why does the marshmallow update suck

[rdlkgliders]

My problems with 6.0
Battery Life is way worse with same use
Can't send photo from camera screen without google stopping
MMS issues multiple including text screen closing and returning to home screen.
making phone calls, often it takes forever to start dialing.
All of the above are new or worsened since update.

Exactly what I complained about. Apps just stop.

You should consider a tutorial for the rest of us....

I guess this is a reply to me?

A google search will give you a number of pages with instructions on how to use the LGUP tool. Here's the one that I followed:
How to Downgrade LG G4 H815 to 5.1.1 Lollipop - DroidOpinions

A few points...
1) I backed up my phone first using LG Backup. Using this I was able to restore my home screen settings and apps, but app settings were not restored.
2) No need for your phone to be rooted to use LGUP (mine isn't).
3) Be very careful if you have a carrier specific G4. Make sure you select the correct KDZ file for your phone/carrier. Mine is the H815 international version, so it was quite simple. For example, google "LGUP Lollipop Verizon" to see if there are instructions specific to your carrier.
4) I chose the 'Refurbish' option which will also perform a factory reset. I chose this because I had read that the downgrade can fail if you choose the 'Upgrade' option.

I really don't understand how the developers or whoever can thing Marshmallow is better. Better than what? A landline? Perhaps better than a pager? Because for a CELL phone OS it sucks! I thought the update from KitKat to Lollypop was bad...and sadly I was excited for that one. I purchased my phone it worked AWESOME on KitKat. The battery lasted 1.5 days and that was with me using it. I heard so many good things about Lollypop I looked forward to the update after only having my phone for ONE MONTH...what a SAD, sad, sad day. The battery went to needing to be charged twice a day. Whoa! No changes in the way I used my phone, only changed how often I had to charge it, and no matter what I did, that remained the same...some other issues to, but was able to resolve most or just learn to live with them....again, looked forward to the next OS update...along came MM....wow, couldn't suck more than anything I've had done to any previous phone and that includes having a Blackberry. Why oh why do developers think they are making good changes when they are worse than the previous ones?????

1. Battery life is abysmal, I now need to charge the phone at least 3 or 4 times. Note these changes are not occurring gradually over time. They are right after the update and I've cleared my cache every time. I removed so many programs to even update the OS...programs I USED but still removed because I needed to clear space, for what, this horrible update. Hey, developers or whoever is making these terrible changes please stop messing things up that used to work.
2. I am the user of this phone, not some developer...why did you REMOVE the personalized vibrations on texts????!!! This was for me the WORST of the worst changes ever ... I do not, repeat NOT want the same vibration for my notifications, email and text and I don't want Suzy to have the same vibration as Sam. I want it back the way it was...the ability to have a text vibration for all texts, a vibration that is DIFFERENT for notifications, a vibration that is different for email. And I want to be able to have certain people have a different vibration for text and phone. It worked before so it's not like it can't be done. Whoever is the powers that be, put it back please I am not a happy camper with this.
3. What were you thinking when you made the phone constantly change to CARMODE when I start my car. I have my Bluetooth hooked up, so if I get calls I can answer them...there's no need for this CARMODE stuff to keep interrupting things. Thing is - it's whacked! I get into my car start my car and suddenly my phone is lighting up with the do you want car mode, I cannot even swipe it away...it just stays there lit up unless I actually UNLOCK my phone and then ON its own it starts to activate it. I don't think it makes it safer when you have to actually UNLOCK the phone...that is in fact a DISTRACTION. If it try to ignore it and then get out of my car after my car is OFF and I am walking away toward the house or store, or work, or whatever...when I unlock my phone guess what?!!! It still goes into *Carmode* WTF?! This doesn't even make any sense at all. Why is it doing it, well, because I never responded in the first place to the initial Carmode, but here's the thing...why should I have to respond. If this supposed carmode is a safety thing and you've made it so I cannot even turn it off without disconnecting my Bluetooth, then I should not have to perform an action for it...it should just be seamless and need no response, but since it does need a response, it should also be something I can disable. I don't want it. I like the old way --- the Bluetooth in my car automatically connects and I don't have to push any buttons, don't have to unlock my phone just to acknowledge it -- it's dumb. Please either put it back the way it was so it can be disabled or make it so there's none of this unnecessary unlocking of the phone to disable or enable it.
Wow, I could go on some more with issues, but I think for now that's verbose enough.
How do we get the OS developers to address these problems they created not fixed.

