Constant rebooting after installing recent leaked OTA tonight

As titled, I installed the leaked OTA tonight for the 720p recorder, boot animation, etc. It did reboot 3 times initially right after the update but I was expecting that.
I waited about 30 minutes for good measure and then restored all of my apps and data with Titanium. Ever since then my phone has been rebooting itself for no reason. I have noticed that it does it more when I am launching certain programs. For a while it was just rebooting one right after the other and the home screen never came available, it just had a Loading... notification. Once it finally did load the home screen it looked like the Weatherbug was struggling to load and as soon as I click on it, the phone shuts off.
I uninstalled the app and it hasn't been rebooting as much but for a phone that has never ever had one problem I'm kind of inconvenienced by this.
Has anyone else out there experienced anything like this where the phone just keeps rebooting? It's like every minute I was hearing "Drooooid."
Any intuition on the subject would be appreciated tremendously.
Worse case scenario I have to do a Nand restore I guess...

Why update to something that hasn't been officially released?

Also GPS enabled makes it reboot. Guess there is no salvaging this one. I'll be waiting for Froyo to come OTA. Screw all this nonsense

Why flash a rom? Why root?
The reboots are caused by seomthing you restored in Titanium, not the OTA.

I figured as much, but at this point its going to be easier to just wait for the official update. I got my taste of it for now. I do like the news widget though on the update. Good stuff
Hey werent you from Android forums?

I posted a nandroid backup of stock post ota, its way down this thread by now. Try downloading and restoring it to see if that can fix ur problems, just be careful what u restore with titanium.

yeah. just do a fresh wipe and use the phone for a while to see if you get reboots. it is most likely an app causing the issue.

Waiting
I apparently rooted my phone without knowing about it because unrevoked.com makes it waaaay too easy.
After installing the leaked OTA, my wifi, gps, bt, and camera stopped working. Thank the lord almighty I created a nandroid backup.
Based on the rumor from droidedup this morning that they are halting these OTA updates for a couple of weeks and releasing Froyo, I suggest you unroot, go back to your previous version and wait for Froyo.

I did do a nand backup before I pushed the OTA so I had something to revert to and now my phone is back to full functionality.
Yes, undoubtedly we have all heard about Froyo 'coming soon,' but again I will believe it when I see it and there's no chance of me unrooting before the update is officially out.
And I know a lot of people are claiming that they're going to wait until unrevoked can "fix" it (froyo) for those root users, but not me. I'd rather have Froyo and no root than the opposite. It's like waiting for Christmas morning and then when everyone else is opening up their goodies, you unwrap an IOU that says "we're still working on yours."
Not me.
Sorry, Charlie.
Lol, I'm sure they will figure out how to root again, if its any different of a process at all. Hopefully HTC realizes that a lot of people are chosing their handsets over Motorola simply because their phones can be rooted. Why mess with a good thing?

[Q] ICS still no update in UK Acer fail

I was under the impression that the roll out for the update should end today the 4th may why has my tab not been updated does anybody no when all the a500 tabs across the world should get the OTA update is there a end date just like the start date

I'm also rocking a UK A500 and still no ics update. Got a reply from Acer Support UK telling me to do a factory reset if I'm not getting the update even after installing the Enhancement software. Right now,I'm done trying to get the update OTA. I'll wait till I get the chance to root the device then install a stable working custom rom,though might take me a three months before I get to it. As I've heard,custom roms do require patience

A500 in DK still no ICS either
This plain sucks

Try to wipe the system, is easy - hold down the volume up, keep ... hold down the power button, hold, and when appears ACER, cringe-screen lock back and forth .... see the caption in the upper left corner of the screen, the tablet automatically goes into reboot and as soon as appears ACER, pinch and hold the power button to turn off completely devaysa .... then repeat the whole procedure twice more. After the last wipe carve plate holding the power button, and from off his run on the firmware of the stock by holding the volume down rekaveri power button ... update.zip course you should already be on the microSD root. After the firmware again and then do a wipe already use 3.2.1 ... Next install ICONIA TAB Update Enhancement and wait for the arrival of ICS.

I heard the update was pulled out as there were a lot of complaints, not sure if this is true...though.

hi everyone,
just received this update version in Australia and it seems to be fine, no issues at all with WiFi or home screen, have tested all the apps and seems to be good.
i noticed acer withdraw all the updates for about a week, which i think they went back and fixed all the bugs in the package then re-released it just recently again.
so from my end all good to update to this version with this file name from acer.
Acer_A500_041.203.01_COM_GEN1
thanks!

