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.
