AT&T Upgrade Push

[Kyle Tate]

So woke up this morning and found a notification on front screen saying that upgrade was postponed. held it down for 3 seconds and found out that it was from AT&T. I already had lollipop 5. 0. 2, so couldn't figure out what they were upgrading. Didn't take longer than 10 minutes from download to installation to restart, but wondering if anyone knows what it was, or what kind of performance it was supposed to improve? Can't really tell anything different like on the S 5 when they just upgraded to lollipop 5. anyway, anybody else get this strange notification. Sure enough it said it was scheduled for 12 08 p.m. and that's exactly when it started. Thanks all!

I got the same update, it may be supposed to help with the memory leak that the phone was suffering from. There have also been some very minor changes, like when you change the resolution when you video record it tells you upfront what features you will lose when you record in the highest resolutions, whereas before it would be a pop up message when you selected them.

Edit: From another website

I wonder what "screen enhancement" specifically means.

When in edge clock mode my screen is now black. Before it was like it was just dimmed. Noticeable difference. Haven't seen anything else yet.

Thanks for the info, I may reactivate this now. Turned it off before because it was likely using more power since technically every pixel was on even though the screen was black.

Hey, you're right! The night clock is finally working. I was super bummed about that.

Other improvements I've noticed:

• Much better battery life
• The battery graph and estimation is actually accurate now
• Doesn't get laggy after being on for awhile
• snappier
• camera opens faster
• Android system and cell standby have calmed down. They used to always be the top battery users, but now they are below screen light. As things should be.
• Got rid of some stability issues. In particular I no longer get "(app) has stopped working" notifications all day.

Overall it was a welcome little update.

I found the fact that the night clock turned on the whole screen super annoying before so this is a welcome update for that reason alone.
