I have galaxy s5 mini G800F and i got the 5.1.1
The question is....should i update or not?
And why?
S5 mini, lollipop update
I also have an S5 mini that has downloaded the Lollipop update (without asking). So far I have not installed it, having read many bad reports about it
I'm very happy with lollipop, if you are not happy with it you can go back to kitkat in a almost easy way. Only "problem" I've got is a little less battery lifetime but that could also be a problem of the age of my battery. All other features work so far.

s5 mini G800F lollipop update
Can some more people please advise as to whether or not the lollipop update should be installed, as I don't want to wreck an otherwise perfectly good phone just because an update has automatically downloaded, keeps prompting me to install it and I cannot delete it !! Thanks

I'm using the stock, not KNOX tripped G880F with abdroid 5.1.1. and I'm happy with it. No risk in Updating from Android 4. I updated right after buying the phone earlier this year. So it was a clean install.
Nevertheless an official update to Marsmallow would also be nice. But since I recently bought the phone, there's no reason for me to trigger KNOX on a working phone, with the risk of loosing my guarantee.
I am using Lollipop for 3 months now. It's a very good OS, I like it but there are 2 things that sometimes occur - 1: when awaking the phone and trying to unlock it I sometimes get "The Fingerprint sensor is not responding. Try again later" and you need a password to unlock your device so it can occur to you. 2: it sometimes lags very hard. It doesn't matter what I do and it occurs different times. In one time, I got it 1 time in a week but after it i got 2 in a day(but after then it's only 1-2 a week again). It can be my phone or I need to do factory reset, IDK. Anyways, I haven't seen any more bugs/glitches/etc.

Hello.. I've the Device without LTE since about 2 Month now.
Its working fast and stable.. but since a few days its rebooting without any reason.
I dont need to insert the PINCode again after reboot but it's annoying.
Why does it happen? Its rooted but the stock rom..
Any idea?
post in the i9305 help section
S3 won't reboot without a reason in short there is a problem why it resarted.
Only that reason is something you don't know.
Your title is wrong.
Flash a new firmware.

This can be because of your SIM-card. Sounds very weird, but I've once had it
Then it suddenly shows the Samsung screen (not the white I-9300 one) and reboots.

Fix
I'm writing this with my gs3, which would have been impossible before. I finally found the fix for the random rebooting. The solution that worked for me was to root and install cyanogenmod, then I installed an app called 'trickster mod'. Then I set the CPU frequency to run at minimum 800. Thats it. If your phone runs fine whilst playing games like CSR Racing then this is propably the fix for you to. I'm not sure you have to run Cyanogenmod, but you need root. The downside to this fix is that the battery gets drained a bit faster, still good thou.
Experienced a similar problem earlier. If the issue is not software, it might be your power button being stuck. I just did a few taps around it to loosen it. Ridiculous, but it worked.
I've tried several different firmwares. Belgian, Italian, CE, etc. I've done factory rewipes, I've gotten root, I've removed root. Whatever I do, the phone is possessed. It randomly turns off completely or it reboots. Sometimes when using the internet, sometimes when trying to open the lockscreen, sometimes when I simply touch the screen! Anybody having the same problems? Any solutions?
Maybe it's hardware problem? Does it happens on 4.1?

Nope. 4.1 was perfect!
Try to remove your SD card.
If it doesn't work, then try to format internal storage.
If it doesn't work, then make a factory reset and install your app one by one, because there could be one that gives issues with the new system.
Let us know..

I did that. Which of your 15 phones is it? I went with Pure-X Blaster for my V. It is pretty similar to 4.3. It's 4.22.
I am a bit surprised. People usually would not have such a tolerance, that was only known for a fruit religion.
Downgraded to 4.1.2 which used to be rock solid...now getting random reboots and shutdowns!

There's something wrong with your hardware
Do you have your bootloader unlocked?
The power control function of the battery is dead on your device.
The reason I asked if you had tried 4.1 since is for me upgrading to 141 last year I had the same issue and so did a lot of others. The T is very prone to this failure, it can happen thorough everyday use but more commonly appears to happen post major update.
Very simple to rectify, if under warranty Sony will replace as they did with me, if no warranty you need to buy a new battery and replace it(plenty of guides on youtube.)

Amazing! Judging by reading various boards and sites, Sony's got a real problem with updates ruining phones! Lots of unhappy campers!
Setting to 3G only solved random reboot on my xv.
It seems that switching from 2g to 3g is the root cause.

Already tried that. I think Wobba-Lee was correct. Somehow the update can fry the battery sensor.
I've had this happen before and found the SIM card had moved slightly. Removing it and refitting it solved the issue.

