I am firmly convinced that there is someone at
Verizon whose sole job in life is to find new ways of p*ssing their customers off!
1. Non stock, Verizon's ersatz version of Lollipop firmware. See
#1.6 of
40 Galaxy S5 models - Dummies Guide 2. More added bloatware/cr*pware than any other S5 model on the planet.
3. Locked bootloader that cannot be rooted.
4. Less bugfix updates than stock Samsung models.
5. Forced OTA updates with no ability to refuse or reject.
I am sure there is more.
Verizon's policy seems to be... "
Hey! You're getting a heavily subsidised phone... so quit yer whining!"
Slogan should be... "
We don't care... 'cos you don't matter!"
For more information, see the Dummies Guide mentioned in item
#1. It starts with the sentence...
"
Think that everyone's Samsung Galaxy S5 is the same as yours...
Think again! "
