Just started getting notifications for the availability of this late this morning (U.S. Eastern time). Anybody have any experience with it, yet?

Hey I got a question for everyone I got a update for 5.1.1 on my motorola g 2013 which has 4.4.4 on it and I am wondering if the update performs well on the phone.

Fascinating. Nobody around here seems all that anxious to take the plunge. (Yeah, me neither.)

I don't have the LTE version, but the 3G (HSPA+) version and have 5.0.2. Take the plunge with 5.1, it's worth it! I'm really enjoying 5.0.2, and from everything I've read/heard 5.1 is much better.

Did it today and it seems to be working well,back to learning curve.

So I went ahead and did the upgrade a week ago Monday (yesterday). Took about 35-40 minutes, with the recommended cache partition clearing.

Other than UI changes: Honestly wouldn't have known there was any difference. Lost the WiFi/Bluetooth/GPS/Brightness widget. Seems about as fast/responsive as before. Battery life is, if anything, better.
