Lollipop 5.0.2

[Mst99]

After the 5.0 update made my 2012 nexus 7 virtually unusable, the 5.0.2 was pushed to it over the air. I'm happy to say that this update fixed all the lag. It's night and day difference. To those who are frustrated with the 5.0 update, hang in there. The 5.0.2 will get your tab back to normal.

I agree. 5.0.2 was a nice fix for many of the issues w/ Lollipop 5.0

 

[Cauhauna]

Agreed

Mine just went OTA and seems much better to me.

Personally, after the OTA 5.0.2, I was still having lag and crashes. I had gone to Dolphin browser since chrome was so horrible. Even Dolphin started crashing. Since it wasn't majorly better, I decided to do the factory reset option. I then chose set up as new so I could choose what apps loaded. So far, it is better. I'm using chrome and it wasn't anything like I experienced with 5.0. Verdict is still out since I have so few apps but it is seemingly better.

If you factory reset it might induce the update. It did on mine. I know it's a pita though...

I got my update last night, updated from 4.4.x

No problems so far

Phone next, hurry up HTC lol

Received my OTA last night as well - 4.4.4 to 5.0.2

So far it seems to run really well, feels more fluid than KitKat actually. I'm just hoping it stays that way. I haven't done a factory reset and if it keeps running well I don't think I will.

1 of 2 updated last night too.

I got the OTA last night too.

Got mine last night, still very laggy, did a cache wipe but still pretty slow. I guess ill do a factory reset tonight.

My Nexus 7 got upated to 5.0.2 today (I never had 5.0) now FB and Words with Friends just don't work anymore. Any suggestion gratefully received.

Is it even possible to "Go Back" to an Android version that actually works? Downloaded 5.0.2 this a.m. & now my tablet is totally screwed! HATE the "New" home screen, [but can live with it], HATE the "New" totally worthless keyboard, [but can live with it]. What I canNOT live with is the tablet shutting down all by itself whenever it feels like it! Have done "Factory reset" twice to no avail, in two+ years, never had ANY problems until now. Thanx in advance..."O.G.'

If your tablet is unlocked then sure you can flash the Google Factory Images and go back in time as much as Google provides in images.

But 5.0.2 shouldn't be giving you too much trouble, I updated to it immediately when the factory images became available and my tablet went from wonky on Android 5.0 to usable again w/ 5.0.2 . Give it a day or two to settle in, like most updates it takes the device some cycling to smooth things out.

You could try booting into your stock recovery and clearing cache which should help clear some cobwebs out. Also a couple reboots wouldn't hurt either to give the device a chance to run through the entire shutdown/startup process a few times.

Good luck! Let us know how things go.

No one can say there haven't been any warnings updating to 5.02.

I was one that couldn't wait and flashed 5.02. It was ok for awhile, even after a factory reset.I still started getting really laggy and I had issues opening apps.

I reverted back to 4.4.4 and will stay there until the bugs are worked out.

Rumors are showing up in the news that 5.1 is coming in February. Not much detail about it but supposed to improve battery mgmt even more than 5.0.2

Thanx Paul, but terms like "You could try booting into your stock recovery and clearing cache" might as well be in Greek. I just turn on my tablet & use it. Could not possibly care less about having the "Latest & Greatest" update of the week. [Especially when it causes me so much grief!] Found a local PC guy who thinks he remove this P.O.S. & return me to 4.4.4 [which worked perfectly for my needs] for $40. Have already lost one app that's apparently no longer available thru trying to "reset". Can't see where the reset accomplished anything good at all. Thanx again..."O.G."

I completely agree with you. You shouldn't be forced into having to deal with a buggy update or have to learn how to do certain things just to enjoy your product. Only reason I mentioned about booting into recovery and clearing cache is its an alternative that sometimes works compared to a factory reset.

I hope you can get your device back to KitKat 4.4.4 and enjoy it
