Lollipop on the S5

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

Is this left out because you can do the 2 finger pulldown to get quick toggles?

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.

No, you can flash a stock tar, boot to recovery, full wipe, reroot following the old ncg instructions, and then follow the guide in general on flashing the rooted rom for OA8 from nk2.

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

Yes. I have two S5 and this happens on my wife's. Mine does not do this. So far I have not found what is causing this.

Security Policy prevents fingerprint unlock ?

After the recent update I cannot use fingerprint unlock because of "security policy", I have to use pin or pattern instead. Any ideas ?? Thanks

Me too... Anybody?

Has anyone factory reset

This is a feature that has been added thats similar to ios. It only happens after a reboot. Then you can use fingerprints

Ok, just figured out one thing. When using an app to screen off, it asks for the password, but if I use the lateral button, it uses the fingerprint. So, the problem is with the app to screen off...

I can confirm this. Just installed Samsung's latest update for S7 and after that, if an app is used to lock the screen (e.g. Screen Off and Lock) the phone always requires pattern (or PIN or password) to unlock. Fingerprint recognition can be used only if the phone was locked by power button or time out. This is not a one-time event. It happens every time and won't go away until you stop using a screen locking app.

Yes this also happens to me. I have installed lots of different lock screen apps, all same problem.

Yes, I finally found the culprit... Nova Launcher "double tap gesture" to lock the screen requires Device Administration permission. If you toggle it on then the fingerprint unlock becomes unavailable. Thanks for all feedback !!

Yepp, I just got the update a few mins ago and this was the first thing I noticed. I'm a bit annoyed and I've found no fix.
I use Nova Launcher gesture for screen lock.

Same,.,
This is the reply i got... Check the attachments.. I guess we have to deal with it..?

Agg listening in on this, because I got the problem to. Bought Screen Lock Pro that worked on Nexus 6P, but settings crashed when trying to active the device administration part.

Damn! should have read this before updating.

Tried to uninstall and install in a desperate hope that would help and it does. Now I have an icon to lock the screen and fingerprints work. Only minor issue us that there is a 10 sec delay, but the screen turns off right away, so it doesn't seem like an issue.

WhatsApp Notifications

Sometimes I don't get notifications at WhatsApp. I need to open the app again, and I get all the missed notifications. I don't find the old option "Protected Apps"..

Same problem here. Notifications sometimes stop working for Hangouts, Viber and WhatsApp.
Priority notifications are set to on, apps are whitelisted and excluded from battery optimalization. It seems that Huawei kills these apps anyway. Anyone found soulution?

Same issue. It's probably a software bug but I don't understand why are there some user that don't face this problem.

1. Go to multi-task to lock the app
2. Go to "App info > Notifications", switch on "Allow notifications" and "Priority display"
then I hv no more msg delay happen anymore

Still having the delays after all the steps taken. See attached. Set to ignore optimisation as well.
Kindly let me know anything that I might have miss out.

Had the same issue, reinstallation of Whatsapp fixed it for me.
Firmware B126.

Go to settings, battery.
Right under power savings from app choose 'close apps after screenlock' use the slider for whatsapp to don't close.

Uninstall and rebooted the phone. Reinstalling whatsapp after rebooting seems to have fixed the issue for now. Thanks !

Ignore Battery Optimization
It's the battery optimization code in the new software of Huawei.
Go to settings, search for "ignore battery optimization", show all apps, and turn the setting on for Whatsapp (or any other application of whom you need to see the notifications instantly). That's the only way to fix it..
Power intensive prompt and notification priority will not fix it.

True,only way is to lock it in recent menu.
On international firmwares there is no problems with notification.
Yesterday i rebranded my international phone to Chinese firmware and the notifications stopped working.

Ok, I am noob with Android, my apps was blocked in battery optimization and that was the solution.

There are several threads on notification problems - one is about 17 pages the last time I looked. Following the instructions there fix it for some but not all. The update that's coming soon (UK today?) will maybe do the trick...

