Why would you use AirDroid instead of Pushbullet?

So I got a replacement Nexus 5 from Google that came with Jelly Bean installed. I set up the phone and let it do a OTA update to 4.4.4 and....thats it. It won't update to Lollipop. I've been turning it on at least once a day for it to ping the update servers but its doesn't seem to make a difference.

Is there anything I can do to force the update without connecting it to a computer? I was just wanting to play around with 5.0 before I sold the phone. And when I do sell it I don't want the buyer coming back to me asking for a refund because it won't do updates anymore.

Lollipop on the Nexus 5 is still broken, wait for 5.0.3.

Ugh. I just got this Nexus 6 and made the mistake of CJing it. I unlocked, removed the oem ringtones, boot screen, all that jazz.

Set it all up. Set up all 5 two factor authentication accounts. Good phone. Then I rebooted to relock the bootloader. Big mistake.

I reboot and am greeted by the new setup screen. All that work, I now have to do again.

Good god google, why do you have to suck so bad.

NEVER CJ A PHONE. IT'S NEVER WORTH IT.

Should've used BootUnlocker.

It turns out the LG G3 is $49 for new lines of service only. So really it comes down to $199 G3, $249 Nexus 6, or $299 Note 4. I chose the Note 4. It will be here later this week.

The correct answer was to use the money to eat whatever ETF your contract with loving Sprint has and get something cheap like a Moto G on an actual network.

It's a media thing. Has to be able to run the latest Android OS at any given time in that span without an incident that'll leave me with a problem that'd slow down my workflow when I'm away from my computer, run Photoshop Touch/Express, among other things. The quick charge, too is a draw that would solve a lot of problems for me at trade shows, etc.

I am also in the media. Whatever you think you need to be doing with your phone that has crazy chip/power requirements, you don't need to be doing with your phone.
