Anyone in the UK got the lollipop update?

blenky · Jan 22, 2015

If so when and what carrier?

Ta!

thicks56 · Jan 23, 2015

Not yet, (on EE)

Fingers crossed soon though

Yatezy · Jan 26, 2015

I'm avoiding it till Xposed is ready to run on it

Rhyan · Jan 28, 2015

I literally just got the notification that the update is available (mine's an unlocked M8). Dithering whether or not to install it (seems like it's 5.0, rather than 5.0.2).

My experience with Android L on other devices has been mixed: I had to factory reset my Nexus 7 (2012) after the update to reduce severe lag (not that it was that great on KitKat!). My NVIDIA Shield tablet (32GB LTE on 5.0.2) is experiencing random freezing requiring hard resets, but I think that's more of a problem with NVIDIA's v2.1 of their firmware than Android L itself.

Anyone else taken the plunge and installed 5.0 yet on their M8?

Not available for mine yet. Well keep trying.

thicks56 · Jan 28, 2015

Mine has just shown up as well,

Trying to decide whether to install over lunchtime

Downloading now

rod9669 · Jan 28, 2015

Installing now - thought mine was locked to EE but apparently not. Will update later

rod9669 · Jan 28, 2015

So far so good. Doesn't look too bad, speed is good. Will be interesting to see if battery life is affected

Don't know why everyone's so excited about it - it's not as if there's any useful new features

thicks56 · Jan 29, 2015

Same here running it since yesterday afternoon and all is going well.

No bad things to say everything is nice and smooth doesn't seem to have affected the battery life,
Seem to have lost the ability to add a facebook account to my account's and snyc but im thinking a factory reset will probably solve that one.

Has anything else changed apart from the drop down menu and the running apps menu?

rod9669 · Jan 29, 2015

I don't like the double pull for the drop-down, plus I've lost one of the 12 that were there but I can't work ou which one

thicks56 · Jan 29, 2015

I'm not too fussed about that as I usually use the two fingered pull to get to that menu which still works, I do appear to be missing one or two off there and not sure which ones either though.

slinemfc · Jan 29, 2015

I've read elsewhere that the left/right swipe to unlock has gone. Has the doubletap to unlock gone too?

thicks56 · Jan 29, 2015

The double tap still works to wake the phone up but I never new you could unlock it with a double tap,

But yeah it looks as though the side swipes to unlock straight to blinkfeed are gone,
Never used that personally though as I dont use blinkfeed and have a dot view case.

I updated last night and have found I can no longer wirelessly tether my tablet to my phone despite my ee contract allowing tethering. Phone not rooted so will need to read up and see if I can find a solution when home from work.

allanoconnor · Jan 29, 2015

Updated today, to 5.01, on Vodafone Ireland. So far so good, took ages though, at least an hour (download of 638MB took only 15 mins of that). Haven't really noticed any major speed / battery improvements though tbf it is only a few hours so I'll reserve judgement.

I've got ee 2Gb data limit and used hotspot ok todayy

Rhyan · Jan 30, 2015

Annoyingly I don't seem to be able to update anymore. Was holding off for a day or so but then decided to go for it. It said it was downloading but just seemed to get stuck at 100%, so I cancelled the process.

But now the update doesn't seem to be available anymore! Grrrrr!

Thanks for the reply, must be something else then conflicting with it as there should be no reason for it being blocked. Cheers

Try main settings, Apps, All, Updater, clear cache and data.

Settings, Update, try to check again.

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried it a few times (and in different orders, with and without restarting the phone), but it's still coming up with nothing. Oh well. I'll just have to wait again!

Left and right motion gestures are still working post update.

When i updated to lollipop, i did a soft reset from within settings and then set phone to restore all of my apps from backup.

Tethering would not work when everything was finally restored.

I have done a further reset this morning, Power button and volume down, and did not set it to restore from backup.

When reset was complete i found i can set up my wireless hotspot and tether no problem now.

Will try reinstalling apps that i have been using one by one and see if one of them is responsible for the problem.

Battery life is worse with this update. Biggest culprit seems to be Google Play.

Don't particularly want to factory reset as it takes ages to get it back the same again
