            So far so good..... I was wondering when this might have happened, so I guess the 4 and 4s is dropping next

              If you do the marshmallow update on the Idiot 3, and you have AT&T, you will lose any data connectivity through AT&T. You can use WIFI, and make calls, just no internet on AT&T. They admitted they caused a problem with the update, when I called in to support, but their only potential solution is to do a complete factory reset. That's their solution to any software problem they caused. Been dealing with this since last August. No more.

                        The update will make its way to all Idol 3 devices sooner or later. Just be patient. I received mine today and so far it has been a huge improvement.
