Once I tried applying the OTA and as soon as it started, had a change of mind and force rebooted. Since then it didn't prompt me for updates. Try at your own risk :P
 
My brother updated his nexus 5 to 5.0.1 and as many users have reported, there is issue with setting a custom song as ringtone on his phone. The phone shows something like this..

Ringtone - ABCD Song

But when the call comes, it plays the default notification sound as ringtone which is hardly audible. But he can set the inbuilt ringtones in the phone (google provided) as ringtones fine.
 
Well, considering so many issues with Nexus 5 and Lollipop, this can be considered quite a small issue, and that too, non-serious. Your brother would be lucky if he does not encounter any other issues.

I guess, it might depend on other factors too.. because of which people face issues.. the apps they have installed on their phones... settings... etc.
 
No reboot issue now. It was for only two or three days. So am going to consider it as 'power button' problem, not lollipop. Glad that I didn't have to go back, really liking lollipop.
 
Glad to know.

I am sort of confused whether to go for Lollipop or not... keep reading conflicted reviews about 5.0.1.

One mind says to wait for the new version.. while other says to update it. It's a possibility that I might not run into issues if I update, because I haven't really started using phone yet, and so, all should go fine, without any new apps installed, or any changes made to the phone.

It's a possibility that many people face the issues, because the update is done over the top of current OS, and also, there are many apps installed, one of which can create the problems.

Does anyone know, if I decided to update, and then ran into issues, and then decided to flash the original ROM again, will it violate the warranty? I am guessing, it will.

You guys must have read the news that Android 5.1 has arrived on the scene, and will be available on Android One, and also in phones in Indonesia. Waiting for official response from Google. Hope it arrives soon.

I had a question in mind, which I asked on XDA forums... wanted to know that, if I do not update to Lollipop 5.0.1, and instead decided to wait for a new update, will I get a notification for the new update, even if I have not performed the current 5.0.1 update?

Did not receive a confirmed answer for that. They said that even if the new version arrives, you still have to perform the previous update... means, it will be sequential.

That makes sense, and I do not have a problem with that. However, I wonder whether I will get notification about the new update when it comes, even if I do not update the current version.

Also, for those of you, who were interested in making the update notification go away, one or two methods have been described on XDA. Can provide you link, if you are interested.
 
I would update to lollipop. Percentage wise less people have problems with it. Lollipop got good useful features, it replaced many of my apps.
Coming to going back if you don't like it, you certainly can with warranty http://thedroidcafe.com/flash-nexus-5-lollipop-update-keep-warranty/ on mobile, could not find option to shrink the link.

I think the same that you might not get the notification for the next update. But you will get to know from any of us when it starts to roll out.

edit: I suggest you to unlock the boot loader, install cmw/twrp , root and start taking nandroid backups. You can always relock bootloader and gain warranty.
 
Well, I updated to Lollipop 5.0.1 today. Let's see :P...[DOUBLEPOST=1423556336][/DOUBLEPOST]Updated to Lollipop 5.0.1 last night. So far, so good. But, I guess I won't know the real impact of Lollipop on the phone, until I start using it full time. Hope to start using it soon.

Started using Nexus 5. The phone is behaving nicely. I have only the essential apps installed. I don't like to install a lot of apps, and I do not try many apps too. Pleased with the phone.

Android 5.1 has been released officially today. So, will be looking forward to it, and hope it arrives soon. Had been waiting for it from a long time. It was first rumored to be released February end, and then in March first week. Well, glad that it was released finally. Hope that it solves the many issues that the Nexus 5 users have been facing.
 
I got the Android 5.1 update with the latest build, LMY47I yesteday night. Really surprised as I wasn't expecting it this soon. Updated it last night itself, and the phone is working without issues. There were no issues on my phone with 5.0.1 too.

My cousin continues to face issues with 5.0.1, and is awaiting the 5.1 update. Hopefully, he should get it soon.
