Let me start with bugs

1 . No guest mode feature
2. No way to mute u your phone ..stays perpetually on vibrate mode
3. The dual clock widget is messed up ie if it's 1530 ppm the '1' left doesntt go away
4. Facebook crashes very often
5. M not sure but I've noticed wifi dropping ..will update if I see it

Goods
1. Slick fast UI
2. Lock screen gets notifications
3. Lock screen camera is super fast
4. Battery drain not a issue like kitkat
5. Notifications are awesome
6. Samsung default email app looks sexy..
7. Touch wiz is smooth

I'll update more as I find..Overall the 900meg update ran smooth ota and the phone feels brand new. There is clearly a lot more positives than negatives... but ill get it if some don't have a preference for the new material design

Ideally, you coul post some screen captions of the ui since some of us are still leary of updating yet, in my case, mostly because what I've seen of the interface is not to my liking as far as the colors. And icons
Much appreciated. :)

Agree... my s4 is 2 years old and it feels like a brand new device after lollipop. I like the new UI and battery life is awesome ...

Yep. Thx for the photos and link. Other than the multi window /multitasking which seems improved, I don't like the pastels... As far as the battery life is concerned, I read a ton of opinions, equally positive and negative. Those two things would make me upgrade right now, given a dark UI. Think I'll wait for another iteration.. I only wish I could debloat it. Without root, because I'm still under warranty

please some one help me with this problem.
Please tell me the proper steps to downgrade.

One issue after updating mine(I9500)-- after I set up s-health from time to time I am getting the notification "unlock s-health". Anyone knows what this is or how to fix it? It's very annoying because the phone just starts buzzing with the notification out of no where. Moreover the notification goes away right after it shows on the status bar. I can though open the S Health app and it shows that it has been updated to the latest version. I also did a hard reset after updating to Lollipop. Still I get that notification. Any help to this nagging issue?

Unable to Configure/Sync with Microsoft Exchange Active Sync after the 5.0.1 update in my S4.
Any one else facing the same issue?
