Lollipop 5.02 for the Tab S 10.5 now available.

Seems to preform well, but I did not have any performance problems with KitKat.

I like the notifications on the lock screen.

I found the Smart Lock settings and set up work and home as trusted places, but it is still locking for me at work. Not sure what I am missing.

I don't like that the sound settings are now gone from the long press of the power button. I used that to go into vibrate mode before meetings.

The fingerprint reader seems a little better. It is not getting as many "not recognized" as before.

I use Nova, but I switched to TW to see if there were any changes. You can now turn off the "My magazine" home screen. I'm still going to use Nova because I like being able to have more icons and use the entire screen.

Just got done downloading Lollipop 5.02 on my Tab S 10.5.
It's 930+ mb file.
Yes it was 930.55MB and we'll worth it; however, I hve noticed since the successful download of lollipop 5.0.2 on my tab s the lite menu & back buttons no longer light up during usage. They were working perfectly before the download...iis anyone else experiencing this issue also??? Plz enlightened me

They are working fine for me. Go to settings/device and look at your "Touch key light duration" setting. Maybe changing that and then changing it back will help.

My Lolipop update has been here "waiting" for at least a month now but I've been hesitant to install it bc of so many problems I've read about with OTHER devices.
Any info/opinions out there about how it's working with the Tab-S 10.5 and if I should go ahead and finally update it? The update was "forced" on my GS-5 and it's running fine but I just wanted some info/opinions before I CHOOSE to install it on my Tab-S
Thanks in advance, JOE

Since Iv'e updated to Lollipop on my Tab S 10.5, I have not personally had any problems with my Tablet. Battery life seems the same. Also seems snappier when scrolling from screen to screen. No problems with any apps. I also wiped cache partition after the update completed.

The same here on all points, including wiping the cache after the update completed.
