Android 5.x "Lollipop"
Discussion
It's not the OS causing battery problems, otherwise we'd all suffer, no?
If anything, my battery life is improved by the lollipop update over kitkat.
What I've found drains mine is having 'active' widgets on the desktop. Google's News and Weather widget completely knackers mine in about 12 hours whether I use it or not. Remove it and back to 36 hours-ish per charge.

My Nexus 4 has come up with the 5.0.1 update, I wasn't brave enough to try it two days ago but the feedback seems pretty good so I'll give it a go. My camera app has also been crashing and rebooting the phone at really bleeding awkward moments (small child meeting Father Christmas ) so a fix for that would be good.
I haven't checked if 5.0.1 is showing on my Nexus 7, the tablet is close to unusable with Lollipop on it, I haven't tried emptying the cache, so I'll do that when I've some time over the next week. Are there any other suggestions, it's really really laggy and keeps locking up on various applications.

Clearing cache on nexus7 worked for a short time, but it then goes back to lag city, it's really annoying and obviously why they pulled 5.0 from being released to other units, begs the question how it got passed for release in the first place, 5.1 may be a while as they might need more time to be sure it actually works.

Apparently Google have released images of 5.0.2 for the 2012 nexus7 so thing's may be on the move soon.
Yes, I noticed that too. I might even download it and apply it, although first I will have to learn how to apply a downloaded factory image. And whilst I'm at it I might download the 4.4.4 factory image too. Gassing Station | Computers, Gadgets & Stuff | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
