Can anyone tell me what very obvious thing I'm missing in chrome to shut down tabs? There used to be a helpful x on the left which has now disappeared.

All your tabs in chrome are located under the square button. Just swipe away.

It's one aspect I don't like about lollipop if I'm honest.

Had this issue myself, they have incorporated chrome tabs into the apps and everything else tabs, which is a pretty good function on this release. To get back to normal go into settings in chrome and turn "merge tabs and apps" off.

Good man jimmy. Thanks for that

you can just change it back to the old way if you want. Just in chrome hit the 3 dots/settings/merge tabs and apps and press no and your done

Saw your nan Jimmy's posy just after I posted it. Changed and all now. Boom.

Updated this morning, haven't had any bugs or problems though it does seem to have slowed my phone down a bit. A lot of visual changes and small tweaks but I haven't come across many obvious improvements in functionality or user experience. I'll play around with it a bit but I'm a bit underwhelmed so far

Mine has slowed down a lot since updating :-( Not impressed so far!!

Mine was very sluggish for the first few hours but after that I haven't noticed any difference from KitKat

How do I go back to the previous version of Android before lollipop? Having so many problems with the new one.

kingtiger · 25-11-2014 10:09pm

bastard lolipop, exchange mail no longer syncs and also causes the mail app to stop responding

Using this tool to downgrade and can also use it to root etc.

I am happy with Lollipop.

Me too(with the KitKat launcher). Can only get better with the further updates to come. Definite improvement in battery performance too.

Skylinehead · 26-11-2014 2:21pm

Smart Lock alone (Trusted Places on the not-officially-out Play Services update) makes it worth it.

marcbrophy · 26-11-2014 3:53pm

My Google Play Services updated last night and now I have trusted places, so it is definitely rolling out as-we-speak

pineapple*soul · 26-11-2014 4:11pm

Sorry for derailing the conversation here, but does anyone know where in Ireland I can get a Nexus 5, the play store is out of stock.

Also, does it make any difference if you don't get it in the play store (with warranties, etc.)?

JaMarcusHustle · 26-11-2014 5:19pm

Is there any known WiFi issues with Android L? I'm having trouble since the update. Won't connect half the time.

It's going to be increasingly harder to buy one as Google are stopping production. I was lucky to buy Nexus 5 on the Play Store about 2 weeks ago.

You could check to see if there are any new/unused/unopened ones on Adverts.

Amazon.co.uk still have some, not exactly in Ireland but still a reliable bunch to buy from should anything go wrong.

I'm having terrible battery drain every now and again for seemingly no reason since updating, this morning I'm already down to 64% after 4 hours with the screen only on for 10 minutes. Nothing on the battery usage list that seems out of place so I'm not sure what's causing it

Reboot your phone & see if it cures the problem. There was a bug that leaves the camera on in the background

zl1whqvjs75cdy · 28-11-2014 9:52am

Yeah my battery is getting murdered as well. Used to get the whole day out of it no problem, now its at 5% by 7 in the evening. Not impressed.

Shimmy Jimmy CocoPop · 28-11-2014 2:06pm

So there is no Silent option on Android 5 you can only lower to vibrate. I found out to my detriment in an important meeting when my pocket started vibrating and distracting me. Bit of a joke really, why leave this option out. Never understood why they left out auto rotation in KitKat either. Im also getting random "!" on the wifi and phone signal even at full bar and working perfect. Theres deffo a few bugs to be sorted for 5.1

Twice since update I have had something randomly eating the battery - once it was hola app and other time nothing was showing. Apart from that (solved by restart) it seems better than KitKat to me but haven't measured it properly yet tbh.

There is a silent option. When you press on the volume rocker button to bring up the volume. Click the NONE option and select indefinitely. This is silent mode.

Yeah but it's stupid because alarms won't play then, so it's pretty useless for night time!

Skylinehead · 28-11-2014 6:55pm

Doesn't NONE turn off notifications entirely?

You can then set to middle option priority mode. Then set in Settings> Sound & Notification>Interruptions. Disable Events & Reminders, Calls & Messages. Alarms will still work with this setting but nothing else will.

Sure, it's a long way around it.

Cheers for that but it was so much easier just turning the volume all the way down! Little tweaks like this are annoying but I like the new release overall.

I also had the issue on KitKat, there's a lot of android forums about the issue but I thought it would be fixed. Its connected with Skype, Snapchat or other apps using the camera. The camera stays on in the background and drains the battery. The only way I got it to stop was to delete Skype, not ideal but does work.

Anyone finding their phone much slower on lollipop compared to kitkat? That's was one of the major reasons I went for the nexus 5.

I found it slow at first but after the first night and a reboot it was fine.

Mine is definitely still much slower. I'll have to look into how to clear the cache or something

pah · 29-11-2014 5:33pm

upgrading to a major software revision is often very buggy. Clean install of a factory image is the best way to go really. Did it for nexus 5 and nexus 7 2012. Working perfectly

I totally agree with you on that one! I loved being able to hold the power button down and then just hit the silence toggle! Quick and easy!!

Cheers,

While it's not exactly the same, just press one of the volume buttons and hit the icon. Only puts it to Vibrate though, not silent.

No I can't see any difference in mine & some apps like gmail are definitely quicker.

I had it once but a reboot cured it. This is the best answer. It shows how many milliamps the phone is drawing & you can set an alarm if the drain is above a preset level.

Update it - in my opinion lollipop is far superior to kit kat.

That's why I suggest checking out videos. It's down to peoples personal preferences and opinions. I'm still indifferent myself.

Thats actually quite a difference, cant understand how and why they would let lolipop be slower. Surely further updates will speed it up though.
