My G3 lost 47% battery overnight to mostly Phone Idle and Android OS.
How can I fix that? On Sprint & still running the ZV4 update on Android 4.4.2 which I don't think is the latest...
Does ZV6 fix that?
Help!
Thanks...
Are you rooted?
If your leaving your phone on overnight, you could turn off data (3G, LTE) and put your phone on airplane mode or if you need the connectivity, just turn on wifi and turn off data.
Make sure you have no apps that are set to give you push notifications (such as facebook giving you updates when someone likes your status/photos,etc.)
You are not running the latest LG software (ZV6). I recommend updating and rooting or just updating if you're not a root user. Updates generally give you improvement in all aspects. If you don't like it, sure you can always go back.
Was this just a one-time occurrence? If so, my suggestion would be just reboot the thing and see what happens. Sounds like some app or process was running out of control, which can happen on rare occasions. A reboot should fix it. If it happens all the time, even after a reboot, then we need to do some more in-depth troubleshooting.

You can't "update and root." ZV6 is, currently, not rootable. If you want to be rooted, root while on ZV4, install TWRP, then flash the ZV6 ROMs found here on XDA.

I followed this thread to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207
I think I used the Root66 stock VRALJB I don't remember. My phone model number says SCH-I605, the Android version is 4.1.1, Baseband is I605VRALL4, Build number is JRO03C.I605VRALJB. I don't know if the kernel number is necessary because it's really long to type out, but if you need it I will post it.
Then I unlocked the Bootloader using AdamOutler's thread and now I have a custom TW recovery thing.
When I try to do the update in the Settings, it reboots to the TW recovery and doesn't do anything. When I select to turn on the phone with the TW recovery, it says the update failed. Someone told me that I shouldn't do that update because it's something called OTA and it's bad for my rooted phone, but then how do I know when I need an update? Do I have to check this forum every day for announcements? Which thread will the updates be in?
Thank you
The update option in settings is for Verizon OTA updates. OTA stands for over-the-air. The updates are sent to your phone using the Verizon data network. After the update is loaded onto your phone, it reboots into stock recovery to install the update. Since you have a custom recovery, (TWRP, I believe), the update will always fail. I see that you have the latest baseband, which is really the only reason for taking the OTA update to begin with.
Now that you have a custom recovery, you can flash any of the wonderful 4.1 ROMs that we have at our disposal. I'm currently on Jedi X11 and I recommend that, but there are more to choose from. One word of caution: if you decide to flash a 4.2 ROM, then you can't go back to a 4.1 ROM unless you flash the sd card downgrade .zip file. This is because 4.2 will change your directories around. I will try to link to a thread with the downgrade zip in it on another post.

I haven't installed a ROM because I want to keep all the stock stuff, but if there is a ROM that keeps all the stock but somehow increases speed, then I'd install it but I don't know of any that don't not have some stock stuff removed.
The annoying thing is that the phone keeps telling me to update every 3 days and I don't like it. Is there a way I can stop this without doing anything bad to the phone?
While it's true that all ROMs are not 100% stock, you have to ask yourself what you really want to keep. The ROM I'm running is Touchwiz-based, which means it has all the S-Pen apps along with true multi-window functionality. The stuff that I left coming from pure stock was mostly bloatware.
Either way, if staying on pure stock is all that you want and you want to stop receiving the OTA update notices, then you need to use an app that can freeze other apps. Freezing means that the app is disabled, will no longer appear in your app drawer, and will not start up when you boot the phone. I use Titanium Backup to freeze apps. I recommend freezing apps over outright deleting them because you may inadvertently soft brick your phone that way.
Once you have Titanium Backup or another app with the same functionality, then you need to find and freeze SDM 1.0. It was mentioned in this post here:

I will add that I am not sure why you would unlock your bootloader if you didn't intend to flash any ROMs. The act of unlocking the bootloader is what took away your stock recovery and causes your OTA updates to fail when the installation process starts. You may want to research how to get your phone back to 100% stock if you want to be able to take updates in the future.
Hi all,
I've got a VZW S4 and I've yet to take any OTA's or updates. I rooted it within the first week it was released and have postponed the OTA's every day since. I really don't think I use my root for very much so I'm not completely against losing it, but the questions still stand: Should I bother to take the OTA and risk losing root? Is there -any- benefit to me still being on the pre-release kernel of the S4? Any developers need anything from my phone before I make this decision?
Thanks,
Opethfan89
If you're still on MDK there is no benefit of updating, you'll only lose your ability to flash ROMs. If you're on ME7 you'll lose safestrap. If you're on MI1... well then it's your call.

