Are you sure the sideload flashed correctly without any errors? If everything went smoothly, the android build should have bumped to KTU84Q. Version number won't change AFAIK. It's still 4.4.4.

It was present from the beginning.. You must have missed it. It's in all devices. :angel:
[Nexus 5 General] SoumyasishD:
sideloading wont affect further availability of ota?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
No Sir, it won't! :)
[Nexus 5 General] SoumyasishD:
wondering about the reason why the update is not showing up OTA its a india bought handset(D821) complete stock..

Tried side loading first adb won't recognize the device now when downloaded the drivers from google the device is shown but after running adb reboot recovery when the phone boots and i tried to run the sideload command "device not found shown" tried 3 times ..
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Google rolls out the update in stages. It can take a while sometimes to reach you! You just need to be patient and wait it out.

Uninstall all adb drivers/installation and follow this thread to setup adb/fastboot : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

Could you share that?

I've an N5 that's rooted and on 4.4.4. I've got the OTA notification, but that'd break root, correct?

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
If you update via OTA zip, yes, it will break root. All you need to do is reflash the supersu.zip. If you're talking about the radio/modem flash, then NO, it won't break root. I've just zipped up the modem and nothing else.

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
If you start modding your device, you need to read a lot before you flash! If you knew about it, you would have first downloaded Bootunlocker and unlocked the bootloader before going ahead with the OTA flash :)

Anyways, lesson learned.

Even I keep the bootloader locked since my warranty is covered by LG and not google. :D But I make it a point to unlock the bootloader via bootunlocker each time I update my rom, kernel or any mod for that matter. :cyclops:

Same here... But I use trickster mod to unlock the boot loader before ota just to be safe for rooting and just fastboot boot the custom recovery to flash updates and the bootunlocker.zip...

I just noticed something... My phone's battery is draining more than before... I would only loose a % or so only after 5 mins of usage... But now its more fast... Like in 2~3 mins... I've attached my current stats... Why so???

More than 10 hours on battery with 59% left. I don't understand why you're complaining. Battery life seems great! :cyclops:

If you want to investigate further, look at the second screenshot. See the Awake time and Screen on time? They don't add up. Which means after you turn off the screen, there's some app/process which is keeping your device awake. This could be one of the reasons for battery drain.

Install Wakelock detector from Playstore and see what's keeping your device awake.

Follow this:

1. Charge your device to 100% and unplug it from charger.

2. Open wakelock detector and turn the screen off.

3. Wait for an hour and turn on the screen and open Wakelock detector.

4. Take screenshots of all the sections (kernel, general etc.) and post them here.

If you know how to read them, great. You will know the culprit in no time :)

Anyway, thanks a bunch! Cheers.

You can lock/unlock the bootloader without wiping data. You can even reset the tamper flag from within the app! :)

I didn't know that either. TBH, after I've started using ElementalX, I've stopped using Kernel Tweaker Apps completely. Everything I need to edit can be done from the aroma installer or via the config file :D

Try rebooting the device and see? If it continues, STOP using the charger. Try a different charger and see if the problem still persists? If you don't have a spare charger, I would suggest you charge via a computer in the mean time until you get hold of another charger.

I was rooted on stock Rom. Wanted to upgrade to KTU84Q without wiping my data as this wasn't a major update and I didn't want to set up everything again.

So I simply went to WugFresh Option, inside Flash Stock tab I selected No Wipe.

Now Flash Stock + Unroot. After the process completes without wiping data, I rooted it again with Custom Recovery using WugFresh Toolkit.

Nothing wrong with your device mate... Whatsapp, lighthflow and Googled search are preventing your device from sleeping. You can't help whatsapp and light flow as you are gonna get constant notifications from it. However, have you enabled 'ok google everywhere' setting? Looks like Google search is fetching something. Could also be a gps related wakelock. Do you keep your gps on all the time??

About whatsapp and light flow, if you want those wakelocks gone, you will need to greenify those apps. But doing so will stop them from sending push notifications.

Don't worry about power manager service and bam demux wakelocks as they are normal when you have working data connection enabled.

Well it does give an amazing feel to the screen..its as good as using nothing..that being said , u can go for any glass protector coz they are all the same..Nillkin was the same as this one and this costs less than half of that.

As far as the edges go, yes it does smooth out the edges and gives a premium feel to it but once u put on a case, u wont be able to feel the edges anyways.

So if u dont use cases then it will give a premium feel for sure..

Using a protector for a wrong cause I know. LOL :laugh:

Yes, it happens. The battery indicator on the screen isn't real-time. It calculates the current used and estimates the battery left. When you're playing, for eg. the phone was giving away 600mA and it calculated the battery drop to 4% but when you switched off the screen and locked it, the current fell down to 100-200 mA and hence the battery indicator rose 2%.

After following THIS thread and already had enough knowledge about towelroot, is it safe to root in that fashion? I already knew the basics about fastboot and adb as i've rooted htc one x :cool: OP mentioned that its an outdated method and no longer works because superSU app is updated and causes trouble while flashing binaries. What i need to know is whether root still works if i download and install superuser app from clockworkmod? I know what to do afterwards (bootloader, recovery, bla bla bla :D)

EDIT: One more thing, thanks to guys for saying there is a coupon for first time puchase via ebay. Now i need to buy some glass protector (nillkin is way too much :D) Please tell me which one should i buy? And can i get those protectors mentioned in ebay from mobile retailers too?

Superuser is different. It may or may not work. No one can answer that for you. Someone will need to try it and report back (which I doubt). Why don't you give it a try? :cyclops:

I can assure you that SoundMagic is the best in that range. I've used PL30 and they were simply awesome. Had bought it for Rs.1600 few years ago but unfortunately, my Labrador gobbled it up :( I then bought a Sennheiser cx180 since the PL30's were out of stock and using it ever since. They are nowhere as good as the PL30's!

Since you want one with a mic, the e10m is a superb choice. I've read some great reviews about it. Browse some more @ ebay, snapdeal, flipkart, "ebay.com /uk/ca " I'm sure you will get it at a good price.

If you really want a good case which will last you long enough, you should go with Ringke Fusion which costs Rs. 849 at eBay and with the discount you will get it for Rs. 699.. I know it's out of your budget but there's no point in buying a low quality one and keep changing when you get pissed off at it.

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 PM ----------

The PL30's were extremely rigid. Can't say much about the e10's as I haven't seen or used them personally. But as far as the reviews go, they are sturdy and up for a rough use. The pods are metal plated which surely adds to it's durability. However, the wire used is probably the same as any other pair of headphones.

It's not just Nillkin that has the bubble issue, all tempered glass ones have it. The issue is caused by the glass used on the Nexus 5. If you look at it in the right lighting, you will notice that it is not perfectly flat and has a dimple near the notification LED which is where everyone has been reporting bubbles. I just used a hair dryer to heat up the glass before applying my Nillkin protector and pressed down really hard to get rid of the bubble in that area.
