Verizon S5 (US) OTA now available

[Drunder40]

Was wondering if anyone that has that severe battery drain issue has downloaded and installed this update to see if it fixes the battery drain issue.

Update notes do not specifically say it fixes battery drain issues but ya never know..

I can't see that it has effected battery life either way. better or worse.

Personally, I can't see how it would with the changes they talked about.

For me, the phone works just like it did before the update.

This OTA update fixes the Android Fake ID vulnerability. See here:

'Fake ID' and Android security [Updated] | Android Central

There's a free app called Bluebox Security Scanner which tests for that vulnerability and now shows the S5 as patched.

It has not helped with battery or the occasional lag and unresponsiveness.. I've got a week left to solve or return...

Regarding battery drain, I suggest you install Wake Lock Detector to see if something is preventing the phone from sleeping.

Does anyone know if it breaks foxfi? I'm currently on 4.4.2 with foxfi working.

On a related note, any way to disable the auto updates and nag screens on a non-rooted phone? TIA

This doesn't work anymore if you aren't rooted and using kitkat.

No it does not. foxfi still works
