ATT Note 3 Lollipop .. rolling out now...

Got it this afternoon. Takes a while to download but phone running great with no hiccups. Now just waiting to see what the battery life will look like.
 
Saw that it was aviable and I checked to see if I could download it. Took a while but so far I like it. Some apps like the Web browser seems faster. Battery usage seems more.
 
Updated my Note 3 last night. Only issue seems to be is the phone keeps searching for GPS ie every 5 seconds with the symbol in the top left corner flashing up each time. Any ideas folks?
 
Discovered a issue with lollipop. I lost the ability to do screen capture. The pen no longer will let me save the picture of the screen. I tried some other methods I read about on a Google search and non worked

did it rest your phone? did you have to reload your apps / settings?

(ment to say "reset")

I'm a UK user on T-mobile. Everything works as it should (except the gps search symbol flashing up constantly). No data lost. No reload needed or anything. Took about two hours to load and install. Some icons are slightly different ie more "modern" design. Icons placed together in folders can now be given an individual background colour. Different default colours for messages eg messages now bright orange, phone now turquoise. music now light blue. Notifications screen now same light blue as music. Different way of organising the screens after pinching the main screen re wallpapers, widgets and hoome screen. So far so good.
 
Actually it hasn't helped. I've cocked up somewhere. Read a previous post elsewhere on this forum that said to delete the data associated with the Unified Daemon (EUR) as well and now I have utter chaos. Have tried restore but it hasn't restored previously downloaded apps. When I've then downloaded what's missing they then don't open and/or delete themselves. Anyone know what I can do to return my usually fault free phone to normal? Am now 5.0 though errors are my fault not due to new update. Many thanks.
 
Someone please tell me how to change this disgusting orange color on my messaging app or I swear I will go back to Apple. I'll take the pansy aquamarine color the phone app now uses as long as it's not orange. Preferably how can I choose the color.
 
I upgraded before it was announced that it is available...AT&T. There are massive improvements. Then there are things that I have trouble locating, just like others. I'm not suffering any battery loss. But there are a F ton of things it has as apps and the like that you have to disable in app mgr. Why they decided to put the Uber app in there is puzzling. If you're rooted or were and it says "Custom" at the boot screen it probably won't install. And yeah there are more system menu items among other things.
 
Battery life is improved. However, I watched my battery lose 30% in about 10 minutes and the phone got hot. The GPS icon was flashing the whole time. rebooted the phone and the discharge rate is back to normal. I couldnt tell which app was responsible.
 
Updated to Lollipop AT&T, backed up via Kies, factory resetted...works flawlessly, battery improved so much, every thing works as it should. It's like a new phone for me. ;)
 
My Note 3.. 2 nights ago.. asked to upgrade.. would NOT let me ignore it.. only postpone the notification.

so I let it. it took about 5 mins to complete.
when if finished.. I rebooted it.

works fine..
battery is the same (I think).
I really like the new animations... and notification pull downs.
how I can minimize (some apps).. so that I can multi-task.
I like the new dialer.

but I don't like the lock screen functions.
I used to have 4 apps that I could launch... Now I can only do: Phone or Camera
lost media controls on lockscreen. Pandora does NOT let me pause or skip tracks. I have re-installed Pandora, but still the same.
 
oh.. I have lost a few widgets...
the one I really need. is the Calendar Widget. it displays the daily things that I have scheduled.
anyone know how to get it back?
 
also...

making selections "default"...
before, when you made something default.. it became part of some master list of defaults.
so when you wanted to change one thing.. you had to delete all defaults; and start over!
which made me hesitant to make something default.

in Lollipop.. there are a list of default selections. and you can clear each separately.
found by... long pressing the home button
select the "pie" at the bottom left
select "defaults" from the menu at top
 
there are a few things I don't like.

example:
missed calls notifications.
before I could dismiss it from the pull down tab.. this would also void it on the dialer too.

now.. I can swipe the notification awau.. but it will still be highlighted on the dialer.
till I pull up the dialer.

I was annoyed about this one too, I used that a lot. Other than this I really like Android 5.0, also for those with S-View covers there are new settings, one of which I was hoping for, the analogue clock in the window when checking the time, there are others too.
