I tried the standard OTA update, it got half way and had an error.
Thankfully the device was still working though.
I tried that again, same problem.
No worries I think, I'll download the factory image from google and use that to flash the update manually.
It failed, not compatible!?!
Turns out this is a common problem google can't be arsed to fix.
I get an update for the update to fix that problem and try again.
Failed! I get a weird error that seemingly is related to using a USB3 port. Not only that but now my device is booting any more, I can only get to the bootloader to try and update again.
Try again, suddenly my device isn't recognised in windows any more, how the fuck am I supposed to update this thing now!?!
Try a different, better quality USB cable. Thank fuck windows sees the device again.
Try to update using another program.
Holy shit it works...
...but my 16Gb of internal storage has become 8Gb :(
Try again.
Same shit.
Finally find information that says to Lock and then Unlock the bootloader to restore the storage size (this was only found out by accident by a guy with the same problem)
Fuck me backwards and call me Vera, it fucking works!?! And it only took 2 days of fucking around!
Boots up to Android Lollipop (5.0.2)...
...Meh, I think I liked the old version better :S
I own a 12 dollar phone from WalMart. It sends and receives phone calls. Used it 2 times last month. That's about it. Oh, it costs 6.66 per month to do nothing.
I only got the Nexus 7 recently, bought used, and it had 4.4.4 on it.
My 3 year old Sony Xperia Pro Phone has 4.0.4, it's just about hanging in there but it may need replacing soon, so slow compared to the newer phones and tablets .
To be honest not much has changed from version 4.0 onwards, mostly just visual tweeks to menus etc. 5.0 onwards isn't much of a change visually, although the menus are all white now and not black, but under the hood it's a total rewrite and supposedly more efficient. Can't say I noticed much difference.
