Samsung acknowledges Galaxy S5 Lollipop update issues Comments

Why does my Samsung S5 keep telling me I have a software update and need to delete any unused apps and pictures to free up enough space...... I have plenty of space and when I try to update, it tells me my software is up to date and check back later. Of course, when I go back to my main screen I still have the notification that i need to delete files to free up space.
I know I have enough space because the first time i tried to check for an update it wouldn't let me until I did free up space. So, now what?

I finally did the update to my Galaxy S5 and it ruined my phone. It would no longer charge. I was told at the Version store that there was no way to undo the update and this happens alot. Also that Samsung accepts no responsibility for it because I CHOSE to do the update. I had to get a new phone. Not happy..

I read your post and have similar problems with the A9pro (lollipop)like screen freezing and video crash.
I try VLC, KMP and others which have also issues and found one called simply "Video Player"
Since then I can read all videos in any format again without any problems.
Seems to be an incompatibility between former good players on Android 5 and 6.
"Video player" App and uninstall all the apps with problems cleared most issues.
Hope this can help you.

My Samsung Note 4 is constantly freezing and rebooting since the system upgrade on Aug 16,2016. I have deleted many APPs that I thought could have been creating a conflict with the New Upgraded system and it helped somewhat. My phone only rebooted itself about 5-6 times a day but it still goes to Black screen for about 60 seconds after the APP freezes. My phone now is so slow and whats up with my phone Pausing as it only 1/2 way thru the reboot?

I have also many same problems with the update like other s5 users. Battery drain faster, video player crashing files, the phone get hot with use and slower too. But the most annoying since the update, bluetooth connection is not automatically any more. Any time I enter my car I have to connect the phone like is new device.

Since the lollipop update, the quick menu has disappeared and the phone no longer recognises the earphone jack and therefore no longer automatically brings up the music play menu.
I thought I could live with that but no I find the music player crashes midway through songs.
What the???? Up until this update I was pro Samsung, but this is quickly changing. Samsung please fix these issues.

I'm happy to say the battery drain issue seems to have been resolved, yesterday (21Aug2016) the battery charge life seems to be solved and is better than it was prior to Aug.
I known it's only a day since the correction - therefore, I hope I won't have cause to report anything to the contrary.
Please stop all the updates - are they necessary (unless it is to fix an existing problem).

Sansung S5 - battery charge used to last 4/5 days, in the last week the charge only lasts less than 24hrs.
This will be my last Samsung - too many updates that that create problems
