Just got the Lollipop update on my Verizon 2014 Moto X! I figured it would be at least another couple weeks before we got it on Verizon. Very nice looking and smooth. I'm absolutely in love with the new Notification shade and task switchers.
It does require root to get the full functionality though.
Got impatient waiting for update on unlocked rooted Nexus 7 2013 WiFi. Grabbed WUGS Root Toolkit 1.9.8 and did some quick homework to see if anything has changed.
Apparently you can sideload the update manually and not have to start over, but always prefer to start from scratch with new versions personally.
Did the restore to factory with the 5.0 build and then re-rooted it in about 30 mins. Haven't re-installed everything, but tablet is stable.
Note that I only have success with the PDA Net drivers when using WUGS and Win7 for the Nexus 7. The toolkit supports lots of devices, so check it out if you are still waiting on your update.

Kissed a mod for a tag; liked it
Is there an app or something I can use to turn vibrate on and off easily? That's the most frustrating thing about this upgrade. I always turn vibrate off at night or when at work and now I can't

Either switch to priority mode so no notifications come through anyway, unless you set up a notification as priority (volume button will bring up the option), or download Do Not Disturb.

I played with the priority stuff when I first got it but I still want the notifications, just not the vibrating. I'll give the app a go, cheers!

This problem with the launcher redrawing every time you spend some time in an app and go back to it is getting god damn ridiculous. It's seriously making me consider going back to KitKat.

Weird, I feel like that's happening a lot less often in L than it did in KK.
EDIT: Nexus 5 here.
This happens a lot with the Nexus 9. Very irritating.
Again guys, any easy way to remove mail voice icon from the notification tab?
On Kit Kat I just had to hold it pressed and it showed the apps information and I could deleted the cache. Now it doesn't work and I have to go all the to the apps screen, search for the Phone App and do it from there.

Yeah I'm on Nexus 5 too and never had this problem on KitKat. It only appears if the phone has been on for a day or so, then it's constant until you turn the phone off and on again.

Maybe you have some app using up more resources than it should over time.

Not according to Apps -> Running. And I really haven't changed my installed apps from KitKat, if anything I'm using less apps than I was using before. Seems like it's a known issue too.

Got the lollipop update last night for my nexus 4.
Seems sweet so far with the battery info changes and so. Like that the brightness setting is more front and center. never fiddled with that one before.

N7 2013 here in the US. Still waiting. Of course given the various reports of this bug and that bug, I suppose waiting isn't the worst thing.
It's not like I'm starving myself waiting.
Loving that I'm getting daily builds of this unofficial CM12 build for the S4 with Lollipop. Only real bugs left in it is the Bluetooth audio streaming and they haven't got NFC working. Other than that, now the WiFi battery drain is gone, it's glorious.
Smart lock based on both my face or location is fantastic.

Thanks for the reply. I'll give this a shot when I have the time to screw around with it.

how do I setup the smart lock screen so that when I'm at home I don't need to use the pin.
It's solved in the AOSP build I'm using so Google must have fixed it at some point.
Go to Settings->Security->Smart Lock and set whichever locations you want.
You need the latest version of google services. Then settings > security > smart lock > trusted location.
I got it earlier today, works great.

That's... weird. I had the same issue a few days ago but when I read BladeoftheImmortal's post, I checked again and it was there.
Trusted locations comes with a google play services update thats currently rolling out. You should get it within the next week or so.

You don't have the latest Play Services update, just like me. It's taking fucking AGES to roll out, for whatever reason.
Looks like mine is actually still there, started hitting after a reboot. Think CM12 is sti;; using the original 5.0 base, so it's not fixed.
I only got it last night.

Still waiting for this too
Enable Developer Options. Press and Hold app icon in recent apps.

I feel like I updated that yesterday, google play services, yes? But I still don't have trusted locations.
Nevermind. I had to go into trusted agents, and turn on smart lock.
Edit: do I have to have gps on to use trusted location? That's kinda lame. Should just be able to tell your phone when I'm connected to such and such Wi-Fi network. Use smart lock.
i found it installed this morning!! yay!

You don't have to use GPS, it works when Location mode is set to Battery Saving.

Hate to leave you alone as my fellow survivor, but it seems I'm out of the group for good now. Update came to my Nexus 4 last night at 22:00 (UK) or so and I'm liking all the design choices so far.
I'm thinking about using the encryption option in the security menu, but I hear this takes a toll on performance.
Has anybody tried this and what security measures can I take? Such as remote access, tracking software to find the phone and so on.
Thanks
God bless you sir.
I updated on my nexus 4 as well and feel like that was the biggest feature. Other than that, some nice wallpapers, new design to settings/quick settings and chance in how multitask is displaayed.

No worries. Glad you got it. I'll just hang out over here, by myself, watching all the cool kids.

can I somewhere turn on that I see the notification bar again when I have not yet unlocked my phone? really annoys me
I would love to have the unlock gone completely if that's possible, I already have a pattern as screen lock, why would I need both?
I can't say I really like anything about the new update :/
everything looks nice, but usability is worse. best example: the "last apps used" button. yeah it scrolls nicely now but I see fewer and less of them

If you have the update, but not the feature, restart your phone.

The answer to both these questions is that you now get notifications on the lock screen.
Moff

I dont see any notifications on my lockscreen, I seem them only after I unlocked the phone. do you need to activate that somewhere?
PuppetSlave

You sure? It just worked for me. you double click on notices to open them and in doing that the phone. They should pop up as banners in the middle of the screen.
