S5 updated to Lollipop 5.0, now cellular data does not work

My Galaxy S5 phone automatically updated to Lollipop 5.0 last night and now I am having connectivity issues using cellular network. I click on my chrome icon and the internet page comes up. I type in a web address and it will just keep showing the loading "circle". Eventually it will time out and exit me back to the home screen. If the page does load, it only does a partial load. If I scroll to the bottom of the page where the load ends, it will kick me back out to the home screen or continue to load without actually loading. I have turned the wi-fi off. I have toggled airplane mode. I have toggled celluar mode. I have pulled the battery. I have wiped the cache partition.

Ensure that network mode (more networks > mobile networks > network mode) is set to LTE/CDMA and not Global. Also try removing the SIM card for a few minutes (be careful not to touch the gold contacts) and then reinsert and allow it a few minutes to establish a fresh network connection.

Thanks for the info on the Global vs LTE. I changed my settings. A page seems to load, albeit it takes 1 minute, if I have been there before. If I am visiting a new page, it will time out. I also pulled the SIM card and let it sit for at least 5 minutes before putting it back in.

And my battery is at 69% and I have only had it unplugged for 3.5 hours and haven't used it much because well...it won't connect to the internet.

Having the device searching in global mode for a signal can cause the battery to drain more quickly than if it were only looking for the CDMA or LTE networks for voice and data. I would also make sure that the display is set to auto, and that you're only using the vibrate function when you need to in order to make the battery last longer through the day.
