[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n7of9:
you need to verify your phone number before being able to use it for sms

hit the plus button and add a contact...then select the contact's name from the top of the screen (next to the green handouts icon), and choose their phone number instead of their email address
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] two00lbwaster:
Quite aside from not wishing to verify my number with Google, I shouldn't have to. SMS should be completely devoid of this kind of requirement as it is very basic mobile phone functionality.

I have spent quite some considerable time today turning off location services and and any data sent back to Google. I've also been disabling certain Google Apps and would disable more if it would let me. I've also found that App Ops seems to have been disabled too, so I can't even control what third party apps do; which was part of the reason for getting a 4.3+ phone.

At the moment, it seems that I can send messages, and hopefully something like Contacts+ will be updated to work with 4.4 and I can then disable Hangouts.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n7of9:
you can disable hangouts now, you just need to install an alternative sms app if you don't like the default...try Handcent

and don't be angry when someone is trying to help you

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotleadsingerguy:
So install your own SMS app...4.4 allows you to use any SMS app as the default App, and then you can even uninstall Hangouts if you want to.

That's the beauty of a Nexus device.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] two00lbwaster:
Sorry, I'm just angry that Google have just foisted the Hangouts app onto 4.4 users when it clearly isn't user friendly enough and makes one of my most common uses of the phone difficult.

I'll try Handcent. Contacts+/Messages+ doesn't currently seem to support 4.4 as you can't set it as the default messaging application and you can't send outgoing messages (It looks like you can send messages but they just disappear and aren't sent.)

The issue that I'm having is that not a lot of messaging applications support 4.4 yet. And as I've found with Messages+ if it doesn't support it you can have issues with messages that don't send/disappear.

You can uninstall Hangouts updates, you can't uninstall it. And if you uninstall the updates, you can't disable it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adiliyo:
Sliding messaging was updated to be compatible with 4.4, you can try it out
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scottland:
I'm with the OP on this, I received my N5 today and it's almost impossible to start a new SMS conversation from within the app.

The app itelf is quite nice, but the SMS experience is sub-standard to say the least. I know I can go install another SMS app - but that's not the point, it's like shipping the phone/software with no dialer in it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BmoreTHOR:
I must be a brain scientist or a rocket surgeon or something... all I had to do to create to new SMS was click the "+" then start typing my contact's name or number. If my contact has a phone number associated with it I can select that for an SMS or their email for a hangout message......
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BugJuice:
Im confused and whether i understand your question properly. Anyways in the actual recipients message you can click their name and switch from a SMS conversation to a google talk/hangouts message. Not sure if that helped or not. You can more clearly see what i am talking about in this video. http://youtu.be/0ZFc3NFqfFk
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scottland:
You must be ;)

I've just tried to send an SMS to my mum, on her contact card she has a mobile number and email address. When I try to send a message, at the top I only have "Hangouts" as an option.

If I try another contact (who does have a G+ account), I have the option of SMS or Hangouts.

[Asus Transformer TF701] aznmode:
Anyone else have a warmer screen? My tf700 has a more blue or cooler screen. Kinda reminds me of the nexus 10 screen.

Update: Found online that the included app "splendid" allows you to adjust screen temperature.
[Asus Transformer TF701] mingkee:
I wish I could adjust RGB individually like Windows.
[Asus Transformer TF701] xRevilatioNx:
I found going one degree cooler in the splendid app made mine better. How about you guys?
[Asus Transformer TF701] xRevilatioNx:
Based on another users recommendation, I went -6 (cooler) on the splendid app and it made the screen even brighter.
[Asus Transformer TF701] aznmode:
I think that was me on the transformerforums. Im really glad they built this in. Wish the hp slatebook x2 had it. That had an even more warmer screen.
[Asus Transformer TF701] EasyOne:
Compared to my TF700 the screen looked too yellow for me also. It was easy to correct with the Splendid app, now it looks nearly identical to the 700 but with better color saturation. Win, Win.

The one annoying problem with the display is the auto brightness, it changes constantly, like every few seconds. Anyone else have this problem?
[Asus Transformer TF701] xRevilatioNx:
What is your settings for brightness and the splendid app? I don't have a problem with the auto brightness. It's pretty much doing its job to save battery life. When on any websites with a lot of text, it tends to brighten up. I actually like the feature because it puts much more emphasis on enjoying your reading experience , which is a plus for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mevensen:
Is there native support for the N5 to act as a WiFi Hot Spot? Or do we need a third party app for that function? If so, would that require root access?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vincent Law:
There's no reason it wouldn't support it natively, the OS will have the functionality. The only restriction will be your carrier's data plan. If your carrier doesn't offer it, it will not appear as an option in Settings and you'll have to do an unofficial (app-based) method instead. Pretty much bog standard for any Android device.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:
I had this problem with my Xu

First step to try

Search on PC for advance startup

You want to find advance reboot

When your PC reboots you need to find advanced startup options.

