New 28MB update today

[morechoff]

For ATT it was 28MB update. I have not noticed any differences yet. Samsung Pay is still not active, but it could be rolling out in stages. A while back I remember Samsung saying they will be rolling out monthly security updates. I suspect this is the monthly security update since we got a larger update a few weeks ago.

My phone seems to load apps more smoothly.. That's about it

Which improvements did you see?

Haven't really noticed anything yet.
I already had the Samsung pay beta and it's still in beta mode. Battery seems the same today.

Getting the update now on AT&T. Samsung pay is so limited with support for such few banks no one I know uses the ones they support. If you still have to enter a pin number or code why bother with paying with your phone?

They should have more banks when it goes live.

Not sure about Samsung Pay, but I know with other tap and pay, I have to enter a PIN just like with my card. There are some good options for having it. First if you have a teen that has your card a lot, paying with your phone is great. Also the Marina at our lake place takes tap and pay and we can be out on the boat or walking down at the pier and I don't have to have my card, I can just use my phone.

I've been using Samsung Pay for about 3 weeks and have never used a pin or code, just my fingerprint, as it works similar to Apply Pay.

Yeah we have a family place at the lake and spend a lot of the summer there, only about an hour drive, so sometimes we halfway live at the lake during the summer.

Actually, with a couple days under my belt with the new ATT small update, I am getting even more screen-on-time!! Yesterday I got 7 hours while using Waze GPS for a 6 hour drive, watching youtube music videos, streaming some Amazon Prime music and browsing Facebook and Instagram. I'll post screen shots from my phone shortly but wow....13 hours total for yesterday and 7 of those the screen was on with heavy use of GPS and apps/data. That's pretty darn good if you ask me!

I just got the Sprint update too.

UPDATE:
It's only been an hour or so but I've noticed less ram being used. Normally my n5 runs at a consistent 2.9-3gb of ram used at all times but since the update it's around 2.5 gb. Could be just an anomaly but I'll keep checking.

Where do you check RAM usage?

Settings - application manager - running, it'll show the ram there or download an app for a quicker view, I use CCleaner

The only thing I noticed is that my battery life has gone to hell. From the day I got the phone it's been averaging about 3.5% per hour with about three and a half hours of SOT. Today it's at 7.5% per hour with only one hour of SOT.

Per Elixir, Security Storage has used 28% of the total CPU time. The next highest is Bluetooth at 8.4% and System UI is third at 5.3%. This sucks as I was really impressed with my battery life until this happened.

I didn't initiate the update nor could I prevent it's installation. Does anyone know if this is something I can turn off? I would rather control when I update my device's OS.

Did you do a reset or at least a cache wipe?

 

[pappy35]

Cache wipe. Didn't need it for the last update but I'm game. I did just reboot it and will wipe the cache next. I want to let it go a bit to see if that was effective first. Doesn't help trouble-shoot if one changes too many things at once...

Help refresh my memory as it's been a couple of years since I last played with rooting and other such stuff. How do I wipe the cache? Power, home and down volume?

Power, home, up volume. Down volume is for download mode.

It's seems to have settled down. Sometime the most obvious fix just sits there untouched until one gets a swift kick in the ***.
