I suppose I could've just pulled up the review and read it for myself, eh? :)

I do a ton of reading on my phone, and it seems like SoT decreases when most of that time is made up of long stretches rather than a bunch of quick little sessions. I also can't go too low with my brightness because it strains my eyes to read a dim screen.

That said, I'm very much an opportunistic charger. I work from home so I'm able to keep it plugged into the charger a lot of the time. I rarely go below 50%. It's just when I'm out that it bites me in the a$$, since Sprint's network is so terrible where I live.
[Nexus 5 General] HughesNet:
Is that really all the error says? it doesn't have a line with more info? Something like it found unexpected data in some file or path?
[Nexus 5 General] big_adventure:
It's definitely true that bad network service seems to be the biggest non-gaming, unexpected killer on this (and most) phones.

At home, I've got excellent service (SFR in France), and it's often faster than my home broadband (Free). Places I work, it's hit or miss. My biggest client has some kind of weird effect - sometimes I connect at DC-HSPA+, and see 15-19mbps down and 1-2mbps up, and other times, from the exact same place, I'm stuck on good signal (max bars) but evidently hyper-saturated or under-provisioned EDGE - and battery gets KILLED trying to keep all of my syncs live, and browsing is basically impossible. The bad thing is that the center of the building is a dead zone, so whenever I cross it, the phone has to re-hunt up a link after, so a really excellent DS-HSPA connection can turn to a pathetic, depressing EDGE link for a couple of hours if I get up and get a coffee or something. Oh well, SFR is better than the other providers in that building - they often get nothing really usable at all.

Ah, well, LTE is getting turned on for my contract starting in 5 days, so everything should get better - a friend with an N5 gets 20-40mbps down and 10-20mbps up from the client's office I was talking about.
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
I'm stuck in a decent-sized market where the infrastructure (towers, etc) unfortunately is owned by a public utility that is under contract to provide Sprint-branded service until 2018. They have no financial incentive to upgrade to LTE until then, so for now I'm stuck on their slow, spotty, battery-killing 3g network. I HAVE noticed an improvement with 4.4.2 though.
[Nexus 5 General] Natakranta:
I've just read here that 4.4.2 brought back text reflow in webview. Could somebody with 4.4.2 and AOSP Browser installed check if it wraps the text after double tap as it used to do up to 4.3. If that's true it would really made my day. Please!

[Nexus 5 General] aliwho:
Android OS has been murdering my battery on 4.4.2. Any one else experiencing the same thing?

The attached screen shots are with only one hour of screen-on time.
[Nexus 5 General] ohthesepaws:
Clarify?

So i should go straight to 4.4.2 from 4.4? I am wondering if the people with the dark camera issue did the incremental 4.4 - 4.4.1. If so I would just like to avoid and go to 4.4.2...

Thx in advance!
[Nexus 5 General] Jayrod1980:
I have no reason to flub what I posted. I do have the screen set to 15% which I've found to be lower than auto the majority of the time indoors. The screen is too bright at the values google sets stock. Some have even claimed this panel to be capable of 600 nits. It seems as bright as the nexus 7 panel to me... And they are built by the same company... Jdi.

My report of battery life was to highlight how improved it is on 4.2.2. I leave everything on. I have high accuracy data set as the default and am in a decent service area on T-Mobile LTE. As an aside, my buddy uses at&t and gets over an hour less sot than I do. Why that is I don't know, but we have similar apps running etc. He's actually on WiFi most of the time.
[Nexus 5 General] jbdan:
I just got 4.4.2 this afternoon. No issues as many are reporting. Is faster than 4.4 hard to believe. Great improvement in the camera. No change in cell dbm at all. T-Mobile. Gallery good. Video good. Speaker is louder. Everything is faster and better. Great job Google

[Nexus 5 General] paddylaz:
screen colours/contrast?
[Nexus 5 General] X_N_:
I can confirm with the weaker vibration on 4.4.2 as well. Really dislike it, so weak you almost won't even know you got a new notification. Was perfect in 4.4.1 but Google decided to change it for some reason.
[Nexus 5 General] jbdan:
The contrast is better. The colors have always been and still are stunningly accurate. The vibration is better/livelier on 4.4.2 vs 4.4. Literally everything is great love the update. Stock not rooted on t-mobile
[Nexus 5 General] Whistler_QD:
I confirm the Gallery bug. It takes longer to open a photo and the screen flickers while opening it. It's pretty annoying.

