I haven't had any memory leakage issues I can't handle but I still find lollipop unusable. The biggest issue is with NDK created apps file buffering when using fwrite.

But the again, what do I know compared to the thousands of people complaining about memleaks ;)

I expect most of the real culprits will eventually surface and we might even get them fixed :)
[Nexus 5 General] watzon:
I absolutely love the redesign. It is actually about 30% of the reason I decided to drop my iPhone (not literally of course) and pick up a Nexus 5. Obviously there are still some glaring bugs, and more so since I'm using the Unofficial CM 12 build by @The Candy Shop. I love the UI change, animations, speed, and overall usability that comes with Lollipop.
[Nexus 5 General] droidbrady:
Just curious.... Did you update by way of OTA or flash the factory image? If you flashed the factory image, did you use the flash-all script or flash each component separately?

I flashed the factory image, each component separately and haven't had any issues. No memory leaks, battery drain, nothing. I get about 1-2 hours more battery life on lollipop on average.

I do have encryption enabled. I'm rooted but otherwise completely stock.
[Nexus 5 General] borgsta:
I flashed the factory image and flashed each component separately. I've actually done it twice, the 2nd time after a complete factory reset of the phone.

Still see system RAM usage bump up to 1GB and the phone become almost unusable.
[Nexus 5 General] Niflheimer:
That's what I did as well and I experience NO issues whatsoever. But I don't have any widgets set either which might contribute.

Curent memory usage at 90 h after reboot is 314 mb
[Nexus 5 General] Gatz:
Any apps you have installed? You're probably not using an empty phone just to test the memory.

Did you let the phone restore your backup? That might also bring along the cause of the problem after every factory reset.
[Nexus 5 General] borgsta:
yeah obviously have plenty of apps installed. Did a clean install for the 2nd one, no restoring by Google..

Didnt have any issues running ART on 4.4 with the same apps though so I can't see apps being the issue.
[Nexus 5 General] MrObvious:
Maybe it is causing the kernel grief not being ART compatible 100%. Idk.
[Nexus 5 General] borgsta:
yeah who knows. I'm just a user who installs ROMs made by the great devs at this place. Certainly not someone that can deep dive into the issue.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
Nexus 4 and Nexus 6 5.0.1 factory images are up. Hopefully we'll get it today too. I'm ready to forgive Google for the buggy 5.0 that some of us faced.
[Nexus 5 General] @home:
What about the Nexus 5, it's there a factory image 5.0.1 up for that
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
Not yet, but let's keep our fingers crossed.
[Nexus 5 General] pcphobic:
Android 5.0.1 battery life seems to have improved.

Below is the result of my overnight battery drain test for N5X release 7.0 (Android 5.0.1)

My setup

ROM: N5X rel.7.0 (Android 5.0.1)

Kernel : Code Blue r718

Mobile Data : Enabled

Wifi : Disabled

Gps : Ebabled

Bluetooth & NFC : Disabled

Data Sync : Enabled

Result

After 8 hours of idle, it only drained 4%.

