I'm not saying that there are no bugs in Lollipop. I'm only saying that I suspect that not all of the issues people are seeing are bugs in Lollipop, but that some are probably issues with apps.

However, to address your comments directly... An app that affects performance of a device would also affect performance of other apps on that device, so yes, a 3rd party app COULD cause performance issues in all of those apps. Is that likely the cause? Probably not. However, adding in variables only clouds the issue. My point stands that before you can conclusively point your finger at an app included in the Lollipop factory image, you need to run it before adding other apps, rooting, etc.

Also, make sure that you're comparing issues with as few changes as possible. I've seen at least one person tell me that the camera is way slower now, only to find out that his camera is now in HDR+ mode, where it previously wasn't. That is a change that is detrimental to performance. Even if there is a real performance issue with the new camera app, something like that would make it difficult to track that real issue.

Yeah, it sounds like you had a bad flash then. I'm having no issues with Exchange. However, from previous issues I've had, I've learned that the first step is to delete the Exchange account entirely (on your device). Then, re-add it. This sometimes solves issues like this. If it doesn't, then something is probably wrong with the Exchange stack on your device, and you'll need to reflash a clean factory image.

While they did complicate the volume settings a bit, it comes with a lot more control on how you are notified and I appreciate that. It took me all of 10 minutes to google search how they work then another 10 minutes to set it all up. 20 minutes is not difficult.
[Nexus 5 General] DSF:
[MENTION=570488]jt3[/MENTION] you said that 3rd party apps may perform poorly and I've told you that stock Google apps that are Lollipop-ready perform not as good as they should. Again, take the Photos app which is pathetic in terms of performance, just compare to any other phone, heck even the one from Blackberry Z10 (BB OS 10) it's much much faster. And the app load times seems to be worse than on Kitkat (eg: Phone (dialer) app). And so on. All stock apps.
[Nexus 5 General] luctreebusch:
Is there a way to wake the screen when you get an incoming notification as is in case with the nexus 6? I would love such an option.
[Nexus 5 General] jt3:
Oh, don't get me wrong. I agree with you on all of this. My comment was for all those people who claim that their battery is dying in 6 hours, or whose devices keep crashing/rebooting, or whose device is so sluggish that it's taking minutes for operations to complete. Severe problems like those, that aren't being seen by everyone, virtually scream "3rd Party App." Now, they may not be, but looking at it from Google's point of view: If I see a small subset of people with such major issues, when most people aren't seeing them, I'm going to be focusing on what 3rd party app is causing it, not what's wrong with my O/S. It takes people showing that this stuff is happening BEFORE they've added any additional variables, for Google to really take notice. On the flip side, if it is an app, then this lets the word get out so that THAT developer can fix the issue. Everyone wins.

I just hate to see everyone jump on the "fact" that the issue is with a specific Google app/feature, and not even consider that the real problem could be elsewhere. Hell, I did it with Smart Lock. It's easy to do. However, if I (and others with similar issues, stemming from similar 3rd party apps) simply complained that Smart Lock doesn't work, the real issue would never get looked at, much less resolved.
[Nexus 5 General] astrodomine:
It seems strange that I can toggle settings from notifications area by swiping down even when there's a pin lock enabled.

Also strange that I'm unable to install an app using apk file, just won't let me click on install, although cancel is clickable...even when installing from amazon app store :/
[Nexus 5 General] :
Just to confirm the obvious - have you allowed installing 3rd party apps from the system settings?
[Nexus 5 General] astrodomine:
Oh yes, I confirmed that the check is still there after upgrade...

Also I remember being able to see the IP address by either clicking on WiFi connected to, or by going to phone status. But now it's only phone status. It won't tell even if selecting advanced setting on Wi-Fi and choosing static IP.

Some of the few things not likable in lollipop. And of course the excess animations everywhere...

