Samsung Galaxy S5

Use DSTV NOW app - works fine on my Lollipop'ed S4

What version of Android are you running? I get an unsupported error with DSTV Now on 5.1.1.

 

[jacques is hier]

I miss my s5

What phone do you have now Astro?

Android 5.01

Android 5.01

It's infuriating how the DSTV Now app is always behind the times. It always takes months before it works on the latest version of Android. Disgraceful considering how much DSTV Premium costs.

I didn't bother backing up (I'm a rebel like that) Used OTA I didn't lose any settings or data.

I did the same and all is well.

I did however have an issue with space when I tried to install even though I did not have many photos etc downloaded. After running the Clean Master app, this was sorted. Android System hogged 6GB of storage!

My phone feels snappier. I don't think I will be upgrading to the S6.

Same here.
All features of the S6 are only slightly better than the S5.

I'm sure the most common reason for people to go from S5 to S6 is to upgrade their status

Who here has Cyanogenmod on their S5? What Samsung UI features do you miss? Is the camera app on CM as good as the Samsung one?

Well Cell C has finally released the 5.0 update.

Well I got the update notification to update it to Lollipop in the last 2 days but I haven't done it yet.
I'm still wondering how much better is it than the 4.4.2?

how much better? I mean what changes? what is horrible about it or problems experienced? I just want to know before I upgrade.

Did Vodacom's S5 received lollipop so far? I have the official one from Ireland and don't know if I'll pick up Vodacom's if they maybe send out 5.1
