Verizon LG G3 update

The LG G3 Android Marshmallow update is now rolling out North America. A reddit user uploaded a screenshot that confirms Verizon has started to make the update available to its customers, bringing the device to software version VS98546A.

The download comes in at 788.6 MB and you should be notified when it becomes available. If you're eager, you can head to Settings > About phone > Update center > Software update and hit Check now for update to see if it's ready. Before installing the new version, make sure your device has at least 50 percent charge.

There is no word from the other carriers just yet, but their updates can't be far behind.

The last update to arrive for AT&T customers took the device up to Android 5.0.1 Lollipop and was primarily issued to address the stagefright security flaw.

    I have a G3 D850 Gold. It is an unlocked international version. It's still on 4.4.2; after contacting LG I'm still not sure if I'll ever see a newer version of Android. I've gone under settings to try to start the OTA (FOTA) but it says nothing is available. Anyone have any guesses?

    So since the update my first phone failed completely and they had to send me a new phone and now it is very hard to even use the phone or even answer a call being as though I can't always turn the phone on. The lock screen won't even open up it just stays black while I try different combinations of pushing the power button and tapping on the screen until finally in some cases an hour later the screen will turn on again. I can't make calls or answer them while the screen won't turn on and I am disabled as well as I have a almost 5 month old baby! What if I needed to call 911? My phone is now useless! 😡

    Since I updated my LG G3 I can no longer send pictures via Hangouts to users not on Hangouts SMS - I had to reactivate the stock messaging app - now I have to use hangouts for people on hangouts and the stock messaging app for all others - pretty annoying.

    Looks like others are having the same issue I'm having. Since the marshmallow update I cannot successfully connect via USB to my computer. It's not charging my phone, nor am I able to transfer music, photos, etc. HELP!!!
    I'm also getting this stupid message about "Allow this computer to access your phone data?" EVERY time I plug it in OR when I choose a USB connection to connect to the internet (even if I haven't unplugged it and have previously answered this question!).
    This update is horrible!

      Gyrome Tarantoilet Feb 29, 2016 Link to comment

      Ok, I can answer my own question, and hopefully others can make use of it. When you connect via USB, you will see a USB symbol in the notification area at the top of the phone. Open up that notification and it will bring you to a second dialog/screen which lets you choose whether to sue USB for power charging only, for transferring files, or for using it as a MIDI. Once you choose file transfer option then the phone is accessible to the computer you are hooking it up to.

    My phone has been essentially useless to me ever since the stupid update 6 days ago. I can't connect to my Garmin, I'm constantly disconnected from Wi-Fi service, my clock is 5 hours off and randomly switches between the correct time and 5 hours in the future, which incidentally really throws off the way you read your text. It will randomly just scroll me back to the top of any website so I constantly scroll and get nowhere. I've shut it off taking the battery out restarted it try to reconnect with Bluetooth devices and everything and nothing has worked.

        You will have to wait, they are talking about Verizon Wireless Updates, straight talk using byo phone att, doesn't have 6.0 marshmallow yet and I think that I see why... Because of all the issues with the marshmallow version for lg g3 seems to buggy so far. ( I am guessing that att and other various phone companies are. Getting the bugs worked out before they release it.

    Had to do a factory reset. Update messed my phone up so bad I could hardly use it or anything on it. What a lousy update. In today's technologically advanced world this is your best? An update with so many bugs it would frighten an exterminator? Won't be getting another Lg.

    Got the update, phones now super slow and laggy. 3D games are brutally leggy and most games just quit. But the most frustrating is how my battery life went from 12 hours with normal use, down to 6 hours barely using it at all. I was almost late for work when my 85% battery died within my 7 hour sleep.

    Most apps on my lg g3 are failing, post system update last night. Once the app opens, when I upon clicking into content in the app, it will close.
    This is critical trouble. I can't do very much with the phone now. Hoping that others see this too so that the developers with fix bugs quickly. Or advise if I need to find a workaround.


    Also several of my Google related app shortcuts don't redirect and the apps icons we're swapped out with the generic green android icon after the system update.

      My phone had a complete factory reset at Verizon store, 5 hours later, it still is glitchy and won't connect to the internet.....even at the Verizon store! They called tech support for me and spent most of the day trying to fix it with the support....NO HELP! Verizon turfed the call to LG ....even that was pointless! I loved my phone before this update, now it's horrible! My Upgrade isn't until July! I told Verizon if I blow through my Data they can eat that bill since its the only way I can use my phone! Hope they fix this problem soon!

