If you were thinking of upgrading to Android Lollipop, you might want to wait. There’s a serious bug in the latest version of Android that manifests itself as a memory leak. In case you don’t speak nerd, a memory leak is when the operating system or an application does not release memory when it is supposed to. As a result memory runs out and the affected computer/phone/device requires a reboot. But the “fun” starts anew after the reboot.
Charming.
Affected devices include the Nexus 6, Nexus 5, Nexus 4 smartphones and the Nexus 7 tablet. I’m guessing that Google is going to be working around the clock to fix this as a thread on Google’s support forum is starting to grow rather large. That means that Google is getting attention in a very negative way.
