            KttKat 4.4.2 Update has RUINED MY PHONE!!!!!!! I can not believe Sprint pushed this update out and has not released a patch to fix the issues or provide an option to roll back the operating system.

            Since the update I have experienced a myriad of horrifying changes and problems including:

            - Battery drain
            - Lock screen time widget not updating with current time
            - Several apps missing after the update

            I could live with these issues, albeit a nuisance these are at least things I can work around, however now onto the absolutely heinousness of the situation.

            - screen does not turn on at all many times throughout the day when I go to use it
            - when the screen does actually turn on it is incredibly laggy and often completely unresponsive
            - other times the screen won't turn on but the bottom buttons will illuminate, I eventually end up having to pull the battery and resetting the phone
            - oh and have I mention my SD card is now corrupt and completely rendered useless
            - network connections are unstable - I often loose network connectivity throughout the day and receive error messages
            - screen locks up constantly while trying to scroll the my Facebook newsfeed or Internet pages
            - several apps crash/force close'
            - unable to place a call because the screen locks up

            Now for the icing on the cake - I lost all phone audio this evening leading me to preform a hard rest and restore the phone to factory settings. We'll see what happens but from what I've read on the other forums this factory reset is only a temporary fix to a MUCH BIGGER ISSUE.

I'm really planning to get a Grand 2 here in our country (Philippines) because of it's screen size. It's not too big and not too small either but one thing that holds me back is that it's still on 4.3 JB. Please tell me if you've received the KK update. Thank you very much.
