Genie Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Not that desperate so I'll hang on for the OTA update if its quite soon. Think I'll get myself a battery too as for £7.50 eBay has genuine replacements. (Yes, eBay and Genuine not necessarily going handcin hand) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Now now, I'm sure the batteries have stickers with the word 'genuine' on them somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Has anyone managed to get the phone to discover that there is an update ready, no matter how many times I get it to check it finds nothing and then at some point I will go to use the phone and it will suddenly announce there is an update ready.

The_Rev Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 A watched pot never boils mate. Google stagger the release date of the update. They keep exactly how they do it to themselves, but typically you will have a 1% chance of getting the update on the first day it's available and will stay like that for a day or two, if no problems are reported back (bricked phones, crippling bugs etc) then it will go up to a 25% chance, then a 50% chance then a 100% chance over the course of a couple of weeks. The Google Services Framework 'trick' used to mean you could fool Google into thinking your phone was a new phone every time you checked for an update which increased your chances of getting it quickly (if you check and it says no then it's pointless checking again for several hours) but it seems Google changed some things their end which means the services framework trick can do more harm than good these days. I think Darren said he had to do a factory reset after attempting it recently. Basically just be patient. The system exists as it does to stop crap happening like Sony's recent firmware update for the PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted November 17, 2014 Administrator Share Posted November 17, 2014 I'm pretty sure that on Nexus devices, updates are pushed. I don't think the "Check for updates!" option does anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Did a manual update. Initial thought is that opening apps and notifications etc is is lightning quick, even compared to 4.4.4, my nexus7 is a 2012 one and it is a huge improvement speed and battery wise on that too. So far impressed with Lollipop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted November 18, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 18, 2014 Lollipop makes football manager run weird. SO I HATE IT! (not really, it looks quite cool. But that is annoying) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted November 18, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 18, 2014 Annoyance no1, My unlockstyle (thumb) always brings up the dialler. How do you manage that? You can swipe in the middle of the screen to unlock. I know that, but 4 years of thumb-placement and swipe-technique is hard to change. To get into the homescreen now you have to swipe from the middle and upwards and not start on the left side of the screen and swipe right. I'm not calling it a bug or error, just annoying for my particular movement. I'll survive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 First issue with Lollipop on Nexus 5. When you open a link in Chrome it doesnt show as a tab that means you can go back to the previous site (the little number isnt there) unless you go into settings and turn the "Merge tabs and apps" off. Why would I want it on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 18, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 18, 2014 Yeah I literally noticed that about 10 minutes ago. COuldn't figure out how to close the tab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted November 18, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 18, 2014 You switch the tabs in taskmanager, each tab is a seperate "app". Dunno if I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted November 18, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 18, 2014 I don't like so I've switched it back as mykey suggested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
