I am not looking for answers because there are none, but I am posting to let Verizon and others know abut my phone and it's response to the new update.
After the updates occurred my phone completely locked up, swipe screen locked up, everything locked up. After removing the battery numerous times, it now only sort of freezes up. More it lags all over the place. My pedometers no longer work at all, they freeze up and stop. S Health as well as Accupedo which I paid for. I can no longer type on my phone, well texting works ok, but if I go online, it lags and the words dont show up and then it gets really crazy. My contacts are continuously sending an error message that they have stopped working and need to shut down. Moving my volume and making it more complicated is ridiculous. I keep losing my 4G as well. Very rarely ever happened before update. I am now having to reboot my phone numerous times a day. My battery is iffy, it is ok enough, I dont actually use my phone that much, but if I do, I need to charge during the day now.
None of this was an issue before the update. NONE! I had a fabulous phone that I loved, now I have nothing more than a junk phone, reminds of the crap the pay as you go companies sell. I have had the S5 for about a year now and loved it. Now, I am trying to figure out what to do next? Cancel my service? I am not going to keep paying for a phone that doesnt work.
I didnt require any fancy updates of some 3D crap, I required a functional phone. I will be calling Verizon to let them know and see what my options are, but I am guessing there arent many. Sad! I have been with Verizon for so many years and this is really the first time I have had such a serious issue.
