Nvidia Shield Tablet Lollipop Performance Tips Android 5.0 . Here are some fixes and observations on where we are getting performance bottle necks.

1. If you upgrade to Lollipop you MUST do a factory reset especially if you installed any apps like Facebook before the upgrade;
2. Data being written to internal memory or SD causes slow downs and laggy response times (nothing new in that – slow sequential writes are common on Android devices);
3. Lollipop memory leak or poor task handling, system will after X hours start to become less responsive – seems like a bug, use a task killer or cold reboot the device to get performance back;
4. Encrypting the system hurts write speeds and makes number 2 even worse. Do not use encryption if you care about performance;
5. Reserved.

Anyone got any other observations or tips? ****

BT & EE bidding war for O2. UK news today is that O2 is for sale and both BT and EE are in discussions to acquire the UK network.

For BT this will give a perfect way to beef-up its user base for mobile, for EE access to increased spectrum to deliver 4G.

It’s going to be interesting to see who wins O2 in the end, my bet is BT. ****
