Nexus 5: some examples have Android version of Key Lime Pie ... - International Business Times Italy

Into The Nexus 5 is a device that, a few days after its release, is doing very well to talk of himself, in particular for its top of the range offered at a very competitive price compared to its main competitors. The smartphone from LG weblog Google was the first (and currently the only) device with Android 4.4 KitKat born , the most recent version of the open source operating system for mobile devices weblog Google . But it is not true for all his specimens.

Into A buyer particularly lucky (or unlucky, depending on your point of view) has indeed had a surprise when he turned on his new Nexus 5: the OS was not installed KitKat, but Key Lime Pie , ie what should be the next release of Android. The news was released on the XDA developers forum.

Into The user Slorks wrote that, once turned on the device, instead of KitKat found a test version of Key Lime Pie (code-named HammerHead), as you can see in the screenshot below. As reported by Slorks, the OS had many bugs and was highly unstable.

Into Slorks For this reason, even with the assistance of Google engineers, he was able (not without some difficulty) to upgrade to KitKat , even though someone else had advised him not to do so, since “In 10 years it could be worth something on eBay.”

It is not uncommon as you may think that a new device is sold with on board an old build of Android , but it is automatically updated to the first version, what which it is not possible with the test build. But it is at least strange that the device has instead given OS version after the current one.

Into But there is also another possibility: Key Lime Pie was the intended name for the version 4.4 of Android, then changed to surprise KitKat after an agreement between Google and Nestlé. The operating system found by Slorks on your Nexus 5 could then be an old build of Android 4.4 before it was renamed KitKat.
