Android 5.0 Lollipop has been here for a while now and it doesn't really make the users completely happy. The most common bugs found are mainly Wi-Fi Connectivity, Battery Drain or stuff like that. We have rounded 4 common bugs and their new solution which may or may not work but is worth a shot.
1. Wi-Fi Connectivity Issue.
A lot of 5.0 devices have been reporting a problem while connecting to a WiFi Network. Older devices like Nexus 5 and Nexus 10 seem to be having the most problems.
In some cases, these are known bugs inside Lollipop, and you're going to have to wait for the next update to come around, but there are some tricks you can try in the meantime.
FIX:
In terms of suggested fixes, getting your phone or tablet to forget the network (long-press on the Wi-Fi network list), then reconnecting seems to work for a select few. The old faithful factory reset has done the trick for some, but this is a bit of a pain to work through.
You might also want to uninstall some of the older apps on your device, at least temporarily: A number of users have reported Wi-Fi issues disappearing once particular third-party apps were updated with Lollipop compatibility. If you're running an older app that hasn't been updated in a while, it could be causing interference.
Rebooting devices and the home router is another troubleshooting fix you might want to try. We've seen other reports that changing the Wi-Fi channel can improve performance: It's under the Advanced option on the Wi-Fi screen menu, or you can adjust the channel settings from your router.
2. Low Battery Backup
Low battery backup is found more common that WiFi Connectivity issue. After the android iteration The 5.0 has an inbuilt battery saver but it doesn't really help much.
FIX:
The factory reset has been known to help out some users.
Then there's the problem of older apps that haven't been updated since Lollipop appeared on the scene. One of these apps might be clashing with Lollipop's new code and causing the battery to drain unnecessarily, so you might want to try removing a few apps that haven't been recently updated. Remember you can see which apps are using up your device's juice from the Battery page in Settings.
You can also switch settings like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on and off, uninstall specific apps and see what changes.
Google has already pushed out an update to fix one battery life issue earlier this month, so make sure your version is up to date.
3. Lagging And Crashing
FIX:
If one app seems to be at the root of the issue then the obvious next step is to uninstall it or check for an update. Head to the developer's support site to see if any bugs have been reported by users or the development team. As with any update, it may be that certain apps are having problems adjusting to a new Lollipop-powered way of life, and bringing the whole system down with them.
We've seen reports that switching off some of the bells and whistles that come with Android — Google Now, OK Google support, live wallpapers, and so on — can improve the situation.
The Most recommended method is to use the Greenify App.
4.Video Playback Issue
One of the more specific problems to crop up on web forums is a video playback issue with the Wi-Fi version of the 2013 Nexus 7. Users are reporting that Lollipop is unable to find the video player software when they want to watch a clip.
FIX:
Clearing the cache of one of the affected apps (such as YouTube) has helped some people restore functionality. You can do this from the Apps page in Settings.
Other users have found success by enabling or disabling the NuPlayer from the Developer options page (this seems to be a new, experimental playback layer introduced with Lollipop). Head to About phone from the Settings app and tap the build number seven times to activate the developer options screen, and you can then try playing around with NuPlayer. If it's enabled then disable it and vice versa, resetting your device each time.
Other than that you can fall back on the factory reset option which will wipe all temporary data from your device and may be enough to restore video playback functionality.
