Sprint Marshmallow

Anyone know how to disable the "swipe to unlock" on the lock screen. I still want my phone locked but I want to immediately be able to enter my pattern when waking the phone up...not swipe, then enter my pattern.

Things I've noticed so far:

Very smooth experience
No weather on the lockscreen
Fingerprint scans faster
Animation when placing on the wireless charger
I can't remove the labels on icons
Sprint is in the top left corner of the homescreen
New screen on animation
Better keyboard
Changes to the email and internet app
App drawer appears slightly modified
 
The update downloaded to my wife's phone late last night. Unfortunately we have not seen any features yet. We are actually having issues.
1. It will not open up the messenger app
2 the battery went from 100% to 54% in 20 minutes
3. The update seems to be hiding or running in the background. It may take all day for to complete the update

Sounds like she needs a factory reset.

Add that on incoming calls the majority of the screen is blue instead of the green which I'm thankful for.
 
One suggested improvement is that in phone/log there should be a different icon for incoming missed calls when the caller hangs up and when the caller left a voicemail. As it is now, i have to switch between phone and voicemail several times to determine which callers have left voicemails

Downloading right now Sprint has great prices, call quality, data speed and always first with updates. Very pleased can't wait to give it a try.
 
Does anybody know how to get the microphone icon back on the Samsung keyboard after the update?

Nevermind, I figured it out. For anyone else who wants to know, long press the emoji icon and choose the microphone from the pop up menu.
 
Updated mine today. Notification bar at the top says "Sprint" all the freakin' time now. Yay.

Keyboard seems better.

But one new feature with Marshmallow, apparently its not an option to not have a permanently selected default browser. Oh, you CAN clear the default, but it will just set it the next time you choose which browser to handle a link. Gawwwwwwd Google, what is this BS???? I LIKE being able to choose Firefox sometimes to handle my links you flipping morons! You ALWAYS find idiotic ways to **** me off with new "features" that nobody needs. Stop screwing up my phone and MY choices with your obnoxious UI experiments.
 
Downloading now. Looking forward to seeing whats inside. Kinda like a prize in the bottom of the cereal box way back in the day. :D
 
Not sure what your talking about, no "sprint" in my notification bar....
