Re: s5 lollipop update and draining the battery and slowing my phone down?

I worked with Verizon and they have my S5 working like new again. I'm

back to 30 hours of battery life (from the 4I had been getting after the

upgrade).

The trick is to run the Software Repair Assistant. When you plug your

phone into your computer, it will load a program and when it runs,

select the SRA and it will back up, wipe and reinstall Lollipop, and

then replace your photos and contacts. You'll still be using Lollipop,

but it will be working the way it was supposed to. I love my S5 again!

Fast, stable and with a battery that outlasts everyne elses by far. Go

for it!
