            I am in Fremont, California and I just got the Lollipop 5.1 OTA on my Z Ultra GPE right after I did the 5.0 OTA update last night. Update was smooth but it did break my 802.11ac connection. I have to downgrade to 802.11n 2.4GHz to use Wi-Fi. Boot up time was 60 seconds compared to 48 seconds with KitKat 4.4.4. Battery usage seemed to be normal 68% left since 8:30 am and projected to last another 18 hours.

                        Could not agree more about Samsung. I own the Note 3. They are rolling out 5.0, not even 5.0.1 or 5.0.2, after 5.1 is available and as you rightly say there are problems. Then again should we be surprised given that there are known issues with 5.0 and still Samsung pushed it out and for the icing on the cake they cannot even be bothered to make announcements about 5.0.2, let alone 5.1. When a company can roll out an outdated build with known issues they can forget ever getting any more business from me.

                          here's a post from this very same site
                          http://www.gsmarena.com/lollipop_inches_past_5_percent_in_latest_android_distribution_chart-news-11840.php
                          5.0 - 5%
                          5.1 - 0,4%
                          wtf are you nagging about? Is Sony the only manufacturer who still hasn't upgraded to the latest of the latest?
                          yes?
                          good.
                          friends of mine, samsung users (mainly) early adopters mostly, upgraded their phones as soon as the 1st release was available. the result? crash after crash after crash...downgrade, those who could and knew how. the others? changing phones. Me? still waiting for Sony to do a good job with the upgrade. from my experience all their upgrades come later than the rest of the brands but comes stable. and for me whats important is stability not the sooner the better 'cause it looks like the sooner the worst.
