Ratings and reviews

Stop forcing me to update when I don't want to. I was using maps when I was FORCED into a 15 minute update (even after having one last week) and went the wrong way. Had to pull over and wait forever for it to finish and was late to an appointment and got a $25 late/no show fee. I was literally using the device when you disabled my phone. Ridiculous. This makes me want to throw this phone away and switch to something else. Stop forcing unwanted and unnecessary updates on people.

I don't want to have to tell this thing not to update when everything else updates. That's literally why I removed the auto update checkbox. I don't want this on my phone. Something that can override all my security settings>n the off chance this is a work phone? No, that's ridiculously unsafe to have sitting there just begging to be exploited.

My last update removed my list of favorite contacts in my phone app. That simplified accessing my most common contacts. Not Cool! On my old phone (Kyocera) I was able to program my common contacts to a direct dial by holding down a certain number on the keypad. This phone doesn't have that option. So I use my list of favorites as a direct dial option. Now It'll take 10x longer. That's if I'm not driving. This phone was a free upgrade, but I'm about to switch back.
