[Android Studio] CodeMonkeyAlx:
Maybe I am just a Zealot but I have been using AS for close to 4 - 5 months now as my standard IDE. I cant get over how well it just works for me. I'm hoping they have a 1.0 out by the time I/O '14 happens but if not I will continue to use it. For me it just works. It seems like it takes far less time to code things with AS than eclipse.

Granted there are a few minor annoying things about it like importing can be a pain in hind end since sometimes the IDE automatically senses things to be imported and offers up the alt+enter bubble and sometimes you need to fidget with it to get it sense them. There is as far as I know (Maybe I did not dig enough correct me if I am wrong on this) no way to just do a mass import. Aside of that again correct me if I am wrong I do not know of any shortcuts to format my code to make it look pretty so sometimes I need to manually tab / space to make things look nice.

Aside of that NDK support the last I checked was not available but for a person like me I don't use the NDK yet so I am in no huge rush for it to be working. IF I need it I can just install eclipse and call it a day.

I have had a few issues during setup that were easily fixed with in a half hours time and at that its well worth the fixing because to me like I said coding just flows with AS. Going back to eclipse now would just make me feel like its going to slow.

Also the AS custom "Darkula" theme is a nice addition makes nighttime coding much more manageable.

So there is my take on it. Good / Bad... I like it and in the end its up to the user to see whats going on and what fits them.

ramdisk for the win

I'm new to android dev, but have been a windows c/c# dev for years, and loved Visual Studio.

I started out with Eclipse, but find Android Studio very good. The whole gradle/maven side of it is a mystery to me right now, but frequently using 'sync gradle' and 'gradlew.bat' solves most of my problems.

As for slow startup, I highly recommend using a ramdisk. Dev is one of the few areas that can benefit from a ramdisk, due to the number of temporary files created during compile, and the near-instant read/write (10x faster than an SSD). You'll need approx 6+ GB, depending on your OS. Here's a great walkthough for setting up AS with a ramdisk on windows: http://buttur.com/setting-up-android-studio-on-ram-disk

Does anybody know the exact reasons why Google dropped Eclipse and an went with IntelliJ?

Obivously IntelliJ is more stable, but is there another reason? Technically?
[Android Studio] rusty_bit:
I've been using only Android studio for a little while and I really like it! I don't plan on using anything else and I think it will only get better with time! But this is my personal opinion and I'm sure not everyone will agree!
[Android Studio] AMedviediev:
I use Android studio exclusively, it's like a breath of fresh air after eclipse.
[Android Studio] surlac:
IntelliJ platform originally was a commercial product, thus quality is good. Now they gave it to public.

I think the main reason of switching to IntellIJ is quality. It's two different things if you're designing and developing product as your "weekend-project" or as part of your full-time job.

(Of course sometimes you can find exceptions, but generally the difference in quality is huge).
[Android Studio] upmyway:
AS is OK for me

I'm currently using AS for a simple app dev and I like the environment , may be some optimization for compilation delay to improve but there are tons of options , easy help and so on. I prefer it than Eclipse because it's more stable.
[Android Studio] vlad1m1r90:
Android Studio is much better then Eclipse for Android Developers. Even in beta faze it had much less bugs.
[Android Studio] LeonardW:
I am still using Eclipse because there are tons of plugins there. AS is pretty good but for some features you can only find in Eclipse 3rd party plugins.

The stability issue is really a pain for Eclipse. I will switch to AS once its ecosystem built up.
[Android Studio] noodleneo:
android studio is no match to eclipse
[Android Studio] surlac:
AS is pretty good now. Currently I think the bottleneck is SDK tools for "Developing with pleasure", these guys could do a better job with "dx".

Android Studio is really good. It's more easy and convenience when comparing with eclipse.
[Android Studio] maxreload:
what is android studio?
[Android Studio] GameTheory.:
In laymens terms, android studio is the software you use to create apps. You can check it out in the following link...

developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

As to what some others are speaking about, I made all my apps for the play store in android studio with no problem at all. I usually also have Geany open for linux beside android studio so that I can write pseudo code before copying it into my AS project.

