Well guys, it's been a while since I reset my phone now and running a cleaner Lollipop. Here's what I've noticed:
(1) At first it was much much MUCH faster. However after some use I'm noticing some lag spikes still. Examples are in Google Maps and in Facebook chat (messenger), these apps can lag on my phone for around 15 seconds.
(2) The phone sometimes STILL doesn't time-lock when the screen turns itself off. I turn on the screen after 10 seconds of the screen being off after auto-time-out, and I'm not asked for my finger print, so my phone is now not actually secure.
(3) When I am queried for my fingerprint, STILL sometimes the arrow pointing at the fingerprint reader is stationary and solid, and giving my fingerprint makes the phone do nothing. I've even used shortcut buttons on the lock screen to keep the screen on and give it a while, it's not lag, it's just bugged out. I have to turn my screen back off and back on again.
(4) Since the update, Kies now repeatedly FAILS to connect to my phone, and windows repeatedly says an error code 10: the device failed to start. This is after many times of also re-installing the windows drivers. This never happened to me much until the lollipop update, so now I understand what everyone else has been complaining about. But with this latest problem, I can't even explore the phone contents in windows explorer either.
(5) At first, notifications would dissapear as i've either clicked on them or read the message that I'm being notified about. Yesterday is the first time I've witnessed the bug reoccuring however, so I've clicked on a notification, read the message, and the notification did NOT dissapear.
(6) Updating an app is still making me move it to SD card all over again like it was before the factory reset
(7) Getting random crash reports from apps that shouldn't even be open, such as Amazon Kindle app or Shazam. Completely at random, as and whenever it pleases. Also been getting the same from Contacts too, it stops and gives me an error about it regularly.
(8) Screen locked on me just a moment ago, whilst I was in the middle of using it. I was scrolling down a text message list, when the screen went black, and then went onto my lock screen by itself requiring my fingerprint to unlock it again.
(9) Screen intermittently doesn't want to turn on. Pressing the home button, first time the touch buttons (recent, back) both light up, but the screen stays blank. Pressing the lit buttons do nothing and they go back to normal, and then pressing home button again straight after does nothing, phone looks off!! Either have to wait for the timeout, or press the power button a few times to get it working again.
The Good / Unknown:
(1) Messages have so far all been sending correctly
(2) Device is now working at normal temperatures and the android OS is back to normal hardly using any battery power.
(3) Still testing whether turning off notifications from apps that force adverts into the notification bar works.
All in all, there definitely seems to be bugs in the software even after the bug fix patch, and I hope we can get acknowledgement as to whether this is actually going to be fixed or not.
