Verizon to release Major Software Update

[Bebusy]

I tried to swipe to call and it didn't work. Glad I'm not the only one. This update wasn't worth the problems it's causing.

Anyone notice the quick replies are now gone on the incoming call screen now?

I did not notice this but I will look next time I have an incoming call. If it is gone that is a bummer. I used them on a regular basis.

Please help! I got my update on my S3 and for the 2nd day in a row, I have to plug my phone in to charge it by 7pm. I have never had to do this before since I owned my S3 (when it was first released). Usually I have about 20-30% battery life left by the time I go to bed at midnight!

I have turned off the called ID and uninstalled it and turned off the dual screen mode. I have the battery saver mode activated like usual too. Any other suggestions? I am thinking of calling VZW tomorrow to see if they have any other thoughts but I have a feeling they won't. The sad thing is that I use my phone lightly AND I have been getting ready to pass it down to my daughter, who has a Nexus and has very short battery life. I have been telling her how much better the S3's battery is (she uses the phone much more as a typical teenager). Now I am worried that she will not be able to make it past 1pm with this phone either! UGH. I am so upset.

Try an app called Juice Defender it really helps with increasing standby time

You are not alone. Same thing here, and I don't want to install another program just to monitor the battery.

The other thing to check is your network. It reset mine to global. I know with the last update when they activated the global mode it really messed with battery life. Try setting it back to LTE/CDMA/EVDO mode to see if it helps I did this last night and will report of it helps again like it did with the last update.

I get no 4G at work or no signal at all now. The volume decreased to almost 50% since the update. My 4G signal is now bipolar. Not good

Anyone notice when you open the camera now, it takes much longer before you can actually take a picture?

 

[Bebusy]

Anybody getting any word from Verizon or Samsung as to a fix for the data and other issues this pos update has given us?

I removed the app from the link inside the app, then noticed it was still in applications list so I had to disable it also.

Dang it! I wish I had not installed the update. I am sooooo mad now. I am at 25% battery right now and it's only 3pm and I have BARELY used my phone. I changed the global network to CDMA, thank you for suggesting drmaf. I rebooted the phone after and it has def not helped. I also uninstalled a bunch of little games (Tetris, Tiny Tower) even though I have had those on my phone forever and hardly play them and I had fine battery power beforehand even with them installed. Basically I now have almost nothing installed except Amazon Kindle! What a joke.

I can't believe I am not going to be able to make it through my days anymore with this phone. AAAAAAAH! I am so furious right now.

Oh and of course I called Verizon and guess what they suggested? Just what they ALWAYS suggest when there is an issue with a cel phone. Clean wipe the whole thing and reinstall everything. ARGH. They seriously have never given me any other help. Not even on level 2 tech support. Good grief!
