So far wifi performance is fantastic. Back to unbelievable fast levels.
Got a tip for us?

OS X 10.10.4 Experiences (and trimforce)

To be honest I couldn't tell you; I just enabled it myself an hour or so ago. So far though I've experienced no issues.
I would assume that it's safe based on the sheer number of people who were using Trim Enabler before Yosemite came out, but I can't make you any promises. Apple does include a rather lengthy warning when enabling Trim about potential data loss. Wether that's legalese designed to cover their butts or if they saw data loss on some third party SSD's in the lab, your guess is as good as mine.
Yeaaah trimforce works!
My wifi had one hangup though already, exactly the same as with 10.10.3 – despite icon showing I am connected, no data is coming through. I hope it's just teething problems and a few restarts will take care of it.

So far I don't really see any difference other than trimforce. I did have the network renaming bug but it could take days before I can tell for sure if the removal of discoveryd fixed that. Performance is no better or worse for me. I didn't really have any particular performance issues other than my BT mouse getting very laggy and requiring a restart quite often. That issue is still there, I even replaced the MM with a brand new one and it's the same.
What wouldn't it be safe? It's an Apple command! AND IT"S ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just installed 10.10.4 on my 5,1 Mac Pro with 10 internal drives. 4 Samsung SSDs, 3 HDDs (2 Seagate and 1 WD), 1 Seagate SSHD, 1 LG DVD optical drive and 1 LG BluRay drive. Before installation I turned Trim off in Disk Sensei. After installation I enabled it with the terminal command. I also installed the latest Beta Nvidia driver. So far, everything's working fine. Disk Sensei says: "Trim has not been enabled, but is working anyway."

Mail can not connect to servers (all accounts) after the update.
Same here. I have a number of mail accounts, and the two gmail accounts refuse to connect after upgrading. The icloud and others work. My iOS (iphone and ipad) connect fine to the gmail accounts; however, after upgrading to 10.10.4, the mac will not.
Connection Dr. can be useful, but it basically is telling me that it failed to login. Username/Passwords are correct (logging in via the web clients works fine).
Exactly my experience, and the softwareupdated process kept eating memory. Watching it in Activity Monitor climb from 500MB to 4.5GB (before I shut it down) I just burst out laughing. Nothing I tried would fix it .. reboots, killing and restarting softwareupdated, etc. I finally booted into Recovery mode and installed 10.4.4 from there. This fixed the App Store hang as well. PITA
On another forum, someone claimed to have the same issue, and they suggested to delete the content of "library/updates". Unfortunately, I had the same problem as you do, so I did what was suggested, emptied the paper basked, restarted my MB, and tried to update again. Voilà, it worked perfectly fine.
I was able to get it to work by going into the account settings and for each of my gmail accounts, I checked "Automatically detect and maintain account settings" in the Advanced tab. After that, it began to work again.
There will be updates to Trim Enabler and Disk Sensei tomorrow that will actually make them a more safe way to enable Trim on OS X than trimforce.
I've received Apple's approval on a new driver that will enable Trim on 3rd party drives without writing anything to /System. This allows for Trim enabling without disabling system security (rootless) on El Capitan, as well as the following for OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 or above:
- Disabling kext signing is no longer necessary
- The “gray boot screen/stop sign” issue is gone
- Your system is no longer modified in any way
- Trim will no longer reset on updates

Excuse me, but, why exactly Trim Enabler will be a safer way to enable TRIM on OS X than trimforce command?
I'm just curious.
Also I'd like to thank you for all this years being able to activate TRIM on my mac thanks to TRIM Enabler.
Good news indeed. Can you elaborate how it's more safe than the OS X trimforce command?

Coming tomorrow
Oskar that's wonderful to hear, and great to hear that Apple is on board and has finally given you the approval you need and deserve. I, also, would like to know how it could be better than the Terminal Command.

Nice update for me. WiFi seems much better, and I'm seeing good battery life (using Safari). Snappy etc. I always run the cocktail app after an update too.
No, you need an external SSD connected via Thunderbolt to activate TRIM. It will not work when running over USB 3.
Been running on 10.10.4 for a couple of hours now and so far I'm really impressed. Safari is snappier as others have noted but the big difference for me was the cold boot start up time, it cut mine in half from 15 seconds to 8 seconds or slightly less! Mail is working fine for me. So far I'm loving it

Apparently, it takes 100% CPU utilization for the Mac App Store just to check if there are updates. So far it won't show anything for me and I eventually have to force quit the App Store. I was just going to update iTunes as I won't update to 10.10.4 until I've done a more recent complete back-up. This is the point Apple's software quality has come to. Their huge thing was having a new music service that came out yesterday. During that day I was at no point able to update iTunes to use the new music service. Can you imagine how Tidal would have been treated in the press if that were the case with their service? And how can just checking for an update take up so much processor usage? My computer sounds like it's ready for take-off with the fans blasting each time I try opening the App Store. This is why I do complete back-ups before ".1" updates now, which is another sign of Apple's software quality decline. Maybe they need to bring back optical drives and send out discs because they have never gotten the hang of Internet services. In fact they are going backward. Updates worked much better under the Software Update app versus the App Store. Spotify updates itself automatically all the time, and it's working on top of Apple's technologies. Apple controls every part of my eco-system: the Mac, the OS, my wireless router, but it just doesn't work anymore.
3-4 hours means your battery has issues... I've the same year computer and I am getting about 9-10 hours depending on what I do. I'd highly have apple check it... you might be able to get a new battery if there's something wrong with it. Perhaps try to reinstall your system or try doing a clean new system to check?