I think it's mostly just the tech reviews raving on the upgrade.. :(
[Nexus 5 General] magik300:
OMG it's gorgeous. : D
[Nexus 5 General] SurferLTU:
Strange... Tried third party app "Touchdown"... And exchange email works perfectly... Gmail - no go :(

By the way did few clean installs (even formated sdcard) ...the same error...

http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2me1m8/serious_memory_leak_in_android_lollipop/

Huge memory leak.. I must restart my phone every 24h in order to work without slowdowns and reloads of home screen..
[Nexus 5 General] NotFromMountainView:
2 whole hours into Lollipop and... it's okay. (Mostly)

Lock screen notifications are nice but I need to find the way to select the handful of notifications that will actually be useful (Gmai, messages, maybe something more). I'm sure it's my lack of knowledge & the setting does exist...

Also not sure I'm ever going to get used to to the added swiping away of notifications to unlock. I had used Notify Me! with KK, but there I could just dismiss notifications as I saw 'em & have a nice pattern waiting when I went to unlock. (and it did the nice light up the screen for 10 seconds thing as well.)

Lollipop was kludgy at first, but after a reboot it seems smooth but not sure it's actually smoother than KK with ART was.

But stuff's missing!

At least I can't find it. Where do I select my equalizer app? This used to live in Settings > Sound > Sound Effects but no longer! Also, I've lost my annoying-to-most feedback-on-touch sound. I'm used to that gently annoying 'click' when I tap something & I want it back. (I may well be the only one, I know.)
[Nexus 5 General] julien.me:
I use DashNotifier and open up the widget to configure apps that will wake the phone's screen as they come in.

The only difference witrh KitKat is that you don't put the DashNotifier widget in the lockscreen anymore.
[Nexus 5 General] the_slasher:
no lag; no battery drain; smooth as butter;

[Nexus 5 General] soumian:
Anyone else having a slight delay and a change of background when opening notifications from lock screen? When I click on a notification I get a glimpse of the homescreen wallpaper and then the app animation starts and it opens, it even happens with Google Now notifications.
[Nexus 5 General] DSF:
Same, agressive app killing, homescreen reloads.. Fixed with a reboot till next time.

Please also star the issue here:

[Nexus 5 General] rohandayal:
I have the exact issue. Seems to be a bug in only a few Nexus 5's since it isn't there in my mom's phone. The phone starts lagging and becomes pretty slow after around 15 hours, have to reboot to get it working properly .I only get around 500mb free RAM now, used to have more than 1gb free earlier, is this due the ART by any chance? I really hope Google comes up with an update rectifying this soon. Plus as you can see, most of the apps keep restarting every 2 minutes.
[Nexus 5 General] tosin01:
I like it so far but not happy with the ios style lockscreen. So now i choose not to have my lockscreen notifications at all and even means no music controls? Also i preferred the kit kat way with the icons on the top left instead of the lockscreen why did they have to remove that? Also all my persistent notifications display on the lockscreen which is unneccesary. Am i doing something wrong?:(
[Nexus 5 General] Quickfire:
Are you using lux or any screen brightness app? Disable it for a while and you'll be able to install the apk. Then enable it again after you've installed.
[Nexus 5 General] gamer.11:
isn't that a developer preview tracker?(now deemed read only?)

and is this the same one only in the current issue tracker?

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79729
[Nexus 5 General] DSF:
Same here.. It takes longer if the apps isn't in memory.

Ups, you're right! Starred that too. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
No lag at all, no battery issues at all.

My only complaint is I can't stand the lockscreen music controls. The KitKat lock screen music controls were absolutely perfect and worked with every single player I use regardless of who made it. I listen to a ton of podcasts and it used to display the icon for the podcast and the play/pause/ff/rew icons were always consistent and easily accessible. Now it's a bizarre widget that depending on the app is either there of is cut in half making the controls useless. Even the Play Music controls are garbage. I thought that at LEAST Google would make their own app perform and look fantastic on their OS. Not so much.
[Nexus 5 General] Arcaziel:
I have no lags, no battery leak, no WiFi bug, everything is really nice !

I still miss Xposed a lot :(
[Nexus 5 General] kamild_:
Went back from Lollipop to Kitkat. This version of Android is still a little bit too young to work without any issues, hence is why I will stay with Kitkat until February or March.

