It’s just been a few days since I took a leap of faith<\/a> and upgraded both my phone and tablet to Android 5.0 (the Lollipop thing). \u00a0My feelings about it are mixed though. \u00a0On one hand, I love the updated user interface. \u00a0It just makes more sense to me and closes some of the very dated rants that you can find in the archives of this blog. \u00a0On the other hand, that’s been a rather buggy release. \u00a0The things that I’ve noticed are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Battery life. \u00a0Both my phone and my tablet eat more battery now and charge slower. \u00a0That’s especially annoying with the phone. \u00a0Previously, two hours of commuting every day (one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening) meant that I didn’ t have to charge my phone ever – the charge during the drive was enough. \u00a0With Android 5 though, it’s discharging while using the same two apps as before – Waze for navigation and SmartPlayer for audiobooks.<\/li>\n
  2. Crashes. \u00a0My tablet gets stack with the same games which worked before just fine.<\/li>\n
  3. Ringtones reset. \u00a0I have two mp3 ringtones on my phone – one I use for all incoming calls, the other for all my alarms. \u00a0For some reason, I can only use any ringtone once. \u00a0If I try to set the same ringtone for the second alarm, then the first alarm resets ringtone to some random built-in ringtone. \u00a0Same happens every time in all kinds of combinations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    But the last few days weren’t enough for me to get too annoyed about it. \u00a0Yet. \u00a0Quite surprisingly, today a notification for the Android 5.0.1 showed up on my tablet. \u00a0I wasn’t even following the news yet to see when it will come out. \u00a0That’s pretty cool – hopefully it’ll take care of some of my issues. \u00a0If you want to know what’s changed, here is a good coverage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
