My phone recently did a dance where it was on then off then on wifi about 10 times over the course of a few minutes. I turned wifi of and turned it back on and it connected fine. I'm also having a persistent issue where my SmartThings app no longer works as a sensor that indicates when I'm home. It worked fine until immediately after the upgrade.
Any ideas?

I would suggest removing the wifi connection, reboot and set the wifi connection up from scratch again.

Yikes, 10 times is quite some time to jump on and off the wifi. We are on the scene and eager to help. When did you complete the update to your phone? Are you still experiencing the issue where the phone disconnects (you previously mentioned that it did eventually connect)? Can you tell me more about the SmartThings App issue that you're having, is your application up to date?

I am still having the issue. After further evaluation, it looks like the
SmartThings issue is related to the wifi issue. So, if we solve the wifi
problem, the other should also get resolved.
I upgraded on the evening of March 7th. Basically, whenever I first get in
to range of the wifi it will attempt to connect. It will usually connect to
the wifi, but say there is no internet connection. Then within a minute or
so, it will disconnect from the wifi and then try again. Sometimes it will
connect successfully after only a couple of attempts, but others it will
take many attempts. One it is connected successfully (with internet access
through the wifi) it will then stay connected just fine.
I have other devices on this wifi and they aren't having this issue. Also
this issue started happening immediately after the upgrade was complete.
Let me know if there is any other information I can provide to help solve
this.
Thanks.

I'm not having WiFi issues, but there are definitely other issues that have started happening on my phone with this update. I can no longer use the Android share function to share content to other apps. On attempts to do so, the Android System UI crashes. Additionally, attempts to email something from an app also crashes the Android System UI. This is extremely frustrating as these are core, critical functionalities. I have tried clearing the system cache to no avail. Last resort is a factory reset, but this seems drastic considering this was supposed to be a minor security update. Any help here would be appreciated.

The "other issue" I'm having with 24.91.5 update is that my smart watch app is no longer allowed to communicate with my smart watch. The app no longer finds the Bluetooth of the watch. I checked settings on the phone, I think it is ok. I checked the watch with a different phone, it is fine.
Does anyone have a suggestion for fixing this or did Verizon's update just make my watch worthless?
I did reinstall the app, restart the phone and the watch.
