    Literally makes all my apps lag and crash. I've tried everything to figure out what happened in between the past week tht would've done this and it seems others are having the same issue. I've deleted all apps re-downloaded etc etc. And they're still so laggy, as in I'll click on something and about 5-8 seconds later it Will register and that's if it doesn't force closes on itself.

    The phone was working just great. It is just when you get updated from Google and also installed unknown apps on the phone that make phones act different. I believe customer should be notified by the developer that just an item is ready, and you should have a choice to want it or refuse 😉 the app. This should not be apply as a one app fit all. Some do and some don't work as stated 🙄. So why's not give customer the chance to choose. You're not loosing any money. But it challenge you...

    I have a lot of malfunctions that seem caused by programs from different companies. Also, I don't understand a lot of the technical terms and am afraid of accepting "updates" because a lot of so-called updates are often changes that I don't like and create problems with searching, emails and sharing. What I need is phone-based one-on-one support that is always available. Microsoft used to provide access to live technicians for the cost of a long-distance charge (remember?).
