Just arrived down here in Oz.
Yep, mine came through this evening on my N5. Yet to arrive for my N7 2012 though
I guess I should do a Mike, and slag off the operating system I don't use, but I just don't seem to be able to summon the zeal he does.
I'm sure it's very good at what it does, as well.
My N5 says up to date.
Come up with something valid and off you go Jamie, or at least something funny. Got any big hand wavey graphs of betterness?
Spent the last two nights transitioning from Nexus 5 to Xperia Z2. No Lollipop for me for a while...
HTC says within 90 days for the M8
just done the 2 user thing for home and work, will be interesting to see how that works out.

If you've not had the update pushed to your phone and can't wait, you can do this:

Interesting update, some things great, some taking some getting used to.

GPE Edition is out November/December so the customs wont be long after that. I'm more than happy running Android Revolution v22 with a heap of Lollipop apk's so far. Be interesting to run LP on it though, properly. Mind, they'll have to update xposed as there's tonnes of modules I use and LP is ART rather than Dalvik so might hang on a bit.
edit: SkyDragon GPE Lollipo edition is available if you're into custom roms.

How does that differ from just having more than one user, is it using the same account?
Availability news and options (including non-OTA download) for N5 [url= http://www.androidpit.com/nexus-5-android-update ]here[/url]. Methinks I'll wait for the OTA.
Not arrived here yet, but I just found an easter egg while messing about. If you triple tap on the Android Version number in the settings it sets off on an animation of a Kitkat/Android logo. Might be old news but never seen it before 🙂
Broke the screen on my 5 (got in the car and it was OK, got out and it was broken...) so holding out for it to come through on my 4! As a slight hijack - can anyone recommend a good replacement screen/digitizer? It's a minefield, I'm happy to repair it myself...

Do a long press on the KitKat logo and it does moar stuff.
(swipe down from top of screen to get rid of said moar stuff )
I think i read that screen replacement on the nexus 5 is a PITA because the screen is built in to the chassis, however if you bought the phone direct from google there is a subsidised replacement/repair service. Good luck!

ha! wonderfully pointless! 🙂
And if you go into "about phone" and keep tapping the Build Number.....
just tried some of the "easter eggs" on my jelly bean build and get the same results 🙂
Not here on my N5 yet 🙁
Easter egg on jelly bean is best. Nothing like a good game of flicking the bean 😉
Still waiting for lollipop on my 2012 N7.
Doesn't half look like iOS8
Im still waiting for the nexus six
I hope you've got big pockets. I mean big, not deep.
Running 5 on my HTC One M8 now. Very noice!

I have 3 google accounts running 2 work one home. Not gone all the way into it yet but looks like I can separate them and do proper don not disturbs based on that etc and have different screen setups for each (different apps at the front etc)
Nexus 7 (both WiFi versions) and Nexus 4 now on this link:

This is the OTA file, but you download and apply it manually rather than wait for it to push out from Google's servers. Installed with no data loss (in theory! Backup anyway etc...):

