Update on Verizon

[cdmjlt369]

I'm not a tech expert, but just wondering if anyone who is having issue pulling down the update has enabled art. Just a thought

So I am dumb. I have swipe to unlock, the shortcut only shows up if you have knock code or a pin set.

I use swipe to unlock and I have the camera icon available. Am I the only one who has had it available since I got the phone in July? This update didn't change and UI for me.

Are u rooted? I'm rooted and restored all bloat and still can't update. And never bothered with art

Tried to update twice and keep getting an error code on the beginning of the first step... Don't know if I will be able to update it.

The camera on the lock screen has always been available to me but I don't like having it there so I unchecked the box under settings.

Yeah I am rooted but people have been able to update with root and kept root. Same should be with me.

Rooted, downloaded update with no issues. The good news, you're not missing anything unless you really want the camera access from your lock screen.

So any noticeable performance improvements? I'm waiting for my wife to get home from work to update hers.

I'm rooted, xposed and tweaksbox running, all three survived the update. I know I shouldn't have taken it, looks like I got lucky.

Maybe slightly, but my be placebo effect. No bugs so far though

The update makes the camera available on secure lock screens as well, not just swipe to unlock

More stable and stronger signal quality

I also am unable to update. I rooted my phone awhile back and I did it to get the Weather Effects on the Lock Screen. I honestly do not know much about rooting at all, so just followed some directions at the time and apparently was successful in my root as I did get the Weather Animations working.
Is there a simple way to unroot ones phone?
Honestly I do not even need to have a root as truly all I did it for was the Weather Animations, and would rather just have a phone I can update when updates are available.
I am even fine with starting over if that is what is needed.
Any advice how to get it back to factory settings is appreciated.
TIA,
DL

Verizon also said, "bug fixes and whatnot" so maybe there were performance enhancements but since I use Nova, it's been lag free from the beginning. Hopefully a battery fix? Not that it desperately needs a battery fix, but further battery optimization would be nice considering 3,000mAh discharges quicker than one would think running the screen on 4G for a few hours.

I found a guide how to unroot my phone. I cannot post a link to it here since I do not have 10 posts, but seems pretty legit. Some site called androidrootz.com. If someone can just confirm if that site is legit it would be appreciated. Going to do it over the weekend as I am on a Macbook right now and it can only be done in a Windows comp and quite frankly I do not want to start such an endeavor until I have a few hours to kill just in case.
Thanks.

No, I have had the camera icon on the lock screen since I got the phone in July as well. I haven't done the upgrade yet.

Did you by chance rename any files?

 

[Trifi83]

Anyone know if this update fixes the camera app crashing when you zoom while recording video?

 

[rockets95]

Handful of issues that the update seems to fix:
- Calendar widget is much smoother. It used to always reload when you scroll to different days.
- Signal switching from 3g to 4g is much faster.
- Overall performance seems to have improved.
- BT connect between different devices seems to be better.

Another off topic thing I noticed is the software update download didn't count against my data limit. Pleasant surprise.