    My T-Mobile LG G3 updated to 5.0.1 and it's a disaster. The worst problem is that it crashes and then robo-calls the last person in my call list at around 5AM - this happens a few times a week. It will call them repeatedly until I wake up and reboot the phone. Since this is a business line, you can imagine how nice it is to have your phone call a customer 12 times in a row at 5AM. It does this even after factory resets - and with no 3rd party apps installed. I finally installed a "call confirm" app to block the outgoing calls. This does stop the calls, but the app does not work properly either on the new OS - and it will not let me call out at all - even when I confirm the call dialog. I have to disable the app to make a call. And then remember to reenable it so it blocks those early morning robocalls. I can not believe that T-Mobile has not yet made a fix available.

      I've had my G3 since it came out mid 2014! I have only had a few issues with mine. From my experience here's a few things to keep in mind when your phone acts strange.
      ---1***The main problems seemed to happen after I installed an App from Play Store that was either very new or not that many reviews (and some reviews are made by the app developer's friends) or when I installed 3rd party apps from Amazon or Slide Me..after I uninstalled apps that I wasn't 100% sure was on the up and up, and RESTART/REBOOT phone and it took care of some issues...or after surfing the web let's say Wal-Mart.com and from inside that site clicked on a link for discount computers (which u shouldn't do! U should leave the site or page ur on and do a new search cuz if that link inside Wal-Mart site is malicious u don't have any warning)...
      As far as battery issues, I literally use my phone like a work, school, gaming and surfing computer because I don't have a computer, I force stop running apps like Facebook and messenger a couple times a day, I have NO weather apps (cuz they run ALL THE TIME) and I keep my screen brightness at 35% with screen timeout at 30sec. and I might have to charge my phone in the middle of the day but that's it unless I've been playing Asphalt 8 for a long time cuz that game eats battery!!!
      ---2*** I have came across a few people and read about A LOT that bought an LG G3 that turned out to be a clone (a fake) or the phone was good but had a clone battery and they look SO SIMILAR to the REAL G3 or battery. The knock off batteries seem to cause tons of trouble with the G3 so u can go on YouTube and there's a couple videos that show how to spot these fake phones and batteries! Hope it gets better for ya.

    after upgrade to lollipop 5.0 the phone drain battery in less than 3 hours, crappy sound when playing audio and takes for ever to charge the battery. No more lg phones for me because it takes for ever before an update to fix these problems is released. Had my phone on service twice for these problems but the problems continues

    This is actually really taking so long. I hope that by the end of the year, the latest Lollipop update for LG G3 will be available. The mobile device is really one great option for mobile users, except for the occasional lags due to the bugs. The LG G3 price is also quite above average as well, so LG could really do some great after sales service here. Browse more about the LG G3 via Price Panda

    For the last couple of weeks, It's been a nightmare.
    The phone is just keep restarting. It began at 2-3 times a day, to never stop restarting the moment I plug it out of the wall.
    I would love to know if it can be solved by buying a new battery (cause It isn't swollen, actually the battery looks perfect.)
    I'm after two hard resets to no avail (the problem went worse after the first hard reset.)
    Is is the lollipop or my battery?
    Thanks!

        Not for my VZW. Cell service would stay dead even after today's Snapshot. No amount of flashing or airplane mode or reboot would fix it. Paranoid Android did the same thing. Had to do back to stock.

        I rooted then S-Off'd my LG G3. Installed 3.4.0-SkyDragon-G3-V4.0.1-gbbcac18lge@android-build AKA Sky Dragon, because Verizon decided that even if you click "no do not install update 5.0" is still installed it. Don't force me to install an unstable unfinished Kernel on my device that I bought. It's perfect now, battery time is about 10 hours with abt 12-5+min phone calls and 2hrs surfing the web and about 1~1.5hrs of youtube videos.

    I have a Note 4, currently on KK 4.4.4. It is on UK O2. It will stay on 4.4.4 until Google EVENTUALLY gets it's butt out of the chair and sort out their OS. They are working on M- they haven't even got L working properly yet.
    This is the downside of Android- the time taken to do any updates. Plus all the crapware put into the OS. Plus all the crapware every carrier wants to install "for the perfect user experience".
    I DON'T WANT IT. If some people do, let them download it.
    This is why people are going to Crapple. One OS, with annual updates that everyone gets at nigh on same day it is launched. Windows phone is nearly the same.
    I have had one iphone, the iphone 4- and was bored with it less than a fortnight after getting it out of the box.
    And don't particularly want another.
    When I bought the Note 4, it was a toss up between the LG G3 and Note. Note won.
    Sucked off with Android at the mo. I may put Note 4 back into it's box and go back to my S3- rooted with KK 4.4.4 with Nova launcher. Then the world and dog can just sail serenely by, over my head, and sail into the storm that will be M, N or whatever.