I am glad that Android 5.0.1 battery life has improved over Android 5.0
[Nexus 5 General] snappycg1996:
Completely stock, flashed ElementalX tonight hoping for a battery miracle. I flashed the factory with flash-all, after backing up my SD card to my laptop.
[Nexus 5 General] borgsta:
Why are you talking about a custom ROM and kernel here?
[Nexus 5 General] borgsta:
I think the fact that 5.0.1 still isn't released for N5 speaks volumes
[Nexus 5 General] PotatoEngine4:
I'm getting an error when ever try to take a screenshot :/
[Nexus 5 General] gamer.11:
True that, one might think having the Dev preview on our devices first might have made it much more bug free and much more easier to develop for, but in the end I think it's not much of a deal breaker as long as Google does give (One last chance google, I can't wait no more) a bug free/decent working platform.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
Unfortunately, by purchasing a nexus you have committed to being a beta tester for Google. That's the sour truth i discovered after being with the nexus line for so long. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] 350Rocket:
So your saying that other android phones are completely bug free and never have issues with updates? My sisters experience with galaxy s3 says much differently.
[Nexus 5 General] TheIgster:
I'm trying to figure out how the N4 has 5.0.1 released already but not the N5. That makes no sense.
[Nexus 5 General] ixon2001:
It will be more to do with a certain bug or bugs on the Nexus 5, that don't effect both the Nexus 4 & 6 hence why will still waiting, I don't care if it comes out today or next week just as long as it fixes the main problems and doesn't create new ones.
[Nexus 5 General] borgsta:
Exactly what I'm thinking too. In a way I'm relieved that it hasn't released for N5 yet as it hopefully means they are doing proper testing.
[Nexus 5 General] gamer.11:
True but the fact that the world is kinda changing towards bleeding edge software instead of cutting edge ones I will give leeway for the nexus lines, after all no other device gets so much support after sales(software wise, and now moto is giving google a run for it's money) I do like beta testing but that is what is it, its BETA not ALPHA, the phones should work as it had previously worked in terms of old features(battery, app compatibility etc) and can be buggy in fields like the new features(which ironically is the battery and new apps) so it's kinda a mixed world when it comes to the latest and greatest, some like X others like Y but the things important to both parties the core OS experience should have been a bit more better.

Touchwiz? That's the answer to all your issues.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
Ya i totally agree with you. Maybe i've entered a phase in my life where i want everything to just work. I mean i realize that every piece of software has it's bugs, but just constant waiting for certain fixes becomes tiring with time, or i'm just less tolerable than before :rolleyes:

On a side note, i like when someone replies to a post of mine starting with a "So you're saying..." then totally misses the point. (Hint: first post on this page)
[Nexus 5 General] 350Rocket:
You're right, I did miss your point. It sounds like you're saying nexus phones have more bugs than the competition. Is that it?
[Nexus 5 General] roustabout:
I'm not as annoyed by the battery life as I am by the spontaneous reboots. I'm pretty much ready to give up. I'm going to give Cataclysm a go but if the phone continues being hosealicious, I'll go back to my last good 4.x backup.
[Nexus 5 General] Ahimsa310:
Officially went back to 4.4.4... The battery was just too bad. I'll miss the material design... But most apps have it so it won't be too different
[Nexus 5 General] mezo91:
It sucks
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
5.0.1 factory images should be out by now ..
[Nexus 5 General] b1337:
LOL!!
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
For nexus 5 ..

Did i miss something ?
[Nexus 5 General] b1337:
Android 7.0 should be out by now..
[Nexus 5 General] kalealex:
Do you use Swiftkey with cloud on? Because I had that and it would always slow down when texting on hangouts. Perhaps try disabling that feature, worked for me.
[Nexus 5 General] BRiANj64:
It's a shame really that Nexus 5 lacks behind on everything. Even the Nexus 4 has 5.0.1

Everything sucks on Lollipop at the moment. Issues in AOSP are stacking up. This might just be the worst Android release ever.

I did build a CM12 yesterday and it seems better than everything else here on XDA at the moment
[Nexus 5 General] #sharath:
According to Sprint the update (5.0.1) will be released today http://support.sprint.com/support/a...=Find and update the software version on your
[Nexus 5 General] j'vai:
like, but was expecting more, seems the nexus 5 got a half baked update, compared to the nexus 6 -

what I like;

the battery life's no better nor worse than kit kat, though I can say I've yet to see this thing get close a dying battery by day's end.. I un-installed battery widget & now use the default battery monitor..

same with the flashlight toggle, love it, I un-installed the 3rd party flashlight..

the gmail replacement of the stock email app for corporate mail is wonders great, I'm seeing all the complaints, but just months before the switch, I had issues with sending email, but not receiving from the stock email app, now it's finally working both ways, with calendar appointments / notifications, & (& replies that were broke in stock).. when I get an email from the corporate account & open it, I'm only in that corporate account with it's own emails, & my personal gmail in it's own..

love that lollipop introduced sim hot swapping for the nexus 5; remember when we had to always reboot it from/ to a cdma sim from / to a gsm sim? no more, just swap a sprint sim for a gsm one, you'll lose network connectivity for a spell, then regain the current connection from the provided sim (half minute transition at most) .. love this.. I think the nexus 5 defaults to global in network settings for this to work.. I left it as so..

what I didn't like;

we never got the new camera 2 api that walked the staged in the I/o, I don't even know with the nexus 6 got it even, @ best just a 3rd party cam install that shot at frames per second no faster than the current camera api.. :/

the plusses outweigh the minuses.. for me
[Nexus 5 General] Quickfire:
The new heads up notification can be a real pain in the ass.

