Lollipop on the S5

Last week I got the "Over The Air" update to Android 5.0 on my Samsung Galaxy S5.

A download of 924 MB (rounded down). 3 GB of storage necessary to install.

I had to uninstall Goat Simulator to upgrade the OS, and then spent half an hour disabling apps I had disabled in KitKat before the upgrade. To summarise: the OS upgrade was a pain in the goat horns.

The good thing is that I am enjoying Lollipop on the S5, mostly because I am runnning the Google Launcher and using all Google apps.

All About Android 183 - The Appeal of a Diverse Ecosystem

This week I was a guest on All About Android, the TWiT.tv netcast about all things Android. It was great to be back on the show with Gina Trapani, Jason Howell, Ron Richards and Bryan Burnett.

Check out the Youtube video I have embedded below.

In episode 183 we discussed the name of Android 5.0 and called it the day (before?) Lollipop was announced. I also got to speak of my review of the Tesco Hudl 2, and demoed the Skyscanner Hotels app. (Also avalable at http://twit.tv/show/all-about-android/183)
