Not you buddy. The other guy that said he wasn't having any problems. That's why I quoted him.
I have the same issue. I've been flashing back the stock rom installing my purchased software then updating , then rooting the phone. but once I reboot that last time. a couple disappear for good.
When I first got my Hero a few weeks ago wanted to download the imeem app because I'd heard it was really good. No matter what I did I couldn't find it in the Market. This is before the MR update. So I don't think your problem is the MR update itself but that Google removed some apps from the Market and you simply didn't notice it until after the update.
what is the benefit of the update. i have seen none. i may goto the fresh rom with no mr update. i also heard of people having problems with bluetooth streaming after update. so as far as i can see the mr update is more trouble that its worth. am i correct..

From what I've heard the MR update bluetooth issue is a problem with the custom roms. Folks who've updated non-rooted devices are working fine.
I'll be able to confirm this is a little. Just wiped back to 1.29, ran the MR update and re-rooted.
As for the MR being more trouble than it's worth...It's supposed to fix a memory leak and SMS battery drain issue. Those are pretty big. I'll update once I know more re BT audio streaming.
well i have to find a place to get my apps back. i bet its missing half of mine i paid for and atleast that many that i didnt. that is a big issue to me more than issues i was having before.
I just found this:

Looks like we'll be waiting for a fix to fix our broken fix!
its not just paid apps. ebuddy isnt onthere and its free. imusic is gone. and some otheres.
Here is what you have to do to get them back.
You have to go back to Sprints Original Rom before the update. It will un-root the phone, but big deal we love messing with this stuff anyway. After you are back to the first software version, go to the market and download and install all your apps paid or free. You can then do one of two things. You can either root the phone now and use Root Explorer to save your paid for apps on your SD card then start the process over, or you can then upgrade to the MR. Once I did that my apps were still in the market, but I went the long route just in case. Now you can root the phone and do a nandroid Backup which should have all your paid apps there in case they go away again. I have mine safe on my SD card now so if they do go away I can install them anyway.

UPDATE: Bluetooth streaming is working on stock Sprint rom with MR update. Apps are missing for the App Store though.
...and I'm not sure Sprint is to blame for this. Seems that the Eris is also not showing paid apps.

It suggests it's a copy protection issue.
Hello guys, im the developer of Root Call Blocker, an advanced call and SMS blocking app for rooted phones.
The app is currently in open beta here at XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051274
I dont have a Desire and need testers! Please let me know if you are interested in some hard-core testing and logging...
Updated, let me know if your issues are fixed please!
Hi guys, any feedback on the latest version of the app? We are just about to release an update...
Its working very well. Surely a must-have for rooted phones.
Good to know - any feedback? Suggestions?
In any case, outstanding issues have been fixed. Please update to 1.5.5 and let me know if your issues are solved. Its important we get some feedback guys!
Im on 159 and its been working flawlessly for a month or so!
We have just made lots of additions, Update please if you havent already please!
1.6.2 is the latest build!
App has been updated! Let me know if it fixes issues youve been having please!
This is awesome!
Enjoy... and remember, an update is always just around the corner! If you have problems, use "Write to us" in Settings!
Could you guys please test the following behavior for me:
1. How the app behaves when a blocked number attempts to connect during call waiting
2. How a blocked caller is handled when "Dont answer" is set as the reject method and you are currently on the phone and have not enabled blocked call vibrate notifications within the app itself
Dont forget to send logs with descriptions as well
Come on people, i really need some feedback on this!
Nothing to report then?
Nope - no news is good news
Thanks, could you please test the behavior i described above?
Come on, i need feedback!
Hows it going guys? Any issues?
Guys, an update has been rolled out. It contains an important new workaround thast needs to be tested.
It may help those people who have data issues, especially on LTE enabled phones sometimes.
Please help me test this by installing the app, rebooting and waiting for data to return with the screen on. Please wait 3 minutes at least before sending logs via "Write to developer" in the app.
Dont forget to include a description. Thanks!
ill install it tom,will post findings shortly
Recently after last update i've got very annoying problem. At moments video is pausing but voice is still going. Doesn't help clearing cache and cookies and reinstall update. When I'm reading the opinions on play store I came across that other users s5 have the same problem. Is that Samsung fault? I hope that in the near future we've got new system update. What do you think?
Haven't seen or heard of that problem before. But as you say that you tried clearing your cache and say that others are also reporting the problem then it would appear to be a bug. Your recourse then is to wait until an update addresses the bug (or someone finds a workaround) or revert to an earlier firmware version. Pick the approach that you prefer.

