Has any of you upgraded to Lollipop yet? I'm hesitant about doing the update. Any issues that you can make me aware of. I appreciate your feedback.

If you got a NOTE 4 recently, I DON"T recommend that you upgrade just yet!
I updated with no issues after having my Note4 for a week. Didn't need a factory reset. Battery lasts up to 4 days.

4 days? Oh wow now tht's some Battery!
After the update, i can barely make it a day!
I've had my Note 4 since November and took the update when it became available. Have no issues with it at all.
Some updates on some phones on some carriers have some issues. My take is that since there are MAJOR bugs until at least 5.0.2, I won't even think of updating until 5..1 (and until I see what bugs were fixed in 5.1.1). Then, if 5.1, or 5.1.1, actually has somethingworth updating for, maybe I will. (I'm still on 4.4.2. 4.4.4 fixed the OpenSSL bug but, since I don't use my phone for anything secure (if you want to man-in-the-middle-steal my password to a forum, be my guest - I can prove whether it's me or not), so I don't need it. Lollipoop? A white screen on an Amoled display? A penny will kill my battery more easily. Just short the contacts, wait 5 minutes and put the new battery in then phone. I already get 4 days standby, so I don't need another 3 hours (and lose more than that if I use a Material Disgust app [I really don't like MD]).
My suggestion is DONT UPGRADE until they get all the bugs worked out. I am one Verizon with a Note 4 and is been nothing but a nightmare since I've updated. Problems that I'm seeing are;
- The phone reboots constantly at least 4 or 5 times a day
- applications locked up and stop functioning
- battery life went down considerably
- some of the upgrades flat-out dormant sense. ie. Why do I need to word Verizon over my notification icons. It's been nothing but a hindrance.
- I'm also having issues connecting with my Bluetooth now where before I didn't
And frankly I'm looking to see what steps I can take to revert back to Kit Kat, that's how bad it is for me anyway. The only thing I did not do was a factory reset or my phone. This may or may not correct my problems, but regardless I shouldn't have to do a full factory reset for an upgrade.
As one other poster pointed out, there are a ton of postings that address many of the issues.
Is anyone aware of how to restore back to Kit Kat.. Or even if it's possible..? Or any other suggestions I can try aside from a factory reset. If worse comes to worse, and that's what I have to do, I'll do it...
Thank you in advance
