My Note 3 and Lollipop (the aftermath)

[Cleoriff]

No apologies for the dramatic title ....I have installed Lollipop and have a few questions and queries

Nothing technical... I am not interested in any of that. The phone runs beautifully with no problems (go me :smileytongue:) but a few things have changed and some for the good and others not so much...

The Good

*Forgive me for saying I like the new colours for notications and emails etc.

*I like the speed of it all (fast isn't the word)

*Battery life is improved

Not so good (or maybe things I dont understand)

This is what I see in About device'.....Why have I only got Lollipop 5.0 and not the latest version?

And could anyone explain what SE for Android Status means?

Oh...and does everything else look ok on this 'about device' page

So...if we can start with that...I have more non techy questions to ask.

(One thing you will realise... I am very willing to learn new stuff even though it may be as basic as hell to some of you)

That's all fine.
5.0 is the latest version of Android, for your device. Remember android, unlike iOS, runs different versions on different devices. Yours will catch up at some point or at least update to a newer version.
The "SE" is to do with the security policy installed on the device.
Best understood by reading about Samsung's Knox policy here https://www.samsungknox.com/en/faq/what-difference-between-se-android-status-enforcing-permissive-an...

PS. "SE" stands for "Security Enhancement"

[Cleoriff]

Ok then. You know my Note 3 came from CPW sim free...and I have got Lollipop late ...these new updates to 5.1 etc....is that the same type of big deal about backing up and all that stuff I did before installing 5.0?

[MI5]

5.0 to 5.1 would be but not such a big deal if going to 5.01 or 5.02

[Cleoriff]

Oh and the Knox version..is that also fine? I keep reading about 'tripping knox and voiding warranty'...is that only if you root your phone? (Not that I would ever do any of that as I don't think I need my phone 'rooting') ...whatever that means Mwhahaha

No problems at all for your intended usage, or anyone else who's not into modding and flashing.

[Cleoriff]

Now down to some basic stuff. Emails!

Mine come in via Bt Internet and before I upgraded I had the option to delete any email without even opening it

(little dustbin icon) That has gone now and I only am able to delete after opening the damn email?

[MI5]

Swipe right on the email header.
