I just got it, still on 5.1.1. Looked for anything related to wifi calling, but didn't see any new apps or settings in the dialer app.

Unless you want VR bloatware DO NOT install it

How do you prevent it from installing? Every time I connect to WIFI it starts automatically downloading.

Get the app Package Disabler Pro. It is super easy and safe. I'll post a screen shot of the AT&T updater disabled.

Starting this morning it kept on giving notification to install and I kept ignoring it. When I got home my phone automatically shut down and updated! I haven't notice any difference so far.

I did notice that when it restarted after new update it was in a screen that said "optimizing apps" for a long time. It even had the number of apps I had and a progress of how many apps it's optimized... did anyone else get that?

Battery life doesn't seem to be as good after the update.

I have always gotten that optimizing app screen from my s3, s5,note 4 up til now

Think it will fix the Samsung keyboard issue that keeps it from constantly switching back on? That would be sweet.

Yup, I already had the write on PDF app. And I've been running Android 5.1.1. My phone is still rebooting, currently says "Android is upgrading... Optimizing app 85 of 200"

Hope this one has some good bug fixes =)

Just got the update a few hours ago and now my battery is draining 1% every minute. At this point, my battery is going to be dead by the time I leave work tonight!
