Android Lollipop for Nexus 7 has begun

ASUS Philippines has announced that both the Nexus 7 (2013), as well as its predecessor, the first gen Google Nexus 7, are among the first batch of devices that will receive the Android 5.0 update.

According to the company’s press release, the Android 5.0 update is expected to bring software-based improvements on both of these tablets which include OS’ “Material Design” scheme, as well as giving these slates an added layer of protection against malware and theft.

The Android Lollipop update will also add Bluetooth Smart to the tablets’ arsenal. This feature reduces the energy consumption when scanning and pairing with other Bluetooth devices.

ASUS Philippines said that the global roll out of the Android 5.0 for Nexus 7 has already started and users with the Wi-Fi only version should expect it to come any day now. The data-enabled variant, on the other hand, will get the update starting next month.

    Hi, am using nexus 7 2013, every time I check for update, the response is “your system is up to date”. So how do I upgrade to lollipop?

  2. xxiteruxx says:

    Still don’t have it. Maybe because my Nexus 7 2013 is rooted. :(

  3. Alvin says:

    Had it since the Factory Images were posted. :)

    I have nothing but problems with my Nexus 7 32gb 2013 bought in Wicked (Widget) City. For the first 5 months, the tablet is okay. But problem started appearing:

    1. LCD has some bluish dots and reddish pattern after 6 months.

    2. USB port become wobbly and I am not able to charge.

    3. Tried wireless charging, after 2 months, it refused to charge again. (happened this week)

    I suspected, the Nexus I got is a lemon. I can’t claim my warranty because Widget City refused to issue receipt (lost mine).

    Now, my tablet battery is dead.

    So long, Nexus 7.

      Try mo sa Asus Business Center sa Megamall. They can still countercheck it with the manufacturer warranty.

      Umabot pa yung akin nung pinapalitan ko yung screen ng Nexus 7 1st gen.

    • peeyaj says:

      If that’s only the case.. Pero nagresearch ako sa Internet (xda etc) and I found out na prone sa ganung problems yung first batch ng Nexus 7 . I am hoping na maayos pa yung tablet, kahit yung pagcharge nya lang. Sana me makayos sa may Greenhills..

      Looking forward pa naman sa Lollipop.

      Baka naman po sa paggamit niyo na ung may mali niyan kasi base sa sinabi niyo, after 6months na nagkaroon ng mga issue. .sa ganyang tagal eh impossible naman na factory defect pa rin yan kung maayos naman nung nabili mo. .

    Buti pa ang nexus 7, meron na. Kaming mga fonepad, hopeless…

  7. just_curious says:

    Sideloaded the OTA packages for the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 2013 last week. So far, good performance on both hardware with better battery life. G+ crashes sometimes when brought to the foreground.

    di ko gusto ang kulay ng lahat dyan
    wala bang option for darker colors?
    masakit sa mata ang puro puti na background
    pati ang pastel colors ng icons, pangit din

    ano 3rd party launchers naman gamitin?

  11. N7 says:

    installed kanina lang.. pero may ibang apps na nag-auto close pagkatapos ng ilang minuto.. tulad ng FB nag-browse lang sa feed biglang nag-close ang app..di pa cguro optimized ang FB at yung ibang apps sa Lollipop..hehe

    UI wise ok naman sya and tumatagal ang battery ngayon compared nung nasa kitkat pa..
