The Android 5.1 Lollipop update is increasingly being seen in the form of leaks, and everything indicates that its arrival on the devices of the Nexus range of the American company Google is imminent. The last to star in one of these leaks has been the Nexus 7 (2012) tablet, although the Nexus 4, Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 smartphones have also begun to appear in documents that mention the Android 5.1 Lollipop version of the system. Android operating.
In the case of the Nexus 7 (2012), it has been a user of one of the official Google forums ( code.google.com ) who has posted an error message related to a conversion of a sound file on Android. This user, when asked about the version of the operating system of his device, has mentioned that his Nexus 7 of 2012 is running under Android version 5.1 (specifically, a version with code LMY47D). The error mentioned in the discussion in which this user has appeared does not seem to be of much relevance, and it is simply a problem related to the decoding time of audio files that some devices with Android operating system seem to have.
The code numbering of the Android 5.1 Lollipop version mentioned by this user (LMY47D) tells us that we are facing an update that is approximately two weeks old (the letter " Y " refers to the first quarter of this year 2015, and the number " 47 " refers to the day of the current year in which this version was distributed (that is, February 16), while the letter " D " refers to the number of versions of the same update that were distributed that day (in this case, it appears that at least four different updates were distributed)).
But the Nexus 7 (2012) is not the only one that has already begun to receive the Android 5.1 update in certain users. The Nexus 4, Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 have also been seen by the official Google forums running under the Android 5.1 Lollipop version of the Android operating system. In the case of the Nexus 4, the version of the operating system under which it has appeared running Android 5.1 responds to the numbering of LMY36B, while in the case of the Nexus 6 the version responds to the numbering ofLMY47E.
In summary, it is to be assumed that Google has already begun to distribute the Android 5.1 Lollipop update among some users apparently chosen to detect and identify the errors that this new version of Lollipop may contain. Of course, the numbering of the versions that are being filtered at the moment do not have to be exactly the ones that users will receive on their devices and, in fact, it is most likely that the final versions of Android 5.1 in the Nexus will bring some different numbering.
On the other hand, the fact that Google has begun to update its applications to the version of Android 5.1 Lollipop only confirms that the arrival of Android 5.1 is getting closer to becoming a reality.
