Okay - seems like common issues. HELP!

I'm an IT Spec that has TESTED cell phones for govt agencies before..I KNOW MY WAY AROUND PHONES AND OSs!

I've called tech support...been elevated...tried EVERYTHING!

I have no extra apps on phone, checked "battery usage by apps" - I have no games, no music, nothing on my phone -

just pictures and the same (paid for) screen saver that I had all before the update hit.

The tech guys have even scanned me. (AND I'm using the anti-virus software for the web)

Ever since the lollipop push my battery dies almost hourly. My phone is so hot it almost burns my face while talking.

It lags, freezes, "processes fail" and I'm talking MESSAGING AND PHONE CALL PROCESSES...not facebook or other 3rd party stuff.

I have tried safe mode. I have tried factory reboot. I have tried EVERYTHING.

When are you guys going to FIX THIS?

I used to love this phone! Now I'm lucky if I can get the camera up in time to take a picture - forget about even TYPING a message.

The KEYBOARD can't even keep up with me anymore - and I use ONE HAND!

Other providers have pushed out updates for other phones and I hear it's helping...when are we going to get ours?

Here's my MAIN complaint...

The G4 is out and my G3 STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY MONTHS AGO!!!...yet I'm stuck with it!!!

well it's not long - long... only if you want to keep all of your data and move it all back to your phone without using "the cloud" or going to the store and trusting them. As you can see from my background...I don't trust server farms with my info 😞

And I don't trust that you know how to restore your phone. Goes both ways. Background or no background.

Surely you're kidding! I do not plan on going through all those steps. I just want my device to behave as it did before the update. When will the patch be sent???
