The release of Factory Images for Nexus devices yesterday, was missing some devices from the rollout, most notably the Nexus 4 handset. Google announced the Nexus 4 would receive the Lollipop update after they announced Android 5.0, but there was a notable silence yesterday about the update. Today there’s news for Nexus 4 owners, with Senior Program Manager for Android, Sascha Prüter posting to Google+ that the Nexus 4 update was Locked and loaded with build LRX21T.
The full update on Google+ was actually quite brief with Mr Prüter saying :
Locked and loaded! #LRX21T
While the initial comment didn’t say anything about which device he was talking about, he quickly followed up in comments to say that he forgot the #Nexus4 hash tag. When questioned on when the update would arrive, he followed up with :
Soon, not sure when exactly but shouldn’t be too long. Staging the factory images always takes some time.
For Nexus 4 users and owners out there, we do hope that’s sooner rather than later.
Got android 5.0 lollipop ota overnight on my nexus 4! I’m with AmaySim! Awesome, love the new notifications, battery is noticeably better already & it’s definitely running cooler than it had been! Worth the wait! Top job Google!
