Yesterday we told you that the update to Android 5.0 Lollipop It was already ready for many of the most current terminals, especially for those of the Google firm, the Nexus, the Motorola and the LG. But precisely after Google's announcement and after the installation that many carried out after days of waiting, the first inconveniences arrived. In fact, after the euphoria to try the one that we had seen in hundreds of videos and in hundreds of images, the first disappointments began to appear. That in any case we remember they are the most normal thing in the world. No operating system is perfect, and Android 5.0 Lollipop has never claimed to be. I say this because some of the problems it presents have served to viciously attack the SO.
Although by the currently the Android OTA is not available in all countries, and there are still many models of devices that will be updated to test how the new operating system works, it seems that being able to share both the good and the bad already has its consequences. At least after first impressions, the bugs related to Android 5.0 Lollipop refer to the WiFi connections, and also to the performance of the operating system when a safe mode is activated that involves using data encryption. Below we see them in more detail.
WiFi problems on Android 5.0
The problems with WiFi networks reported by some users who have already updated their phones to version Android 5.0 are initially related to the failure to detect connections. Still, this seems to happen to only a small group of users. However, much more common is the problem of not being able to connect to a WiFi network already found. The problem is not known to what may be due, since users who have experienced it did not have any problem of this type in the previous version, so hardware failures could be ruled out.
But the most common of the bugs that affects the WiFi of the devices that have updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop is excessive battery consumption. In fact, the affected phones would experience increases in the need for charging of between 20% and 50%. It is in all cases an error that cannot be forgiven, especially in times when the autonomy of our devices almost never reaches us and we must look for alternative charging routes when we do not have a plug at hand. We will see what Google's solution is in the next few days.
Android 5.0 safe mode issues
On the other hand, Android 5.0 Lollipop includes a safe mode that allows us to navigate with encrypted data. With this, which is the first time that we can customize at source in the Android options, we would obtain security improvements that many developers have applauded. However, when activating it, it seems that we are going to have to settle for a performance below the usual. In fact, if you activate it, you will see how your phone goes much slower. The mode slows down the writing and reading of the internal memory, so the use of any application will make the user notice that difference. If you have several applications open and running at the same time, it will make it even clearer that the speed of your device has decreased.
At the moment these are the problems that seem to worry more about Android 5.0 Lollipop. Do you know any more or have you come across one that we have not mentioned on your device?
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE NEXUS 4 ???
Nobody gives clear information, but I deduce that after reading these problems it must not be working OK and they did not launch it.
It still bothers me that they do not report problems mainly from Google ...
Always the same, no matter what OS: First, if the new version optimizes battery use a lot… and then this «But the most common of the bugs that affects the WiFi of devices that have updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop it is the excessive battery consumption ».
Then I wait for version 5.0.1 or 5.1. The truth is that I am quite disappointed in this type of bugs in a system that always claims to improve performance and decrease energy consumption.
honestly not all of them since in mine it detects them at the moment and without problems and I feel that the battery has lasted 2 to 3 hours than normal, do not suggest before installing do the 3 wipes before flashing through fastboor.
Well, I have deleted applications that now give me an error when downloading, the camera gives errors, the photo gallery is sent to google (it does not do me anything funny), the battery lasts much less and it only took a day ...
In like
I updated my nexus 5 and the truth was that everything was fine but at the time of loading it reaches 76% and then it does not advance anymore I have had it all night and it does not continue to load and before with kitkat I did not have that problem and with L preview neither.
The camera does not work for me
I updated my nexus 4 today in the morning, maybe you had the WiFi problem at the beginning, but I restarted it and it already worked, but the biggest problem I have had and I hope I am not the only one to have it because if so it means that my terminal is in its last instances, when put to load, it goes completely crazy, the screen turns on and off until I restart the terminal, I hope google will solve this because if the lollipop modifications are still very good, this problem is very annoying
The battery does not charge me more than 15% directly, I updated it last night and here I am, charging the battery all day and I can't get it to go up. What I can do? I want the old OS, where can I claim?