Then press number 7 on your keyboard this should disable driver signing

Carry on to power up your PC

Then try to install your drivers with fast boot if this method still give you errors please proceed to below

go to device manager on win 8

Turn oFF ur phone

Hold vol down and plug in ur phone will be on fastboot

On device manager double click ur phone have to be quick

install fast boot drivers manually then do the same for vol up and USB (flash mode ) reboot and try again
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:

[MENTION=2836244]nosmaster[/MENTION]:

Except it not working on 8.1... There is a different USB handling, and it fails to enumerate USB device, and you can't install any driver without windows enumerating a device. You just don't have any possibility in that case.

Im noticing quite a bit of stuttering in all transitions. Landscape to portrait or opening apps. Im quite surprised considering this has a tegra 4. I had the hp slatebook x2 and it was super smooth. Anyone else experiencing the same?
[Asus Transformer TF701] elrar2012:
Did see this but after turn off all energy saving the problem was gone and the tablet was even working may better

Sadly cos another problems I don't have the tablet anymore.

[Asus Transformer TF701] aznmode:
Ive tried disabling energy saving and did help a little bit. Did not help with transition from landscape to portrait. The only way I got rid of it was to enable developer mode and enable Force GPU, MSAA4, and Disable Hardware overlay.
[Asus Transformer TF701] AngryDinosaur:
upgrade to latest firmware first if you havent done so. go on asus website
[Asus Transformer TF701] aznmode:
I did this with the 1st tablet but did not make a difference but I'm updating my new one now so well see.

UPDATE: as I expected the update didn't fix the stutter. Now I don't know if I should play the waiting game or just buy the hp slatebook again.
[Asus Transformer TF701] AngryDinosaur:
90% it is the Asus UI overlay. We will get better performance when devs are rolling out roms.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Snah001:
Maybe because I use Nova Launcher i don't have any lags because I am not using the Asus stock launcher.
[Asus Transformer TF701] aznmode:
Are you saying yours stutters too? I thought you recommended the update for a reason. I'll give it a month before my return period ends. I really had high hopes for this one. First Prime, then tf700 now this. Cmon Asus get it right.
[Asus Transformer TF701] AngryDinosaur:
i havent update mine yet, its still downloading, i dont know the patch notes for the update so i dont know what it actually changed. i honestly think its Asus UI. the hardware is good, so the only affecting performance is the software

[Asus Transformer TF701] aznmode:
But do you see the stutter (jitter, frame skip) im talking about? Youre saying you dont have this issue?

Ill be getting my HP slatebook x2 next week and be able to show you guys comparison of how much butter smooth that tablet is. Had it before but returned it to wait for the tf701.
[Asus Transformer TF701] xRevilatioNx:
You returned it because of that? Really?
[Asus Transformer TF701] aznmode:
Yup returned the hp before as I thought the tf701 will be the better device with 32gb and better screen. I didnt think it would stutter and games not be as smooth as the hp. with cromi on my tf700 i feel the only difference with the tf701 now is its just faster. I dont know if that speed is worth a $500 upgrade.

Disabling HW overlay only seems to help a bit.
[Asus Transformer TF701] xRevilatioNx:
Well here's the opinion of a highly touted and very respected developer on this site. Looks like you jumped ship a bit to early my friend...

Hold up... I just saw YOU were the one who posed the question to him... LOL! So there you have it. Asus will more than likely get it fixed. If Asus is known for one thing, it's their due diligence on fixing these early software problems. You should have exercised patience...

Lastly, you know better. You've been around here long enough, aznmode....

[Asus Transformer TF701] aznmode:
Lol where is this question I supposedly asked? Below was my post on that thread you linked. I searched the entire thread and not once did I ask any question.

"Im sure sdbags will do wonders with this tablet as he did the tf700. But I do have stuttering and it rebooted on me once. I pressed the home button and it stuck being high lighted, pressed the power button once and it rebooted."

