          Why the hell samsung issues upgrade when they cant make it stable. Various apps crashes on their own while using packet data. Samsung sucks. It ruined my s4.

              Samsung sucks and they lie!!! They updated my phone without my permission, changes all my settings in text and how the phone accesses things. My phone is set to disallow all updates unless wifi is on. I KEEP WIFI OFF FOR THIS REASON!!! Who the hell can read white words on yellow background. Been through every setting button and NOWHERE can you change color or look of text messaging. What the hell Samsung??? Take back your ugly crap!!@!

                The restrict power options, did not work with my 24th on Verizon with KitKat 4.4.2
                Other things like turn off sdm notifications, etc.. Did not work
                What did work was too use DeBloater on my Windows laptop,
                Connect phone using usb debug mode
                Use DeBloater accesses the phone files and "block" various app/com files
                Fwupgrade.apk FWupgradeClient , softwareupgrade , SDM
                All the files with "Knox" in them , LocalFOTA,
                Unplug reboot phone, this immediately stopped, the annoying update reminder and timer, in fact if I go to software update, in settings, it will not open ,settings stops

                    Get that bugging "Lolipop update" out of the notification panel forever:
                    1: Make sure "AUTO UPDATE" and "update on wifi" is off.
                    2: Go to "Power saving mode" and check restrict background data and restrict performance.
                    3: Uncheck restrict background data and turn off restrict performance.
                    The update notification will go away and will not come back even if you restart your phone.
                    ENJOY
                    Thanks

I had to go back to factory settings, in doing so, my S4 updated. I want what I purchased, definitely not what it is now! And why is everything the color of depressing gray or nasty mustard? It makes me not want to even use it now. Is there some way to change the color?

                            Is there a way to downgrade at all? This update makes me feel really awkward using it for more then a few seconds and it's adding onto my existing anxiety..
                            Why would they make a update that looks like a out of date version of the previous one? ;(

                                      Really Samsung? This is the worst update yet they must be trying to drive customers to apple. Lollipop looks like a bad cartoon. Will be switching to an iPhone. Horrible update, anyway I can undo this?

                                        Grrr... ya so I can't browse Facebook for more than 10 seconds at a time then my phone closes me out. My home and locked screen wallpapers change by themselves twice a day now. When I click on a link when searching images I get redirected everytime now. I want my old format back!!!!!!!! THEY HAD NO RIGHT!!!! THIS UPDATE IS PURE GARBAGE, AND IT MAKES MY PHONE PRACTICALLY USELESS. Are they going to fix this????
