Wow its so crazy how much better the battery life is on the first release of L then the second release.
[Nexus 5 General] radioxmen:
no I did not ignore the suggestion, but I make it clear that the problem is only with the android L and not with kitkat

And android L and kitkat are identical and have no changes to the systems?

Just on the easter egg business..... These are all present in KitKat.
[Nexus 5 General] qpop:
In the first day or two of both the original L version and the updated version I had significant battery drain, mostly due to "miscellaneous" battery usage.

This seems to go after the second day, and the battery life is comparable from then on.

[Nexus 5 General] r3ferrei:
I'm having the same problem with the latest play music (5.6.1617). I'm on the built-in version until the problem goes away. I have not been able to find a solution.

It states that I need to be connected to the internet to play. When getting off WiFi and onto mobile data, everything is fine.

Tried clearing data multiple times and even doing another flash-all. Nothing gets it working.

All other apps work fine through WiFi. Only play music is a problem.

Hello!

does Android L support Bluetooth Profile AVRCP 1.4?

[Nexus 5 General] pgptheoriginal:
Is the "do not disturb" feature fully working for everyone? In my case, it can't block notifications coming from Whatsapp, and therefore it's useless, since Whatsapp messages are the most common notification sound coming from my phone.

Do the devs need to implement new APIs for this feature to be compatible with their apps?

Someone posted a potential solution only a page or two ago!

Try unchecking the "stream only on Wi-Fi" (or whatever it is) and see if that works? Apparently a bug in latest release where this setting seems to be reversed in functionality...

Nothing except Fit.

Thanks. Tried multiple variants of the check boxes and it still shows no connection. This particular one included.

I'll wait until they fix it since its a play music problem.
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
Which L are you using? Dev preview or Fit?
[Nexus 5 General] chaosdefinesorder:
hmm interestingly it worked for me just now. Usually use 4G for Play Music (yay unlimited data tariff!) but definitely not downloaded track streamed fine on Wi-Fi first time just now!

edit: using first release of preview

Quite possibly... I'd suggest going back to dev preview and test, unless you need fit...

how to wipe clean nexus 5 file system like we do in windows pc that formats everything on hdd.

[Nexus 5 General] chaosdefinesorder:
If you follow the install procedure that Google explicitly outlines (using the Flash-all script without any modifications at all) it does this bit for you as part of the flash.

ANY modifications to the flash process (removing the -w, flashing the IMG files individually, flashing a ZIP in custom recovery) etc. will not do this...
[Nexus 5 General] blinde:
I've been out of this L topic over a month now so what is this fit version? How does it differ from dev version?

Apparently dev version hasn't changed since it was released.
[Nexus 5 General] sidnoit22:
There is no fit version, The new one included Google Fit files so we are calling it Fit build but its real name is Developer Preview with different build number. The new build only include Google Fit and that option is for dev only so no one gets hurt if you update or not it doesn't matter.
[Nexus 5 General] jordanyork:
Very, very true. I thought I was losing my mind or something. I saw about a 15% drop in total battery duration on a single charge, even with less screen on time and less app usage. Bummer.

Is there a way to get the Data Toggle working like wifi toggle ? or at least is there a widget that can do that on Android L ?

[Nexus 5 General] maluus:
I redone flash-all both 79 and 81c builds but result is still the same. Although not seem to be possible, I redownloaded 79 build to eliminate possible bad download problem and flashed again. one other thing is to test it in english instead of spanish to see if its related.

Update: As I suspedted the problem is related with phone language. While it is english all is normal but when it is switched to spanish the "7" in dialpad turns to "s"

Well after running L since release it looks as if it is time to return to 4.4. The battery life and bugs have become too much to handle in my heavy, everyday use.

I love the direction Google is going and cannot wait to run the full release come later this year.
[Nexus 5 General] Virus.Shell:
USB OTG + USB Ethernet Works

Has anybody else tried using a USB to Ethernet adapter + OTG cable with the L Preview? Because I just did out of curiosity and was surprised to see that I was able to connect without a need for root or anything else.

Can anyone else confirm that I'm not crazy and it does indeed work?
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
Why wouldn't it work? Keyboards and mice work fine just being plugged in...

Only reason media and storage need root is because they need helper apps to mount the storage device... The device is recognized and works fine, you just can't access the data it until the partition is mounted.
[Nexus 5 General] Virus.Shell:
Well, what I meant is that I could actually access the internet with it. I rolled back down to 4.4.4 to confirm what others have also seen, connecting the adapter and turning off WiFi (and even restarting the device with the adapter plugged in) doesn't allow for a connection to the internet.
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
Google probably added the necessary drivers to android for it to work then...

