Galaxy Note 3 Verizon: Lollipop Update

[Clocks]

Anyone else's signal significantly worse? My phone is constantly dropping to 1X now and it never comes back to 3G or 4G without enabling/disabling airplane mode. I factory reset after the update. My signal didn't used to be good on KitKat but it would at least stay in 3G at the worst.

You can try gently tightening the screws under the back cover.

Haven't done anything but install the update and things are going smooth for me. Battery life is noticeably better too.

Normally at that time, the battery would be at about 50%.

So 5.0 is installed. Cleared cache a couple times, did a soft reset, then turned off the phone and let if charge fully after playing with settings.
Age a few days i can say: Runs great, takes longer (and gets hot!) to charge, and battery is better.
Wish Google, Samsung, and VZ would let us the consumer weigh in Before it's decided what gets changed, altered, deleted, or left out on the updates though - WTH! I know it's a joke... Anyway it's taking awhile to get used to the lack of 2x2 widget for the Samsung Cal, lack of the Action Memo widget (merged with S note), and color of Samsung Keyboard.
Peace

Sounds like your update has gone well! Mine, not quite so!
I would like to ask, what is a "Soft Reset"?? Maybe that's what I need to do! I've cleared the cache partition several times.Thanks for your input!

I try to check for updates and it keeps telling me service temporary unavailable. Idk what to do. I factory reset it even!

Hold the home button and then push task manager.

Thanks, so what's considered a ridiculous amount of ram and which app/service/whatever do you want me to report on?

Maybe their server is working overtime rolling this out?

At the advice here, I downloaded Kies and did a backup first.

I downloaded and installed the updates. Mine seemed to hang on the Red Verizon screen a long time but I have a lot on my phone. I was almost to the point of forcing a shutdown and rebooting. I'm glad I did not, as it finally got past it and completed the install. I did not clear cache, or even remove the micro sd card. I will try it today. It already seems to use a bit more battery but it may also have changed some of my settings to default ones for frequency in checking mail. I will return and edit this post after a bit of experience with it.

As posted already, Foxfi still works.

Is there another way to get to Settings in lollipop aside from the app itself? When in the Touch Wiz it's gone from the left button. I have to have Nova Launcher set to get to System Settings from the left button.

Pull down for the Notifications screen, hit the gear icon in the top right corner.

I woke up to the new update!

 

[jazaddict]

Anybody know why my media volume just auto-reduces to zero? Just started since the update while earbud listening to soundcloud. Its fine for an hour or 2,then it starts doin the zzzzzzzz-mute thing. Really annoying.

Better battery here.

Hey Man sorry to hear that... with phone on and no apps open do I battery pull. Then try one more cache clear while starting up. Good luck.

Google Search is not returning any results. Just started this morning. Anyone else having this issue?

I have powered off, pulled battery, cleared cache on App Manager for Google Search. Nada.

Just tried Google, working here. Try clearing your cache partition. Sorry, can't manage to copy the url on my phone so search the boards for this or use a different search engine.

 

[rexxman]

Thanks Shaggy.

I got it working again by App Store, Google Search, Uninstall Updates to System App then Update.

Weird. But, it's working again.

Same thing here. Out of all of the phones I've owned this probably has the worst radios. The rest of the update went fine.
