just woke up and it sayed there was a update made shure it was 5.1.1 and its installing now just wanted to let u all know will post in a few day to see if it helps with any of the problems
Me to, in Michigan. Said "will take 17 minutes to install". I charged up and letting it rip now. I was going to update the other thread (the FAIL thread) but it is now locked by an admin. Kudos to Verizon for not locking it until now though. I don't know how much space is needed, but I did have somewhere above 10G free.
I love how it is time stamped December 3rd 2015. 42 days to push it out.
I've noticed a substantial system speed improvement. I wiped the phone yesterday in preparation of taking this update. Even from a factory reset it was lagging.... so far in 5.1.1 everything seems as peppy as when it was running kitkat. I've loaded up many apps and its still going strong.
Battery, I've lost 27% during the flash... but it even tells you to recharge after the update. Guess I won't know if this upgrade helped my battery and radio issues until later... does look promising though.
The update destroyed my battery life. After a full charge, the phone is telling me only 4 hours left on battery. I did a factory reset and I can still watch the battery percentage drop. The battery life was bad before this update, but now it's completely useless.
LLamee, we want to make sure that your battery lasts. I have read that you have purchased batteries and you let us know the results. Have you received your battery yet?

Just saw our battery and charger combo at best buy (Samsung area). I'm thinking of using a price match from Amazon on one, plus whatever stupid best buy rewards I have that will expire in days...
The Anker batteries from Amazon seem to be working. I still don't think the battery life is as great as it was before 5 or even with the 5.1.1 update; however, I do think it's better. The phone does randomly restart now after the update and with a factory reset, so I guess there's no winning. These phones aren't the flagships they were supposed to be.
Llamee, the Note 4 is an awesome device. Is the device restarting after a certain app is being used? How long is the battery lasting now?

@llamee see my recommendation on the other thread to get yourself a new battery. Be sure it is OEM and not counterfeit.
To everyone else, I know this isn't scientific, but normally I'd have lost at least 5-7+% in the last 90 minutes. However, after an hour I looked at my battery and it still said 100%! Right now it's at 98% after 90 minutes. According to the battery meter I can get through the rest of today, and all of tomorrow without a charge.
I did, thank you. I have two batteries coming in overnight. I went with the Anker batteries as both seemed to have somewhat mixed results. Hopefully that fixes the issue. I'm just aggravated with Verizon's management. What's the point of paying for the number one network when they leave you hanging with junk software and useless phones that don't work on said network. Network quality is one thing, but Verizon is really behind when it comes to maintaining the devices that run on the network. This has been an ongoing issue with them for a while now and they act as though they don't care.
Amazingly fast performance. Haven't checked reboot yet. Battery still meh, but I haven't charge cycled. My WiFi seems to be having a little trouble, but the WAPs here are terrible, so it's not really a valid comparison. Updating apps no longer overheats the phone, so no more huge battery drain or extreme lag. SO MUCH FASTER!!!!!!! In all seriousness, though, I feel like this is a metaphorical slap in the face for all those reps who blamed our usage habits.
I got my update yesterday and I noticed something odd in the Advanced selection of Wi-Fi. If you scroll to the bottom you will see Auto connect. The odd thing about this setting is that it says "Automatically connect to AT&T hotspot when detected". Why would Verizon put this setting in?
