Just got my OTA update. I went straight to 5.0.2 lollipop from 4.4.4 kitkat. Hope all the major bugs are worked out in this version.
I've posted my generally positive experience with Android 5 on a Nexus 4 several times in this thread but the more I use it the more slow and unstable it seems to become. As I mentioned earlier I was part of a group affected by a bug which seemed to disable all audio (mic and speaker) during voice calls. So when I called someone or they called me, I couldn't hear them, they couldn't hear me, it sounds like a dead line after having rung normally. That was probably the single biggest issue, resolved with frequent restarts. There is a general slowness to the device, lag on keyboard inputs, and on screen commands. This has become much more pronounced. I can get a couple words ahead by typing or swyping on the keyboard quickly. I also experience scenario's where the phone wont wake. It will be in a sleep state for instance if it has been sitting on my desk. I will attempt to wake it by pressing the power button and nothing happens. It will remain asleep regardless of keypress unless I hold the power button for a long time, which then forces a reboot.
So - hopeful that they can resolve these issues on older devices. Otherwise I'll have to look at upgrading because right now the user experience is terrible.
I received a notification on my Nexus 7 (2013) that the Android 5.0.2 update has been downloaded. I'm kind of afraid to install it -- can any Nexus 7 users give me some feedback?

Upgrading is never a painful experience, everything goes over just fine.I have the notification now too, on my 2013 N7. Am holding off until I feel reasonably sure upgrading won't be a painful experience. If there is a way back to KitKat, then I might roll the dice. Otherwise, why fix what ain't broke?

Maybe Hotspot or WiFi Direct? Does it disappear if you turn WiFi off?
Just put 5.02 on my HTC M8. What's this house icon on the status bar for? I can't seem to find any reference to it:
