CC and Lollipop

AlexBell · 12-08-2014, 06:41 PM

I have a Nexus 7 and have no problem running CC. So far as I know it has the latest Android and latest CC.

No problems for me either and I'm new to CC (but not Calibre). Windows 7 and latest Android and latest CC.

Only a very small % of Nexus 7's have Lollipop (Android 5.0) and even fewer have the bug fix, version 5.01. I'm anxiously waiting for it, but the reviews are sketchy, and it's not unlikely that it could be contributing to CC issues...although I have seen no data to directly link it.

Been running 5.0.1 on my Nexus 7 (2013) for almost a week. No issues with CC connectivity nor with the performance of Lollipop in general. The device is faster, more responsive/intuitive than the day I bought it (the switch from dalvik to art I suspect). Aesthetically speaking, the colors of the Material theme make me want to gouge my eyes out, but other than that ... I don't have a single issue with Android 5.0.1 (or with CC running on it). I haven't even bothered to re-root the device yet.

that is good to hear...

I have had Lollipop (5.0.0) on my Nexus 7 (2012) and my Nexus 5 for 2 or 3 weeks. CC runs fine on both. Lollipop works well on my N5.

My N7 is another story. To be blunt, Lollipop is a disaster. The tablet is so slow that sometimes I must wait for 30 seconds for a tap to be recognized. It spontaneously reboots once or twice per day. Last night it rebooted 3 times when I tried to watch a youtube clip 3 times (not 4!). Today it rebooted when I tried to scroll a page in Chrome. It has turned my general purpose tablet into a boat anchor (for tiny boats). If there was an easy way to revert I would.

A friend at Google tells me that a factory reset then loading a minimum of applications will help. I haven't tried that yet.

FYI, here are the Google Play installation percentages for CC by Android version as of 7/Dec:

Code:

Android 4.4		47.32%
Android 4.2		13.88%
Android 4.1		13.01%
Android 4.0.3 - 4.0.4	 9.84%
Android 5.0.0		 7.23%
Android 4.3		 5.76%
Android 2.3.3 - 2.3.7	 2.32%
Android 3.2		 0.44%
Android 3.1		 0.13%
Android 2.3		 0.03%
Others			 0.04%

The Nexus 7 2012 is slow to start with. Since my 2012 Nexus is 3G and my 2013 Nexus is LTE they will probably be late to get the updates. I didn't get the ota to 4.4.4 until a few months ago on my 2013. Sometimes that's a good thing.

DiapDealer · 12-09-2014, 11:53 AM

I freely admit I wiped my N7 (2013) and went directly to the downloadable 5.0.1 factory image. I just don't trust OTA updates for anything other than updates within the same major release number. Been stuck with those "boat anchors" too often to mess around any more.

Booting to recovery and wiping the cache partition (keeps all user data) is always wise after an update, too.

But I've got "starting over" down to a science!

I'd actually forgotten about CC this time around, though.

Was ecstatic to find out it installed and worked with no issues.

That is a truly painful option. Before you do that, try wiping the cache partition:

You can install it manually:

I installed the 5.0.1 OTA update on my Nexus 7 (2013) earlier this evening. Not had time for it cause me any trouble yet.

ditto for me - anyone figure out how to change the Material theme without jailbreak, please post.

and here is a surprising article dated today (8 Jan.) showing use of Lollipop is STILL tiny. I have to wonder if something is up...

PeterT · 01-08-2015, 09:51 AM

Well I think part of the issue is that Lollipop rollouts from the device makers is slow,

I'm a Nexus 7 (2012) owner and while there have been sporadic reports of some people getting the OTA upgrade, those are few and far between.

chaley · 01-08-2015, 09:57 AM

I received 5.0.2 OTA on my N7 2012 yesterday. It is working much better.

FYI: lollipop has a significant CC installed base:

Code:

Android 4.4		47.16%
Android 4.2		13.29%
Android 4.1		12.32%
Android 5.0		9.69%
Android 4.0.3 - 4.0.4	9.39%
Android 4.3		5.33%
Android 2.3.3 - 2.3.7	2.22%
Android 3.2		0.42%
Android 3.1		0.12%
Android 2.3		0.03%