It has not given me WiFi problems but my nexus 7 has slowed me down a lot. Apps take a century to open, some directly do not work well and close on their own and everything goes like jerks. Very pissed off, since Kit Kat was going to the movies.
The same thing happened to me David, I updated my nexus 7 and since then it has been fatal, it consumes a lot of battery, it does not open the applications well, the ones that open close by themselves, it takes a long time to execute the applications orders….
Please give us a solution now, my nexus 7 has become practically useless.
My problem is that the battery does not last me almost nothing ... if the battery lasted me from 07.00 to 22.00 or more now it is 14:00 and the mobile is hooked to the plug .... And if I'm away from home all day ... that the gallery will be loaded is a very big failure now I have to enable a google photo application that I don't want ... I'm messing around but fix that problem ....
It is because google play takes 80% of the battery, I do not know if it continues to update or that it does not last more than 5 hours. And also problems with app teardowns.
I have the nexus 4 and I already update to android 5.0 via ota, I have problems with the WiFi, that of not being able to use the internet while connected to the wifi, I also have problems with the navigation bar (back buttons, start and multitasking) already Sometimes it doesn't respond to touch when unlocking and I have to lock and unlock it again. The WiFi issue is annoying me a lot, so if someone knows how to fix it, please say so. Thanks
It has deleted applications that I can not use again in the same way as before, the facebook application turns off by itself, the battery lasts much less and it only took a day ...
I don't like it and I don't know what to do to go back to the previous version, can someone answer me?
Marcela to go back to the previous version use nexus root toolkit. It is an application that you install in windows and from there you can easily solve your problem, it is in English.
My nexus 7 with the update went from being an excellent tablet to a complete headache, the applications close themselves or simply do not open.
Lousy update
Terrible update, my NEXUS 7 has become a headache, I cannot open or close applications or games; it even shuts itself off.
Disaster
SHAMEFUL
It is a shame to update, the battery does not last me even 8 hours of a nexus 5 with 4 months ...
It is true that whenever a new or renewed Operating System comes out, there are usually problems, what I recommend in the meantime is that you go back to the KitKat version, and then when the OS bugs are fixed, you update it, if someone wants to know how to do it, what tell me in this forum and I tell you what to do, My opinion: I have a Nexus 5 updated to Android Lollipop, and I restored the phone after having installed it, and the battery lasts exactly 3 hours less, and in the Preview version From Android L itself, this did not happen to me, and it lasted 6 Hours that is said soon, WELL YOU KNOW, DECIDE ME, IF YOU WANT ME TO TELL YOU HOW TO RETURN TO KITKAT, OR ANY FACTORY VERSION BEFORE ANDROID L
Please, Javier, tell me how I can watch the KitKat with my Nexus 7 tablet
Give me a cable Javier. Half an hour ago I updated my Samsung S 4 and now it cannot connect to my wifi, the same one it was connected to during the update. How do I install the old operating system, which was working great for me?
tell me how to get back to kitkat in s5 thanks
Hello: I have a Samsung s4 and I have updated to lollipot, it is not that I had asked for it, I simply received an update notice and I said Ok. Since then, the mobile is super slow.
Do you know how to go back to the previous version, that I was going like silk?
I did the update as soon as the stock image came out but installing it as if it were an OTA. The performance of the Nexus had significantly degraded (Lags, everywhere, applications that were crashing, the keyboard was very slow ...). During the following days, many applications were updated (a very notorious case was the keyboard) and more or less it was improving. Then the OTA came out.
I finally decided to reset it as if it were from the factory and now the performance is very good. I think that depending on how I get it, the transformation of the applications from Davik to Art should not go very well (I suspect that it must be due to the problem of writing in its memory and that later a «LagFix» can not be done to optimize it ).
My nexus7 that was going great has been transformed into a potato. Now I prefer to use4 an ARCHOS that is 5 years old, it works better and faster. Shame
Good afternoon .. Or not so good. I have a nexus 4 and I got a notification to update the system.op. 5.0.0 and so I did. That's where the problems began. It hung a lot especially with the use of the camera. Shortly after, another notification to update to 5.0.1 appeared and I did so thinking that the problems would be solved and they have worsened to such an extent that the video play, music play, play store applications do not open, or access the phone's agenda , or anything ... This is depressing and I don't know what to do. Or how to go back to older versions, I need help please, SOS
With Samsumg Galaxy S5 the Facebook application turns itself off. It cannot be used at the moment. The rest great, If anyone knows how to solve the issue Facebook would be appreciated.
