Although lollipop has been the best android version till date,users have quickly complained about one important thing-silent mode.Sounds to be shocking but this is true.Although there are few other sound options and functions such as enabling the 'Don Not Disturb',it seems to prove costly for Google.

Here is a list of fixes that could be done in the 5.1 update:

• Silent mode added after missing on Android 5.0
• General improvements in system stability
• Improved RAM management
• Fixes for sudden app closures
• Improved battery management
• Excessive consumption of network devices when used Wi-Fi fixed
• Issues with wireless connections fixed
• Problems with Okay Google function solved
• Notifications problems solved
• Some sound problems experience by certain devices fixed
• Other improvements and changes
• Changes in the Material Design color palette (after users complaints, possibly for a higher version though) 

It is also said that android 5.1 is reported to be shipping on android phones in Indonesia and also on the Nexus devices.

A handful of android users left vulnerable

Around 60% of the android users will have to live with a security bug that google has decided not to fix and they are left exposed to hackers.A security bug in the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and other older versions will remain unpatched as said by Google's chief of security on friday.
Talking about numbers,39% of the android handsets run on Android 4.4 kitkat.With the new Android 5.0 lollipop becoming much popular,it is equipped in only 1% of the smartphones.This means that 60% of the users still user Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

Google discloses another security flaw in Windows

Google researches have found a new security flaw in Windows 8.1 as well as Windows 7.
Windows 7 and 8.1 has a function called CryptProtectMemory, which generates an encryption key at login.This key can be used by other applications that run at the same login session and can share the data.There is another process called the CNG.sys that has to verify these tokens.But this thing(CNG.sys) doesn't properly verify the token.As a result,it is vulnerable and someone can impersonate the computer's legitimate user and access the its data(that too in an encrypted form).Though its not an easiest thing to do,hackers(or attackers) can exploit any other vulnerabilities of the computer through which they can exploit it.

Windows users will have to be more careful unless Microsoft releases a patch or an update to fix this flaw.
