What's the new update? (not Lollipop)

[anon(9228075)]

I have a new update available. It's system version 21.44.12 and latest one we got in December that I have is 21.44.8

Anybody know what this does or affects?

Just some bug fixes, fixed i am guessing the stock email app fixes, and a update to the command center widget. The widget was not updating corectly.

A few are saying battery life is taking a nose dive after the update, so think I'll hold off for a bit.

I think it is too early to tell, but with that said my battery life is no worse and may be a little better.

No change in battery life for me. I'm not sure how the things in this update could really impact battery life.

My battery life IS better. If, I am to believe the GSam app. Basically, it's the same when using it, but standby power cut close to 50%. So, battery life is up about 25%. Nifty.

These updates will wipe the cache partition. Many people argue that doing so improves battery life, and if you are seeing better battery life after the update, you may be proving it.

It'll probably go back to normal after a few days. This seems to be a very minor update...

FWIW, I always do a cache wipe after OTA updates & did so with this one. I detect no discernable difference in my phone but then, had no problems beforehand either.

No change in battery life here either. Business as usual is seems.
Got update last night.

I'm not one to believe I get better battery life after updates but for some reason my battery is barely budging. I'm at 75% after 11 hours on and 2.5 hours screen on time. I watched an hour long show this morning too. Normally I would be coming close to 50%. We'll see what tomorrow brings I guess. Real or placebo?

Well the advanced calling still doesn't work.

If not in a perfect area I can't even make a call. I have 4 bars here at my house with lte listed at the top by my bars and can't make a call unless I turn it off.

I'd have it replaced - that's no bug, it's a defect. I have only 2 bars normally @ home & Advanced Calling works flawlessly including, video calls & simultaneous voice & data.

Mine will just say dialing... Then disconnect with the call time saying 0:00.

Maybe have Verizon replace your SIM card and see if it helps.


Also, the update seems to have fixed the delay in people hearing me/me hearing them while using VoLTE. This is great news! Volume seems louder too.

What these guys said. Advanced calling is working on any non-functioning phone and you don't have to be in a 4 bar LTE area. Problems as serious as those above are phone problems that can be addressed via the store or VZW replacement as a last resort.

My battery life tanked after I updated. My normal day leaves me with 60-70% of the battery left. The last two days since updating I had normal usage days but was left with 30-40% battery. I did a cache clear at the end of the first day but that obviously didn't fix anything. The last few days have been rather hectic so I haven't really given it much thought and didn't even connect it to the update until I read this comment.

How do you clear the cache?

With the new update I can no longer enter numbers into automated systems properly with HD calling on. I was attempting to enter a conference code into a conference call line today and it would duplicate number. So I would dial 1853451 and it would actually enter into the call line (when it read it back to me) 1885333445111
