The Nexus 7 (2013) Android 5.1 Lollipop Thread

[bmoliver]

That's because the LTE versions have to go through the providers like AT&T, Verizon, etc. The wifi versions don't.

I have not seen any OTA updates for any version of lollipop for my 2013 Nexus 7 LTE. (I am still on 4.4.4.)
Has anybody received any OTA updates?
Any reasons why this would be the case?
I am running completely stock on Verizon.
Thanks very much!

If I'm not mistaken, there should have been an upgrade (5.0.2) for the LTE models by now. Check Settings>About Tablet.

No updates for the LTE version yet.

Mines not a carrier model.

I'm still on 4.4 and it suits me fine as I've not heard one single good reason why I would want to "upgrade" to 5 and risk running into a bunch of bugs.

Good Grief! We now have to endure fragmentation on Nexus models!

My guess is that Google skipped 5.1 for the nexus 7 and nexus 9,and is going straight to 5.1.1 with the fix for the memorie leak,that is the only reason that after 3 weeks of updating others nexus devices these 2 has not been updated,but this is only speculation only Google know

This is a good point! I never really thought of it but that makes complete sense. I was gonna say 5.0.2 is runny fantastic on my N7 2013 so I can patiently wait for the new update. It sucks to see others having so many problems with lollipop :/

It's just too bad that even Google won't offer an explanation. After all, we're just their customers. And I thought the carriers were bad about OS delays. Humfp.

It's called "razor" I think

Got 5.1 on my N7 2013 16 Gb yesterday. So far, so good. I have an N7 2013 32 Gb that was purchased one week before the 16 Gb and have not got the update as of this morning.

Would be interested to know how, since Google hasn't published a 5.1 factory image or binary image for the 2013 N7. I would love it to be true. Really hoping the update fixes my constant reboot issues.

Ya I dont really believe what he says. Because there's no way, like I said earlier they're going straight to 5.1.1 instead of releasing 5.1. That's why we are waiting still...

Nexus 7 Android 5.1 Update Release Continues

Today, the company is rolling out another Nexus Android 5.1 Lollipop update for the Nexus 7 2013 though the update isn’t for the Wi-Fi version of the device. It’s for the LTE model.

Turned on my N7 2013 and notification says update ready for download (5.1). Downloaded, installed and all if fine. Sorry if you don't believe me.

I got it, now I see you didn't clarify what model you had. It's only for the 4g model and not the WiFi. My mistake, next time note it better

My 2013 N7 2013 is NOT LTE and I got the update. BTW all N7's are at least WiFi, some models are LTE 4g also.

That's right, my wifi version is installing it now as I type (from my phone). I believe you, Gary!