Having my fingers crossed though!
[Nexus 5 General] georgios73:
Flashed factory image 5 days ago everything fine except for one small issue - no Gmail notifications. I tried everything to get them to work with no luck even did a factory reset
[Nexus 5 General] AZTX:
First Impressions

My Stock Nexus 5 received the OTA Android Lollipop update yesterday, and here are my first impressions.

Likes:

Overall Material Design UI

The built-in flash light (as many custom ROMs have)

The "Interruptions" settings

Snappy response and smooth animations

The pinning feature

The notifications at the top of the screen (for incomming calls and such)

Dislikes:

The white app drawer

The "two-step" lock screen (I have to swipe, then enter my pin)

The double swipe to get to quick settings and setting

The removal of options from the power off menu

Overall I like the feel of lollipop. For me, it is quick and smooth. I am not reporting on battery life yet as I want to give my phone a day or two of normal use. I am looking forward to see how the battery saver function works. As has been mentioned here earlier, one feature I would have liked to see in Smart Lock is the addition of "trusted" wifi networks. Though I can understand why that would be omitted. I've not decided how I feel about the new recent apps layout or the individual Chrome tabs in the recent apps.

I am still learning the features, so my thoughts and opinions may change as I work with my phone.
[Nexus 5 General] bubur_bewok:
Yes..!! I can play dinorun on chrome when im offline :D
[Nexus 5 General] NotFromMountainView:
This, this, this!

But it's even stupider if you choose to hide sensitive notifications! No Google, what I'm listening to on Stitcher - as I am actively listening! - is not sensitive! Being deemed sensitive means there are no controls whatsoever so that a simple pause now means a couple of swipes, and unlock a grab for the app & a tap on pause.... Urgh! On Kitkat I would choose to lock my phone because the lockscreen control was more efficient than going back to the app while listening.

A few other things are bugging me - most to do with the extra swipes to unlock -- which wouldn't be quite so awful if we could, at a granular level, control which notifications would display with what level of detail & have the ability to swipe them away (from lockscreen) once we've noted them without having to unlock or perform any action.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Smart Lock is now location aware with Play Services 6.5

I like where this is going.
[Nexus 5 General] Tidbits:
To those who claim nothing can ever go wrong and bugs don't exist or people over exaggerating. Here's a photo of one of the bugs I encountered. Also my notification priorities are broken. It vibrates regardless of my choice. Yes I tried flashing the factory image and I already did clean wipes prior to installing the first time around.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
I'm not sure what bug that screen shot is supposed to be showing?
[Nexus 5 General] Tidbits:
Look at the dock. There's nothing there but when I tap where things are supposed to be it opens like normal like the app drawer for example. Only a restart for me fixes the problem.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Oh yeah, how the hell did I not see that? :D
[Nexus 5 General] Tidbits:
You couldn't see it because it wasn't there [emoji14]
[Nexus 5 General] jbdan:
Just for giggles have you tried something like Nova or a different launcher (I'm assuming you're using the Google stock launcher)
[Nexus 5 General] jt3:
Do these problems still exist before rooting or installing any apps? If so, then that's a legitimate problem, and it's time to call Google. If this problem doesn't show up until you root or install apps, then it's likely a problem with the addon, and Google pretty much won't help you.
[Nexus 5 General] Tidbits:
Phone is completely stock yes. I even at one point tried not installing things for 2 days and it happened to me still.

I did do that and I intentionally went back to Googles one to show for this thread people do have problems and shouldn't be downplayed because some people drinking the Google-Aid
[Nexus 5 General] MrKaon:
What widget is that?
[Nexus 5 General] Tidbits:
Dashclock
[Nexus 5 General] jt3:
You're right. Problems such as this should not be downplayed, and (hopefully) nobody is claiming that Lollipop is bug free.

However, more often than not, especially after an O/S upgrade, problems tend to lie with 3rd party apps or addons, but they often manifest as O/S issues (sometimes in a way that seemingly has nothing to do with the problem app). The only way to positively identify the source of a problem is to remove all variables (Clean Flash/Factory Reset, and do NOT install anything). Then, if the problem doesn't appear, load things one at a time until it does. More than likely (but not necessarily), the problem is with the last thing you installed. At the very least, anything you HAVEN'T yet installed is ruled out. Then, reverse the order of the apps you DID install and repeat the process until you narrow it down to one app, or at least an interaction between a couple apps (which happens sometimes).

