G+_Z Kam Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 "Android is upgrading..." Am I supposed to see that message every time I boot up Lollipop (after powering off my Nexus 5)? I've had Lollipop for over a week now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Neil Sedlak Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 You likely have ART enabled, and you can switch back to Dalvik to have it stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Z Kam Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 I thought ART was the default for Lollipop. I didn't change anything myself. Furthermore, when the Lollipop update happened, it took almost 30 minute to "upgrade" all my 300+ apps. Why is it still doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Neil Sedlak Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Sorry, I had my Droid Turbo hat on, for which this is a known issue. For the Nexus 5 there are a number of threads out there about this issue related to if the phone was rooted, if the update was side-loaded, or if Titanium Backup was previously used. If none of those apply, you could try wiping the cache in the boot loader, or at worst a factory reset (neither of which shows up as successful in any of the threads I read so be warned).

G+_Z Kam Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Well, that doesn't bode well. Prior to the Lollipop upgrade, the phone was rooted and I was a Titanium Backup user. Any particular place this is being discussed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Neil Sedlak Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Try a search for "android is upgrading every reboot nexus 5" and check the forum.xda-developers.com and forums.androidcentral.com links in the results. You might try a fix permissions and cache wipe, and/or uninstall Titanium then reboot twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Z Kam Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 I'm starting to wish I hadn't upgraded. I can't really think of a single must-have benefit to Lollipop. Instead I lost root and the ability to run Titanium and other rooted apps. I don't like the new multitasking (and the Last App Switcher app doesn't work). Crappier calendar and photo gallery, 30+ seconds to turn on WiFi, (and really long reboot time). Battery life is no better (and maybe worse - I'm sure the ugly white theme all over doesn't help) and I think I've even lost some sensitivity in my GPS. Can someone remind me how it's supposed to be an improvement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
