Lollipop 5.0 problems on the Samsung S5

Kelb — Fri, 20 Feb 2015 16:25:04 GMT

Anyone else on here having problems with the S5 since the new lollipop upgrade? My mum installed the update about a week after it came through on my handset and both of us are experiencing the same problems. Any possible solutions would be greatly appreciated. (Have already done a factory reset)

Screen freezes - have had to remove the battery a few times to get it to reboot

All handset functions seem alot slower than before

Handset getting hot

Battery life dreadful - seem to be charging my handset twice a day otherwise the battery drains completely

Error message - Unfortunatley contacts have stopped

mobile data and wifi both really slow

After looking online it seems that there are alot of people experiencing the same problems but so far I have been unable to find anywhere that gives any positive info regarding this being fixed

Sounds like you don't have the bug fix yet - it's rolled out so you should get it soon.

Which bug fix is this, will it update the version to 5.01? My S5 over the last few days has gone really slow, I get text lag, opening apps cause the whole screen to go black for around 5-10 seconds, especially on outlook and facebook. Facebook Messenger app crashes the text screen the most, causing input lag. It was never like this before I updated from Kitkat.

No, it's still 5.0.
It should be on G900FO2U1BOA1 if it's an O2 phone.

I am currently on G900FXXU1BOA3. Do you know what the new update will fix? I'm thinking about doing a factory reset if my phone carries on the way it is.

Mines also the G900FXXU1BOA3. Although if update doesnt fix soon it could end up being the G900FUNDERMYBOOT. So frustrating

That is the latest O2 firmware. You have quoted PDA, I was quoting CSC.
PDA G900FXXU1BOA3
CSC G900FO2U1BOA1
Definitely factory reset if you haven't done it yet.

That doesn't mean an awful lot to me. Its connected to o2 through cpw if that makes any difference. Does that mean no fix due for pda then? 😢

It would help if I was only answering one person on the thread.
If it's an O2 phone the latest firmware is:
PDA G900FXXU1BOA3
CSC G900FO2U1BOA1
If it's a CPW phone the latest is:
PDA G900FXXU1BOA3
CSC G900FOXA1BOA4
If you're on that firmware = No update coming imminently, if you're not on it = expect one soon.

aaah so CPW = carphone warehouse? I am on o2 and have the firmware listed ending in BOA3. I'll have to give a factory reset a go then I suppose.

Sorry, was enjoying the communication, i don't get out much and the postman hasn't been today. Hey ho, so no upgrade fix and no downgrade solution then. Thats a bit cr*p. Have a good weekend

Well eventually you will get 5.01 or 5.02 etc but it's not currently in the pipeline.

I'll try the factory reset over the weekend. It's been a bit of a weird update, at first it was really fast, nothing major wrong with it, then skip forward a week and a half its gradually become worse ranging from apps crashing, screen going black, apps taking ages to open, contacts crashing etc. The newest thing today is that the text app has bombed whilst texting and when I've finally got round to sending a text, it can take anywhere between 10-15 minutes to send. Ive had the phone around 10 months and it has never been this bad. I bought this particular phone for its specs, I can't stand technology that can't keep up with me in terms of speed so these latest bugs are really killing me.
