Anyone actually receive the Lollipop 5.0 update yet?

[sniffs]

Apparently Mo Versi from HTC said that it'd start pushing out days ago.. yet I haven't heard of anyone getting it yet. Has anyone?

 

[sniffs]

Odd.. I went to check for update and it downloaded the 200MB "memory optimization" update. After it rebooted and what not, i went to check for update again and nothing.. so i set the date fwd to the 6th and checked again and viola, 900MB lollipop update downloading.

Sometimes you have to trick the phone to get an update. Its typically staged rollouts.

Yes, I got the update a few days ago.

I don't have the flashlight in quick settings toggles?

Any thoughts, comments about the update? Any changes for the worse or better?

Yeah, mine is significantly slower with long pauses after button presses, page slides, etc. I have rebooted phone a couple times to see if it would make a difference, none. Any thoughts?

Sounds eerily familiar. This was a problem on Nexus devices with all the 5.0/5.0.1/5.0.2 updates that caused a memory leak and battery drain. 5.1 seems to have fixed it.

That would make sense. It's also running stupid hot, screen off & charging.
We will wait and see.
Thanks.

Mine's not doing that at all. It's really quick and responsive. Try clearing your Cache partition and let us know.

^^^^
Running better than it has run, since I've had the phone. Very quick and responsive and feels like a new device.

working much better now. Was a little more responsive before clearing out the cache but now its zooming right along. Only thing that still slow is the standard "messages" app. Tried clearing out old threads but it is still very slow.
Thanks for the help!

The standard messaging app is terrible. Try Textra, I've been using it for 2 yrs, and its amazing, very fast and lightweight with just enough options. With each update it keeps getting better.

Got it on my One, but now the phone keeps rebooting every few minutes and killing the battery. I have the AT&T M7 running 5.0.2

Did you do a factory reset after updating? You should always do one after a major OS update.

 

[chrisfl1963]

no, I'm backing up my photos and numbers today and apps and going to do it later.

 

[chrisfl1963]

Was on Chat with HTC about my phone and they got me to go in to a boot level menu and clear out things and so far things are working like befoe the new update.
Now 2 days later it's back to rebooting all over again. So it looks like a factory reset is my only option now.

What is the secret to getting the update. I still don't have it.
