Overheating on 5.1

I just installed 5.1 and now my tablet is running very hot even on simple tasks like browsing web and doing social media. Has anyone else experienced this?

My nexus 7 2013 ran very hot on lollipop 5.02 but haven't got 5.1 yet.

Have you taken any steps to troubleshoot? (clear system cache, etc)

So far...after my N7 2013 updated...it is a bit faster BUT...the battery life is halved...it spends most of its day AWAKE with the screen off! It may be the Amazon store app.

SECOND PROBLEM: I use wifi N here in the house on devices which can tolerate it. So far the stupid tablet's connection is intermittent. I've restarted the router a couple of times but the tablet all of a sudden decides there's no 5MHZ signal when the router says the transmitter is on! Very frustrating. Mind you, it still could be my router but it's a newer one with updated firmware.

It was rock solid on 5.0.2 fwiw.

Let me guess... You did not factory reset

Did a factory reset and it seems to have solved the issue.

Got the OTA for 5.1 yesterday on my N7(razor). OTA install failed upon reboot twice so I flashed the 5.1 image from the GOOG. We'll see if there are any improvements.

Also...silly question here...since I flashed the factory image with the stock flash-all script, it wiped data as well. Is this data wipe along with firmware install the equivalent of a factory reset?

Woo hooo just got the 5.1 notification thanks google we waited long enough

 

[roheasy]

Afraid to update now

Successfully upgraded from 5.0.2 about half an hour ago, no issues so far.

Hopefully it will be waiting when I get home.

So far, battery life is improved. No problems.

 

[konawarren]

No problems after going to recovery and clearing system cache. Maybe a little quicker and after 3 hours of sitting my battery was still at 100%☺

No, mwrobe1. The Factory Reset option in Settings is a 'warmer' install - it wipes all data and cache, but leaves the deeper stuff untouched. Flashing a factory image is a 'cold' install. It also replaces all system files, including system binaries and Recovery, so, for example, if you're rooted before flashing the full image, you won't be rooted afterward. Factory Reset will not remove root, although you will have to re-install SuperSU and Busybox.

HTH

Is anyone doing anything different to force an ?

 

[markst]

Meant update.

The only thing I did differently was to enable wifi when in sleep mode. I had wifi turned off when in sleep mode and every time I manually checked for an update it showed none available. After enabling wifi in sleep mode I had a notification of an update within 30 minutes.

I'll give it a try.. thx
