http://www.mobileburn.com/22752/news/lg-g2-android-44-kitkat-update-rolling-out-now-to-att...
UPDATE!!! The thread provided was edited by author because knock code was not in the update. It is a month old displaying the kk update we had on 2.23.13. All we can do is hope the newest update is released for our carrier(ATT)soon.
Has anyone gotten it yet? Im on cm11 so i cant know as of right now.

I know that but have you read the article? Its to do with knock code
Well this was expected sooner or later since F320L got update with Knock Code and Immersive mode. As it was when the kitkat update was rolling out, D800 first got it, then D801, and then D802 International version. Hope D802 get's it soon, because I don't want put any custom ROM to get Immersive mode

nope. went back to completely stock. after 3 or 4 factory resets and live chat with ATT i tried a last factory reset and checked it with data on not wifi. it showed the update so i connected to wifi, and i got it.
it seemed to only work without doing the gmail account and stuff. weird??
but on a different note, it hasnt been released yet. so ill be remaining stock for the update whuch should be happening very soon i hope....
LG France has revealed that there is update to be expected for D802 which fixes hissing sound in earplugs, however no information about knock code though.
Since my phone is damaged and touchscreen isn't functioning, Knock-Code isn't my interest anymore but wish you guys enjoy it.

All phones with KitKat already has support for Immersive Mode.

I think that he is talking about the LG implementation included in the Korean version which lets you choose to enable immersive mode in any app.
is anyone reading the article?
its stating that ATT is promising us more with performance and battery life. knock code is part of the update.please read the link in the op
If you believe what ATT promising things, especially "better battery", you will be very disappointed.

Yes as i posted above i have confirmed that there is no update as of yet. Hopefully it will be happening soon. Its okay cause i needed to return to atock unrooted. Actually enjoying it now with no issues that i was having previously
Good news but for Vodafone Spain and they already realease an update 20b and Knock Code works like a charm. No Bluetooth bug and no Hising noise! =)
Edit: if you root it knock code still works, but when you install the recovery with autorec knock code doesn't work properly. And also we lose the feature knock on.
Also when I flashed it via pc I couldn't do a hard.reset with the.combo buttons. So I did it.via settings.
Cheers

Why was the G2 the first to get Volte?
because that was the device they tested it on leading up to the launch. The G3 hadn't come out yet as they were testing.
It's also on the galaxy s5 so when did testing start?

Not sure, I just remember reading somewhere that they picked those two phones to start testing, and instead of re-writing everything for a newer phone, they just released what they had.
I went to the feature change page for my G3 and didn't see the feature there. Can anybody else here see the feature?

No one can because Verizon hasn't enabled it yet.
They just recently got the 4.4.4 update, so it would make sense as to why the S5 just barely got in and the G2 has been there for over a year.
I'm sure once we get the 4.4.4 update we will have VoLTE capability.

The waiting game.
VZW is in a "Network Freeze" this week, through the next. They are adding a ton of new things. VoLTE is just one of them. They are doing the G3 first because it was test. There is testing on the S5, and G3 as well now. It will be added in the G3 4.4.4 update.
So, is there now a G3 4.4.4 update in testing at VZW?

VoLTE has been rolled out. If you have a compatible phone (either an S5 for a G2) then you will be able to add the feature under the "add features" section on your "my account" page. It also comes with free basic visual voicemail. Once you do that, you should have the "volte" feature box enabled in your "mobile data" settings on your phone. I tested this last night with a buddy who has a G2 and video calls/HD voice calls were sweet. the volte calls were crystal clear.
The VLG G3 came with basic visual voicemail, but I didn't much like it. I guess no VoLTE yet, anyway ?
I will enable it on my wife's G2.

Still haven't seen anything hit the test teams desk.
It's pretty annoying actually. You think you buy the latest and greatest only to find out you didn't. I'm thinking more and more everyday I should have gotten the S5 instead.
My only hope is that the boot loader gets cracked. I don't believe the Samsung bootloaders will ever be unlocked again....but at least some have safestrap.

So basically from what you are saying, is that for once it is no Verizon's fault, but LG's fault for not releasing an update for us.
Figures, LG still hasn't learned. Bummer is they already released like 3 or so performance updates for the Euro G3, but nothing for the US yet. Dam slackers.
From a few threads I've came across, the Euro updates help with performance and the phone seems a bit more smooth now.

