Google released the Android 5.1 Lollipop
factory images for the Nexus 5 and othe
Nexus devices in early March, and then
said the rollout of the update over-the-a
(OTA) has begun. After another report
last month about the OTA rollout having
begun for the LG Nexus 5, the Android
5.1 Lollipop OTA update has now starte
rolling out in India.
The Android 5.1 Lollipop OTA update
with build number LMY47I for LG-made
Google Nexus 5 weighs 220.7MB, and is
recommended to download through a
Wi-Fi connection. The update comes wit
several bug fixes and some much-
needed features, which were earlier
missing from in the Android 5.0 Lollipop
OS version.
As mentioned before, the update brings
improved overall stability and an
enhanced ART (Android Run Time)
making apps open faster than before.
Issues with "Okay Google" have also bee
fixed. Nexus 5 users can now also searc
for different Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
connections directly from the 'Quick
Settings' option in the notification panel
without opening the 'Settings' page.
Also, the system volume can be changed
while playing audio. Alarm volume can
be changed from within clock app. Some
of the other changes include new 'No
interruptions until next alarm' option in
Priority mode; improved heads-up
notifications that let users swipe up to
collapse; improved battery life, and lock
screen remains locked when swiping
within notification settings.

The update will be reaching all Nexus 5
smartphones gradually. However, those
who are impatient for the OTA rollout in
their regions can install the factory imag

and manually install the Android 5.1
Lollipop factory image.
Notably, soon after announcing the new
OS version last month, Google on its
AOSP issue tracker page acknowledged
memory leak bug for some users that
causes apps to crash and fills up the
device's memory. The company said the
issue had been fixed internally, but did
not provide a timeline for the rollout of
the fix for end users. Unfortunately, the
memory leak issue has existed for some
users since Android 5.0 Lollipop, and
Google had back in December
announced a fix had been arrived at and
had marked it for future release.