I believe I'm on MDK still -- whatever the pre-release kernel was that everyone used right when the phone came out to root stuff (Loki seems to ring a bell).
I haven't used any custom ROMs, but if my current configuration allows me to then I would definitely like to retain that ability. I know I tried an AOSP ROM once and it was horrible, so I switched back to stock and I haven't gone back since.
Perhaps I should spend a weekend tinkering around...
I have a similar question. I'm on ME7 Rooted and some bloatware frozen. The only things I use root for these days is for my ad-blocker, Titanium backup, and a clocksync app that keeps my time synced to NIST.
Is it worth going to 4.3 without a root exploit for just these few apps? is there a non-root method of backup and restore like TiBu?

What is the best way to unroot my phone before taking any updates. Should I use the superSU unroot method? Should I unfreeze the bloatware first?

Yeah the support page is showing off the update and its features :good:
I would link you but I don't have 10 posts under my belt. It's on the front page of Android Police if you wanna check it out.
The software version is LRX21V.N900VVRUEOB6
Anyone seen it yet? It 5.0? 5.0.1? If it's anything like the note 4 build, you'll be in for a treat!

Looks interesting, but cant lose root. touchwiz is already awful enough with root. on eclipse rom right now
Im still on rooted 4.4.2, have zero issues with my Note 3.. My question is will i have to Wipe, perhaps back to original to take the Lollipop update (my OTA is disabled, if i check software updates, it crashes the settings program), or can i just load it with Kies over the existing? I dont care about root really anymore, there is nothing it gives me that i really need..

Be sure that you absolutely don't care that you're losing root and more than likely CAN'T revert back, as we could with the earlier KK images. I'm also on a rooted 4.4.2 vzw note 3(rooted image) and unless a rooted image/root method pops up, I'll probably be content with just stickin it out on 4.4.2. Being rooted with Xposed is FARRR too important to me to get all excited and indiscriminately take the 5.0 update, at the expense of losing root and Xposed.
Having a nice, pretty interface with 5.0 < sticking with my rooted 4.4.2 and enjoying the benefits of a rooted device with Xposed and all that it offers.
I don't wanna lose root because I tether to my phone when I need to but I like the material design on the lollipop. Waiting for it to be rooted.

Well there in lies the question.. the only app i have on my phone that takes advantage of root is some bloat freezer, and a backup program.. other then that i havent used it (i rarely use those apps to begin with), but i am interested in the speed improvements the new UI/ executable ways of 5.0 bring to the device..
I used an s6 yesterday and the interface is definatley nicer.. We may never get root on 5.0... Decisions.. Decisions..
Some who is recieves this needs to pull it from there data folder folder...will be in FOTA folder..
Lets start BUILDING!! :highfive:
I don't think we will get it till 5/13-5/16 as the instructions show WiFi initiated 5/13-5/16.
edit: I was wrong, the boot with out Sim and then power up with Sim in and manual check for sw update started my 5.0 upgrade...
its so bright and white, how do I go back to black notification panel...
Excited to tinker with this, finally we have Lollipop
when I get a chance I will pull 4. 4. 4 system image from Sam mobile and inject root and flash it. then hopefully I can pull the OTA once it comes. I'll keep you guys updated. from RErik we need to make sure the binaries match to be able to pull this off. cross your fingers that Verizon didn't update the bootloader or anything else for that matter
People are getting it now according to reddit users : http://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyNote3/comments/32onsn/verizon_note_3_owners_its_your_turn_to_get/cqd9tlo

How do you like it so far?
I'm seeking a bit of advice...
About 6 months ago I bought a Verizon GS4 for my father who is technically illiterate. I rooted the phone and got rid of most of the bloatware that would have just confused him. I did not install a custom rom or recovery etc, just kept the stock OS. He has been using the phone for the past six months. However he recently did something to the phone that may have bricked it (don't ask me what cause I have no idea).
Now when powering up the phone it goes straight to the Android recovery menu. I've tried wiping cache and doing a factory reset, but it still goes straight to the stock recovery. Another strange thing is that with the power completely off when I plug the charger in the phone will vibrate in pulses about 4 seconds apart continuously.
Any ideas what can be done about this? If I have to I can try to get the phone back with ODIN but I wanted to seek advice first. Thanks in advance.

The most effective way would be to Odin. Now you can just disable the bloatware and if you either get the ota to 5.0.1 or install a custom launcher hide the ones you can't.

So at this point I'm thinking my only option is to restore with ODIN. I believe the phone is NC5. Will the OTA to 5.0.1 mess things up because the phone is rooted? Or perhaps I should root at all and just disable the bloatware...that's probably the best thing at this point.

