Lollipop is junk

[Ryyus]

Reboot, Reinstall, Downgrade OS

Funny how that seems to be the solution to various issues with 5.0

Sad that a company as large as Google would release an OS with out better testing....

Even my lock screen is acting up: the numbers on it appear as "white blocks" and the only way to resolve is reboot the phone.

Of course no one forces us to use a particular phone, but you would think it would work as sold by manufacturer - lmao

Works well on some Note 3's,
Not so well on others, like mine.

I have zero issues with Lollipop aside from my aforementioned visual issue with the phone dialer in landscape. I wonder if those having problems have a specific hardware revision of the phone. Back in the Droid Bionic days I never had any of the problems others reported and I was always curious if the version of the phone some people had was the culprit. I know it shouldn't make a difference, but hopefully I uploaded this correctly so here's mine :

I have the same issue with the white blocks on the lock screen, kind of annoying but oh well.

I've had my note 3 since it's release, the 5.0 update went smoothly. But as I learned a long time ago when updating, before I accept an Ota I factory reset from the bootloader then power back up. Just as though I was rooted installing a new rom. The only problems I'm having with 5.0 is that it's not 5.1.1. Lol.
Sometimes it think if I gave some people an orange on these forms they would start [Edited by Moderator] it wasn't a banana. Just saying. If updates are such a problem for some, then why did you accept it!?! [Edited by Moderator]

This is confusing. Google hasn't pushed any software to the Note 3 aside from Google Play Services. Did you mean Samsung and/or Verizon?

I'll pass on the oranges and bananas, but thanks for the thought -lol

The last update became a daily reminder that wouldn't go away "you will be assimilated" -grin
However, updating a stock phone should not present an issue like the screen lock number issue I mentioned previously. That is a bug, not a error due to not rebooting, reseting error. (Which I have done several times and issue still randomly occurs)

Agreed, none of us are forced to update our phones, but expressing ones disappointment regarding an update with examples provides a dialog for discussion and possibly resolutions via other users.

Whoops, my mistake, I mis-spoke. ☺

I should have said Verizon.

My understanding is that the carriers tweak/add/delete/customize OS's. So Samsung adds things to the OS like My Magazine, and Verizon includes their own apps (for example)

So my issue could be caused from multiple sources.
