Did you manually off the data before you download the update?

No intention to update when fone is fine with lower version of fw but these few days server keep pushing the OTA update via data even when my selection preference is via wifi ... anyone having same issue?

My Lg g4 wont sound but only vibrate for my alarm when set in silent mode and everytime I need to restart to solve this issue. Any fix on that.

All my other android phones I used like sony, samsung and xiaomi will burst my alarm loud even I put my phone in silent mode (vibrate)

mine got no issue, i always put alarm when in silent mode. Did u put "no interruption" mode?

Yep, the old pesky update notification.. I was harassed by it too. For the first time when it popped up, I tried to remove the notification from the notification area by swiping it off but accidentally, tapped on it. Lo and behold, the damn download started but before the download could complete I powered off the phone. That process avoided the update/install altogether. Sneaky LG vs sneaky users..=:p

After when the phone rebooted I got the darn notification again and it lasted me for a good two f*aking days (excuse me for my poetic language).

Now how did it go away is anybody's guess. Am assuming, LG can't possibly push updates to us on a 24/7 and 365 days regime cos their servers will go kaput if they do. Anyway, if LG do go on a mission to harass you.. you can always, stop internet access to the "update centre" by using a firewall. There are many apps and firewalls available on the Google Play store so just take your pick. I'm using Avast (you need to be rooted for that). There is also "No Root Firewall" on the store so... hantam away.

You can also try "Force Stop" from Update Centre by going to -

Settings > Apps > Swipe 3 times from right to left to "All" > Look for "Update Centre" > Click on it > Clear Cache > Force Stop

See if this helps. Personally, I have not tried this as I did not get the chance to go head-on with the abominable update.

Anyway, my suggestion to you is to endure the notifications for 2/3 days and see if it goes away on its own like it did for me.

EDIT:

For those who are rooted, you can easily remove the Update Centre option altogether, from Settings > About Phone by just renaming these 2 files -

/system/priv-app/LGDMSClient/LGDMSClient.apk
/system/priv-apps/LGUpdateCenter/LGUpdateCenter.apk

Example (LGDMSClient.apk to LGDMSClient.apk.bak)

If you ever want Update Centre back just rename them to its original file names. Don't forget after every change do a reboot.

What I meant is that for data recovery centres which can do mobile phones, when they dismantle it, I guess it would void the warranty...

Mine still got a few months' warranty, so hopefully within these months I can find out a way to get the data out. Yes, we are slaves to the memories in our phones nowadays, seriously I feel I just experienced a severe memory loss (especially my tons of WhatsApp chats).

Meanwhile I shall use my old Samsung Galaxy S4 :D


Oh ok, data recovery centres that do for mobile phones, why didn't i think of that?? Sigh!
Ya, the warranty sure void in that case but my guess is if you take that much trouble n money to recover your data, it's worth more than your warranty.

Yes, same here, experiencing severe memory loss too, not just from whatsapp chats but also from my to-do lists, important memos etc.

Good for you, i remember my Samsung S3 remained trusty n reliable too despite being dropped a number of times n in a ko yak state..

My G4 suddenly shut down while I was using it today. Tried a few times to restart but it is stuck on the boot screen with the LG logo each time. Anyone encountered this before? I have loads of messages and photos not backed up!
tmd...happened to me now.
