Immediately noticed the addition of the Verizon Cloud App/Bloatware

 

noticed I drop more calls

 

The only real difference I noticed was with a Skype update, apparently done at the same time --- had to redo some of the settings, plus remove Microsoft ads. No noticeable effect on RAM or storage, the phone's the same, and everything seems just as fast. As long as it doesn't affect performance, I just ignore the bloatware.

 

For those of use using FoxFi/PDANet for mobile hotspot, it hosed it somehow. Phone doesn't even broadcast hotspot let alone permit connection. I left a message at software website but haven't heard anything. Looks like it needs to be update, also, at the FoxFi app side.

 

I have noticed a slight decrease in battery life. I have experienced one of only about four days that I have had to charge my phone before the end of the day already. I don't have any data but I pay close attention to graphs and stats with GSAM and its drawing more since the upgrade.
