Calling all Nexus 7 owners.

Me neither. I'm still on 4.4.4 - is that KitKat ?

Ha, since my post, it has updated to Lolipop 5.0.1
And I didn't even notice.

Yes, that's KitKat.

Mine updated to 5.0.2 the other day, no obvious problems other than the screen seeming slightly dimmer.
I preferred my phone before lollipop though

Mine updated last thing, wouldn't password unlock this morning without great difficulty - appears to be notification settings (and probably myMail) but fine once mail notifications are turned off. Display on auto brightness (or whatever it's called) was too dim - easily rectified in settings.

Terrible, absolute shite sending me mad.

Thanks for the headsup that 5.0.2 is going out. I found my tablet and turned it on again, it installed the update and is now feeling quite a bit snappier

Mines just updated to 5.0.2

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Mine has just offered to. Should I go for it?

Seems fine to me though I don't do much on it, mainly use it for surfing and kindle app.

It's an improvement on any previous 5.0.x but if you're still on Jelly Bean I would try and hold out.

My 2012 updated recently to 5.0.2 and apart from a annoying load screen its just a touch slower on wifi at the moment. Other than that its fine.

Mine updated to 5.02 (It's a 2012 model.) and it is a little better than 5.0 which basically slowed it to a crawl and made it unusable. Still not what it was on KitKat but at least it's not scrap. I'm still VERY P'ed off with Google for not testing this before it was launched and warning 2012 model users to refuse to update.

I'll not be buying a Google tablet again that's for sure.

It's not just Google. My iPad 2 ground to a halt after I installed iOS8 on it. I don't use that iPad much now luckily and after a couple of updates it's usable again.

Its not the s/w update that's the issue with N7 2012 devices, its the cheap memory used in its build. N7 (2012) had issues before Lollypop came along. Solution is to run F2FS as the file system and you have a machine that runs like one of the new ones!
