I thought i learned my lesson when i used to be an iphone user and started realizing that every single update slowed the phone down more and more.

2 years ago I switched to an android(Galaxy S4) and I've held off on updating my software for the most part and my phone has remained lightning fast with zero technical issues.

2 day ago I decided to let my phone udpated it self with the latest samsung/android update and now my phone has slowed down to a crawl. My phone literally takes about 3-5 seconds to react to any action i make on my phone now and is incredibly fricking frustrating.

Anyone else have the same issues? Any ideas for me?

OTA are never as good as a clean install. If possible you should root it, install safestrap, and install the stock rooted ROM (or one of the better ROMs).

For an easier option, try clearing the cache and rebooting

So?

I'm just pointing out all we get on here is bitching and moaning about how Apple updates are problems for older products. Then we see the same thing for Android --and you point that out and you're just a "Fan Boi".

I really wish there were auto-bannable posts. For instance:

compares iphone to android = banned

compares iphone to specific android phone = OK

compares iOS to all android OS = banned

compares iOS to specific android OS = OK

Any post by TigerGMan = banned

Not really. I'm just average joe on the street that has an older phone that is a Samsung brand and runs Android. I update it with the latest Google release and it goes to shite. Do I really care why? All I know is it runs like shite now and people don't pile on Samsung like they do Apple for it. Suddenly it's just the way it is. But before I bought a Samsung all I hear is how great a job Google does at backward compatibility. However no one tells me that's except for the world's largest Android phone maker...

Hey, frickface. If you had samsung you would not be able to update with google's latest release, only the one from Samsung for your specific phone on your specific carrier.

Even this average Joe would know this fact. So, quit trying to be cute and funny because you are just showing your stupidity, idiocy, and ignorance.

Man these substantive responses are off the hook these days.
Like I give a shite if you hate me.

Did the upgrade turn their Samsungs to crap or not?

It was not meant to be substantive.

You gave enough shite to respond. I'm glad it bothers you.

Did the upgrade to iOS 8 not turn old iPhones and iPads to crap as well?

You have tiny hands.