My issue here is with asus and the tf701. Just like the prime and the tf700 asus has never fixed issues early. They issue incremental fixes like every few months. I've had both. Close to a year then the Prime was better but still had issues. Tf700 several months later is still buggy and not to mention stutters and lags. I ended up breaking my warranty and unlocked it so I can use sdbags cromi. And as I stated sbdags will probably do wonders with this tablet but again the issue I have is with asus. And yes I have been here long enough to know what can and probably will happen and I was hoping this time around it wouldn't be the same with the tf701. So in the end it's up to me or you or anyone else to decide what we want to do regardless what anyone says or thinks. I really don't know why that bothers some people.

And we need to get back on topic. If you still want to discuss this please PM me.

I run a course through my neighborhood every day that measured exactly two miles on my Ford Escape odometer.

I have run the same route every day for a few years now.

Lately, since I got the gear I have been messing with different running/workout etc. apps.

I have been playing with Runtastic, MapMyRun and the pedometer that comes in the gear.

Runtastic and MapMyRun both chart your course on a map with GPS (& the 2 routes look identical) so you would think they would read exactly the same but they don't.

Running the same route step for step, MapMyRun reads almost exactly 2 miles whereas Runtastic reads 1.8 miles & the pedometer reads 2.2 miles LOL.

I don't really care, all 3 are accurate enough for what I do, I just get a kick out of the differences......

HI, i am having several issues, most of which are small.

The first one is that my battery life is seems extremely short. it only lasts twelve hours. I thought that cyanogenmod would bring an increase in battery life. Ive researched apps that are supposed to help the life of the battery but im not really sure how to use them.

My second complaint is that my verizon visual voicemail is gone. can anyone help me get it back. im currently flashed to cyanogenmod 10.1.3

And my third and last issue is that my screenshot ability is gone from when i had the stock rom. is there a solution for this or an alternative way to screeshot without having to buy another app to do so?

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Restola:
Open Google Maps, Settings, Location Services -> disable location reporting

Not sure, sorry

Hold the power button, select Screenshot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FosterD:
there is no power button screenshot option. do you know anywhere i can get the apk file at. i tried restoring it via titanium backup from when i backed everything up before the flash, but it doesnt finish restoring. it just pops up with a dialog box and stays there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CrustyMcLovin:
You need to enable the "Advanced Reboot" menu within Developer options. Once you check that box you'll have the screen capture option.

If you can't find Developer options then you need to enable that first, Do that by going into Sttings -> About Phone and keep tapping (7 times?) the Build Number until it enables the additional menu.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FosterD:
thats correct, not even the original screenshot method works, and yes twelve hours is short considering that when i was on stock rom i would go from morning to night without having to charge my phone, and even sometimes the next morning.

im not a very heavy phone user as u may be able to tell. and with cwm recovery, how exactly do you install roms from an sd card, and how do you wipe everything using cwm. i dont want to risk destroying my phone. my budget cant support buying new **** at the moment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
IMHO I suggest switching to TWRP. A lot of people seem to have issues with CWR. YMMV of course but you may find you prefer TWRP. TWRP will restore your CWR nandroids.

I am even thinking of going back to touchwiz just for the battery, even though i despise touchwiz.

You can take screenshots by pressing vol down and power button at the same time and holding for a sec. Hope i helped, and hope someone can help me with my battery issues.

Find it to be verging very close to false advertising when a product sold as a 16gb device in reality is only a 11gb. That's 5 entire gb missing to the OS. That's fairly huge, but either way, don't market something as 16gb. Where's this extra 5 going to exactly?

[Nexus 5 General] prawnguevara:
In fact, the total space listed in storage is 12gb, of which almost 11 is 'available'. I don't get it. Surely the total space should be 16gb.
[Nexus 5 General] Dredyouall:
It's been this way with phones for ages now. The advertised memory always includes the OS reserved partition. And it is 12.5GB last I checked.

[Nexus 5 General] Dragooon123:
This isn't anything new? Any device advertised as 16Gb has generally 11-12 Gb effectively available for user storage, rest of it goes into formatting information, OS (system apps etc) and stuff. Also, it's the difference between counting GB as 1000 vs 1024 MB.
[Nexus 5 General] bmolloy:
That does seem like a lot, but straight from their site in the memory specs it says:

Memory

16 GB internal storage (actual formatted capacity will be less)

2 GB RAM

There are always these posts when a new phone comes out. The storage is total, not what is left after the OS is on it. Look at a Samsung or HTC phone and see how much they use, it will blow you away how much space all the skins take, not to mention how much all of the bloatware a carrier puts on it.
