[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
In sorry but you have always been able to pick whatever you want and it would work without issue. All you had to do is turn off notifications in the stock messaging app which wasn't any harder than what you need to do now. What you didn't have to do was set your shiny new messing app as default because the operating system did it for you. If you installed multiple messaging apps like handcent and chomp it would then give the option to set one as default and you could go into the main settings/applications and remove that default just like any other application installs such as launchers or galleries where more than one app could be called to perform an action.

See above. Assuming all the various messaging apps get tuned up to work on 4.4 you will have exactly the same options you had on 4.3, no more no less. There is no now you can pick.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacob_woolf:
I disagree. Back in the days of 2.3 (before there was a decent stock messaging app) I used Handcent and had nothing but problems. Granted, part of it may have been my lower end phones (Samsung Intercept followed by Motorola Triumph), but I had constant problems with messages not always sending or getting double notifications. I never got MMS to work with Handcent either, I always had to go back to stock to download/send MMS.

Regardless, it's quite irrelevant to the topic at hand. It doesn't matter if you're on KitKat or ICS or Donut, I just wanted to hear what some people's favorites were, so I can try different things. I'm sure other users will agree.

Bbm cuz that's how I roll lol i got a lot of friends with blackberrys
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
Misdirection never works. I have been on android since s few days after it saw public release and used handcent at the time you spoke of without any issue. Whatever issue you had belonged to you, your phone, and it's app load and had nothing to do with the fact you could or couldn't pick whatever app then or now. You could use whatever app you wanted at any time. Saying "Now that you can pick" is wrong and that is what you said.

Your last paragraph is correct, you wanted to hear what other people were using to text. The end. That's fine, just drop the pretense that this is something new and now you can finally do what you could not before. You have no new capability. I am BTW still chuckling over the fact that you're saying you have been on android since 2.3 and you did not know you simply needed to turn of notifications in the stock app. Yet you want to argue. lol

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacob_woolf:
I'm not trying to misdirect anything. I'm simply trying to get you to quit trolling the thread. I stated before that my issues were likely my lower end hardware, and now you're trying to use that as an argument against me. I'm also more than aware that all I had to do was "turn off notifications" - I'm not a dumbass. I turned off notifications. My point was, just because I turned them off, didn't mean it always worked.

I wasn't getting all excited about any sort of new capability. Maybe I worded it poorly. I simply wanted to provide a thread where people could share their opinions.

I'm shocked by your immaturity. It was a simple poll, you could have answered, and moved on with your life (as everybody else has). Instead, you needed to argue about some mundane point, completely irrelevant to the topic at hand, in order to make yourself feel big. Let me guess, you're looking at my low post count and assuming I'm just another noob? I've been lurking on this forum for years. Just because I didn't feel the need to start posting until recently doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about.

4.4.1 killed bbm

.72 version of bbm worked fine on 4.4

But now after yesterday's update within a few minutes of closing bbm no more messages will come through until the app is opened again.

4.4.1 does something strange to some running apps. If you look in settings it runs using 0.00B after 5 minutes.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vikasmal:
Ok, I am going to sound fairly foolish I know; but have been trying to look for a way of stopping active sync prior to disconnecting the USB cable from the Exec. There is no such option on the phone under the Active Sync Menu items (in fact, the only one highlighted is 'Status', all others are greyed out). No option on the Active Sync 4.1 on the PC either. Tried to stop the device by going to the USB manager but no option for the Exec.

Usually I have just been yanking the USB cable out of the Exec but fear that may not be the optimum solution. Am sure there is another way but am too daft to notice and this irks me some.

Anyone who can shed any light on this? Thanks a lot.

Cheers, Vikas
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Try this from the WiKi pages:

How can I stop Active Sync from always turning-on even when it is not connected to my PC?

Go to menu->add server source->write down any server address (fake)->complete procedure then menu->schedule->switch to manually (at the top of the list)

You can delete the created server after you configure your schedule. This only stops active sync from opening automatically when not connected via USB, but it does not stop active sync from actually syncing every 5 minutes or so when connected to your computer via USB.

I am not sure which one you want to stop, but this suggestion saves your precious memory and battery as well.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dmr54:
That fix works a treat as well, I did this on my Pro and all is fine although I did not have to create a server account as I actually use a hosted Exchnage account, but only wanted to sync when I wanted to not automatically.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vikasmal:
Thanks Christian, appreciate it. Tried out your suggestion and it seems to work though I was unable to delete the fake server address entered.

Actually, wanted to know what is the best procedure to follow if my Exec is connected to the PC with the USB cable, and I have synced my data. After that, I wish to disconnect. In that case, do I just take the USB cable out of the Exec or should I first try and disconnect some other way and THEN take the cable out? Thanks.