The OTA will remove root. However disabling apps is a decent alternative to uninstalling them. Personally, anymore I only root basic phones that have very limited internal memory. The OTA is smooth and it works fairly well from my use for a day.
Looks like Verizon is pushing 24B update today. Very minor fixes but it's not showing up on my phone yet. Here is Verizon's release for it. http://www.verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/system_update/benefits-lg-g3-7-9-15.pdf?null
Hmm. Do the interruptions mean that they have fixed notifications on wifi? It seems a bit cryptic.
Does anyone know if there will be issues if you try to take this OTA while rooted?
I am still on 23a. The OTA is not showing up and the upgrade assistant is of no help either.
Going to wait and see if we can flash back to a previous version, especially if root and bumping are locked out. Don't want it and currently, LP is running pretty well for me (has been since April when I upgraded to it). I haven't rooted as of yet either. Don't have a need for it right now and want to wait and see when the next big OTA comes out or if this upcoming one does fix the WiFi sync issue completely.

As a general rule, with ANY phone, running ANY software, do NOT take ANY OTA's while any modifications have been made to your system (this includes rooting, custom recovery, etc.). Could it go through? Maybe, no one really knows until some bonehead tries and it fails or a trusted member of the community lets people know. If it doesn't, you're in for much more of a headache than the update benefits you, and possibly much worse. Your only options should be either to 1) wait until someone releases an updated rom based on this update (which this update is pretty near worthless anyways - doesn't contain anything major), or 2) tot or kdz back to stock and upgrade without any modifications.
I am still waiting on it to show up on my phone for OTA. I'll upgrade to it and let you know if it fixes the wifi bug.

It looks to me like the update might have fixed the wifi bug. I uninstalled DNSet and sent an email to myself and I got the notification right away. I am restarting now to see if that makes any difference.
I'm stock/rooted (no bump) on 23C right now. I have not changed any system files from what I can recall. I'm currently running a titanium backup.
Once that's done, I'll unfreeze my frozen apps and I'll accept the OTA. Hopefully, I'll retain root. Through all of the previous updates with this phone, I have no lost root in taking an OTA.
I'll report back in around a half hour or so.

Can someone verify if they can root with the latest one-click root method and if you can revert back to a previous version to bump (KDZ or TOT)? I want to make sure they haven't locked out the ability to bump.
Well that didn't go so well. Upon rebooting to start the install, I quickly got an error message at the 1% mark
Err: 0x1111004
I don't recall any changed system files, but I guess there must be as that's what the error is most likely about?

Are you rooted and/or bumped? If you rooted and then unrooted (but didn't flash back via TOT or KDZ), then the system image is modified, even if you removed root as rooting modifies the system partition. Therefore, no OTAs will be accepted until you flash back to pure stock via TOT or KDZ.

I'm just rooted.
I know I've accepted OTAs in the past on my LG G3 while rooted and it worked fine. I didn't even try to unroot (this time or previous times).
Posted a link to the OTA files in @bweN diorD 's thread [REFERENCE] Stock IMG files + Stock Links & Mods.
I do believe if you were rooted going from KK to LP, it definitely didn't work and it could be this time around, if you used the new one-click root, it does the root differently to the point that it won't allow an OTA. I do remember I could update from 10b to 11c to 12b rooted as long as I had preserve root enabled in SuperSU. But, going from 12b to 23c rooted was a no-go and you had to flash back to stock. So, I'm going to chalk this up to the new one-click root method has done something that won't allow even a minor OTA from 23c to 24b to be allowed.
My freshly flashed 23C KDZ is a quarter of the way optimizing, then I'll take the OTA and try the one-click root again. After that, I'll test reflashing the 23C KDZ once more.
Edit: Update...weird. Under JasmineROM 7.0 (no debloat or mods, but rooted), it gave me the OTA, which I then moved from it's folder. Now that I've flashed the 23C KDZ in CSE mode, now it says I have no updates. I'll reboot and try again. If I have to I'll use the Activity Launcher method to run the OTA I already downloaded.
Update 2: Haven't had any luck applying the update with the "Activity Launcher" method. FOTA starts, the phone reboots but just boots the ROM and I have a notification that it failed to update. System Updates still claims I don't have an OTA available even though I did under JasmineROM 7.0 (rooted but not debloated and not modded).
I left my work WiFi, and came back. Google notifications are still working, and calls are still ringing Hangouts. MS Outlook app notifications are also working.

I can give that a try and see if it behaves any differently than the file I downloaded, but I doubt it. I would put this on my sdcard and then what?
So if the OTA fails on my stock/rooted phone, is there any way to get to 24B without a losing everything? If that's not available today, is that something that typically would be available at some point?
