BANGALORE: The highly anticipated Android 5.0 or “Lollipop,” update was officially released with the Nexus 9 tablet and Nexus TV. But with no Nexus 4, 5, 7 or 9 getting the update the frustration has been growing and now it’s confirmed that Android L update has been delayed for the Nexus 5 and potentially other devices due to battery issues, reports Forbes.

Backed up by mass reports of the problem in the official Android Developer Forum, a senior Google programs engineer confirmed that the bug had not been fixed as of now. The post was spotted by an eagle-eyed Redditor, who posted his discovery to the site.

“Android Engineering is aware of an issue affecting Nexus 5 users running Android 5.0 which causes significant ‘Miscellaneous’ battery usage while WiFi is enabled,” Google senior developer Trevor Johns said, “We are continuing to investigate this issue.”

Android L still has no official release date from Google, but it is likely delayed at least until Nov. 12, according to Android Police Founder Artem Russakovskii. But for users running an experimental, or beta release of Android L beta software is still available to Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 tablet, although they contain a number of bugs and Google recommends them only for secondary or backup devices.
