The Marshmallow Mistake (or was it?)

[JakeM80]

Updated my S5 to Marshmallow 6.0.1 yesterday, as T-Mobile DEMANDED.

All things considered, I think the update went pretty well, and there's only these two little errors my phone is having. They aren't terrible, in the grand scheme of things, but I'm worried they could be indicative of larger problems with my phone and the update. It would give my OCD-focusing brain a lot of comfort if somebody here could solve the issues for me...

Okay, so, here we go:

Problem the 1st: The Notification Panel's "Quick Setting Button" lineup can't remember my edited order for the buttons. It's always putting "Screen Rotation" in the 1st column, and I keep replacing it with "Airplane Mode", which I use a lot more often. But, then, the second I reset my phone "Screen Rotation" is back in the Top 5. I really can't figure what could be causing this, and worry it's a sign of a deeper issue with the phone remembering changes. Here's hoping that's not the case.

Problem the 2nd: There's an application called "Samsung Voice Recorder" that refuses to update. It will download the update, and attempt to install it. But then it goes right back to being un-updated. I've cleared Google Play's cache and attempted a re-install, but to no effect. And my worry here is that a file in this specific program got installed wrong during the update.

I feel like I sound paranoid. But when I went through the last major update my S5 freaked out and basically got bricked. It became a $600 paperweight until I got a new one, thankfully.
So, yeah, I'm probably being a little crazy here, but honestly any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Please help set my mind at ease.

Thank you for reading,
Jake

I came here to see if anyone else had these issues too. Looking around the Internet, it appears to be an issue only for us Tmo s5 users. The voice recorder app seems to be gone today, but that rearranging of the notification buttons is driving me crazy. If you find a fix, please post it here.

Yes, "Problem the 2nd" seems to have sorted itself out. But "Problem the 1st" is still very annoying.

I haven't found any solution, yet, to the issue of the notification buttons resetting every power down. But here's a T-Mobile support page that shows others having the same issue. Maybe if we, and anyone else that experiences this same issue, sign on and write about it on the page somebody will do something?

That kind of behavior with the buttons resetting is indicative of a temp file permissions issue and it should be a simple fix, but then T-Mobile has to figure out how to push it our to those already upgraded. As with 'Problem the 2nd' it will probably resolve itself.

If the update is indeed correct, then I'd suspect a glitch in the update itself and you've got an old default setting hanging around from the previous version. You might try booting into recovery and wiping the system cache. If that doesn't fix it, as with any major upgrade, a full factory reset is recommended. (and don't forget to backup first!)
