    My 2 year old nexus 7 is freezing a lot since I updated to version 5.0.2 earlier this month, every couple of hrs it will freeze up for about 20 minutes until it asks me if I want too close down the app (normally chrome) is this happening anyone else ? Its very annoying , it never happened before.

    None that I'm aware of chap , took them long enough to fix 5.0 and even at that it didn't fix all the problems properly ,

    As always, your starting point is ALWAYS to run it in Safe Mode for 24 hours.

    If you experience no freezing, then you know its related to an app you installed.

    If you experience freezing, I would reinstall. I've a Nexus 7 (2013) and for me there has not being one single problem I've personally experienced since Lollipop (5.0.2) was installed.

    My wife's n7 does exactly the same.She says since lollipop,it is practically unusable. There is apparently another update coming in February which will sort the problems.

    Same here, with 5.02 it's a crock. I'm just waiting until I have the time to revert back to KitKat.

    Seems like the 2012 model still has problems whilst the 2013 model is running fine.
    Have the 2012 users verified they are on 5.0.2 and then done a factory reset?

    It's a well know issue at this stage, people have tried everything, there's articles everywhere about it and a long thread on the google support forum

    I'm having the same problems. Since updating its running very sluggish and freezes very often and reboots itself.

    Definitely on 5.0.2 had issues mentioned in a previous thread from 5.0 , got 5.0.2 OTA fixed some stability issues ,
    Developed the 20 minutes freezing a few days in along with Rediculous recharging times ,

    8-10 factory resets , cleared the cashe multiple times and currently have zero apps bar what came with it Google wise Gmail, chrome , YouTube deleted everything else .
    At this stage I'm thinking of buying a 2014 tablet