1. Google doesn't allow the user to determine which app uses heads up notifications. Its all up to the app developer. For example, the new WhatsApp uses heads up even though I don't want it for privacy reasons. But there's no option for me to turn it off.

2. Heads up notifications stay on top of the screen for a few seconds, and if you want to dismiss it but still retain the notification on the status bar, well tough luck there's no way to do that. One swipe up or sideways and its gone from the notifications completely. I remember iOS did it much better by allowing you to swipe away while still retaining the notification in the status bar. Especially useful when you see a sensitive message come in.
[Nexus 5 General] xdatastic:
I read that dismissing (but retaining the notification) by swiping up has been submitted as a feature request internally by googlers. Hopefully we will see it in next release.
[Nexus 5 General] Quickfire:
Actually I've seen that already implemented by the Textra app. So apps probably have a way to do it, but I haven't seen it being used anywhere else.
[Nexus 5 General] pfmiller:
That won't fix the main problem which is that these popups are super annoying to begin with. The proper fix would be to return the matinee text for low priority notifications and keep the popup only for calls and alarms, the only cases where it actually improves over what we had before.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Yes, we got Camera2, just the stock app doesn't use it.
[Nexus 5 General] borchgrevink:
Which do?
[Nexus 5 General] #sharath:
https://github.com/PkmX/lcamera, also Camera FV-5
[Nexus 5 General] borchgrevink:
What exactly is new in camera2?
[Nexus 5 General] #sharath:
RAW image capture. Normally camera gets the data from the sensor, then the algorithm works and it is converted to jpeg which is a compressed format. The algorithm wont always output a good result, also you dont have any control of it. With this new API, the data caught on the sensor is a stored in a .DNG file, which you can manipulate in image editing softwares like Photoshop,RAW Therapee etc. You can control any aspect of the image. You will get some amazing results after editing. Google search for nexus 5 raw images. Or here is a link http://www.androidauthority.com/nexus-5-lollipop-camera-api-samples-540858/
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Also "A Better Camera"
[Nexus 5 General] krolla03:
I dont know about you guys but 5.0.1 has seemed to fix my battery issues i was having with 5.0 love it
[Nexus 5 General] pemz82:
For me 5.0.1 has brought a few improvements. The two most noticeable...

Improved battery usage

No longer get the bug where a previous app would open after multi pressing back too quickly to exit from another app
[Nexus 5 General] -A-P-M-:
Im loosing faith in Google. Android 5.0 was released 2 months ago and I was very happy with it - there were some bugs, but that is normal with such a big update. But now after two months, we get only one update with bug fixes, which didn't fixed major bugs. Still when I press back too quickly it opens previous application, for a new year I had to reboot my phone twice in one night to be able to take a picture (I get message "unable to connect to camera"). Every few days flash light stops working, so I must reboot a phone. Those were known bugs since Lollipop release and I can't believe they still haven't been fixed after two months. My friends laughed me when I wanted to take a picture, but I had to reboot my phone before. And then a few hours later again. We are laughing at Apple - yes iOS8 had a lot of bugs, but they were mostly fixed very quickly - if I remember right, they get an update almost every week after iOS8 release. I had SGS phones before N5 and I sweared I will never buy Samsung again - but I have to admit, I never had to reboot a phone to be able to take a picture.
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
Agree ..