AS is definitely the way to go since it's much better quality. When I used eclipse I found myself spending more time troubleshooting it than writing code. Eclipse was just too buggy. AS was more stable than eclipse even when it was in beta lol.
[Android Studio] surlac:
Wow, Geany is awesome, +1 ! Fast as lightning, templates, wrote and executed java hello world in seconds. (Of course no comparison to AS, but so fast!)

What kind of emulator do you use to supplement your AS+Geany set: original, genymotion, VirtualBox+x86?
[Android Studio] GameTheory.:
I actually don't use an emulator. I have a few android devices that cover android ICS to LP and since I only develop apps for ICS+ I use my devices to test on.

If I ever find myself not having a device with an android version I need I'll try an emulator though. Out of the ones you mentioned which is your absolute favorite? Genymotion looks pretty awesome, I bookmarked it for future reference. Thanks for mentioning it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProudSikh:
I love using this phone so far, but the one thing I can't stand is I've changed my notification ringtone to the proper one, but hangouts doesnt use it at all. Im assuming hangouts wasn't integrated fully and thats why it doesnt use the notification ringtone as the proper ringtone. Is there a path to the ringtone that hangout uses?

I have no problem backing up that ringtone and replacing it with my custom ringtone. I've had to do this before for earlier versions of android and for iOS. I just need to know where to look.

I will have more time when I get home but tonight will be a long day at work so if anyone see's this and can answer it, I will appreciate it greatly.

Thanks,

Sikh
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProudSikh:
Ok so the option is actually under settings under the hangouts app. Its Hangouts App > Settings > Sound.

I wish it would be in the actual sound settings like all of the other sound types (Phone, Notificaiton) but oh well.

I love consistency, so I looked where I thought it would make sense and then figured it wasn't implemented. But I went back just now and looked in the settings of the app and realized its right there.

Sorry for opening this thread, please close Admin/Mod.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoRRo89:
ok, you've found where it is... anyway in this menu you can set it to use the system default so you can change it on system setting and make it change even in hangouts.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EwokIng:
no it isn't

You were correct, there is actually no setting to edit the ringtone for voip calls in hangouts through google voice. It sucks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
You could download Zedge.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whyzor:
The bug still exists in Hangouts app 3.0 released today that prevents changing to a custom ringtone. The default Hangouts ringtone is too quiet. Google is such a sloppy software company these days.

How have you guys NOT noticed this yet? The vibrate tick box registers (it turns it on & off), as tested by incoming calls. But changing to any ringtone does NOT register, always ringing with default sound still. Bad Google, very bad, after about 6 months since Hangouts + GV integration in sept 2014, this basic feature is still missing.

If I (or anyone with basic programming skills) had access to the Hangouts source code, it'd take less than an hour to find & fix.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babtsoul345:
Hey guys I bought a s3 i9300 1 month ago used. When I got it, it was rooted and had a custom recovery. After a few hours it started freezing then restarting. I then flashed android revolution HD 32.0 based on 4.2.2 leak and it hasn't rebooted or froze once to date. My problem is whenever I install any custom ROM Samsung based or stock Google based it keeps on rebooting and freezing except android revolution HD. Why does it do that? I want to install liquid smooth for better memory management but I can't because of this! I have cwm 6.0.xx BTW. (Can't remember the exact version ) I'm not new to flashing and rooting but any help will be appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashraf sharif:
did you try to install an actual official firmware? not "stock based" you may want to try flashing a firmware from sammobile using odin. this will let you know if the issue is hardware related. if you are running anything custom IE rom,recovery or kernel. that could be the cause. best way to find out is to get your phone back to stock. if the probems persist than probably you have a hardware problem. read the stickies for instrucions on how to return to stock. good luck

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heroisnotdead:
Greetings all!

