Not much has changed with my since last post except my time being a customer has increased.....Which, btw I have been a customer for 14+ years...
I have cleaned the cache 5 times
I have done a factory reset twice (what a PIA!)
I rarely get 4G anymore (I used to), it's mostly 3G and even the 4G is S-L-O-W.
I was NEVER down to 1X in my home until after the update
If I don't use my phone at all it will last until I get home at 5 & then I have to plug it in. If I use it for more than 4-5 phone calls, I have to plug in an external battery when I'm working in the field..
I got rid of every App I downloaded with NO change is battery life.
The phone intermittently notifies me I have a text.
I get messages daily that some factory loaded app has stopped working, usually messaging.
I keep thinking a patch will be made available. I know, I know.......but I haven't been holding my breath.
I used to really like this phone. It is compact & does everything I need. I don't need nor want the latest and greatest.
I would have used this phone for 2 more years. As it is they are going to be recycled very soon, they are already scrap!
I have gone to two different VZ stores. 1st kid kept trying to sell me stuff and acted like he had never heard of ANY problems with Android phones after KitKrap. He also treated me like I was a stupid old guy that just doesn't understand tech... but he had never heard of a card reader. 2nd sales person at 2nd store at least admitted they all knew about the problems and told me I had to call "the number" and talk to VZ. because he was not allowed to help me.
I still have almost 3 months to go before my contract is up. I am researching phones (again) and going to the competition.