It surprises me that some people can't see it.
[Nexus 5 General] jj14:
It doesn't matter. The end result is the same. You can save a step and just go directly to 4.4.2 (that's what I'd have done if I were still on 4.4)

I went 4.4 to 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 (I don't have the dark camcorder issue). The dark camcorder screen issue seems to be random (not based on how they got to 4.4.2)
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
What happens when you pull up the camcorder in a dimly lit environment? Maybe you could post a screenshot.
[Nexus 5 General] jj14:
Happy to - but define "dimly lit" :)

Here's what I am basing my response on. In a relatively dark room (again, hard to define), I switch on the camera. See how bright it is. Then, switch to camcorder. See how bright it is. Compare.

Yes, there is a slight drop in brightness (from my experience with other phones like the Galaxy S4, that is normal) - but nowhere enough to make the output video noticeably bad.
[Nexus 5 General] jj14:
WHOA! that's terrible... I can see why people are ticked!

Out of curiosity, was it this bad when you were on 4.4? (in case you checked)
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
No, it's worse on 4.4.2 than it even was on 4.4.1. Here's an example in my house shot in really low light. There are 2 takeaways from this:

1) The carpet in my basement is godawful, and

2) This is a problem.

I don't understand how different people running the same software on the same hardware could be seeing such different results.
[Nexus 5 General] roadster92:
Dark Camera

My experiences with the Update:

1. Sound = Louder

2. Vibration = Stronger

3. Normal Camera (Normal Lighting & Low Lighting)= Faster Focus, slightly decrease in image quality ( They need to get the exposure right..It is still not right).

4. Video Recording & Para & Sphere (Normal Lighting): It's OK

5. Video Recording & Para & Sphere (Low Lighting): Has not been fixed, everything is extreme under exposure, this make it very dark and unusable.

Camera is no where close to the S4 even though it got OIS which should help. Google need to fix the amount of light the sensor detect.

This is my first Nexus devices... and it turns out my Google Experience is a bad one :)

No Biggie, it will be a while for them to sort this out.

Here are two images from mine. I made it as dark as I could - yes, the camcorder image is worse, but not by much (when compared to the camera image).

Yeah, that's not a huge difference. You're running 4.4.2, right?

Long story short...

Bootloader unlocked, rooted HTC One, Installed GE rom.

Now, selling phone. Did a wipe and reset. All my .zip rom files gone...and NO OS!

I am able to get to fastboot AND twrp no problem, but my computer won't recognize device so I can bring in my .zip roms to re-flash.

Again, phone says I have no OS. How do I get my phone to show up on computer to re-flash my OS?? I want to re-install the GE rom so I can ship the phone off to the buyer.

Anyone?? I'm simply stuck within the boodloader or twrp recovery. I can't go anywhere else. I have NO img rom on the device. I can't get S-OFF. How the heck to I get a rom back on the phone??? Stock, custom...I don't care at this point. Comp won't bring it up as storage device.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chileno4Live:
Question is in the title. I am wondering if I should return or not, since I shove some papers in the gap between the power and volume buttons and they might see that when they open up the phone.

Also, the haze is right under the navigation bar, which makes it almost invisible. The only time I see it is when I am on Immersive Mode on Cataclysm ROM and the background is white.

I am not referring to the yellow tint issue, because the whites are all good, except for the bottom part.

Do you guys also have this problem and do you know what it is and how to fix it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benvaj:
I do have the exact same problem, and thinking of returning but the gsm where i bought the phone has a really bad reputation warranty wise. Some people get back their phones 2 months later and the guys in the gsm are all bald fat money-laundering assholes.

