Why didnt anyone warn me all those years ago?!
[Nexus 5 General] EddyOS:
It'll pass, I've gone the other way and gone back to 100% stock (locked bootloaded and all!) as I got bored of flashing new stuff every (other) day. Android is at a point now where stock does everything I need it to
[Nexus 5 General] Dx9:
I'll agree with that. I got hooked flashing all the time starting with cm9 on my devices. Flashing every single night etc. Did this for years. Only thing I have done is flashed Franco kernel on my N5 and have Gravity Box installed. Couldn't be happier.
[Nexus 5 General] WarRaven:
I am in same boat too, just flashing kernels these days.

I have to have, Elemental for my usage, followed development before I had my N5. (Using since HOXL)

The rest, I may try, but usually go back to stock other then kernel.

Hence my desire for nexus, no skins to remove, just a tweak or two.

I'm going to have to agree with you. A couple years ago, I was flashing constantly (multiple roms a day if I was feeling really crazy). Now, I just don't feel the need. Stock Android is rock-solid at this point and I don't feel like roms offer any meaningful improvement anymore. It was a whole different ballgame back in the CM7 days.
[Nexus 5 General] Cirkustanz:
While I'm completely stock on the N5, and probably will be for a while...one of the inherent joys of having wizbang custom roms is that often times when other people pick up your phone, they seriously have no idea how to use it.

It's nerdy to think this is fun of course, but dammit...it is fun.
[Nexus 5 General] ibramadhan:
Flashing Rom is the only way imo.

however stock N5 is near perfect
[Nexus 5 General] LeoRex:
Heh... it's addicting.

Much as I liked the stock stuff, I got used to the fancy stuff that I had running paranoid android 3.99 on my s3... so now I've been ROM jumping kk nightlies trying to find the best approximation. Beanstalk is where I've settled while I wait for PA to start putting out feature nightlies in the hammerhead stream.
[Nexus 5 General] Woody:
I'd say that the feeling that you got when you flashed your first ROM is nothing compared to the feeling of getting out of your first bootloop or bad flash or your first buildbot actually booting. Knowing how to get out of those situations bring a sense of pride that you can only get from knowing what you are doing at a base level.

I'm talking about people on forums and not your mom or friend now, but so many people don't know the very basics of how these things work. More to the point they don't know of the potential they have (both good and bad). That all comes with time and exposure though. I still remember my first terminal script for apps2sd on Éclair.

It really doesn't matter what ROM or Kernel I am running because by the time I get done breaking it down and rebuilding it, it very rarely looks like the original version. Actually troubleshooting something and fixing it correctly, then that fix gets implemented into someone else's problem and you can talk them back from the edge of panic. That is the buzz for me.

I love my N5 on stock rom, but who knows when paranoid comes with all his features ill be tempted

I used to flash roms pretty often on my Desire HD but since I've gotten my Nexus 5 I haven't flashed a rom yet. I am however, unlocked, rooted, and using a custom recovery. I'm a cm fan so once they release a stable build with all the features I want I'm sure I'll flash cm11
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highonstock:
Hello intelligent people at xda

ok, so here's my problem: (see attached images)

the notification drawer on my nexus 5 is acting strangely. Its not displaying the notification (widget) as it should for any notification widget that has play, pause, stop etc. such as Play Music, Tunein, and Viral. The widget also fails to update. (If I change the track, it fails to update the name.) The controls WORK i.e. i can still pause, skip track etc. however, there is obviously some glitch/bug with this.

All other notifications that don't require "active" controls, such as gmail, hangouts etc. working normally...even if i expand it.

This problem came totally out of the blue! The only "tinkering" that ive done with my phone today is that i removed xposed framework COMPLETELY (flashed the included disabler.zip) because i missed ART (dalvic feels sluggish). After i switched to ART, i noticed this issue. So then I switch back to davic to see if it persists - and unfortunately, it does.

Plz help me (a noob). Any suggestions to what i can do to fix it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaj473:
just flash the ROM again
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highonstock:
im already running 4.4.2 stock rom. will i lose my personal data, if i flash it ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaj473:
yes if you directly flash..

no if you use titanium backup to backup your apps

and apps like super backup for messages,contacts and call logs...

your internal storage data like movies,pictures will not be wiped...

all your apps will be lost but you can backup and restore them via titanum backup...

read the Rom thread carefully before flashing if you are new to flashing roms..

please dont skip any step in rom thread

HI guys! I badly need your help. I recently installed Gimlo Rom and it works fine w/th my tipo dual.

Here are some of the bugs I noticed.

1. In sending SMS if you'll exceed to 160 characters you'll not be able to send them. It will tell you that you have insufficient prepaid load. But if you will cut it down below 160 characters sending SMS is smooth.

