AT&T posted up a new bit of information about an update that is being pushed out to their LG G3. The AT&T G3 picked up Android 5.0 Lollipop back in February, and unfortunately this isn’t a push for anything over the current Android 5.0.1 update that it received. Instead, this update is turning VoLTE (Voice over LTE) on.
VoLTE is a welcoming addition to the device, however it is what else the update brings to last years flagship that might leave some with puzzled faces. Along with HD voice, you will also find that Uber will now be in your app list. For the uninitiated, Uber is the associate app to get rides from people in over 50 countries across the globe. It is like a taxi service, but provided by average people with average cars. You will also find another new app installed to your device from AT&T in the form of AT&T Mail. This app is another free app in the Play Store that you could easily get your hands on if you happen to have/use an AT&T or Yahoo email address.
The update is being pushed out in the traditional over-the-air style offering. This means it will probably land in stages, requires over 50% battery life, a solid Wi-Fi connection and some time to kill for it to download and install. AT&T lists the update as weighing in between 172 and 768MBs. The variance is probably to offset for those devices that still haven’t gone through with the Lollipop update.
