      Finally got the sucker, haha, get it? Sucker? No? well... Everything is more "Material Design" and less TouchWiz: the menu is white, the lockscreen looks slightly different and so on. One thing that's missing is the "Silent" volume setting, we're left with only Sound and Vibrate - this might make a comeback with the leaked Themes settings (yet missing). Notifications are now highly customizable (auto-hidden upon content, ie. hides a Viber message showing only the contact). Everything I've tried works well and faster than before. I love it but it's only the day-one experience talking :P

          AnonD-231116, 29 Dec 2014With lollipop on S5 is so much better, they went to ART run... morePeople always hope to get the battery time improved on every update but I have never seen that on any update since 2010. Therefore I don't believe that Lollipop will have any improvements on battery time. It might be worse though because of its white backgrounds.

                That's right . What happened to the S4 that looks more like a slug? Great hardware and software slow! Samsung... Never plus.

                          It's available in UK. Just not OTA. If you take your phone into a Samsung service centre then it can be flashed with lollipop for you.

                          Currently only destructive flashes through odin are available. So back up first!

                                    I have always been looking forward to all android latest updates but not for this lollipop one. Why? Because its very ugly with all its white colours. The beautiful black colours gone now. All menus and everywhere its white which looks cheap and ugly. Also it will consume much more battery. will never update my s5 or note 4.

                                        Suck-it-up, 29 Dec 2014I want Lollipop for my Note 3 and I want it NOW!!! :(Here you have official lollipop for Note 3, but only for N9005 LTE model, flash it with Odin 3.09

                                        - N9005XXUGBNL8 refers to the model SM-N9005 and is not compatible with other versions Galaxy Note 3

                                        -Make sure the battery of your Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 charged even up to 60%
                                        -Make a backup of important data, and settings, turn on USB Debugging
                                        -Download: Lollipop Firmware [N9005XXUGBNL8 5.0.7z] and Odin 3:09
                                        -Restart Note 3 in the Download Mode and flash (since the ROM is of several components, make sure the checked are just the Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time)
                                        -My recommendation is to then reboot into recovery and do a hard reset
