No longer waiting for Lollipop... Love it so far...
- I just hate the way those upgrades are being pushed. What is the point of having some customers wait a month longer than others? And yes I know I can use other ROM and ****, but that is besides the point...
Anyone see some system in the madness?
I live in Norway and belong to the NEE region by the way..

I am planning a factory reset when i update. This makes the waiting even worse. What is the point of spending g time setting the phone up when I'm going to reset it?
Hope it comes soon cuz my chocolate is melting fast...04-15-2015 03:53 PMLike 0 - You can take mine......it came to my Verizon Note 4 day before yesterday and I have been holding it off! I really don't want it, but inevitably it will automatically install after a certain amount of rejections! Urgh, my Note 4 is running soooooo smoothly the way it is!04-15-2015 07:31 PMLike 0

- I really dislike Apple, but this is the only area where they got it right...screw the carriers...EVERYONE gets the update, and EVERYONE can choose whether to download it or not.

Not yet done factory reset, but haven't found any reason for it, as it simply works...

Written using my awesome Note 4 WITH Lollipop, good battery and no bugs.04-19-2015 11:22 AMLike 0 - I just upgraded from an S5 to the Note 4. I had updated to Lollipop on the S5 and wished I didn't. I plan on waiting as long as I can before updating my Note. My biggest complaint is that they took away the ability for app/widgets to toggle data on and off. No more battery saving apps. I use myprofiles to change settings for if I am work or home or driving. There is very poor coverage in my office and being able to toggle data on and off with a profile is key. Lollipop removes that so now I can either leave data on and kill my battery while the phone searches for a signal or I can go thru 4-5 settings just to turn it off and then I need to remember to turn it back on when I get in the car. I also use Automateitpro which can't toggle it or Tasker can't either. You can have Lollipop, I don't want it.

I have never hadd any problems with battery on my S4+ or Note 4. That being said it took its toll on my S4 using an android wear watch. Have been using a Gear S watch with constant BT, mobile net speed reduced one notch down from 4G on account of bad reception here. I have more than enough data speed even with this setting for the day to day use.
I just do not understand what ppl complain about. I recharge every night, and for me to have to recharge during the day I must really abuse the phone. And I am not one that passes on YouTube, streaming music etc to save battery. After all I got this device to use it, not to constantly go half power or miss out on things because the battery is not good enough. Because what it comes down to in 80% of complaints to Lollipop it is about battery.
Any how thanks for the input, and that you share some experience to back up your claims.

My battery life was horrid at first. But my Starbucks app has not worked properly since abd I know it's on them. But they are taking t h er sweet time fixing the problem. I still prefer kitkat

- Have you tried it? What is being crippled? My battery is as good or better, I have zero bugs, a new S Health among others. Know what ypu are doing, and it is all good.

with that said, yes I am using lollicrap, and have done a cache clear / factory reset via the advanced menu.....it isn't that bad but it isn't as smooth either and I cannot get 2 days of battery life anymore as I did with Kitty Kat04-19-2015 05:28 PMLike 0 - Same here! Better disable that OTA updater (like I did) before it becomes mandatory (link below). Takes all of about five minutes and can be reversed if you change your mind. As the Scott's lawn guy says, "Do it!"
No regrets here. My Note 4 still works great on KitKat!

). I didn't install any Samsung drivers for Windows. Just downloaded the zip file, extracted it to the bat file, enabled Developer options (by tapping it three times under settings), enabled USB debugging, connected the phone to PC, then ran the bat file. Done. Easy peasy! Haven't seen an OTA update notice since.

And what makes it worse is that there is *apparently* no way to downgrade to KitKat at the moment on the AT&T S5. Good news though, Lollipop is NOT draining my battery, nor is it overheating my phone. But still... Sucks.04-22-2015 07:42 PMLike 0
