Google also recommends to not to root and install custom firmware and here we are at xda...

We are geeks here .. Advanced users. I found those steps useful so shared here .. For those who can't wait for the OTA to arrive when it supposed to be ..

wiping data of google framework is not going to brick our device .....

It's lot more safer than what we do here at xda ... Like reformatting nand flash , repartitioning etc etc ...

So be cool ..

As I said, I'm not debating it or telling people what to do. I'm not saying you are wrong. I'm not saying you shouldn't post that. I just think people should have as much information as possible. I would tell anyone wanting to root or flash their device the same thing - learn as much as possible so you understand the risks and benefits so you can make an informed decision. I'm sorry if you didn't see my post in an informative way.

Thanks but have already tried unpairing & deleting to no avail. Will try with my updated HTC One GPe and see if that's the same, failing that will try reverting back to 4.4.2 and see if that works again.

[Nexus 5 General] onesolo:
I'm also facing the same problem, but I don't think that you lost LTE... something is wrong with the new radio...

Did you try to force only LTE mode??

If I'm on LTE/WCDMA/GSM mode (the 4G preferred mode), 95% of the times where I could get 4G, I only get 3G/3G+. Only a small percentage I see it switch to LTE and normally is right after I enable data and almost a few seconds after it switchs back to 3G/3G+.

If I connect to LTE only, I can get 4G, the problem is that my carrier doesn't have LTE over voice.

I also did apply the OTA file, but sideloading...

Maybe if I try sideloading again, it will do it... also going try the previous radio from 4.4.2.

Lockscreen on time too long since 4.4.3?

Hi, is anyone having issues with their lock screen on time? In 4.4.2 my lockscreen on time was independent of my screen on time setting, which was 30 seconds no matter what. In 4.4.3, they seem to be the same thing now. I keep my screen on time at 1 minute, and now the lockscreen stays on for 1 minute as well. I've also tried switching sleep to 30 seconds resulting in 30 second lock screen on time. 2 minutes to 2 minutes screen on time. You get it. Anyone else having this problem? Does anyone have a fix? Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] Static-xy:
My phone is locked and not rooted. I had problem with battery drain, so I did factory reset and for 1st day I noticed it is little bit better. But not as good as it was on 4.4.2. I'm hoping after a couple of days it will set itself and go back to being at least as good as it was.

Looks like my keeps staying awake more than what I would want it to be, and thats whats causing drainage.

[Nexus 5 General] Pandages:
Has anyone been able to confirm that the BOOT.IMG includes updated kernel code? The version is 3.4.0 in both cases, but the build date changes. I'd assume some patches were applied.

To get to 4.4.3, here's what I ran:

fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash radio radio-hammerhead-m8974a-2.0.50.1.13.img
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.1-hammerhead.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot bootloader

Then I let it boot into the OS, then:

adb reboot recovery

From there, I installed UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip, then wiped the cache again.
[Nexus 5 General] RichCowell:

If you really have done nothing but unlock and root then you shouldn't have to do anything to update. You will, however, need to re-root after updating. For more info and help about updating, see this thread.

[Nexus 5 General] blinde:
I really wonder what the hell are they thinking in google when they develope this dialer app. The previous one was also quite horrible and now it's even worse. Why does it add every contact to favorites when you make a phone call to. It's annoying as hell and it makes favorites completely useless since everyone who you call will be favorite. Atleast there should be option to toggle it off. And why did they remove the option to swipe them away?
[Nexus 5 General] RichCowell:
Not looked, but aren't there any decent 3rd party diallers?

You're high, the dialer is pure awesome if only for the local business search feature. You can manually set favorites from contacts, and the only others that show up are recent calls to actual contacts

I just bought my Nexus 5 two weeks ago. I decided to wait to root it until I got the update which i downloaded at work at around 3 PM EST. So far, the phone is still stock on 4.4.3 and now that I'm home from work, it's time to root.