I'd never tell you that the problem can't be with the O/S, but unless you've done the above (which, in your case, it sounds like you have), you can't really tell me that it is, either.
[Nexus 5 General] MrKaon:
Looks like is working for me:
[Nexus 5 General] Tidbits:
Oh I already tried that. O factory reset before I did the OTA. Installed my apps had the problem. Factory reset and left it as is without even logging to Google services. So I decided to try the factory image. All said and done problem persisted. It happens to me at least once a day regardless clean or with 3rd party apps.

---------- Post added at 12:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

For giggles I even went as far as switching my Sim from T-Mobile to AT&T to see if that caused the bug. That bug bugs me the most. The notification vibrating bothers me, but I can live with it as it doesn't happen all the time.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

That's great for you :) It doesn't help me at all. I am 100% positive it isn't from Dashclock as it happens to me to me even when I have no apps installed or even logged into Google. Happens to me at least once a day. It feels like it isn't redrawing when the launcher redraws for whatever reason.
[Nexus 5 General] Stay Frosty:
Has anyone encountered a bug where the flashlight switches off out of nowhere and stops working until a reboot? When this happens, the camera app also stops working with some message saying the camera isn't available or something. Pretty huge bug IMO. Happened to me twice already when using the flashlight.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Could be a form of overheat protection for the flash LED?
[Nexus 5 General] pistl_pete:
Overall I am happy with Lollipop, it is super quick and looks great. I think the lockscreen is a tremendous step forward, despite still lagging behind HTC's sense in functionality. The new quick settings are quite useful as are several of the other new features but alas nothing is perfect. I wish everything wasn't so white. I like the material design but holo wasn't ugly by any stretch in my opinion. A material dark option for everything not just the keyboard would have been welcomed. Project Volta is great in theory and the battery saver mode is something that should have been implemented sooner, but a change to the android code has resulted in worse battery life for myself because I am no longer able to use a third party app to automatically toggle my mobile data on/off after locking the screen. I think Lollipop takes a few big steps forward in some regards but not so much in other areas.
[Nexus 5 General] Edge330:
Does anybody know why Android OS and google play services drain so much battery?

I turned off almost all sync options except contacts maybe.

Also location is turned off..
[Nexus 5 General] MrKaon:
Yes it happened to me:

I went to stock recovery and done a wipe catch it took 15 minutes to finish so far it didn't happen any more.
[Nexus 5 General] thakrew317:
OK so I miss the old battery center as well, is there an app or way that reads battery life like 4.4 did or a section in the battery center that we can click on that tells us how long the phone has been on
[Nexus 5 General] spicydicy:
Just going through my unread posts, and I have to reply to you here. Try Quickpic.
[Nexus 5 General] Mindspin_311:
OK, my wife was able to hide the actual text of a text message from being shown on the lockscreen, but I dont have that option. Is there some other setting that needs to be enabled for this option to be present?
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
Just tap "screen", the same way it worked on KK.
[Nexus 5 General] astrodomine:
Yes, you were right, disabled it and got through.. Thanks a lot, sure saved me from a wipe..

What about settings toggle in notifications area? Is it same for everyone that it can be used while screen is locked!! Isn't that a security risk. Anyone can pick my phone put it in airplane mode and there it goes.!! ?
[Nexus 5 General] the_rebel:
Good:

- Material design and smooth animations

Bad:

- Battery Life

- Battery Menu

- Crappy Battery Life

- No control over quick settings (I can think of better things than Cast Screen there)

- Battery (with almost no) Life

- EVERY DAMN GOOGLE APP crammed into the factory image. WHY?

