I think that not optimized custom kernels and roms are greatly affecting the great experience lollipop has to offer if done right
[Nexus 5 General] leomagnani:
Overall great experience in almost all terms, mainly battery life.

The major bug that is annoying me is that my wife (even always on) sometimes lose connections with screen off, I need to wake up and suddenly the WiFi turns on...

I did not realize why these happen...

Every once in a while I will get a weird bug where I press the power button, and my camera is open. It seems to only happen after my phone has been on consistently for a few days, and a reboot will usually fix it for a while.

Once it does happen, it continues to happen randomly, until I reboot the phone. Anyone else have this?
[Nexus 5 General] xdatastic:
Yes, I've had this before. I thought it was just me going mad.
[Nexus 5 General] Laurentius26:
Ok thanks, I didn't say closing all tasks does something to the performance but it does look cluttered Indeed all these open tasks and that's the reason I like to close them all with one button just like the button in notifications.

In Windows multitasking was not that good, I love this on Android. :)
[Nexus 5 General] Tidbits:
On the Nexus 6 I found two bugs. I keep getting FC on the cloud printing and I also unable to tap onto the Notification toasts.
[Nexus 5 General] Pandaplint:
I just really like the small detailed animations.
[Nexus 5 General] vbz89:
What I don't get is why the phone keeps connecting to data for my location when I'm already on wifi. I'm on a prepaid plan and the frequent pop ups are quite annoying. The os/apps can easily get my location from wifi too.. I need to manually toggle data on and off everytime I connect to wifi.
[Nexus 5 General] Tidbits:
I think it's because you have your GPS set to be at maximum accuracy which use GPS and AGPS(cellular towers). You can go into settings and change it to where you won't use AGPS.
[Nexus 5 General] jtwlbz:
I like everything but battery drain.
[Nexus 5 General] defffizz:
Lollipop is definitely not as fast as kitkat on ART.

[Nexus 5 General] _jordan_:
While I can't confirm any of the outlandish claims of double or even triple battery life, I can confirm the following:

1.) Overall great update, nice theme. Works well.

Bugs:

1.) The scheduled interruption downtime aka "do not disturb" mode scheduler fails to turn off DND mode the next morning. I've encountered this bug several times.

2.) The launcher redraws a lot. Probably memory leaks all over the place.

3.) Apps stay in the recents app switcher even after a restart! This is crazy.
[Nexus 5 General] DonDizzurp:
That's not a bug. That's how it is by design.
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
I dont understand

Ignore it .. Just stupid mx player .. Its 28.58 fps actually
[Nexus 5 General] stankyou:
My only thoughts right now about Android 5.0 is that it needs to get a 0.1 incremental update asap with all the known bugs addressed.

[Nexus 5 General] Pastorelli's:
1) Encountered this problem too, now it has stopped somehow after going through the Interuptions settings, buggy it still is.

3) And yes multitasker is a mess really, too many stuff appearing there everytime.
[Nexus 5 General] RogerPodacter:
So did they fix the low volume bug on keyboard presses and general clicks/taps? Its basically not audible on the L preview and i havent flashed the final version yet...
[Nexus 5 General] MrObvious:
Yes they fixed it
[Nexus 5 General] luctreebusch:
I don't know why google came with just a little update to counter some of these bugs. The second one I find really anoying but i love the google now launcher.
[Nexus 5 General] Simonna:
I'm noticing a little bigger RAM usage too but never had my launcher redraws,only had two times some apps crashes cause of too little ram (which was around 300MB free) so I can say that RAM management is really more aggressive compared to Kitkat one...
[Nexus 5 General] Bob Barnsen:
5.0 is the first version, since my first Android device several years ago, where i have the desire to go back to the previous version.

