This morning I woke up to a notification of a new update for my GS4. I'm not sure what's new since I'm at work and haven't been able to check it.

I hope it fixes problems that many people are experiencing.

I got it a couple weeks ago I didn't have the Google services battery drain any longer but now I'm having other battery drain issues with Samsung watch on and a lot of app crashing

I'm in Austin and I have not gotten that update i'm still MJA version.

Sorry to hear that.
So far the only thing I've noticed is that I don't have the problem where my Galaxy S4 would not connect automatically to known Wi-Fi networks.

Ok now I'm upset! This darn update messed up the roaming on my phone.

Now if you go to Settings, More networks, Roaming, Roaming network, you'll see it's set to Home only.
If you swith to automatic it'll revert to home only after a little while!

I would really love that Wifi fix, it is driving me bonkers. At least I work in an area that has good 4g during the day so it's not that big of a deal, but dang I need my wifi back..

I'll keep an eye out for the update and hope that it comes soon, I also agree the phone went downhill big time after this last update.

Since you still have the MJA version. Could you check the roaming and verify it was working on that version?

As far as I can tell my roaming works, I live in Austin so there is pretty much coverage everywhere. I went into roaming settings changed them up a bit but I did not notice any changes.

So if you do the following👇

Now if you go to Settings, More networks, Roaming, Roaming network,
Is yours on automatic?
If not, set it to automatic and check later today if it stays there.

With the new update it'll revert to home only! 😡😠
