The Android 5.0.1 Lollipop OS update was recently rolled out to Nexus 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10 as well as to Google Play Edition of Moto G, Moto X (2014), and HTC One M8 with the hope that it will resolve some of the bugs in the previous versions. The latest system update is claimed to be available via Over-The-Air update. The update was supposed to improve the performance and stability of the device as well as fix the bugs that users complain about.
However, a day after its release, users already complained of the remaining as well as new bugs after installing the update. According to some Nexus 7 and 9 users, they experience various issues such as installation, Wi-Fi, audio, and home button issues. However, Google has commented neither on the bugs or the Android updates.
