Google's newest flavor of its Android Operating System, the Lollipop, is an awesome and probably the best Android OS. However, the Android 5.0 Lollipop is not without flaws. Android 5.0 has its fair share of bugs. Recently, Android 5.0 users are experiencing what seems to be a memory leak.
In almost all operating systems, the RAM or Random Access Memory is being allocated every time the user opens or runs an up and then when the app is closed the RAM will be automatically freed up. This is how memory allocation in almost all computing platforms works. Unfortunately, on the case of Android 5.0, every time an app is closed the allocated RAM was not freed up and this causes the phone or table to crash or apps are forced to close due to insufficient memory allocation.
Google has been aware of this bug for quite some time already. In fact they have already started to roll out updates to fix the problem. Google has yet to release an official statement about the patch that would fix the issue but they have already determined where the problem is coming and the company is already putting its developers and engineers on full crunch mode to fix the problem as soon as possible. It is also important to note that Google have always been prompt in fixing issues regarding their products and this memory leak bug is no exception.
According to reports, the bug is not affecting all apps running on the Android platform. The most affected apps are those that users use frequently. Apps that run on background were also reported to be very susceptible to the bug since these kinds of apps needs massive amounts of RAM in order to run. Inside reports from Google claims that the company would be able to release a patch to fix this issue within the next week.
