Oops..Looks like not ok. Give up.

May be there is a rough app that caused a conflict.

I've not tried v20a but had issue with notification light with v20b. So far,
v20d from taiwan is most stable. =)

sorry to ask...

currently having v20c(Taiwan Version), how do I update to v20d(Taiwan Version)??? when I check for software updates, got prompted that v20c is already the latest version... btw, my set is not rooted.

Thanks in advance...

Possible. But how to identify ? Still monitoring it. Happened once since factory reset. Xian..

Had told you guys, it is an issue with v20a to v20c firmware for G Pro 2 and proposed the solution on earlier post to use 'light flow'.

To completely eliminate the issue, flash v20d.

No apologies required, forum is to help one another.

The update is not OTA, I flashed it manually from downloading the official firmware from the website below:
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=62

Go read and search within this forum on how to go about doing it.
Is it worth it? My opinion, absolutely. Couple of hours of effort for this super phone to be back in my list of best in phone yet, still, as of now.

I agree with you on this. Before proceeding to flash, bery scared that the phone will be bricked... lucky turn out well..

falcom2002 - try the following steps at your own risk!!!!! if can't work, your phone will be bricked and need to go service center.....

My phone is not rooted so I guess the normal procedure works.

If your phone is rooted, PLS DONT TRY THE METHOD AS STATED BELOW~!!

=================
1. Download LG USB Driver for LG G Pro 2 from http://androidxda.com/download-lg-usb-drivers and install in windows.

2. Download LG Flash tool 2014 from

3. Download LG G pro 2 v20d Taiwan firmware from

Note: choose (Taiwan region - See - 26 TWN/TAIWAN V20d LGD838 1.07 GiB)

The firmware is in KDZ format - put inside the extracted LG Flash tool 2014 folder.

Connect your phone to your pc usb port - it should now show installing LG usb drivers.. let it install successfully...

Good post. Thanks.

Do you need to put phone in download mode?
I tried but failed: off phone, hold vol up and plug in usb.
Did I do it correctly?

Edit: Got it. But did not flash.

Looks like everything is going great for you.
Will play with Sg lollipop version a few more days before deciding to hop over to TW 20d. Afraid of putting worms into my ass. Hahaha

Frankly speaking. I have never experienced that WhatsApp LED blinking issue with my Lollipop in the past week.

Setting the Vibration to long instead of default or short vibration in Whatsapp may just cure the issue.

Sounds strange and rediculious...No harm giving it a try..It is just a few taps away..

 

[kelvinti]

After many circles of battery charging in the past week. I can see that the battery performance with Lorrypop is improving significantly.

Happy.

May sound silly though but i will give it a try. Led at times still cannot behave.

Thank you for giving me face! If it doesn't work, you can slap my face later!

No worries. You can save your face. Ha ha ..
Its only a minor project as compared to flashing or factory reset.

Maybe I WOLS, but anybody else got their OTA Lollipop update on their G Pro 2? I was surprised when I was prompted by an update notice, indicated update size was about 627mb, figured it was a lollipop update so I went for it. Now styling with my G Pro 2 on OS5 Lollipop 5.0.1

 

[progene]

Mm quite skeptical going to 5.01. Maybe 5.1 would be better.. Hahaha
