Thanks.

What error does it say?

Maybe you accidentally logged out of Google account. All those you mentioned need signing in to Google account to work.
Go to Settings > Accounts > Google try and see.

@.@ In my opinion, it's never a bad thing to update to the latest version of the OS.

In this case, we should all the more update to Lollipop since there are promised improvements in battery life and smoothness.

From past experience, I think it is about 2 to 3 weeks after it is officially announced. Meaning it's 2 to 3 weeks from yesterday.

Relaaaaax. 2-3 weeks is still fast compared to some other manufacturers that go up to 6 months-1year to get an update.

Google servers may not be able to cope 300MB for every Nexus device out there.

Hi all,

Are you spamming the Update button yet?

Wifi, yes. 3G can't be long now. Today? Tomorrow? Fingers crossed.

I got mine locally. About 1.5 years ago, I think.

First of all, your PC will need these:
1) Google USB Drivers
2) Minimal ADB and Fastboot
3) Lollipop image
For ease of use, make sure points 2 and 3 are in the same folder.

Apparently, the images cannot be sideloaded. It has to be flashed instead. In other words, your data will be lost.

Here's the steps I followed:
1) Open the Command Prompt in Windows and navigate to the folder that ADB and Fastboot are installed in. Again, if you installed the full SDK, it’s in the C:\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools folder. Just type cd\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools. If it’s somewhere else, just navigate to it. Note: To make things easier so you don’t have to type out long directories, you can also paste it by pressing ALT and the Space Bar, then choose Edit, followed by Paste.

2) Assuming your device is already connected to your computer via USB and USB Debugging is enabled, you need to start it in fastboot mode. Follow one of the two methods below.
A) Type adb reboot bootloader
B) Turn your device off, then turn it back on while holding down the relevant key combinations for your device. For many devices it’s Volume Up + Volume Down + Power. You can see what your device’s key combinations are here.

3) The fastboot menu should appear and you should see “Start” in the top right. Press Volume Up till it changes to “Recovery.” Press the Power button to select it.

4) You will see an Android with a red exclamation point icon, press Volume Up and the Power button at the same time.

5) You will get a new menu. Navigate to apply update from adb and select it by pressing the Power button.

6) In the CMD window (make sure you are in the right directory), type: adb sideload [the full name of the file].zip (Note: without the brackets around the file name). If your device isn’t recognized, see below.

7) The update will install and reach 100%.

Step 6 didn't work for me (since it's sideload). I did this instead (from Google's page):
6. Execute the flash-all script. This script installs the necessary bootloader, baseband firmware(s), and operating system.

Hope that helps. Good luck.

I'm currently having the same problem. Maybe. Now, when I plug in, the unit charges, if I'm lucky. If I'm unlucky, when plugged in, it will continue to discharge. Ugh. Apparently this is a normal issue due to USB contact. Not sure if you are having the same problem.

If you still have some juice, install this to check power input:

In case this is your problem, own self fix as follows:

I haven't fixed mine yet. Hope that helps. Good luck.

Alternatively, the charging dock for the N7 will 'solve' this problem.

No, what he meant was no need wait for OTA. Just flash straight to 5.0 yourself.

But I heard reports that 5.0 OTA was taken offline. Not sure if this is accurate. You may wanna wait for 5.0.1 OTA instead.

Lollipop 5.1 coming soon.

I replaced the USB part myself. Didn't notice much about the battery when taking the back off. Hmm...

Battery was not charging properly. It's a 'common' defect for the Nexus 7. It took me forever to charge my battery. Sometimes I plug in the battery still does not charge. Sometimes I turn off, plug it in, it still does not charge.

Maybe yours is not battery problem. Try what I did. Install Battery Monitor Widget and monitor charging levels (mA) when it is plugged in. Before changing the USB, the value is -ve even when plugged in; after changing, the value is about 1000 mA when plugged in.

PS: You'd still need to purchase the new USB.

4-5 hours from low battery sounds about average. Remember, the Nexus 7 tablet has a big battery, not like smartphone charge 2-3 hours can d.

Bro, that is not normal d. Even if playing heavy games while charging, it will still charge provided you're using the stock 2mA charger. If you're using other lower capacity charger, then discharge during usage may happen. Will also result in slower charging.

Try install the Battery Monitor widget just to monitor and double check.

Dropped Nexus 7 2012. Screen cracked and not responsive jor.

Any suggestion on what to do next? To repair or not to repair?

1/3 of the screen is responsive. 2/3 of the screen not responsive.
What does that mean? No need to replace digitizer?
