The Android 5.0 Lollipop update for Nexus 5, Nexus 7, Nexus 10 and Nexus 4 devices will finally be released after several delays, multiple reports confirmed.
According to iDigitalTimes, the Android 5.0 Lollipop update for Nexus 5, Nexus 7, Nexus 10 and Nexus 4 devices will likely be available OTA (Over-The-Air) on Wednesday.
iDigitalTimes also added that Artem Russakovskii, who previously revealed accurate information about Android updates, revealed that several Nexus 5 users experienced battery issues and Wi-Fi bugs, which was confirmed by Google Android Open Source Project Senior Developer Programs Engineer Trevor Johns.
"Android Engineering is aware of an issue affecting Nexus 5 users running Android 5.0 which causes significant 'Miscellaneous' battery usage while Wi-Fi is enabled," Johns posted on Google Code Forum. "This appears to be caused by an abnormally high number of IRQ wakeup events. We are continuing to investigate this issue."
Several network carriers are also expected to release the Nexus 6 on Wednesday, which is reportedly one of the main reasons why Google decided to delay the release of the update because they wanted to wait until the full release of Nexus 6.
Adam Mills, a software expert from GottaBeMobile, reported, though, that users should consider waiting a little bit longer before downloading the Android Lollipop 5.0 on release day because there will still be several issues on day one, which could affect the performance of Nexus devices.
"There's a good chance that Android 5.0 Lollipop is going to deliver a number of bug fixes for Android 4.4 KitKat problems but unless you're experiencing tons of problems on Android 4.4 KitKat, you might be better served waiting a day, or two, or perhaps even a week before installing the software on your device. There's no reason to rush into things," Mills wrote.
Mills also added that owners who are still on Android 4.4 KitKat or older versions should know the new features of Android 5.0 Lollipop first before installing the update. Older devices might also have troubles running the new software similar to what Nexus 7 2012 users experienced when they updated to KitKat 4.4 last year.
