[Nexus 5 General] ConorCX:
Things I like:

A better effort towards a more unified and persistent user interface. Google have done a good job in producing material design guidelines for app developers to use when developing for Android 5.0.

New quick toggles menu featuring a built in flash light. It was about time a flash light was added without having to install third party apps.

The operating system fluidity and transitions from one app to the other are a little better than they were on KitKat and that's really nice.

I've seen a small increase in battery life performance, and we'll see if that improves further a few battery cycles down the line.

Flappy Android. It's really addictive.

Things I don't like:

The removal of the Gallery app and replacement with the Google+ Photos app. I've installed QuickPic again to remedy this minor issue.

Alarms don't sound when the phone is more silent than vibrate. I normally only used the totally silent mode when I went to sleep, but now I am just using the Priority mode when I go to sleep.

Chrome placing tabs in the task manager. I've disabled that via the Chrome settings menu.

You might notice that the things I dislike so far about Android 5.0 are little things, and as such I've managed to remedy them in some way or another. Overall, I am really enjoying using Lollipop so far and have had no problems in terms of apps crashing or stability of the OS.
[Nexus 5 General] geemacd:
1. The good - It's definitely faster than Kk on my phone

The bad

2. Battery life on first day of use is so much worse than before.

Drive to work, which is a 15 minute journey listening to a podcast while phone was plugged into charger lost 7% battery, which is unheard of.

3. New notification system in lock screen, hate it, I just want to see the icons on the status bar like before, I don't want them spread across the entire screen. I use power toggles and you get that bar across whole screen, last night phone in my pocket switched on torch because was on my screen

4. Incoming calls, instead of full screen picture when someone calls, it's just a small bar at top of screen .... that's rubbish, you attach pictures to contacts for a reason, at least I do, especially when you are driving and phone is docked, I want to see person that's calling easily, not have to try focus on a small name and icon.
[Nexus 5 General] jt3:
It's nice that it's in the play store and all, but the app wasn't actually removed from my device, it was changed to show that "Use Gmail Now" screen. Thus, as far as the play store is concerned, it's already installed. Since it's a system app, I can't uninstall and reinstall, either. It was simply , and very effectively, disabled, forcing you to use Gmail, or a 3rd-party app.

For me, I'm okay with using the Gmail app, but I can't change the profile picture for my two Exchange accounts. I simply have two randomly-colored circles, both with a letter J (the first letter of each email address). If I could change the profile picture for exchange accounts, or even the color, it'd be great. As it is, it's annoying.
[Nexus 5 General] Masteryates:
I have to disagree, I'm currently on 19% remaining with 1h 48m SOT and the phone as been up 1d 7h 33m. KK Stock.
[Nexus 5 General] aspico:
When the screen turns of after inactivity (mine set to 30 sec), it lights (gives more brightness one time more) before the screen turns off, could you check yours? Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
I love it. I have no real complaints whatsoever. I'm getting the same battery life on L as I was on Kitkat even with installing Fit and allowing it to track steps. That one thing alone should have taken a huge toll on my battery but it hasn't. UI is gorgeous and with things like Smart Unlock and DND, this is the first time in about 4 years I feel I have no need to install Tasker.

Only things I would add is long press recents to switch to last app and PA Peek's sensor polling when a notification comes in coupled with the seamless design of Nexus 6 Ambient Display.
[Nexus 5 General] Wdustin1:
OK one thing I haven't seen anybody complain about yet, when you look through your contacts and when you open up a contacts info their picture is colored, like green or orange or blue. What's wrong with just the picture. I don't like that but its nothing bad just an annoyance. Taking some getting used to had no choice but to install nova launcher I couldn't do google launcher for very long.
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
I can't really think of anything I hate in Lollipop. A lot of the things people are complaining about, I really don't have a problem with. The whole OS is smooth and looks so much better than it has in the past. I think the problem is that people don't like change.
[Nexus 5 General] Highway 55:
Thank you! Did not realize I could disable that feature. [emoji41]
[Nexus 5 General] nitinvaid:
i agree

it will take some time to get used to new things
[Nexus 5 General] nexuspur:
Since the design of jellybean it goes down.... Only my opinion

damn 33% in 2 hours, there is something wrong with your devices then, that is not normal
[Nexus 5 General] Edge330:
Can someone explain thing about auto brightnees...

If I turn on auto brig. in options I still have options to min or max brightness in notification center.

