Has anybody else found it continuously crashing and rebooting on Nexus 5.
Nexus 4 here, randomly switches off only since lollipop.Strange one that just started happening, whilst receiving calls the screen doesn't light up so I have to press the side button then all that displays is a notification bar saying 'Google dialer' or something, the phone is still ringing and I can't answer the call
Chaps just made the move over to roid from Ios, it's taking a bit of getting used to over the iphone software that's for sure, but over all I'm quite liking it.
Couple of things though I cannot work out is.
How can you change the battery icon to show battery %?
I have a keypad lock when the screen is a sleep, when I wake the phone and enter the password, it opens up the phone book, is the a way of setting it to wake to the home screen instead? (small issue at that but would prefer it didn't)
Is there a better email client as I have personnel gmail accounts and work accounts I need to see. I seem to be having a connection problem trying to setup works email accounts through gmail app? (might just be me though)
What handset and Android version have you got? Different manufacturers configure the OS in slightly different ways so that may influence the answers you get.
For the battery %age issue, go into your settings, into Power or Battery (depending on handset etc.) and check the box marked Show Battery Level. At least, that's what you do for 5.0.2 on my HTC One M7.

There is no Android setting to show the number % but you can do one of two things.Install this (which puts a number on the tiny battery icon, but can't be seen easily) it enables an Android feature they don't enable themselve - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.k...
Or this, it puts a proper number % on the left side of the notifications and can also show you what apps use the most juice - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com....
I use GSAM above.

Got the OTA for 5.0.2 on Thursday, which bricked my Xperia Z2 5 seconds after launching Youtube. I'm currently waiting for the battery to go flat so I can try to reset it.
Open the left hand side flap and use something pointy (drawing pin, pencil etc) to push the little red button. That will force it to restart.FourWheelDrift said:

All updated on my Z3 compact.
I feel the battery life suddenly isn't as good, and my el cheapo magnetic charging base now refuses to charge past 75% battery for some reason now too. My other magnetic charger works fine however, so I'm assuming its just coincidence and its bust.
I like the notifications on the home screen as I missed those from my Iphone. Not much else noticed yet though.

Any Nexus 9 users seen 5.0.2 or beyond yet? Mine's still on 5.0.1...
Keep an eye on this:https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
FWIW 5.0.2 seems to be Nexus 7 and 10 specific. I'm disappointed that Google are dragging their feet with 5.1 on the Nexus 9. Currently their premium tablet. 5.1.1 is now deploying on Nexus Player FFS! Give us 5.1 at least!

Chrome Tabs on the "task" button is just wrong.
You should be able to turn that off in Chrome - Settings - Merge tabs and appsGassing Station | Computers, Gadgets & Stuff | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