After updating my Samsung Galaxi S5 the Smart Scroll no longer exists, it is too perfect.
After updating my Samsung Galaxi S5 everything is worse. Wifi is a disaster, it connects and disconnects permanently, the battery lasts 50%, the applications are much slower and sometimes they close themselves ... What to do? Will a new update come to fix these problems?
Where has the "SILENCE" Mode gone?
Rob Ro also happened to me with my Note 3 there is no smart scroll and the smart stay does not work a garbage this update either
This is a SHAME !! I updated my Samsung Galaxy S5, new update good looking let's go.
I aztualize and I find that the keyboard is much slower, the mobile is lagging, the wifi goes as it is, it wins well if it works as God intended, suddenly with this update for calling it in some way, my mobile has returned That it only works for me for a hammer, because it is ASCO to use the mobile with this android that is not worth absolutely anything.
Would someone tell me how to get back to my android from before? That at least my s5 seemed like a decent mobile, because now it is worthless.
and if we talk about the battery it is a laugh…. it lasts half or for there .. but hey.
for the owners, managers, administrators or whatever ... they have screwed up the truth, is it really worth getting such a BAD update? It is not worth more, review all the bugs all things that go wrong, and once everything is solved, get the update?
I really am very unhappy, because the mobile makes me CRAZY !!! And that's just what I have to put up with on my cell phone, for a bunch of incompetent people ... I'm very sorry but that's what I feel.
greetings guys.
and I hope someone helps me delete this garbage from "android 5.0.0 lolipop" and put the kit kat, that at least the mobile is a mobile.
I have it in s5, it costs him to turn on the wifi and therefore connect to them, it takes about 1 minute and a half. Configuration options are usually checked. and every so often an error comes out of the contacts. I guess it will improve, before I did not have this problem so it is not hard ...
I located the problem that I present in my S5 SM-G900H is the problem that it does not take wifi, it detects it but it does not connect 🙁
The same thing happens to me on my nexus 7 tablet, did you fix it ??? and if this is how you did
I just updated my samsung S4 and it can't connect to my wifi, how can I re-implement the old one?
I updated my S5 and I'm super sorry ... I updated it with the excitement that it would be great to have lolli pop ... but it really was a disappointment ... the phone got really slow ... it hangs ... the contacts application crashes and closes at each while ... the battery does not last anything ... I mean ... a total disappointment ... I would like to put the previous version ...
I am truly disappointed with this Android 5.0 update. The phone has gotten slow and the battery has decreased its performance by 40℅. What a disappointment.
This update is a mess, damage my galaxy s5 became slow, the Applications are closed, the battery does not last at all and it no longer recognizes the data cable neither in the pc nor in the electrical outlet ... Here in Colombia nobody can fix it ... The only solution they gave me was: buy the galaxy s6 !!!
If anyone knows a more equanimous solution to my little problem, I would greatly appreciate
One of the options would be to flash the android version of kot kat and for the computer to recognize the phone, try to download "samsung kies 3" or something like that.
greetings and patience with this botched have if they fix it.
Thank you, I will have what happens !!!!
I have a moto g, and since the update, the battery does not last me at all
Since I updated my S4 to lollipop, the SMS messages application only lets me see the messages but when trying to read them, the application closes, so I cannot read the messages, on the other hand, the email both the which comes by default, like the one you install from the play store, specifically: yahoo and Gmail allow me to see the emails, delete them, change them, but it does not allow me to read them, the application closes when I try to open it. Exactly the same thing happens with the facebook messenger, I can know that someone is sending me a message but I cannot open the message to respond to it
lollipop5.0 = aporqueria does anyone know if there is going to be another update to amend this?
Can someone tell me if the wifi of my s4 can be fixed. It does not connect after updating to lolllipop I tell you that I returned to Kit Kat