2. Most Importantly, Notification Led Light isn't working. If you do have a link for a fix for this, please reply w/ a link.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Nemesis158:
Hey there XDA, ive been having an issue with my GSII T989 that i hope you can help me with.

I originally got the phone off ebay used as a replacement for my T499 that had a broken loudspeaker (couldnt hear calls or use alarm)

It came with the stock TMO version of 4.1.2. Im on the monthly 4G plan with TMO and my old phone didnt have any way to stop tethering so i was able to use it freely. I still do not feel it necessary that i should have to give TMO an extra $15 per month to use this feature, so naturally i avoided it as much as possible. in 4.1.2 the "tethering provision" app was disable-able, so i Initially planned to keep that on the phone, however the phone kept getting the update to the newest software pushed to it and i couldnt get the notification to go away. rather than upgrade to another rom that would inhibit tethering, i decided to put a custom rom on it.

After looking over a few, i decided to go with AOKP. at this point the phone was fully functional. I was able to copy all the related files to the phone over USB. I initially loaded the CWRM 4.0.4.3 and that went smoothly

of course when i attempted to load AOKP i hit a roadblock as i had not updated the Radio. i got the radio and copied the file over to the phone while it was in recovery mode, and then loaded the rom up. everything seemed to be great, until a few days later.

I tried plugging my phone into my PC to copy a photograph off of it to post online, and it wouldn't work. Initially i figured it might have been a problem with the cable i was using. Since it was used, the phone came with an off-brand cable. I tried my OE cable for my T499, still nothing.

eventually i went and enabled "USB debugging mode" in developer options, and then it worked! I thought that seemed really weird, but at least i could still get into it.

that was a few weeks ago. Now i have been thinking about trying another rom, and now i cannot get the USB media mode to work on my phone at all, on any of my PCs, whether in normal, USB Debug, or in recovery mode. I even tried converting to the touch version of CWRM to see if something was wrong with that, and it still wont connect. The PC detects the phone but it refuses to show the storage. when i Enable USB debugging mode, it connects and shows the media device, but promptly disconnects again a few seconds later for no apparent reason. It even did this with Kies running. Everything else on the phone works as it should and it has no trouble charging from a wall jack or from the usb cable.

If you guys could help that would be great

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Luminess:
I hope you've meant 6.0.4.3 CWM instead of 4.0.4.3. That's old-old-old-old-old, and 99% likely to not work with today's ROMs and etc. What I would do is try to setup ADB on your computer and use that to push/pull files from your phone for in cases like this where the phone or computer doesn't like MTP. I highly recommend using this guide to setup ADB if you're going that route.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZhenMing:
Hi there,

Anyone experience that after overnight charging, the battery will drop to 99% instantly just after unplug from charging brick?

I also notice that after its fully charged, turn off the phone and let it charged for another 30 mins or so, once turn it ON and the 100% will stay for 5-10 mins before the 1st drop.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwanbis:
Never happened.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaj473:
that instant drop is to protect the battery...

its normal...

and for longer battery life dont charge it upto 100%...

charge it somewhere around 85 and use it upto 20%...

85-20 is the best charging ratio..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
What? It's not normal. Charging to 100% is fine. It shouldn't instantly drop down.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaj473:
Due to it being a lithium polymer battery it is best to only actually charge it to around 85%, as when it hits 100% a part of the battery does actually die.. The same idea goes with running it to 20%, that's as low as you should run it, its not like the old batteries where you have to run it in, that's actually bad for the new batteries that operate most of today's devices.. But with that being said, the amount of the battery that dies with charging it to 100% or letting it run to 5% is so miniscule that you'd only notice a difference after around 600 cycles, so around 2 years.. Even then it would be close to a battery ran to perfection.. The difference between 2 would only be around 10%

I've been messing around all day, flashing different ROMs, kernels, radios, recoveries... Just everything I can think of.

I've attached the output of dmesg from boot. With that and the logcat, is it possible to determine if this is a software issue, or a hardware issue. Because if it's a hardware issue, I can stop fussing over this thing.
[HTC Droid DNA] thayl0:

According to his posts, it happens on any rom, so it's not rom specific.

Sounds like hardware failure.

Would it be possible to replace this myself?

Try putting the device back to stock config. At that point it may take several factory resets to trip the wi fi

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TristanR:
Hey all. So I put my phone back to stock, followed all the guides to the ".". I then took the OTA update to 4.3, and now I believe I have the sudden death brick. When i attempt to power on my phone, it just keeps vibrating, and won't actually start. I was wondering if there are any fixes to this or am I SoL? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I can get it into Download mode for all of 2 seconds, and then it appears the phone shuts off.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TristanR:
That unfortunately didn't work. Does the same thing as it did before hand. I did notice that I can get it into download mode for a second or two. Does that help me at all?

