Its a good update. (I like it).
But it shouldn't be on the Nexus 4. The phone can't handle it.

Mine's OK. But it doesn't have many apps on it and I don't use it for watching videos etc

My battery hated it. And things kept turning off when I was using them.
It is a fairly old phone though, I guess.

Every so often I have to turn it off and turn it on again, last week for some reason I had a problem receiving calls (I've done the interruptions in the settings now though, thanks to those on this thread) but turning off/on again sorted it. It doesn't play up a lot though. I think it's a couple of years old so not old, well not old for me

Your phone loves you more than mine did.Every so often I have to turn it off and turn it on again, last week for some reason I had a problem receiving calls (I've done the interruptions in the settings now though, thanks to those on this thread) but turning off/on again sorted it.

But you probably treated it better than I did mine. I wouldn't be surprised if mine wanted me to go on Jeremy Kyle.

Yeah I'm fairly easy going on my phone, I got given it after I dropped my last one. They're so bloody expensive!

Those protective things that go around the outside edges but don't actually cover them, look as though they'd be quite handy but I don't know what they're called.

Maybe I'll try that.
What has occurred to me is that the disconnection from my home wi-fi may have only been occurring since I got back from Ireland recently, whereas the priority interruptions one has been happening longer. I'd read some people had fixed wi-fi problems by turning airplane mode on and off again, so have tried that. It's only day 1 though, so I'll see if that's sorted that particular problem
eta: Actually, I won't bother trying to remove the battery as the case is a bastard to get off

Just got the update on my Z2 this morning. The interface is so much nicer, everything feels quicker and the X-reality thing that Sony do with their screens seems to work now, it definitely seems brighter and more colourful. It stopped Wifi Fixer working so my wifi was constantly disconnecting, but after running it again it seems to be working again now. Can't comment on the battery life but I've just taken it off charge and will see how long it lasts.

Notifications (of various sorts) seem to be an ill thought out mess in Lollipop.
Unless I'm missing something buried in the configuration options (quite possible given how badly 'settings' is laid out) it appears they have gone and crippled the call blocking mode. Instead of sending unwanted calls (eg not in contacts) straight to voicemail (or just rejecting outright) Lollipop only appears to offer an option to mute the call ringer (which means the call still comes through and you could answer it by accident and/or are distracted by it visually).
The message notifications on the lock screen are similarly annoying with notifications popping up for everything on the status bar rather than selectively (why do I need to be advised I'm trying to 'block' stuff all the time - a simple icon in the status bar is more than sufficient, etc). For 'private' notifications an icon at the top of the screen should suffice, not a pointlessly blank notification message box (which clearly only serves any purpose if you are going to fill it with message content). Indeed why no distinction between notifications with personal content (eg SMS, WhatsApp or the like) which one might want to keep private on the lock screen and otherwise more general information already in the public domain (eg public tweets, other freely available data feeds) where the message content could be displayed. It would be helpful to flag such a distinction between various apps (if I disable the lock screen messages I now get no notifications at all at the top of the display so have to unlock the phone to find out; I have the phone muted or at a low volume setting most of the time). Makes me wonder if the people pushing these things out ever use them themselves and give any thought to their utility.
And still no indication of the time of the next set alarm on the lock screen.
I can't quite work out why useful features are removed in subsequent major releases (as oppose to being retained as options the user has to re-enable at the very least).

Seems others have noticed the spectacularly bad notification implementation in Lollipop on the Note 4; the 'do not disturb' mode is pretty much useless in Lollipop (I found it useful in previous releases for blocking unsolicited calls/texts).
Now the most practical solution appears to be to set the default ring/message tones to silent and then set tones for your individual contacts that you want to hear from (or create a 'people you actually want to hear from' group and set the tones for that). Most of the third party call blocking apps seem to drop any on-going calls (and all have mixed reviews).

I hate it. I had a note 1 and the OS on that was really different (may have been Jellybean) It's just not intuitive at all. For instance, it took me about a month to figure out where the GPS settings were for Google maps etc. Even when you find them it's not obvious, so you forget. So I spent a month getting totally lost in cities I don't know!
My brother (who works in telecoms app development) reckons it wasn't ready for release. I think the do not disturb 'function' (if you can call it that) is shit
It's taken me three months to start to get used to it and that's astounding for me, I'm not a numpty when it comes to tech.
My mum (who has never had a smartphone before) wanted the same phone as me (I've got a Moto G - I'm sick of forking out ££££ for smartphones). She's used to IOS as she has an ipad. After speaking to my brother, I leant it to her, what a distaster - it came back doing weird shit with many apps deleted. I could see, from the way she was stabbing at the screen that what she was expecting it to do, it clearly wouldn't. My brother has given her an iphone 5 , he's acquired tons of the damn things because of his job.
Course I'll stick with the phone as it was a bargain and is a good phone, but I don't like Lollipop.
Another thing: on the train home somehow the flashlight switched on but I had no idea where to find it. Had to reboot the phone then google where the thing was. The Os feels to me like rummaging to find something in a drawer stuffed full of random crap.

Maps, Chrome, music player apps, Facebook and loads of other apps just keep freezing/crashing on it. I had to remove Facebook manager cos I got constant notifications that it wasn't working. What a piece of shit. It has ruined my phone.

I have finally solved my "priority notifications" problem and it was down to 1 of 4 apps. I now no longer have priority interruptions turning on at 10.00pm (and having to manually select "all" even after 7.00am when it should switch off). Furthermore, my home wi-fi connection now stays on (it kept switching to 3G before).
It's only taken months and months to sort it

It's made my moto g quite sluggish. I did the boot to recovery clear cache thing and cleared a load of space by deleting apps which helped a bit but its still not the phone it was. Thinking of a reset and starting again...

It's made my Note 4 have lots of moments of sluggish, including the lock screen. Which is shit really.

Did a factory reset. Have been quite strict about what I reinstall on the phone. I don't need four different social network apps I never use....
so far so good, feels slicker but time will tell if I need to go back to 4.4
