        Consumers wont stop buying brands like samsung,sony, htc and then complain about android, issue is with these oems, they try too hard to worsen the problem with their bullshit user interface and worthless apps. Try nexus or motorola. WHY WONT THESE BRANDS USE THE STOCK ANDROID. they wont be needed to worry about the update at all.

              Samsung did not update the international S3 because it uses Samsung processor and there are bugs in it.

                  Why is everyone up in arms in regards to Lollipop "a new OS that will have bugs, like every other new OS out there, including ios", why such a rush to update a perfectly working device that is on kitkat. My suggestion to any carrier "men's sure that the OS is stable enough for day to day use" then release it to the masses. And in regards to Lollipop, it has not been a smooth transition, but that was also the case with KitKat,same goes for all the Apple and ios updates.

The Galaxy S3 can perfectly handle Lollipop but Samsung went derp with the 4.4 update because "1 gig of ram is too low". Then how come the Galaxy Tab 3 series got the 4.4 update?

                            My contacts also keeps crashing. One of my Amazon apps I can't uninstall kept crashing, so I disabled it. My battery drains very quickly, phone gets hot and I lose signal where I used to be able to get signal.

                                Got lollipop on my Galaxy S5 and Keep getting Contacts is not Working Problem,plus All the Data On/Off Widgets that Worked on KitKat will not Work on Lollipop

                                  Same goes with the Exynos version of Note 3 in India...battery charging late, draining faster, phone hanging, contacts unexpectedly stops, ram usage all way up to 2.37gb and more, keyboard also hanging while typing(could not match up with my speed which is already slow). Google play music even if forced closed keeps running background and many more probs. Hopes here they are also listening.

                                    Yeah even I am getting similar issues, I am from India, I updated my phone around a week back & since then am facing issues like, Apps getting crashed several times, Lagging, Battery drains out faster then before.
                                    How do I undo the update? tired of these probs, Kitkat was better.

                                      JahCre, 11 Mar 2015This happens when you rush updates to be the 1st to update ... moreI had a Xperia Z1 with wich many things didn't worked properly. One of such was when the OS asks what app you will always use for a specific task, and the phone NEVER memorized the one I chose and always asked again and again. Not to mention that 20mpx camera that takes shots only on 8mpx except if you manually change to the manual mode which takes time and may have you miss the shot.
