Google is not really known for good communication with the outside world and around the latest version of Lollipop, Android 5.1, the company proves that again. Meanwhile the first devices with Android 5.1 appeared in the Philippines, but the search giant has this first major update for Lollipop has not even been officially announced.
Next MR
In his tweet Mo Versi be asked for a solution to a problem with the lighting of the buttons on the Google Play Edition HTC One (M7). He gives them that this solution will be the next MR Google that will come in March. MR stands for maintenance release, a maintenance update.
A maintenance release is a new version of Android under the same name as the previous update is released. This began with Eclair, Android 2.0. The first maintenance release for Android 2.1 Eclair was. Honeycomb (Android 3.0) had two maintenance releases, Android 3.1 and 3.2. The same applies to Jellybean: that was at first Android 4.1, but Android 4.2 and 4.3 were named Jellybean respectively adding MR1 and MR2. Only Gingerbread (Android 2.3) was not “great” new version number: MR1 was given the version number 2.3.3 (and 2.3.4) with.
Android 5.1 Lollipop
If we had to gamble what version the first maintenance update Lollipop would get based on the previous maintenance updates, we would say 5.1. This version is indirectly confirmed by Google itself, simply by releasing Android One devices today.
One of the complaints about Android 5.0 Lollipop is that there is no real silent mode is more. However, if you ‘interruptions’ / disable notifications when you go to sleep, you ever would for a nasty surprise may come to be: the alarm goes namely in this mode also unfinished. Google has introduced something new with Lollipop, the priority mode. When you turn it on, the alarm goes off as normal.
The priority mode replaces just the silent mode, it does provide extras. Thus, it is possible to switch from priority interruptions and automatically at certain times. You can also specific contacts you can indeed be disturbed when this mode is enabled. One of the rumors of Android 5.1 is that the silent mode would be back, but it seemed to us all and seems unlikely given the above screenshot is also not to be the case. However, the different sound profiles are made clearer with new icons.

Availability
It is not clear when the update to Android 5.1 will follow. The HTC One (M7) Google Play Edition will be one of the first devices that will get an update, but whether it has that Versi 5.1 announced in March or the update begins, is not quite sure.
