Thoughts on Android 4.3 update

Klue

Since there are so many different kinds of problems being reported after the last two Android updates I am wondering if the problem lays with a conflict between the two updates. 4.2.2 supplemental security update was only released a couple of weeks before 4.3. There were a few problems with the security update, but the majority are now coming after 4.3. The two updates just might be at war with each other.

I have yet to update either one of them, but was wondering if anyone here has just installed only the 4.3 update and if they did if they encountered any problems?

If I do decide to install the updates my plan is to back up every thing on the phone and do a factory reset before the first update is downloaded, install the first then do a factory reset again, download the second and install it then do a third fatory reset. I will not reload any apps back to the phone until I find out if the phone is working without all the problems listed from others here. Any apps I do reinstall will be downloaded from the play store instead of using a backed up copy. This is a lot of work and when I have a day to do this it will well be woth the extra time involved..

I did the 4.2.2 update 2 days after it came out without issue (Lucky).  I did not do any resets or backing up as the stuff is backed up to the gmail.  I finally did the update for 4.3 last night and noticed I was getting some security warning shield every few minutes and on each re-boot.  I searched and found several were having this issue and a factory re-set fixed this issue, which a factory re-set will fix many issue but no one likes to do them but, after about 2 hours of this warning coming up.  (something about something entering a secure area that it should not)  I just did the factory re-set and I have not seen the warning again and my phone is back to what it was before the update.  All my stuff auto downloaded from gmail.com and I have set most of that up including my Starbucks card, so will go down today and get my free drink I have coming before it goes away.  YMMV good luck with your updates.  Just glad the experience was not as that horrible update they give us on the SIII and then it took them 2 - 3 weeks to come up with a fix. and the only thing you could do was either let VZW replace your phone with a refurbished or search the internet on how to roll back to the previous version.  I rolled mine back to the previous version and when the new update came I was able to do it without issue.  What a nightmare that was a few months ago.
