That sounds like a mess.

The only thing I would care to see is the calendar icon showing the current date and the weather icon showing the current conditions. Statically.
 
Been experiencing some pretty critical issues since updating my N4 to 5.0.1. Incoming and outgoing calls appear to function correctly and ring the device, but once answered absolutely zero audio or mic function. Just silence for both parties. A reset fixes the issue temporarily.

Hopefully they can get this one sorted quickly. It seems to be discussed in issue 82949.

What network are you on? Ive actually been getting the same problem but my LG G3 is stock and not at 5.0 yet. On T-Mobile ..

Bell in Canada. Network is unaffected as all other traffic appears to work correctly.

We have 3 devices (Nexus 4/5) on TMobile and 1 on AT&T, all on 5.0 or 5.0.1 and no issues whatsoever.

When the 5 Moto G's (3 first gen, 2 2nd gen) get Lollipop I'll try to report back.

My N4 did this A LOT once 5.0.0 was installed. Like I had to try each outgoing call 2-3 times. Hard reset didn't fix it.

I ended up with a onePlus a week ago. No complaints since.
 
Well, I got the 5.0 for my N7-13 almost as soon as it launched (OTA update). Completely sucked, horrible update! Screen became very unresponsive, missed clicks constantly, gaming was a nightmare. Turned off animations as suggested, small improvement but still not really functional. Rolled back to 4.4.4 and happy again.

Now my tablet constantly bugs me to install 5.0.1 but, um, no. Thinking Lollipop is going to have to wait until my next tablet purchase.

Still no update for me and I have the same tab. 🙁
 
My N7 has been flawless with Lollipop. Much improved over KitKat as far as smoothness goes.

But I also did it clean with factory images since I used the tablet to demo Lollipop.

I really also hate the whining about not getting the OTA. It's Android, and it's a Nexus. Apply it yourself. Assuming that you're actually stock. That's never been answered.
 
5.0.1 on Nexus 7 FHD is indeed flawless.
So I don't understand the reason to hold out because 5.0.0 was sub-par.....

Same issue for me on the AT&T network. Affecting my phone and my wife's (both N4's).

Both of them? You don't honestly believe that there's a single device out there which has the definitive experience for the entire line?

Aside from configuration and userland differences, there might have been a slight hardware revision between the two which makes a difference.

This is correct.

Just make the jump yourself. It's a Nexus. You can go back to KitKat if you want.

A slight hardware revision is the difference between a working and non responsive screen? Doubt that.
 
It appears us 2012 Nexus 7 owners are getting 5.0.2 instead. I guess that explains the delay.

The next minor release of Android is going out just a couple of weeks after 5.0.1. But don't head to your Settings menu just yet: it looks like this one is just for the 2012 version of the Nexus 7, at least at the moment. Because the N7 2012 (Wi-Fi version) has yet to receive Android 5.0.1, this could be a rare model-specific release. Right now the new build has been published as code in the Android Open Source project and a system image is also available.

It looks like it's addressing the storage speed issues on that model. There are a couple of mentions of TRIM.

Be increasingly aggressive about fstrim if it isn't being run
 
5.0.2 with specific fixes for a 2012 1st gen Nexus 7. I absolutely love that Google continues to not just support it, but have specific fixes as well. The Nexus 5 will have a long lifetime. I'll probably end up breaking it before Google stops support.

Hypothetical example:

Nexus 7 rev 1 is found to have a small hardware bug that there's a 4.x OS workaround for.
Nexus 7 rev 2 doesn't have this bug.

Rev 1 has a rewritten fix in Lollipop that isn't as good as the original fix, or fails to take into account a related factor which possibly might not have been relevant in Android 4x (say another OS module that has been rewritten with a new idea in mind for Lollipop).

A variation on that example:

Rev 2 doesn't have this hardware bug, the rewritten fix in Lollipop doesn't properly reflect this situation, and so rev 2 ends up with a detrimental bit of coding in effect, perhaps only with certain configuration / userland scenarios.
 
Outside of waiting for the OTA update, I have three Nexus tablets just got 2 2013 for my kids.

One is stuck at 4.4.4 while the other is at 5.0

my 2012 is stuck at 5.0 and is a steaming pile at the moment to use.

I wish I knew how these random updates decide to appear even after attempting to manually check for the update.

Same here, and from what I'm reading, I'm thinking 4.4.4 is just fine. You'd think that Google would reach out to registered users of their devices to let them know what the score on the release is, but instead we are left to wonder. Well, I've lost all interest. Good luck to you who bit on this when it came available. At least AT&T brought my SG4 up to 4.4.4 without having to be nagged.
 
I wish Nexus owners on a tech enthusiast forum would stop whining like babies and just install the OTA's themselves.

No unlock necessary, no root needed, and no data lost.

If I side load to 5.0 like you are suggesting, will I get the OTA updates to 5.0.2?
