However, unlike an OTA, it will do a Factory Reset and you will have to set it all up again from scratch.

Not true. That's only if you flash the factory image.

Sideloading won't reset anything. It's effectively the same as the OTA update. I always sideload the updates purely for that reason.

I stand corrected. I was indeed getting confused with a factory image.

Just updated to 5.0.2 on 2012 Nexus 7, suddenly the lag has disappeared.

Happy bunny time again.

Still waiting for mine. It's practically unusable at the mo.

Yes finally 5.02 is rolling out, mine arrived last night, and so far so good, my nexus7 is back to normal.

Ditto - I had been looking to replace the "previously useless" device since it "upgraded itself" to V5, but now all happy again

I'm still not happy with thus whole priority notifications option.
It still makes noise doing certain things, when I want it to be quiet, but still get my alarms

[LordGrover]

I too found it frustrating - it took me a while to grasp it. Still not 100% certain how/why but it works as I want it now. All priority interruptions off allows alarm(s).

Nexus 7 upgrading to 5.0.2 now in Oz.

I've resorted to turning my phone off in meetings etc as I can't trust the damn thing. I was in a meeting the other day and the power button must have been hit in my pocket somehow and then the volume must have pressed on my leg somehow and it made the sound of turning the volume up full (the beep that gets gradually louder).

Plus i'm still getting force close on various browsers now and again (using N5)

Not yet had the ota update on my nexus 5 - still on 4.4.4!
...
Any advice on forcing an ota?

Yeah, don't!

5.0 and 5.0.1 are both horrible on my N5!
IT's slow, buggy, and keeps crashing out of apps! It's gone from being a nice, smooth, fast device to being something reminiscent of my old Desire HD.
I'm looking for an easy way to roll back to KitKat until a decent major release comes out. Nasty, nasty thing.

I think you're in the minority, probably down to apps and not OS.

My Nexus 5 has been given a new lease of life by lollipop. It's faster, slicker, better battery life and new features.

On my Nexus 7 2013 these are the only issues I have with Lollipop 5.0.1

Chrome, very slow when quitting and occasional blank home screen and slow screen apps refresh, but this was the same on Kitkat. I think this is a pure Chrome issue related to bookmark syncing of which I have a lot. Just as calender widget slowness was related to all the gmail account I have, removing the other gmail accounts from the calender to just the one main one I use fixed that. Perhaps some of you have similarly fixed issues?

The only pure Lollipop issue I have is app closure Xs take a second or two to appear on the apps running screen, was faster closing them by swiping on Kitkat.

I've been on my replacement Nexus 5 for a few weeks and it went horribly laggy and crashy the other day. I traced it to Swift Keyboard so if you have that installed try switching back to the standard keyboard for a while and see if that helps.

Yup same here. It was a little laggy after the initial install, but I rebooted it and it's been great since then

Still not working for me as it should. Set to priority notifications only, yet my text message received still made a noise and so did WhatsApp. Putting my phone down on the wireless charger also made the annoying charging noise.

I have to set it to priority and then set the volume to 1

[LordGrover]

Have you checked app notifications in sounds and notifications?

I'm not doubting that lollipop is a good update but it seems to have had the reverse affect on my handset. It's sometimes slow and my N5 is starting to lag. I have to reboot the device once a week to get back to anything useable.

I've even gone as far as removing/disabling apps/features.

My Nokia 920 WP is completely rock solid and reliable in comparison.

I was experiencing problems on my 2012N7 until I installed "fast reboot" - it doesn't reboot the device, just closes down a bunch of processes. Seems to have done the trick - the interface on 5.0 is still sluggish (which implies some lousy coding), but haven't had to reboot now for anything other than the last update.

But my 1020, despite running the developers preview, makes both Android and iOS look like a buggy bloated mess in comparison.

Yeah everything is set as it should be, however with this new way of doing it, apps can override the priority notifications settings. WhatsApp have issued a new beta to see if it helps
