It is smooth for the most part but there is still noticable slowdowns at times. I increased my UI volume along with headphone like how I did on KitKat. Except on KitKat I didn't increase UI volume.

I cannot believe how terrible the battery is...
[Nexus 5 General] newb3e:

hm

reading this im not sure if i have flashed correct img :). my phone works great. animations are super smooth, music on earphones sounds a lot better, all apps installed feel faster than on kit kat. display colors are more live and much better, what goes for letter sharpness, too. overall scrolling is smoother. feels like fps is higher. for now i have feeling battery is the same. brightness finally works smooth.

i dont like battery stats at all. when there are no notifications, why we have to double swipe to get to the toggles? how to group photos into folders? ...i know theres an app for this, but why not native...

*2g/3g toggle would be nice:)
[Nexus 5 General] rolldroids:
I don't like the new app drawer. On my stock N4 I have the apps on black background and a really nice zoom effect. On my N9 the app drawer looks like iPad :(

i love lollipop, looks great, performs great. but that battery leak...i don't think google even tried fixing it. we'll have to wait for update

Anyone has problems with camera?

My camera will not start from lock screen, if pattern is set to unlock the screen. It tries to start, it displays camera's icon at the middle of the screen but it never advances from there. If I wait, screen turns off, then, when I press unlock button, it shows lock screen.

Camera does work from lock screen with swipe set to unlock.

I've read about this. Is he planning to release a fully functional app. It seems it's only experimental. All those features are exactly what I want. :(
[Nexus 5 General] pfmiller:
Haven't tried the lock screen audio controls, I take it?
[Nexus 5 General] bunnycool:
works for me..stock 5.0 flashed
[Nexus 5 General] entrik:
i like material design of lollipop but what i dislike is lockscreen settings ( those notifications and phone icon in left bottom corner!!) google can finaly make some lockscreen settings for user edit by his will. i loved lockscreen in kitkat with using DashClock widget. And mobile data togle .. pff horrible!!
[Nexus 5 General] geemaan:
I don't have that option either. I've read that it appears once you enable PIN lock screen or some other form of locking. I didn't verify this 'cause I don't want to have my phone locked.
[Nexus 5 General] Static-xy:
How did you install android 5.0? Fresh install or just update with all apps left untouched?

I did my with just an update, I did not have to re install anything. I wonder is that the problem why my camera is not working from lock screen .
[Nexus 5 General] jfim88:
A few moments ago i had the bug that happens when pressing back button, another app appears... I have to press home to exit.
[Nexus 5 General] mokee92:
I use PowerAmp. I've disabled the actual PowerAmp lockscreen and there is a small widget that appears on the main lockscreen. Although I wish that widget was a bit bigger but it works fine. What trouble did you have with it?
[Nexus 5 General] TheIgster:
Yup. I've had this as well. Happened in Kit Kat for me though too. Especially with Chrome in the background. It would always pull up Chrome. Now it just seems to pick a random app, not even one that was running in memory already.
[Nexus 5 General] jfim88:
Yes just same here... I don't know how google didn't fix this since the release of kk. It's incredible...
[Nexus 5 General] borchgrevink:
Is it possible to show only contacts with phone number? I have no use for the hundreds of contacts I have mailed once when I want to scroll list and call a person.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
i had this annoying bug on kitkat, but i haven't seen it (yet) on lollipop. But on lollipop i have the other bug, where random apps appear in recents after i clear them all.

Android still needs a lot of polishing, mainly because of Google's 1 step forward, 2 steps back policy.
[Nexus 5 General] dispatch:
For me, a non-g+ user, Android 5.0 is basically a downgrade in many ways. Is material design code for get more people into g+?

- I upgraded to 5.0, now I have no built-in way to view my pictures. Not the end of the world, and I found QuickPic which is great, but a nice little slap in the face from google (who continues to claim they're not forcing people into their social network).

