Just upgraded a friend's F240L on Lollipop v5.0.1 (Build V30C) via LG's 2014 Flash Tool (by flashing KDZ file) ... and it looks absolutely awesome.

The Bad so far:
- The performance has seen a little drop, or maybe its just me.
- The phone is heating up a bit more.
- App Crashes ... but it could be because i didn't Refresh/Reset the device after updating.

Okay, Update:
- Battery time has seen significant improvement, something totally unexpected. I left a fully charged phone overnight, and ever after 8 hours, not a single percent drop in battery :S
- No App Crashes now; didn't Reset the phone, but uninstall A LOT of unnecessary apps and Cleared Data from those stupid Korean apps.
- Regular performance is pretty good (browing, loading of apps etc) but some of the apps' scrolling is messed up. Play Store is stuttering like crazy, for reasons unknown (not lagging, though).
- The phone is heating up a bit more than usual during gameplay sessions, but its still much less than G2's heat.

Overall, I am in love with this Update. Job well done, LG!!

Except for the heating issue everything was fine for me when i had it.

so far going goOOod with pantech vega iron 2 im-a910L ... excellent battery and iron like strongness. using it more than 3 months. camera is just normal not so much impressive. if compare to its fellow phones for that price then its better camera and all features. still no lollipop updates. may be bcoz company pantech is going in loss. best phone in hand bcoz whenever i go to another city for a day or two, i never needed to charge it bcoz i have extra battery and desktop cradle charger which charges battery in less than 1and half hour and show green light if full in cradle .. earphones are also firm and goood though with vega "V" is imprinted on it . having full accessories and nice to use it ... The Most amazing thing about it is that it never heat up so much high and i am damn sure about my samsung s5 and samsung s4 which used to be heat up a little more high and higher and battery timing was worst for them. but here vega iron 2 is also doing good with battery ......

Download CPU-Z or Antutu Benchmark and check specs and see if they match the actual specs of G3.
Secondly, update to some good ROM.
At least 4.4.2, if not 5.0

Don't u have Google play store? Search for these apps in the play store.
Those games require Internet connection on the very first run and they might require it from time to time as these games keep updating on a regular basis.

Well I'm not using this phone. Was just saying about custom rom. Iron 2 is in my phone buying list but I guess I have to drop it. Though I will search custom rom for your phone.

well out there i am thinking to buy another phone for someone, budget upto 35-40 but really had no idea about perfect battery timing just like the same as pantech vega iron 2 and also its not become blazing hot as i see samsung series. only downside is that pantech has no updates for upgrades of OS . thats it

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
