Has anyone had Gmail troubles since updating to Lollipop? I have a Nexus 5 on the latest version and 9/10 times I open Gmail from the widget on my home screen, it freezes and doesn't load. I have to either keep closing it and trying again until eventually it does work, or turn the phone off then on again. Really annoying, it worked fine on Kit Kat.
Some people have already gotten it. Mostly European countries and Korea, though I assume within this quarter it'll definitely hit your device.

Staged rollout where bugs are found so the rollout stops and starts.

So uh, "No interruptions" = silent mode right? About to head to class and I have it set to this. So it better be...
Yes. You get no interruptions from every app, including your alarm.

Well, just got my OTA to L on my 2012 Nexus 7. Seems pretty cool so far. Big UI changes. Performance seems fairly similar so far. I ran "Crossy Road" on the exact same time on my N7 and my G1 Moto G and my Moto G opened it up just a smidge faster.
I know the comparison is totally nonsensical and is like comparing apples to otters, but there you go.

I'm very interested to see how it runs on the G1. Overall I'm pleased with my N7 2012 performance so far. My G on Kitkat has been a bit sluggish due to the lack of RAM, though. I hear Lollipop helps systems with less RAM to feel smoother. I can't really tell on my N7, that's always seemed pretty smooth to me.
I really wish I'd done some benchmarks or something beforehand. It REALLY seems like Shadowrun Returns is loading much faster now.

My Nexus 7 (2012) updated tonight. I love Lollipop so far, but my Nexus is running a bit sluggish.

Factory reset. People say it's not needed, but believe me, it is.

So last night, I got a Nexus 6 which comes with Android 5.0 (and immediately got updated to 5.1).
I have to say, I'm loving the way it looks and runs so far - the OS, not the phone (which is also wonderful). It's got such a clean and flat(?) look - especially the pull-down notification tab. Really nice work.

Looks like Google Play Services has been updated to match the look and feel of lollipop (w/o material design) for devices that still haven't received the lollipop update (my Nexus 5).
App drawer along with its icon now have a white background. Search bar is now white instead of clear. Google Now has a flatter design.

I realized that too. The Google Play Music Player's had that same makeover, as has YouTube's app.
Would be nice if Google could finish rolling out the update to their own fucking devices. I just want my quick toggles!

I wouldn't mind a factory reset on my 2012 N7, but I don't want to lose my shadowrun save file. Is it in the cloud? Anyone know?

No idea, but check places like Android/data on the internal storage. Often you can just grab saves from there and put them back in the same place once you've reinstalled the game.
Seems a finnish Samsung page said it would eventually receive the update, along with the Note 2.

Yeah, eventually I just manually transferred it. Worked like a charm, though! N7 runs very nice now, seemingly.

Samsung has said little about the S4 update. It's frustrating; I'd expect more from Android's best selling manufacturer.
My experience with Lollipop on my N7 had been amazing so far. It's gorgeous. Manufacturers who skin Android are doing themselves a disservice.
It's updated over in Euro land, US should see it sometime between now and spring. I didn't wait and flashed mine, I recommend anyone else do the same

Nexus 7 2012 Just updated to 5.02 and it's currently performing like shit.
: \
I had no interest in upgrading until recently, battery life (and charge time especially) were the only minor issues i had with it, everything else was smooth enough for my needs. Now though...I hope it's because it's still downloading and optimizing stuff in the background

The 2012 Nexus 7 had i/o issues already, so the forced encryption probably made that worse. Look into decrypting your device for better performance.

Same. This is getting crazy.
The 2012 isn't encrypted by default on Lollipop (indeed, only the Nexus 6 and 9 are).

The 5.0.2 update worked great with my N7 2012. Felt much better than 5.0.
I also factory reset a few weeks ago after 5.0.2, and it feels much better than KitKat.
Ah, well then. Try a factory reset. Going in clean when upgrading to a newer OS is usually a good thing to do anyways.

Excahnge Services is causing massive battery drain for me. Any ideas?

The Note 3/4 5.0.2 update is imminent! Seems like there are service manuals and phones popping up in benches with 5.0.2 already.

I got an update yesterday for my Note 3 but it was Android 4.4.4. What the hell?
That's what I have too, clicked on the thread wondering if the update was out or not. Sounds like no then.
I don't really want to use it for any particular purpose, but I'm still curious to try the updated version.
My wife's nexus 5 was running 5.0 happily, then she smashed the screen and it got sent away for repair, they wiped it for some reason and now I've set it back up it's saying it's up to date running 4.4.4
Looks like they replaced her phone.
