I have a Sprint G4 LS991 that was already running ZV9 Marshmallow. My phone has informed me today that I have an Android system update. I have no idea what the update is out what it does. Should I install it? What is the version.
. At that does it do?

I installed this update about 30 minutes ago. Now a bunch of my apps and widgets are no longer installed. I tried restarting my phone and some more apps were updates, but no all. I'm going to try reinstall the missing apps.

My phone is on Software version LS991ZVA and Android security patch level 2013-01-01. I do not remember what security patch level it was before the update.

I was getting two errors consistently: 1) the phone wouldn't sometimes not hang up unless you reset the phone 2) MM texts wouldn't come through properly

Hope those are fixed.

My phone got an update 2 nights ago. Shows LS991ZVA now with Android 6.0. The Facebook widgets are gone as well as Facebook seems to be integrated into the software now as you can only Force Close or Disable it. No uninstall options. Not sure how I feel about that. Can anyone else confirm this is what they see?

I have the Sprint G4 LS991 that has been sim unlocked and now using simple mobile. Shortly after getting the phone it updated to MM 6.0. Also lost mobile data. Could not get support from LG or Simple due to imei number is from other. Software version says LS991ZFA. Is it possible to downgrade back to Lollipop 5.1 using the LGUP tool? Also after playing with the APN settings i managed to get the mobile data back on.

Yes. You can downgrade.

You have to change your APN settings. I noticed that this variant of LG G4 likes to auto rewrite MMS settings.

Check to see if it changed from your MMS api settings to a sprint one....

it's an MMS apn setting. I noticed that this phone will try to auto rewrite the APN to default spring settings if a major change occurs.

I use it with t-mobile and noticed it changed on me back to the original after the update. I changed it back to tom's api settings....MMS comes through just fine.

How to change the APN in ZVA 6.0? My IOT shortcut from QuickShortcutMaker does not work. It says "Application is not installed".

That's because you have to open the menu in ZV6, not ZVA. Downgrade to ZV6, open the hidden menu (leaving it in recent apps list), upgrade all the way to ZVA and then go back to that menu. Make APN changes as necessary.
