Android Lollipop problems continue: RAM and SMS bugs

It seems that Android Lollipop problems keep adding. What you have been able to see in the previous video is the last of those that have come to light these days. In this case we find that some devices encounter a problem with Google Now Launcher and its widgets, and that in this case it would leave the device without any response. But this has already been the last of the several that have starred in the day. We are going to tell you what are the latest reports that users with Android Lollipop have passed and that have to do with RAM and certain bugs when receiving sms.

Apparently, some of these errors would not have a difficult solution, and Google is already working on the issue. However, some do not appear on all devices, and only the Nexus range of smartphones seems to suffer from them. Although since we have to wait for Android 5.0 to be available for the other phones, perhaps later we will see how the same kinds of problems occur to them. In any case, we are going to analyze in a little more detail what bugs is causing Android Lollipop in the devices related to the RAM and the reception and sending of SMS.

RAM management

More than a bug in itself, it must be an error in the general configuration of Lollipop. In fact, with the tests done on a Nexus 9, you notice a big change between the operation of Kit Kat and the one that is sample on Lollipop. While until the previous version the logic followed by the operating system was to keep all the apps that the user opened open as much as possible, now the working mode has been changed, and the OS is told that what All you have to do is close them, regardless of whether there is RAM available or not. That is, if before the logical thing was only to close in cases in which the terminal did not have enough RAM to continue working, now it does so as a rule.

In tests carried out in various forums, we found that the Nexus 9, with a free space of 876 MB, and using 554 MB by the system and 406 MB in applications, close programs and apps without having to. Precisely that, the fact that there is a lot of free memory that is not thought to be used is what has led us to think that it is a bug, although the configuration has been changed by Google on purpose to ensure that massive closures do not occur when accessing certain applications.

SMS bug

The error regarding the sending of SMS at the moment is only affecting certain operators, and phones Nexus 4, Nexus 5, and Nexus 6 models. The bug is that even despite being able to receive text messages as usual, users do not have the ability to send them. Either they are simply not sent, or an error code corresponding to a 38 appears. It is not known what may be due, nor if there will be more operators affected than the Europeans and Indians who have declared to be suffering from this problem due to customer reports. Of course, for the moment in the case of Spain, it seems that there have been no cases and a solution is already being sought since in this way the phones would lose one of their functionalities because of Lollipop.
