This update did nothing to improve performance, or add anything new that i found useful at all! Forced more apps to be uninstall, because of the update size, it made this s5 smg-900v phone use default force fix theme setting changes of tacky sold bright simple colors that use more battery power from the highest lighting led Image, which made the phone screen outlook feel more cheap as the older free phones sold in the market. I see more crash prompts of apps then ever, the window tabs of Web page's are now stacked in no category order, mixed with app images not of the browser web pages, like chrome. Phone ID image tags have circle bubble, none of these features or reversible or given as a optional appearance settings. Same classic idiocracy of mixing all file types together, when using a vid app, it plays every file of video, with no folder setting play option, same with audio., the only actual improvement i noticed was the highlighting copy-cut-past. These should have been optional, not inevitable.
