Changes in Android 5.0 Lollipop: menu turn off and mobile data

Probably if you haven't done any of the manual installs of Android 5.0 Lollipop that we have recommended, you already have the latest Android update available, since the OTA is in Spain and the downloads have been available all day yesterday. If this is not the case, today you will surely have it in available software, and you will only have to update, or accept the notification to start enjoying your new operating system that, as you have seen, has been graphically renewed considerably. In any case, all the changes have not been liked in every way, and if all these days we have talked about some of the problems that were being reported in the new version, today we are going to tell you about some of the Google innovations that have not finished convince.

And it is that becoming more minimalist has penetrated among those that we have already tried Android 5.0, but there are certain options that have been removed, and that do not currently make much sense. In fact, the first thing that will catch your attention is that the reset menu has disappeared, and it has become a single option. Also the fact that we can no longer manage the connection or disconnection through widgets, and that we necessarily need to access the Android menu or use options that require developer permissions. Below we explain both things in detail.

The non-menu menu on the power button

If you were used to seeing in Android 4.4.4 Kit Kat a few options in the shutdown menu when pressing the side button of your smartphone, now forget it. The simplicity with which it has been conceived Android Lollipop 5.0 It has eliminated them all, so much so that now it no longer makes sense to talk about a menu, since we only find the option to turn off. Since this is a confirmation step, it might make sense, but for others, Google missed by removing everything to place more than the Shutdown button alone, something that said You sure want to turn off. Perhaps last minute errors or unforeseen changes, because it is clear that there are those who, although the new OS has just been released, already miss the other buttons. Have you noticed this in the new Android?

Managing the connection to mobile data

On the other hand, without really knowing the reason for it, in Android Lollipop 5.0 Nor will we be able to manage the connection or disconnection of the mobile network with widgets, as was the case in previous versions such as Kit Kat. In fact, we have already seen several updates indicating the impossibility of the option, and some news in this regard, such as the quick response from Toogle Data 5.0, which is the first and fastest response to the new policy that the search engine seems to have launched in the new operating system. This is currently the only widget with which you will be able to activate or deactivate the data directly from the home screen without having to directly access the internal menu of the mobile to see the options. That is, if you want that possibility to be within your reach without going around a thousand times, for now, it is the only compatible app. Of course, to install it, you will have to activate root permissions, otherwise, it will not work.
