Verizon 5.1.1

[pcbtmr]

I'm curious about the perceived improvements. Has anyone compared the current "improvements" of 5.1.1 with KitKat? Understandably, 5.0.1 was a very bad update and the current 511 is considered a vast improvement. I'm still on KitKat and phone is working great. Is 511 worth upgrading from KK?

Told ya! Now I just need a new battery and a factory reset and mine should be perfect.

You were right on bud.
I have an extra battery I slap in about 3 or 4 in the afternoon and keep on keeping on. Much better than charger chasing all day.
I'll definitely factory reset for marshmallow.

I don't have specifics. I just know I use mine all day every day and mine works better now.
No lags and stutters.
Better be ready to take care of what you open or type because she's on it much quicker now.

Are y'all getting OTA updates, or using Kies? I haven't received a notification via Verizon yet. Thanks, a bunch.

Have you checked for the update? I never got a notification.

I have checked several times, since I read here about the update. I just checked again, and it says "temporarily unavailable."

My phone was more responsive, less laggy and had slightly improved battery life when I updated and wiped the cache partition last week. Yesterday I factory reset the phone and it's even better.

Agree completely. Even if you do nothing other than update you'll probably see an improvement. Even better if you wipe the cache or do a factory reset.

Personally, I still prefer KitKat.

I logged in just to like this! LOL! Still on KK myself and it's still the bomb! My Note 10.1 (2014) is still on KK too. I'm going to leave both alone until I have no choice.

Smooth as silk, zero lag except for the photo gallery when opening from the camera

If I remember correctly, the lag from camera to gallery comes from a sync setting somewhere. Sorry, can't exactly remember which setting. Here's a demo I uploaded to Vimeo a while back. There is very minimal lag on my phone. I don't use the cloud, so there is no syncing on my phone. This is how my camera to gallery works all the time.

After this upgrade, I have this weird pop-up box with the name of the ring tone when someone calls me. It actually covers the answer or reject area so I can't select it.
Anyone else have this and find a workaround?

Has anyone else seen an improvement in memory management with 5.1.1?

Mine is better, but I've still seen it top out at 2.2GB or so.

Me too, and I seem to be able to only have 4-5 apps in memory at a time

I'll be buying a new battery from Anker soon and doing a factory reset. That should make it way better.

I never got the notification that there was an update. I had to manually go into settings and download it.

I love it. Battery life restored to KitKat quality and Bluetooth fixed
