[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TRusselo:
well if you are going to pay full price, get an un-branded, or international version from an online retailer. you may not save any money but you get choice.

and regarding cancelling your current contract.... if you 'move' to an address where a carrier doesnt have service, they usually let you out of your contract free of charge...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nash2000:
All fair points but Id hate to cancel since I have unlimited data. I guess I might need to start looking at the nexus line. Never had one, I few things turn me off but those aren't locked for what I understand. If AT&T is behind all of this...is it worth it to then to lose all these customers? I mean, what's the reason behind it anyway?
[Moto X Q&A] Scoopta:
I have a Moto X developer edition and I've been trying to OTA update to 139.15.1 but my phone fails with the error code 410. I found the Flashable zip and so I'm going to install it with that but for future installs how do I do it with the OTA. The phone failed both while rooted and while running a stock nandroid I made before rooting. With the stock nandroid the only thing modified was the unlocked bootloader. Yes I am using the stock recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Moto X Q&A] jayboyyyy:
there are threads out there already describing how to take the ota on a dev phone. But pure curiosity here, how in the hell are you making nandroid backups with stock recovery? I had noidea stock recovery allowed you to make those backups. I thought that was the point of other recoveries.
[Moto X Q&A] Scoopta:
It isn't possible to make a nandroid backup with a stock recovery. I meant I reflashed the stock recovery after making the backup. Anyway it is possible to make a backup that includes your stock recovery by using the fastboot boot command to boot to a recovery over usb rather than flashing it to your recovery partition.
[Moto X Q&A] jayboyyyy:
interesting. Still wouldn't expect the OTA to work if you booted that way though. The OTA would be checking the files on the phone not the files from the usb that are running the phone. I wouldn't think. But I could be really confused on what you just said. Either way, there are several threads on the matter that should adequately answer all your needs.
[Moto X Q&A] Scoopta:
Yes it would appear you are confused on what I just said. Anyway I guess I'll browse around to find instructions on how to take an OTA for the next time there's an OTA released.
[Moto X Q&A] jayboyyyy:
i get what you were saying now. I thought you were saying that you were booting your phone from a usb drive that had the stock recovery on it so you could see if the OTA would take on your phone. Anyway, I dont' remember all of the steps that people were taking but it was pretty simplistic.
[Moto X Q&A] Scoopta:
ok...thanks for the info. I'll see if I can find a thread on it.

Hi all,

I mistakenly installed the 4.4 KitKat Launcher which updated Google Now, and since I don't have root (and one doesn't appear to exist yet), I'm stuck unless I do a full wipe. Anybody know of where to download the stock Google Now apk for 4.3? I'd rather not wipe over this one small issue, but maybe I'll have to. Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
I don't know where on xda to find one, but you can just download 'team blackout updater' from the play store and download one of themed Google now apk's they offer.

But if you're problem with the 4.4 Google now is just the force closing, all you have to do is switch the language to something else then switch back to fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] howetechnical:
Hah, nevermind. Just discovered the Uninstall Updates button. Reverted back to stock app and it's fine now.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewpmoore:
On my nexus 4 I could create new directories ("Ringtones","Notifications", "Alarms") on my virtual sd card and place tones in there. Then the preference lists for choosing these notification types showed the extra tones.

On the nexus 5 this doesn't seem to happen. Does anyone know of a different way to do this?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jabok:
I'm getting files show in the preference lists up from /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones - however they're just playing a "bong" noise, not the actual mp3.

all my ringtones and custom notifications are working just fine
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigidazzi:
Not working for me either on n4, n5, or the n7 with stock Rom. Worked fine when I used aokp.

The only way I can get it to sort of work now is use rings extended then select es file explorer and naturally navigate to the file. Then it plays fine. They just won't show up to preview them the way it normal did.

It does work I put them in the system audio notification ect folder, but I'm trying too avoid messing with system for the first time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigidazzi:
I got it working. Very frustrating. Initially what i did was download all my notifications and such from dropbox directly to my phone and put them in the correct folders. Rebooted ect and it didn't work. I was told to try plugging my phone into the computer and moving the folders and around and back into the right folder. Then I disconnected from computer then they showed up. I wonder if the media scan isn't working unless you unplug USB? IDK, but it works now.

Sounds silly, but try it.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l3s:
If the device rooted, you can move the files the /system/media/audio/ringtones, notifications etc. folder. Work like charm!

