noooooooooooooo
really?
thats going to drive me fucking crazy
anyone running 5.0 on a moto x? did motorola put this function back into their version of 5.0?
Really. Best you can do is head into downtime or just go into the "none" notification style to avoid it.

No, unlocking will wipe your device

This no disturbances mode is a little weird. I thought it would completely block all notifications? But it doesn't. I still get them, they just don't cause any sound or vibration. So it seems like it actually does work like silent mode did in the past.
Yeah, there's no way of knowing when you'll get the update. Google always does staged rollouts, starting with just 1% of all phones. You might get it tomorrow or a week from now. Or you can perform the update yourself, it's not that difficult.

I have a moto G (2014) with 5.0 and chrome crashes every time I open a new tab, it hangs when I press the home button, then my apps a widgets are missing on the home screen for a second then reappear. Oh and sometimes when I open a tab my phone gets a black screen. It is also very laggy and it isn't as smooth as before
is this a ram limitation problem or is there some fix for my problems?

No disturbances mode seems to work much like silent mode. I thought you wouldn't get any notifications at all in that mode, but I do still get them (they show up on the lock screen, at least). They just don't cause any sound or vibration.
Great. Sounds like its time to upgrade
Do a factory reset. That shouldn't happen! Lolipop should run better than KK, not worse.I have a moto G (2014) with 5.0 and chrome crashes every time I open a new tab, it hangs when I press the home button, then my apps a widgets are missing on the home screen for a second then reappear.

Holy crap, so much misinformation. No, flashing the factory image without wiping is fine, as long as you were stock and were going to get the OTA anyway. I've been doing this for years and on multiple devices, and it's always been fine.
Just to confirm though, Zaraki, are you running stock? (Basically, were you eligible for the OTA anyway?) If so, you can use the factory image, just modify the script to avoid the wipe. Yes, it is safe. If this screws up your phone the OTA would have screwed up your phone.
If you wipe from a factory image you will lose just about all your app data that is not Google. Sure, it'll remember where your icons are but you're going to be setting up stuff like non Google email accounts and logins, just about all non-Google app data, high res pictures and videos if you don't back them up to the cloud, etc. Someday 3rd party app devs will be using Google's app data backup API but until that happens wiping your phone isn't so seamless. Also, I'm pretty sure a "wipe phone" as in "factory data reset" from the phone menu is different from a "wipe" from flashing the factory image, the former I think may not delete the media directory but the latter actually reformats every partition on the phone, EVERYTHING is guaranteed to be gone after flashing a factory image without modifying the script.
Here you go Zaraki, instructions here, pay attention to step 3:

Alternately, you can sideload the OTA if people have found the zip file for it.

Lollipop OTA zips: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/11/13/flash-all-the-things-lollipop-ota-update-zip-file-roundup/
No, the OTA does not wipe your device. Flashing the factory image without wiping is basically the same thing as applying the OTA. Sideloading the OTA is, well, applying the OTA.
yeah but then it turns off alarms if you have any. makes no sense
And the hour intervals are a bit weird if you don't opt for the indefinitely route. 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours. Sometimes that dips into the time of my alarm so I'm forced to adjust DnD time.

Still waiting for OTA N7 2013. And no, I don't want to root or sideload or whatever you youngins do to make these things work. I'll just wait impatiently for the damn OTA system update.
Okay. No root, no sideload. Flash it instead! c;

I don't know what that means either. I'm an old.
I have the same problem with building a PC. All thumbs, instructions may as well be written in Sanskrit.
Typical inexplicable decision by Google :/
I think it's supposed to improve with time after it learns your usage pattern or something like that.

I can't wait till I get the eventual non buggy and non shitty version of Lollipop on my One M7. I will gladly wait.

Dang man, still waiting for the update on my Nexus 5. Hurry up, already!
Same here.

Guys I just updated my nexus 5 to Lollipop over USB because my WiFi doesn't work. Now whenever the screen turns off the phone reboots itself... any help?
Three dots in the upper right corner, buddy.
EDIT: If you opened it, hit the button you usually do for recent apps and the tab will be there, but really it should open right away. You can change that in settings, though, do not merge tabs and recent apps.
Won't I lose all my apps and data?
Can I backup everything by just copying everything to my PC?
Edit:
I really don't want to lose my app data or text messages so how would I back this up?
Depends on your device and manufacture.

It's already out buddy
Xperia Z2.
OK my phone is now reporting that I can average 23 hours before it needs a charge. In fairness I had to greenify a bunch of apps.
Still this is 8 hours more than what I used to get on KitKat and even then I had to par back some things.
I hope this improved further as its reported that lollipops gets more efficient over time.
Edit.
Just read that rooting lollipop is sort of pointless since the way it's developed. More here

Flashed my nexus 7 (2012) and really liking lollipop, everything is consistent and there are some good new feature.
Problem is I don't think the OG nexus 7 can quite handle this as I've experienced lots of stutter, delays in apps opening and slowdown
Oh well I'll be getting a Nvidia Shield tablet by Xmas so at least it gives me a chance to get familiar with lollipop.

I would love to hear updates about longterm performance. I'm waiting for when my mom gets an OTA for her 2012 N7 and ArsT's review of their unity w/ Lollipop left me with little confidence.

Some of my apps don't work which I'm guessing is coz they are not optimised for 5.0 yet. When I open 2 or more apps everything goes slow, for example if I open up my Sonos app to play music then open up chrome it gets slow and more tabs I open the worse it gets.
I might remove Flipboard coz damn that gets bad at times
I'm hoping Google do an update to improve performance unless I'm just unlucky and lollipop performs better on other people's OG nexus 7

Like what?
I might have to tell her to hold off then until more people give the go ahead.

I'll continue using Silence then which basically works like Do Not Disturb on iPhone.
Flickering/flashing, some layout bugs. No biggie, just not as smooth and polished on the whole as you might expect.
