I see the current thread about the recent update. But that thread is more about how to upgrade without losing root. Don't get me wrong, I'm interested of that is possible.
But I thought I'd start a thread about people's impressions of Lollipop on the S5. Pros and cons. Thanks for your input.
lol its a thread about the L update.. there currently isnt a way to upgrade without losing root so that is being worked on right now..
As far as the actual update, its a fresh change and everything they said itd be. Plain tw os lol

With several features of Lollipop not being included for the S5 release it feels to me like just a color change with a little different lock screen.

Can those with the update possibly comment with which specific features are present and which are missing? I have heard rumors, seen "change logs", and seen some random posts here or there, but think it would be useful to the community to get a confirmed list of what is included and not included. If people can post in this thread of what they find or do not find, I can compile them into a simple list in this post. Thanks in advance!
I love the look of the new lock screen and want eclipse ROM to upgrade to 5.0 and have that. However, I saw that the 'trick' for the notification bar where you pull down once for notifications and twice for toggles like on nexus was not included which I'm upset about

Ok guy's am I screwed since I took the Ota without preserving root?
I got the update yesterday, and so far so good. Battery life seems a tiny bit worse, but that may be because I've been putzing with the phone more. Will continue to monitor the battery life.
The Fingerprint lock screen is much better, and the fingerprint sensor seems to be more accurate, if that is possible.
With the new fingerprint screen, when I unlock, I get a short vibration (haptic feedback?- I am usually in vibrate mode). The phone did not do this before. Also, I get a vibration when I put it on the wireless charger. Again, this did not happen before. I can't figure out how to stop it, as I would prefer not to have these vibrations occur.
Other than some visual differences, these are the only issues I've come up with to date. If I could figure out how to eliminate the vibration when I unlock the phone or put it on the charger that would be great.
Anyone experiencing the GPS turning on every time you unlock the phone? for a second or so.
Kitkat is better and more stable as the daily driver.
Lollipop has more novelties but not better on performance.
Depends on what you prefer.

Trusted devices works fine, and was included - just has to be turned on in settings, at it is off by default. I'm using it right now.

+1 for the Trusted Devices, I am also using it right now with my Gear Live.
Turn it on at Settings -> Security -> Trust Agents -> Smart Lock; then back up one level and a new Smart Lock option will be available which allows you to add Trusted Devices and Trusted Places. It may not show up if a secure lock screen is not enabled.
So I got Lollipop now....and there is definitely one thing that is absolutely horrible! This is also confirmed to be wide-spread (not just S5).
Now, When you put your phone to silent/mute, you will NOT GET LED light NOTIFICATIONS. Period.
Only way to get LED light notifications is while phone is in Sound/Vibrate mode. This is severely sad and many people are expressing their opinions about this across all Lollipop devices. Using some 3rd Party App (LightFlow) as a workaround is not a real solution either.

Glad you found that. That's not exactly where the android site said to find it.
You guys think that any devs/ROM creators will be able to add features like the new google notification panels and stuff and get rid of the TW stuff? Nitro has already created an older AOSP ROM that is brilliant so I'm curious if devs will try to emulate a ROM based off of the newest 5.0 Google

Is there any known way to disable the CONSTANT notifications indicating that "WiFi Networks Are Available" or "You are Connected to [network name]"? These notifications are completely useless, because when are there ever not WiFi networks available? I also don't need a notification that I've connected to a trusted network... there is a WiFi icon for that exact purpose. Driving me nuts!
I just switched to the M8 after having a Galaxy Nexus running AOSP. On the Gnex, you could easily disable these notifications in the Advanced menu under WiFi settings. Did Verizon remove this ability for some reason?
they removed it a while back to encourage people to use wifi instead of 3/4g. As soon as we get s-off customs roms will start pouring in and they will definitely have the notification of.
btw, i'm thinking of moving from my gnex to the m8, what are your thoughts on the comparison? are you happy with the m8?

Well, this notification is "encouraging" me to just turn off WiFi altogether and just use my unlimited data plan full-time!
So far I like the M8. Sense interface definitely has a learning curve, but it does have a few nice added features like motion gestures. The M8 is lightning fast compared to the GNex!

i don't think it has anything to do with the temp root. as long as the value gets changed it shouldn't matter how you were able to change it...

