I'm now 24 hours into the update. Battery feels similar to kit kat so in essence it should be better after it settles in. No app crashes, keeping fingers crossed. Haven't tested video or HD calling. Only one contact out of 400 popped up on the video list! I need to put the camera through more...

I'm now about 24 hours in on my update. To all the fence sitters, I'd say it's a go. My battery feels the same as kit kat so it should improve after it settles in. It's been about 14 hours since 100%, 3 hours screen on, 2 hours of talk time, and various other fiddling and it's at 39%. So far no...

No. Lollipop kills Dalvik. The toggle between the two in developer options is gone. Its ART all the way. Dalvik is dead and buried.

Just wrapped up the update with no glitches so far. Wiped cache but didn't do factory reset yet, waiting to see if needed. Who has ideas on what apps to test for issues. Play store and Facebook updated, otherwise nothing else has needed updating. Wifi seems to work fine. Too late to call anyone...

Just installed it. Amazingly easy, which has me concerned, when will the other shoe drop. What apps should I try to test for any issues? Too soon for battery obviously. All the apps and settings appear to be just as I left them with kitkat. I cleared the cache but did not do a factory reset yet...

I count myself among the most obsessive of researchers before committing good money. I had a decent Droid Maxx that wasn't more than 6 months old but started to lose signal in my house. Drove me nuts and I don't have a landline. Of course I needed an excuse to get a new phone but that was as...

Could this be related to which ISP we are using? I'm Verizon wireless and Fios internet. My router is plenty fast enough for 1440p. I tried every combination of app closing, cache wiping, *** wiping you name it. Started at 720p still at 720 p. Never saw 1080p nor 1440p once.

Battery Charging Bug just discovered I just posted this in the thread about the talking calculator because this just popped up this morning after I did a Factory Reset to deal with the calculator problem. Took phone off charger, noticed it was beeping at intervals of about 10 seconds, drove...

I had pushbullet installed and on when this bug popped up out of nowhere last night two days after I installed the Verizon update. I started messing with settings and the phone froze to the point I had to pull the battery and do a factory reset. Nothing else got my phone to work. I also had...

I hate to sound like a me-too, but my Samsung Note 4 Blue Protective cover just came today and as Flossy says, "It's a Go!". It's hard to swallow a $14 premium over the Diztronic for essentially the same level of protection and function. However the phone costs $750 and it looks 200% better...

I just tried the above method to no avail. Had 6.0.13 at 720p, reverted to older still at 720p. Can't even get to 1080p, what gives? I'm on Verizon.

I just updated my Verizon Note 4 half hour ago. Fingerprint scanner works fine, all passwords intact, all settings intact, no unusual behavior at all. Obviously too soon to tell if battery life is affected positively or negatively. Can't say whether WiFi is improved because I'm sitting right...
