Nexus 7 tablet slow to boot after upgrade.

by Jan 19, 2015 6:10AM PST

Last week my Nexus 7 tablet was upgraded from 4.xx to 5.xx. Every since then my boot time slowed from two minutes to four minutes. I tried removing everything from startup, but that only shaved about five seconds off the boot. It acts like it doesn't have enough RAM. Any thoughts or suggestions?

I have a Gen 1 32GB Nexus 7.

To remove delays and see what it does here I'll turn off my WiFi/BT for a boot time. Here goes:

Airplane mode boot time: 1 minute 15 seconds.

Seems fine here. I never times the boot time before so it feels about the same time.

If you have apps that want to call their mothership, well you know what to do.

Sorry I was unclear.

It's a Nexus 7 32GB Gen 1 that got the Lollipop 5.0.2 just a few days ago.

I keep it very clean, Storage reports 27.58GB Total space and Available is 24.50GB.
Device memory shows 915MB RAM and Free is 661MB.
