Release of Android Lollipop to Nexus devices gets delayed

Nexus users have been tipped that they would be getting their updates for Android 5.0 Lollipop any day now. However, Android Police reports the over-the-air update has been delayed due to bug issues. Those using Nexus 9 and Nexus Player already have the builds shared but those with a Nexus 4, 5, 7, and 10 have to wait until November 12. Google hasn’t really released a specific timeline for the OTA update but they have said on Twitter to Nexus 4 and 5 users that it will be arriving in the coming weeks.

Google tweaks Inbox UI

If you’re one of the lucky ones with access to Google’s new invite-only email client Inbox, you might be seeing some changes in the visuals. Those who already have Android 5.0 Lollipop-powered will see that the status bar color changes to fit the action bar color. The action bar (for all using Inbox) is also now covered by the slide-out navigation menu. And you can now switch accounts by just swiping from the left to bring out the panel and then swipe again.

Nexus 6 feature wakes up the phone when you pick it up

Looks like the Nexus 6 is eliminating the need for you to press the Power/Lock and Unlock button when you pick it up from your desk. According to Android Police, the Motorola-made Nexus 6 has an Ambient Display setting that will wake the screen when the device is picked up or when notifications arrive. This isn’t really a new feature as Moto X already carries a similar feature. However, the good news is Ambient Display might be part of Android 5.0 Lollipop update. So, there could be more Android devices that can wake this way.
