Android 5.x "Lollipop"

[LdnShtr]

My 2012 Nexus 7 updated to 5.0.2 from 4.4.4 a day or two ago and has been fine too. Glad I didn't upgrade to the original 5 when it was offered though. As it had made a mess of my Nexus 5 I assumed it would do the same for the tablet!

5.0.2 on it's way for 2013 N7 and N10 - http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/01/15/google-pos...

5.0.2 wasn't any better on my 2012N7 than 5.0. No obvious improvement in the point update.

Still no news for the N4?

:Bigsigh: My 2012 N7 is still as laggy as a laggy thing despite the 5.0.2 update.

So...what do I do? If I use the factory reset function, is it straightforward to set it up again? I've got Google and Play accounts so will it just reconnect to everything and reinstate itself? Is there anything else that I should back up and if so how? Lastly what will it restore to 5.0.2 but hopefully a cleaner version?

Thanks for any help - I'm fine using this stuff but crap at troubleshooting.

If you want to keep things like pictures and screenshots or files downloaded, you can back then up to your Drive account if the auto backup feature isn't enabled. Then reset it.

It should be straightforward. Reset it, enter your Google account details and most of it should come back by automatically downloading.

Working fine, hasn't become a toaster.

I assume then that the delay for moto g 2nd generation (and 1st) is due to them making a bolliks of it first time round.

Works fine on my nexus 10 though, no complaints.

No reported problems on the 2013 spec version, as it has different internals to the 2012 which does not like lollypop.

Yup. My 2013 N7 is showing availability too. Now I have to remember how to disable the notification again like I did for 5.0.1 or it'll keep pestering me.

Wasn't it just hold down on the notification?

Yes, I think you might be right. Although I have a feeling that might turn off *all* notifications from Google Play. Which actually is fine by me as I get notifications from it almost daily.

[FourWheelDrift]

Update on going from 5.0.1 to 5.0.2.

No longer have random blank home screens and slow icon refreshes when exiting Chrome or if I have a lot open.

Ps. This was something that happened in Kitkat as well but seems to have gone now.

I still get "update requires approval" notifications, but my 5.0.1 never materialized. Checking manually it now claims that my 4.4.4 is up to date!

(I'd actually quite like to know how to get my system notifications back for when a stable 5.# update does arrive.)

Thanks, I'll give it a go at the weekend, Cheers.

Just got my 5.02 update OTA on my 2012 N7. Wasn't offered 5.0 or 5.01. Happy so far seems fast and not mega different.

My Galaxy S5 updated to 5.0 a couple of days ago. Haven't noticed too many changes apart from the new notifications and new graphics in the dialler, calculator, settings etc. Initially the battery life seemed to suffer but I did a factory re-set and now it seems to be back to normal.

still waiting for my M8 to update to 5

HTC said within 90 days. So they have 10 days left.

Update's have been rolling out in USA.

I thought I read somewhere the other day that it was for all "unlocked" versions but seems it was just USA.
