[killajoe]

No problem with the update here.. what's tgr differences between the desktop version and the mobile one?

I did a hard reset and it is very smooth now. The phone states I have the latest update. The wifi toggle was there at first, but now has disappeared. Weird.

I'm going to vent here a little. I don't see this is as a "major update." To me, a major update is upgrading from one OS to the next, like going from Gingerbread to ICS or from ICS to Jellybean. An update of this type should simply NOT require the ass pain of a factory reset. I've received several updates to my Asus Andriod tablet and they have all worked just fine without the need for anything other than a hard reset. I've had this phone for less than a month and am already starting to get tired of the idea of needing to perform a factory reset for a minor update.
All of us who have been around the android block more than once know it takes about a half a day to restore your device to the way you had it before performing a wipe. It simply shouldn't be necessary.

I just wiped mine a week ago due to the advice the moron at the vzw store gave me. If he had taken 30 seconds to look up my account he would have seen the problem was with my acct, not the phone
Now I have to do it again

It was a Trojan horse with apps2sd as the horse. The soldiers in the horse killed Root. The rest of the changes were to fix glitches and not real performance improvements.

I guess the horse was also carrying placebos

Though it wasn't a change from one OS to another, chances are this update did update the framework quite a bit in order to re-enable a setting Google had and then got rid of. Those types of changes tend to require resets. I don't know how experienced you are with custom roms, but rom developers strongly recommend resetting every time you flash one, even if it's an update. Not doing so can create problems, and taking an ota is no exception.

I also did a factory reset, doing a factory reset also exposes the WiFi settings toggle in the drop down menu.

Both of my previous android devices were rooted, so I would consider myself reasonably experienced. Moving from GB to ICS on my last device did require a reset, and I fully understood why. Interestingly, the move from ICS to JB did not require a reset.

I'd be much less tweaked about this were it not for the fact that I've only had this phone for four weeks as of yesterday, and finally have it set up just the way I like it. The prospect of having to do all of that all over again has me about as excited the thought of my next dental appointment.
