New OTA impact thread - please report in

[mrtonk]

Please post regarding your experience with the following items after the update:
- Initial impressions
- Reboots
- Reliable data connection

We are aware that Verizon is adding bloat. Let's try not to repeat ourselves regarding that point.

It would be useful if we kept this stuff in one thread.

My GPS was fine before the update, now it seems to report me in a different location everytime I open up google maps. It's not the same location everytime, but they are all within about 2 miles of my actual location.

Shryne, do you run any of the GPS fixing apps? GPSFix or GPS Status? If not, does running them help your issue?

 

[kaufmansm]

no issues here so far.

I have a new 3G icon and my free hotspot is now dead. I really wasn't using it or expecting to cheat them, I just think that the only reason we got this update is to kill the hotspot on the phones that still had it. Anyway, I also noticed a significant decrease in signal (at home I usually get 4 bars, now I only get one) and my GPS still takes to 5 minutes lock.

I'm not really surprised at all. :-\

Also post if it killed your mobile hotspot please. Thanks..

Nope, I'll try them

Feels just like the original leaked MR2. Amazing.

I also have Rockband now too. Another program that will never get used.

Not noticing much difference except for not picking up 4g like I was. May just be an anomaly though-

Lost free hot spot, GPS locks in less than 5 sec, before would take minutes. Same amount of bars as before in my house 2. So far no reboots. Everything seems fine.

 

[anon(367661)]

so far my Tbolt seems ok. I cant kill the VZWService that appeared

 

[dmatta22201]

Lost my hotspot (don't really use it though). GPS was able to fix my location in under 1 minute (used to take about 3). Phone is running faster overall without any other changes. Let's see how many times it reboots in the next day (was up to four or five times a day)...

 

[ben71r]

So far so good. I noticed a different 3G icon. Will give it a couple of days to see if the reboots stop and if the battery life improved.

I find my phone extremely fast after this update- Like my phone was released from bondage

 

[bontjes]

Anyone else noticing a signal decrease? I literally am down to 1 bar where I usually have 4.

 

[ambushbug73]

I wasn't having any issues to begin with, so far the same after updating. 4G signal strength is the same inside my hope. Never really used the GPS so I'm not sure how well it worked before, trying to lock on the the GPS in my living room it just keeps looking.

 

[Shryne]

Well, GPSfix fixed my GPS issues.

As for the rest of the features, Mobile hotspot is gone, but I use Easytether instead anyway, as it charges my phone through my laptop.

The LTE to CDMA toggle works just fine.

Won't know anything about the reboots for at least a day or 2.