I've been a very satisfied and loyal supporter of Ting for nearly two years now. However, I've decided to get myself a 32gb Nexus 5 from the playstore (arrives tomorrow, yaay!) with the hopes that I'll eventually be able to BYOSD to Ting. For now, I'm trying to settle on an ATT MVNO since TMO coverage is awful around here for miles.

Here is my usage on Ting:

under 100 mins

no texts (I use Google voice for SMS)

150mb average data use

I pay about 15-25ish per month depending on usage.

What I'm looking for in an ATT MVNO:

Decent Customer Service

Unliminted (or even decent amount) SMS/MMS/VOICE

Decent amount of data, say 250mb-1gb.

Reliable autopay and number porting.

No more than $40/month

I would like to port my Ting number once I feel "safe" and satisfied with the ATT MVNO.

I'm thinking of going with red pocket for now since I can get a free sim from callingmart.com with 39.99 of service. However, I'm nervous about the repeated complaints about inconsistent data throttling with Red Pocket. If I like the ATT service, I'd like to port my "real number" over to AIO because I've heard they have better CS, LTE, and a more reliable data throttle of 256kbps after the plan cap. I wish they had more LTE data (in my price range), but I can deal with the 256kpbs throttle if I breach 250mb.

I like the larger data pools of Airvoice and RP but the strange stories about having to call in to reset data or restore service are unsettling. I've never had an issue with my Ting service. Ting CS kind of spoils you.

Am I being paranoid?

Aside from you owning a nexus 5, I think this thread belongs over at the Howard forums because it has nothing to do with the Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chivo559:
Dang, was wondering the same thing.

I'm in the same boat, but migrating from Sprint. I was hoping to hear what the community had to say on the matter of AT&T MVNOs. XDA is my trusted source. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhys'Droid:
I would also like to see what the community here thinks on this matter. I'm currently with Sprint, was considering Republic Wireless, but when the Nexus 5 came out decided that I prefer that to the MotoX and so was looking at Ting. Hopefully they will come around to allowing a Play Store Nexus on Ting, but until then I'd sure like to get away from my $85 per month plan I have with Sprint towards something in the $20-$40 range. ATT and Sprint have decent coverage where I am, T-Mobile is not an option, unfortunately.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johmama:
I would highly recommend Aio Wireless. Their $40 plan fits all of your criteria, and I've been really satisfied with them after 2 months. I currently use the $70 plan and the speeds and coverage are great. I would also recommend installing their MyAio app to keep track of data/pay/etc and their Visual Voicemail app which is really great to use. I can't comment on their Autopay feature because I like to manually pay my bills to keep track of where all of my money goes, but their payment method via app and desktop is painless and quick.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatical:
About 18 months ago, I left Sprint for Straight Talk. They have everything unlimited* for $45. You get unlimited 2.5GB of 4G (LTE & HSPA+ for at&t SIM, HSPA+ for T-Mobile SIM), then 2G until the end of the month. I only had to call them once after i ported a secondary Google Voice number to them (I couldn't add a service card online). I read that the customer service is bad, but it seemed fine to me. I usually get around 5Mbps, but sometimes its faster/slower too.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaindil:
I'll second Straight Talk. I've had no problems whatsoever with them. I did have to call to activate my SIM card (the online process messed up somehow), and I had to talk to the manager as the first rep had no idea what I was talking about, but overall it's been great.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davew:
I have a couple of generic Android tablets, one based on the Allwinner A10 chipset and the other based on Rockchip RK3066. With both tablets I was able to get hold of a build of xpad.ko, the Xbox controller driver for wired and wireless Xbox controllers, and with a little jiggery-pokery they both work pretty well with supported apps.

However for my SGS2 I have searched high and low for a build of xpad.ko that will work with the stock 4.1.2 rom I have on the phone and I can't find anything.

Does anyone know of a standalone download of xpad.ko I could use, or a kernel I could flash with it baked in? I really don't want to flash a whole new ROM though, I'm pretty happy on stock.

