Lollipop software upgrade

seacam · 22-07-2015, 18:48

Hi,

I use a Galaxy Note 3, ( UK Version ), running Android 4.2.2.

Samsung have finally got around to updating the above version to Lollipop 5.0. via a software notification on the phone.

I vaguely remember reading Lollipop had cased some issues and not to install.

Have these issues been ironed out, should I install Lollipop and what improvements are there if any?

It looks good and works good on samsung tab4 16gig lollipop 5.1

Only problem now is operating system files now take up 5gigabytes !!!!

I did full tablet wipe and clean install.

Tablet is now lacking space as soon as some apps are installed back in.

Why is it so bloated !!

I installed the update on my Note 3 this morning. So far so good but too early to say if any problems yet. If I have any issues, I will do a factory reset.

I have the same question. I've just had a notification of the upgrade being available. I've also read about battery life issues but not sure if this is now better?
Also, if you aren't happy, can you downgrade again to Kitkat and how do you do that?
