Re: Verizon Android 5.0.1

Rob,

My (Verizon) Galaxy S4 was upgraded to 5.0.1 a few weeks back. I was
almost ready to downgrade back to 4.x.x. I do not recall that my reception
was affected. My issues were mostly CPU performance; screens would
invariably go non-responsive for 12 seconds at a time (yes, I timed it, and
it was consistently 12 seconds). I did some kind of system reset and power
cycled, but it did not help noticeably. I was waiting for the weekend to
visit the local Verizon shop to work through it, but then, within a day or
two, performance returned to normal, and it has been that way since.

I wondered if it had been busy reformatting files as a requirement of the
upgrade. But that wouldn't explain your issue.

to reboot my phone for it to reconnect.
I talked to our PC tech (who talked me into the upgrade) and he said he
started noticing the same thing also.
Get's so bad I can't even text in many places I used to be able to.
Apparently there's a newer version out for Android but Verizon seems to
take the attitude of not releasing a new version until the next version
after that is announced.
Probably an attitude of "who wants to be on the leading edge?". But this
is turning into the problem of inheriting all the problems discovered in
the old release that may have been fixed in the newest release.
If they claim it's because of extensive quality testing, it just isn't
working...

Most recent was a few voice mails from the doctor's office about my kid.
Grr...
