When I went into "about" on my nexus 7 2012 last night it said that 5.0 was available, but a couple of seconds later (without me doing anything) the screen changed to "up to date". Now when I check its not showing the update available any more. So I'm thinking they may have pulled the update on that device for now.

That's what I meant - an app, running in the background, that was fine with 4.4 but needs amending for 5.0

Ah sorry, I'm not very tech savvy!

Cant see anything running in the background, I'm going to try to uninstall the update later today (if I can workout how to do it)

I have still not had any update o my Nexus 4 or Nexus 7(2012)

you are not the only one, i know a few people who have either N4, N7 or both and they are all saying the same thing. I have not seen anything on mine at all.
i think Google may have pulled it.

I saw a thread over on xda that google had pulled it.
Something to do with breaking the SMS app.

Having now used it on my Nexus 4 for nearly a week, my updated opinion is:

- I like the notification handling - appearing on the lock screen is handy.
- The interuption settings have made my usual silent mode widget useless (as well as any others I have tried). Bit of a pain having to press the volume button and then fiddle about depending on whether I want silent or vibrate only. Hopefully the 3rd party widgets will get updated.
- Battery life seems slightly improved - certainly no worse.
- The Google Now launcher isn't totally stable. I had the screen tearing/freezing issue mentioned earlier in this thread without trying to make it happen (was messing with the silent mode widgets re the above issue). Have also had a few other random freezes. There is the option to switch to the default launcher I had before Google Now, but that would mean rearranging my shortcuts etc and I can't be bothered.

I am not sure if i have any battery improvement yet. Before, i could easily achieve 16 hrs with medium use, now its lucky to be 12, on my Nexus 5.

I was keen to get this update but I am not totally sold on it, its certainly made me question whether i want to stay with stock android for my upgrade. May well consider going back to Samsung.

Well at least Samsung don't usually rush out updates so they should iron out the bugs by the time they push out the update, which usually coincides with the next Google OS release

(I'm not bitter about still waiting for my JB update on my Samsung Tablet!)

Still no update on the Nexus 7 OTA! I think they pulled the update on Friday and will start pushing it out again some time when they've fixed the issues people were reporting.

if they had pulled the update it would have been all over the various android website i frequent - i've seen nothing suggesting it.

I suspect they have pulled it for the Nexus 7 as we had users on this very forum telling us that the update available was showing but when they pushed check it shows no updates.

It was reported on the BBC and elsewhere that a lot of Nexus 7 users were experiencing issues, some claiming it made the device unusable, and I have checked every day all last week for the update and then again over the weekend and today but nothing. They did say it would roll out over a week.

if it had been pulled for any device it would been reported on the android website - it hasn't been.


how many is "a lot"?
you checking every day if a fruitless exercise. it won't show up until your device is added to the distribution list.

who said it would roll out over a week? was that google?

Just popped up OTA on my Nexus 4. Checked at 7pm manually and it wasn't available.

I'm updating now, I reserve the right to moan later

Theres a conspicuous silence from Android, no information is forthcoming about the problems people are having and what they intend to do about it.

My N7 is unusable. To give you an idea of how bad it is, in the last 45 minutes Ive been unable to complete a google search (as it takes 5 minutes for the keyboard to appear and when it does its unresponsive), crashed 3 times and every ap brings up the '...is not responding' message.

The silence from Android is as frustrating as its deafening.

i would suggest you do a system wipe, and don't restore from a backup when prompted.

It's not 'fruitless' (well it's not Apple) but checking each day means that when the update is available I'll be able to see it.

Asus announced on the 17th November that it was going out. Users reported seeing a notification of the update and then it being pulled and no updates available when they actually attempted to proceed.

it is fruitless, google even posted an article explaining why it was fruitless.

as said, i visit 3 major android websites every day (android central, android police and droid life) and none have reported about any update being pulled - android police are always on the ball with any release of anything. if it had been pulled then i would expect at least one of those sites to have reported on it.

the OTA and factory images are still available direct from google.
the only Nexus 7 update that hasn't been released is the 3G/LTE versions.

Ive done a reset, is that what you mean?

If not, how do I do it?

I feel like the next step is throwing the bloody thing out if the window!

Why else would it show and update available and then when people go to download / proceed and it says no updates are available. People on this forum have reported that.

no idea.

no, the next step would be putting 4.4.4 back on it should you wish to do so.
the images are available from google and should take around 5 minutes to flash your device back to 4.4.4

Be thankful it's been pulled (Nexus 7 2013) - it's a lot more laggy and video playback is screwed. Clearing the cache in recovery mode gets it back for a couple of hours before it dies again. The UI is also noticeably more laggy than it was before. I wish I hadn't noticed the upgrade available prompt! At least most if the apps work though.

The Nottingham Post website is completely unusable as it tries to play a video which promptly causes Chrome to crash At least I've got my Xperia to fire vids to the Chromecast.

Looks like the OTA has resumed today on some Nexus platforms, eg the Nexus 4. I am still waiting for mine. If Google had any sense they should not be pushing anything out to Nexus 7 until they have completely sorted the causes of the problems.

I still waiting to get the update on my Nexus 4 that I have had for just over 16 months now.
Also Nexus 7(2012) no had the update.
