Interesting. Droid Life has an article up but in the screenshot, the software status was modified. Why would they release it for the G3 before the G4?

That blew my mind too. I was wondering if there was a reason like it was easier for them to do a older phone first for a software rollout. But it could be just Verizon being Verizon. Messing with our heads.

My g4 has said modified since the day I bought it new. I've done the previous ota updates without issue. I have no idea why as I've never applied root to this phone.

I think the modified status has something to do with some models receiving certain updates at certain times. I have 2 of them and one a few months older and it said modified after an update right after I got it. The newer one doesn't say modified and it came with later software. But I've always taken ota's on the modified one

Ive gone through quite a few G4s and I think some were botched from Verizon after installing their bloat and weren't reverted back to "Official" status. Verizon is aware of the issue and say it is normal.

On the update. The LG G2 got Kitkat before the LG G3 did. Who knows. Maybe they do it as a test to see how it preforms before releasing it to the newer gen.

Verizon G2 also got lollipop before Verizon G3.

Do you happen to remember the time frame between the g2 and the g3 update? Just curious if Verizon keeps it similar.

Verizon really annoys me. Why does it take them so long to roll out updates........are they too caught up trying to figure out how to load more bloatware on the update or something. At this point I'll be on to one of the new phones this year before the update even comes out. I like LG but this experience due to Verizon;s greed is making me consider either a different brand they dont lock down as much or possibly leaving.....which sucks because they do have the best coverage (AT least for me).

AT&T doesn't have it either. The other 2 carriers got 6.0. I would bet Verizon will get 6.0.1

Keep in mind, if a carrier sends out an update for a carrier variation and it has a ton of bugs due to rushing it, LG isn't going to be the one getting all the calls. I'd say that's reason enough to want to make sure it gets released when it's ready.

The Sprint G4 got Marshmallow 2 months ago.
Verizon G4 was supposed to get Marshmallow end of January or 1st week of February according to some reports.
Hopefully next week! Ha

Update doesn't seem to have anything impressive. Wish it would fix my battery life

Huh!?

The list of what I saw is coming in marsh isn't really anything I care about. My battery life is not impressive even with low screen brightness, no sync, no location yada yada. I've been at the game a while I know all the usual tweaks. My old note 2 killed this phone in battery life though I do love it so, I always find myself looking for a charger.

I have 2 G4's in the house and I have gotten as high as 5 1/2 hrs screen on with 38 hrs off charger. Average around 4 1/2 hours with 25 hrs off charger.
I am also always excited for the optimizations, features and fixes with any update.

Damn... Idk... 3 hours screen time max on Uber low settings. . New phone... Maybe a dud battery?

If you play games a lot that effects battery. I gained an extra hr of battery getting rid of my Facebook app and use Facebook through chrome. Just added a link to my home screen and set up notifications through my email.
If you have the Facebook app and don't have sync set up, it still runs in the background "resource hog". Hangouts, Google music, Google magazine or whatever it's called are always running in the background.
Just because you have nothing syncing doesn't mean that they aren't running in the background.
Ps. I leave sync on for everything. I also always clear my recents when I am done using my phone.
Hopefully this helps.

No fb app, never used it