    The BIGGEST gripe would be the change in "Quiet Mode". I did the update on my Galaxy S5 and lost the ability to set up the Do Not Disturb mode as I was previously used to. The whole "silent mode" that 5.0 comes with is HORRIBLE and I will NEVER upgrade my LG G3. That is one of the most important features to me and I will forever stop the update. It gets annoying but I just DON'T want this update. Thanks for everyone sharing because the update was a disaster for my S5 and I figured that it would be just as horrible for the LG phone. Until I'm FORCED to do it. . my phone will remain on 4.4.

    SCREW LG - I WILL NEVER BUY A PIECE OF THEIR CRAP AGAIN. They like to say LG = "Life's Good" - however, Life is only good for people sitting at LG Electronics USA - because they sit on their hands powerless to do ANYTHING that even resembles customer service. Yeah, I bought a brand new LG G3 phone on 5/22/15 - opened it, it updated itself to lollipop, and ceased connecting to anything since. I went back to Sprint, they said hundreds of people have come in with same issue. Had to send it back to LG - which is ridiculous. Brand new phone will be 3 weeks before I get it back, and when I ask them why this takes so long when they know this is an issue with tons of people, their typical response feels like a basic "To hell with the customer - Life's good for us!" which is most likely the motto in the break room at ‪#‎LGelectronics‬. Ask for a supervisor, and if you're lucky enough to find one around, he is just as powerless, useless, and has a "could care less for customers" attitude. I will NEVER buy another LG product after this. While their product may be nifty and nice - let it give you a moment's problem and you'll find how absolutely horrible and below standard their company's customer service is. All they have is a "this is our policy - so suck on that" response. LG has the worst customer service I have EVER had to deal with. LG SUCKS!

    I have a G2 and G3. I had to revert to KitKat because the Lollipop 🍭 update is horrible on both my phones. I'm getting terrible battery drain and they take a long time to charge. WiFi is unstable, the G2 gets hot, random reboots, among other things. Overall, it's just a mess! I'll wait for the next update.

      I had problems with the lollipop update but they are all gone except for WiFi issues. I did a factory reset and updated all apps and now the battery life is as good maybe even better than it was on KitKat.. 30+ hrs of moderate use (3+ hrs screen on)
      Because of the Wi-Fi issues (lag or just complete fail) I went back to my S4 (KitKat) so I could get notifications on WiFi, but the weird thing is that after transferring my sim card to the S4 my G3 now works perfect on Wi-Fi.. no lag and instant notifications! I will wait and see if the 5.1 update comes soon, but I may pressure Verizon to replace my G3 with the new G4 since it comes with 5.1 ;-)
      I already got them to give me a $10/month discount so I could go to the next data plan since I was using more data because they f'd the Wi-Fi

    I'm ok with the google tabs in the recent apps though the over lapping on it is a little annoying and would be better as a setting to choose scroll or grid would be good i can live with it. And the sound profiles and such, and I love the notifications on the lock screen. but I'm so upset with the other things. The home buttons? Why was a simple preference setting changed in a mass update? Trying to accomplish anything during a phone call is for gone. And I hate having the clear notifications on the bottom, as well as them overlapping and on a transparent screen rather then a full black out coming down. I also much perfered the music a part of the lock screen with the name scrolling rather then it being basically the widget on the lock screen. And the Quiet Mode was a huge saver for me and its gone, I relied heavily on it and was an amazing addition to the phone. Yes these may be nit pick things but I loved the phone as it was and with these things gone it's very frustrating.

    1. Picasa uploaded is no more available.
    2. Cant open other application during a phone call, the phone becomes very slow to use.
    3. Secure Memo is disabled, all the secured Memo items got unsecured now. the QuickMemo+ does not have a secure password configured.
    4. The Camera shutter sound cant be disabled.
    5. Touch sensitivity is also not that good.
    6. The phone is getting heated up fast and making the applications slower.

