I realize it stays with 5.0 but they say it works better afterwards. I highly doubt it though. I tried the Droid Turbo in the store today and like everything about the phone except received call quality. Sounds kinda muffled compared with S5. Really aggravating.

I am also having the same issues. Phone lags terribly. Gets super hot. Battery drains three times as fast. Fingers crossed for a quick fix!

The Android 5.0 update caused my phone's heart rate monitor to turn on anytime my screen is on, even when I put it on a table, I even preformed a FACTORY RESET and it's still doing it. Other than that I didn't have any problems. I would like screen pinning, guess mode, a flashlight in the notification panel, and double tap to wake as well.

Pretty much the same problems here with the Lollipop update.
- Battery Life is TERRIBLE. I used to get through 18 hours of heavy usage and still have plenty of juice left. Now, after the update, I can actually watch the percentage go down while looking at the screen. My phone is practically dead after 5 hours.
- The Phone starts to heat up for no apparent reason. If I wanted a hand-warmer I could have bought one for a lot less than this is costing me.
- Phone runs much slower and with more lag between changing apps - very annoying!
- Phone rang today and it was so lagging it wouldn't swipe to open the phone app soon enough (5 rings) and the call went to voicemail.
- The stupidest, most annoying pop-up saying "The Battery is Fully Charged". I keep my phone plugged-in next to my bed with the Night Clock app running so I can have a nice, LED type clock display, except after the phone gets charged this stupid pop-up comes on which is so bright it practically lights the whole room and of course it wakes me up at 2:30 AM with its stupid brightness. There should be a way to disable this, but of course there is not.
Please fix these ASAP Verizon!!!

Same here battery life is awful. Never had this problem.. I have wiped, did a factory reset, turned off all the google services. Verizon... this sucks!!! I've bought another charger and cord now to keep at work. I'm down too 80% on my phone at work within 30 minutes of arriving at work and my phone is on my side. I too have a bit of a heating issue not to the point of cool down or shut down but can tell. Verizon something isn't right here

Same problems as everyone else: battery drains, super hot/cool down mode, intolerably sluggish (including typing). Phone is practically useless.
New ones for the list:
-won't gain charge if being used with either/or wifi or GPS.
-native email app no longer syncs with certain versions of MSFT Activesync; therefore I can't get my corporate emails (workaround is use another app). But also means calendar, contacts don't sync (so much for relying on the phone for this week's travel)
-video playback is terrible.
I spoke to VZ tech support and then went to store. Their advice was wait for a patch....
IT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT VZ ALLOWED THIS UPDATE WITHOUT THOROUGH TESTING AND NO SUPPORT.

I wish I hadn't jumped onboard with this 5.0 TRAIN WRECK so quickly!
As soon as possible, I'll do a factory reset and revert to KitKat.

You cannot revert. Unless you do things that void your warranty.

A few new things I have discovered. At first the phone would not connect to my computer. The MTP driver would fail to load....It finally loaded today! I have been looking at battery usage and Google Services was at the top of the list. I disabled the GPS location reporting in that app and will see if it makes any difference. Also disabled the GPS or location on several apps. Phone was actually a little more responsive today (day 3) but still draggy compared to 4.4.4. Google Play is still hanging while updating apps. I am trying to update regularly to see if a bad app it causing some of this. You would think Samsung would have tested this on a phone without apps and not let it out the door if there was problems. Could be some sort of app causing some but not all of this. Still having Wi-Fi disconnect and reconnect often. I may try disabling Wi-Fi after I determine how much the location reporting was draining the battery.

A very large percentage of present apps are not 5.0 compatible yet. Some are limited. that's the trouble with early adoption...bugs and being ahead of the crowd.
