I've had Lollipop for over a month...

I've had Lollipop for over a month now on my Verizon S5 and is still a mess. I've done 2 factory resets and have wiped the cache least a half dozen times.

Battery life is still crap. On a good day I only have to charge my phone once, but it's normally twice. I've uninstalled and reinstalled all apps on my phone to see if any of then were the problem, and there was no discernable battery life improvement. I week takes my phone of the charger at midnight with a full charge and when I get up at 6 or 7 I'm sitting at only 65-70% battery. That's sitting idle all night.

Edit: I lost 10% battery in the few minutes I took to type this up.

I continue to get app crashes, slowness, lag and a bunch of bugs. S health only counts steps when it feels like it. My phone even switched my voice mail client on its own. Up until this morning I was using Verizon visual voice mail with no issues, but now is switched to Google voice. What's weird is that I haven't touched Google voice in months and deleted the app from my phone 3 or 4 months ago.

Verizon and Samsung haven't been much help. My phone makes and receives calls and text, so I haven't been able to get a replacement yet.

I'm downloading that re-release of lollipop that Verizon put out over the weekend and hope that helps, but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

Is anyone else's phone still this screwed up this long after getting lollipop? Or am I just lucky enough to have a jacked up phone now?

Why not leave your phone charging until you get up each morning? There is no good reason to let your phone discharge all night when it could be plugged up.

However, I completely agree that losing that much battery while idle is insane. I usually lose between 4-6% overnight on the rare occasions I'm not plugged in. That's with everything turned on, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, ect.

I usually do leave my phone plugged in overnight, but sometimes I've forgotten and lately I've been testing it negate of how badly its running.

I will not root this phone. I was into routing and running roms for a long time, but I just don't want to deal with that anymore. I know that it's not all that hard to do, but it's effort I'm not willing to put into my phone. Plus, I shouldn't have to root to make my phone run smoothly. Samsung and Verizon broke things with this update and I want them to fix their mistake.

I don't know if it would be worth your time, but you could try flashing a stock 5.0 ROM with ODIN. You might have gotten a bad flash of the update.

Since you say you have rooted before, you probably know the process, and that you should do a factory reset afterwards.

If that's not an option for you, then you might try pressing your carrier harder for a warranty replacement.
