I guess my only Nechamah is that hopefully in the loooooong the time it will take Sprint to get their act together Android will fix the problems...

I'm reading a lot of complaints about Lollipop slowing down people's phones. Should I just not accept the update when it finally comes around to Sprint?
Which phone?
If you're rooted, you can usually install it as a custom ROM, and if you don't like it, switch back.

I'm on Sprint, already upgraded quite a while ago - S5.

No issues whatsoever, really like the fresh UI.

Not really. If anything I see a slight improvement, but I'm not 100% sure.

So I just hung up from Verizon. IT guy said worst update he's ever seen. Verizon gets one out of every 5 calls how the customers phone is screwed up from the update. 
If you have any questions please search and then ask. PM me for detailed help.

Comment I saw on another forum "Lollipop is the Win 8 of Android".

does that mean that just like windows 8 there are some great things about it and a few mistakes but the biggest issue is that it's very different than what everyone is used to
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

No, it means there are many unexpected issues and we have to wait for 8.1

I upgraded to lollipop on my Verizon htc one m8 and im not too happy. It does have some cool slick features but it does have alot of bugs too. My phone freezes randomly and it seems to stutter a bit more when switching between apps. I'm hoping that they straighten out these issues soon enough but I doubt it will happen.

BUMP
Sprint finally rolled it out for the Moto X. Worth updating?