For me .. The memory leak issue is just unbearable ..
[Nexus 5 General] 350Rocket:
I never had the camera issue. I do have the previous application flash up when backing out really fast but that doesn't bother me. Haven't experienced memory leak yet, not sure if it's an app I'm not using or something.
[Nexus 5 General] jutezak:
"A Better Camera" with Camera2 API selected in the settings is wonderful for night photography. Huge difference. Or use their 'SuperSensor' demo app - which takes good pictures but has no picture settings or controls.
[Nexus 5 General] Dzontra.nikola:
To be honest, i thought "wtf is happening to these people who're complaining about lolipop" but now I became one of them. When i first updated to lolipop (not rooted, OTA update) it was all okay, but as the time goes i see more and more bugs, not to mention slow responses and freezes that's happening every now and then. Camera bug, recent apps (shows random app) etc, that's all amateur-ish things which google shouldn't have let to happen. The same issue I have with n7, and as the both, phone and tablet are quite new and not so used, the issue can't be with hardware or something like that.

Hope that all of this problems will be fixed shortly or I'll have to bother with rooting and stuff and try with some custom ROM, cause this isn't going to work without some serious bug fixing..
[Nexus 5 General] borchgrevink:
I wonder why Google is taking so long to fix these things? Apple usually ships several small bug fixes pretty fast. Not that I like Apple in any way...
[Nexus 5 General] Edge330:
It's a reason why you have to pay more for Apple products.

But on other side you cant copy video from your friends computer and set custom ringtone without iTunes, lol.
[Nexus 5 General] wicked1683:
My Nexus 5 freeze almost everyday. Battery life is terrible. Flashlight bug is still there. Very annoying and still no fix. Really bad update
[Nexus 5 General] pfmiller:
Google is one of the biggest tech companies in the world, it's not like they don't have the resources to get updates out faster.
[Nexus 5 General] Tidbits:
Difference...

Apple does the hardware and software themselves. They make, build, and purchase specific hardware for their products. They control everything about their products.

Google does the software and buys hardware from somewhere else for their Nexus line. Manufacturers make their hardware, and put their skins on top. It's not Google's job to support hardware they do not make, build, or purchase.

So if you want it to be more like Apple... Buy a Nexus every time, and don't buy from other manufacturers. If you don't like how the Nexus line looks well you have to deal with manufacturers supporting their own products.
[Nexus 5 General] 350Rocket:
Not everyone has these problems either. From what I've read sometimes over the air updates cause issues which require a factory wipe to resolve. Its happened several times with my sisters galaxy s3. Never happened to me cause I've always wanted to start fresh after an update.

My nexus 5 I had an now my nexus 4 didn't have issues with 5.0+. The n4 I believe had factory image flashed as it still had unlocked bootloader when I got it from eBay. No bugs in the time that i ran it stock.
[Nexus 5 General] tonyt3rry:
I've got the flashlight bug I put the light on after a min or so it turns off and won't turn back on and my camera just force closes

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] Edge330:
There is every few days some drain in battery stats, sometimes google play services, sometimes android os or android system..., today I have fb messenger drain and used it just maybe few minutes.

Android is great OS but I have feeling it's whole time in beta.

Every version has some bugs, one version repair one thing and screw another 5 things.
[Nexus 5 General] Jiia:
Lollipop is a great UI enhancement but not much more. It's been very stable but I just can't get over the silent mode ****up. They added a bunch of minor improvements and then broke a major part of the OS. So that's why I think it's been the worst update so far.

Oh and the Camera didn't get any improvements. It still gets the focus right like... every third attempt?
[Nexus 5 General] johdaxx:
Fix - sorta

I spent a few weeks trying to get Lollipop under control - in frustration after having it start killing itself yet again this weekend, I wiped my device and flashed 4.4.4 again.

My phone is magically better... battery life doubled, things actually run and stay running when I want them to, and as an added bonus, I get all my dashclock stuff working again. It may not be for everyone, but really Kit Kat is Google's best tested most stable OS. Yet another Nexus bonus, I suppose - you can go back if you want to.
[Nexus 5 General] michaelopolis:
To achieve silence in lolipop , press the volume button down once and press "none" onscreen, easy peasy
[Nexus 5 General] gamer.11:
That my friend is complete do not disturb, you wont even have alarms. Conventional "Silent mode" is achieved by pressing and holding down the volume button until the slider goes all the way down and the phone vibrates.
[Nexus 5 General] michaelopolis:
I just press priority if I want my alarms.
[Nexus 5 General] MrKaon:
Yeah I have the same problem.

