Get your toothbrushes ready, the sugary sweet lollipop update for the LG G2 was released today

[Mikey47]

My swipe from bottom gives SEARCH, VOICEMATE and QUICKMEMO, but I honestly never use them.

On lollipop with a sprint LG G2? I only see Google Now.

My Bluetooth is still wonky. It doesn't always connect to media audio in my car, half the time it just connects to call audio.

I was driving to work and when I got to work all my screens were default again and all the factory icons changed. I have been on lollipop for over a week now and this just happened. Anyone else have this happen?

No. But I have been losing my quick settings...poof just gone...reboot fixed it. Hopefully that's all it is for you.

 

[Tayloj92]

Hmm idk about that. I rebooted and its all the same. It seems to have fixed my WiFi issue I was having. So I'm not complaining about it lol I was just wondering if anyone else and seen it.

LG Backup no longer shows up in app drawer. If you list apps through the settings it's in the list there (in fact I was just prompted to update it).

WTH?

Gerryf19's next message mentioned he was pre-Lollipop. So, he was posting in response to another post saying what swipe-from-bottom features were removed in the update.


Cheers,

Yep, I was just trying to remind people what was there...still not a hint of lollipop for me. So much for 100 percent saturdation by Monday, 5-18.

Yikes. That is not good. How am I going to restore all my stuff if I do a pre-lollipop factory reset?

Thanks for heads up...better do a pre-update manual back up.

I found it! It's not listed in the app drawer but if you go to the Settings - Backup and Restore you will find it there.

I sure wish we would get a complete changes document rather than having to figure all this out on our own.

Nope, the icon just isn't there. But like I said I can get to the functionality through Settings - Backup & Reset.

At the least you could always download QuickShortcutMaker:

I finally got mine at 11 pm last night. Finished the update after I got to work this morning.

I've had this update since yesterday morning and am definitely falling out of love with my G2 I loved this device from day one and didn't have any thoughts of getting a new one until recently. About a week or so ago, it started getting really slow and freezing randomly. I have no clue if that was getting ready for the update or what but since the update I have found several things I don't really like, most of which have been mentioned and are things I can learn to live with. One however, is making me absolutely crazy... is there a way to change the color of the messaging app?? This bird crap yellow is blah. And I am a chronic texter for not only personal but work related. I don't really want to download another app to my phone that will take up more space but that seems to be the only answer I can find. If that's the case, what 3rd party texting apps does anyone recommend?

 

[Mikey47]

Yeah the mustard yellow is pretty annoying, but I got over it pretty quickly. As for other apps AC just had this article :

In case anyone is wondering, screenshots can be taken by pressing and holding the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons. I used to swipe up from the bottom of the screen and use QuickMemo, but that option is now gone. It took a little bit of digging to find the new/alternate method.

Or you can swipe down the quick settings and access QuickMemo as usual. I never have been able to hit the volume/power rocker buttons simultaneously and it was only luck if I did.

Settings >> display >> home touch buttons. You can add quick memo

This update causes my phone to take a while to power on and then longer to start up. It constantly freezes and the battery life is atrocious. I would prefer to go back to Pre-lollipop. How may I do that?
