You missed one benefit of the masses learning to think for themselves and read... Trolls like me wouldn't have as much Chum to munch on and would go back to being the friendly helpful users we were before getting fed up with the "rampant idiocy" of people not reading or searching threads for answers before posting sent us off the deep end...

Many of the senior xda users who have been extremely helpful in the past but left due to the current crop of users may come back, developers who quit for the same reason may come back....

Could be that Google hasn't added full fit compatibility to this build...

Has anybody gotten a bug where you press the "home" button and the screen turns black? and you can't do anything?? It just happened to me three times in a row, where for some reason I guess the systemUI crashes and it doesn't restart or something. I can still pulldown my notification, even open up my camera app and take pictures (though other apps will not open). My recents button ends up not working and neither does my back button, only fix I found was to shut off my phone. I'm not running anything out of the ordinary and the preview has been flawless since I flashed it Saturday.

The only thing I have changed is I installed switftkey ( I had it installed day 1 but never activated it) so I uninstalled it and testing to see if the bug/crash ends up happening again.

Screen Locking Sounds and Touch Sounds

I read some people in this thread mention low volume touch sounds, did anyone find a cause/fix?

For me, if I put my ear right up to the speaker, I can faintly hear touch sounds and the screen locking sounds, but they have a fuzzy/static sound to them. I tried wearing headphones, and it was still extremely quiet, but the static seems to not be present.

I did do a factory wipe, but the problem persists. Any ideas?
[Nexus 5 General] dannejanne:
Just give it up it's a developer preview why bother. Touch sounds are wonky in the latest preview.
[Nexus 5 General] rmein:
I don't see what's wrong with compaining about high Miscellaneous battery use.

If it's high then Android's battery stats just aren't working properly, and that seems like a bug to me. Finding out what hasn't been spotted by the battery stats won't give you more battery life, but it will let you know what is really draining the battery.
[Nexus 5 General] sjknight413:
Read what said here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=56187687

That miscellaneous 'drain' isn't drain at all, it's just factors affecting battery life that google can't predict. If KitKat measured the same thing you'd see exactly the same account of 'miscellaneous'.

Thought my explanation might stop people complaining, evidently not.

[Nexus 5 General] rmein:
My point is that if 90% of your battery life is unpredictable then battery stats aren't much use. If 5% of your battery life is unpredicatble it's no big deal. Useless battery stats are well worth complaining about. It's a problem with google's battery life prediction as much as anything, but you really can't deny that it is a problem.

Showing how much is unpredictable is at least a step in the right direction since it gives people something to complain about :)
[Nexus 5 General] Failyx:
No its not weird, its normal in Lollipop.

BTW, what file explorer do you use?
[Nexus 5 General] L0cke:
Everything working fine here and loving a bit of Lollipop. The only thing that annoys me is having to press OK (Tick) on entering a PIN on the Lockscreen, and the fact that you can't set a different Lockscreen wallpaper to that of the Homescreen. Why on earth can't they let us do that! Grrrr :)

I apologise in advance if this is possible and i have just missed it.

I wrote this before but couldn't get any answer.

Here is the picture about my three network situation in Ireland.

Three seems to have two networks. One is fully functional the other one appears to be a roaming one (even though it's written "3") so i don't get any connection from it.

Since i am on Lollipop what happens is that on low signal it switches to the 2nd " 3" network on roaming.

My questions are:

Does three Ireland has 2 networks, 1 for 3g\4g and the other for GSM?

Why this issue didn't show up on KitKat?

Hope somebody can answer these.

Thanks

I flashed the pure white lightness rom and the first try letting it restore everything all the apps started force closing and nothing would respond. So I wiped again and started fresh just downloading the basic apps I need the most. I uses it for several hours last night and as of this morning all is good. XDA acts a bit weird sometimes but what else is new, it's always the most glitchy app.

Considering all the new animations and how pretty and detailed it looks I can't believe that it actually feels more fluid than before. I'm used to animations turned off, this time I put them at 0.5x and it's really nice.

Too early to say for sure but its working for me for now. Fingers crossed. I have my backup HTC desire with me in the work truck just in case.

Hi Guys,

I am unable to send a text message (SMS) from this messaging app, i failed to find settings to configure the gateway number etc. Please can anyone guide on where it is located?

Appreciate your help!
[Nexus 5 General] mhdsanto85:
I like so much the new lockscreen. the only thing that bothers me is the phrase "confidential content" that shows up when you set to not show notification content. It would be just the app name and icon. the phrase is not necessary.

other thing is that if you want to control the music from lockscreen, you need to set the option to show notification content. If i want privacy and not show my notification contents, then i cant control music without unlocking the device. but its not a big deal

The screen on in notification could waste battery. you have a notification light that does the alert. For me its enough.

best regards.
[Nexus 5 General] snappycg1996:
The battery life on KitKat is seriously sickening me... like legit, gives me an upset stomach.

I get roughly 3 hours, sometimes 3.5 SOT on KitKat, using greenify, airplane mode on, and brightness all the way down. I just do NOT understand it... I had 95% left on Dalvik when I used Google Play Music on my transit, and that was about 45 minutes. Now I usually have 97% on ART. Today, though, I had 95 percent. What?? This is on ART!

Bring in Lollipop. Monday and Tuesday I ran battery tests. After pushing my phone loads, I got 4hours SOT on Lollipop. With battery saver mode on all day, I got 5.5 hours SOT on the newest preview.

