That's pretty cool. One more reason I am thinking about the MOTO 360.

One more thing that came to mind after I posted. TouchWiz runs well. No lag. But..I went into developer options and changed the animation from 1.5 to .5, I am sure that helped in how TouchWiz runs. I liked the Lollipop animations so I didn't want to turn them off completely.

Here are some of the things I noticed on Lollipop for the S4T, these are random, just things that are different.

1. When displaying previously used apps by pressing and holding home button...when you X out of an app, it actually closes the app. I know this because I watched the Active Apps and the apps that I X out...no longer appear in the active apps.

2. Popup window for text messages.

3. Color schemes are different for stock message app.

4. Samsung keyboard functions as well as Google's stock keyboard. .I have no interest is switch back to Swiftkey, Google, or Flesky.

5. S4T now has KNOX and it works well. Always was there, but apparently Sprint had turned it off, until L.

6. Notifications on lock screen.

7. Swipe down on lock screen to get to your panel, without unlocking phone.

8. WiFi Calling works flawlessly at this point.

9. Phone in general runs smooth.

10. Not much space after L was installed, probably around 7.5GB.

11. Bluetooth was updated, because now my Honda Pilot works well S4T and when connected, Pilot says "Bluetooth Audio" in italicized works...like my iPhone, it used to just say "BTA."

12. Battery life suffers a bit, but not much different. 40% by about 3pm, with phone unplugged about 615am.

That's all for now...I am sure I forgot stuff.

If you want it, do the factory reset, it should happen.

I am liking the L update on my 720T. It is what I was hoping for...makes my S4T seem different enough to hold me off until this Christmas Black Friday sale from Best Buy. I mentioned this before...it am hoping to get a Galaxy S6 for 1 buck. :-)

Not much space left after 5.0.1 update.

Just got the update as well.

Did you manually check for updates or did it just download overnight one day. How is touch wiz under Lollipop? I use Nova, but just curious if the L update improved the performance of Touch Wiz.

Did you do a factory reset after update?

@mayhew77 do you have the 720 or the 720T? What is your speed like...not data speed, but operational speed of the device...launching apps..switching apps..texting..etc?

A few people i know have a regular S4 720, they haven't received the OTA either. I used to check every morning, i have given up on checking.

I am OK with KitKat on my 720T, nothing really wrong with it. Since the latest update, the WiFi Calling is much better. Once it locks on to a WiFi, a few seconds later, the WiFi Calling locks on without me doing anything.

With all that said...getting the L update, will make my 720T feel like a new phone. Allowing me to stretch out the 720T until the Black Friday sale Best Buy always has...hoping to get a S6 for 1 buck. :-)

Do your both have a 720T (spark triband) model of S4 or just boyfriend?

The S4 (720) is a two year old phone, but the S4 (720T) isn't quite 2 years old. it only came out in late November or early December of 2013. At the time, one of Sprint's few actual tri-band phones.

What about receiving MMS in Hangouts, from Sprint w/full integration? Last time I tested, all incoming MMS still go to my Sprint phone, not my forwarded phones using Hangouts.

The latest build for 720T makes the WiFi Calling much more stable. I am sure there were other fixes but nothing visually, other than the new WiFi Calling app. The regular cell signal seems to be more accurate.

That's Good news. Every time Hangouts gets an update, I trying turning on the Hangouts/GV integration. It had problems, always switch back. I will try again to see the fix. Thanks for the info.

#jefbal99 Is that the wifi calling update or the Lollipop for 720T?

I have the S4 720T as well. No update yet. Sprint's site says Wi-Fi Calling enhancements. I hope it improves Wi-Fi Calling. I only use it when I absolutely have to.

I have the S4 720T. quite honestly, I don't ever recall my device roaming. but, I am in a strong Sprint coverage area. everywhere I have driven since owning the 720T...I am in LTE Spark or strong 3G. if my device has roamed, I didn't know it.

The lastest Hangouts update has seemed to fix the multiple like messages going to the other party.

I am having another issue with my contacts on Hangouts for iOS.

I installed Hangouts for iOS on my work AT&T iPhone so I can get my Sprint number calls and text messages on my iPhone.

For some reason, the iOS Hangouts is not picking up my Google contacts reliably. Some contacts show up with their correct name and picture, while others have a generic picture and number, instead of contact name and picture.

Anyone else figure out why this is hapoened? What's weird is my Hangouts for my Verizon S4 picks up the contact pictures and contact names just fine.

Only my Hangouts for iOS has this problem.

I can't answer that. I force Hangouts to send SMS from my Sprint GV number. Smart reply sounds good in theory, but didn't sound like a reliable function. I might try it, just to experiment.

Since I have installed the new Hangouts update...I have sent about 40-50 text messages (via Hangouts) to four different people...at this point...no one has complained about any repetitive text messages.

Google updated Hangouts today to version 2.4.78234730.

I am making it my default message app on my Verizon S4.

I have turned on Hangouts to replace my Sprint Google Voice.

Lets see if these multiple messages problems for Sprint GV users have gone away.

If anyone else has issues after this latest update, please post an update.

that makes you special. ☺ don't assume everyone else is fine, just because you haven't had any issues.
