Honestly? Wish I'd avoided this update.

Google Play Services is going ape**** (current latest version just freezes and force reboots the Swift), all icon scales are FUBAR (tiny icons, regardless of settings/DPI), and now no option to have correct lockscreen PIN automatically unlock phone.

[Edit] USB problem fixed - device was in Charge-only mode specifically for the update, and apparently got stuck in an invalid mode afterwards. Entered dev-mode and manually set it to MTP.

[Edit 2] Yeah, **** this update. Far too many issues with it. How do I revert?

[Edit 3] And now its stuck in a loop where Google Play Services asks for access to the phone and crashes everything, then reboots and starts it again. Not ****ing happy at all.

[Edit] Oh, and apparently my Swift no longer connects to any PC via USB (tried three different PCs, four different USB cables).

Auto lockscreen unlock missing is a bummer, but you can't connect it to your PC, because it's "Charging only" by default now, just connect the cable and choose MTP from the notification bar

You can revert by getting a older zip, but factory reset can also fix the problems if that's a choice

The USB issue was infuriating because it wouldn't offer any option to change mode - no notification popup, nothing. I had to enable devmode and force the USB mode to switch to MTP before it would offer the notification.

I was able to resolve the Google Play Services issue by setting the device to airplane mode on startup, and quickly accessing the Privacy Guard and manually allowing GPS access to the phone. Like the USB issue, it seems to be a pre-upgrade setting that is being overlooked, and then the upgraded OS isn't able to handle.

I recently got a smartwatch that I'm using as a trusted device, so the lock screen isn't so much of an issue. It's just a pointless change.

My biggest frustration now is the icon size. They're all literally half the size they used to be and I've tried everything short of a factory reset to fix it (and since that isn't even a 50/50 chance of a fix I'm not going to bother).

Didn't have any of these problems myself, I guess they were really mad about your username...
