I'm on Verizon and I love the update. The problem probably is that these people need to factory reset. I had overheating problems at first. I reset and now it runs amazingly. Battery life has also been great since updating.
And unless you have a slow connection or on a limited plan it's not hard.

I personally love it. Gives me a chance to change stuff around I might wouldn't have otherwise. Plus I feel it gives the phone a fresh start and helps it preform better.The problem not downloading apps it is reconfiguring everything--widgets, calendars, wallpaper, app folders, logging back into everything, etc. Is it the end of the world? No. Done it before. But it is a PITA and a fair bit of time when all is said an done. Which is to say, that's not a route I want to take if I don't have to.
At first I loved it. Was so excited to get the new update, especially when I heard Verizon was getting it first along with Sprint, I see now, on this thread. First few days I played with all the new animations, went through all my settings just looking around at the new ways to set up, for example, the lock screen.... THEN I NOTICE A HUGE DROP IN MY BATTERY LIFE. I'm sorry to scream, but I had finally found a phone that I didn't have to charge or change out my battery 3x a day! I had the GS3 before and if you all had it, you know the battery issues, but I kept it because I loved that phone so much I didn't mind changing the battery. Eventually, I would finally let go and made the big jump to the S5 and I was ELATED at the battery life! No more charging in mid day or changing out battery mid day, I had the extra Samsung battery with charger that I kept with me religiously and when I got the S5 for my bday in September, I thought why not? I'm not sure how well this battery is so I got the S5 battery charger and xtra battery as well, THANK GOD I DID NOW!
Yesterday was the worst day since the update when I had to change it out 3X by 9:00pm, since having it on at around 8-9am that morning. I'm also thankful that these chargers do a very fast job getting the battery back to 100%.
It's such a shame when the most anticipated update in the history of Android/Google updates comes out and it tanks due to battery drain. The way I use my Galaxy did not change one bit since getting the update so, it's not that I text for hours or go on Social Media for hours or Online for hours, or get all these notifications that we all know drains the battery. I learned that lesson with my S3.
I LOVE ANDROID AND WOULD NEVER SELL MY SOUL FOR ANYTHING APPLE, but for goodness sakes, they've known how to keep a battery going for days n days since the beginning of the Smartphone! How many years ago.... 13-15?? ??????
Yes I'm aggravated and frustrated and that took away all my bragging rights to! ??????
Oh well, maybe next time with the next update.... It's a shame a darn shame. Other than that, meh.... That really ruined it for me.

Did you do a factory reset?
Nope... I shouldn't have to... NOT GONNA DO IT! ??????

I updated and have had no real problems. I did have to turn off the auto-dim feature because it makes it too dim. The next day after installing the update I downloaded a launcher, and suddenly the battery was draining very quickly. I uninstalled the launcher and cleared the cache, and now the battery life is great like it always was. I never did a factory reset..
Monicam,
I didn't mean to yell, truly. I had no idea that I would be getting Lollipop so soon! I was shocked when I saw online, looking for something else about my Galaxy, that it was going out, and I immediately went to updates, and there it was! We were with T-MO for 14 years, or however long cell phones have been out, and I never got an update so fast! Anyway, I 'FR'd a lot when with T-Mobile due to area we live, etc, lots of reasons, but I know I'll have to set up EVERYTHING all over again and will I have to do the update again? In some strange way since I already got it OTA?
I see you do understand (thanks for that, btw) and I will keep watching this thread for that guy too. ☺ So much peace to ya!