Very true... Root method should not matter cause it's just required to edit the field. I'll mess around a little too and post back with any findings.
Thanks for the tip. I also found the setting in the "Global" section of the db. The changed setting survived after the reboot, but unfortunately it didn't disable the notifications.
I'm getting this too on the Verizon M8 - I just switched from a Galaxy S4, but I'm seriously considering returning the phone for this issue. Is there really no way to disable this without actually rooting or running a custom ROM? I cannot believe that I have to hit the clear button a dozen times a day to get rid of that annoying notification or turn off Wifi altogether. I also have the T-mobile OG One and never had this issue.

I could turn it off in my Verizon GS4 - guess I will have to check on it in the GS5 before considering switching out again. I'm just going to turn off WiFi all the time in the meantime.

It isn't going to work until we have a true root method. We don't have R/W access to anything but /system/xbin any changes you make aren't going to stick. Nothing can be written to any system files. Same reason we can't edit our build.prop or debloat our devices. Don't fret though, I am sure we will have a true root method available soon along with S-OFF.

What setting are you talking about? If you're talking about one to hide the notification in the Notification screen, I don't see any setting to disable that.
Let's be clear about what is there and not there - In the "advanced" menu in Wifi on the Verizon M8, there is a setting to uncheck called "notify me - when launching apps, notify me when WiFi is available" - that box is unchecked, but I still get the icon and message in the notification bar whenever I have Wifi on, but am not connected to one of my saved networks. It only prevents the notification from launching when opening apps.
However, on my M7, the setting is "Notify me when an open network is available" - on the M7 (t-mobile), when that box is unchecked, I never get a "wifi networks are available" when wifi is on (let's be honest, in LA or most major cities every square inch of the city has wifi networks available).
I don't have my Verizon GS4 handy but am pretty sure the menu option was to uncheck "notify me when wifi networks are available" because I never got those notifications.
Has anyone figured this out yet, especially since we are S-OFF now? I turned off anything that seemed like it might turn off the "Connected to" notification in either the secure or global tables but I still get it

New task switcher is growing on me I like how no option to clear tasks as I get OCD with this and clear them all the time when I don't need to.
Being able to change weather to Celsius instead of Fahrenheit, for lockscreen weather, would be awesome :good:

Can anyone confirm that Smart Lock trusted face feature causes battery drain?
I'd imagine it would use at least some due to the fact it polls the camera to see your face and then runs some sort of algorithm to determine if it's your face or not. Can't comment on how much, though. I imagine that would only happen when you first wake the phone, so I'd assume not that much at all.
It certainly is a drain on my time and enjoyment of using the phone because it is a crapshoot on it working. And I still have to swipe to open the phone even if it does recognize me.
and using as smart lock the BT or WIFI places causes battery drain???

Have you used the "improve match" feature? I've done it 5 or 6 times with all different types of lighting and now it works pretty much every time. Also, it's not meant to unlock your phone like the old face unlock did. This time around it is just used to bypass the pin or pattern lock, just like a trusted device or place. I actually prefer it this way.

Yes I have, multiple times. It doesn't work in low light of course, because the camera can't pick anything up, it is all black...as you would expect. It doesn't work at non perfect angles, and like I mentioned...in my opinion I much preferred the ability to use being connected to my wifi to disable the lock screen altogether.
Lock screen notifications are fine, but in Kitkat if I wanted them...all I needed to do was dash clock. And more importantly, it was HARDER to accidently clear them because you had to swipe to even see them. In Lollipop, the second your pants accidently turn the power button on...it can clear a notification.
I'm really thinking about going back to Kitkat.

There is no WiFi smart lock. I really wish there was. Only Bluetooth, but the location one definitely is a noticeable drain for me. I'm not sure about the BT battery usage. I finally just disabled pin for now until I can figure it out. I wish they offered WiFi smart lock. That and Bluetooth is what I used in kitkat and had no noticeable drain.

