Got it
Got it too, it’s actually 5.0.2 🙂
Ok, also got it, and here’s a little summary what has changed:
Positively (IMO):
– works even more fluid
– unlocks and scrolls faster
– more apps on multitasking list
– one more slot in quick settings, if you used shortcut to normal settings, because now it’s above them
– new notifications menu (just… nice for me)
Negatively:
– where is my functional lock screen? It’s gone! No shortcuts to BlinkFeed and home screen, no widgets
– some actions are a little bit slower (not even a second, but I can see the difference)
– calendar doesn’t synchronize with Facebook
Also many provider branded phones are receiving the update. It’s not only the unlocked ones.
What about the latin america market? Will they get the update as well for unlocked devices?
