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.

Yesterday I got my nexus 5 and it came with 4.4.2. During
initial boot it did not ask for any update or else. The power
adapter is british one.
Does somebody have the same version as default?
Best regards all.
Obviously as Android versions get released with "bugfixes", they start releasing them from the factory on the latest software build.
What is the *real* question here? I assume you were building up to a bigger question?

I think he is asking why his phone came with Android KitKat 4.4.2 and not a newer version.

I was distressed since everybody started with 4.4.
None reported upgrade from the factory. As you
might imagine, the fear wrote my post.
Best regards and thanks.

i think what hes saying is that his phone came with 4.4.2 while he read that other peoples phones came with 4.4(and were later updated to 4.4.2). he wants to know if others are running 4.4.2. and yes op, 4.4.2 is what you should be running right now.

Correct.
All of you have a phone with 4.4 from the factory. I am the only one
with 4.4.2. I was aware of that and wanted to know if I got faked or
old phone.
Thanks all for reply.

new phones come with 4.4.2 already installed. it really depends when you buy it. if you are reading online, you are probably reading something older.
Mine came in Thursday 4.4.2 installed.

Got my white Nexus 5 about two weeks ago and it came with 4.4.2 as well 32gb model
I will order mine in a month and it will surely have 4.4.3
Ever since the latest update, maps navigation has been randomly freezing on me. Has anyone else encountered this?

Last update being Version 8.0.0 (#800001324)? That's what I'm on without any issues.

I saw on the Internet that KitKat 4.4.4 with security bug fixes has been launched only for nexus 5 through OTA but when I check for updates, the phone says your system is up to date. I'm running stock android 4.4.3 unrooted. Why is this happening? Any help regarding this?
P.S. - I don't want to update using factory images. Only using OTA. Want to know why my phone is unable to get the update.
Thank you

They roll out in stages. You'll have to be patient or check out the ota help in the general forum and download the ota zip

Floating around here are stock 4.4.4 zips you can flash.

Don't worry. I've not received it either. Google sucks with updates and gives absolutely no change log or support. Apple walks all over them in this area. I've read it may take two to three weeks for everyone to get it.

and thats why on update day at apple it takes 12+ hrs for the update to download because their servers are hammered.
pick your poison.
I'd definitely take the staged rollout. No question. Then again, I never wait for an ota. There are plenty of other options available if you're not patient enough to wait. Even waiting for the ota, you'll still get the update before most other devices. Some won't get it at all. Wait, or go a different route. Simple.

I don't understand why people who are so desperate for the update don't just install a custom recovery and flash the zip.
Or just adb sideload like a savage.

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
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
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.
