Google Nexus 4 users have reportedly
started receiving the Android 5.1 Lollipop update. The 174.5MB OTA
update seems to be rolling out slowly and hasn't reached India as yet.
To remind you, Google never provided factory images of the update to
manually flash the Nexus 4.
Once the Android 5.1 Lollipop update
is available for your Google Nexus 4, it will be seen as a system
notification. Users can also manually check for it by going into
Settings > About Phone > System Updates or download the zipped and
Google-signed OTA update file
(via 9to5Google) that has been made available online by users who have
already received the update.

Unfortunately,
no changelog is available for the Nexus 4's Android 5.1 update. Google
started rolling out the Android 5.1 Lollipop update for Nexus devices in
early
March, and had only detailed changes such as support for multiple SIM
cards, Device Protection and HD voice on compatible devices. However,
since then, several other changes the update brings have been gleaned by
users - check out our previous coverage
for more details.
Meanwhile, some Google Nexus 5 users are reporting a camera crash issue after the Android 5.1 Lollipop update.
The
issue is said to occur when a third-party app tries or even the default
app tries to access the camera, resulting in a crash. A simple reboot
reportedly fixes the issue temporarily, but then it comes back again,
noted the bug
report (via Android Police) filed on Google's AOSP page.
The
Android 5.1 Lollipop OTA update with build number LMY47I for LG-made
Google Nexus 5 weighs 220.7MB. Last
month,
Google had started rolling out the update to Nexus 5, but the update
only reached users in India earlier this
month.
Notably,
these are not the only bugs that have been reported for Android 5.1
Lollipop. Apart from a memory leak issue
that is still affecting users (it was first reported
for Android 5.0 Lollipop back in November), some Nexus 7 and Nexus 5
users are reporting that their devices are being bricked after updating
to Lollipop, with the exact version different for affected users.