- In hangouts I can no longer send pictures (again, another g+ issue). Used to be able to do this in 4.4 (with un-updated hangouts). Fine, I've disabled it now and won't be coming back. TextSecure for SMS/MMS over Messaging as well.

- I'm not a fan of the corp email > gmail app. Using Nine, which is excellent, but not happy I have to resort to paying for something that's been built in.

- Many of the bugs I've dealt with throughout Androids growth have still not been fixed. Most recently annoying me is the "my phone is on the charger (nexus orb) and daydreaming. 85% of the time if I touch the display, instead of waking up and going to my lockscreen it simply turns off." Again, not the end of the world but a maddeningly stupid problem.

- Recent apps is, for me, another downgrade. Very unreadable compared to the 4.4 version.

- Battery life is not improved. I guess I should be thankful it isn't a lot worse.

- I do like the lockscreen notifications, and the animations are nice, especially on .5x

In short, it feels like more and more vendor lock-in with Android 5.0, something I've always thought of as an Apple thing. AOSP and CM just aren't bug-free enough (for me) so I deal with Google instead, but that train is looking increasingly unpalatable.

Certainly I don't see this as the big Android milestone or release that the media hyped it to be.

shortcut to "app info" is gone, that sucks ,also gallery is gone .. wtf
[Nexus 5 General] :
ye the shortcut is gone, Now we need to go to settings and apps for info.

And instead of gallery there is "Photos".
[Nexus 5 General] cirian75:
anyone else think 5.0 notifiations are crap

on kitkat, when playing with the phone, a notification would come in.

I'd see the title of the email an decide if it could wait or needed to be looked at

all I get in 5.0 is the icon, I need to drag down the bar to see what it is

totally annoying.

anyone else think the same ?
[Nexus 5 General] towelboy:
My phone would randomly reboot, it happens often when turning on camera or snapchat

Why google play services drain so much battery on lollipop?
[Nexus 5 General] cirian75:
same here, I'll prob roll back to and "upgrade" to 4.4..4 this weekend.
[Nexus 5 General] pfmiller:
Do you have the option set to hide personal data from your lock screen? You only get fully usable controls with that disabled. With it enabled this is what you get for some apps. Google Play Music is a little better, you at least have the pause and next button, but there is no back button still.

If you disable lock screen notifications entirely forget about it, you don't get any play controls.
[Nexus 5 General] CatThief:
Wow this is a nice start. Pictures are captured in a split second. Good find. Thank you for sharing!
[Nexus 5 General] cirian75:
14 hours with 5.0

sorry its not as good as kitkit, it feels rough and clunky and half finished.
[Nexus 5 General] CatThief:
Nova Launcher still has it.
[Nexus 5 General] luckana:
so many people whining about what they didn't like about lollipop.. well, downgrade if you wish, it's simple as that
[Nexus 5 General] DennizzNL:
Anybody getting heads up notification in screen from whatsapp when you are for example checking Facebook?
[Nexus 5 General] cirian75:
give us back that little banner preview of notifications that kitkat had and I'll be happy.
[Nexus 5 General] unroot_:
the calendar ist killing me:

- only 5 days on that screen, really? what was wrong with seeing a week?

- I can't "zoom out" anymore to see the whole day

- The "month"-view is a joke. It used to be great to check if you were "free" on a certain day

Recent Apps was better in KK

For Mail App, i think I'm gonna install the AOSP-Mail and disable Gmail

For some reason I am not allowed to send pictures over hangouts anymore unless I sign up to g+.

Just... Why? even iPhones "may" do that oO

Battery life didn't really improve either. Project Volta my A*%

_________

I also have some issues with Tasker. I hope to figure this out, though

What i do miss the most is Xposed. I can't use half of the apps i had on KK since they're all hungry for permissions and my data. I seriously want AppOps and Xprivacy back.

Gravitybox is gone, too =/
[Nexus 5 General] cirian75:
found out what its called, its the status bar notification ticker

dumb move of google to remove it.