Kind regards

Dave

FWIW my USB OTG support seems to be working fine, I tried with a USB keyboard and mouse and a pendrive and all seems to be well.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Fluba:
I noticed the default Email application (with the yellow icon) has been updated. I now see icons representing the name of the contact, similar interface to Gmail, etc. One thing I thought I remember reading about was message threading. This doesn't seem to be working though. Each email I with the same subject (just replies) is continuing to be put in a separate thread/email item. Is there an option I am missing that will enable threading? Sure, it's not a huge disappointment, but I figured with this many years under its belt, the default Email app would allow threading of messages. My dad doesn't like text messaging so we regularly email throughout the day resulting in 12+ emails. Right now, they are still showing up as 10+ email even though they could be shown similar to Gmail in 1 thread.

Thanks.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lancair360:
Lets say I buy the 32 GB Nexus 5 from the play store (because Sprint is only offering the 16GB version). Somewhere down the line I lose the phone, or it quits working so I put in a claim for a replacement with Sprint's insurance. Are they going to send me a new/refurbished 32GB model or am I going to get the 16GB version? My guess is they send me the 16GB version thereby defeating the purpose of buying the 32GB Nexus from the play store. Anybody have experience with this issue?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenjiwing:
Sounds like you should ask Sprint
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lancair360:
HAHA...yes.....good idea. Should have mentioned I already had asked them. In fact I asked 3 different Sprint reps and one on Chat. They all referred me to Asurion (their insurance provider) After 5 minutes of playing "lets push a button" the insurance rep told me they would replace it with a 32GB version IF THEY HAD IT IN STOCK. And if not in stock, which she advised would be the likely scenario, then they would offer me the 16Gb version. That is just not acceptable so it looks like no Nexus 5 for me. Incidentally, the Sprint reps all told me they have NO information on a Sprint 32GB version. Hard to believe since that version seems to be the most popular on Google Play store
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mevensen:
I have this same concern. It's probably best to drop the Sprint insurance and go with a 3rd party (SquareTrade, etc.). They won't cover theft/loss, but in just about any other way, they are superior. Currently, I have Sprint insruance on my Note 2, but I think I will drop it in favor of a thrid party solution. After all, I believe the decutible on Asurion is $200? So it's barely worth covering with them anyways. After a year, you would have enough to buy the phone again anyways (($10/month x 12 month) + $200 ded = $320).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itchiee:
Squaretrade looks to be $125 for 2 years which would be $5.20ish a month for 24 months.

I may go this route....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lancair360:
Thanks....that's a worthwhile option I wasn't aware of

Me: How would TEP (Total Equipment Protection) work for this device as I purchased it from Google Play instead of Sprint?

Steven B.: You can add TEP once the device will be activated, just like other regular devices.

Me: but, as this device is a 32gb device, if it were to malfunction, would it be replaced with a 32gb device, or would it be replaced with a 16gb device?

Steven B.: With the same device.

Me: even though Sprint does not sell that device?

Steven B.: You would have to wait until it's in stock.

Me: So Sprint does intend to sell the 32gb Nexus 5 sometime soon?

Steven B.: In the near future yes.

If you have stock Android recovery (Android system recovery 3e) you need to change kernel.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] galt:
Hi,

It's driving me nuts that when you answer or initiate a phone call on the Universal with the device in landscape mode (with no headset plugged in) that you still have to use the onscreen button to change it to speakerphone mode. There's no other way to use the phone when it's in landscape without using a headset, so why doesn't it default to this behavior?

Is there a registry edit or hack that could accomplish this? If not, what about a hardware keyboard shortcut to toggle the modes? Either way it would be helpful, especially when answering a call while driving with your Uni in a car cradle.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
galt: this isn't a solution, but can you do me a favour and test these two out.

If it works, they could potentially be inserted into a background task like VJBigPhone to detect switch to landscape and switch the speakerphone on.

WM5 only for now at least.

VJSpeakerPhoneOFF

VJSpeakerPhoneON
