battery timing improvement is observed

The most useful feature in MM for me is that it tells for how many seconds a call rang Now no one can just give a miss call and say I was calling you

Guys one of my friends is having heat up issues on s5 lollipop , should be upgrade to marshmallow? Anyone has any experience on it?

If it's G900F, update to Marshmallow ASAP.
The UI looks the same, but doesn't heat up at all and is a lot faster.

Extract the file. Read pdf file it has a the info.

Make a folder named dload in root directory of your sd card.
Copy update.app in that folder.
Go to updater.
Select local update.
It'll restart and update your phone.
Dont press any button when it is updating.
Make sure your phone is more than 30% charged.

AT&T. Local LTE support. Locked bootloader.

Verizon. CDMA Hardware. Locked bootloader.

T-Mobile. Best LTE bands. Unlocked bootloader.

So the T-Mobile one definitely.
SM-N920T to be precise.

All have the same specs.

Not the lack of features, but you wont have any lags etc any more.

So tried to update the phone and when i selected local update it said it will restart after that it was loading and then it just showed a picture of the dead android and said it failed. Option was there to manualy install what file i wanted but it wasnt there. Wont try it again definitely! Still thanks for the feedback. Took out the battery and turned it on and now all is fine running jelly bean. Still the heating issue is there so i guess i'll have to live with it. Do shopkeepers in hafeez centre or other places update the phone and charge money?

1- in apps setting when you open any app there is option of storage, you can change it from there.

2- drag down sms and it'll show search option.

3- do a factory reset.

Imei starting with 99 in LG are said to have unlocking issues sometimes IIRC. But it maybe fixed by now.

Get the one with serial number starting with 6 atleast.

Basically, first three digits of S/N in LG indicate its manufacturing date.

E.g. 601 is 6-01,
6 = 2016 (year)
01 = January (month)

Like I got G4 H818P with S/N 604, which means its. 6-04, manufactured in April 2016. So very latest and fresh stock. LG many of the times has quality issues in early production cycle, so getting latest manufactured stock is better. Make sure that your Nexus 5X has no noticeable yellowish tint on display.

Once you know these things, you will figure out that most of the LG G2, G3 etc in market are refurbished and sold as brand new these days. They show 2013/2014 manufacturing date and still sold as brand new. If you lookup their previous history and activation dates, you will find that they are ~2 years old (used), then refurbished and sold as fresh brand new stock. And sometimes they are so messed up that they contradict their own S/N, IMEI number and its related info.

99 IMEIs belong to CDMA devices.

Avoid at all costs. Simple as that.
