    Anyone else notice the VZW Lollipop update added Download Booster?

    Anyone else notice the VZW Lollipop update added Download Booster?

    Yes, it works for me, however I find it disconcerting that sometimes the icon is greyed out, and other times it is completely gone. It does "light up" when actually being used, and noticeably cuts download time.

Hands free calling is fine through the car audio, in fact when I am in a call, the nav directions DO go to the car audio. Any suggestions? BTW, this is...

    Aloha, Using the normal S5 phone keypad (not "emergency call") I made a 911 call. A dialog box popped up with options...one was something about callback mode; I do not recall the other, which is the choice I made at the time. Sometime after making the call, I noticed the phone was unusually...
