Wow! I was pleased with performance after first 5.0 update, but now my S5 is lightning fast 🙂 It's most noticeable when browsing using Chrome or Dolphin - both very quick now.

I'm liking it on the Nexus 7 too. Very quick now and the battery seems to be lasting longer too.

I got the latest update earlier today. No idea what improvements came with this, apart from pedometer which now has no lag.

I still cannot apply a time period for the 'interruptions' which is what I was hoping the update might include. So I still need to make sure 'priority' interruptions only is activated manually so as not to be disturbed after 8 p.m.

Why can't we just have 'blocking mode' reinstated which worked perfectly well?

oops! how did you manage to smash the screen? I'm thinking of buying 2013 16gb from Argos @ £149.99 this weekend. If it's as slick as my S5 is now, I'll be very happy.

£70 a small price to pay for your girlfriend's well being!

She wasn't worth it...she was already my ex! Just being chivalrous.....so I spent 3 months in Thailand with just the mobiles. I missed the tablet more than I missed her

@jonsie I bought Nexus 7 2013 today and it's downloaded 3 x firmware updates to now being v4.4.4 as I had on 2012 model, before 5.02 bricked it. 2013 now asking to install 5.02. How's your 2013 since 5.02 update? Should I stay with 4.4.4 until bugs are fixed?

Re: Galaxy S5 - Lollipop Update

jonsie — Sun, 08 Feb 2015 19:00:13 GMT

It's been fine, no lag or freezing and very smooth. However, I can't say there is much difference in all honesty with regards to appearance or extra features. Some menu options have changed and some settings disappeared.

I think personally I preferred 4.4.4 but I'm having no problems with 5.0.2 so it's your choice. If I had the choice now, I probably wouldn't update it yet....

Re: Galaxy S5 - Lollipop Update

swebby — Sun, 08 Feb 2015 19:14:41 GMT

I'm thinking the same and will keep 2013 on 4.4.4 for the time being. Will install factory 4.4.4 image to 2012 and sell to recover some of the cost incurred buying 2013. Thanks for advice.

No worries

The only reason mine has updated is because it downloaded while I was in Thailand and I couldn't access anything due to the screen and digitalizer being broken. Sent it for repair when I got back and they had installed it when I went to pick it up....
