Lollipop is here for 850m on Tmobile

I'm downloading it now...

I hope I don't regret it. It seems like there are mixed reviews on it so far....

A Alpha for Tmobile? Or you get it from ATT ?

As noted in the subject, this is the 850M. It is an unlocked octa-core version not the quad-core 850T from ATT.

So far, all I can say is that I'm not impressed with Lollipop and not sure what all the buzz was about... Heck, I may even go back to KitKat if I don't see some added benefit.

I'm switching back to KitKat. The battery drain sucks big time. I am going thru 2 batteries a day and no real new features that I can see...

Is there a way to go back without losing all my setup (apps, homepage setup, passwords, etc.) or do I just have to do a factory reset?

I hate Lollipop on my 850M and want to go back to KitKat. I hate the white background, it's slower (even after the memory cache clearing) and it drains the battery faster. The main reason is the white background. I HATE IT.

So, how can I go back to KitKat?
