Read above what I wrote. Android police's tipster said there were a few bugs so it pushes the otas for the first few devices such as the n7 and n10 to start on the 12th. Keyword is start. Its still up to interpretation. But Tmobile releases the n6 on the 12th. Either n6 factory images are up then or later and once the images are up for the WiFi tablets then we should be seeing the n5 factory images. I imagine otas not completing doe all nexus devices until end of December if ota is all you're looking for. Factory images should and always are a faster bet.
[Nexus 5 General] Wakamatsu:
That's about the size I'd expect in a ROM without the Google bloat.
[Nexus 5 General] Atok_fr:
Of course. And the word "tipster" is important too : it's not a official source :)

̶V̶a̶l̶v̶e Google, give me D̶i̶r̶e̶t̶i̶d̶e Lollipop :DD

Of course but android police is very reputable and has very reliable tipsters and sources.

Can I install the preview and later update to the final version by OTA?
[Nexus 5 General] The-Kevster:
No. Full wipe required.
[Nexus 5 General] surrealjam:
I didn't say the "miscellaneous" item being reported was a bug - clearly it's designed to exist as it even has a description for it in the UI. The key thing here is "significant 'miscellaneous' battery usage" and running times nearly half what the phone is capable of. I don't think Google spend so long investigating things that aren't bugs - they have better things to do.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Okay, so I have been running the developers preview since yesterday, I'm very impressed so far, and I'm sure I will be even more impressed when the full, ready for consumers version is posted up or sent over the air, whenever that may be (I'm a patient guy, I'd rather it be done well, than be full of bugs and issues)

HOWEVER two annoyances that have cropped up, which were not addressed in KitKat either are;

Pixelated/Blurry App Icons. Sure enough, Google's app icons are stunning, but what about all of the other apps? Why is my Clean Master app blurry? Just like it was in KitKat? Can't Google kick the developers into HD aka 2014!

Second annoyance with Lollipop, which again was not addressed in KitKat, is the lack of a customisable app drawer. Why can't we have folders in our App drawer? Who on earth wants to fill up their home screen with app folders?

I wish Google would address these issues, I see and hear a lot of people discussing them and finding them annoying. Especially for those of us with OCD who like a clean interface, with organised apps.

Why should I keep relying on Nova to do the job that Google should be doing? They wanted us all to have the Google Now Launcher, and yet it lacks the fundamental customisable functions we have all enjoyed on other third party launchers.

Rant over ;)
[Nexus 5 General] jonnyguitar:
So, I've decided to flash the dev preview image until the real shebang appears in a week or five.

I'm going use the build here http://developer.android.com/preview/index.html as it's the official one, and don't feel I want to use other ROMs at the moment.

Can someone give me an indication of the known bugs and gripes please? I know about the possible miscellaneous battery issue - I can live with that for a while. Anything else? Does it come with Google Play or not?

Sorry if these Q's have been asked already! Don't give me a hard time - it's difficult to search through 823 pages!

[Nexus 5 General] gverma1:
Comes with all standard apps including Google play. Gmail not there but can be downloaded. Email doesn't support exchange but I replaced it with KitKat email. If you want root, flash latest twrp, permissive kernel by sycopompos (hope I got the name right), chainfire's SuperSU and you are done.
[Nexus 5 General] :
I flashed that exact one, for the same reason. It includes a lot of old bloat, which I disabled. It does include the play store, thankfully in My Apps>All Apps, all missing Google Apps can be re-installed.

I did some research into known bugs before I flashed it, as far as I can tell, there isn't many and any glitches or small annoyances should be fixed in the full version.

So far I am receiving calls and SMS messages just fine, and have had quite a pleasant experience :)
[Nexus 5 General] jonnyguitar:
Thanks. I don't want root. I have the apk files of the new Gmail and Calendar apps, and will use Google Play for everything else. I don't need Exchange support.

Did I read somewhere there was an issue with Google Drive apps? Or was I reading about something else?

Do the Natwest Business and Sky Go apps work with the Dev Preview image? I remember both those apps not being compatible with the 4.4 update, and it took a while for them to sort it.

I'm a HSBC customer myself, so I'm not too sure about the NatWest Business app working.

I did try Sky Go and got the following message;
[Nexus 5 General] robertusIT:
maybe this delay is for Nexus 6.

To release an os only for new devices in first.

A marketing reason and not a wifi bug.

This issue has been fixed in the latest builds, and this issue is now considered resolved. Thanks everyone.
[Nexus 5 General] jonnyguitar:
Great. So what bugs are we left with? DId I hear there was a wifi issue of some kind?

