this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by the all-new G flex 2 from LG life's good hey what's going on guys the marked in Sangin from TechnoBuffalo and in today's video we'll be showing you guys what's new in android 5.1 lollipop now the update is slowly rolling out and you should be getting it on your Nexus device pretty soon but in case you haven't received it yet we actually made a video explaining how to sideload android 5.1 so we'll leave the link down below that like button so we got it up and running on our Nexus 5 and I've been using it for about a week now and so far everything seems to be really fluid I haven't experienced any app crashes or major lags throughout the US and pattern real life seems to be a bit better too and John's using android 5.1 on his Nexus 6 and he definitely noticed an improvement in battery life and performance so let's go ahead and see what's new with android 5.1 lollipop so we're gonna split these changes into two different categories the big changes and then we're gonna follow that up with the small changes starting off with the big changes in quick settings the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth quick access buttons are now clickable which means if you click on the Wi-Fi drop down button it now shows you a mini menu with different Wi-Fi connections inside quick settings and the same goes for the Bluetooth button no need to go to the Settings app so you connect two different Wi-Fi and Bluetooth you can change connections through the quick settings menu another big change that I noticed with android 5.1 is the ability to change the system volume when an audio or video is playing in a background whereas before you weren't able to do that another thing I noticed that when you swipe up a notification instead of dismissing it forever it's just gonna be kept for later so you can see it on your notification tray another one that I noticed was in the settings menu under Wi-Fi Android now recognizes Wi-Fi connections with no internet access and it actually won't automatically reconnect which is great with android 5.1 on the nexus 6 you do now have the HD voice support for t-mobile and Verizon and it also supports for two SIM cards if you have a phone that's capable of accepting dual Sims now probably the biggest one for android 5.1 is specifically for the Nexus 6 which is the anti-theft device protection basically if someone tries to and wants to wipe your phone they'll have to enter the account password of the last Google Account on specific Android device if you have a Nexus 6 and a secured lock screen like a pin pattern or a password and sign into at least one Google account device protection should be already enabled now moving on to the small changes there are new animations for the auto rotate portrait mode button in the quick settings menu screen pinning now shows which buttons to press to leave screen pinning mode otherwise it works like before going inside the clock app there are new animations throughout the clock app if you press each individual buttons if we go inside the Settings app inside the running apps and applications or services you can now see that the 3d icons are now changed to a much flatter material look I'm talking about the lock screen real quick there are some subtle changes swiping outside the quick settings area will unlock the phone rather than swiping the quick settings away to just see the lock screen just making it easier to get to your home screen quicker and last but not least editing a contact looks much cleaner and simpler now with a few material design elements and that's about it if you guys want to give android 5.1 a try we have a tutorial up on our channel on how to sideload it on your Nexus device or if you want to simply just wait for the update then feel free to do so anyways let's sit for this video guys if you like this video give it a thumbs up and make sure to hit the subscribe button I'll see you guys in the next one