Now that I'm back on my KitKat stock ROM today, (MultiROM FTW) this battery life is really making me sick, and not even want to use my phone much. Like I want to just preserve the battery life. Keep in mind, not all my apps are on Lollipop, only about a select 6. But still... greenify and I watch over all my apps. Nothing rogue in there. My main battery drainers is Android System and Android OS and then screen. Sometimes the OS and System take up more than my screen!

I had to get it off my chest xD I just cannot believe how bad battery is on KitKat it seems. Hopefully I get 5 hours SOT on Lollipop from the getgo. I'm hopeful...
[Nexus 5 General] Dungeon47:
I'm experiencing the opposite. What am I doing wrong?
[Nexus 5 General] and313:
Well... Downloaded 4gbs on wifi in about 20min battery went from 80 to 60... A lot more then on kitkat
[Nexus 5 General] snappycg1996:
Honestly, I have zero idea. I had horrendous battery on KitKat, whereas some I seen having 5 hours SOT? And me with my 2-2.5 with service, and airplane mode it seems I get 3-3.5. Many users in this thread have complained about battery life on this preview, but I'm one of the lucky ones who don't have a problem thus far. Although keep in mind, not all my apps are installed. Only a select few, snapchat, Thumb, Instagram, Google Play Music, Google Chrome, off the top of the head.

Maybe that's the problem, maybe I will have terrible battery... but so far I like it. If it is terrible on official Lollipop, I may seriously uninstall every game, social site app, and just have my phone almost barebones. But I guess we will see.

EDIT: It's interesting to note that on the first preview, I had pretty bad battery life, 2.5 SOT with airplane mode on with these apps. Of course that preview had the GApps too installed, this one doesn't.

I'd love to flash this preview as my internal stock ROM, with all my apps. But the reason I'm holding off is I hope I get the OTA update fast and don't have to back everything up. But if I don't get it by midnight on release date, I'll just download (hopefully) a zip and flash it like I would a custom ROM.

OTA updates imo is just so much easier to perform. And I have a limited data connection on my Internet, so I can't be updating apps and ROMs until after midnight because then it's unlimited. With my life at the moment, I'm busy and tired a lot, and barley am up past 10.

[Nexus 5 General] Taiyo85:
I don't usually post much here but seeing several people complaining about the battery life on this preview, I feel the need to share my experience:

I have all my apps installed like I had on 4.4.4 and use my phone just like I used to. This is my only phone, so I need it for work as well as my personal device.

First and second day (non-root) on this preview my battery life was very bad. If I was on wifi it was bearable (4h SOT) but the moment I was on cellular the battery started dropping like a stone. I was able to reach 2h SOT the second day and then it was totally dead. I thought it had to do with the preview but after reading some comments throughout XDA and read an important piece of information: this is a preview and most apps are not optimized for it. I then decided to open my eyes for misbehaving apps. I found that in the midst of my 63 apps, Google Play Services and Facebook were rebooting each 5 minutes (Applications/Running). I installed Greenify and manually tried to hibernate Facebook.

On the third and final day without rooting and with Greenify keeping a close-as-you-can-get-without-root hand on Facebook I was able to reach 3h SOT with mix usage wifi/3g.

Yesterday I decided rooting my phone, everything went according to plan. And today, with my normal usage 3g/wifi and low brightness I'm on my way to 5h SOT (more than I was able to get on 4.4.4).

Yes I'm very happy with this preview, I haven't had any bugs on the system. Except gsam that is not working correctly for me... So what I wanted to say is that if you are getting bad battery life check for running processes/apps that are rebooting. Facebook was my culprit, but maybe yours is different?

I hope I'm able to help somebody looking for solutions to their problem. Still remember this is a preview and the final version is going to be different. If you are stable/happy on kitkat and cannot afford loosing the reliability of your phone DON'T flash this preview. If you still want to flash this preview, keep a close eye on waking/running apps ;)

I think it's something with the new Google Play Services 6.1.74. Yesterday I was getting a bunch of Google Play Services has stopped errors. It wasn't fine on the GPS 5.x release that came with the developer build. Note, I haven't tried the new GAPPs like everyone else is, just rooted.
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
All this talk about battery life. Ugh. Can someone clarify this for me? What is Screen On Time and why do people care so much? Is it just an estimation the system is giving you based off your use? If that's it, then doesn't it depend on how you use it? Someone who plays games and watches movies will have a lower SOT than someone that doesn't. And if that's the case, what does someone's SOT mean to anyone else? If how I am thinking of it is true, then it means nothing to anyone else. If I have the wrong idea of what it is, please enlighten me. I have never been one to care about battery life and it seems the same as it's always been for me.
[Nexus 5 General] jaxbierley:
SOT is the amount of time the screen has been on. Not how much is left. In my experience, the higher the SOT the better the battery. Everyone is trying to get the highest SOT. That is the goal.
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
Ok, well then you can have two devices...one sitting with the screen on, doing nothing. And one playing a video/game. The same SOT will give you different battery life. It still depends on usage.
[Nexus 5 General] surrealjam:
This is true and well accepted but I think it's one of the only yardsticks available for comparison. I personally think idle battery life is more interesting as that should be more similar across devices...

Either are to be taken with a pinch of salt though.

[Nexus 5 General] tidsoptimist:
A little tip from me.

If you finally decide to try to encrypt your phone and/or use a pin due to the fact of the introduction of "Smart Lock", think again.

Atm twrp (2.8.0.1) doesn't seem to be able to decrypt your /data making your encryption seem kinda dumb.

This has probably to do with the new encryption scheme used(?).
