[radicchio]

From android pit.com

Our source has informed us that Android 5.1 will be launched by the end of February 2015, and a second, completely separate source that is also privy to important information regarding Android updates, confirmed it. Not only that, this is allegedly a rather large update with many interesting new features! See the changelog below:

Silent mode added after missing on Android 5.0
General improvements in system stability
Improved RAM management
Fixes for sudden app closures
Improved battery management
Excessive consumption of network devices when used Wi-Fi fixed
Issues with wireless connections fixed
Problems with Okay Google function solved
Notifications problems solved
Some sound problems experience by certain devices fixed
Other improvements and changes
Changes in the Material Design color palette (after users complaints, possibly for a higher version though)
So far there is no information about functions that it might bring, but we'll be sure to report on those as soon as we hear it.

Android 5.0 was a fantastic update, however it did bring its own list of issues, which we covered how to fix in our Android 5.0 Lollipop common problems and solutions article. That being said, Android 5.1 could get rid of many of the problems we saw here!

Android 6.0: let’s invent the ultimate Android OS
Android 5.0.1 Lollipop update: when will my device get it?

While there are some features I would like to see on this phone, I would be happy if they would just fix the features it has now and make it more reliable (specifically referring to the random reboots, freezing, and shutting off).

I literally just got done installing 5.0.1. I feel like I'm way behind. Hasn't that been out for a while now?

I really like the 360.... I am just 99.999999999% sure I'll wear it a lot for a couple of weeks and then not any more....

I haven't wore a watch for at least 8 years, and I can't leave the house without my Moto 360 now. Not only can I more easily manage my notifications during work, but my wrist feels completely naked without it.

When I pick up my device from bring face down, it always comes on. But I use BBM, which has a persistent notification.

I like it though. Easy to check the time.

You don't have to pick your phone up to tell the time you can just ask it what time it is and it will respond from 10'away!

One can only hope. Although I've grown attached to the ambient display I miss an LED.

Either one is not a replacement for the other!

My Ambient display comes on as well for no reason sometime, and other times won't come on when I get a notification or even when I pick up my phone. I miss the LED light.

Yeah, not doing that.

Ha, lol! I actually did it a few times when I was by myself!