I too use immersive mode regularly and its really not nice on the otherwise awesome display :(

Pictures, please?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn1217:
Yes I have this also. Just noticed it while using the Google Play books app. Without immersive mode it probably wouldn't be noticeable. I am probably just going to live with it at this point unless most people can confirm that their phones to NOT exhibit this behavior.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billups55:
Yes I also have a yellow glow at the bottom of my phone. I did an RMA and the replacement had the same glow. I wonder if its glue or if these displays are just not on par. Makes the screen look like its discolored on the bottom end. It is very noticeable in chrome on the address bar in landscape mode.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flying_goose:
Exact same issue with me. Got my phone late April and starting noticing it a couple of weeks ago. I got it through T-Mobile in the US, and I'll stop by a store later this afternoon to figure out how to handle it (not sure if they will replace, RMA, or what).

Hello everyone. I just got a Samsung Galaxy S4 on the AT&T network. I want to root it to open up the capabilities and such. I have tried rooting this phone via the motochopper method and the "format micro sd card exFAT/unzip/run command cd /mnt/extSdCard..etc) when i get to the ./pwn I get permission denied. I have tried searching and come up with nothing. I am running Android 4.3 build. SGH-I1337 MK2 platform. I am ready to pull my hair out. I spent all day yesterday trying to resolve this. Please help.

PS: If I missed something I apologize I did try to search.

the only root method is vroot and that is suppose to be pretty questionable as far as security goes.

And if you are okay with that there is still no custom recovery for mk2 so you will not be able to flash custom rome onto it yet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] suprahp95:
I was able to root my AT&T S4 running MK2 with KingoRoot 1.1.5. It's a very simple 1-click root tool.

Thanks alot for the information guys. My question is I hear about this VROOT and KingoRoot why are there security risks with these? I will be more than happy to use them but whats the risks involved? Also once rooted with KingoRoot or VROOT I cant do custom roms and such?

Thanks,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] azuziel:
Use kingo, it uses vroot method without the virus/trojan and ripping off your emei

I should add i confirmed with them that vroots malicious code was removed from kingo root latest release. Google it for download. I used it, knox safe root even for my i377m

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] azuziel:
I dont believe you can run custom recovery, might soft brick. Mk2 is locked i believe, maybe safestrap. Again tho double check. If cant run custom, install xposed framework, can do all rom customization on stock, only does it in memory, without changing apks or system and what not, cool stuff. Anyway install busybox installer from play store. Then xposed is apk you can find with Google, once xposed running, download the modules u want from within xposed and play around. All mods can be turned off in xposed if it causes problems.

I have tried Vroot 1.1.5 about a dozen times and always fails. I have debugging checked and drivers are OK. I can connect adb with no problem. At times adb and root will say device offline. I also got the connect message on my sgh-I337 Att Mk2 and checked always, then OK. Any info or suggestions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
Try kingo root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ALD3:
First I made a mistake as it was Kingo root ver 1.1.5. I never got any superuser or supersu message on my i337, I did see the notice on Kingo to allow supersu when it came up. Kingo goes thru connecting, downloading, sending script to device, waiting on device and sometimes I see device offline, then Kingo will connect and do it's thing. At the end alli get is root failed. I will do it again in a couple hours and try to get better information. One question I do have is what state is the I337 to be in booted up and lock screen unlocked, recovery or fast boot? I have only tried in booted up and lock screen unlocked. Oh I have tried root also but it failed also. On Knox, some thread it was mentioned to have Knox disabled to run Kingo. I ask there but was reminded that I wasn't on a Kingo thread... even tho some 8 others had ask questions or input on Kingo. So found this thread. Thanks for any advice.

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

UPDATE!!!! Do ask me why but after 2 more fails with Kingo, I started a program that I had to use with Hisense Sero pro tablet to root it called Snappea. It doesn't root but needed to be connected to the Sero while rooting. So I brought it up and let I connect to my ATT SG4 I337 and the ran Kingo1.1.5. Kingo ran thru the steps fast, installed supersu, rebooted i337 and checked it, rebooted again and was done. Rooted. Thanks for your help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Kit_Kat:

So now that you are rooted there are still not recovery or custom roms for this particular phone right? One of the main reasons I would be rooting is for the custom roms.

Create a backup of apps (user apps only ) using Titanium backup , re-flash your Rom, then restore....