- Did I mention the 'Battery Life'? an oxymoron now...
[Nexus 5 General] jcsww:
My biggest complaint is the white backgrounds on most things. I don't like this and can't wait for a dark theme to come out. Battery life for seems to be worse also but not by a lot.
[Nexus 5 General] Cirkustanz:
Strange...I installed from the factory image that I downloaded directly from google...and I have the "email" app. I have never USED the email app so I don't really care. I don't even have the option of uninstalling it if I wanted to, just disabling it. (It's probably a system app)

I just find it odd how it was removed from your image and is present in mine.
[Nexus 5 General] jt3:
The icon is there, but if you tap on it, it simply shows a screen that basically says "Use Gmail Now!" The app itself is gone.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Considering that Google provides the entire OS for free, can you blame them for stuffing their own apps down your throat just like Apple does in iOS and Microsoft in WP? Just root and remove the Google apps you don't want to use.
[Nexus 5 General] Cirkustanz:
Wow...that is just plain rude! I want my 6.65 mb back! Sure, I can remove it...(and I obviously don't care) but let's say that app was huge, like 300 megs or something...that would just be one more app I'd have to remember to reload if I wanted to lazily apply an OTA update in the future instead of doing another fresh install.

:P
[Nexus 5 General] xdatastic:
This will enable the percentage in the battery icon (even when full, unlike kitkat). Reboot after running.

adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:status_bar_show_battery_percent --bind value:i:1
[Nexus 5 General] DummyPLUG:
Beside some of you already post, I also hate the goolge camera app since release

Why the Auto focus success/fail indication got remove, although the auto focus not always get it right, but at least the old camera app let me know when it fail to focus.
[Nexus 5 General] wfd:
Battery status always show me WIFI is on, even when it actually off. Always search networks is turned off.
[Nexus 5 General] DummyPLUG:
Also can try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kroegerama.android4batpercent

it don't need root, and can be uninstall after you enable it
[Nexus 5 General] fiffan86:
You aren't the only one (not me personally) I saw a thread created about it.
[Nexus 5 General] the_rebel:
Not the best reason my man - and they created Play Store too where all of them are available.

Anyway, we hate included bloat from mobile service providers too, so its only fair that google gets the flak when they do the same.
[Nexus 5 General] lasha117:
camera bug is not fixed.....
[Nexus 5 General] snappycg1996:
I feel as if though Lollipop was made for the Nexus 6 only or something...

First of all, Lollipop feels "unpolished". It lags. A lot of people say how smooth it is, and it isn't. There is noticable lag in a lot of areas at times, especially in the calender app. For those who sat it's smooth, then you must be really lucky. I flashed the image to my phone and started new. Still, lag.

Second, the UI sounds. Not only do they seem too low, apparently the Nexus 5 did not get all the updated sounds.

Third, multitasking. Call me dumb, but the cards just feel way too close together. And the last opened app feels way too near the bottom, and even though you can change it, the tabs grouped into recents is just terrible im my opinion.

4th, sometimes my actions don't seem to register. Maybe it's me.

5th, no encryption by default, and no face unlock. Okay, encryption I could care less about, but no face unlock?? What happened to it? Smart face unlock, what happened to it? And I've heard smart unlock half of the time don't even work.

And lastly, the battery is completely attrocious. I have airplane mode activated, all day, and just use WiFi and can get a little over 2 hours SOT thus far, maybe 3 if I waited through battery saver to 1%. Also the phone still gets hot randomly. What happened to Volta? I wouldn't be as hard on it if it wasn't for Volta. It's the new project.

It isn't just me with these issues either... Many are having these problems. There are others I'm sure, but meh. I'm not complaining, just voicing my thoughts and want to hear others.

OH, and the cherry on top of this sunday? Before I posted this, I was on XDA on Chrome and listening to Google Play Music and my phone completely crashed and rebooted. Again, I've heard about reboots already from people.

Reposted from my thread.
[Nexus 5 General] the_rebel:
No lags here and I don't care about face unlock personally, but other than that.. I'm completely with you on your views.

And good that you mentioned the sounds being low - I mean do they want us to hold the phone to our ears even when NOT on a call??
[Nexus 5 General] Smexhy:
I dont like lollipop because it is slower than kitkat. Besides, it glitches alot if the transition's animation speed is faster than 1x.