You do know that you are talking to fellow users and not LG here, right?

As a user all I can say is that I have none of the problems you do. I use my phone in my car with bluetooth daily and I don't even know what "car mode" is, never seen it. My battery life is stellar, at the end of the day it is usually about 60% or more remaining. I don't use custom vibrations.

You need to contact LG customer support to try to get them to change engineering decisions.

Dude.....seriously....this is not the SAMSUNG rant forum thread. This is the LG G4 subject thread.

Someone needs to do some quick info searching before they blast off on their rants to some miscellaneous forum. And then maybe when you do find the right place to post your issues......you can then actually figure out how to use specific settings on your phone. Good luck!

I updated to MM at the beginning of the year and was horrified to find my battery draining by midday. After hearing all the wonderful things that MM was going to bring to my G4, extra battery life was, for me, the biggest plus. How disappointed I was! I decided to give it a week to settle down, but there was no improvement, so I found a way to downgrade back to Lollipop, and have not looked back since!! And until Google releases an update that is demonstrably better than v6.0, I'll be staying where I am!
I'm fed up to the back teeth with all these smartphone companies, telling us how their latest "flagships" are bristling bells and whistles, and can do that faster, and this better, only to find out that you have to turn most of them off, or the battery only lasts 7 minutes, or the phone may explode!! I for one would rather have a phone a few millimetres thicker, to enable them to fit a battery that lasts all day, with all the doodahs turned on, than being able to brag that my phone is the thinnest on the market!! Ok, rant over!!!

Ever since this marshmallow update, my phone periodically freezes. This happens several times a day. I also don't like the way it changed the typing.

 

[Dhgbeez]

My phone has gone crazy the battery dies it runs hot and just sucks now that i have 6.0 help!

Posted via the Android Central App

This is why I hate android. I didn't approve the upgrade and now without knowing it's at v6 now. Wth! Battery lasts 3 hours, get so hot it's turns itself off, randomly turns off, power button won't wake screen sometimes. I have to plug or unplug power to get the screen to reply.

Tmobile are complete morons and did a stealth install of this garbage v6! I'm beyond livid.

 

[NYVET]

These updates suck. Every time. And I'm so SICK of friggin hearing the solution is a FACTORY RESET! FOR F*** SAKE, doesn't ANYONE realize that is NOT a convenient or practical solution? How's THIS for an idea...ANDROID AND THE MANUFACTURERS GET THEIR HEADS OUT OF THEIR ANAL CAVITIES AND GIVE US PHONES AND OPERATING SYSTEMS THAT WORK CORRECTLY! Wow...what a novel idea, huh? I HATE Apple, BUT, if this crap continues, I'll get a friggin iPhone! I'll sacrifice some things I like in exchange for a STABLE device that I don't have to backup, reset, and reconfigure EVERY GOD D***** APP I have including user dictionaries, keyboards, etc, cuz we ALL know how well all these 'backup' apps or settings work! STOP with the factory reset bull**** and FIND A SOLUTION!

I hate to agree with this but I'm really getting fed up with all the Android nonsense. Janky, settle in, wonky, factory reset, battery... If I hear those words anymore my head is going to explode. Apple puts out a super stable ENCRYPTED device using 1/2 the hardware and its almost "janky" free. I want to blame the carriers and manufacturers but Google set all this up the way they designed Android. Why are Chromebooks so awesome and Android such garbage? Anyway - I downgraded back to 5.1 and decided to root because MM was so bad. I made some small tweaks and debloated and its 1000% better. Might want to look into that solution.

Can you share the steps you took to do that? My phone is crapping out and I'm incredibly frustrated! Your help to roll it back would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

This method worked for me with no issues. Very happy to be back on 5.1.
