New OS Problems Arise?
As excited Android users have updated their devices to the newest Android 5.1 Lollipop Update, Tech Times (via The Christian Post) has reported that some problems have been experienced by those who have updated to the new system.
"...the Lollipop memory leak problem, which was first reported back in November during the Android 5.0.1 roll out, still persist with the latest version and it "seem to be more frequent," wrote the publication.
It also adds that aside from the continuing memory leak issue, there have also been reported situations of random shut downs and inefficient Wi-Fi and data connectivity.
"This has been fixed internally," quoted Christian Post of a person from Google. "We do not currently have a timeline for public release." Apparently Google doesn't see the reported issues as "urgent" given that the bug fixes have yet to be pushed through.