Hello everyone,
With the new update "lollipop" rolling out with verizon I have been waiting to see if Foxfi will work with Lollipop before I download the new update. I have been waiting to see a post with this information but I have not seen one yet. So I pose the question.........
Has anyone downloaded the new update and can still use foxfi-wi-fi or did you loose the ability to do so?
Thanks
Can anyone help?

Does anyone have an answer for this question?

In my experience, it slows this phone down bad!! The extra steps to allow Mobile Hotspot to be turned on, it adds a ton of lag to everything. I've uninstalled for the time being until something can be done, because it got that bad (having to restart it many times a day didn't help)
It works fine on mine. Haven't noticed any lag or anything. It's just annoying that the "Remove Lock" apk does not work on Lollipop. I use Echo Lockscreen, so I want my lockscreen to be set to none so Echo will work properly. Hopefully they patch it soon...
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app
it works fine
Did anyone get the latest security update yet from AT&T?
Looks like it was security patches, but my Messaging and Gallery apps changed.
I am OK with the gallery app, and the Messaging app is OK with the exception the text is pretty damn small! I know you can pinch to zoom, but I am unable to find anyway to keep the ZOOM setting I selected in the new Messaging app, as soon as I back out and go back to a person I was chatting with, the text is back to being small.
Just confirming I'm not the only one with this issue.
Chris
Oh, believe me, you are not alone. Mine is doing the same thing. It is also showing replies to texts in white text boxes with white type. I had to switch my purchased themes 4 times to find one that didn't do this! I also lost the ability to schedule messages, and lost all of my quick responses! This is VERY annoying.
Krista
Ditto here, white text on white background for incoming texts. Exceptionally annoying.
A few people have complained on the AT&T support forums (https://forums.att.com/t5/Samsung-Discussion-Support/Text-bubble-issue/m-p/5452599/thread-id/35765), but it seems the forum moderators are going thru and deleting threads and replies. And so far, the only "answer" wasn't an answer at all, just a canned response pointing to a tutorial (that wasn't there last night, btw) on how to change messaging settings.
If anyone has any ideas, please let us know.
Using pulse for messaging. And sungstratum for theming. It's a part of substratum. No root.

I don't understand what you mean, please explain.
It's another SMS app, you can download it on the playstore.
Thanks everyone for confirming it wasn't just me. It's a shame because the stock txting app wasn't pretty bad for the past ~2 years....here's hoping AT&T steps up, otherwise I will go third party too...
Pulse is awesome. I have the paid subscription and can access my txts from any device.
First, new "update" fubared text messaging; now, there's something running in the background that's turning it into a hotplate & sucking the battery down in just a couple hours, instead of decent consumption all day long. Even after a reboot & running the "save battery" app in Settings, it's still warm to the touch, & draining the battery too quickly.
Does AT&T have plans to fix this, or is this a push to force an upgrade? (this I put to them on their forum)
SAMSUNG-SM-G891A
Android. 7.0
Patch level January 1, 2018 (so no shenanigans about "security enhancements" in this one, they ain't there)
There were betas for these updates for several months now. There must have been some big changes under the hood and this one came as a 500MB update rather than a 35MB security patch. Probably stuck with any bugs until the next major update which will most likely be Oreo. All of this is just speculation on my part.
I didn't receive any notification on my S7 Active regarding BETAs - how do you sign up for those? I would have gladly given feedback on this Messaging app....
They don't have a beta program open to the public as far as I know. Over on the firmware update thread, user khaliullov posts a link to firmware and uncovered a way to directly download firmware from ATT's servers. That's where I've seen betas for this update for the past few months. You don't want to have those betas installed as they offer no upgrade path, so you would be stuck with the issues that whatever beta you used came with.
Got it - thanks for the info!
Looks like time to investigate rooting the phone...
Just got prompted for another update - let's see what this one does...

Same here, can't really see any difference in anything so far.
No difference here either, unfortunately. I was really hoping the Messages app would be updated. This new one SUCKS.
Is there anyone would could grab the old messaging app, make it a APK and then let us sideload it? I would be VERY interested in this, as would others.... this new Messaging app is junk!
The new messaging app is really weird, but all the features are there.... you hafta hit the + sign & the features come up. To schedule messages and more.
Could be worse, half your account could be stuck in Spanish. It's been well over a year and they still can't do anything about it. Lol.
