Help Upgrading to Lollipop

II have a Verizon S5 still running Kitkat. I would like your opinion on upgrading to Lollipop. I heard the original Lollipop version had bugs with battery life and alarms so I have not upgraded. I understand there have been a few Lollipop versions for my phone and would like to know what issues you have with it using the latest version of Lollipop.

In case it makes any difference I have no intention of ever rooting thee phone
 
The thing I would like to know is how come you have not had the Verizon Lollipop firmware forced to your un-rooted G900V phone in the last 6 months! :confused:
 
Just recently upgraded to S5 from a RAZR HD. Installed both of the Verizon updates when activated. So far, very pleased with the phones performance.
No baseline on battery, on an S5, but its twice the life of my old Droid.
That being said, still not partial to the "Material Design". Not a deal breaker, but I liked my dark background.
 
Were it me, I would keep telling it NO! until hell freezes over.

I hate 5.0 period, it is unkind to my eyes, the menus are junk IMO...

YMMV but I am agin it all the way...

My S5, Verizon forced it to upgrade with me screaming to the moon.
On my wife's S5, I turned OFF both DATA and WiFi and told her it is just a phone and a play toy for her games.
It will stay on 4.4.4 forever.....
she does not comprehend anything more complicated than a rotary dial phone, giving her a smartphone was a gamble... but she likes to play games, so it keeps her happy... cost me $0.99 cents so why not?
