Android 5.0 bug makes it a bit harder to close all open apps

Well every major updates comes with many bugs like this. The same goes for other platforms. But the problem with Android is that updation process is complicated compared to iOS. There is no guarantee whether OEMs and carriers will update their devices to the latest version especially the old devices. This doesn't apply to Moto or nexus

Agree with everything except updation. It's just update process, not updation process. Updation isn't a word.

Not really, the OEMs only take forever on major updates, the small bug fixes were always quick to update within days. These are going to be incorporated into most Lollipop updates from day one and even if they aren't, they'll roll out to the public fairly quickly since OEMs and carriers won't need to add anything to them.

It's a bug dude, 5.0 has a few of em. Stop making excuses, no OS is perfect.

Yeah. Android copied iOS 8.

Not so cool.

Yeah, but this shows how testing is done of some newly added features like this one and flashlight, and many more would be occurring.

Every major release of any OS has bugs but these types of are major coz these are new features and one of the main.

No, other "platforms" had problems that ended up bricking devices. This is something almost irrelevant.

Yes, a beautiful bug and look at the picture and that is sexy bug, haha!

And yes, all major updates comes with many bugs like the iOS before but they fixed immediately.

Where are those iDroid fans now and look what they have too.

I had this same bug on the dev preview and still have it on the official 5.0. I do not have SCR 5+ installed on my N5. The random window it will show is normally some related to Android System, though I can't reopen it.

Depends on which phone you use. All of mine are running KK.

yeah, why is it that apple has a bug that lasted 1-2 days before it was fixed and it's all overhyped and allover the world hated and "apple is doomed" and all, but knowing Android updates come once a year to most devices - how long till this is repaired by Google, sent to manufacturers for their UI overlay, then sent to Carriers to add/update their bloat and voila, 6-12 months later your flashlight fixed..

Never had to wait for an update, how will this work. Android new update has a bug - how does Samsung user on Verizon gets a fix once Google releases a patch?

16. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4752; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)

Where do you get that Android only updates once a year? Since last year KK had 5 updates. Most dealt with the SSL/Heartbleed issue.

Some devices never got an update at all... some take 6 months to a year to get an updated released by Google 6-12 month ago. I know some devices like Nexus and Moto get updates fairly quick.. but the rest of the flagships - how long?

That's the thing. The only people that care about this are the Apple fanboys like you. And the only reason you care is to talk down To Android fans or talk up your beloved Apple.

Everyone else is happy to ignore Google updates and concentrate on touchwiz, sense, and their own skinned updates. Heck, Amazon doesn't even use the playstore.

Wait let me rephrase that....

Yes Google updates Android multi-times a year, but dont carriers barely care to push those updates and often dont even...?

27. Finalflash (Posts: 3492; Member since: 23 Jul 2013)

Major updates yes, but minor ones like this are rolled out in a day or two. It is only when they go from 4.0 to 4.1 to 5 do they take a while. But even for those, LG is rolling it out within a month of release, HTC within 2, Samsung within 1-2, and Moto has it out already. So complaining is only from Apple fans, most Android fans are okay getting their update within a year from the last major update.

Reading is good! Him closing the app and the app stopping is NOT the bug! If you have a device with 5.0 I bet you can replicate it yourself. Please try reading next time before calling people stupid, as you're the one that's not understanding it.

"On the video that accompanies this story, you see the app switcher completely cleared of apps, and yet a random card appears."

that's not the random card.... if you can see it in the video... Its a card from that third party screen recording app.... next time... if you can't understand someone's comment... kindly ask that person to explain... dear sold phone

for your smart brain.... see comments of all other Lollipop users...No one is complaining about this issue.. No one is facing this issue ...
So next time you start teaching something to "random" guy on a website... be sure that the thing is perfectly clear in your mind
