anyone got the OTA update yet?

IMO too many pitfalls with sideloading. lots of variables and lots of things that can go wrong if you don't follow the instructions exactly. i've read a few horror stories already. and my ADD/OCD is not conducive to following precise minutial instructions that vary from source to source and vary upon equipment and method used - OTA Zip, Factory Image, Toolkit, Unlock, Root, Windows 7, 8, 8.1, Mac, etc. too much risk. poor risk/reward ratio. i don't need to brick my only phone - which is my primary mode of communication - especially on a Sunday night when everything is closed. it sucks but i've waited this long i might as wait a little longer for the official OTA.

Google should put a "secret" button hidden in Developer Options that basically says "Force OTA OS Update".

The problem being that would stay secret just long enough for Android Central / Android Police / Phandroid / Droid Forums to be tipped off to the setting and then everyone would use it defeating the purpose.

come on. the percentage of customers that read those sites is probably 1%. the unwashed masses don't read those Android enthusiast sites nor are they chomping at the bit to install new OS updates nor are they technically savvy enough to drill down into Developer Options. most have neither the time, knowledge, interest, or inclination to force an OTA. they simply don't care that much - in fact for many it's a bother - a chore to update their OS.

I respectfully disagree. Because it would also get picked up by cNet, The Verge, BGR, Engadget, etc. If it's simply enabling developer options and hitting a button, it'll spread like wildfire.

i know people that don't even update when they get the official OTA notification! why? because to them it's a PIA and nothing that's urgent. you care, i care, but the unwashed masses do not.

The majority of people I know don't even like getting updates. To them its a pain to deal with and it changes things enough that they have to learn something new. They just want it to work.

exactly. hence my point - let the enthusiasts who care and are tech savvy and able to handle "problems" drill down into Developer Options and hit the "Force the OTA OS Update Now" button. if i was Google sending out initial OS Updates - i'd want it to get to tech savvy people first rather than some randomized grandma or housewife or tween who A. might not even install it for a while if ever, B. is not prepared to deal with/solve any issues. the best people to deal with issues are the people who are tech savvy and care enough to get to Developer Options.

Can't believe there's still so many of you that didn't grab the factory image as soon as it became available.

Why? What's the panic? How is waiting a week or two going to affect anyone's life? It's an OS update, not a cure for death.

I have better and more important things to do than to waste time learning how to manually do what is going to be done automatically for me anyway.

Yeah, 99% of people I know with Android phones wouldn't have a clue what I was talking about if I mention Lollipop or KitKat.
