I am on 5.0.1 and do not face any problems like no silent mode etc. The only thing noticeable is relatively quick battery drain than earlier version. Otherwise its perfect and I love my Note. I hope samsung will fix it soon although even now its better battery performance than any other one available in market.

    I am a Verizon subscriber in the San Francisco Bay Area and received Lollipop on my Note 4 this morning (7-APR-2015).

    Version is 5.01 with Baseband version of N910VVRU1BOAF.

    Seems to work well. Have noticed no big changes, other than notifications on the log-in screen.

I dont like labels as im a human so im a fan of my pocket and what stays in it lol. ios is piece of crap, apple which i feel put more efforts in to thier sales pitch and acting lessons for jonny ivegotyourcash but the OS they've put all there hope into. Apple just dont work, lately its been update to fix update after update(dont shoot the messenger), it really just has,since the i5 its just been downhill, the map fiasco, the pink camera spotting , the light bleed on a phone case jono said was roboticaly chosen down to micros, the brand new phones scratched in sealed boxes, then the bending phones and hugh bezells with an inadequate screen ppi, with a small screen in a carcas the same size as a phone with a big screen and the lag on the i6 home button, i withi wish i
      wish i wish i could say the same
      for android but i just cant. i could
      go on for days but i'll keep it
      simple. do not buy apple you will
      be disappointed lol. Android just works it really does. Push your icon for web you get the web, the camera you get the camera, text for text, phone for phone mail for mail , its just so simple , its a note 4 for me, serves me right for being gullible to adds making me think there was something better out there, makes me wonder now, just who is, putting all these pro apple posts in samsung threads

          In the US and updating now... the download has terminated 3 times and it has taken over 2 hours each time to get to about 60% before the download terminates. Using WIFI too not just data from the carrier.

                I downloaded lollipop on my Galaxy S5 and after that All the Data on/off Widgets from the Play Store wouldn"t work at All,and if this happens the same on the Note 4 it will anger a lot of People,so hope Samsung can sort this Problem out,so Watch Out with lollipop on the Note 4 the Data On/Off widgets might not work,so Sliding the Screen down All the Time to Switch on Data can be Very Annoying

                        AnonD-233146, 07 Apr 2015updated to lollipop. running smoothly.Compared to 4.4.4? I doubt it, honestly. We use several phones with Lollipop, as I already said, including Nexus devices. It is a joke of how bugged it is. Memory management is bad, CPU management is bad, battery management is bad, connectivity management is bad. If you want proof just add a lot of apps to the phone (or multitask) and as soon RAM starts filling up everything starts falling appart.

Google truly lost the plot with Loli-flop. Samsungnshould continue with the Tizen project. For all we know, Google could sell them out to Apple to keep selling ads etc. Don't trust these greedy capitalists !

                                      Samsung please take a page out of Apple and Blackberry book regarding updating their phones. I stuck with the Note 3 version from AT and T and God knows when I will be getting the updates. Samsung please listen to your customers we are the one buying your phones

                                        Hi, I install the Bulgarian version of the "Android 5.0.1" a few days ago and there is "Silent Mode". I mean, this is not an "Option" in todays "Up Date" ;)
