My Nexus 5 works just fine, no problems, all my apps works fine, improved battery life (4.5 hrs screen time). No factory reset or wipe partition cache yet....
I have a nexus 7 Wi-Fi 2013 and I have not gotten the update. I really am on the fence about getting it. I also have a droid turbo and am somewhat thankful that VZW and Moto will be awhile before I get it on the Turbo as they can fix the bugs and improve the things they messed up. I can live with a messed up N7 but would be seriously tick if my phone is messed up.
You can do a two-finger swipe to bring down the quick toggles, and then toggle the Airplane mode there. You can do this whether or not the screen is locked. In fact, a single-finger swipe will do that when the screen is locked.- The ability to switch to airplane mode from the lockscreen by using the power button menu is gone - you can only power off when you hit the power button
Not if you consider a two-finger swipe a single action.- Access to settings now requires multiple swipes from home screen
Now, this is the beauty of Android as opposed to the closed wall world of Apple. You can use third-party tools to customize your phone - launchers, power tools, custom widgets, etc. You could try a custom ROM as well. I am using a custom ROM named Cataclysm, which already allows you to bring down the quick toggles with a single-finger swipe, clear all recent apps with one tap, reboot the phone from the power menu, etc.Overall - if I could I would go back - but not for the bugs or app issues (they are less important for me) - but core functionality in things I use day-to-day has been badly affected - if I wanted to be this micro managed into a walled community I'll but an iPhone
Thousands of bricked N7 devices lie resting because of the 5.0 OTA. Beware.
Probably because Asus and its quality control (hardware) sucks. Since the launch of the N7, only a handful of them works properly. Meanwhile the others like mine, needs to be sent back to Asus for repairs. I opted not to BC I didn't want to pay for shipping and having to wait for it to be returned back.
I'm pretty sure the problems for the N7 is BC the hardware can't handle it.

To be fair, the N7 2012 is the device that's having the most problems with the update. I flashed mine back to KitKat. You might change your mind when it hits your N7.You know I keep seeing people having massive issues with 5.0 all over the place which had me scared with 3 Nexus devices getting the update. But, so far two of my Nexus 4s have been updated via OTA, with no reset, nothing lost, or changed and on both devices lollipop is running so smooth, better than KitKat IMO. I love the update so far! Now my Nexus 7-12 has yet to get the update, we'll see there, but I don't get all the negativity for this update. It has been almost flawless in my experience.

- No ability to just have notifications on status bar. The choice is no notificaitons on lock screen, notification on lock screen with no information (which puts a big block of empty space on your lock screen) or full notifications on lockscreen (which puts up the same block on teh lockscreen but now anybody can read your text / email etc). I prefer the lockscreen remain discreet with no information and just the icon to show that there is a message. That option isn't available
WARNING! DO NOT DOWNLOAD LOLLIPOP UPDATE! I just got the update yesterday.This new update is junk and now multiple applications don't work properly. It has also added multiple useless steps just opening the phone, trying to dial a contact, looking at email. Skype doesn't work, the calender doesn't work properly. I called up customer support and I have been advised that now I can't get rid of the operating system and go back to KitKat so I have to spend hours just getting my normal apps to work properly. They couldn't even help with my non-functioning apps because they don't know enough about it. They referred me to the website for all my questions. Complete junk! Very pissed!
Hi -- I'm new to Android, having recently emigrated from the Windows Phone universe. So I am not up to see on the technical stuff as yet. I have two questions that some of you old salts might be able to help me out with.
1. Should I get Lollipop on my Moto G (2013) or stick with KitKat? Sounds like people have had very different experiences with this upgrade - any Moto G owners here who got Lollipop?
2. If I use the encryption feature on KitKat how much will it slow the phone down? If anyone has used encryption on Lollipop I'd be interested in your experiences also.
Thanks very much
