    crap crap,crap, why make such major changes to a product that wasn't broken but now totally stuffed, & for me as a business phone it is Totally useless, & what total rubbish about the security bit, that could have been fixed without reinventing the wheel. The phone is hampering my business so I will have to buy a new phone, LG is looking pretty good, will also be warning my friends not happy Samsung

            AnonD-672793, 28 May 2017sad to hear all these feedbacks. an update should not be so... moreI received the update notice on my phone and my husband showed me his phone after he uploaded the new software, well I chose not to update and my phone automatically after like a day or two uploaded the new software on its own anyway. I was not happy about this at all. Now my phone is slow.

                  Agree with the comments, hate this update and hate my phone now. Its cheap looking and i cant even see the stupid yellow screen for the calculator. Did someone get paid to think up this crap.

                      This latest update is a complete screw-up. First, it wouldn't register me on the network, making my phone useless. I got a new SIM card. Phone works but, I no longer get text/email notifications and when the phone rings, it only rings once. I have to hover over the phone. My Smartphone is suddenly Retarded. It seems as if Samsung is trying to put itself out of business. I want a new phone! I used to love Samsung but this is really testing my limits.

                        after latest update all sorts of things are worse
                        predictive text is even worse than before for changing perfectly good words
                        a few apps stopped working and others are being a pain in the arse starting up by themselves

                          Wish I'd looked on here before downloading the update. My Samsung phone which worked perfectly well before the download is now running really slowly, I am trying to upload photos to Facebook and 20 minutes later it still hasn't completed and the photo editor which was straightforward is now complicated and of poor quality. Why fix something that isn't broken Samsung ???

                                      - Better battery life thanks to the new-and-improved Doze Mode.
                                      - Revamped notifications.

                                        I don't mind the new look, but ever since I did the update my phone just turns off by itself. Also it could have over 70% and turn itself off, then when I turn it back on the battery is 5%. It only doesn't turn itself off when I connect the charger. Every time someone rings me it Rings once and then turns off. Seeing as I'm not due an upgrade till November and it would cost me £120 to upgrade now I'm not very happy.
