testers doing the 'soak test' for them.

I have no evidence that Doze is working at all.

Now on tap is far less useful than I had hoped. It's interesting, I just wish they didnt have to take away the functionality of swiping up for google now to bring Tap in.

Awesome, didn't know this! NOT is now off. I'd also have swipe up but whatever, I can handle this.

The only thing I noticed that might be doze related was last night. About 6am I wake up and check my phone, for a second it says 4am, then updates to 6am (quick circle case). I've never noticed such a lag.

Though if doze is working, it's doing a **** job as my battery life is far down IMO.

I was in Germany when M arrived via LG Bridge so maybe that was the reason it showed up for me

This is what I see with the overnight battery use...

Must have a play with that Now on Tap feature to see what it does. Tbh Android M isn't going to change you life