If no bugs are left and the image doesn't appear today I guess we can assume this is a marketing driven delay related to Nexus 6, rather than a technical delay...

Edit - My bad. Seems the wifi issue and the battery misc drain issue are the same thing?

[Nexus 5 General] Vaxx93:
Yesterday the miscellaneous battery drain was there, today it's not.. I'm using the most recent dev preview.

I do experience high battery usage by Whatsapp (9%, was about 2% on 4.4.4), anybody else with the same problem?
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
That would be an app problem and not related to android itself
[Nexus 5 General] NJGSII:
I don't even think the Nexus 6 is even in consumers hands yet. Don't think we'll see anything officially til then. Once their image drops this phone shouldn't be too far behind. The build that's been built from the latest source is running pretty good. Nothing funky has occurred yet.
[Nexus 5 General] Ltdrev:
I should say to be honest I just noticed my second N5 with a totally different set of app & stock kernel still has "miscellaneous" sucking tha juice, I didn't notice sooner as that second one has a weak battery, it's charging most of the time :(
[Nexus 5 General] cobhc:
For me it's not just on WiFi even with WiFi and scanning turned off the drain is horrific.
[Nexus 5 General] elsuzio:
If you are experiencing battery drain on "miscellaneous" and can't wait to the official L release, just set SELinux to Permissive. That's the root of the battery drain problem solved by Google, a lot of calls to IRQs which didn't have permission to be called.

I've tried it and it works as intended (without SELinux, of course), no sign of miscellaneous battery usage.
[Nexus 5 General] krs360:
I have watched this rumour of 12 November release and delayed due to this bug blah blah blah unfold from the beginning.

+ArtemRussakovskii said in one comment on one personal post (not Android Police) that his source at Google had told him that the release had been delayed due to a bug (didn't specify what).

Then someone followed up his comment to say that a bug on the tracker had been noted as fixed.

Then someone put 2 and 2 together and made 17, and said that the bug must be what delayed the images being released.

Now the Android/Nexus 5 rumour mill has been reported and blogged that this issue was definitely what was delaying the release, and it definitely will be released next week!

Hilarious when you look at it from a distance, but irritating that people get sucked in to this web of he-said she-said rumour nonsense. All came from some throw away comment on a google+ post.

[Nexus 5 General] spades14:
I was under the impression that the reason it was delayed was because the battery was being drained heavily in the latest preview. They just marked it as fixed about 14 hours ago so I think once the final version comes out on 11/12, it will be way more stable.

Yeah, so I take back my earlier comment about not noticing the bug. Glad they have fixed it.

I'd have been rather annoyed if this popped up randomly in a final released version of 5.0:
[Nexus 5 General] NotFromMountainView:
As far as I've seen Google hasn't actually given exact release dates for updates - even the November 12th date floating around is based on a reporter's tip. Google did announce the Lollipop release for the 3rd & as N9s are circulation they've been true to that. Our frustrations come principally from our own expectations rather than Googles jerks & lurches.

That said, I've been counting the seconds since 23:59 on the 2nd. :)

I'm stuck in android L developer preview!

So a few days ago I flashed the android L developer preview on my tablet using a zip file because my tablet's charging port is broken. The thing is, I forgot to flash the zip file for getting root again and now I am stuck with this developer preview. I have no way to connect to the computer and I have no root now. I have no clue what to do. Does anyone have any ideas to help me?

[Nexus 5 General] xIceCream:
if the charging port is broken, how do you have the zip file inside?

Anyway, you could use airdroid to transfer the files between wifi, then go to recovery and flash from there.

Hey guys, I noticed the the WiFi battery drain bug seems to rear it's ugly head even when WiFi is turned off.
[Nexus 5 General] scottharris4:
It's been fixed, won't be a problem in the final version. Nothing can be done about it on the preview.
[Nexus 5 General] times_infinity:
Oh no I know. I know one of the Google developers suggested turning off WiFi as a temp workaround. But even with that, it seemed to crop up without WiFi being on. A simple reboot seemed to clear it up for now.
[Nexus 5 General] NJGSII:
If you have the wifi always scanning option checked off for the sake of location purposes, then WiFi would still be on.

[Nexus 5 General] Leong428:
Why do the baked ROMs out here at the moment only have basic AOSP functionality and missing the usual customisable features such as navbar DPI, advanced power menu, statusbar slider brightness etc?

Is it because these features take longer to code with a new version of android, or simply because we need a complete Nexus 5 image for it to be possible?

The fact of the matter is that Google never promised us any solid release date. This update has been just like any other release on a nexus device. Impatient people start believing the click bait blog rumors and start preaching these false release dates as fact.