Don't be too negative just yet. Maybe they're working on going straight to Android L? Who knows, certainly not us...
I am not at all sure I want to be required to install new Android L sometime next Spring as the only option for correcting some of the problems and performance issues with the v10b version Verizon shipped on this device.
Aren't some of the non-Verizon versions of the G3 already on 10I or better ?
I would like one update before an initial L release for a better Kit Kat.
Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk
LG should at least fix their bugs in KK before they release L.
Some people may prefer to stay on KK and not update to L, so they deserve at least a stable version of KK with good performance.
So any new news on this?
I'm due for an upgrade and I like the lg g3 because of the screen size and smallish body. And also its rootbale. But if you could upgrade right now would you choose the g3 again or maybe the droid turbo or note 4 or nexus 6? I have a rooted note 2 right now and love the screen size and the stuff I can customize on it. I hear good things about the g3 other than battery doesn't last to long. What are your thoughts?
Well MY LG G3 has a fantastic battery and I am not rooted...I compare it to the Droid RAZR MAXX with a 3300 ma/h it's replacing. I have had the G3 for 8 days. That said...I do not stream video or play tunes. Yesterday, when I had 44 minutes of screen time and the phone off charge for 10 hours I was at 84%. I am good with that!
There is nothing wrong EXCEPT the bottom microphone. It is positioned on the bottom left when you face the phone and better positioned for those that hold the phone to their Right ear not the left. Regardless it still does not have the best pickup when compared to even much older phones. I am unsure if it's a software or hardware issue. I think hardware as I exchanged my first G3 after 5 days for this reason. The replacement is no better. Lots written on the internet about this problem. For me, as a right ear talker, holding the phone lower so the palm 'cups' allows my voice to rebound into the mic.
Other than the above it is a kick butt phone. The camera is excellent as in no LAG. Many users key on megapixels. I key on LAG the Turbo is bad laggy!
The major customization I use is Nova Launcher Prime. You must install Nova Launcher first: NOVA Launcher. I believe this reduces any UI phone lag people talk about. My G3 is smooth and fast! You do lose the knock-knock off on the screen but by double tapping the status bar the phone shuts off and by using Nova Prime and it's gestures and the Screen off app Screen Off you have the same function.
I went to two different Verizon stores and talked to more than 4 agents as I upgraded then exchanged. Everyone said that the G3 was best of its size and class. For me that was Turbo, Droid MAXX, Galaxy S5 and Xperia Zv3
Verizon gives you a 14 day $35 exchange period.
Wouldn't even have to think about it. The Droid Turbo, and Note 4 have locked bootloaders, that will probably never be unlocked, and the Nexus 6, doesn't have a memory card slot, or a removable battery. LG G3, FTW! BTW, I find battery life to be perfectly acceptable, with this phone. It lasts me all day.
As long as it can last from 630am to maybe 11pm with about 3.5 hours screen time I'd be happy. I really would love to have a phone that can be rooted still but I've never had an android phone that wasn't rooted so I don't k know if it would bother me or not

It would bother the crap out of me. I suppose, once they start locking down all phones, for good, I'll have to switch to a Nexus. That is, if Verizon continues to carry Nexus devices. Can't give up my unlimited data.

Yup. It can be done with stump root and flashify to load your recovery. 2 apps - 10minutes - rooted and bootloader unlocked. You'll be really happy with a G3

Yes, you can use Flashify, instead of ADB commands. Also, be aware, if your phone comes with the 11C build, you'll have to roll it back to the 10B build, beforehand.

yes, if you are on 10b. since they will activate and do all the crap you may have the updated 11c. no worries. just flash back to 10b and stump and bump and install the rom of your choice or just stick with stock and freeze apps. I'm currently running jasmine3.0 which is the 11c updated onto the stock rom with all vzw apps frozen. I like this phone so much I wish I could buy a backup incase I lose or drop it cause I'm sure I'll be happy with it for the next 2 or 3 years. I'm afraid they might come blocked with a newer updated firmaware where we can't stump and especially bump it.

How do you go back to 10b?
To get back to v10b, you read threads here on XDA until you understand one of the clearly explained methods and use that. .kdz or .tot flashing is what you are looking for. Kdz is easier.

