Factory data reset helped after lollipop update

[ahutchga1972]

I resisted doing a factory reset after the Lollipop update. But I was getting lag and no longer getting email alerts.

So I reset yesterday and everything is smoother than ever.

I haven't really had any problems with Lollipop, but I'm giving it a try hoping it will solve the GPS issues, which seem to be getting worse. Also on AT&T.

Thank you for your post!! So many people resist the factory reset and then hate their phones.

Only negative side effect - before the factory reset MobileIron accepted fingerprint reading as an unlock method. It wasn't there in KitKat but I checked it after the Lollipop upgrade and it was there. Now, I need to go back to a password. :'(

One dude even spent $1000 on a iPhone instead of just factory resetting.

I'm up in the air about doing this and losing everything. I'm getting worse battery life than before. Not sure how much of a difference it would make for me as far as battery life goes.

Your battery life should be better than kitkat after a factory reset.

I've noticed my Note 4 is laggy after the Lollipop update on AT&T. I think I'll do a restore now avid see how it goes.

Ok. So after the update my touch screen would not pick up my finger touching it. It would work with the stylus. Did a reboot and seemed to fix almost all my issues. I agree with the battery life being way worst. So what happens when you do the factory reset? Loss of all apps? Reverts back to Kit Kat OS? Loss of all pictures? On AT&T running 5.0.1 I like some things and other things I am like whaaaa?????

Doesn't go back to kitkat. Removes all installed programs that you have downloaded. Removes videos and pictures you have taken stored on the phone. SD card stuff is unaffected. Removes contacts.

Do a backup of your stuff on Kies before the reset and then restore it back.

I updated to Lollipop this morning and haven't needed to do a factory reset. I did clear the cache partition though. Everything looking good so far.