Nice Easter Egg in Lollipop - my high score is 0 so far!
There's no 'silent' any more - you need to mess about with 'Priority' notifications rather than just volume down.
Alarms seem to be missing from the quick settings dropdown.
Messenger is the new SMS app rolled out quietly if you don't want to use Hangouts.
People has become Contacts, but I can't access all the groups I'd set up - rubbish!
Calendar is nice - 5 day view only by default - rotate the phone to landscape for 7 day view automatically!
Spent the last two nights transitioning from Nexus 5 to Xperia Z2. No Lollipop for me for a while...
And we're back in the room - Z2 sent back, 2 complete hangs in 4 days and buggy software/touchscreen. Nexus 5 for a while more yet, but still waiting for Lolipop.
I've just faffed around for the best part of an hour with adb, a Nexus 7 and a dodgy USB cable. Managing to wipe my data, I've been through the initial setup and then been offered ... Lollipop.
🙂
Pushed the OTA to me Nexus 4 day before yesterday...
It is NICE!
Seems to run smoother, and there's definitely a decent improvement in battery life. Can't wait for more apps to take advantage of the new designs and animations available.
Just got it OTA in NI. Doesn't look enormously different but haven't really looked round that much yet. Battery Saver came up 5 minutes after installing.
So far, 1 point on the game. It's hard.
Any ideas when this will be available for other vendors like Samsung?
yep 1 point here too, the notification seem to be the biggest change and not taking over the screen for stuff.
Arrived on my 5 tonight,yet to do so for my 7.
Will it ever be for my S4?
arriving on my nexus 4
wish it would hurry up, need "sleep like andriod" about 15mins ago
[quote=iolo ]Will it ever be for my S4?
Probably. Samsung haven't confirmed yet.
Right, it arrived on my N5 last night.
And?
Its merged my corp exchange email into gmail.
I dont like that.
Not a good start.
Can't access one of the games I play. Can't log in to play store. Lots of visual changes that I'm yet to find one I like (why new home icon?). Two swipes to unlock lock screen. Three presses/swipes to get to settings. I'm sure I'll get used to it but so far, so bad
Two swipes to unlock lock screen. Three presses/swipes to get to settings.
Drag two fingers from top then tap the cog.
Not sure why you need two swipes to unlock, I obly need one. Is the padlock on lock screen showing closed or open? If its showing closed it will take two swipes but default is open and one swipe.
Liking it so far, only real criticism is loss of silent, had no issues with any accounts etc but then I flashed the factory image for a clean start.
Only app I've had issue with so far is mixcloud but you can't blame google for a lazy app develop as the previews were out for long enough.
I'll still count that as 3. Previously the double swipe took you straight to settings. Now the only difference between double and single is that the settings button is shownDrag two fingers from top then tap the cog.
one swipe from the padlock then another to unlockNot sure why you need two swipes to unlock, I obly need one
Do I need a smar****ch to make the most of Google Fit, or will it sync into other apps like My Tracks?
You don't have to swipe from the padlock though unless it's showing as closed which would have required you to press it first anyway. If it's showing open as is default then you can swipe up from anywhere in one go to unlock. At least that is all I have to do.
Any idea how I un-install it? I think I'll wait for 5.1
Still sat on KitKat on my Galaxy Nexus, though lots of the app-level changes are coming through anyway (Mail and Calendar updated recently, I've been using Fit for a week or so, and I got Inbox yesterday). The more I hear about Lollipop, the more I think I'll upgrade to an N4 or N5, or a Moto-G.
Big video playback issues with 5.0 on the Nexus 7.
You might want to hold off updating for a while. I updated by sideloading from my computer and I can no longer use YouTube. iPlayer and the like still work.
Some people are reporting further issues with video recording et al.
Be careful out there.
@nickjb you probably can via the factory images which are readily available and flash via adb. Not 100? sure though. XDA forum would be the place to check.
It's shit up the wireless on my Nexus 4. Keeps disconnecting then reconnecting - doing it at home and in the office.
i like the easter egg
Flappy android. Working fine on my Nexus 5. Although the proximity unlock, or whatever it's called doesn't work that well. Oh and work email is kaput, but that's more a work security issue than Lollipop.
all fine on the nexus 4
some stuff looks a little different
oh sorry, its new and strange and i dont like it
No real issues here on the 5 so far, couple of app crashes on day 1 but nothing since then and lots and lots of app updates coming through. Only thing I can't find is the silent no vibrate setting for being asleep, probably means I need to go into the DND or block settings.
Definitely messed mine up. Flattened the battery 3 times in a day. Can't connect to any Google services. Dropped a phone call. Won't connect over usb. I'm yet to find a redeeming feature, the open apps list is much worse than 4. I want to like and I'd be much happier if it worked it but I'm struggling.
Arrived today on my first-gen Nexus 7.
Annoyingly, the battery's too low to install the bugger. Currently charging.
Nexus 5 bought direct from Google and still no Lollipop OTA...
Ooh, new twirly boot animation.
Ooh, new twirly boot animation.
And,
Lollipop, I has it.
Received the OTA for the nexus 7 2012 yesterday morning.
I really like the look and the animations. The nexus itself has been becoming really slow to do pretty much anything, but since the update it's a lot quicker when app switching or opening a link etc. The best feature I've found so far (other than the easter egg) is search in settings.
And my phone has started crashing again. Completely non responsive this morning, had to hold down buttons until led flashed red then it eventually started the factory boot loader. To be fair, it has done this before on kit-kat, but not for a while. So hopefully it is a misbehaving app that needs an update.

Reckon they're saving us till last, let all those who bought from 3rd parties iron out the bugs! 🙂
HTC One M8 Google Edition Lollipop is out on Friday apparently.
Not arrived on my direct from google N5 as yet...
Can't be arsed messing about, will wait for the OTA update.
I'm happy to wait to
*checks for updates*
*checks for updates*
It's here, and it's different!
After playing with the triple tap the version number I get a pretty KitKat screen so still waiting on my Nexus 4 🙁
However, I then triple tapped the build number and after the third go it reveals a developer menu on main settings screen...lots of clever geeky stuff in there it seems 🙂
Lollipop turned up for Nexus 5 last night, earlier days but it seems a bit of an improvement.
Nexus 7 2012 after the initial improvement seems to be struggling now. I might try a full reset as there is very little on there other than the stock apps and see if that improves things.
Slightly OT, but if anyone wants an invite to inbox let me know as I have a few going spare.
finally, I've just got the notification on my n5, currently downloading. I'm not expecting any great leaps...and will need to learn to silence the thing.
My phone (HTC One M8) downloaded a 75Mb update earlier but it wasn't Lollipop. Got a Nexus 7 (2nd gen) waiting for it too.
Heard various mixed reviews so will see what happens...
Nexus 5 is just about ready to crap out but has done 3 hrs screen on, haven't seen much over 2 hrs recently so maybe Volta has brought improvement.
Well that update just hosed a battery that was at 70%. Phone is faster but scrolling is jerky, visual changes will take a day or two to get used to, I've lost my photo gallery widget and app.... Why did they Bother?! Oh and keyboard seems weird
At least my notification bar sorry cut to silence the phone staid

My N4 upgraded 2 nights ago and no issues since, although I wasn't a fan of the way Gmail stole my email accounts from K9 and my contacts from 'People'.

The Google Play Edition Lollipop for HTC M8 is meant to be around today (Friday) so the custom roms (minus Sense) will be starting to surface. HTC reckon december/jan for the Sense version of lollipop with hopefully a new version of sense (7.0). I tried a custom rom of Lollipop last week. Looked great but a little buggy - wifi not always working, data connection temperamental too.
My Nexus 7 has borked itself, Lollipop has slowed it to a crawl, the auto rotate has stopped working, and I'm pissed off with it.