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

you wont, they've killed the notification ticker.
[Nexus 5 General] adolfo778:
Am I the only one that still seems to be getting a memory leak? Seems every ROM I've used slows down drastically after time and the launcher is always resrarting. Even on the official release
[Nexus 5 General] DennizzNL:
I actually meant this when I said " WhatsApp heads up notification "

When the screen is on
[Nexus 5 General] marquimsp:
It's incredibly smooth (if not rooted, I tested and it does make a difference) and animations are beautiful. But battery life isn't enough for me, sound toggle options are dreadful, customization is scarce, can't use xposed... So I went back to KK while I wait for a nice custom 5.0.

My humble opinion
[Nexus 5 General] donnyp1:
I we nt back to a kk factory image to get ota the normal way. I let it run, then did a factory reset and set up from scratch. Battery life 2.5-3.5 sot totally stock is good enough for me. Animations are smooth. ROM is very fast. I then rooted and installed twrp with wugs. Made a backup so I have one and flashed hells kernel 6.3. Increases battery life by about 30 minutes sot. I'm very content and refuse to go back to kk.my phone has never been this fast.
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
The thread is called "Your thoughts on Android 5.0"... are people not allowed to share those thoughts if they are negative?
[Nexus 5 General] Tidbits:
They are probably just as bad if not worse than the iPhone fanboys they make fun of. Reminds of often on Richard Yarrell(sp?).
[Nexus 5 General] thor1k:
haha yeah I definitely won't be updating to 5.0.
[Nexus 5 General] Blinkenn:
Got the OTA today and updated. Had a few annoyances.

Broke the old mms.apk I was using so I had to manually download Messenger, which doesnt save last conversation when you close it.

Integrated gmail and old mail into one app, disabled that waiting on an email.apk w/o gmail.

Have to swipe to get to unlock, which by now my muscle memory is so used to the old way.

Of course lock screen widgets gone, I miss Dashclock and weather on my lockscreen w/o having to gesture for something.

Notifications for most non-google apps either dont work or get hidden fast.

Google Now / Search seems to stop working if you hit more too much

Android System and other weird things show up in recent apps sometimes.

I understand apps needing updating, but the email and unlock changes are top of my list.
[Nexus 5 General] MrKaon:
I'm loving it, great update.
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
Of course they can be negative.

But there does seem to be a trend wherein someone has a bad experience and deems the entire thing "total junk" or something similar. That or because they're having an issue, it must exist for "the majority" of users. And if you claim it doesn't do that for you, well then you're accused of drinking the Kool-aid or an apologist.

The only anecdotal evidence I tend to see is that the people who ROM swap, hack and customize the most always seem to have most of the issues with functionality and bugs. I know, I know, everyone said they did a clean wipe. But after a while, I just wonder if any little stray things hang around and throw sand in the gears. I used to flash like crazy and had issues, but the last 2 Nexus phones I stayed stock. And in neither case did I experience the plethora of issues that get reported here.

Just a thought. Carry on.
[Nexus 5 General] Tidbits:
Much like most of the people claiming everything is all peachy and Google can never do anything wrong? Seriously... Majority of the time when someone says such and such about a bug someone always trolls and flaunt that fanboy card.

Just a thought... Carry on...
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
Well I didn't claim any of that.

But go ahead and categorize me as you wish.
[Nexus 5 General] Tidbits:
You did claim it. Simply by telling someone to flash back because of their displeasure certain aspects of 5.0.

Also that because someone says their displeasure they say it's total junk etc. What do you expect? Especially when people troll them and the thing you just said struck a nerve.

