It looks to me that the update process has been changed with lolliipop. I have to do more in approving(?) or/and select update all for stuff that used to be auto-updated; will have to pay attention more on what will be updated; the Galaxy Tab Pro still don't need to select update when getting the notification as the notification usually say that such and such got updated. Looks like I need to pay attention to the differences as both tablets have the same apps... Will need to pay attention to what happens on the ASUS MemoPad that I use as a universal remote controller; the ASUS does require the OK to update all even if the apps were ASUS bloatware! Guess I may not be too anxious to get Android 5.x onto the Galaxy Tab Pro.
