Didn't know about that, thanks. The new tabbing feature is horrible!

It would have made far more sense if Google had a Chrome section in the recent apps section and when clicked, it showed the tabs.
Or, keep the old behaviour. What was actually wrong with it?

I replaced the stock app with Quickpic within about 15 seconds!
The thing that's bugging me is that the "contacts" app just brings up my full list of contacts and my favourites whereas before I could have other groups (restaurants, taxis etc) visible as well!
I've tried using the "custom" view in the settings but it does nothing!
When will people learn... if it ain't broke, don't ******* fix it!!!!!!
Rooted yeah. Finally got it working on 5 after many attempts. I've lost everything (no idea why I didn't backup) but at least it's working now I guess.
Edit: Wow, battery life is absolutely amazing now!

The Lollipop notifications are seriously half-baked.
* What are Google thinking with the 'heads-up' notifications? They are awful compared to the 'ticker' in KitKat. You used to be able to read a whole message in the status bar. The new notifications take up four times as much space to display one line of a message. Then when you swipe the massive notification away, it disappears from notification center so you just have to open the app.
* Some apps display heads-up notifications when the screen is on. Others display no notification at all. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which is which.
* Notifications appear on the lock screen which just shouldn't. Why is it on the lock screen when a wi-fi network is available or the battery is low? Worse, when you have the 'sensitive' notification setting on, these notifications just display something stupid like 'Android System - content hidden'. They've just dumped every single notification onto the lock screen with no thought at all.
* The 'battery saver' notification. However many times you swipe it away, it comes back when the battery drops another 1%.
The notification revamp is a good idea in principle but the implementation needs a complete rethink for 5.1.

My signal with Three has dropped through the floor since "upgrading" to Lollipop - it's constantly showing zero signal at home despite the fact I used to get full bars and even more annoying, while I'm out and about it is always flipping from no signal to full without me doing a thing!?!?! 
Anyone else noticed any problems with mobile signal retention??

i have too, though i am with tmobile and it was on 4.4 and lower that i noticed this with the difference between 5.0 being android wasn't correctly showing i had no signal. it was showing that i have full bars of H data, but when i get to use it or make a call it'd fail and a few seconds later update that in fact i had nothing.
i'm not sure if signal is worse now, or just the way android reports signal is actually now better, and it's showing the failures of your network correctly.

Yeah I've had the same. I never had a great signal at home, but now I don't get a thing. At home I now just use airplane mode with WiFi enabled along with Three InTouch... I haven't been out and about much, but if the signal is poor everywhere I'll be rolling back to KitKat.
Im loosing the first 5% of my battery within mins of unplugging my charger now.. why?
Try doing a full charge dis-charge cycle.

Possibly. Have noticed at home that my phone takes an age to get a signal when I turn the phone on, plus is flipping between no signal and full signal.
I just think my area is not great for Three rather than Lollipop.

If you do need to replace the battery, its pretty easy. Took me about 20mins
