Overall lollipop is good. The battery could be better but it's not horrendous.
I just got the g3 and love it.

How much screen on time do you get?

 

[Hypnotoadd]

It's probably best to upgrade right away, that way if you have any issues & need to do a factory reset, you won't have to back up any data or worry about losing settings or anything. Your upgrade will also probably be smoother since you're working with a clean phone.

Yeah i figured. But is lollipop stable

I have had mine a couple months from T-Mobile and love it. Battery to me seems great. I haven't checked screen on time with it really drained but have seen over 2hrs with 55% left and close to 3hrs with about 28% left so by that i would say over 4hrs is doable. Probably more since most of my screen time is for games. As far as lag goes, I imagine it's totally dependent on the app. Some open and do hings really quickly and some take a second. I really like the phone for what it cost and can't think of anything out now i would trade it for when i consider the price difference. Having sad all that, I am having a couple issues since the Lollipop update having to do with data signal and wi-fi calling but heard they are aware of the issue and are working on it so not too worried.

Any uk g3 owners here? What's you experience like?

 

[belodion]

Yes, I've had an unlocked D855-EUR since last July. No regrets then, none now.
If he won't mind, I'm going to refer you to the second part of Chris Dontworryaboutit's username....it would make a good answer.

Just grab a G3. It's a superb device, and UK prices now are about £100 less than when I bought.

Haha man, i bought it on amazon for £275....such a bargain

Not at UK but I'm running a G3 D850 on At&t at US and so far their update has been smooth. The phone is now more responsive and no lag that I notice. My sot varies from 3-4hrs depending on how heavy I use, but it always last from 6am til 7pm when I get home with no charge needed.

Question 6. How should i charge the g3 when i first get it

No, I'm on stock, unrooted Lollipop ROM for now. After rooting I will probaby install Cloudy G3 ROM, but for now stock ROM is just fine.

Question 6. How should i charge the g3 when i first get it

To 100%, plus half an hour continued charging after it's reached that. You might find that it sticks at 99% for a time, before tripping to 100%.
You'll probably also find, when you use the phone, that it indicates 100% for a surprisingly long time before falling to 99%.
Opinions about charging and battery care differ, but Rukbat's Ambassador Guide is worth reading:

So should i use it ir charge it staright away

It's a lithium-ion battery, so you do not have to go through charging - discharging several times in order to format it.
G3 battery is ussualy 50%full out of the box. You may charge it immediately or let it discharge first. It's up to you

Sorry guys just a little worried about the mixed opinions with the overheating, lag and battery but hopefully I should be okay

UK G3 here. Had it for about 2 weeks. Handset can get hot from prolonged use. I did have battery issues this weekend but i reset the device and uninstalled suspect apps, seems back to normal now.

I have had 4hrs 25mins SOT but that was including watching a movie. When using apps its 3 hrs give or take.

I do get lag when launching Google search, thats not immediate for me. I do get the odd home screen re-draw too.

Overall i am happy, I had to choose from last years flagships as i was priced out of the new ones. On Three I got the device free and my contract cost reduced.
