Try moving most apps possible to SD card that will help for those with problems
Looks like 2 gb ram of S5 is not enough

    Well the S3 got killed with the kitkat update where it kept lagging wanting more processor power. Nothing can fix that.
    The s5 COULD be on that route too if Samsung dont fix it.
    The note series are the only ones that handle samsungs firmware well but who knows what the Loilpop will bring to that series
    A little help does come with using Nova launcher and disabling some google apps which you dont use

      i have updated my S5 to Android Lollipop and did a factory reset but compared to Android 4.4.2 it's still not as stable. there's jitters and a little bit of lag and i hope this will be fixed on the next update, and i wish that will be 5.1 haha

        I took some pictures of sunset at around 5 PM from Galaxy S5. Does it affects the camera? Camera is working fine but i've read some articles about it, pointing the camera at sun cause damage to lens?

          It was perfectly fine before on kitkat since release with small speeds improvements with the 2 previous updates if i remember correctly.

          I don't really care much anyway about lollipop since i intend to switch to S6 when it comes out in 2 months. I only hope Samsung will not have thrown away too many options of touchwizz or then...

I am no expert to why this version has gone so wrong and is installed on hardly any devices.

So feel free to do it.

                Despite countless comments saying to not upgrade to lollipop on S5, how bad it is, people are all willing to upgrade then back to complaining.

                              I upgrade it to 5.0 Lolipop and the phone its slow like never,the new update slows down the phone for 40 % instead of making it fast.I ll sell it ASAP.

                                Each and every flagship models of Samsung has few glitches and hanging issues.
                                Apart from fooling the customers in the name of best hardware configuration why don't you focus more on your software optimization..!!
                                We customers buy your product and then wait for an update to solve issues, again after the update we wait for further updates to solve new issues and the process goes on, but we never get a final solution from your end..!!
                                Enough is Enough, this is my last phone, and from now I will better buy a Nexus phone..!!