Cheers, Vikas.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Hi Vikas,

You can delete the created exchange server by:

Active Sync>Options>Highlight the name of the server you want to delete>Tap Delete>Tap YES to the prompt message

There is no icon nor menu to disconnect if you are connected via USB to your computer. Just make sure that your Universal is idle and not currently syncing before you unplug it from the USB. You can also press the OFF button then pull out the USB cable if you prefer.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vikasmal:
Dear Christian,

Thanks a ton, really appreciate it. Will do as you suggest and follow the instructions.

Will check and see that the computer is not syncing before disconnecting the USB cable to the Exec.

Thanks a lot again.

Cheers, Vikas.
[Moto X Q&A] anotherfiz:
Now that we have 4.4 with write protection borked, has anyone worked out a list of what can be disabled and what cannot as far as bloat is concerned?

Here's what I disabled; no issues thus far:

Calculator

Caller name ID

Email

Google Play Movies & TV

Moto Care

Moto Migrate

Nfl Mobile

Verizon Tones

VZ Navigator

I'm sure you can disable more, but I think that's the bulk of it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silicon Knight:
I noticed this issue on my Galaxy S4, S3 and Note 3, when I had them, but turning off the various screen automation controls those phones had generally took care of it. My nexus 5 however, doesn't have options for those, except the standard auto-brightness, which is turned off, so I am not sure why my screen dims a lil bit and then goes back to normal, at random times. It's pretty annoying. Has anyone else noticed this issue, and know of a fix ? I haven't found much info on it when I searched for it. Found plenty about the Galaxy series tho lol*
[One (M7) General] Galaid:
I remember 2009, there was a phone called HTC Hero. It had 288MB of RAM, but it had basic flash support. Four years ahead, we have 20x more CPU power and 10x RAM, and we are losing flash. I believe you can return at least a single customer if you bring the flash back to 4.4+.

Flash works now even better than on desktop PCs, so really there is no excuses performance and battery wise not to have it on board anymore.

And to everyone that are already preparing to reply how flash support is Adobe's fault, please don't. This thread is a prayer, not a whine and not a trouble ticket.

Thank you HTC and I hope we see you again on HTC One 2nd Edition running flash.
[One (M7) General] EtherealRemnant:
If you want Flash, grab it from Adobe's archive and install AOSP Browser from the Play Store... Its called Android Browser and it supports plugins.

I'm pretty certain that the Sense version will have Flash still.

Likes:

- Really dig the new blue CM boot animation.

- Choice of launchers.

- ROM usage is way better. To have this tablet have almost 500mb available at times when running is really good.

- You Tube is snappy and sound is great.

- All the Amazon apps work: Amazon Android Market APK, Cloud Drive, Kindle app.

- Movies play great on Netflix, Crackle and Tube Mate as well as playing personal movies with the internal player.

- Downloading works fine.

- Browser is fast and without glitches.

- Some real classy wallpaper choices.

Concerns:

Could not use my VPN (Private Internet Access) I tried updating Binaries through Super User (just to see if it would work.) Same response as last time when no root access could be given. Not sure what the deal is with my VPN. No servers had any latency when I can normally see a percentage amount.

Screen flips in portrait mode (listed known issue.) Just in case folks want to give a full test run before that's patched, the rotating screen does not happen in portrait mode. Also just touching the apps to run them in landscape mode does not rotate the screen.

After tinkering with it for some time, launcher one lost the widget settings and keeps FC to the point it was no longer uasable. Launcher 3 did not have this problem.

It's a dang fine ROM for the first drop. I gave it the best test I could. Thank you for your continuing efforts for our tablets, Hashcode.

My thoughts on 4.4:

- The interface is a lot less customizable than 4.3, No idea why but since this is not a performance issue, I don't really care!

- Feels much snappier while opening apps and changing orientation.

- Noticeably faster than 4.3.

- Lets you set wallpapers however you want, in 4.3 this was a major pain in my ass.

- Not sure if this is a new feature, but in any full screen app swiping from top edge reveals system UI.

- OK GOOGLE!!

Only met 2 bugs so far and it seems that nexus 10 4.4 users too have the same bugs

1- FLAC audio files stutter a bit if the screen is on and stutters LIKE HELL when sleeping! The only workaround i've found so far is to use Poweramp player

2- Stock browser crashes if you open an incognito tab.

Depending on the charger you are using, it can be a rather common issue for some android devices that the touch screen misbehaves while being plugged it. Although it is more common when using generic chargers, or cables that are a bit damaged.

Nope, I just use ALReader - this software supports immersive mode natively, but for some reason, immersive mode confirmation kep displaying.

I think, it is possible to partialy fix that issue by tuning config_immersive_mode_confirmation_panic in core/res/res/values/config.xml

Currently it's value is 500 msec - 5 seconds (if, for some reason, system detects unlock in less then config_immersive_mode_confirmation_panic msec after the lock - it think, that the user in panic, and displaying the messaage. Something (custom lock screen, for example) is tricking system, and it detects unexistent unlock action...

Maybe, if we change somehow this value - the behavior will change? For example, we can ask Hashcode to put the value 1 instead of 5000... or, maybe, oem overlay can be used....
