I sucks. The radios are trash. I swear Sprint is doing everything they can to make me jump. It's like 4.2 radios = great, 4.3 radios = decent, 4.4 radios = suck, 5.0 radios = miserable. Cellular AND wifi.
So I'm not the only one. I eagerly downloaded the OTA update a few days back, and my experience has been nothing short of miserable: Its terribly slow, my battery life is less than half of what it use to be, and to top it all off; my data connections are almost non existent, EVEN over WiFi when I am sitting 5 ft from my router.
Which phone are you talking about Sea Shadow? I've got a Sprint Gs5 and it works fine with the update. Only annoying thing I've found is that you can no longer mute the phone from the lock screen as easily. It also has music controls assuming your using the default player and have notifications set to show up on the screen. Battery life is better then before as well. Then again I don't have a ton of random app's installed on my phone.
