LG G3 Wifi issues after Lollipop update - Issue identified

The app worked for me upon trying it. Good call. Thanks for sharing ggnmg3703.

Prior to my update to Lollipop, or maybe LolliFLOP is a better term, I had no issues with my LG3 phone.  Now that I've updated to LolliFLOP, I'm experiencing WiFi issues, Email not updating or sending while on WiFi, FB not connecting or updating while on WiFi, bluetooth not communicating with phone properly & so on.  Already been to Verizon store twice. No help there.  They want to relpace my nearly new phone with a refurbished phone hoping that might fix the problem.  I declined the refurbished phone.  This has to be a bug because I did not update my LG tablet and have had no problems with it.  Tried hard and soft resets, reboot WiFi, reboot phone, & disconnect & reconnect WiFi as the Verizon rep told me to do & still no go.  The minute I break any WiFi connection, my emails and FB updates. 

The other ridiculous upgrade, or I will call it a downgrade, is the inability to silence my phone but still use my alarm!  I work a 12 hour swing shift from days to nights & depend on my alarm all the time.  It's extremely annoying to either hear my phone ring or vibrate on my night stand while sleeping just so my alarm can be enabled!  Really???  Clearly, some overpaid genius didn't have his or her thinking cap on while removing this feature, "silent mode while alarm still works!" 

I can clearly see I'm not one of the few experiencing these problems.  I have come across several forums where people are having the same issues.  However, Verizon says they are not getting many complaints over these issues.  I can't help but wonder if they ever read comments posted on their own forum pages.  Wait, that's a silly question!  Of course they don't!  Planning on downgrading to KitKat ASAP to get my phone back to functioning properly. 

Google, Android, & Verizon are at fault for this mess!  They need to fess up & get fixes out ASAP!  Let's not forget about the fact I'm having to use more of my data now since updating to LolliFLOP!    Maybe a bill credit is in order for such a cluster you know what.

Trace, I don't know, if this may help (Or, you or Support might already have tried this). I just checked my G3 in Setting, Sounds & Notification tab, under Notification, Interruptions. There seem to be an option under "DOWNTIME" that you can set the time not to be interrupted. I wonder, if it actually set as "Quiet Time". I haven't tried it. So, not sure, if does keep alarms work or not.

I will take a look at that setting. Albeit, more steps involved than

simply turning the volume all the way down like I used to be able to do

with KitKat OS. Really, this is the least of my troubles thus far. Really

need a fix for WiFi issues & breaking up of bluetooth connectivity. Thanks

I can vouch for the Wi-Fi/Web browsing issues and that installing DNSet fixed all the latency issues. I have Comcast Blast I-net service (100+MBs) and we're back to blazing fast Wi-Fi on our G3's!! Thanks for the tip, ggnmg3703!!

Awesome!!!!! That totally worked! Cheers

Worked only briefly for me.  Notifications now no longer coming in.

Thank you for this tip!

The app worked and web pages are loading like the old G3 I used to love. Will have to see if YouTube and other vid services work as well...

Thanks again!

Thanks dennman! I made the change from Global to LTE/CDMA this morning and restarted the phone. Wifi works as normal from home. Facebook, emails, You tube and other web pages are working! I hope this will last for awhile. I have Comcast service @ 105Mbit.

It'll last as long as you keep it set to lte/cdma. Here in nyc whenever the train goes underground my phone switches to global. I  just have to remember to set it back to let/cdma.
