Honestly, not having a % is great I don't need to worry about battery life anymore since it normally survives a day.
That's how previous versions did it, yes. Possibly not implemented in the preview, or possibly a new & less annoying way to deal with it.
I think it's there but needs a terminal to enable, same as 4.4.

Yep. I am greatly disappointed by this. Should be as standard really.

Install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kroegerama.android4batpercent&hl=en allows percentage on Lollipop. You can un-install afterwards if you like.
I've used that before buy you need root to change the text colour. I want the percentage next to the battery icon like on Samsung devices.
This looks good though http://nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-t...home-button-doubles-as-battery-meter-0157965/
If I remember comments on the earlier preview, the text is actually in a usable colour now.
seriously on 442?
If you have no need for root you don't need to root the device (i dont and didn't), just unlock the bootloader and sideload the update then lock the device.
Android SDK download:

Dev preview image:

You can use Googles guide here on how its done, its the way i done it. Although it expects you to know a little about the ADB tool.

I've just noticed from this video that there is a batter % when you pull down the menu.
Why it cant be toggled on/off in the settings I dont know.

One question. When Kit Kat arrived the default sms program was Hangouts.
When Lollipop arrives, Im guessing it will do an upgrade, retaining existing settings and data.
The new default sms has been replaced in Lollipop. When the OTA does arrive on my device, what is going to happen to Hangouts? Will it remain in it's place and messanger will be in the app draw, or will messanger replace hangouts and inport all my sms and sent images etc?

What do we think about the battery performance on the Nexus 5 running Lollipop ?
Mine is on 50% having been unplugged at 9am this morning. Not much usage really. 1h 40m on screen time.
I had Google Now on yesterday and it was hitting the battery pretty hard.