I guess this is for adjust auto brightness?
[Nexus 5 General] ivan08v:
Why people is asking for clear all recent apps button? Android is not meant to be closing background apps, let them be
[Nexus 5 General] smakme7757:
I love it to be honest.

However not being able to connect to our Wifi at work is a pain. It says "Connecting", then just reverts to "Saved". I had no troubles on KitKat 4.4.4. 5.0 "L" connects to my home Wifi perfectly fine thoough.
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
So, out of curiosity, you never close anything in your recent apps menu? The lack of a clear all button doesn't bother me because it's never been an option in stock Android but I still clear my apps.
[Nexus 5 General] Snez18:
Exactly what I'm thinking. Battery got to 0% in 3 hours and 18 minutes. Nothing is working properly. No way this is normal. I'm trying a full rebuild tonight, hopefully I get better results after that.
[Nexus 5 General] nabil alami:
FPS drops with some animation, in the new messenger app for example, when entering a certain text there are noticeable fps drops throughout the animation..
[Nexus 5 General] rocksyjj:
for all those folks not liking the white theres something coming woohoo

[Nexus 5 General] Blackbox421:
I really dont like the new statusbar design. The old one from KitKat was way better because it was much more cleaner.

Somehow I think Android L is still a bit in the development progress - I see many reporting bugs in battery, sound, eg.

I guess I wont update for first.
[Nexus 5 General] sebasgl1:
all those claims are from the developers previews, 5.0 oficial release is a notable improvement over kk
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
I see it slightly. I think it's due to the color changes it does. But I think that's the app more than anything. It's a new app though so updates should fix it.

You don't even want to try it out for yourself? Just going to take everyone elses word on it?
[Nexus 5 General] czacha234:
I would like to share my thoughts about new release. Its a second day of using it and I am quite happy with it. Battery life seems to be pretty decent to me considering how much I'm playing with it.

I like material design and I like white colours as well. I had enough of black everywhere so I'm very happy Google finally get rid of it. Lollipop has nice animations but I think there are to many of them. I can see slowdowns when exiting from apps and some graphic glitches as well.

I made a clean install by flashing factory images so I don't have any issues so far. Wifi works great for me (2.4Ghz and 5Ghz). I didn't noticed any unexpected behaviour form system itself. Google probably will give us another update soon anyway.

There are problems with apps compatibility as all of you have noticed. Only Helium doesn't work for me, all other apps I use work fine. Some people reporting problems with apps like Skype or Sygic but they work fine in my case.

Couple games don't work for me tho, Real Boxing FC's after launch, the same as North& South. Fpse gives me a licence check fail message while playing. Except these I didn't encounter any more problems so far.

Hopefully Google will release an update soon and it will fix all the issues. I'm happy with the system update.
[Nexus 5 General] danieljordanmaddux:
Its still there. Long press the app icon in recents.
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
If you look at your contacts in the Phone app, then yes they are colored. but if you view them using the Contacts app, they aren't.

I have no idea why they would be different but they are.
[Nexus 5 General] sciacallo010:
Wow thanks mate, I tried with the app title and then gave up :D
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
App compatibility isn't Google fault. The devs need to update their apps.
[Nexus 5 General] czacha234:
Yes, I know that. I was referring to system issues not apps.
[Nexus 5 General] MrObvious:
I like it. My battery drained a lot slower than syko's b22 with the WiFi drain bug. So far at an hour SOT almost with 76% battery but I have been making calls and my cell signal is crap at work too.
[Nexus 5 General] TiMbl4:
I really like the update so far. One complaint though - no built-in gallery app. Welp... Downloaded "QuickPic". Battery life - great, a bit better than on Kitkat.
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
Agree. Like many others, I liked the stock gallery app and didn't see the need for a change. That Google+ Photos app is a complete mess. Why is it so hard to just let me scroll through folders that are minimized? I don't need to see the first 10 pictures in every folder, just the cover pic I chose in the first place. And when I found the option to view folders, it a few clicks to get there. I can't even get that to be the default view. They changed something that worked well.
[Nexus 5 General] jelle2503:
Use Piktures as gallery it looks great. Cabinet beta as file explorer. I like material design.. But customisation is needed, so hope xposed comes soon. Really miss gravitybox. Quite happy with android 5.0 but just use a few apps and features of stock aosp anyway.
[Nexus 5 General] blinde:
Does that lock icon in lockscreen always have that halo or ring around it? At least in developer preview it didn't had that and I could swear that it's not there always.
[Nexus 5 General] jutezak:
Some things ugly... the touch animated circles and the overscroll circles are just ugly. Just as the sick green color of the toggles. Which seems taken from Windows 95.