By the way, it says recovery booting when it turns on following that guide.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Try to repeat the process, rewrite the image to your sdcard, then try again (usually obtain results after 3-4 trials). Make sure you pull the battery, then insert the sdcard....like the instruction said!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TristanR:
Ah, it said it wrote successfully the first time so I left it at that. I'll definitely try rewriting it several more times. Thanks for the clarification. I'll update once I have the time to try it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TristanR:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
I feel like I have asked this a lot lately, if you remove your battery and put it back in does it turn on without you touching the power button?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TristanR:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
What he's saying possible your button stuck in a closed position!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TristanR:
Is that a fixable thing? Or should I give up and send it to someone to fix
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
This sound crazy but works for many with power button issue:

"Today my phone kept turning off for no reason. Instead of hitting it on the table, this time i hit it against my washer on the rounded corner so i can precisely hit the power button. I had to do it like 10 times but its back up and running. I think its better to do it this way as the washer is plastic. Just a precaution so you don't break your phone"

Also ThePagel had suggested to some folks on this forum and they said it works!

Give it a try, if not working, maybe you need to hit it a little bit harder..without breaking your phone..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
Give it a shot! When it happened to me I put a crappy thumb drive under my mouse pad and made sure only the button area got the impact. Be careful doing this. To light and it won't work, to hard and you might crack your screen. You might need to hit it a few times at "just the right speed" before the power button gets unstuck. Make sure you take your battery out as a safety precaution.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TristanR:
So, it just randomly turned it self back on, and I am thinking this may be an issue with software more than anything, because I also noticed on one point in the screen, without me even touching the phone, you will see the blip of something touching it. I am wondering if maybe I didn't properly flash stock back on or something. I also noticed the bootloader software is running on rev 1 and not 3. Is there a way to use Kies or something to just erase all the contents on the phone and reinstall it like new without having to throw it in download mode? I am rather concerned now about turning it off now that it may actually be at a point where I can fix it.

Maybe this is actually just a hardware error. I am really unsure. Either way, ever since I recieved the OTA 4.3, the splash screen says "Custom". At the very least does anyone have any idea how to get rid of that so I can just call up samsung since it's a shade under a year and if it is hardware I can just get a new phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
The fact that it powered up when you put the battery in tells me its more hardware than software. The only way to reflash 4.3 from here is Odin or Verizon utility. kies might be pushing 4.3 by now (wasn't last time I checked) but anyway you pick it will do a full erase. Even if you could redo the ota it could still hard brick your phone if it restarts in the middle of installing. Are you sure you have the ota and not one of the 4 or 5 4.3 stock roms?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TristanR:
actually had the battery in for a while. Kies does do 4.3 now. (Kies 3). I don't mind if i do a full erase, I have everything backed up in several locations already. I honestly just want to get this working, or something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
* any way you pick will require you to go into download mode including kies.

---------- Post added at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

Kies 3 shouldn't be compatible with our phones. Besides Odin and even the Verizon utility runs much better than kies. it is a system hog with the chance of crashing in the middle of the install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TristanR:
Alright. Guess I'll do my best to get it into odin mode. Thanks for the help everyone. Hope I can eventually get this up and running again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
Be careful and if you do move ahead without wacking your phone I wish you luck. I do strongly suggest if you do not like Odin you should use the Verizon utility instead of kies. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2586319
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TristanR:
It got stuck in the loop again. And wacking the phone didn't really do anything. Luckily this phone was on a dealer line and the contract is up at the end of the month. I may just go ahead and cancel that and get use to using an iPhone again. If I send in the phone to Samsung with the System Status as "Custom" will they do anything or just send it right back to me? If I can get a free repair out of this i might as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ThePagel:
Some people say it doesn't matter. If your worried about getting in trouble don't worst thing they can say is no and send it back.

Hello, I use Rootbox 4.2 with Dorimanx 9.43 (october). After a reboot i had a crazy issue i never had before : first the rom didn't boot, i was stuck on kernel logo. Since wiping caches didn't help, first thing to do is to backup, so i did and it ended (successfully) but in only 30sec..!

So i plugged USB and checked the backup folder and saw there was barely any data there..! So i thought it's wiped.. I tried reinstalling the rom (which means stock kernel instead dorimanx) without wiping, still no boot but trying backup again, it's doing the backup fully!!

However since space was missing, it failed.. So i had to reinstall Dorimanx, mount USB, make space, reinstall rom, reboot recovery and do back up again (currently on process). I'm wondering if there's an issue with the internal memory, if so i shoud delete all and send back.I would NEVER send back an Android for warranty if my data wasn't wiped before, your life's inside of it!