    OK, its official, I just spoke to LG who have confirmed that the Lollipop upgrade has numerous issues. Google is working on it but cannot say when they will fix/stabilise the build and provide a release. If, like me, you have upgraded your G3 to Lollipop then the only way to revert to Kitkat is to send your phone into an LG repair centre. On one level we have to feel sorry for the phone manufacturers who have been given a bad release but they really should have made sure their devices worked on the upgrade before they offered it to users. So don't waste your life trying to fix the bugs, either get back to 4.4 or wait until Google release a stable platform.

    My G3 upgraded to Lollipop last week and everything seems to e working well. The one thing I've seen so far tht I don't like is that the soft button symbols don't make sense like the originals did. The old "U" turn, house, and window layerd on another window make a lot more sense and are more relevant than the new triangle, circle, and square.

    It seems that I have the same doubt about getting new updates in the future. I hope so!
    One question to everyone: is there someone also getting problem while listening to music? My device stops playing music every time I shut the screen off. I tried to install another player (PlayerPro) and it didn't help

    Update: I had to do a clean reinstall with the newest version D85520D and everything's fine now.

        Hi Steven,

        Where can I get the 20C firmware?

        I will appreciate your help on this matter.

        For a permanent method for the LTE 'missing' problem, using a file explorer like ES, go to system/app/ and find LTEConfig.apk, install it as a normal app...

    I've got 3 issues to comment with this rom:
    1. Google play services drains my battery and I don't know if its normal
    2. Sometimes the mobile gets crashed and all the system.ui restarts
    3. Will I recieve the official update (OTA) when it rolls out?
    If someone can answer the question or solve my problems I'd be very grateful

      There is a newer version of the FW. Try downloading the D85520D and do a CSE update and everything's gonna be way better. With the version of this post I had problem with playing MP3's. After shutting the screen off, after 30 seconds the music stops and the battery drain was a pain in the ass. For now with the newest FW I have no complains.

    Didn't work for me. Kept getting errors installing updates when I plugged in my phone in download mode and then when I went for the update for lollipop it would get to the upgrading your phone portion and say error occured unplug ur phone and battery etc. Tried that....disconnected internet like suggested no go. ...Ugh I give up

    I am in Poland, so have been using official firmware..so far so good, battery is good and no problems for me..To me lollipop is nothing special besides the Material UI..Only problem i see is options for ROOT..i will go back to 4.4.2 because i prefer root.

    I see everyone posting about version D. Mine shows VS985. WHY IS IT SO DIFFRENT THEN THE OtheR VARIANTS? IS IT BE CAUSE Of VERIZON? IS THE VS985 ACTUALLY SOMETHING ELSE? I'm fairly new to Android so if anyone can help elaborate I appreciate it!!


    • Angus P. 10
      Angus P. Nov 27, 2014 Link to comment

      yes there are different variants of each phone, not only with the G3, but also different models or manufacturers..examples are European/International, Korean, and US Carriers namely; AT&T, Sprint, Verizon. Each of these variants carry a different number.
      Be warned that if you update with the wrong variant firmware, you can brick your phone or run into problems..

    Downloaded and installed on my g3.this version is just for beta tester strictly not for everyday use. I found it very buggy almost all the apps get crashes so its batter to wait for the final official release.

    I have downloaded and installed everything on my computer per the directions. Then put my phone into download mode and connected to computer. Hit the start on the flash, select language.. then the LG tool takes over and says my phone is not connected to my computer?? But when I open up the "My computer" file the phone shows that its connected and allows me to move files from computer to phone or vice versa. So why wont the LG tool see that the phone is connected? I can't seem to get past this step.. please help..

      Sounds like you didn't put your phone in "download" mode? Did you do that?

    I also installed 5.0 and its good update. Phone is a lot faster, there are interesting animation.
    I also wonder, will this version, that we installed, receive regular updates once when they arrive?
    There are some app crashes but nothing serious.
    Main problem is huge battery drain when WiFi is on. Also LG Health is using a lot of battery. Before, that app didnt use any battery not now thats app that use the most of battery.

    Cannot wait until VERIZON releases the lollipop 🍭 update for the LG G3 VS985. The material design, recent apps, and card style is very cool.

        I got that message too, but I just didnt close the window or something, just leaved it open in the background. My G3 continued doing the upgrade anyways.
        After some time it disappeared automatically and it said its done. So if your G3 keeps upgrading and doesnt get stuck on that or something I think you can ignore this message (you downloaded the firmware before anyways, so a internet connection wont be that important, as Nikolaj already said it works with internet turned off too)
