What happens after Lollipop (Android 5) upgrade on my LG Nexus 5:

Bad-side::

1. Some of the apps crapped up, so you cant even launch these apps until the app developer upgrade them.

2. When you are in 4G/3G and move into your own WIFI (office/home), it doesnt get on WIFI seamlessly. At time, under my WIFI coverage, I realise that my nexus 5 is still using mobile data. It burst my mobile data quota for the last billing cycle.

3. It is a battery drainer..... very bad... it used to be able to last slightly over 1 day, now it will die before i can reach home.

Plus-side.

1. the GUI has improved alot better than I have expected. =)

1. Never experienced it

2. Never noticed it as well, but I don't use 4G on my N5, still on 3G with 12GB data. My last billing cycle usage was around 7GB, still can't exceed my 12GB limit yet.

3. I charge 2-3 times a day, same as when using KitKat

4. Experience UI stuttering and lag from time to time

Always do a wipe cache partition after any OS update/upgrade. :D

My Nexus 5 is more than a year old now and I am still enjoying it a lot. Usually I would upgrade when a new Nexus phone arrives - but not this time as the Nexus 6, with its 6" screen, just scared me off! I wish Google will launch a new Nexus 5 upgrade (Nexus 5S) - with the same size 5" screen but with the latest hardware!

same...i got all the nexus prior and always preorder the first thing google announced a new one...but for nexus6, i am still not yet convinced to order one....as it's too big, too expensive (for a nexus) and doesn't seems like a substantial upgrade enough for the price.

The nexus 5 is still perfect in my eyes.
