Yeah, already running it for a while.
It was built on my birthday, so I kinda like it. A lot.
Was this your birthday gift.
Happy birthday.

Thank you.
Not quite, but I did win my gold S5 in a competition.
I'm really hoping that Telkom will have the Sony Z4 Compact when its upgrade time for me in November.
Not happy with Samsung using all Microsoft apps for the Galaxy S6....they can stick their S6 where the sun doesn't shine.
Hi Nimx, what country/network build are you using? I'm using the UK BTU version and battery performance could be better.
Cheers

Colour me underwhelmed. I think Samsung's TouchWiz ruins what was shown in the Lollipop design spec. The lock screen notifications are cool but I am getting "Contacts not responding" messages despite all the fixes Google recommended

I have no issues with Lollipop. I'm also extremely happy with the battery life. I usually have to charge every night. Now it lasts 2 days with similar usage. I also have to add that I uninstalled Facebook and Facebook messenger. Phone is so much more responsive.

Version mentioned earlier in this thread.
G900H - Kazakhstan is the only available one at this stage. Network irrelevant, but MTN if that helps in any way.

No, you'll screw your phone up.
Different hardware drivers for different hardware chipsets.
Ah, ok - good to know
Is downgrading back to KitKat as simple as finding the correct firmware, downloading and installing via Odin?

Has anyone had the problem of not being able to connect to the network? I have full bars but I can't connect it keeps telling me my network is unavailable.
EDIT: Seems to be a common problem among s5 users, is there a solution to this?

Snap on both counts. Thank God for my work phone alarm waking me up for a flight on Sunday morning.

No, MTN. Ive tried another sim in my phone and it also doesn't work. Switched it off and on multiple times, tried to manually choose carrier, changed to and from Gsm. Nothing seems to fix it.

Not snap from me.
My contacts and alarm works perfectly on Lollipop. Wifi works better, it would sometimes disconnect during sleep in Kitkat. This is not happening anymore.
Also, the last charge lasted nearly 3 days with my normal usage. Similar usage on Kitkat used to only give me 1 day. So overall I'm a happy chappie.

Really starting to like Lollipop, it's really smooth and no crashes like the first time I installed it.
Love my gold S5.
