Google Lollipop Bricking Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 Devices

First time accepted submitter Zape (303550) writes The Lollipop update has turned sour for me and several other Nexus 7, Gen 2 (and Nexus 5) owners. It seems that I'm not alone in having my tablet boot to the Google Logo since a couple of days after updating to Android 5.0.2. Now Nexus 5 owners are reporting a reboot loop in Android 5.1. My device, like many others, is a couple of months out of warranty, but worked great until the latest OTA update from Google. They branded it, and they updated it, but Google claims it is between the buyers and ASUS, the manufacturer.

I don't trust or use eBay so I can not speak for them nor their pricing. I do use Amazon a lot. Okay, so I use Amazon way too much. Anyhow, when it comes to cables my first stop is here: https://www.cablesdirect.com/d... as they usually have good/great pricing on the cable(s) I require. They have great customer service where you can call them up and say, "So I have this funny looking cable with 18 pins and...." and they are great at helping you out. I am not affiliated but I am a fan and certainly recommend them - more so when they're non-standard cables. My spool didn't quite have enough left in it so I called them and they made me a 100' CAT6 for a very excellent price. I am not sure if the pricing was standard or if they cut me a deal because I have placed a lot of orders over the years and they know me by name from having just called in to get a cable name or whatnot. I've spent a good deal of money there over the years. The price has been right and the service has been unbeatable. There has yet to be a cable, and I have had some rarities, that they have not been able to find for me, Not all products are on the site, an example is I wanted a VIC20 power supply cable and it, obviously, was no longer on the site but they had a few in stock in the back room. They had three left, I bought all three. So, as I said, I am not affiliated but I am a very happy customer.
