One-handed operation (lollipop)

[blackberry86]

It seems that my device is very close to getting the lollipop update. However I weighing my choice of upgrading due to missing features. It seems 4.4.2 is just as good as the lollipop. My point breaker is the one-handed operation available on lollipop like kitkat.

Thanks in advance

Hello and welcome to Android Central blackberry86.

One handed is available on the stock Samsung Lollipop firmware. See screenshot.

As for KitKat, Android 4.4.2 and 4.4.4, the latest Lollipop, Android 5.0, firmware releases, see, here, beat them into the ground.

Take your time in upgrading. Unless your being forced to upgrade to Lollipop, wait til they work the bugs out of it. You are not missing anything at all, trust me. I wish I would've waited

It depends on what version of Lollipop you are on and which model of Galaxy S5 you have.

True, but I have yet to see anyone proclaim their joy about upgrading to Lollipop. I'm no phone expert, I just see the complaints every day, and know that even after a factory reset, my S5 still overheats and has poor battery life.

And yet my S5 runs smooth, doesn't get hot, and I can get a full day's use (sometimes longer) out of mine with moderate use. I'm on 5.0 in Canada, on Bell. My phone is a LOT quicker than it was on KitKat (4.4.2). As ironass says, not all phones are the same. The biggest issues that I've seen with the S5 is on Verizon. Carriers take Samsung and Google's software and then shove all their own **** into it, often times breaking things in the process.

I think the latest AT&T version is rock solid, from what I've been able to read.... Verizon just can't seem to get it right.