But root isn't needed to use devices via otg, but may be required for extra software to make them work properly in some cases.. :P in your case on 4.4.4, it would be installing and loading the requisite drivers for the adapter.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Yes, it's a massive fail they they've released an incomplete preview that doesn't contain the feature you want.
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
But but, it's a release for my phone, therefore I demand they a have all the features I want...
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
To be honest, Google shouldn't have even released a developer preview. You can probably bet that 99% of people using it are no sort of developer and just want it because its "new and cool", then constantly complain when things are broken. I find that extremely silly. People just use it as if it's a consumer release.
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
No, given how many underlying changes there seemed to be, (given by the number apps that needed tweaks to run properly) it's a good thing that they made a developer release...

Blame shops like Android Police for spreading the word for the fact that non-developers and the mass sheeple army have installed L and complain about breaks in forums like this one where it does no good whatsoever.. (they really should be posting bug reports to the google bug trackers about them, and then only if they used flash-all scripts to install)
[Nexus 5 General] 0.0:
I don't think you can even blame the news outlets, since even most of them stated this is not final software. You need to blame people. Clearly, there are those here that can distinguish between a developer preview (alpha/beta) and those who do not think and just complain about bugs on something isn't even close to final. Now if this was final, then the complaining is justified to some extent. I advise people to go back to KitKat if you want most things to work as expected
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
Oh, I know, but most of the masses never would have learned about L if not for shops like ap..

But people are always the common denominator in situations like these...
[Nexus 5 General] ajbiz11:
Isn't it a good thing were getting bug reports?

Before the preview was released, everyone was saying they should fallow Apple and release a beta to make it so we don't have another 4.4 (MAJOR BT issues...not fixed for months, either)

[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
I don't submit bugs I haven't been able to replicate, and I haven't always been able to replicate their issues... (frequently because they're just holding their phone wrong...)

But you're welcome to submit their bugs.. :p although, I personally feel that if they aren't capable of submitting bugs to the proper locations they shouldn't be using alpha/beta quality software...

But then, I'm getting a bit of a Rep for being an jerk wrt people thinking for themselves.. ;)
[Nexus 5 General] ajbiz11:
Well, if we find the bugs and inconveniences for the lowest common denominator, then we can do the same thing iOS has been doing for years: fixing them before launch to ALL devices

Sent from my m7spr
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
The truth is, people don't want a developer preview to submit bug reports. They want one because it's "cool and new". Out of all these people who have blindly flashed and complained about things breaking, do you think they're actually submitting bug reports? Probably not. They don't care. They just want to have it on their device.

Having said that, it was meant for app developers to get their stuff working somewhat before official release. Not for random people to use to give it a test run and complain.
[Nexus 5 General] ajbiz11:
So are the iOS betas

But Apple knows the semi-tech savvy consumers are going to run it

And they collect crash reports from a LOT of devices

And that not only helps Apple, but all the big apps too

I understand what the preview is for

I also know that the *****ing and moaning is for a good cause

Sent from my m7spr
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Read a couple pages of this thread and you can tell the type of people who flash it on their device.

Google doesn't necessarily need bug reports anyways. The developer preview wasn't meant to be complete, and Google would obviously have AOSP completely fixed for it's official release.
[Nexus 5 General] gaurav2009:
If someone report bugs here maybe someone else having same problem can help each other or maybe someone got some workaround for that problem..so i think its good to post here as it is a discussion only...although one should search before posting :)
[Nexus 5 General] ajbiz11:
Agreed

And if a solution is found on the user end, then Google can fix it easier on the code end (trust me on that one...if you can find what's causing the issue, or how to fix it, then you can isolate the cause and effect)

I think this will make L better than the KK release because we have at least hammered on it to help Google find issues they may not be aware of. The numbered lock screen bug where it would relock after you put the pin in was bad.
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
It has to do with what an hdr picture is...

It's an Interpolation of multiple (usually at least 3, depending on contrast levels) pictures to allow detail at both extremes of the exposure scale...

At minimum one picture underexposed, to allow for detail in highlight areas, one "properly" exposed for Vaseline, and one overexposed to show shadow detail...

Then perform various maths for each pixel for all required photographs to determine what level of blending to use...

So, you have the initial delay of needing to take multiple pictures to start, as multiple exposure levels are needed... Then the delay of trying to convert this multiple shots into a single picture...

So of course it's going to be slow, take time, and chew up your battery, ramp up your cpu freq, and otherwise make a nuisance of itself while the hdr picture is rendered...
[Nexus 5 General] pgptheoriginal:
I noticed this, too. HDR shots are much slower than on Kitkat, but I think we'll have to wait for the official release in order to have this fixed. That's not a big deal, since the photo itself is fine ;)

[Nexus 5 General] kevinkoh:
I Do agree, I observe a much more noticeable delay when taking HDR shots on android L as compare to 4.4.2
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
HDR isn't the same as HDR+ though. What Google calls HDR+ is a closed source method for colour correction, scene recognition, etc. Its different to HDR.
[Nexus 5 General] thesebastian:
Almost everything is slower than 4.4.4. Art. Not just the HDR+ capture.

Open any app or just press/spam the recent apps button, is fast, smooth, but much slower than KitKat.

It's just a preview. We'll need to wait for the final version.
