Marshmallow 6.0 Update = Poor Wifi connection, extensive Wifi drops w/ Pandora and Decrease in Battery Life

I just updated to Marshmallow 6.0 OS for my Samsung Galaxy 6 smartphone and immediately had poor performance with apps like Pandora and Netflix via wifi connection. If I turn off wifi and use data, no problems. This is true with any wifi connection, so it's not just my home wifi network. In addition, I am having other issues with my phone after the 6.0 update. Those other issues relate to the voicemail errors and a decrease in battery life after the update. I would like to go back to 5.0 OS Lollipop since that was much more stable and I experienced no issues. I have since instructed my wife and others not to do their OS 6.0 update given the issues I am having along wtih many, many others. The new OS update is full of PROBLEMS and needs to be addressed immediately by Samsung/Verizon Wireless.

I also have issues with the voicemail code error 9007 and significantly decreased battery life and would much prefer to go back to the 5.0 OS Lollipop as well.

It's a shame... you would think OS 6.0 wold be better and more efficient than the preceding OS. It's virtually impossible for me to listen to Pandora. I can't make it through a single song without it dropping. Plus I'm having the same issues with Bluetooth in my truck. Very dissatisfied with the new OS.

Thank you for reaching out to the community forums for assistance csmpez. Let's partner together so you can get the most out of the Marshmallow update on your Galaxy S6. when did you complete the update? In most cases, the update can take up to 72 hours to normalize. Keep in mind that not all apps will be optimize to adapt to the software right away. Can we assume that your personal info has been backed up to either your Gmail account or Verizon Cloud?
