Update the device. I'm not sure which model/carrier you are using, but there are very important security updates that make accepting Lollipop that much more important: T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 and Note Edge receiving Stagefright fix [Update: Galaxy S5, too] | Android Central

Verizon....I forgot to say it

I'm still on KitKat on a Verizon Note Edge as well and was just wondering the same thing. It's like waiting in a fallout shelter. I love KK. Have tried LP on a Note 4 and a S5, but haven't had an urge to jump on board when I'm happier than a clam on KK.

If you have KK and you do NOT have any problems, just wait for the new os. Lollipop is a Pandoras box. Some phones have to be completely reset, others have significant battery issues and some have no issues at all. If you do update, make sure it's nothing on your phone that you need i.e. files/pics...

I have been on Lollipop since my original Note Edge that I kept on Kitkat died on me and was sent a brand new updated Note Edge with 5.0.1. I have to say, the battery life is a mixed bag for me. On Kitkat, I was getting 18-22 hours on average. On Lollipop, I'm getting that same amount on average... mostly. There are times where the battery life can be as little as 10 hours, but that seems to depend on where I am, signal, app usage, etc. I am actually looking forward to see how 5.1.1 is going to improve the performance of this great phone. I can only hope that the Note Edge gets Marshmallow down the road, since it would fall under the 18 month Android support window from Google. But I think it's wishful thinking. Maybe that will help the battery life of our phones, also.
