Received my extended warranty replacement from Verizon. This is my third S4 over the last two plus years. WOW... after doing some adjustments recommended. .. the S4 is running smoothly!

Needed a replacement as my last S4 was losing 4G and WiFi signals and was burning through battery life rapidly.

After I received the newer S4, I did a Lollipop update followed by another update.

THEN... I did a factory reset and proceeded to load up apps and shortcuts and email protocols.

The S4 is performing far better than my previous two. I feel as if I truly have a new and improved phone.
 
Hey, I also updated my galaxy s4 to lollipop. But now no apps are running on background except fb. My Internet browser keeps reloading every time I go to any other apps.

I was told to do a complete factory reset, which is a pain in the you know what. Being that the phone is an extended replacement I did it. If it were not, I doubt if I would have updated to Lollipop.

These Google over the air updates are very dangerous to the health of an existing phone. Never had a positive experience on an existing phone.