Some thinsg are impractical, like face unlock. ok KK I would stare until it unlocked or would fail. Not I have to stare and swite to see if it has worked. No auto login when face is recognized and no auto fallback on the PIN/pattern screen. I would have expected the face unlock to be active while the PIN or pattern entry is displayed and the first one to activate would do the job.

The boot animation is very much like the one from Windows 7. Why oh why? No creativity?
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
The face lock works fine for me. The center icon at the bottom tells you when it recognizes your face. It will change from a profile pic looking icon to a lock icon, indicating that it recognized your face and you can unlock it without a pin, pattern, etc.
[Nexus 5 General] Dirk:
Loathe the new overscroll effect but love almost everything else.
[Nexus 5 General] Tony_YYZ:
Press the text under the toggle icon to go into the menu. Press the icon itself to toggle it on/off.
[Nexus 5 General] NOTilyass:
Lolli...lolli...lollipop... I was expecting a blazing fast experience but no... Pretty standard with some flashy new animation. Not the real change I was expecting...
[Nexus 5 General] wolfen69:
Pretty damn fast for me. Definitely faster than on KK. Btw, what were expecting from a phone OS? There's only so many changes that can be made on a small screen. What would your definition of "real change" be?

Anyway, I love it. The looks and speed are top notch.

I dont need to test it myself if there are plenty of videos of it on YouTube. Its the design which I dont like. This doesnt need extra testing.
[Nexus 5 General] NOTilyass:
Thought the app opening speed and multitasking would be much faster ?! Or maybe that's just a hardware limitation? Read/write speed of the flash memory?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthlawl:
So I've had the moto G (2014) for a month now and for some reason I can't detect the latest build version or the lollipop update. My sister has a slightly newer build but she didn't get lollipop either.

Thanks in advance peeps!
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweethruvers893:
Which model do you have? I don't think XT1068 has gotten the Lollipop OTA yet. If you're on XT1064, you can side-load the OTA via ADB.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthlawl:
I have the XT1063 actually, did it get it yet?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweethruvers893:
I just snooped the forums for a quick bit. Sadly Lollipop has not come to the XT1063 yet.

Just in case; I don't recommend you sideload the XT1064 OTA. There have been people complaining in the XT1064 OTA post that functionality was lost since they have a different model.

However, according to this post; Lollipop works. If you decide to use this method, be aware you are flashing a XT1064 OTA on a XT1063 phone. "I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND NOT TO FLASH STOCK LOLLIPOP ROM OF DIFFERENT MOTO G VARIANT. " -AD9295

I suggest you just wait it out; as painful as it may be.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthlawl:
Oh i wasnt planning to flash it anyway, I am too much of a phone noob that i fear i might brick the phone, I was just worried that it might be my device's fault.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneFore9:
I can't get mine to find the update either. XT1064, locked bootloader, completely stock on 21.11.17 in the U.S. Phone just says software is up to date.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smitharro:
Is it a retail, simlock free, device? Or did you buy it with a provider contract? In the last case you'll have to wait for your provider...
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthlawl:
Completely unlocked and bought off of Amazon, I'm actually using it outside of the US at the moment.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthlawl:
Same here man.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneFore9:
Purchased unlocked directly from Motorola. Using it on an AT&T MVNO.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smitharro:
Looked it up in the Amazon store: they're selling 2 variants: the US version and the international version. The US version should have the update by now. The International version has to wait.

What version do you have?

XT1063	Global GSM	Single SIM

XT1064	US/Canada GSM	Single SIM

XT1068	Global GSM	Dual-SIM

XT1069	GSM+GSM+DTV	Dual-SIM, Brazil model supporting DTV

As far as I know only the XT1064 has the official Lollipop update by now!

If you bought the "global" version, you probably have the XT1063...

Mine (I'm from Europe) is the XT1068. So i'll have to wait too...

Found this in the Illusion G+ community. I flashed it on Cloudy v1.2 to see if it would also work on 4.4 KitKat Roms. It does. Haven't tested on Lollipop. As always a nandroid is recommended.

So the lollipop release got you stressed out? How about xda, and the lollipop threads? Well, heres a place to come and take a few minutes to breathe, to relax, to just chill out. Then you can go back to the stress afterwards, after youve found your "center". IF youd like, you can discuss anything here, except anything to do with anything lollipop. If you have nothing to get off your chest, take a few minutes, turn on this video, and just chill out and veg. Enjoy :)
