Android 5.0 Lollipop thread

I did a factory reset on my nexus and things have been much, much better since. Only problem is that game progress etc seems to be stored on your device, not with Google, so I lost everything.
 
This has completely fucked my nexus 5. The whole thing crashes about 3 times a day, the camera app often crashes, its laggy everywhere. The battery save mode reduces performance so much as to be practically useless. I have to run it at lowest brightness to get anything over about 6 hours if light use before the battery drains completely.
Yesterday I spent a couple of hours on the eBay app and it used 80% of the battery.
Absolute crap.

Might be worth doing a factory reset - then upgrading - then adding apps a few at a time.

IME it always been apps that have caused battery drain - even ones that have been on my phone for ages - a bad update to an app can cause issues.

My N5 has been running smoothly with great battery life since 4.4.

Battery monitor says biggest power draw is the screen. Even on lowest brightness and it still draws a lot of power when it's off which seems a little odd to me. You're right though a factory reset seems on the cards.

Same for my 7 so much so its taken me 5 minutes to post this. Fucking utter bag of shite. No battery issues mind, but everything else is fucking awful. Factory reset it is then right? What a load of cock. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
 
That worked for me. Might just be that I haven't put back all the apps I had before but it's working fine now.
 
Battery management was totally fucked on my Nexus after upgrade and factory reset. Slow to charge and fast to drain. I put du battery saver on it and everything is good again.

Nope you need to do a firmware downgrade as a factory reset wont help.

I had to put 4.4.4 back on my mum's 2012 nexus 7. You also sort of need to have a machine setup for android development to do it.

Have you looked in setting to see what's eating up the battery? I'd go for a factory reset if it's nothing obvious.

Just general use tbh. If I use it to browse the battery literally just fucks off. I only use my phone for email, here and facebook with a little bit of other bits. It's the browsing that cains it. I went from 10% battery to switched off in 10mins this week. Just shit. It never used to be like this and nothing new has been installed.
 
I love the design of Lollipop but the FUCKING battery drain is getting old. If I do a factory reset do I have to reinstall everything? <sigh>

No, most things should re-install themselves. A factory reset is you telling your phone to roll-back its state to the one it was when it just left the factory. It doesn't affect your Google account, which knows which apps you've installed.

Once you log back in again after the factory reset, it will check your Google account and re-install all the apps that you had before.
