    Nexus 9 Android 5.1.1 OTA update starting today!

    Much snappier, less lag at times. Overall I didn't have much in the way of issues to begin with that others complained about. However, thus far, in the few hours I have played with it, it does seem more responsive. AnTuTu benchmark comes back at 59907. So, thats a good thing.

    Sorry for late reply. OTA installed just like normal and seems to be working fine.

    Nexus 9 Android 5.1.1 OTA update starting today!

    I just got a notification to get the OTA. States 'waiting to download' and no sort of button or anything else I can do. Wonder how long I have to wait for and candidly, why I am waiting? **EDIT - About 5 minutes after posting this is changed to Downloading** Fingers crossed I have no issues.

    Lollipop, encryption and PINs, Oh My!

    Just an update in case it helps anyone understand this better - still could use some help! ;-) Had to do a factory reset on my Nexus 9 tablet thanks to a botched OTA update. It is forced encryption and does NOT force you to set any sort of unlock method. While I agree that is lousy security...

    Received 5.0.2 today

    So, last night I went to check with mine - 'check for update' clicked. Was checking, then the screen just flashed and it shut off. When I turned it back on (no update was installed) it sat there on the spinning color thing for a good hour. Same thing a few times over. Finally it went to the...

    Obsessively pressing the button to check for updates - still nothing. ;/

    Chrome window view.

    They changed it. Click on the windows button to the left of the main button OR go into settings and change merge tabs and apps to off.

    Note 4 wont remember default applications

    Beh has very good points and to take it one step further, yes, uninstall those programs and see if it helps. Worst case scenario, it doesn't and you want them back - go right back to app store and get them again. Best case, it resolves the issues. However, I bet the answer lies with what beh...

    should I upgrade to Lollipop from 4.4.4?

    Gotcha - thats a good concern. The problem is I have read evidence of people stating their phone is better now. I have also read people complaining about it being shorter. The one thing I have seen and it may be anecdotal is that the people who do a factory reset after install of LP seem to...

    What app do you use for messages?

    Just started getting ads in Textra just a few moments ago actually.

    should I upgrade to Lollipop from 4.4.4?

    I think most people have had pretty good luck. There will always be bugs. What are your specific concerns? I have it on my N4 with Tmo and have yet to run into a bug (but I am sure its only a matter of time).

    Lollipop, encryption and PINs, Oh My!

    Okay - I searched and have yet to find an answer - if this is a repeat I have missed, I apologize. Here goes. On my T-Mo N4, I would like to encrypt the device but do not want to be tethered to a password. The PIN mode for screen unlock is what I desire. Without rooting and running a custom...

    Tmobile lollipop update is live!!!!!!

    You have only a couple of options on that - you can't just 'get rid' of it unfortunately unless you are rooted (and then you can use Titanium backup to remove it). What I did was: a) go to Settings -> Application Manager -> All -> Flipboard and then diasable it. b) Install Nova Prime and...

    Tmobile lollipop update is live!!!!!!

    Installed it today as well. Pulled my card, flashed back to a factory image from another ROM I was running and immediately downloaded the OTA. Once it was installed, I did a factory reset and its been running since with no issues. Of note however, it was slow for about an hour and was eating...
