Android Lollipop

[wurgs]

I just updated my S4 to new Lollipop software and was wondering what people think of it. I have noticed the battery lasts longer and camera no longer has a pause between when you push the button and when it actually takes the picture and the pictures seem to have better color. The one annoying thing is the different colors at the top, like on mine it's aqua when in email, gray for when using the internet, kind of a teal for when dialing phone numbers, etc. Anyone know how to change that?

 

 

Is there any tricks or major changes anyone has noticed?

I havent figured it out. Go on the youtube app and go between channels

There's no need to change that bar color because it just color matches whatever color the app is using.

 

Since the update from the first version the battery does seem to last longer and I like all of the fluid motions when something appears and disappears. I also like that they put the camera button on the lock screen.

 

I love my Galaxy S5 (huge upgrade from the S2) and not sure about the new S6 being that you can't easily get to the battery and there's no external storage. I wouldn't mind taking screws out to take the cover off, I just like being able to simply take the cover off and there's the battery and sd card. I also like the sd card option so I can just put it in the new phone when I upgrade for the music and pics.

I dont care about external storage as long as it has decent storage

That kind of sucks. I don't like the colors changing, especially that they all seem to be pastel colors.

I'm not quite sold on the S6 either that's why I'm holding onto my S4 for now. I really like the removable battery and I have a 32gb SD card in mine, lots of storage.

I don't need a huge amount of storage, but I just like how I can easily upgrade to more storage if I need to and when I upgrade to a new phone it's as easy as just putting the card in the new phone. The Galaxy S5 that I have I believe can have an sd card up to 128 GB.

[Chris]

It can. I only use a 16. So in total i have 32. 64 total would be nice. Even if it is all built in

You could still upgrade to the S5 and I love mine. Hell I got mine late last year in Oct I believe it was and it only cost me $100 at Radioshack (had an upgrade available). I may be keeping my S5 for awhile.

My S4 works just fine and not sure the S5 or 6 is a big enough improvement. I am up for an upgrade but might just wait. I have been considering upgrading for awhile and just can't decide.

I may be getting a Note 4 on friday. I miss the big screen

Since the update , my Note 4 is running slow on some apps. Facebook constantly crashes / freezes. I find myself having to force close FB a lot and restarting it. Also i have to restart the phone more often since it seems to lag..

I liked the old version better.

I just updated FB today and its still screwing up. Battery seems to be about the same.

[Chris]

My battery consumption has seemed to increase with the update

I tried cm12 but its still a little too buggy. Problems with gapps installing too.

I was hoping it was just because I'm at the lakes this week. I updated while down here, took about an hour to download both updates. I noticed the same thing but the signal is pretty piss poor here so I hope it gets better when I get back to civilization.