This did the trick for me too, thanks for the tip!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangofan:
On my Nexus 4 I had my ringtones in /sdcard/Ringtones and that doesn't work with the Nexus 5. I also tried /sdcard/media/Ringtones and that didn't work either. In both cases I even tried rebooting the phone after putting the mp3 files to hopefully trigger a media scan.

So what would the correct location be?

Thanks in advance,

Bernhard
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n7of9:
that works for me...I select the tones in any app via the default Media Storage picker
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangofan:
Now I'm wondering, if it's a problem with the mp3 format of my ringtones. Could you please do me a favor and see, if the ringtone in the attached zip file works for you, when you put it in /sdcard/Ringtones .

Thanks so much,

Bernhard
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n7of9:
i downloaded it, AirDroided the mp3 to my phone (default is storage/emulated/0) /notifications, and selected it as my Hangouts sms tone...sent an sms to myself, turned off the screen, and bazinga, it works

when you say /sdcard, do you mean you made that directory via pc, or are you referring to ESFileExplorer (or the like) reporting the directory as /sdcard? on Nexii, '/sdcard' just points to storage/emulated/0 [i think it's something called a simlink, but i don't know what that is]
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skribzy:
Works for for me... I use ASTRO File Manager

Notification MP3 went into SD Card > Media > Audio > Notification

Ringtone MP3 went into SD CARD > Ringtone
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tangofan:
I am referring to the way ES FileExplorer reports it, so /sdcard/Ringtones is in fact /storage/emulated/0/Ringtones.

Could you please try it with putting it into /sdcard/Ringtones as well and see, if Media Storage shows it as a Ringtone.

No idea, why this doesn't work for me, when it works for others.

sorry mate, I'm not doing it again, the result is going to be exactly the same
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethutch:
After some testing I can confirm this on a NON-ROOTED Nexus 5.

You can place notification sound files in either of these two locations, they work equally well. Note that this post, unlike many is typed with care and shows the EXACT path names from root with proper capitalization. I did not try all the bastardizations but case and plural/singular actually matter a lot of times.

/sdcard/Notifications (/storage/emulated/0/Notifications)

/sdcard/media/audio/notifications (/storage/emulated/0/media/audio/notifications)

HOW-EVER-ER...

You must move at least 1 file to the directory from your PC before ANYTHING will show up. It seems, and stands to reason, as others noted that moving from the PC while attached as a media device causes Android to rescan the directories. I did not test if you only need to move 1 file on the whole file system or if you have to do it per directory. But by moving one file out and back FROM THE PC all files in those directories became visible in notification pick lists.

I also rebooted after moving the files around. I probably should have checked before since it may not be necessary. But I am so accustomed to rebooting I forgot to test that.

Hope this clears things up.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ganeshp:
hey I got the same problem as you

The ringtone is not being picked default media storage and even it picked in some cases im getting the bong sound

so here is the work around

dont use the media storage as default ringtone picker .if you already did that ..go to settings->apps->all apps->media storage and clear defaults of it

then go to settings ->sounds->ringtone and use esfile explorer in this case ..select the ringtone you got using the file browser then it works :)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h0lyc0w:
Once you install the sound files in the various locations on the sdcard, such as /sdcard/Ringtones, you can update media storage by doing either of the following:

Go to settings -> apps -> all -> media storage and clear data, then reboot

Or

Use the app ScanMedia to update

For those of you who are looking to buy the Nexus 5 from outside the US, here's how I did it.

Even though my order is still Pending, I've bought four Nexus 4s and a Chromecast this year.

1. Download and sign up for a TunnelBear account (http://www.tunnelbear.com/).

- Reputable VPN app that allows you to connect to the US Play Store.

2. Turn on TunnelBear and connect to the US.

3. Sign up for a new Google Account, which you will use specifically for ordering devices from the Play Store.

- I tried using my main Google Account and my first Nexus 4 order on launch date didn't go through.

- If you already have an account for ordering, log in to that account instead.

4. Go to the Play Store and place your items in your cart.

5. Assuming you're going to want to use your non-US credit card, simply use your US shipping address as your billing address.

- Have had no problems with Google rejecting this so far but I guess YMMV?

- I've no experience with those package forwarding companies and have only sent it to my relative's house in the US.

6. Ordered.

Well I have asked this question a couple of times in the battery and wakelock thread. But that thread seems to be inactive so 'm asking it here.

The thing is I don't have WiFi access at home or college. So I rely totally on mobile data. Now the problem with mobile data is the 6 sec data transfer wakelock(multipdp) and a couple of more wakelocks like the l2hsic. Now is there a way or workaround to reduce that timer to 1 or 2 sec.