While i like the new design, many more things annoy me really:

- space between buttons in the settings menu is so damn huge and i have to scroll more

- no real custom rom yet

- Xposed not (yet) working (many features i miss: advanced power menu, configurable quick settings buttons in title bar, battery percentage, and several smaller adjustments)

- still no option to show the battery percentage in statusbar with the stockrom? /facepalm

- that new drop down statusbar is so bad IMO. Too much clicking is needed to view/activate/configure things

- no more "TV off"-effect when turning off the display :(

I really hope there will soon be some AOKP-like custom roms. At the moment there doesn't seem to be a 5.0 custom rom which adds new features
[Nexus 5 General] Static-xy:
I encrypted my nexus5 and now it is drastically slower.
[Nexus 5 General] NJGSII:
At least for the One M8 there are flashable zips that do give you APM and battery percentage. Also there are some that reduce the height of the nav bar. There gotta be some on here, just dont know because I'm way more active over there than here.

I have to disagree with the too much clicking. Want to use the LEDs as a flashight? Swipe down and click. Want to see your battery stats? Swipe down and click the battery icon. Also if I want to toggle off WiFi or Bluetooth all I need to do is you guessed it, swipe down and click the respective icon. On KitKat with GPE or this phone you needed gravitybox and then going into that setting to override the default behavior to do that. I also like how its less cluttered than having the tiles.

But to each its own. I'm not attacking your views and didn't mean to. Its interesting seeing different perspectives.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Well obviously
[Nexus 5 General] Static-xy:
Well, i don't like it. Are you trying to tell me that the only way to make it as fast it was, is to ditch encryption?
[Nexus 5 General] b1337:
Yup
[Nexus 5 General] gamer.11:
Eh, that was mentioned in the IO itself, it is a feature of Lollipop not a Bug.
[Nexus 5 General] mauecky:
I think its not time for lollipop yet. No mods, no xposed... Flashing kitkat now.
[Nexus 5 General] class101:
Lollipop ? No thanks, that's garbage

mine is flashed to 4.4.4 with the OTA notification disabled because unlike 4.4.4 I cannot anymore

- Login with a Google App password, they force me to use my main Google password, nice security move...

- Manually reverse tethering the rndis usb interface does not work anymore and requires going deeper to find which resttriction is blocking [link]

- Scroll option panels without issuing miss clicks the App buttons, for example scrolling down the SuperSU option panel without pushing a button by mistake is like an achievement

For me 5.0 is a regression, 4.4.4 is progression

Nexus 5 Speed Test - Manually USB Reverse Tethering ON - 4.4.4 (stable and as fast my box can, 18Mb max)

Nexus 5 Speed Test - Manually USB Reverse Tethering OFF - 4.4.4 (unstable and slow as hell wifi sucks = 5.0 Lollipop)
[Nexus 5 General] tweaked:
Some of you people are like old folks.

How dare things change! My VCR worked just fine. Sits and watches the time flash on the vcr cause its never been set.... ...

:laugh::eek:
[Nexus 5 General] shadowcore:
Too many animations with Lolpop. Google overdid it with them.

Seriously, material design is by all means meh.
[Nexus 5 General] Mythos123:
now that 5.0 has been out for a while, do u guys think that it lived up to the hype? was it worth the wait, or have u infact reverted to kitkat once again because u missed all the funcionality that xposed modules have to offer? ?
[Nexus 5 General] mikehunt22:
I love material design. Holo just felt...dated. Everything about material design (for my needs and wants) feels updated and pleasant to look at. I'll gladly trade some of the old stuff for the updated new stuff (loving the new notification shade).
[Nexus 5 General] pookipsy:
i think that it is indeed a big change and the hype was justified, tough like any other new android version, it needs the next update and bug fixes for a more whole experience.
[Nexus 5 General] tdimarzio:
Agreed. Google really needs to optimize the file system encryption. Performance hit is significant.
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
I dont knw why the battery stats is showing wifi on ..... Slight drain present too... I havent switched it on yet and have also set that wifi on during sleep to never.

Weird ..clean flash here
[Nexus 5 General] madd0g:
It's software encryption and it will stay this way unless there's dedicated HW in the device which helps. You can't optimize it.
[Nexus 5 General] Tidbits:
I believe all devices that have the S800 or higher snapdragon processors have the hardware. The drivers however are proprietary.
[Nexus 5 General] ast00:
In short: Full of Hungarian translation fails, many of which I reported at r3 stage, Google dudes said they fixed it, yet they are all there in r7.

If you have a fullscreen app, then quick toggles come down in 3! swipes. It's plain stupid.

Material design: Good, but how about updating Youtube and a couple of other apps?

