I tried this fix with both our phones and still have the same lousy battery drain issues with WIFI turned on, It seems very chatty and the phone gets hot after a while with WIFI on where it did not do this before the upgrade.I am seeing tons of people complaining about the same thing after the upgrade. I have a sprint Galaxy S5 which has not done the upgrade yet and is still working just fine.

Verizon needs to fix the WIFI bug or revert the software back.

Of course once I ran the cache clear there is no longer any backup copies of the old software to revert to. This is probably the goal of verizon so you have to upgrade your phone..

Every so called software upgrade in my experience has only hendered the performance of the phones lifespan.
