Android Lollipop Runs 18.1% of Active Android Devices Worldwide

Google has released the latest Android version statistics on August which clearly shows that Android Lollipop is gaining in percentage. This information is usually updated by Google every month but this July, mysteriously, the company skipped the update.

Beginning with the latest version of Android available, namely, Lollipop presently stands at 18.1 percent of the all active devices powered by Android. This is an impressive 6% increase compared to the June update. Android KitKat, however, continues to hold the top spot with a share of 39.3%. Jelly Bean's share has declined from 34.7% in June to 33.6% in August. And, the ageing Gingerbread and Froyo continue their descent into oblivion, now standing at a mere 4.6 percent and 0.3 percent respectively.

These stats are based on active Android devices. Google defines active devices as those that have checked into Google’s Play Store app during this period.

How to Cancel Downloads in Google Chrome for Android

Google Chrome is one of the most popular web browser on Android and Desktop alike. It packs a host of powerful features combined with superior speed that makes it lovable to Android users. But unlike other mobile web browsers, Google Chrome doesn't provide an option to cancel downloads. The downloads in Chrome are directly controlled by the built-in Download Manager within the Android operating system. So, the way around to stop a download in Chrome for Android is to go to Settings and open Apps. Now go to the tab which says All. Scroll down to find Download Manager and tap on it. Touch on Force Stop. The download icon will vanish from the notification bar. Tapping on Clear Data will ensure that the problem doesn't come back again. Was this information helpful?