How about making Google Now work outside the US? I set all my interests, have location service enabled, said I only use public transportation, yet I get a prompt use let Google Maps navigate me to work on the highway. Yeah, trains all go on the hightways.

And the wifi battery drain. I don't care if you hide the stat, FIX THE DAMN BUG!
[Nexus 5 General] DerFremde:
That's not true if you know how to use Android. Try swiping with two fingers, you'll find yourself surprised.
[Nexus 5 General] ast00:
That's not a solution. I use my phone one handed therefore two finger swiping is not an option.
[Nexus 5 General] pookipsy:
the solution is wipe down directly to toggles if there are no temp notifications that i hope they will implement in the next update.
[Nexus 5 General] tdimarzio:
Oh, software can't be optimized? The only way to accelerate any computational function or algorithm is through dedicated HW? Yes, dedicated HW would be nice, especially in the new flash ship N6 which enables encryption by default, and would make the solution simple. In the meantime, software optimization or some other creative/alternative solutions need to be considered.

[Nexus 5 General] mokee92:
I'm going back to 4.4.4

It's kind of sad it has come down to this. I'm having so many app closes, it's ridiculous. Chrome randomly closes, Maps randomly just shuts down. PowerAmp shuts down even when there is no other app open. The phone gets super laggy after a couple days of use and I gotta restart it ever other day. Real Racing 3 randomly closes. I even got a notification saying camera not found when trying to use it. So yea, I'm pretty upset. Oh and just so everyone knows, I did a clean install by flashing the factory images. :( Lollipop isn't complete. Google fed us a beta OS.
[Nexus 5 General] m2geek:
Initially I was very excited for it like most us were, but to be honest - I'm quite over it LOL.

It may change once the AOKPs, AICP, Carbon, CM12s all come out of alphas into dailies/weeklies.

I am right now flashing back to 4.4.4 CM11

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

Yup - I feel the same way.
[Nexus 5 General] Ave_CoVeR:
Can you link what image you installed?
[Nexus 5 General] -A-P-M-:
Overall, I think its nice update and I like it. Design is fresh and I hope other apps will soon get material design.

I can't say about battery yet, because I updated yesterday afternoon, but so far it looks worse. Also battery charging is slower, but I don't care about that, because I put phone on charger overnight.

Messaging app looks very nice, but thats all. Looks like Google can't decide to which direction they want to go. They still don't have good iMessage alternative, which is miles ahead of messaging in Android. I would like to send online messages to other Android users, if connection isn't available, it would send SMS.

I also thought battery % in status bar is available in lollipop, but I was suprised when I saw it isn't. Anyway, I enabled it with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kroegerama.android4batpercent . It looks nice, I hope it will be also seen when battery will be under 40% (currently is a little under 80%).

I didn't had a lot of time to play with battery monitor yet, but I think battery percentage is calculated different. Currently (after 2 hours) it shows that display used 2% and is highest consumer. :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] Prezlamen:
i have installed official img file from googles page. extracted with 7zip, sopied it into Minimal ADB And Fastboot folder, and double clicked on flash-all.bat
[Nexus 5 General] yuyeung.wong:
One small nice feature: when connected to a wifi network that requires further login (web-based) lollipop now continues to use mobile network to reach the internet. Very thoughtful and avoids blocking myself out unknowingly.
[Nexus 5 General] Mairo:
1.why Google Sound search is frosen under Titanium. I must defrost it and even then after some time sound search widget disappears. ( Location Estonia )

2.when I listen to music then on the lockscreen I can only select next song and paus the song. why can´t select previous song :D

3. and I also don´t like Google launcher and white app drawer.

4. and how to lose carrier info on the lockscreen , top left.
[Nexus 5 General] chikess:
Yeah batterylife sucks...

I'll wipe again.
[Nexus 5 General] CatThief:
Likes:

Material design is fresh and a welcome change.

Transitions are fluid and smooth.

Dislikes:

Battery is worse, but I'll give it more time to settle down.

Battery stats are useless.

Camera sucks - STILL.

Can no longer directly toggle on/off Data and Airplane Mode using the Power Toggles app (get taken to Settings to make the change - hope it's fixable).

