To those who have updated with a 32GB Nexus 5

Check your Storage space, mine again has reported 16GB. I had to go into recovery and Wipe Cache and Factory reset.

I restarted windows and closed all processes then the Flash all worked

Suggested an error but then flashed anyway.

I like it so far looks pretty neat feels smooth

Are you running a custom rom or have in the past? Had this issue on my Nexus 4 with some recovery back up taking up 12gb.

How does the phone feel with 5?

Took about 45 minutes to do a wipe on mine prior to installing the final build.... think it's because I'd encrypted the phone.

Feels even better than the last test version so far, apart from Skiplock not being compatible with it any more.

Really good, smooth and quick. Best android version so far.

Great. Absolutely love it. Google knocked this one out of the park.

So far battery life is pretty solid. Some basic usage over the last 2 hours with Wifi on the whole time still at 97%. Will report back tomorrow.

Found this: If flashing userdata results in your device's internal storage being downgraded to 16GB according to the OS, just do a full wipe in recovery, that should fix it. This is a bug caused by the userdata.img file being distributed by Google.

Super slick and smooth. All my apps work with it so far. Loving the dialler and contact list layout.
Still finding new stuff that I never spotted in the preview.

none of this needing sdk etc

You should check out QKSMS, best SMS app by a long shot especially in terms of appearance - I think it went public release last week?

Or Textra, which is...well, the same really

No slow down that the n6 has had reports of due to encryption?

Do we need to download the ADT bundle or just the SDK Tools? I've not done an update manually before.

I'm not 100% sure to be honest. Luckily I already have the SDK on my work pc

I just know you'll need the drivers and the adb.exe

Hmm, and will it still wipe the device?
