Android 5.0 and Nexus announcement thread!

Sonics2k · 2014-10-14 21:59:45

Right, rather than having the Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 thread, as well as the inevitable Android 5.0 thread, let's do a megathread instead! Sundar Pichai has shared another video, designed to taunt us even more! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlEE3hXJe5o Android 5.0 is yet to have its name confirmed, though most are hinting at…

Ugh. Lollipop killed my fav game and kills my battery. Wish I never *up?*graded.

I play a decent amount of Dead Rising 2 on my 2013 Nexus 7. It used to play fine before with the very seldom slight glitch. Now, however, the frame rate seems like it is about 3/4 what it used to be and drops to much lower pretty often.

On top of that I used to get days out of it if left idle, now I seem to be charging most days even with light use.

Will this ever be fixed? The frikkin thing pretty much went obsolete over night. Head = Wrecked.

Ok, so got the 5.0.2 update today. MUUUUUUCH better. Pretty back to the 4.X performance but with the new 5.X look and features.

Happy out.

Move came in today, definitely feels much more responsive...

I have to row back on this big time. Endless hanging and crashing, unresponsiveness, my Nexus 7 became a right dog. I turned off all the animations and wiped the cache and it seems to be better, still a bit of hanging on occasion. I would have stayed on KitKat had I known.

Yeah I've had the 5.02 myself a while now but I notice that it seems to be consuming a lot more power now than it did before.

Android 5.0.2 factory images for Nexus 7 Mobile (2013 and 2012).

If people have working 2012 models on kitkat (without much lag), might want to wait and find out how other people's reaction to it.

SOrry guys - wrong thread, thought I was in the Nexus 5 thread - please delete

Hi guys,

I'm RMA'ing my Nexus 5 for a second time (GPS issues).

My bootloader is currently unlocked as I was impatient previously for the Lollipop update. I need to send it back in a few days- will google have issues with the RMA if the bootloader is unlocked? It isn't rooted.

Is there an easy guide to re-locking the bootloader if necessary?

thanks!