Dislike the "Interruptions" option - no way to simply disable it.

The white backgrounds everywhere, a bit hard on the eyes.

Recents are more difficult to remove and confusing how they're layered over each other. A "clear all" button would be nice, like with notifications.

Stock e-mail is gone.

I sure do miss Xposed :(

Conclusion:

I'm wondering what all the hype was about.

EDIT:

This thread is for our opinions of 5.0, not for opinions of us. Do correct us if we're wrong, but there is no need for rudeness if you disagree. Thank you.
[Nexus 5 General] Glajda:
I generally like it, but a few things annoy me.

1. How can I check the time running on battery? All I can see is an estimate when the phone will switch off, but no actual running time.

2. minor annoyance: two step unlock. I set up a pattern to unlock, but have to swipe first, then enter the pattern.

3. big annoyance: if I set up a trusted device, I would expect the phone to be completely unlocked, but I still have to swipe when I turn on the screen. The functionality is there, since you can set the phone to use no lock and it works. It's quite annoying If I use it in the car for navigation and turn the screen off to conserve power.

4. I would really like to add a WI-fi network to the trusted devices, I don't have a useful bluetooth device at home.

5. Can you set an application to have notifications on the phone but not on the lock screen? I use power toggles and now I have a big bar on my lock screen.
[Nexus 5 General] blueren:
Is the notification ticker killed off in L? Up until KK every notification's first 2 lines used to be displayed on the status bar. On L (including the factory images) this does not happen. The notification icon appears and that about it. Is this expected behavior or is this still an open issue / bug?
[Nexus 5 General] towelboy:
Battery has been horrible I don't know why.. Getting 1h sot

Location off btw
[Nexus 5 General] gtg465x:
Wow, this thread is full of crap. Lollipop has been great for me so far. Battery life is just as good as KitKat for me and will be better once app developers update their apps to take advantage of the new Project Volta APIs. Half of the complaints in here don't even make sense. People complaining that face unlock is gone? It's still there. The extra white in the UI eating up more battery? Um, no, not on LCD screens like the one in the Nexus 5. Complaining about encryption not being on by default? If you saw the performance hit it causes in disk access you would be glad they didn't enable it by default for us. Complaining about a couple extra Google apps (Sheets, Docs, and Slides)? Really? That's why Google gave us a feature to disable system apps. Disable them and forget it! Holy crap, go back to KitKat if it's that bad! It's the biggest update to Android since ICS and it was just released yesterday. There will be bugs, just like with every major software update from every company ever. They will be fixed. Annoyances will be ironed out. Damn, I can't believe there are so many complainers. I have been using Android since Eclair and this is by FAR my favorite release ever. I love it!
[Nexus 5 General] rolldroids:
No alarms when notifications are set none. That is really no feature but a fat BUG!!!
[Nexus 5 General] -A-P-M-:
How are those percentages in battery monitor calculated ?

---------- Post added at 09:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 AM ----------

Its written when you set "none" that even alarms are off. If you set to priority, then alarm works. IMO alarms should always work.
[Nexus 5 General] mayurh:
1. i also want a clear all in the recents box

2. stock gallery gone? g+ gallery is too slow and not nice at all

3. lock screen widgets ,it was nice to have and see my calender to remind me of things i need to do

4. battery percentage in the status bar like before would be awesome

5. wifi optimisation option? its gone? why

i think im ready to root and put a custom rom that can fix most of these issues:)

otherwise its nice

I think Wi-Fi bug still exists, getting too much wake clocks while Wi-Fi on.

I am down to 50% Juice with just 1 hr 10 mins SOT.

:rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] Liskrig:
I tried Stock 5.0 all today (7am to 4pm) during a heavy work day. Lots of very important calls, and urgent emails *fixes tie* ;) I didn't have much time to really dive into the settings, so these are just initial impressions.

Battery: ~3 hours SoT w/ 15% left. Screen being #1, and Exchange being #2. I get too many work emails :(

Overall, I'm happy with it. I like the Exchange services integrated in Gmail, and felt like it was easy enough for me to respond to personal emails, and work emails without accidentally sending something to the wrong recipient.

