Google has had the Andriod 5.0.1 Lollipop Memory Leak Issue fixed. With the issue already closed, the status now reads "Future Release," Tech Times reported.
This indicates that Google is expected to release bring bug fixes in a little while given the company's fast track record for pushing out Android 5.0.1 Lollipop updates.
The first in line to receive the software upgrade were the Nexus users, who were also the ones complaining about the memory leak bug, which caused constant reloading of the home screen of the users' devices and basically killed open apps.
Users were in a dilemma due to the crashing and leaking of RAM by the apps affected by the bug. Irate users vented their frustration through Google's Android Issue Tracker.
According to the thread, the bug affected several Nexus devices including the Nexus 4, the Nexus 5 and the 2013 model Nexus 7. While the normal usage is 500MB, the infected devices were eating up over 1.2GB of RAM.
One user wrote, "When play music crashed in the background today, with maps navigation running in the forefront, system ram usage was at 780mb. Maps ram usage was at 280mb. The play music process was stuck in 'restarting' status until I swiped it out of recents and restarted it."
The user also explained, "This was after around 48 hours uptime. Camera app also started crashing mid-photosphere shortly after this. After a reboot system usage dropped to ~380mb and everything's working fine again."
Meanwhile, Google is reportedly working on another major update for the Android 5.1 Lollipop while a recent leaked screenshot of Android Lollipop 5.0.1 hinted that the mobile phone may be rolling out to LG G2 devices soon, according to Customs Today.
