and kudos to zdnet

for at least putting out that their own company gave a glowing review of something the masses has found just does not work. but since it is ggle and ggle knows and does everything that is best for its customers (including removing apps you purchased and precluding re-installing) this will just get a pass.

 

imagine if msft had done something like this ...

(yes, that last line was snark)

It works perfectly. I have updated to Lollipop on 3 devices, am a member of a huge Nexus Community on G+ and have a few friends that have upgraded to Lollipop and I have not heard of a single person with a unusable device.

 

I cannot believe they stooped so low and flat out lied.

Granted it is a little slower on the 2012 Nexus 7 model but that is because it is an old device with only 1gb of ram. I upgraded mine and it is a little bit laggy but as soon as you turn down the animation a little from (1.0 to 0.5), it works fluidly. I think they are just spreading FUD on behalf of another company.

My experience with Android 5.0 Lollipop on a Nexus 7 (2012)

has not been a positive one.

 

I installed the OTA update and the tablet became very unresponsive.

 

Turned off animations and limited background processes to 4.

System would still slow to a crawl on occasion.

 

Ended up doing a factory reset and things are much better

but I'm still experiencing a slowdown on occasion.

 

e.x. on the lock screen it sometimes takes a couple of seconds

before it responds to a tap or swipe.

 

A couple of seconds does not sound like much but when you tap

and it takes one...one...thousand...two...one...thousand

to respond you notice it.

who do you claim is lying, the users or zdnet?

I just searched and their the only ones reporting that besides some forum questions.

umm, you need to adjust your search query.

or change your search engine from ggle :)

Odd as mine is fluid at 0.5 animation. Very off

looks like you got cut short - very off what? Edited by crp

I used Bing and while there were post about some people with older Nexus 7 tablets having problems, it certainly doesn't appear to me that Lolipop has any more than what one should expect with a new OS release. Nowhere near what msft had with Win 8.

 

And with Android, I can backup my current ROM, install the new one, and if I have problems with the new one, restore the saved ROM, all in about 30 minutes. Try doing that with ANY ms product. :whistling:

1st you need to improve your search skills

2nd there is no comparison between a pc OS and a mobile device OS.

3rd the press did not miss the problems with W8

And with Android, I can backup my current ROM, install the new one, and if I have problems with the new one, restore the saved ROM, all in about 30 minutes. Try doing that with ANY ms product. :whistling:

You haven't used windows phone.

 

edit was due to confusing 2 different forums.

ZDNet was lying

 

I was saying that yours not working was very off. In other words, very weird

 

Also, I posted that to 4500 of my followers and even with a ton of comments, noone said that they had a problem
