The company is working on a new update to fix it

It looks like LG might have botched the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for its last year flagship smartphone, the G3. There are lots of LG G3 owners who reports some of the craziest issues after updating to Android 5.0 Lollipop.

The problems are deep within the system and seem to affect most of LG G3's functions, and we're surprised that the South Korean company hasn't yet issued a fix for this or at least an official statement that it has acknowledged these problems.

LG G3 received Android 5.0 Lollipop earlier this year, but some carrier-branded versions got the update slightly later. Both unlocked and carrier-branded G3 units are affected by these issue, but not all.

It all comes down to how vocal LG G3 owners are about these issues, otherwise LG won't release an update anytime. The number of users affected by these issues is another aspect that LG is taking into consideration and for the time being that number is not possibly high enough.

The most spread issues affecting LG G3 units are battery drainage, Wi-Fi stability and SMS issues, Gmail problems (not syncing), and Hangouts (not receiving notifications).

On top of that, some users experience sluggishness while trying to write messages (keyboard pops up very slow), Bluetooth audio stuttering and many others.

No ETA has been given on the release of the bug fixing update

Some of those who own carrier-branded LG G3 units already called their operators to complain about these issues and they got surprising replies from reps.

Apparently everyone knows about these issues, the carriers, LG, and now users. According to carriers LG is now working on another update that should fix all these issues, or at least the major ones.

Unfortunately, no ETA has been given for the release of this update, and LG has yet to officially recognize that some G3 owners do have these issues after upgrading to Android 5.0 Lollipop.

Do you have an LG G3 running Android 5.0 Lollipop? Have you been affected by any of these issues (or others)? Let us know in the comments section.
