ENHANCEMENTS
Android™ 5.1 Lollipop improves stability and provides better control over notifications.
After installing the software update you may notice changes that include:
Notifications & Interruptions |
Usability improvements include:
|
Heads-up Notifications |
In addition to dismissing a heads-up notification, you can now swipe it up to remove it from your screen. It will remain in your notifications tray and you can dismiss it later. |
Quick Settings | You can quickly select different Wi-Fi access points or different paired Bluetooth devices with a new pull-down menu on each tile. Conditional settings tiles that only show if you use the feature - like “Invert Colors” or “Hotspot” - can now be hidden via a long-press on the tile. |
Chop Twice for Flashlight | Moto Actions let you turn the flashlight on or off with two chopping motions - without waking or unlocking your phone. |
Device Protection | Lost or stolen devices will remain locked until you sign in with your Google account, even if reset to factory settings. Note that you must have a Google account on the device to automatically enable this feature and set a PIN, password or pattern screen lock. |
Performance | Improvements in the Android Runtime (ART) lead to faster application launch times. |
Lockscreen | If you have enabled Ambient Display, the minimum swipe distance has increased to reduce accidental interactions. |
