For the purposes of warning others and good old-fashioned commiseration, tell everyone what bugs you've found in Lollipop.

On my Nexus 4, on the running apps page, the RAM used by the system registers as a very large negative number in bytes. :P

System registers? Never heard of that. What is it?

In the Apps section of the phone settings, in the Running tab, there's a memory usage meter. It shows how much RAM is being used by the system, how much is being used by apps, and how much is available.
 
I'm on Sprint and these are issues that I've had on past Android releases.

Using build LRX210.
  1. No MMS in Hangouts or the new Messenger app
  2. Calls sometimes don't go through.
  3. SMS are not received.
  4. There's a weird exclamation mark next to the service bars.

I've had this for a day and I'm already thinking of going back to 4.4.4

Don't think this is a Lollipop issue only. My Nexus 4 has been doing the same on KitKat. I've seen it happen after managing memory, like clearing caches, etc. Not sure why, but whatever, a reboot usually solves it.

Posted via mostly ghost taps on OG N7, in the Android Central App, therefore posts may not be my own.
 
When I reboot it fixes it for for about a minute, then just goes back to being broken. It doesn't seem to be a problem functionality-wise, but it is odd.
 
No major phone function problems, calls all complete, voicemails work and notified, SMS/MMS is all good. My issues are all mainly related to specific apps not running properly or crashing but that's not an OS issue but more developers need to optimize for L.

Some apps with issues:
Matching with friends
IGN
Allcast playback
Songpop

Its not called bugs if an app is not working on android lollipop, its the developer's job to update their app, they had like 5 months to do it

i played with lollipop on both my m8 and oneplusone. pretty nice but yet again google has failed to unify the color scheme of android. don't believe me? take a peek inside the frameworks.
 
My camera Google app crashes, lag, on my nexus 5

Posted from my new Nexus 5

I find the camera slower running then kitkat, not sure if a bug but annoying. No crashes yet for me.

SMS and MMS issues here...Friend not getting texts until the Hangouts app is opened on screen and loads them well after they had been sent. I believe this is somehow on my end.

In addition - Google Voice (something I havent used...ever...I set it up early last year to check it out and never have i looked at it again...) has hijacked me texts from time to time. I see myself sending an mms/sms to any random contact and it will randomly be sent "from my google voice number" which on their screen, comes from some unknown number with a weird area code (google voice number).

ANYONE KNOW HOW TO FIX PLEASE TELL ME!
 
I'm getting notifications for all the major apps, phone, sms, whatsapp, email. However, I am not getting any notifications for less important ones like snapchat(which i happen to use a lot), some turn based games and even pushbullet. I have turned on notifications for these from the within apps settings and the app settings in the phone settings.I have all notifications on and I haven't set up the interruptions downtime feature.
PS using a nexus 5. I side loaded 5.0 using an ota zip and i'm not rooted.

On my Note 3, I am unable to modify icons or folders without the OS crashing and error message "unfortunately TouchWiz Home has stopped. OK" ... not okay
 
At first my Google news wouldn't update automatically so I did a FR and now Everything is fine.