hopefully fix is on the way. :angel:
[Nexus 5 General] tonyt3rry:
Fixed in 5.0.1
[Nexus 5 General] MrKaon:
Not on my 5.0.1[emoji1]
[Nexus 5 General] tonyt3rry:
I can keep my light on for 20 mins+ and it doesnt go off
[Nexus 5 General] raol.xh:
Despite the bugs,lollipop is ugly as ****.all those white backrounds:eek: Wtf google.still on kit kat with paranoid and franco kernel.good battery life and performance.wont upgrade till i see a good cm12 theme that covers all the lollipop **** ui...
[Nexus 5 General] Yaz75:
Yeah, downloading and using another launcher and/or using a theme from folks here on XDA is just to tough to do.........
[Nexus 5 General] MrKaon:
Do you like my black background [emoji1]
[Nexus 5 General] raol.xh:
it's not only about backround...it's all the ui that doesnt appeal to me.setting icons.dialog windows etc....will wait for a good cm12 theme that changes every thing like ''slim ui'' before upgrading...
[Nexus 5 General] biscuitownz:
Does anyone know if the auto brightness bug is fixed yet? Where auto brightness would stop working after x hours.
[Nexus 5 General] 350Rocket:
I haven't had that problem but I'm on liquid smooth January 16th build.
[Nexus 5 General] MrKaon:
Dose anyone have a problem with dialer:

I have to dial any numbers twice in order to dial them. :(

[YOUTUBE]ff7JeX_eNOQ[/YOUTUBE]
[Nexus 5 General] nasempire:
Then it seems you didn't fish the ROM well or it is a problem with the ROM. But if you are on stock ROM, then you have to contract the manufacturers and log your complaint. Mine is super awesome. Just that for the custom ROM I am using, I can't take videos.
[Nexus 5 General] MrKaon:
It is stock ROM only rooted I guess I have to report it.

Herm, the battery life is on par with what I have in KK. Not really getting used with the two swipes to notification. It's redundant.
[Nexus 5 General] snorfu:
Does anybody know while there isn't my picture in the right corner? I synced everything...
[Nexus 5 General] gtg465x:
Here's my battery life on the first full day. 17 hours with 4 hours SOT. GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth enabled, Moto 360 connected, adaptive brightness on and at about 60%, and didn't use battery saver at all. Would have been longer if RunKeeper didn't keep a wake lock for the first couple hours of the day before I figured out and fixed it.
[Nexus 5 General] gtg465x:
And SOT. XDA app sucks.
[Nexus 5 General] miticogirl:
Eduroam wifi network still doesn't work.
[Nexus 5 General] jamaniek:
Works fine here. In my experience eduram just doesn't work...untill it does. Try to forget the network on your device and then sign in again.
[Nexus 5 General] pookipsy:
well, i enjoy it so far. battery life is same as KK for now, speed is pretty much same, i think some apps need to optimize more for this new system, but more or less still speedy a fluid.

the only thing that bugs me is that they should really make the toggles show for first swipe when there are no notifications and 2nd swipe when there are.

im sure we will see 5.0.1 in few weeks to improve few little things tough.
[Nexus 5 General] zeekiz:
You all need to take a deep breath, remember that its a new build, and you're playing around with it tremendously more than normal.

My battery results (day two)
[Nexus 5 General] eddiehk6:
Granted, I only played around with the official release for a bit, but I liked what I saw.

Material design is great. Really fluid. Take time to appreciate the colours and little animations which make it much more enjoyable to use. I get what Google is trying to achieve here.

A lot of the 'problems' in this thread are (still) issues with user misconception rather than anything to do with Android e.g.

So this is an issue with the Power Toggles app. Has it even been properly updated to fully support 5.0 yet.....

This is true for an AMOLED device. It is simply just not true for an LCD device.....the N5 is an LCD device.....

People, you do not NEED "clear all recents". You are harming the way your phone works by doing this. Basic basic Android. Recent apps are meant to be in recents. Let Android manage itself. Anyone who believe this needs to be 'fixed' with a custom ROM or xposed needs to learn that it is simply not necessary.