Oreo broke a few things....ugggh

I'm noticing some little things that are different in Oreo that make a BIG difference. Here are a few things I've discovered already that I'm looking for solutions to...
1) The button on all wired headsets that WAS the mute button now hangs up the phone....what the hell?
2) Hitting the "do not disturb" button in the quick buttons area at the top just throws it into do-not-disturb. Prior to Oreo, it brought you to a screen asking how long you want it to stay that way (hours, or turn off with alarm, etc..). That screen is no longer available so you can't have the device come OUT of DND when your alarm goes off in the morning.
3) Hitting the battery button in the quick buttons area at the top now turns on battery saver.....it used to take you to the battery usage page. WTF?

2 is really a shame.

Solution to #1: Apparently if you LONG PRESS the button on your headphones it will mute and not hang up.

Solution to #2. If you swipe down on the notification shade again (to see the whole notification area) you can see a little down arrow under the DND icon. Select that after turning DND on and you can see the option for how long to leave it on again. Yes, too many button pushes but at least the functionality is still there.

Notifications not appearing until the phone is unlocked.

Hi,
I have owned Find X2 Pro for about 3 weeks now. I have noticed that my notification is not appearing when the phone is locked. It only shows up when I unlocked my phone.
I know Oneplus also has this issue but can be fixed by disable battery optimization.
Is there any thing I should disable or enable in order to alert me when my phone is locked.?

Have you tried going in to Privacy<Lock Screen and then selecting show notifications

I was disappointed to discover there is no notification LED on this phone, so wanted to find a way to overcome that. I'm not sure it's exactly the same issue you've found, but maybe the solution is the same?
There are several ways to replicate the missing notification indicator, but the one I've been using since I got the Oppo is NotifyBuddy. Although there is a free version (link below), I quickly paid a small amount of money to unlock all its features. This means that notifications appear on my lock screen in the form of app icons - you can select the size, colour and which ones you want to show from a list of all your installed apps. I've set mine to blink on and off at one second intervals and for NotifyBuddy to not show any notifications when the phone is in Do Not Disturb mode. A double-tap brings up the lock-screen fingerprint sensor, so it's easy to open the phone without even picking it up.
This is my preferred set-up, but the program is very flexible. It does consume some battery power because I've set it to run in the background (which seems pretty essential to me) but the extra drain is very small.
You can get it from the Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xander.android.notifybuddy&hl=en

Thank you John for your reply,
I do not think this will solve my issue nor the original posters issue. When the phone blinks out and goes into its hibernation state/lock screen state and has been idle for quite some time, no notifications come through until the phone has been picked up or woken up then all the notifications flood in. I have tried all sorts of things to get the notifications to work when the phone is in this state but it just does not work. However, if the always on display is on, all notifications work perfectly as the phone is not in that hibernation/resting state. I am not sure this app would help until this aspect is resolved, unless in your experience it has fixed the issue?

When the phone was in hibernation, I wasn't getting any notifications through either. The app I suggested solved this. Now I get notifications immediately, whatever the phone's state.

Also whilst I am thinking about this, supposedly lock screen magazine can impact notifications if it is turned off so I have enabled this too.
Cheers.

I thought I'd add a photo of my Oppo Find X2 Pro showing how notifications appear on my lock-screen whilst the phone is locked. This is thanks to the NotifyBuddy app which I've discussed earlier in this thread.
Sadly, I seem unable to embed the photo, so here's a link to it:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/john_gass/50301729781/in/dateposted-public/
It shows three simultaneous notifications... Twitter, WhatsApp and TypeApp (which is my preferred email app). The strange position of the icons is because I set up NotifyBuddy's ability to move the icons around to avoid any possibility of OLED screen burn-in.
And finally, I have no connection with this app except that I've been really pleased with it and feel it deserves a bit of promotion!

I am facing the same issue on my oppo reno 8, in my case sleep standby optimization is turned on, because of which I am not getting notifications on lock screen. Make sure you turn off sleep standby optimization. Settings>>Battery>>Advanced settings>>sleep standby optimization.
