You mean M7, right? Yeah, there is no way to 'exit all' anymore, but I thought that's how all Lollipop is (I made a jump from 4.4.2 directly to 5.0.2). If you're rooted, you might want to try installing Xposed and then Sense Toolbox mod. I remember getting the 'exit all' option in a previous Android version when Sense didn't have it.

When my M8 got lollipop I noticed the same thing. Couldn't exit all. But, I noticed in the upper right you can choose settings then layout then choose grid view. That view puts an X in the upper right corner that exits all open apps. I assume this setting might be in the M7 as well.

Good tip, thanks! I didn't know this. I like the 'lollipop look' of the cards better, but I think I'd switch to the grid view from time to time when I feel the need to clear out apps.

In case anyone needs to know, looks like lollipop is finally available for T-Mobile note4's.

Got it last weekend on my AT&T LG G2. Not a fan so far. Some questionable design decisions in this most recent version. :(

I like it more then 4.4, but I don't like how much white they used. It kills battery life compared to using the dark blue and black like ice cream sandwich

I FINALLY got it on my Tab S 8.4 here in Canada, and I think it's a LOT better. Everything feels a lot smoother, faster, and I don't notice little lags here and there anymore! Battery life seems fine as well.

Two things,

1. isn't this white easier to see in daylight? i think it is.
2. the white is the base android color but how much time are you in the android menu, apps are still the same colors so how that impact battery life?
