No issues. Feels like a brand new phone.

I've had no issues with Lollipop on mine either.

It won't let me. It just says computing. I went into other apps and, even though the clear cache button was dark to be able to click on it, it wouldn't work.

Try clearing the data--not the cache.

XT1060 went from 4.4.4 to 5.1 and it was horrible for me until I did a factory reset. The update or rather the two updates went through ok. After it completed though my 60% battery charge lasted only two hours. Being plugged into the wall charger wouldn't charge more than 5% an hour. USB charge did nothing at all while on and actually drained the battery while off. Every boot wanted to optimize apps even when not plugged in. It would hang on the vzw logo when booting for about 10 min. None of the apps would update although it was trying (I'm thinking this was causing the battery drain). Several computers failed to load drivers when plugged into USB. Left it off and plugged into wall charger all night. Woke up to 100% charge but it only lasted 3 hours with no use at all other than checking email and txt msg notifications. Tried a clear/format of the cache but that did nothing to help. Finally got time and pulled data with my voyager go USB drive, performed the factory reset. Let it charge up and ran all night while not plugged in. Showing 90% left after 6 hours of running and an estimated 2+ days left. I do get a lot of work emails all night as I work in IT. So far it's better but will need to test further to be sure. At least it doesn't lose power while off anymore, and no more optimizing apps every boot.

Any Wifi or blutooth connect issues? Like wifi disconnecting when the screen is off?

My WiFi and BT connect just fine. I had few issues though the battery drains a little faster. I had trouble updating some apps initially, a reboot resolved that and also got me the new version of Play Services. Play Services fixed some of the initial major battery drain issues.

This update causes us to lose some of our storage space, it includes Google Docs, Sheets and Slides by default. As a result, I had to remove some of my infrequently-used apps (like, never use them anymore) so I could update apps that needed updates.

Overall, I like the UI changes, including the Moto Display update that allows us to choose from 3 different notifications to unlock to.

I don't like the changes to touchless control, if I have my BT headset connected, it responds through the headset. I don't always have the headset on my ear (only put it on when I'm on the phone) so this is an issue to me.

Zero for me.

Both my wife and I received notifications on our stock Verizon Moto X phones that a system update had been downloaded and was ready to install. Based on the issues I've seen reported here, I suggested to my wife that she hold off doing anything with it until I could install the update and see if there were any problems. The update that had been pushed to my phone was only Part I, which apparently just upgraded 62 apps and took about 5-6 minutes to complete, after which there was a message that Part 2 would be sent later. Has the process worked like that for others? If so, did the version of Part 2 (which I understand is the Lollipop upgrade) that was later pushed install and work smoothly, or did you encounter problems with the new system? Thanks for any information or advice you can provide.

It's a two-parter. The second part is a much longer process.

It has been great for me. Hold off on judging battery life for a few days after updating. I dare say mine is a little better than it was before. YMMV of course.

If your phone has 16 GB internal Memory than go ahead. UI is crispy but not so fantastic. Some apps not work.

Lollipop is not suite with less RAM.

What is clearing data to do in Google play? I tried it on a couple of game apps to see what it did them and it got rid of all my progress. It makes nervous that chasing the data for Play might mess something up. Not like it could get worse though.

I went ahead and downloaded and installed the Lollipop update, and so far everything appears to be restored and working fine. If I encounter any issues, I'll report back. In the meantime, thanks for the feedback.

It's just going to clear out your local copy of things like the list of apps you own/have downloaded. You'll just log in again and go from there. It will not delete apps or ruin anything and your phone will automatically download a fresh copy just like it would if it was a brand new device doing it for the first time.

With a major OS update, you really should factory reset and start over.

Exactly, that action clears ALL data for that app. I don't know what games you're referring to but my guess is that they were games that DIDN'T require data access; games that need to access servers for updates (ie games that remotely store your progress) will not be affected beyond you're needing to sign back in and your phone needing to receive the data containing your saved progress. Stand alone games would lose all data in the way that you described.

After you clear the data in Google Play, you will have to sign back in but everything else "stays intact" because Google has all of your purchases saved on their side. I couldn't upload a game update once and someone suggested clearing the data in Google Play suggesting that it wasn't the game itself that was hanging up--they were correct, it was Play.

I ended up having to do a factory reset. Unfortunately I lost all my contacts. I can't seem to be able to get backup assistant to work.

Any reason why you weren't syncing your contacts to Google?

Over a week in and I am still loving this update. Uninstalled Clean Master as it became superfluous.
