Here we go! I'm elated that my phone was ready for the update and I didn't have to wait any longer!

Me too! I was surprised to see it ready to download so soon after the announcement yesterday.

Works great. Only complaint from me is the stock messaging app. It is a hundred times better, and even group messages works. But, it doesn't work with the heads up notification and still doesn't have archive. Back to hangouts it is.

OK Google hot word detection from any screen is fixed. You no longer get an error message in the camera app when enabled.

Too bad it doesn't work well with themes..

Got the update thus morning and took it off the charger around 8 Am.

With heavy use I'm still at 60% and it 1:24 PM.

Not bad. The Band 12 reception is exceptional in Cleveland as well.

After having it for most of the day, I noticed notifications weren't showing up on my lock screen. Figured out Activesync for my work email was not allowing them nor could I change it in settings (greyed out). So unfortunately (or fortunately) I removed the account. Personal notifications on my personal phone are more important than checking emails out of the office.

EDIT - After doing some research, this isn't a Lollipop issue. Seems either Activesync or Sony. I've read uninstalling, clearing cache, restarting, and reinstalling fixes the issue but I'm using Nine for now for work email.

Band 12 is working here in Kansas City, but the signal isn't what I was hoping it would be at my house.

Oh yeah I totally forgot about band 12! I'll have to check if that is active here in SLC.

So far I love the update. It's pretty close to stock Lollipop and everything is working very well

Just upgraded to lollipop and still no band 12 here in the San Francisco bay area.

How do you check if band 12 is working in your area on the T-mobile network?

After update I see my contact photos when i click on them in contacts, but can't see the picture show up when I try and call the person. Is this happening to anyone else?

Did you try and do a factory reset to see if that took care of the problem?

Nope. Might at some point.

Had a possible issue last night. Was trying to make a call and the phone wouldn't dial out. Restart and same issue. Went to settings and turned off VoLTE and it dialed right out.

The phone was making calls just fine prior (post lollipop) so I'm not sure if it was just a bad signal or potential issues with VoLTE still on this device.

Anyone else see any issues with VoLTE?