I have shown screenshots of the bug I have. I have wiped multiple times. I have flashed the Factory Image. I have not installed anything. I also tried without even logging into Google. I have mentioned my dislikes and likes about the new OS especially the bugs I dislike. I am glad the OS works for you, but so far it isn't working 100% for me.
[Nexus 5 General] mokee92:
Didn't play with the lock-screen that much before. I can confirm your points. The lock-screen isn't complete. I amend my statement. :(

But also, since it's your own personal device, why would you set it as to show no notifications? :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
Calm down.
[Nexus 5 General] pfmiller:
Oh no, I don't have mine set to no notifications, but it is a supported option and being able to use music controls certainly shouldn't be tied to the notification settings.

I really don't like the idea of having the content of messages accessible to anyone, so having the full notifications is not a good workaround for me.

I really hope this is something that will be improved on soon, since this is really a deal breaker for me. Lollipop has plenty of other annoyance too, but most of the others I think I could live with.
[Nexus 5 General] MrObvious:
Set a pattern lock. I know not the best work around.
[Nexus 5 General] mokee92:
Yeah, I agree with you. I guess we just got to make the best of it. Can't really do anything about it, I guess. I can't stand the fact that the camera software is so basic. We need more options. I really wish the L Camera would soon be out of the experimental stage and be released with all those features in the Play Store. It would be my default camera app.
[Nexus 5 General] NJGSII:
Honestly, I'm loving every second of 5.0. Personally, I haven't experienced any of the quirks that have been experienced by some in this thread, but that's not to say none exist. Like KitKat, Lollipop will get better over time. Cant wait til it comes to my One M8 officially on Friday. The look of stock 5.0 has really made me fall in love with the look of stock android all over again.
[Nexus 5 General] dudaka:
So far so good, no lag, no errors, no force closes.

I cannot evaluate battery yet, because I received update yesterday.
[Nexus 5 General] creepyNoodle:
My experiences with 5.0 are mainly positive. Only thing that has got me alarmed is the CPU batterydrain on a few apps (BaconReader drained 49%, while I never opened the app during that time).

Other culprit being SoundHound. To be clear, I had widgets of both the apps on homescreen.

I hope this will be fixed when the apps are updated.
[Nexus 5 General] Unknownkj:
Maybe somewhat due to the animations I find 5.0 a little sluggish. Lollipop is too pretty for me. Maybe it's just me.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Face unlock is now part of smart lock, and actually works really well.
[Nexus 5 General] gsmyth:
Ah just found it, suppose it makes sense to put it there.
[Nexus 5 General] :
There is a reason the thread is called "Your thoughts on Android 5.0", not "Your praises for Android 5.0".
[Nexus 5 General] lonestrider:
I sideload the OTA update about last week.

I like the new UI, I love the animations, new status bar, lock screen. Everything is really good. Just one thing, the camera UI should've been updated too.

Face Unlock feels amazing but doesn't perfectly work. The smart lock trusted device, I tested with a tablet but seems like it doesn't work very well.

Overall I like the updates except the battery life. I'm not sure what project volta is. I heard that it should press the battery use of every app. But I don't feel the good effect. Usually I got 20 hours of battery life when it's still on KitKat. Now with similar usage, I only get about 12 hours. Also I don't like the new battery stats UI. It doesn't show exactly how long the battery life is. Why...?

I hope battery life will improve in the next few days. Or hopefully with an update.
[Nexus 5 General] Mehholoz:
I'm loving it but notifications can't seem to wake my screen. Is it normal? My legs are pretty insensitive to the phone buzz. :)

Also I'm trying to find a way to use something like a tap to wake option, if anyone knows (I'm running franco Kernel 3.4)
[Nexus 5 General] DigitalUnderground:
There is a bug with recents. When you swipe away your recents, and reopen them, there will be something there... Usually the clock app...
[Nexus 5 General] aspico:
-i have no option for blocking sensitive notifications on my lockscreen, even if i set pattern,pin or password

-when i pull down the notification bar from the homescreen and tap the home button it stays marked

-i cannot choose NONE lockscreen security

-power toggles dont toggle mobile network

-when i pin power toggles so they are allway at the top, they are showing on lockscreen ( i hate that)

