Updated last night, everything's running smoothly

I hate you all.

I still just don't like the look of Google launcher. Back to Nova!

Finally got the OTA this evening. Overall I am loving it but my one big issue is also this...

Previously I would have decreased volume to vibrate, one extra tap rendered the phone silent. Today the lowest setting I found was vibrate and a Google search reported this problem with lollipop, and suggested a rather convoluted process to address it

I want silent to be silent, with no vibrate. The workaround I found is very awkward and overly complicated.

I just had a thought. Is there a chance that the network operators are thecreasin behind some delays?

I'm on emobile and so far nothing.

What about those if you out there that are on other networks or those who have been updated?

Funny, I'm finding lollipop runs better/smoother on nova even after it's made to act/feel just like googles own stock launcher

Running multirom and prefer kitkat for the xposed goodness, however the update keep appearing on my screen anyway to tun it off ?

I got the Nexus 10 update yesterday. It went smooth. I didn't bother although I had completed doing a factory reset before upgrading. I have 4 profiles set up on it.

It lost my lovely arrangement of icons on my home screens. Still too early to tell whether it is running good bad or indifferent. I hadn't really had much time to use it.

Waiting on my Moto G to be updated..

Any idea how to get rid of the screen unlock security on the newer N7 running Lollipop I was taking a look at the different options & changed it from none to PIN & then to pattern but now it won't let me set it back to 'none'.

Thanks!

Any chance you setup a VPN while you where on PIN/Pattern? If you did just delete the VPN from your device and you should then be able to choose none again.

The only other thing, that I think can effect it, is if you activate encryption for your device?

Upgraded my Nexus 7 2012 to 5.0 and am disappointed. Seems that bit more laggy than Kit kat, even stuff like just pulling down the notifications menu is poor. Any one know of a way to revert back?

I applied the factory build of 5.0 for Nexus 4 on Monday. Clean install.
Was on CM11 before that and my battery was always draining itself each night even with wifi turned off.
Now a full charge is lasting 48 hours. More than a 100% improvement.

Delighted! It's like having a new phone even though its nearly 2 years old.

Did you upgrade by OTA?

Give the device a day or two to adjust to Lollipop and it might improve.

You could try wiping the cache partitions and see if that improves it.

Next option would be to factory reset your device (lose data) and see if it works any better.

If you want 4.4.4 again, you will need to Flash the factory image for it. Again you will more than likely have to wipe your data.

Yes, looks handy! I don't want to mess about loading apks for something as important as Google Play Services, so I'll just have to wait for the update to arrive I guess.

I am on Meteor and still waiting...but I don't think they will be affected by the networks as do we not get them from Google?

Delighted to hear this. This upgrade could save me hundreds of euro if it fixes my N4 battery life!

2 days use out of it?? That is unreal. Today is my first day using it when I have charged it fully at night. Probably using it a bit more than I usually do but only down to 73% from about 9 this morning.

Nothing to do with carrier. I've 3 nexus devices awaiting the update. Only have it on n9 so far.
Google release it gradually and in stages/blocks. This way if there is a bug not everyone is buggered at once and they can fix before bricking all.

Thanks for the suggestions but none of the above unfortunately I can live with the pattern unlock but seems strange I can't just switch back to none.

On a nexus 4 and I am having problems playing videos after the update. Anyone got any ideas?

Sounds like you've a secondary setting setup for something like encryption or safe tethering to WiFi zone or blue tooth device.

Not having any problems. Is it all videos? Post a link to a sample video you're having issues with.

I forget exactly how your screen looks as soon as/after a call ends. I had a call there, the other person hung up. Doesn't the screen usually activate (well, light up) when you take the handset down from your ear?

I've been running Lollipop for a few days now and seems very buggy. A bunch of apps randomly crash. Chrome seems to be worst affected.

Messaging app no longer seems to work.

I though I read something about default encryption with version 5 of the OS, which might force a password of sorts. Check in your device if it is encrypted or not, it might give you a clue as to what is going on.

Having used it all day and most of last night, I'm not a fan of 5.0.

The animations while nice, are a bit too much in places. And I don't like the way I've to view all open apps to switch between chrome tabs.

Click 3 dots in top right corner when Chrome is open,
Settings > Merge Tabs and apps > toggle the switch for on/off
