Earlier versions had these problems with Facebook videos for me, but the newest versions I have been using have everything corrected and working great.

I do have call problems at times with cm12 on my M7. (ie randomly going to mute or on hold in the middle of a call.)

not so much playing videos.

i do have a few apps crashing, but i assume they just aren't fine tuned to lollipop yet.


dolphin is probably the biggest offender.

Not videos. But everyone is catching up. It will take time.

Are you trying to watch flash videos? Because that's not going to work. If it's flash content get Puffin browser and try that.

I haven't had any video playback problems on Lollipop ever.

I've been having textra issues, but I don't think they are Lollipop related.

Videos run just fine.

I've been underground for a week, still using the Elixr 5.0.1 hybrid. What are you using now?

That's weird, haven't heard of this across multiple apps. If you took the Lollipop update OTA and those apps were already installed it could be A conversion to ART issue. Try uninstalling the ESPN app and reinstall it from the Play Store. I would clear Cache and App Data before hitting uninstall.

I have watch espn and YouTube fixed. But not nbc sports. Emailed their tech support and they confirmed there was an issue. Guess I'll just have to wait it out.

Yeah, because it's androids fault when app developers are slow to update for compatibility.

Lollipop is fricking awesome.

I have noticed that some of the apps I've used on iOS have been slow to support Android 5.0, or it may be the Nexus 6 in general (recognizing it as a tablet instead of a phone). None of the huge developers or anything, but there was this one solitaire game I played that still won't run on my N6, and the Heads Up game my wife and I liked to play. There were a few others that I just found alternatives for.
