Me neither. Gotta justify buying a Samsung somehow I guess

That's easy...best hardware out.

Not all apps though.

Only the crappy apps by slow and lazy developers don't get updated straight away

When is this rolling out for the Nexus 4?

Geffen · 16 Mar 2015 at 13:02

How is lollipop on the SG4? Trying to decide if it worth installing

The S4 has 5.1 already!? Or are you on about 5.0.1?

AndroidPolice said its mainly SIM card fixes

So does anyone have any idea why the 5.1 update for the 2013 Nexus 7 still is not out yet? Are Google having problems getting it working OK? :confused:

Would also like to know this, my mother is about to start using my old N4 but I'd rather it be updated before she does.

On 5.0.1 ota on my s4 and I've just checked my battery 53% with 3 hours 50 min screen on browsing, this is far better, like double, than I was getting before

5.1 is out for the N7 2013 at long last, just installing it now

Glad this is finally out for the Nexus4, was holding out for 5.1, and am just wiping and flashing from scratch. Been a couple of issues where the phone was just completely non-responsive, required power button to be held. Been using an iPhone 4S for the last week!
Hoping this will sort things out, and if not, I guess I'll try CM12 before looking for replacement.

Still quite impressed with how the 2012 Nexus7 is holding up, it's way past its prime, but still struggling on.

5.1.1 factory images for the Nexus 7 (2013 Wi-Fi), Nexus 7 (2012 Wi-Fi), and Nexus 10 are out:

I wonder why the Nexus 9...a newer device is left out.

djabs786 · 1 May 2015 at 17:15

At a guess I'd say the differences between other devices generally having Qualcomm chipsets and with the Nexus 9 having a nVidia chipset.

kona786 · 1 May 2015 at 17:17

Nvidia... Like the one in the 2012 Nexus 7?

Poor show really whatever the excuse.

NeedAUsername · 1 May 2015 at 17:19

N7 2012 has Nvidia, N7 2013 has Qualcomm. Chipsets shouldn't matter for a company of Google's size. They all seem to have ARM tech underneath anyway.
N9 is a poor tablet for the price, probably didn't sell well so its not their priority.

Just updated to 5.1.1 from 5.1 and it definitely seems snappier. Xposed is working on it too, so i'm happy!
