I'm on my second nexus 5 after the first one stopped working after updating it to 4.4.4.
So now I'm a bit nervous to re-update.
Has anyone experienced any big problems from doing the update?
There's always a risk that an update will "break" something. You have to be prepared to factory reset so keep your sdcard backed up.

Had one problem on 6 update to 4.4.4 (on 6 differents nexus 5) : Wifi stopped working on one, just after the update
Just generally curious. I want to sell my Nexus 5 to a relative and I am running the Lollipop preview. Should I expect it to get the official release OTA update? Whenever new previews updates were available, you would have to manually update the Nexus 5, so will we have to manually update the Nexus 5 to the official Lollipop update or will it receive the OTA like someone who wasn't running the preview would?

Thanks, just needed to know before I sold it so I can correct the issue.
Hi,
Just 2 days back I bought a nexus 5 and after unboxing, the software upgraded to 4.4.4. I am still waiting for the 5.0 update. Is this normal? I dont want to install any ROM or flash it. Does it take time for a new nexus 5 to get 5.0 via OTA?

Yes, it happens in batches. If you don't want to flash it yourself, you'll just have to wait.
Bro even I did buy a Google Nexus 5 a day ago and what was shocking to me is that it came preinstalled with android 4.4.4 and also I have not got the lollipop update

Why is that shocking? Do you think it just rolled off the production line or something?
It will have been made ages ago and just sat around in storage before you bought it.

Don't worry....it seems that Google removed 5.0 OTA.......i've the ota notification since a 10 days ago but now it says that my version is the last (4.4.4)
So it seems that is near to push 5.0.1 i think

They have not removed the OTA. It's delivered in batches. If you don't accept the update, you go to the back of the queue.

The queue waiting for 5.0. There is always a queue. Not all Nexus 5 have received or accepted the update. If you ignored the update, you go to the back of the queue whilst people who are still waiting for the update and actually want it, get a chance to download it.
Google servers cannot hit every device at once as there are too many. You get a notification when it's your time. Whilst your batch is having the notification, there are people in queue behind you. If you don't accept that update, you miss your slot and all the other people waiting get their chance. It will come back round to you again in time

Count yourself lucky..... ?
I received my phone today and I have the same issue; at least now I know that I'll have the possibility to update my phone in the future. Is there any difference between update it automatically or flash the update manually?

Why so? What is wrong with Lollipop? I used a N5 which had L that belonged to a friend of mine and honestly, was quite delighted by it.

I bought the nexus 5 today after Google announced production has stopped. Upgraded 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 but no 5.0. My nexus 4 received 5.0.1 today. Was wondering where is 5.0?

It's in space waiting for Optimus Prime.
Seriously though - this thread is not that long. Your question was replied to on the previous page already. Google sends updates in batches and not all at the same time. Not all N5s have received the update yet. If you are really anxious, just install the 5.0.1 factory image and stop waiting.
Edit: damnit @rootSU you ninja
It's january 5 and I still havn't got Lollipop 5.0 ota for my N5.
Am i the only one with this problem and why is it so? I'm a bit worried here.
Please help.
What's your location?
Sweden
Sideload it or flash a stock 5.0 zip. Worry over.

I haven't gotten it either. I think they stopped the ota updates due to bugs. I think they will begin again when 5.0.2 is ready (speculation) for our phones.

I was tired of waiting so i sideloaded ota 5.0. After that the ota 5.0.1 came directly.
Works perfect.

I did the same and also got the ota to 5.01 directly..
I got a N5 recently and OTA updates came up to 4.4.4. But have not received Lollipop yet.
Any reason why?

The very same thread pops up multiple times a day.
Its a rollout. It could come today, or it could come in a month. Flash/sideload it or stop complaining and wait.
