Nexus 7 owners complain about issues after updating their tablet to Android Lollipop, some report the update even bricked their tablet. Google and Asus have not responded to the issue.

Users with issues report their issues on Google's Forum but also on Twitter. Although the recent update doesn't give problems for all users, a fairly large amount of users report their Nexus 7 is bricked after updating to the latest Android version. After installing the update, the device doesn't want to start anymore. Even booting to recovery mode doesn't help for many users.

Although most problems are reported about the Nexus 7 (both the 2012 and 2013 model), also Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 report boot issues after the Lollipop update. It's unclear how many users are affected because Google and Asus haven't responded to the complaints. Therefore it's also not known what causes the issues and when they will be resolved. Because users report several symptoms it's possible that there are several underlying issues.

Besides the boot issues, users also report other problems with their Nexus devices after the Lollipop update. Some report their device has become so slow it's almost unusable. Also non-Nexus users report their device has Wifi issues or has become unstable after updating to Lollipop.
