When trying to upgrade to android 5.0.1, it says that there is not enough space.
I understand this is not enough RAM?
On the phone RAM of 2 GB is free 1GB
that is, if only manually upgrade to 5.0.1?

Okay, android 5.0.1 does not want to be installed and okay, everything seems to work on the phone, especially somewhere on the Internet I saw a mention that officially 5.0.1 on nexus may not be installed.
and how do I turn off the reminder about updating the operating system?
found how to dohttps://toster.ru/q/158595, but the section as it was said - I did not find it in the phone, strangely, in the applications - not third-party, not working, not everything, or somehow it can be called something else?

[celtic610]

Celtic610 @ 03.24.19, 15:12

does not want to install android 5.0.1

This is what LG answered to me:
According to the screenshots you sent us, the phone memory is enough. This error may be associated with the work of the phone. If this update came automatically, and is official, we recommend that you reset the phone to its factory settings. If this update is official, after resetting the settings, the phone will again issue this notification. Before resetting, you need to save all the important data from the phone, as the phone's memory is completely cleared.
