Android 5.0 Lollipop still has a lot of issues as Nexus users continue to report additional problems.
Along with deleted apps and slow performance issues, reports suggest Nexus 9 and Nexus 6 issues could be caused by the platform's encryption. The bad news is users can't turn off the feature.

The performance mishaps of the Nexus 6 is said to be due to the FED (Full Disk Encryption) feature of Android 5.0 Lollipop.
While this feature has been around since Honeycomb, Lollipop's set-up enables it by default. When enabled, all disk writes have encrypted information before commitment.
All reads have decrypted information before going back to the processor, as well. FDE was found to have significant penalties that caused a 62.9 percent drop in read performance.
Google's Android 5.0 Lollipop gained a lot of attention, particularly after leaked screenshots showed radical changes. The new operating system update was then hit with unexpected complaints upon its release, especially on the Nexus 6 which comes with the most powerful and newest mobile chipsets.
Nexus 6 has 3 GB of RAM optimized specifically by Google to support the new Android 5.0 Lollipop.
The Nexus 5 Android developer preview showed the claimed two to 10 times improvement in the storage performance results of Androbench has no any real basis. The benchmark relied on a different function for timing, which changed with Android 5.0.
According to Anandtech, its review that includes the normal storage performance results is no longer valid under the Lollipop update. It claims in spite Androbench being an imperfect test platform, it provides accurate basic storage performance results.
