Thousands of bricked N7 devices lie resting because of the 5.0 OTA. Beware.
Not here. I just flashed Lollipop onto my 2012 Nexus 7 last night. Is it slow? Yes. Is it unusable? No.

Massive overreaction that, scaremongering really. Lollipop doesn't seem to be running too well on the Nexus 7, especially the 2012 model, but I highly doubt its bricking devices, especially in their thousands.Thousands of bricked N7 devices lie resting because of the 5.0 OTA. Beware.
I agree, it's rubbish, I got it yesterday on my Nexus 10, but I will not be downloading it onto my N4 and N7.
Firstly, I don't like the look of it, and the new keyboard is awful. But worst of all, Light Flow crashes upon startup, and the Exchanges Services keeps crashing, and a pop-up message keeps appearing to tell me so, like every 10-15 seconds, interrupting whatever I'm doing at the time. Bloody annoying!
There are a few other apps that are misbehaving as well. I'm thinking of doing a factory reset to go back to KitKat, but I don't want to go through all that mucking about getting it setup back to how I have it. Seriously brassed off!
He hasn't bricked his device, its sluggish, but its not broken, it can be restored.Are you sure this isn't just scaremongering?
Bricking includes making te experience cr#p. This is with out doubt the worse upgrade I have ever seen! I manage a massive VM server farm, a hge Cisco network plus over 5k PCs and we cope with another cvompasnies poor performance but this??? I epould sack managers and lead developers. You can destroy a reputation easily. Ipad looks good.
Its working perfectly fine on my Nexus 5, my N7 2012 really struggled though, so much so I had to get rid of lollipop. I'll give it a month and have another look at it.I guess I'm lucky. I got the OTA for my nexus 5 a day or so ago and the OTA took about 20 minutes, I wiped my cache partition and lollipop is simply brilliant. I can't say enough good things about it.

The only apps that didn't work for me initially were Titanium Backup, CashFlow std. and MX Player. Their latest versions all work fine now.Got the upgrade earlier today, I have the Nexus 5 and think it runs very nicely.
What apps aren't working for you guys?
WARNING! DO NOT DOWNLOAD LOLLIPOP UPDATE!
I have Nexus 5 and I do not care for Lollipop. Battery life is awful, I do not want all my email linked through one account and I do not get notifications anymore of new messages. I also do not want all my contacts linked. I unselected that options but they are still limked. I would really like to uninstall Lollipop. Can this be done?
See factory image link above and follow the directions.How can I undo this??? How to 'get rid' of lollipop?
