Verizon Galaxy S5 Update Lollipop Tutorial

Verizon recently launched the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for their Samsung Galaxy S5. That provides many of the new features that can come just like that of Lollipop as well as its own tweaks and enhancements. Customers may immediately notice Materials Design which adds fluid animations and themes to the operating system. Shortcuts for Phone and Camera are now available from the lock screen which will display Material Design-inspired notifications and allow users to set priority and privacy for notifications displayed on the lock screen. Music controls will be displayed as a card to maximize the use of screen real estate. TouchWiz brings a brighter look and feel as well as fluid animations and bold colors also inspired by Material Design.

System Update While You Are Roaming

If you are roaming you will not receive a system update notice. To update your device while you are roaming, you will need to be in an area where Wi-Fi is available.

1. Begin by enabling Wi-Fi on your device.
2. To enable Wi-Fi on your device, go to “Settings” > under Wireless & Networks, touch “Wi-Fi ON” to enable (if not already enabled)
3. Touch “Wi-Fi” to view and select a Wi-Fi network. Once you are connected, an update notification will appear on your device. If the system update fails to install, you will get an error screen. However, this only
   means the software did not install properly. Remove and re-insert the battery and power the device back on.

The device will power back on with original software and will prompt you once again to install the system update.
