I wonder if that is correct? Haven't heard other T-Mobile owners say that. Maybe you got a demo or a returned unit or employees were playing around with it before selling. I'd reset it.
Did LG accidentally load 3.1 on this trash???

Something is definitely wrong here..I went to Dev options and it was on ART..I then changed it to Dalvik and it didn't go through app optimization. I then set it back to ART since that's how it was set and then it went through optimization. Strange!
Ah. I've stayed away from ART so I wasn't aware that there wasn't a wait to convert back to dalvik. Cool, all the better then.

Interesting, mine was running dalvik. Perhaps Verizon knew it was having issues on art and had dalvik as the default.

I'm not having any of the issues with my G3 that others are reporting (headphone jack, overheating, Bluetooth, etc) but this thing is so slow to load webpages or emails! I did a speed test and I'm getting about 14 down and 6 up! My iPhone can do 44 and 15 (AT&T, btw) I knew there might be a trade-off for the high res screen but that's unacceptable. I May have to return it for that reason.

Maybe you should buy the international 2/16 variant as it has no overheating, auxiliary, Bluetooth, screen,email or any other that has been posted.
Call me a liar and I say I don't believe you as I'm using it and its fine.

I also have no issues except chrome is slow to load webpages not noticing a email issue. Anyone having luck with a different browser?

This and other posts/threads kind of reminds me of purchasing PC laptops. Every new model year you get to play a roulette game of which OEM has launch issues. I almost find myself wondering why I thought it was more prudent to go Apple for laptops but not for mobile.
Oh yes, I did just go there

I took a trip back to Apple because of issues like these. I came back because I couldn't stand the size of the iPhone screen. What will I do when the iPhone 6 is released? We'll see...
Just a tip for you folks who are having issues with a bad batch. I learned this the hard way after having to return my N7 4 times before getting one I was willing to keep. This is delving into lucky rabbit's foot territory maybe but it's a theory I think has some merit.
I don't think anyone disagrees that there's such a thing as defective units. My theory is that defective units are sold in batches because they're likely manufactured, packaged, and shipped on the same batch from the same factory on the same day. Therefore if you return it to the same store, you just get more of the same batch. Try saving yourself what I went through and return it for full refund and buy from another location. Phones are trickier than tablets though because there's a very good possibility that the delivery truck hit all that carrier's stores in that area the same day.

Yeah. I wouldn't call people liars. My phone is almost perfect. Sorry yours seems to be a lemon. For the others. In regards to ART on the Verizon models. Is it on be default. I haven't checked. Does enabling developer settings mess up getting a update or is that only if you root the device.
Yeah kinda on the fence this year. Family has a 5s and mini retina in the house so I get to compare a lot. Mini is knocking the crap out of my own N7 in terms of being totally hassle free and edges it out in performance. I do so love android features and capabilities though. I've never used an apple mobile device as my own yet, so I may pick up the 6 just for the heck of it this fall. Waiting for it and the Sony Z3 to drop before I decide.
To the OP, it sounds like somebody messed with your phone before you got it. As far as I know, none of the carrier branded G3s should have ART on by default, also they also don't come with animations set to zero. They should say 1.0. (although personally I keep then at .5 to speed up the system slightly). Anyway those are huge red flags that someone messed with your settings. ART is very known to have issues with the G3. Not everyone but enough people are reporting problems. Change it back to Dalvik.

I promised to never go with Apple and have never used their products..However, I am tired of buying inferior products just because..I just might make that dive for the Apple.
