Anyone care to share their experiences with lollipop on the S4?

I'm being prompted to install it but I read online that 5.0 doesn't work well on the S4. Crashes, battery issues, etc. Can anyone confirm?

I have a data plan and always on whatsapp so battery drains pretty quickly, sometimes fone is a bit laggy, I just close everything and restart the app I'm using. Battery lasted about 4 or 5 hours if so much. My battery life always sucked though

S4 lollipop Laggy....and uses more battery life....

[speedist]

^^Had that problem. Factory reset help me. Battery life actually almost doubled once the phone settled.
Edit: what i find weird is i get thru a normal day on one charge but when I'm home on my wifi my battery runs down quicker?

Just took a huge jump out of my comfort zone.



Sold the Z2 and got the Nexus 6 :O

[M_2NR]

good luck with the size brah

[ismithx]

gonna jump an xperia M4 when it comes trini....

[Mr.Bollywood]

good luck with the size brah

Actually I loving the size! Fits in my hand perfectly, using one handed is perfect!

Screen isn't the best, the phone is one month old and suffers from amoled burn in already.
Front facing speakers aren't the best.

Fast charging is amazing! 1% per minute!

Some small issues on the whole but I can live with it until the new lg g4 reaches Trini

[godson692]

the TechSmash guy got a G4 from LG. his FB has his impressions

on another note, getting awesome battery lie from my z1 (stock lollipop)

[Mr.Bollywood]

@godson yea man I saw! So far he's impressed with the g4 which is a good sign! I'll still the nexus when the g4 hits a trusted phone salesmen.


Also the Xperia line has gotten really good battery life on lollipop lately, my Z2 which was just sold ,was going 2 days strong with normal usage and a little bit of high end gaming.

Sony really stepped up their game with the latest 5.0.2 update

[SmokeyGTi]

I'd disagree with you there bro, cm12 was running really good battery life on my phone, I have read about issues on Samsung devices with some cm12 based ROMs. They said allow a break in period of 5-7 days , with normal usage, then light usage and finally a heavy usage period to aid with battery calibration.

[Chimera]

Bought a brand new s5 two weeks ago. Wasn't getting more than 3 hours battery life. Dropped it by one of the samsung repair centers and they say the battery hadda change and software hadda flash. Phone was freezing as well.

[pete]

Was it covered by warranty?

[Chimera]

Yea official samsung warranty.

There are several repair centers in trinidad
