Google, after releasing Android 5.0.1 factory images for Wi-Fi only
Nexus tablets, has now released the same for
Nexus 4 and
Nexus 6
smartphone. The new updated build of Android 5.0 Lollipop comes with
build number
LRX22C.
Prior to this, Android 5.0.1 factory images for the Wi-Fi only
Nexus 7 (2013), Nexus 9, and Nexus 10 were published. The factory
images for the Nexus 5, 3G-enabled Nexus (2012 and 2013), and Nexus 9
LTE are yet to be published.
As of now, there is no word on what
precise changes the Android 5.0.1 update brings; though we can expect
the release to bring fixes to various bugs and issues reported by
Android 5.0 Lollipop users in the recent few weeks. With the release of
Android 5.0.1 factory images for Nexus devices, we can expect that
Google will soon announce the incremental update.
In last few
weeks, Android 5.0 Lollipop has been in the news for all wrong reasons
with several user reports pointing to multiple bugs in the final
release.
Some of the Android 5.0 Lollipop bugs recently reported
by users include a Wi-Fi bug; an SMS bug, app switcher bug; another bug
that removed the very useful 'silent mode' from phones, and a
flashlight bug was also reported to be affecting some Nexus 5 and Nexus 4
users.
Adding to the long list of Android 5.0 Lollipop bugs, two
new ones were reported - one about the broken manual account
sync button in settings, and another about frequent restart of apps in
the background.
Earlier this month, Motorola started rolling out
the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for the first-generation Moto G - aka
Moto G (2013), Moto G (XT1033), and Moto G (Gen 1) - in India.
