Nexus 5 Owners Are Running Into Problems With Android L - International Business Times

Saturday, November 15, 2014

No software rollout would be complete without a few early bugs, and Android L is no exception -- especially on the Nexus 5. The latest version of Google’s operating system has an issue connecting to Wi-Fi networks following the Android 5.0 (Lollipop) update, if you can get it to install correctly.


Android L (5.0) devices won’t connect to Wi-Fi, developers have been telling Google for nearly a month. One developer complains that the Nexus 5 saves passwords but then fails to actually connect, as Business Insider pointed out. The issue seems to also be affecting Nexus 7 and Nexus 9 tablets.


The issue seems to come from the current version of Android L for the LG Nexus 5, or build LRX201. Google has not yet come up with a fix for the issue -- which could be major for users who rely on Wi-Fi. This is the second Wi-Fi issue to affect the Nexus 5 following the release of Android L, the first drained battery life quickly, but has since been fixed.


While the Wi-Fi bug affects Nexus 5 models running Android L, a number of owners say their device cannot complete the installation due to a “missing system.img” error message. The bug cancels the installation of Android L on the Nexus 5 as well as a number of other devices.


To fix the “missing system” error and finishing installing Android L, head over to Android Police’s in-depth guide. Having trouble with Android L, or has the update been perfect? Let us know in the comments below.
