Android 5.x "Lollipop"
Discussion
My 2012 N7is still on kitkat, having never received a lollipop update OTA.
There are two 2013 N7s in the family, both have received a lollipop update (I'm guessing 5.0.1) - I asked if either had any problems since the update but I'm told both are working fine.

Did anyone go from 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 over the air
I kept my nexus 7 (2012) on KitKat due to the early problems with 5.0 but am wondering if I will have to sideload the update or wait for ota
Yes I went from 4.4.4 to 5.0 then to 5.02 ota, and to be honest the couple of day's I've been on the very latest version I wished I'd stayed on kitkat, yes the lag has almost been eradicated on lollypop now, but its still not as snappy as it was on kitkat, sometimes newest is not always best and 5.0 and its derrivatives does not bring that much to the table in improved interface and gimmicks to warrent upgrade IMHO, my nexus7 just worked as it should on kitkat, not the same now.I kept my nexus 7 (2012) on KitKat due to the early problems with 5.0 but am wondering if I will have to sideload the update or wait for ota

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
You still need to hit the bell icon next to the volume slider in the notifications bit. Mine is the same, priority notifications doesn't turn the sound off. It'll turn it back on whether I like it or not but I have to manually turn off sounds.The 5 update hit my 2012 N7 last night. It doesn't seem to have addressed the performance issue. The machine is significantly slower than when I bought it - there's plenty of storage space left too and I've closed all the unnecessary apps, so I'm not sure why.
I have all but given up on it in favour of using my N4 these days. Shame - I had such high hopes for 5.0.2 too.

I take it you've done a full reset? Did you have an early 2012 N7 by any chance. I discovered last year that some had dodgy flash so if you nearly filled them and even after emptying the performance just because so slow that a full reset was the only fix. Needless to say I sold it and got a 2nd hand 2013 N7 I have all but given up on it in favour of using my N4 these days. Shame - I had such high hopes for 5.0.2 too.
So much better.bazza white said:

No HDR on Nexus 10, I've just checked mine.
All Firmware and app up to date.
Cheers. I went back to factory and just wondered if it was supposed to be there. Looks a bit bare feature wise compared to n5All Firmware and app up to date.

Got the 5.0.2 update last night, but after reading the stories on here --dont know whether to install it or not.
Ist gen nexus 7 --on 4.4.4. at the moment and working fine.
If your tablet is running great on 4.4.4 I'd not bother, it may well update ok but it may not and I prefer kitkat over lollypop anyday, .Ist gen nexus 7 --on 4.4.4. at the moment and working fine.
I would switch back to Kitkat from 5.0.2 instantly if I could easily.
I'm still not sure what the upsides are supposed to be (on an old N7) to make it worthwhile. Is there a list of improvements somewhere?
And I've had plenty of bad downsides; random crashing, horrible lag, changed interface for no reason etc.
Is there a 5.0.3 on the way?
