After installing everything seems fine. But how do you restore everything from your Gmail account.

I guess clearing Google Services framework data does do something after all.

Google has said factory data reset and time should restore settings/data. They did not specify how much time.

He could have factory reset before doing the update, which would mean he'd have to log back in.
Besides backing your apps with the LG backup also appears to back up the apps framework. Meaning, when you restore it repairs any issues it would normally cause, I.E. Notifications not getting pushed.

Anyone else having problems with google play music? Songs just randomly stop, even the ones I saved for offline use.

They've been doing this to me as well, and I'm still on JB. It seems to be a Google Music error, not an OS error.

Other than that little hiddegity piddegity, I'm enjoying the new OS. Very fast, and no slow down once it completely installed.

I have noticed that on the pull down screen that the icons are still blue. I thought they were changing to white.

Anyone notice that the character counter is now in the message box in the messaging app. Not necessarily anything wrong with it, just think it looks weird 😕

Has anyone gotten use to the MMS menu now. It gives me a Google Drive theme and shows all my media now (cloud and device).

Now I'm pissed. They took away Aspect Ratio option under Display Settings. Now Gun Bros has tiny controls.
