Note 4 vs LG G4 - Plus are Lollipop issues on Note 4 solved?

[Anonymous]

I can upgrade my S4 in a couple of weeks, and I keep changing my mind between the Note 4 and LG G4. I know all the specs and have read many reviews of both, and have made a list of pros and cons of both.

One of the cons of the Note 4 is that I've read many people are having problems with Lollipop, but as the G4 comes with 5.1 out of the box I'm more inclined to go for that. There are plus points to the Note 4 though such as a slightly larger screen, fingerpring reader, already an excellent reputation, and the biggest thing for me is that it'll probably be cheaper than the G4 (not on O2 maybe but other places have the Note 4 for a lot less).

So what is the general opinion on the 5.0 or 5.01 update for the Note 4 now? Are people still having problems after doing a factory reset and clearing the cache? If I know this isn't going to be an issue then I think the Note 4 will be the better phone for me, taking everything into account.

Thanks for any help/opinions.

There certainly is a lot of choice at the moment. I appreciate all your help/opinions and the links.

No problems at all for me on the note 4 though I'm still on 5.01. No factory reset needed.

My issue with the LG G4 running lollipop 5.1... its a chore to set personal ringtone.You have to download a ringtone to your music section, then use the tone from there. Its impossible to use your own sms tone, you have to use stock.Sometimes the stock sms tone you pick is different to the one you pick.Hopefully theres an update for this fault soon.Its really annoying.

Download Zedge and you can set any dingoes on lollipop. Our use your PC to drag personal tones into the notifications folder.
