HTC One M9 Developer Edition receiving Android 5.1 OTA update
If the android-5-1-1-update/” rel=”external nofollow”>official Android 5.1.1 OTA Update notification doesn’t arrive today, then you can manually check for new files by going to Settings> About Device> Software Updates menu.
The Android 5.1.1 update is supposed to bring the LG UX 4.0, so users can expect an experience similar to the one found on the LG G4, although it is possible that not all of the features will make the cut into the 2013 phone. Sprint’s Support Page says that if prompted with an available Lollipop update for Galaxy S6 phones, the user just needs to follow onscreen instructions until the installation succeeds.
Reports earlier claimed that both smartphones will be skipping the Android 5.1.1 update and will jump ahead to Android M, a beta version of which Google has already released to developers for testing. They too are pushing out Android 5.1 Lollipop update to their 2014 Moto X customers and they are getting the same updates that have been mentioned above.
Considering that the suggestion for LG G3 users is to wait for their Android 5.1 upgrade, one can visualize that the recommendation for the LG G2 will be very much the same.
Remember that starting with Android 5.0, any modifications to the /system partition (no matter how slight) will cause over-the-air updates to fail when flashing. Users can also avail of a better pinning feature for the home screen. The Android Lollipop update has hit these devices with numerous technical problems, most prominent of which are the Wi-Fi and connectivity issues that are preventing users from being able to access the Internet on their handsets.

This update also contains battery optimization, which includes battery saver mode, job scheduling and a new developer tool called Battery Historian which tracks the battery consumption by the apps.
The Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 Edge are the newest flagships from the South Korean tech giant. Now the G2 is using Android 5.0.2 Lollipop, which it received back in April of this year.