All I can say is your bloody lucky...... its the 14th May here and STILL no ICS update. Seriously thinking of selling the bloody thing and switching to a different brand.....Acer's customer support is non existant.

I also think your lucky, I am thinking of going back to Honeycomb, wifi comes on when it decides, some apps do not run, cant see any improvements in ICS ota.

If you are experiencing issues after an ICS upgrade then you should carry out a factory reset (as stated many times in here). I updated to ICS three weeks ago and am experiencing absolutely no issues whatsoever.

[Q] New AT&T Update Ruined G2

I downloaded the G2 update yesterday from AT&T.
I'm not rooted, but this update is even worse than the one before. The battery life is completely ruined.
I noticed that usually my phone had 550MB of RAM left with the previous update. Now it's idling at around 450MB.
Not only that, just browsing on simple sites on Chrome will turn my phone warm to hot. The battery life percentage starts depleting rapidly. Roughly 1% for every 90 seconds or so. It's really frustrating since one of the selling points of the G2 was the battery life-- And every subsequent update has worsened the battery life while updating really little.
What can I do?

Root and flash dorimanx kernel

I was more wondering if I could revert to the stock 4.4.2 before this horrible update.

Bumping.

Hey bud. I don't exactly know how the AT&T version works, but if you follow the "Go back to stock"-guide and use a earlier kdz file, you SHOULD be able to get an earlier version of kitkat, maybe without knock code, but I don't really care about that personally.
I'm guessing that they want you to upgrade to a G3 so that they earn money.

Do NOT update to it. Literally the worst update. The RAM usage has kicked up by 100-200 MB.
It's still 4.4.2. It only updated a few, unnoticeable things.
I really want to revert to the previous KitKat version with Knock Code. I cannot deal with this update. My phone starts becoming warm after browsing for a few minutes using the Twitter or Facebook app. It is that bad.
Please, someone help me out here. I'm so frustrated with this update that I'm half-tempted to just use AT&T Next program to get the LG G3.

No luck. It upgraded me without even warning around 2 p.m. In the middle of the freaking day. That really makes me mad because what if I needed to get a phone call or my wife needed to get ahold of me or something? I don't think that this should be legal for carriers to do this.
In either case I'm also noticing heavier than normal battery drain with this update but I'm going to give it about a week to see if the battery settles back down before I revert back to 4.2.2.
If you're sure that you want to get rid of this update I think what you should be able to do is to revert to stock 4.2.2 and then let yourself upgrade until you get to the version right before this and freeze the software update app. Have you reverted to stock before? I did it once when I had to return the phone to AT&T because of a battery defect and it was pretty straightforward.

I have no idea on how to revert. I've never rooted my G2.

It's pretty straight forward. Here's the video I watched to do it: How to Unbrick or Restore the LG G2 ATT Version: http://youtu.be/kqw_LFuyHbE
Watch the whole thing and let me know what you think. It's pretty easy actually. All of the tools that he's using I got from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

Just for everyone's info, I downgraded to 4.4.2 D80020c and then manually updated to D80020u and froze the system update app as I don't like the most recent update (D80020y).
Let me know if you need help doing this.

[Q] What's the verdict on Lollipop for SM-G900W8?

I just received the OTA for Lollipop for my SM-G900W8, but I'm holding off on installing it. I've read some pretty negative feedback on it (e.g., Verizon), as well as from some Nexus 5 owners who say it's very unstable. If you are a running on a Canadian network, particularly Bell Mobility, your feedback is appreciated.
Also, did you have to clear the cache or do a reset?
Is there a way to delete a pending OTA update? I'm worried it will install next time I reboot the phone and I don't want that to happen until I'm ready.

+1 I'm with Rogers btw

I am also a Rogers customer...
I never received notice of the update and when trying through Kies, and checking update through the phone it showed my 4.4.2 as current. In speaking with Rogers on line and in store, they tell me that 5.0 was pulled by Samsung due to bugs, yet Samsung won't confirm, other than Norway. Have been trying to update to 5.0 or at least wait til 5.1 comes, but not sure how I get my phone to do this automatically, without having to flash the firmware. Phone is unlocked, but never rooted.