Can be done with tasker if you have root
It could be done in Tasker using Secure Settings however Secure Settings isn't 100% compatible with Lollipop yet. I had this setup so when I was connected to my home WiFi, all I had to do was swipe to unlock. Not connected would prompt me for my pin. Worked 100% and no noticeable drain on battery.

In Secure settings, go to Spanner > Pattern unlock method > Lock Settings (experimental)
Works much better. Only "issue" I have found is first time I turn on the screen after connecting to my wifi, it pormpts for pattern but wont unlock. Turn screen off and on again and its fine,
Last time I tried it with tasker and secure settings I had very mixed results, but I'll hover it a go again and see how it goes. Do you guy's use tasker to unlock with bt also? Or just use smart unlock for bt?

You're right pattern lock is working perfect so far. Even with bt smart lock, which I guess I could just add in tasker too. Not sure if either uses less battery...
Anyways, thanks for heads up. Didn't realize pattern lock was under root section and pin wasn't. Maybe that's why it works? Pattern it is for me then [emoji2]

I stumbled upon Omni Swipe earlier today. I haven't actually used the Samsung version but I'm guessing that it's every bit as piss poor as the rest of their bloatware.
TBH it's turning out to be just the right side of just turning the ringer off. Alerts for banned apps still one though, buy in the form of tiny red dots in the bottom corner. Definitely a good one for gamers and for getting actual work done on the phone as well.

It's just a normal launcher. And it doesn't fix my problem.......
I reckon you're doing it wrong. I'm using it like an insecure Knox so that I don't get distracted when I am working.
It's also got some nice simple tools like a RAM cleaner and torch built in.
Surely anything more would involve muting phone calls and notifications?

Also a built in NSFW photograph filter that's enabled by default and easy to override. And dice...

Could you give instructions? I kinda dont understand you
I just set it up normally. Think you're right and it is just a launcher. I'd you turn offence notification sounds and include apps for notifications the red dot at the bottom notifies you.
Why don't you just turn off the sounds?

Go to Settings-Applications -Applications Manager. Choose your conflicting app. Uncheck Show Notifications.
Once you've enabled Omni Swipe, the first time after that you open your game or whatever there's a pop-up at the bottom of the screen that offers to enable no interruption mode for that app.

People who fold arms may like to try this new app "Screen Block". After starting this app manually, you need to draw a cross "X" before accessing the watch when it is waken up, though button actions like "Samsung Pay", "double-pressed shortcut", "SOS" and "Home" will not be blocked.
Very, very nice Works well on Gear S2.
A big improvement for the Gear Sx watch.
Cool! Perfect for winter.
Just if you can change the ring color ? grey ? for not hurting eyes with a RED color......

Is it just me or is this app not working correctly with Tizen 3.0? The first time it is unlocked it does not reactivate itself when the screen goes off. Tizen 2 activated the screen block every time the screen shut off.

Hmm, indeed.
I was curious, because it seemed to work for me the last time I tried - and it still does, but it looks like that`s because I use always-on-display (AOD).
I tried turning that off, so screen goes blank instead of AOD, and no blocking happens anymore. Even worse, I wasn`t able to manually start the app afterwards, either, like it got stuck, I head to kill it through "recent apps" first.
Sorry guys, I use APIs targets to 2.3 only as I have no Tizen 3.0 device to test.
Therefore, please do not run it on Tizen 3.0 watch.
Thanks for a great app! Works great on a LTE GS3 running 2.3.2.3 (R765V w/ AQF4).

Hi guys, an updated version "Screen Block 2" is under testing on Tizen 3.0. As the go-back gesture is removed, the screen will be unblocked by just drawing a cross "X". Stay tuned.
My SSD is down and need sometimes to recover and re-do source coding from backup. :crying:

Thank you! This is absolutely excellent news.. I've been lost without this app and am constantly messing up my watch without realizing it when I have arms crossed. There hasn't been a suitable replacement built into Tizen 3 like expected.

I'm looking forward to.
While we're waiting, there is a potentially useful app called theater mode widget. It simply dims and mutes the device, but is better than nothing, until OP gets back up to speed.
