Gimme back my lollipop! [LG G4]

[RapidTurtle]

I was having a few problems after the update so I did an FDR. Everything seems fine now.

I went back to lollipop. How numerous apps deal with the SD card, widgets not updating were just a few of the reasons. I will try again later, but for now lollipop just seems to work better for me. YMMV.

Terrible update, I hate being a beta test for Android/Carriers/Manufacturers.

I just popped over to the Sammy forums and either they haven't received MM yet or it's so smooth it's transparent. If they haven't received it yet I can't wait to read the festivities once they do.

exactly! I hate MM. It has cause my phone to freeze and hang constantly. Apps don't open properly and I have to reboot more than I did with my BlackBerry! Such a sin! Makes me really not like this LG G4 anymore. I wanna go back as well.

I know iOS is not perfect but I don't know anyone who owns these phones that go through this garbage every year or so, there's a reason it sells.

As an Apple 6s Plus owner let me introduce myself.

Too bad you're having issues. In my case, I've noticed little difference between Marshmallow and Lollipop on the G4. The phone runs, and acts, just about the same....

I'm in Canada w/Telus (LG-H812) and just as you little difference experienced here w/MM, same performance, similar battery life and “never” once has it froze requiring a reboot since day one, having come from WM this is a breath of fresh air… Owned/own other Android phones/tablets so Droid is nothing new to me.

My G4 is having problems with Bluetooth and GPS and a FDR did nothing to help it. I'll probably just roll it back to Lollipop.

I am downgrading back to LP as I type this. Fingers crossed it all goes well . . . . .

I did the downgrade from marshmallow back to lollipop. Download the LGUP program (2 zipped files), the find the right kdz file for your specific version. I have the T-Mobile 10n version if someone needs me to figure out how to post.

After that, it's pretty automated: load LGUP, point it to the kdz file, press start, and walk away. Takes about 10 minutes. If you had done a recent LG backup before the update, then you just run the program and in a few more minutes, most of your files and settings are back the way they were. Does not require a rooted phone, but I do think you need to have developer options enabled.

If you want to downgrade, it's really one of the easier things out there

Thanks for this Allen. Will screen shot and save it for reference.

This method worked great but then I had the annoying update notification that kept popping up so I found the fix for that on the XDA forums. I think I am happy again

The LGUP flash program plus TOT files in the link below is hands down the easiest way to go back to another version. Just select the TOT and check "refurbish" in LGUP and let it go to work. This was for my 810 anyway. YMMV with other models so read up.

I reverted back today to LP from MM as a daily driver I couldn't stand the battery life anymore. Definitely this method works.

Anybody tried going back to lollipop from marshmallow? Can it be done? Not finding anything positive about this upgrade.

Could you point to the link for that? I haven't taken the 6.0 update and I would like to stop the update reminder.
