Android 5.1 Lollipop Update For Nexus 7 Rolling Out Soon

The Android 5.1 Lollipop update for the Nexus 7 should be rolling out soon. Google just posted the factory images for the Nexus 7 (3G) Android 5.1 Lollipop update.

The Android 5.1 Lollipop update for the Nexus 7 should be rolling out soon, as Google has posted the factory images for the Nexus 7 (3G) Android 5.1 Lollipop update on the Android Open Source Project page for Nexus devices.

Starting in March, Google began rolling out Android 5.1 Lollipop to its Nexus branded devices. The Nexus 6, Nexus 7 2012 Wi-Fi, Nexus 10, and Nexus 5 all began receiving the Android 5.1 Lollipop update. As we previously reported, the Nexus 5 Android 5.1 Lollipop update just began rolling out as well.

Android 5.1 Lollipop brings with it some significant changes and improvements over its predecessor, Android Lollipop 5.0. Among the changes are welcome improvements in battery life for devices running the new operating system, and increased protection and security afforded by a new locking system that prevents the device from being used when lost or stolen even, if it is given a factory reset. The device will still not work unless the original user signs in with his or her Google account credentials.

Another feature of Android 5.1 Lollipop is the ability to place high definition voice calls between devices that are running the new OS. Of course this feature is designed for smartphones and phablets as opposed to tablets like the Nexus 7.

Now that Google has posted the factory images for the Nexus 7, the rollout should be imminent. Although Google doesn't typically announce operating system rollouts in advance, users should check their devices for the new rollout coming soon.

The Nexus 9, Nexus 7 2013, Nexus 7 LTE, and Nexus 4 are still waiting to receive the new Android Lollipop 5.1 update, although it has been officially confirmed by Google, it is not yet clear whether those devices will be receiving the current 5.1 version of Lollipop that the Nexus 7 (3G) is receiving or a newer 5.1.1 version.

Firefox For Android Passes 100 Million Downloads In The Google Play Store Google's mobile version of Chrome has become the de facto standard browser for Android, but never let it be said that it's the only option. Mozilla Firefox, which predates Chrome on both desktop platforms and Android , has been downloaded from the Play Store 100 million times. Mozilla decided to toast the occasion on its official blog . Aside from the obvious user interface differences, the Android version of Firefox has gradually added compelling features like integration with synced Mozilla services (which are a godsend if you use the desktop browser as your primary web interface), extra user-accessible tools like a fullscreen switch, customized search engines, and add-ons that expand the base app's functionality. Though detailed download information isn't posted to the Play Store, it's probably second only to Chrome (and the original AOSP browser in markets like Chi
