Android 5.0 Lollipop is on everyone’s mind at the moment, and according to rumors, November 3 was the date it should have been rolled out to Nexus and Google Play Edition devices. However, Google supposedly had to change its plans at the final moment owing to a serious bug that could have affected users in a big way.
The company has rescheduled the arrival of this update for November 12 due to a Wi-Fi issue in the developer build of Android 5.0 Lollipop that was causing insane battery drain. When Wi-Fi was switch on, some users were observing that their Nexus 5 handsets were waking up randomly, resulting in the ‘Miscellaneous’ section in the battery use menu to consume the maximum amount of juice.
Surely, it would have resulted in quite an upset if such a big bug had made its way into the final release of the newest version of Android. However, a look at the issue tracker (via Android Police) has revealed that it has been fixed by Google’s developers, and the Wi-Fi problem should be solved in all upcoming builds.
