I finally got the 5.1.1 update today. I'm sick of wiping everything every time do I just stuck it on top of 5.1 THEN I went to developer options and turned off all the horrible animation. It's OK now. I think it's ugly compared to KK and don't really understand what they're aiming for with...

I'm glad to see good news in the 5.1.1 reports and look forward to the OTA when it arrives on my N7. I still believe Google needs to fix their Android update model to be at least as good as how MS and Apple approach it. They ought to be able to do even better though IMO. Android is Linux...

Backfired even more over here as I picked up an iPad Mini 2 to complement the iPhones and iPod Touch I picked up when I was fed up with no updates for Android on my phones. I'm pretty much android free at this point, and after two years of using iOS and Android side by side, and watching the...

Sigh. Does anyone have a link for a step by step written newbie style to flash .GB to .EU? Windows 7 preferred though I can run any OS necessary. I'm not a newbie but I haven't flashed anything in two years.

Still no OTA on my .GB stock unrooted. I'm in the US. Any way to force the OTA?. I'm too old and lazy to flash stuff anymore.

I think you should try installing a new battery if KitKat doesn't fix it.

LOL "the kit kat of lollipop"

Good news, thanks!

I finally found the old phone. It's running stock unrooted 4.1.2 91.2.2600.XT890.Orange.en.GB Will this ever have an OTA or do I have to flash it?

I've read through most of this thread, and the common theme seems to be Facebook=Lag. Maybe it ain't Lollipop that's the real issue here.

Excited for OTA!!! Do it Google, hit the button! Hit the button and release it for us lazy people who don't feel like flashing! :D

I don't even know where my RAZRi is anymore. I think it's in some cardboard box somewhere. I guess I passed the point of caring about Motorola long ago. They hurt me too many times, on purpose. I had to get away from them to protect myself, emotionally and financially. I do feel bad for all the...

How much is dongle?. Where is dongle?

When OTA? Do we wait three months again??

Ok I'm curious mostly because I've never heard of such a thing. Is it through the USB port? Mostly I just tether from my phone when I need that sort of thing.

Well if there was some actual news, I'm sure we'd be all over it. There is no news. Maybe there will never be any more news. I think Motorola ditched the Photon 2 years ago and never gave those users the promised update either. So since there are a few of us standing around, waiting for the...

After five years of these headaches, I've migrated almost entirely over to Apple, as I've given up on the Android update model. I have a big box full of useless Android devices that either never received promised updates, or that the updates made worse. Ultimately, while costing more up front...

And you have pointed out my point: Ultimately it was ANDROID that failed all of us. It doesn't matter who made the phone. Chances of getting screwed in the end are ridiculous. I can't think of a single Android phone anyone can rely on to get updates, including Nexus. Yet I can take PC...

What issue? Does anyone have any idea?

Because I have this phone!!!! It was the last straw, the straw that broke the camel's back! I keep abreast of Android because I want to come back... because I absolutely hate Apple! But instead of getting better, Google keeps making Android and everything everything everything associated...

Look, I thought people who thought like me were stupid too, but then I did the real calculation. Here is an example: IPhone 4s was released Oct 2011. It will have latest software until AT LEAST Oct 2015, so at least 4 years. Unsubsidized price was about $600, or $150 a year. If it gets...

Does on or off topic even matter any more? This is a dead forum for a dead phone made by a dead company. Who cares?

My response is on topic. Read the first post. It asks the question will we get update. Answer is no. Why answer no? Because Android model is broken in a way we thought would eventually get fixed, but now it is apparent no fix is in the works, across the entire Android spectrum, including...

It's a valid comparison because I ended up buying zillions of Android devices just to try to have a good experience without endless frustrating bugs. Every one of those devices ended up having either terrible or zero support and updates after purchase, including my Nexus. Screw that. Apple has...

I'm just posting my experience. I actually hate Apple as a company. They're completely evil. Nevertheless they're better at putting together an overall hardware and software experience than anyone else at the moment. I think ultimately the problem is that Google is in bed with the mass...

Yes I figured that out a year and a half ago and jumped to Apple. Here I am posting on that same iPhone 5s running the latest software, running better with more capability than when I first purchased it. Not that Apple doesn't have its share of issues, but in the long run I'm spending way less...

It's not pathetic. That's not quite the right connotation. It's just sad. ?. It's the triumph of marketing over engineering. Form over substance. Shiny instead of good. Motorola had the engineering brilliance above all other radio telephone makers. A bunch of pointy haired stupid and...

Sad. It will be OK in a few years. I've been there. We've all been there. It's part of being a true hacker.

We need serious optimizations for speed and memory. Upgrades should be upgrades, not downgrades. Features are nice, but not at the expense of usability.

Praise Our Lord and Master the Great Gog received update here in the NW US. Hard reset and wiped everything. Gave it a few hours to settle and turned off all animation as per usual. Result: speedwise seems about the same. Designwise, meh. I liked the split notification bar better. If...

Still nothing Northwest U.S. Maybe Google figured out I've been bad mouthing them so I experience the punishment.

Word is they found the poor guy in the basement, took him outside, and shot him.

Meh. The more reports I see of LP on N7 the less I want it. It seems to be a real RAM pig. I wish there were a comparison of 4.4 and 5.02 on N7 with two N7s side by side, running the same software. Stuff like app opening times, max tabs open possible in browser, etc.

You don't need to root, just flash it. But your lag will only get worse. If you really want to get rid of the lag, factory reset. You can try just wiping the dalvic cache first, but if that doesn't work, backing up your stuff and wiping it is the real man's way to go. Just do it, you'll be...

Have you Factory Reset yet? You are the only one.

This is the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer I've been using it for many years. ---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 PM ---------- And sometimes I use this one instead...

I have multiple iOS and Android devices. Both OSes have their share of multiple headache inducing flaws. In just about all cases those flaws are because all the giant corps treat the little people like dog poop and don't care a whit about what we think our what is good or pleasing to us, but...

what about just getting the app "Equalizer" and pushing all the sliders up?

I'm totally sick of the way both Google, and Apple handle updates. Opposite ends of the spectrum, but both suck eggs. Still nothing in Northwest USA.

Weird how there are conflicting reports. Some say 5.02 is faster than 4.4 and others say the opposite. I'd love to see someone with two identical Nexus 7 do a comparison video side by side, each with a fresh flash (giving both tabs a few days after the flash to "settle."

Northwest USA, nothing ever received for 32G WiFi 2012 N7.

That is a BEAUTIFUL guide! It's the best guide for flashing I've ever seen in 20 years of flashing stuff. You should get a job writing flashing guides or something lol.

I've seen zero reports of the OTA resuming. I wish Google was a little less secretive. They're almost as bad as Apple.

It's just an assumption. There was never any official word. I guess what we're all trying to say is: "Don't panic! You are not alone ."

Wade-0, Although "push" is a misnomer given how the tech actually works, in common parlance, available for download and manual installation is typically not considered a push. Just sayin.

It seems the rollout was stopped for unknown reasons, we speculate severe performance issues. No word on when the OTA resumes.

OK, I'll take that as a GO for liftoff. Hey Google, please push it out now. Thanks!

Did anyone actually get this pushed OTA, or is everyone flashing?

Pushed to who? Nexus 7 2012?
