Any idea how I un-install it? I think I'll wait for 5.1

Still sat on KitKat on my Galaxy Nexus, though lots of the app-level changes are coming through anyway (Mail and Calendar updated recently, I've been using Fit for a week or so, and I got Inbox yesterday). The more I hear about Lollipop, the more I think I'll upgrade to an N4 or N5, or a Moto-G.

Big video playback issues with 5.0 on the Nexus 7.

You might want to hold off updating for a while. I updated by sideloading from my computer and I can no longer use YouTube. iPlayer and the like still work.

Some people are reporting further issues with video recording et al.

Be careful out there.

@nickjb you probably can via the factory images which are readily available and flash via adb. Not 100? sure though. XDA forum would be the place to check.

It's shit up the wireless on my Nexus 4. Keeps disconnecting then reconnecting - doing it at home and in the office.

Flappy android. Working fine on my Nexus 5. Although the proximity unlock, or whatever it's called doesn't work that well. Oh and work email is kaput, but that's more a work security issue than Lollipop.

No real issues here on the 5 so far, couple of app crashes on day 1 but nothing since then and lots and lots of app updates coming through. Only thing I can't find is the silent no vibrate setting for being asleep, probably means I need to go into the DND or block settings.

Definitely messed mine up. Flattened the battery 3 times in a day. Can't connect to any Google services. Dropped a phone call. Won't connect over usb. I'm yet to find a redeeming feature, the open apps list is much worse than 4. I want to like and I'd be much happier if it worked it but I'm struggling.

Arrived today on my first-gen Nexus 7.

Annoyingly, the battery's too low to install the bugger. Currently charging.

Received the OTA for the nexus 7 2012 yesterday morning.

I really like the look and the animations. The nexus itself has been becoming really slow to do pretty much anything, but since the update it's a lot quicker when app switching or opening a link etc. The best feature I've found so far (other than the easter egg) is search in settings.

And my phone has started crashing again. Completely non responsive this morning, had to hold down buttons until led flashed red then it eventually started the factory boot loader. To be fair, it has done this before on kit-kat, but not for a while. So hopefully it is a misbehaving app that needs an update.

After playing with the triple tap the version number I get a pretty KitKat screen so still waiting on my Nexus 4 🙁

However, I then triple tapped the build number and after the third go it reveals a developer menu on main settings screen...lots of clever geeky stuff in there it seems 🙂

Lollipop turned up for Nexus 5 last night, earlier days but it seems a bit of an improvement.

Nexus 7 2012 after the initial improvement seems to be struggling now. I might try a full reset as there is very little on there other than the stock apps and see if that improves things.

Slightly OT, but if anyone wants an invite to inbox let me know as I have a few going spare.

finally, I've just got the notification on my n5, currently downloading. I'm not expecting any great leaps...and will need to learn to silence the thing.

My phone (HTC One M8) downloaded a 75Mb update earlier but it wasn't Lollipop. Got a Nexus 7 (2nd gen) waiting for it too.

Heard various mixed reviews so will see what happens...

Nexus 5 is just about ready to crap out but has done 3 hrs screen on, haven't seen much over 2 hrs recently so maybe Volta has brought improvement.

Well that update just hosed a battery that was at 70%. Phone is faster but scrolling is jerky, visual changes will take a day or two to get used to, I've lost my photo gallery widget and app.... Why did they Bother?! Oh and keyboard seems weird

My N4 upgraded 2 nights ago and no issues since, although I wasn't a fan of the way Gmail stole my email accounts from K9 and my contacts from 'People'.

The Google Play Edition Lollipop for HTC M8 is meant to be around today (Friday) so the custom roms (minus Sense) will be starting to surface. HTC reckon december/jan for the Sense version of lollipop with hopefully a new version of sense (7.0). I tried a custom rom of Lollipop last week. Looked great but a little buggy - wifi not always working, data connection temperamental too.

My Nexus 7 has borked itself, Lollipop has slowed it to a crawl, the auto rotate has stopped working, and I'm pissed off with it.

Installed OTA onto my N5 this morning. Installed perfectly and seems to be running as it should. Really liking it TBH. Lock screen notifications a big step forward. Lighter, more contemporary look is bang on. Only dislike is Chrome tab management - haven't figured it out yet.

Seem to remember something in the install saying you could go back to the old style of chrome tabs if you wanted.

Chrome > Settings > Merge tabs with apps

Turn off to go back to tabs in chrome, turn on put tabs in the app switcher (square menu button)

Menu buttons make me think of Sony PS - circle, square, triangle....

Seemingly OK on a Nexus 10 - youtube plays, Netflix plays, etc.

I did a factory reset.

Only screw-up is the PluralSight offline player is borked, and one of the reasons for trying the upgrade was to see if it improved its performance as it stutters a lot with some of the videos.

I got bored of waiting for it to come through on my nexus 4 so followed this: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2mgh8o/nexus_4_lollipop_ota_link_and_update_guide/

Worked with no problems.

Well I've cleared the cache for every app on my n5 and while better its not right. Scrolling the screen is really show and jerky.
I'm currently playing with my mum's n10 running lolly and the same problem here. Again I've been through and cleared the cache for all apps but screen scrolling is painfully slow. I'm going to have to factory reset both devices. Jeez, I gave my n4 to my fiancee and frustratingly she has stead fast refused to try it, clinging to her old dumb Nokia..... Smart girl it seems.

You could try this:

you need to go into developer mode -in settings/about tablet tap the build number 7 times, then you'll find a new developer settings item appears in the main settings menu. The animation scale options are in there
http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/nexus-7-killed-by-lollipop-what-next/page/2

Go into the developer options as above. There are three options under "Drawing" in Developer Options :
-Window animation scale
-Transition animation scale
-Animator duration scale
Turn all three to 'Animation off'.

then, under the 'Apps' subheading (in developer options still), set Background Process Limit to "at most, 2 processes".

My N4 and N7 have been flying along since I did that.

I may just side load 4.4.4 again or take a look at XDA devs and see what is hot.... Cyanogenmod based probably. I really don't think I should have to do that with devices as new as the 5 and 10 though, or the 4 tbh. Still my old desire is still going OK on mild wild, and it had ground to a halt on froyo 2.1.1. Seems Google are struggling with some of the basics

OK currently on the 10 and have set animation off and background services to 2. Looks possibly better, but I'd still day it was smoother on KitKat. The screen is occasionally flickery, or moves a bit, almost like it goes in and out of focus. I'll see how it goes. Getting frustrated though.
