For some reason my tablet hasnt been as good as it was on ota 10, the 
update to ota 11 i experience problems like when i plug the cable in for 
external monitor it will and wont work and sometimes it will just reboot 
the desktop session, which is a pain if you have all your desktop laid out 
and working on it :( ordered a miracast with hope that this will be more 
stable and just work than the cable solution........
also if i leave the screen for aay a coupke of minutes the lock screen 
kicks in a the display sleeps but move the mouse it will either let me log 
back in or again just restart the desktop session, so letting it sleep is 
dodgy aswell.
Ive problems when in desktop mode with apps crashing like the web browser 
and dekko, just general use and they just die. 
They dont seem to crash in tablet mode which is odd.

Two more things which is toatlly seperate, im currently dropping nameserver 
8.8.8.8 into my resolv.conf which gets reset every reboot as we have a 
blocker at work do you think its time we had settings inside the wireless 
network manager were you specify a email address or a custom DNS like other 
devices rather than having to hack some network manager file with a 
terminal not every body likes getting into the terminal or finding out 
which file to edit and with which information...

On the phone which is a BQ E5HD im sure im running into low memeory 
problems, in general i leave dekko open to get notifications to pebble my 
music app which i control from pebble when i get in and out of the car and 
owncloud sync runnnig to sync files and contacts / calendars and thats it. 
Im finding now when i open my phone dekko still has the indication of stil 
running but its actually died so have to quit and restart it and the music 
app has done this aswell. Im finding with just these few apps open i cant 
really open much more for instance if i open face or twitter or google plus 
and scroll down they will just reset and say reload as i scroll down a bit. 
or open a web browser get reload or memory low notification on the web 
page.
Is there a way of increasing the memory if it is this IE add swap to the SD 
card or something. As in my eyes this is only a few apps and pretty poor 
performance compated to the nexus 5 i was using before do you think things 
may improve for OTA 12 and any thoughts on improving this would be great . 
I dont mind putting a video up to show you exactly what i mean - this is a 
clean bootstrapped phone - genuine BQ hardware running the latestest OTA11 
- just clean re-nstalled and not in RW mode.

Thoughts Please, sorry to have a moan.
