S5 Lollipop is simply terrible

[Anonymous]

I'd prefer to use other words in the title but I'd probably be banned.

So I took a chance an updated without looking at what I was about to install beforehand.

Noway was I expecting the childish colours that make me sick in my mouth everytime I send a text or look up a contact.


Seriously... who thought these colours were a serious option. This is a big mistake for the developers as there is no option to change... oh and I can't rollback to kitkat without odin and a potential void of the warranty.

It should be an option now to choose OTA installations and roll back or choose an OS. Just as you choose a distribution for servers, dedicated boxes and VPS from a data centre.

Video streaming playback has also changed, I assume codecs are different. This is so frustrating as I can't view contact I used to with kitkat.

So in my view LOLLIPOP IS S**T and a pointless upgrade bar a few small benefits.

I'm sure others have noticed the battery drain also.

So... If you could, please hurry up with a new update. I want my phone to continue to look like it did when I bought it, regardless if it is slightly faster.

And the Recent Apps section although now 3d carousel type.... looks pants and bland.

This is a downgrade, make sure to check it out before you install!!

I think it's only one person's opinion. My phone is running Jellybean, and my tablet KitKat, so it would be difficult to make a proper comment, but some of my apps now use Material Design, and I like it. As it's a relatively new OS, there are bound to be bugs, and updating without doing any research about what you're about to get, isn't really a good idea. I'm sure Google is taking the feedback they get and will make changes as they go along.

Is their some form of feedback site to pass this to Samsung.

The same option that I use for Apple Feedback etc.

Hate to tell you, any update they hurry up with will still look the same.

As the Note 3 does not yet have Lollipop I'm afraid I couldn't comment as yet @rosadosc.

My S4 also has yet to be upgraded. But if it ain't great. ...... i might not bother.

My Note 3 is running Kit Kat I think....(is 4.4.2 Kitkat?)  If so...that's what I have 

[Anonymous]

Yes @Cleoriff you are running on kitkat currently.

I believe the Note 3 rollout is planned for later in February

See...I am not as daft as I thought.... I will ignore the update until everyone is happy with it..(That could be a long time then)

Some like change, some don't, fact.
For every one person that hates it 10 will like it and vice versa.
Personally I like the material design theme and I'm sure the choice of colours will be introduced into later stock roms as it is now with the CR that I use.