I love this phone btw.

[Nexus 5 General] phazerorg:
I'm not sure there's a way to check other than trying to apply the update... but honestly since you've already unlocked the bootloader you could just flash the 4.4.3 factory image (it's possible to do it without wiping data - you can find out how by searching or just remove the -w from the flash-all.bat script) and be done. Flashing a factory image will certainly remove any modifications you've made to the system, and if you're willing to do that you might as well just flash the 4.4.3 factory image instead of 4.4.2 and then updating. Since flashing a factory image overwrites the system, it doesn't matter what modifications you may have made.

I guess if you don't want to do that you could try just sideloading the update (see scenario 1 in the OTA helpdesk thread I linked earlier - it would apply even though you've unlocked and rooted).

You could also flash (or just boot without installing) a custom recovery and try installing the update with that (if you've previously received the update notification, the update zip should be found in /cache which you can find and flash with a custom recovery such as TWRP - scenario 2 in the OTA helpdesk thread). Either of these methods will fail if your system is not in order. Again, just flashing the factory image would completely solve the problem.

I had system modifications as well (xposed/gravitybox), and I just flashed the factory image, re-rooted, re-installed xposed, and was good to go. Whole thing took only about 10 minutes.

[Nexus 5 General] testinguser:
Anyone without root, how did you change your band (25/26/41) now that the nexus field eng app doesn't work without root?

EDIT: Based on this sprint change log here, the new update enables band 26 and 41. So no need to do it manually. The question is anyone getting a new "sun" or sun burst icon?

Edit 2: Well well, I got band 26. So the update does what it says. I verified using *#*#DEBUG#*#*. Interestingly in this old house where I can't even get wifi signal to go from one room to another, inside the house I can get 7-8 mbps compared to 1-2 mbps on band 25 previously. I imagine band 41 is where the money is wrt getting the 50+mbps speed they advertise. BTW no "sun" icon even though DEBUG says I am on band 26.

Edit 3: A helpful user pointed out that our nexus phone w/o the sprint bloatware won't be burdened by the sun icon.

[Nexus 5 General] ritchea:
That stinks, for sure. I'd read here that an XDA member posted the same.

You might want to go here to voice your issue. Google does monitor the threads (can't say how often). It seemed from the article I referenced yesterday that Google thought they had it nailed---unlike the poor signal reception some of us are experiencing. At least we've heard from Google that the signal issue wasn't addressed in the update.

None of this helps solve your problem. Have you gotten desperate enough to try a factory reset? Be sure to back up everything you don't want to lose, first.

4.4.3 OTA automatic background downloading on LTE.

Guys,

I need help to disable OTA update I am getting on my Custom ROM. I dont know why my phone even got OTA from google. It tries to download the 98mb update in background and then the verification fails. It again downloads itself. Its in a loop since yesterday. This will hit my Data caps. Can anyone help me how to block this. I dont want to update as I would do it on the new custom rom updates.

I have checked under settings->About phone. No option which says that check for updates. I am on Cataclysm 4.4.2.

Any app which would disable it as its draining my battery as well as data.

As some have mentioned, clearing the cache on Google play services and Google framework actually works. I recommend putting it on airplane mode first then clearing then rebooting.

Why would you want to re-zip it? The stock images can't -- I'll repeat, CAN NOT -- be installed with TWRP. You need to install them in fastboot. You can use this guide and just replace the files in the guide with the files from the 4.4.3 image you downloaded.

That's meant for OTA zips, not factory images. These are not meant to be flashed in recovery.

If you're not comfortable with using fastboot, wait for someone to make a flashable .zip , it'll show up surely in a bit in the developnent section
[Nexus 5 General] Beamer9408:
You will unzip the file with 7 zip then it should have all the .img files you need in it. Fastboot flash all the .img files. Not knowing how or what operating system you're using I'm guessing windows since you're using 7 zip you may need to put the .img files in the same folder that fastboot is in.