-battery drain

-cannot change toggles in notification panel this sucks

-heads up notifications not showing notifications (it shows only when somebody calls me) , had to install heads up from google play
[Nexus 5 General] DigitalUnderground:
After you select pin... You enter it... You confirm your pin... that should be what appears
[Nexus 5 General] aspico:
i have done that and it shows same as your picture, but later under lockscreen notifications i still have just 2 options
[Nexus 5 General] PJcastaldo:
This release had been great. I have not had many old the issues others see, like I get great battery life.

However the crazy amount of lag present when casting to my chrome cast is insane. and I don't mean lag casting to the TV, I mean horrible lag on the device it's self.. It's really bad.

For example I was casting YouTube and whenever the screen would flip the phone would freeze for a half second and the video with stop and then begin to play again this is an issue I never seen on KitKat.
[Nexus 5 General] 33t:
absolutely zero issues.

i performed a clean fastboot install of the factory image.

smooth as butter.

battery is great.
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
Do you mean when you are casting (Mirroring) the entire screen of your phone or just sending a video to chromecast?
[Nexus 5 General] kweso:
my points overlap with some of yours:

first of all: an EXTRA swipe to get to the lockscreenpattern. that is really annoying. i'd rather have just notification-icons in the statusbar and have the pattern "instant-on".

material-design is really nice, but sometimes comes at the price of ipi (info per inch). which is mostly a good thing. but only mostly. the new calendar definately needs redesign, especially the 5-day-view.

and then i hope, xposed is going to run on 5.0! and gravitybox with it. i miss lockscreen-wallpaper, expanded volume-controls (rington, media, alarms all at once), custom quicksettings and increasing ringtones.

i'll give lollipop until saturday, but i think after that i'll go back to kk /w xposed. and wait for something to happen to lollipop. or do you think the new security-features are more important than my little workflow-gimmicks?

thx,

kws
[Nexus 5 General] kitecarl:
Don't think I'm crazy here, but the button on my Bose earbuds is not working with stock Lollipop. I used to use it for pausing, advancing to the next track, etc. Anyone else having problems with headphones post update?
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Hey edge try one thing: Go to your settings > Storage > cached data and clear it. Then reboot your phone. You won't lose any personal data and that should help with the unusual Play services drain.

My experience with 5.0 has been great. The new visual style is impressive, but most surprising is how much smoother and faster still the phone feels. This might be in part because I was using stock Dalvik and am now on ART, which has regrettably broken compatibility with a few abandoned APKs as I had expected. Dungeon Defenders and Bard's Tale from the Humble Store may never work again.

Heads up notifications are one of my favorite new features along with the multitasking menu. I get too many emails to want to see a heads up for each one personally but they should give the option to those who do. Now I don't mind keeping all my apps floating around in the multi tasking menu, it's easier to pick between multiple windows and I've noticed their RAM usage being managed more effectively.

Battery has improved for me using auto syncs, though otherwise fairly similar over all. I'm glad Google adjusted the "hidden feature" battery number in the status bar to be seen at all times though, the stats are also considerably more useful. First full charge with syncs on but locations and google now off. I plan to test drain using those as well. Brightness was mostly 40%.

[Nexus 5 General] jfim88:
I love Lollipop also, but i can't understand how Google with two previews can release a final version of Android with bugs like the multitask one, or no silent mode etc...
[Nexus 5 General] beanboy89:
Installed a few hours ago. Everything is running smoothly thus far. One minor annoyance (more related to Lollipop in general) is I have a lock screen PIN setup. With 4.4, when initially waking the phone up, it went right to the screen where I could enter my PIN and unlock the phone. Now with 5.0, when waking up the phone, there's the notifications screen, then I have to slide up to unlock and enter my PIN. Anyway I can just wake up the phone and have it go directly to the PIN unlock screen?
