Lollipop is now available for TN7.

Has anybody managed to install adb usb drivers. I have tried everthing I can find on web, but I just cannot get it to work.

If you haven't installed lollipop already have a read here.

I updated up yesterday and currently my tablet is almost unusable. Lag, running at 40c when it's not being used and the battery lasts about an hour.

I would seriously advise you not to install it. It's bricked a large percentage of nexus 7 tablets - see my thread further down the page.

Lollipop seems to have been an unmitigated disaster.

Absolute rubbish. Lollipop version 5.1.1 works very well on my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 (2013). It took Google longer than it should to get to a reliable and stable Lollipop release, but they got there eventually. The only serious complaints have been from owners of the first generation Nexus 7 (2012), a device that is a bit of a lemon, having had memory management issues since day one.

It's been a disaster for my tegra note. I've switched it on at 4.30 pm, by the time it finished optimizing apps, it is now on 64% after 28 minutes. This is from a tablet that lasted 4 hours without a charge on the way up to alton towers a week ago, when it was on 4.4.2.


I will try to do a factory reset later but I don't hold outmuch hope.

What an inane comment when the bricking of many 2013 devices is well documented.

Quote:
“Users with issues report their issues on Google’s Forum but also on Twitter. Although the recent update doesn’t give problems for all users, a fairly large amount of users report their Nexus 7 is bricked after updating to the latest Android version. After installing the update, the device doesn’t want to start anymore. Even booting to recovery mode doesn’t help for many users.

Although most problems are reported about the Nexus 7 (both the 2012 and 2013 model), also Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 report boot issues after the Lollipop update. It’s unclear how many users are affected because Google and Asus haven’t responded to the complaints. Therefore it’s also not known what causes the issues and when they will be resolved. Because users report several symptoms it’s possible that there are several underlying issues.

Besides the boot issues, users also report other problems with their Nexus devices after the Lollipop update. Some report their device has become so slow it’s almost unusable. Also non-Nexus users report their device has Wifi issues or has become unstable after updating to Lollipop.”

Mine 2013 N7 has stayed on Kit Kat 4.4.4, where it works extremely well.

Sorry to hear you too have had serious issues with lollipop.

There are certainly a lot of Nexus owners about nowadays who really should have stuck to something a lot less challenging and altogether simpler. The Nexus range used to be for developers and those people who wanted to be up to date with the latest software. Not for those who are too afraid to ever update their device, or too incompetent to be able to do it.

Yeah.......there's just one thing you're forgetting. The item was built with the mass market in mind. The kind of people who want to click and go, and not be saddled with some weird issue when they install an "upgrade".

I mean, y'know, the vast majority wouldn't even know what a factory reset was, let alone why it should be necessary to do one. When you buy a TV you don't expect to need TV repair mechanic knowledge, and it's kind of the same with a tablet. The end user shouldn't require advanced computing skills in order to be able to operate the sodding thing. All they want to do is watch you tube, play games and access their bank account etc

By the way, minus lollipop, the nexus isn't challenging at all. It's brilliant and very simple to use.
