Yes as you said it's more stable. Dear friend one more final doubt. If Samsung releases the next firmware in my country (india) can I flash it normally or should I do the same steps like I did for Panama.

lollipop update g900h

So, there was an update available for the Indian version of S5 finally and I installed it. Haven't done a factory reset yet and here is my view on the new firmware.

Its alright. Nothing that different, the material design implementation everywhere sucks. I am personally not a big fan of it.

Device is quite laggy, I presume that's because I did not do a factory reset yet. So let's talk about this later.

Quite a few bugs, like the heart rate sensor randomly starts turning when something comes near. I initially thought that's a cool notification idea, but it turned out to be a bug.

This is just the beginning. I am sure I will run into more issues as I keep using it.

Over all, Android L is alright, but it appears half baked. Waiting for 5.1

[Galaxy S 5 General] emze:
I am sorry I can't help you out on this one. I haven't really been looking at developments in android since, the One X and I've changed 4 phones already.

It was an OTA
[Galaxy S 5 General] Salim.Keady:
Changelist is the same number man ... so basically no changes

However a friend of mine said it pretty slow ... india version

I cant confirm for that

Panama Works like a charm

In case you wanna flash it

Rename .md5 to tar and flash without modem.bin

Basband stays bob1

- stable

- As u seen difference in recent post (Benchmark Scores) improvement in performance

- No any force close error ( till now i used it 24 hours)

- Battery is as stable as Panama Rom not big difference (24 hours Of used)
[Galaxy S 5 General] prateek57:
my experience

I skipped the panoma version and flashed indian boc3 version over boad version day before yesterday here is my review

Battery life is well optimized

Phone works absolutely fine without any issues

Biggest plus is no bloatwares on firmware.

But my antutu scores are just 36000 something. But no lags anyways even while playing asphalt 8, temple run2, angry birds transformer and tekken6

I will try factory wipe and get you updated though m afraid i will have to install all my apps again.

I've given every 900H lollipop build a try. The only improvements I see are in the fingerprint scanner department. Everything else is like plain crap. The recent apps lag, battery life, stuttering animations and yes, camera takes ages to open on lockscreen.

The biggest problem I feel is the multitasking experience. What's the use of 2 gig RAM if I am not able to use 3 or 4 apps simultaneously. 5.0 is really a bad update. Waiting for 5.1.