If it's a stock based Rom I can't see why it wouldn't work, same goes for an AOSP Rom, as always make a Nandroid backup in TWRP before flashing just in case it doesn't work

I went to WETA for customization and the aroma installer had a bunch of stuff I could choose from, rooting in general it's just something I've been doing since my first Android phone, I'm amazed at what I can do with basically complete control, as I say to my friends that don't know what root is, if I want to do something I more than likely can, music didn't sound good enough to me so I installed viper4android music sounds amazing and I couldn't go back to stock, I wanted my battery to last longer so I installed greenify to force doze when I turn my screen off so I can get iPhone levels of standby drain, also it's just something fun to do there's always new stuff going on, Xposed just got released officially a few days ago and I honestly can't wait to see what comes of it.

Yeah i had started with the VS995 Verizon variant when I first went to the V20.. but after we switched to MetroPCS (via TMobile service).. I noticed that without all of the GSM bands.. my connection was HORRIBLE.. plus I did not have the WIFI calling / SMS features... so I switched to the H918 variant... SO Glad I did.. love the knowledge I could unlock my bootloader.. and it seems to have some of the default features that Verizon had locked out... IE FM Radio.. etc..
right now i'm on the 10q software.. so not sure if i'm locked out of anything or if thats still able to root / unlock and flash safely.

He's asking for a way to enable hotspot on the phone without the carrier giving permission/charging more money for using your mobile data as you please.
All custom ROMs have that feature enabled.
I'm going to go with no on this one. If it was found to work the carrier would shut it down in a heartbeat.

Hello,
In short.. Hotspot works with no root.
Please read through the post below starting at post # 16..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g6/help/activated-sprint-ls993-mind-testing-t3598048/page2
This method worked for my LG-G5,G6 and V30+.. Keep in mind read your carries trems and conditions.. doing this hotspot hack can in some cases get you booted out of your contract .
Also i ,we, them are not responsible for any side effect , problems this method might,might not cause you or your device,
I haven't had the need in a couple years but I use to use pdanet to hide my teher usage on tmobile. Doesn't work for with tether but worked like a charm in USB mode (never tried bluetooth)
Edit: I think its free to try and the key was a couple of bucks years ago
Edit 2: and yes it works (or did last I needed it) without root

On Moto Quark with custom ROMs, I'm pretty sure T-Mobile customers have hot spot. I haven't heard any complaints.
I know I have it on AT&T. I also KNOW the custom ROM hotspot works on Verizon unlimited because many, many people have commented on it.
Quark (Droid Turbo XT1254, U.S. Moto Maxx XT1250, Moto Turbo XT1225, Moto Maxx XT1225) was the "reasonable" sized Moto Nexus 6 (Shamu). Not official NEXUS but same manufacturer, 90% same specs, bigger battery.
This is from June 2017. He's using T-mobile Hot Spot on two different ROMs and saying one is FASTER than the other. But they both work.

@bhb27 so I did run the same download from same location using 2 separate phone. Phone A is droid turbo with RR and phone B is Droid turbo with CF stock (custom ROM). Downloading same app on tablet first with using phone A hotspot took 6 minutes to download. Switched to phone B hotspot and it took 30 seconds to download. Switched back to phone A hotspot and again, 6 minutes download. Went back to phone B and again 30 seconds. Went to download mumble .exe file from website and same results. There is clearly something with RR. I am going to try clean install with latest update.
Did clean install on the phone. Latest rev, latest kernel, latest gapps. Still ridiculously slow hotspot speed when using this phone.
Just as added info. Mind you both phones are operating exactly the same only difference is ROM. I am using droid turbo on T-Mobile network. But I set up APN and everything so it works and other phone is setup exactly same except CF made a T-Mobile variant whatever that is. Could whatever he did be making the hotspot work better using the T-Mobile line than RR? Time to go and install everything again

It's awesome if people are able to use unlimited hotspot again.

He's asking for a way to enable hotspot on the phone without the carrier giving permission/charging more money for using your mobile data as you please.
All custom ROMs have that feature enabled.

Most carriers include hotspot in the US. They just limit it because people abuse it if they don't.
PDA.net does work fine, but you can't use the wifi option - Nougat killed it and they said they wouldn't be working to update it. You're stuck using USB tethering which is fine if you only want to use it for a laptop or something. But otherwise, you're kind of stuck, waiting for a ROM to come out.
