-Silent mode to toogle on the go, whenever you want without entering any parameter submenu, just with quick toogle buttons or long power press menu.
-And Blocking Mode which was way more convenient than priority mode half assed option : it was schedulable. But i doubt you were using it or you would miss greatly that option.
That's why we complain.
And to support my complain, i have a LG G3, and it has BOTH options on Lollipop.
Blocking mode was in Galaxy S3/S4 before it appeared on some IOS update, we had an original feature which got wiped out whereas now it's included in many other phones be default (i have a lenovo Sisley too which has it).

johnv, 24 Jan 2015my Moto g was updated to Lollipop 5.0.2 last week. so your point is not valid.Nice for you. Motorola hasn't a better support of his phones than others, that's my point. We on Moto X, "flagship of 2013 unlike your Moto G", have a battery draining bug since 4.4.4 in last June. they never issued a single bugfix update.
That's why updates for motorola are bull.
Waiting for 7 months for an OS update to get rid of a bug? Nice. I only bought Motorola last year, because i thought i would get "top updates speed". So don't come in bragging your mid-low end phone here, for "once that you got an update". We are talking about flagships.

why indian variant G900H is not recieving 5.0, Its shame on samsung.
samsung is unable to compete with a handset like moto g in delivering updates. Its shame & Its funny!
Iam not comparing it with nexus, But atleast for the flagship devices like s5, samsung should release updates before devices like moto g.
wake up samsung people will definitely doubt in purchasing your s6 again!

Thanks for the Lollipop feedback. Are you saying that there's no way to silence t... more @Original-Jamaican.... instead of silent mode in lollipop there is a option called 'priority mode' which is similar to 'Do not disturb mode' in iphones. Ther you can configure how long you phone will remain in 'silent mode' etc... you can even make calls form strangers 'silent' and calls from your 'contacts' normal'. But it is not as fast as 'silent mode' where you can just turn it on.I am a Moto G user and i feel like i bought a new phone after i updated to lollipop.
But in TouchWiz there is not much changes in icons etc apart from colur changes in 'settings , dialer etc. Videos of S5 with lollipop is available at Youtube.....BTW free ram is around 400-450mb(1 gb) in lollipop instead of 300-350(1 gb) in kitkat. and battery life is improved as well..

Rahul, 22 Jan 2015I should buy iphone 5s or samsung s5 ? which one will be best for me ? Please Answer fast!!!!Well, comparing both hardware and prices, definitely a Galaxy S5, its cheaper and faster. BUT, anyone knows how to use an iphone, so if you're not an advanced user, buy an iphone. Anyone can teach you how to do anything, its the easiest phone to use.
I gave an iphone to my mom and she learned to use it in a week.
Hope you buy what fits you better.