Changed to a new battery. No more reboots. Thanks for the fried battery, Sony! :good:
My N4 is from Singapore and I updated it to Lollipop 5.0.1 due to OTA update that was always in my face. Since then, the phone experiences lags and stutters a lot to the point where it will be unresponsive for 5 seconds and above.
also, i have very terrible data connection. sometimes the data arrows move but my app does not load. chrome also lags and hangs intermittently.
i have reformatted and cleared cache via recovery. any ideas what i can do to help fix the phone? I am running stock unrooted Note 4. any help will be greatly appreciated.
p.s. I prefer not to root at this point as I want to be able to keep my warranty status intact. Plus xposed on lollipop doesnt seem to have much apps for me so sticking to stock unrooted.
I've been having this problem too, tried custom ROMs and tweaks, things improved but not that much

I decide that I will not update my Note 4 any more ........... unless one day .......... there will be a better stable firmware.
I don't care about Lollipop .............. Lollipop is the most faulty Android version ............ keep away from Lollipop
Maybe we should wait for Android M in 2016

Same here! I brought the phone in for service and hoping it will magically come back with 5.1.1 fixing all these stupid bugs. Dont know why did Samsung ruin the perfect N910G! Sigh.

I know what you mean man. I took the adivce of everyone here and rolled it back to kitkat 4.4.4
will test out and see how that goes. otherwise i will let go of it and use the oneplus till note 5/next phone gets released.
ive never had any stutterings or lags whatsoever..im stock
I tried package disabler (yes, I know it costs money), disabled around 40 (non-essential) packages and my note is as smooth as when I first bought it on KitKat.

Now the package disabler app got colour code for bloatware
Nope, seems to be yet another placebo fix.
Same for my N916S, the stutters and delays annoy me so much, hard to believe it's a stock rom, it probably happens to S5 5.0 as well
But unfortunately, no kitkat for me, my variant is shipped with lollipop out of the box, sign
Factory reset always helps after an OTA update. I had N910F, the European version snapdragon and just few weeks ago replaced it with N910C, UAE version which has exynos chips. I find N910C lags way less. Infact, no lag at all. It came with lollipop installed then I flashed stock Poland firmware as they had the latest.
Everything is working great! Using Google launcher. Hate Samsung's folders and I find Google now one swipe away much more convenient.

Right, it is a very small update. I am installing right now. I am not rooted or anything. So i will try and give some feedback when i finish installing. But i am sure that it is going to take a few days to notice any actual changes.
There's already another thread that was created yesterday about this update. Maybe we should all stick to that one so we have a unified place for information gathering. Allegedly this update was to activate Samsung Pay, but mine still did not work. I am completely stock and unrooted. I don't care, I just want better battery (too early to tell).
A 62mb update to enable Samsung pay? Yeah that doesn't make much sense at all.

The update made the RAM usage little smaller, better battery and overall experience.
The only issue found when using data, sometimes it automatically turns off. I have to go to data and turn it back again... weird
With this new update this speech to text keeps freezing up.

Clear twice the app and system cache before posting this.
I have Data off, International Data On, Wi-Fi calling off, VoLTE off.
When the phone goes to sleep and the Wi-FI is disconnected (I have "Keep Wi-Fi during sleep off), when it goes off it automatically turns on the Data....
If I have the data on, it goes off automatically. I have to run it on again to use it....
I haven't found the issue what is causing this. Phone not rooted

No issues here...everything works fine.
around day 2 after the latest update i noticed my battery life seemed to be lasting longer. I noticed my "time left" quote was exceptionally high, normally quoting 25ish hours max on a full charge, this time quoting 38.
last friday was the first day of any major usage. used it more than i typically do even on fridays (sat and watched youtube videos quite a lot), with 2 20 minute charges or so, from 8:00am to 6pm it was getting heavy usage, with about 3 hours of youtube going, and at the end of hte day i was above 60%.
That had me floored as normally after a normal friday, I'd be pushing my luck for 40% even with using my portable charger, and thats without youtube.
tomorrow I'll get to give it another hard test and see if it holds up again. if it does i think i will suddenly love my phone now
Just wanted to inform people that there is a new minor update available. It didn't pop up on its own. I found it this morning by manually checking for one. Haven't tested improvement yet.
Awesome, just updated

Because my battery would drain rapidly visible to the eye just by using it. I've had my phone in my hand a lot today and the battery by a 1% basis is just not going down the way it normally does.

Not sure if anyone else was affected, but this update bricked my modem. Bluetooth audio crashes the phone and the cellular radio will no longer connect to towers. I'm stuck on WiFi until my warranty replacement arrives.

Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't get much grief on the warranty replacement, so I'll wait for that to arrive.
I've been running stock with package disabler on this for a long time (upgraded with everything re-enabled). Wanted to try a t-mobile version of xlite but it looks like the dev dropped support for that build in favor of the international one.
Haven't tried a factory reset yet since I've got a bunch of tokens I need to keep until I can move them and don't want to risk losing more functionality with a reset or image. [emoji28]

For what it's worth, I've been able to move tokens over by rooting and using titanium backup with great success. Just a recommendation if the warranty doesn't show up for a long while.
