S5 Lollipop is simply terrible

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.

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.

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.