The calls were fine, except for one call that dropped me from full HSPA+ to no HSPA+... The call started to get choppy too. Could have also been the fact that I'm using a nano-SIM with an adapter. Hasn't happened since that one time, but was concerning.

I installed Messenger before I ever launched Hangouts on 5.0 and it is what Hangouts should have been from the start. Clean design, RELIABLE MMS and its integrated perfectly into the lock screen notifications.

No other real complaints though... Just waiting for Xposed, Gravity Box, and ViPER4.
[Nexus 5 General] rolldroids:
[MENTION=846982]apm[/MENTION]: Yes, exactly. Alarms should never ever be disabled. The current behaviour is absolutely stupid imo
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
For those who dont like google+ photos gallery , try quickpic or piktures(material UI) . much better than the AOSP gallery and photos app .
[Nexus 5 General] Disneycast29:
This is just day one usage. I think that's pretty good. As the battery settles it may get better.
[Nexus 5 General] pezkiln:
It's not that change itself is bad rather the change has to be good in order for it to be considered useful. Otherwise, what's the point. And some changes in Lollipop right now are bad!
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Which isn't really any different from two swipes and a tap like it used to be.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
Going into silent/vibrate mode while listening to music is a PITA. A notification toggle, or keeping that option in power menu would've been an elegant solution.

[Nexus 5 General] TigerCourage:
Lollipop has a memory leak, I can confirm. I never had to restart KitKat before. On Lollipop I have to restart every 3 - 4 days otherwise I get loads of redraws.
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
Mine .. Haven't restarted from 3-4 days..

Just killed some apps .

System use very little memory for me..

But sometimes i do experience memory leaks .. It just comes and goes..
[Nexus 5 General] m0h1t:
For me too. When encrypted, multi tasking is considerably slower and switching between apps like chrome and maps can take up 3-4 seconds at times. The lag and the sluggishness only gets worse with time. The phone gets irritatingly slow a full day after device boot.

Sometimes, I feel like throwing the phone on the floor and then thrashing it with a hammer
[Nexus 5 General] *system error*:
What is the point of pinning if you hand off your phone and the user hits back and a toast tells them how to get out if it? Or am I missing something?
[Nexus 5 General] Tidbits:
You can set a pin.
[Nexus 5 General] Static-xy:
Yes, drastically, unfortunately.

And to be honest, I only used android 5.0 for couple of days before I went and did encryption. In those couple of days I did not see much difference in speed comparing it to kit kat 4.4.4. Maybe I just did not spend much time playing with it. Now, that I have android 5.0 with encryption for more than a week, I ran into different issues. It is slower, it lags, unresponsive, battery drains faster.. It become so slow I have to reboot it often.. I had situation that camera will not start, I had to reboot to make it work again. I experienced other little things I can't remember exactly what and how I got it into those modes...

All in all, just like everything else, they rush it to get it out to the market, but it is never finished product.
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
Btw Android lollipop has a bug where it actually slows down after a few days and requires a restart to speed it up... Is it possible that's what you're seeing

I've been running Encrypted for about a week and can't really notice much of a difference, I linked that video in the original post, it shows a small difference imo

But I also have to restart every 2-3 days because it slows down, I think that's down to lollipop rather than encryption
[Nexus 5 General] biscuitownz:
I can confirm that it shouldn't be a problem with encryption, as I also experience the slowdowns after a few days without encryption.
[Nexus 5 General] ekz13:
think it might be the memory leak .. notice the phone goes from 200-300mb to well over 1gb and start laggin, reboot corrects it for a while ..i think everyone has it, encrypted or not.. (i'm unencrypted )
[Nexus 5 General] surrealjam:
For my own sad pleasure, I plotted the initial release date and the first maintenance release date for Android versions from 2.0 (excluding Honeycomb) as attached.

The average time between initial and maintenance is around 53 days which would make a 5.0.1 release the 3rd January 2015. This is greatly thrown off by Froyo where the maintenance release was a massive 243 days later.

If we exclude Froyo, the average comes down to around 26 days and that would place a 5.0.1 release at around 7th December...

Disclaimer - this was just for a bit of fun and I am in no way in contact with Google nor clairvoyant to all things Android.

So this even happens after a clean flash?