I tried stock Lollipop a couple days ago. I went back to KitKat a day later. I wasn't a fan of the way it handled sound with the whole interruption system and such. And I often turn off just notifications while leaving everything else on but it was overly complicated to do that with the stock 5.0 rom. I had a couple force closures on apps that were never a problem before and it was just, well, not as responsive. Although that might've needed to take some time? The pop-up notifications thing was annoying (blocked part of the app I was in some times) and the task switcher was slow and cumbersome compared to the fast list in KitKat.
My thoughts, anyway. I think I'll wait for Google to mess with stuff. I get the feeling that they upgraded with good intentions but got a bit too carried away with their ideas. However, I am just one person so, you know, others probably liked it a lot.

Thanks for the replies. I didn't hear anything bad specifically for this model do I decided to give it a try. Installation was clean. No glitches at all. I'll keep an eye on battery consumption and report back. First impression is that Google got carried away with themselves making gratuitous changes.

I've gotten the update on my Bell Galaxy S5. There seems to be two issues: 1) Battery life. I've been getting 2-3hrs SoT only, while I was getting much more than that before. 2) Sometimes the call audio drops. I can't hear the other person and they can't hear me, but if you call back it seems to work? It's really hit or miss. Currently investigating the battery problem but it seems to be some sort of wakelock caused by PowerManagerService.WakeLocks and PowerManagerService.Display. GSAM reports that Kernel is taking up 40% of the battery.

It's been over a week with lollipop. There was another update a couple days after I upgraded. There are a few things I don't like, but it seems to be working pretty well.

*WARNING* RE-enable OEM Bootloader Unlocking after Update!!!
Just a heads up and REMINDER to go into Developer Options and turn OEM Unlocking back on after the OTA update because it had turned mine back off after sideloading.

I wish I had my laptop set up so I could remote in from work right now and begin downloading the image.

I take it Root is still working?

Why not just get it over with and UNLOCK it? Once you are unlocked, the state of that checkbox is irrelevant.

If you don't unlock, and leave your bootloader unlocked it can. If you have the check box checked then the bootloader remains locked. So if you get caught with a bad flash or anything else that causes a bootloop there is no way to gain access to the bootloader and run fastboot.

Not off to a great start. I've had my 3rd crash triggered simply by browsing to the reddit nexus 9 board. Now it appears to be on a forced cache erase after the consecutive crashes.
From this we can safely say nobody in Google pays any attention the forum moaning otherwise they might have noticed this issue.

Anyone get an OTA for the LTE version yet? They haven't posted the factory images which scares me a little that LTE might get left behind. The 5.0.2 links went up for both at the same time.

Mine's still running really warm and it's losing power over USB just by being on. I'm watching the battery drain simply from the screen idling on Google Now. Come the **** on Google, heat and battery drain should have been primary concerns.
Edit: Fortunately though, it seems like the entire device is running buttery smooth, which is literally a first on stock Android for me. Even my Nexus 6 hiccups without a custom ROM and that has the S805 and 1 more GB of memory.

Still no OTA for LTE on 5.01 -> 5.02 ...
What the hell is Google doing... firstly releasing almost beta Lollipop that on our Nexus have serious issues.. after waiting and being the last device to be updated still no upgrade to LTE which is more expensive and deserves at least same support.
If our model is left behind, I will surely not buy a Nexus device ever again.

LTE takes time. I wouldn't worry about it. I bet factory images are up within a day or two. I'm an LTE owner too, so I'm in the same boat. I'm just happy it actually started rolling out, as it started to look like it wasn't happening. This is a much bigger update than 5.0.1 -> 5.0.2

Updated this morning. So far so good

So far, it's definitely an improvement on performance but it remains to be seen with this is another cache-wipe factor or something. One of the first-impression fixes is that the light sensor seems to actually work now, while it was almost useless before.
I noticed the stock kernel is now on 2,5GHz high and that both cores are allways on, which i am not sure if it was happening on 5.0.x. I remember Franco noticing it on Nexus 6 5.1 too, so i guess it's a common practice by google to not turn cores off anymore.

Well so far so good. I never had major issues before. OTA side loaded fine. Did a factory reset to set up fresh. Now that everything is set up I'm just waiting for it to charge completely. It did get warm installing and updating everything, but no issues so far. Everything went smoothly.

There's a new apk named 'Who Am I?' That is disabled by default in this update. Turns out it's a widget that literally shows you the time and what your name is. Maybe it's for people with dementia or short term memory.

The way things have been going, most of us might have needed that widget by the time this update got to us if we'd waited much longer.
