Still nothing on my 2013 N7 either. I tried clearing cache of the Google Service Framework but no dice. It has always worked in the past.

Also I'm waiting for the OTA for N4 and 2013 Moto G. -(

Well I meant via OTA. I guess even when flashing the image or ota zip file. Some users here suggest to do it. They've done it themselves. Hence why I asked and what's the benefit of it.

The clearing framework was in the past. Not anymore after KitKat IIRC.

dammit and this is the problem.

all three ipads in my house have this problem on 8.1.

ipad air, ipad 4 lte and ipad mini

i've reset the network settings on two of them and cleared all safari data. chrome works fine though. my ddwrt router reboots daily at 5am and no other devices or computers in the house have this issue.

...but this is for another thread :)

I've decided to sideload the update for the N7. It is actually very easy. Loving the Lollipop on the tablet!

Easy yes. Taking the risk - not here lol. Too many bad experiences with my Nexus 4 in the past, by sideloading the OTA zip or flashing the images. :razz:

How's the tablet otherwise in terms of performance after flashing Lollipop?

I'm surprised you are afraid of flashing the files?!

Not afraid. Just don't want to go through the hassle. I despised it then.

Flashing is all part of the Android high bro! lol

Flashed the stock image of lollipop on the N5... it's really nice, aesthetics-wise. Smooth animations and response.

Yeah, it really has rejuvenated the operating system as a whole.. I'm actually tempted to sell my iPhone 6 Plus and just go straight back to my N5. The OS is beautiful.

Is any one having camera issues when zooming in?
The preview looks normal but the pic is off center
Nexus 5

It seems to only do it with HDR off

Performance is top notch. It feel like a brand new OS. It looks quite different than ICS/JB/KK. But it is still Android and I'm loving it!

The battery saving mode is pretty good. I'm digging the radio on this build better reception with Wind.

not me. i just tested with hdr off. zoomed in and had subject dead centre. took the pic, flash fired and viewed the image and it was fine. btw why would you ever "zoom" in using the camera phone.. it's so gross looking.

How do you know if your phone will be getting 5.0? I have the Note 2 here and it's difficult finding any confirmation.
