I couldn't wait for these micro updates. As far as I was concerned the S5 was useless to me... Android lollipop works so much better on the S6, worth the money!

    Had a galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S4 and now S5. On kit kat it was the best phone I ever had, went to Lollipop, just awful. Hangs, crashes, battery life has bombed... just a load of rubbish. Seriously considering other brands now instead of S6. Come on Samsung sort it, please.

          samsung know nothing about software optimization. what they knew is octa core chips, Qhd display, ddr4 ram etc.

              That's lame! Or did Samsung say: hey the update is buggy, update at your own risk!

                Lollypop has memory leak problems, and suddenly screen disappear, crash, etc. NOT on kitkat. Seems google has to fix this

                    Downside of android phones.

                    Issues with running the latest version of android, next year the s6''s will have issues running the latest versions of android.

                          Anonymous, 02 May 2015mine works just fine i have absolutely no problem with s5 o... moreMine too since 3 weeks : it's when i received a bugfix update.

                          Still it's not on par with kitkat's speed but it's much better without any of bugs said here.

                          But hey, many users got warned about buggy lollipop on S5 and still they went to update their phone knowing that.

                                      The biggest issue with my S5 (Qualcomm) is that the mobile data connection keeps failing to reactivate after I've been using Wi-Fi.
                                      Sometimes a new network search restores mobile data but usually I have to restart the phone.
                                      Please fix Sammy.
