Well, if I toggle on battery saving mode in gps settings it looks fine but if I back out and go back into gps it's back on high accuracy. Does yours do this?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vomer:
follow manual install steps in op
[Nexus 5 Android Development] aoaleman:
MMS works fine for me. I'm on T-Mobile USA.

Check your APN settings. If you use Hangouts, I know there is a separate APN settings there.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] apetrok91:
Ok, I'm on At&t....straight talk to be exact but Im on ATT towers since that's all that's in my area. I copied my regular APNs to hangouts and selected that one so I'll test later when I get good signal.

Never had to do that before, if the APNs were right, hangouts worked fine. I've been able to send a picture through hangouts protocol all along though.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Nope... Well, If I get it though that drop down it does, but if I turn GPS off via tasker or the included power toggles widget (stock) it doesn't.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rich2007:
So I flash everything except userdata.img ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vomer:
yes
[Nexus 5 Android Development] derPianist:
Do I have to make any additional steps before flashing the ZIP in CWM if coming from CM11?

And what stands "un-mount / system" for? I've never done that before flashing a ROM.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] melbourne408:
If you wipe /system, it will mount /system.

So after you wipe, unmount /system before proceeding to flash.

From Cm11 after you factory reset (I use TWRP) if you wipe /system and get any errors make sure it's unmounted.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] paychex:
Just disable NFC in settings

When you wipe dalvik and cache it disappears
[Nexus 5 Android Development] apetrok91:
Turns out my apns are not working on Android L for MMS. If anyone is running on StraightTalk and are using the At&t towers, please post your APNs if your MMS is working.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] midgarsormr:
Just using one if the other apps for sending an mms like chomp or hello sms. It's annoying but works for now. I don't send a lot of mms anyways.

Let me know if your sd card is seen or is says insert one in the camera app please
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rich2007:
I just wiped everything so I don't have issue like you mentioned
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Oscarandco:
I found the culprite. I use SMS/MMS to replace hangoot. So i make that you say in the reply. In first time i don't install all my app's and it's running like a charme. And when i downlaod it and apply that's restart. So now i use hangoot and all is fine for me...:o
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Well, if you want mms to work (seems to be broken with hangout atm) most of us are using bite or hello
[Nexus 5 Android Development] skw5115:
Surprisingly MMS only works with hangouts for me. I installed hello and evolvesms and MMS didn't work for either. I then tried sending and receiving through hangouts again and it worked
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
What carrier?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] skw5115:
T-Mobile US
[Nexus 5 Android Development] HiGhDRo3o5:
Can you please pm me exactly what you did to get hangouts to send and recieve mms. Im forced to use hello sms but cant stand it due to i must have wifi off
[Nexus 5 Android Development] robertm2011:
I too am on T-Mobile, and Hangouts is working for me.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] occtec:
For those having problems with L. I have flashed the zip in OP a couple of times now with no issues whatsoever when it comes to the installation. Have not had any issues with reboots or SMS. I am using 8sms which had been updated to work with L Preview. I am using twrp as custom recovery and do recall their being some issue when wiping data/caches etc on KitKat. So what I've been doing different before I flash the L preview zip is going into twrp recovery and wiping all data, system, cache, dalvik BUT multiple times to make sure everything is wiped correctly then I just flash the preview zip. Once this process is finished i DO NOT reboot to system BUT back to recovery and flash SuperSU and then i reboot to system.Yes first boot takes quite a while but after this all is good. Folders are untouched and all my data intact on internal storage. This is my setup that I thought I would share with others as I have not experienced the issues others are having with flashing zip. I have even restored a backup of KitKat from twrp and then reverted back to L without any issues. Anyway hope this helps those having issues. :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bertcarv:
Hello. Thanks for sharing this. Have you had issues with your camera app? That for me seems to be the only problem area. I am on at&t and have had no other issues except for the camera crashes. Thanks,

Bert
[Nexus 5 Android Development] occtec:
Hey Bert, no issues for me with camera. Taking snapshots and video with ease.

EDIT: maybe try clearing your camera app cache and data.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hoopsdavis:
I've asked this question once before but never got much feedback I wonder if I'm the only one having this issue.

Have you guys tested call waiting. If I'm on a call and another call comes in, I get no notification of second call.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] occtec:
No haven't had the opportunity as yet but will test and get back to you
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bertcarv:
Oh wow. I cleared the cache and even downloaded a couple camera APK's and tried and still have the issue. For me it's dealbreaker for now anyways. I realize it's a preview and buggy for some and obviously the camera issue for me but, I do need to have the camera working. So, I'm back on 4.4 for now and just keep a close eye on this and other "L" threads. Thanks for the quick reply. Much appreciated.

Bert
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
very true after i installed vomer's version my play store is paying some apps or the other always and is about to reach my credit limit! Vomer stop it okay :P
[Nexus 5 Android Development] occtec:
Not a problem, that's really odd with the camera though, never had an issue. Did you do a clean flash of L?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
Probably thats how google will get the feedback from end users and see what all issues or bugs they need to fix before releasing the full version. Obviously it can be done is true but obviously they want the feedback from users who got time to test and report and the rest queue can wait if they don't want to test simple.....

Camera functionality it works for me and so for many!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
I think you're both forgetting that this release was supposed to be only so developers can start making their apps compliant with the coming L release, not for people like us to be using as daily drivers. It's my understanding that Google isn't really looking for end-user input on L (aside from the bug reporter they've set up, mostly as a gesture from what I can see on it.) L is still under heavy development in the Google house, probably still in beta stage (but most of the under the hood changes are *hopefully* finished)

Now, I have no special sources or insider information, I'm just going by what I know of the development cycle and google's own historical actions..

The issues are being fixed, whether it not they will be released in another developers preview, your guess is as good as mine...

I would not expect any new developers previews unless they make some major changes under the hood that break app compatibility from this one.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bertcarv:
Yes, but I think I'll wipe twice and reflash just to see what happens. I truly like the UI of L and battery life is great. Don't keep many apps on there but the camera is an essential app for me at least.

Thanks,

Bert
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
I wouldn't bother with the double wipe, just download the original Tarball from Google, verify the checksum, then use the flash-all script included in the Tarball. That should give you the least trouble in the long run.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bertcarv:
Thank you for the advice. I'm going to try that and will report back here either way.

Bert
[Nexus 5 Android Development] occtec:
I would be inclined to also delete your DCIM & Pictures folder on internal storage make sure you backup your photos first as these two folders are linked to your camera.

EDIT: unless offcourse you are doing a complete wipe which will wipe internal storage anyway.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
I would recommend rather that he copies everything off the phone (don't use a backup app) that he wants to keep, pictures, music, files, etc... As the flash-all script will erase *everything* including the file systems...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] occtec:
Agreed! All my point is should he use the zip file and follow the procedure I posted a few posts back he shouldn't have a drama ;)

---------- Post added at 09:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

Latest code blue beta kernel running a treat nice and snappy with L ;) also using Nova launcher & latest FKU with Yorici color profile.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
A dram a' what? ;) I could use a dram a' Scotch about now...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] occtec:
One bottle of scotch = harder workout on the bike (uphill) LOL ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
What? You think I can maintain a bike going uphill after a full bottle of Scotch? I said a dram anyways...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SacredDeviL666:
I never said or meant it to be a daily driver but a build which is in its initial stage of R&D which is why they released this build was all i was trying to convey.... :D

Howz your weekdays going so far :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Glad the work day is over...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] robertm2011:
Yeah, I flashed the bootloader, boot, radio and system .IMG files adb style (!) and everything is running great (Google camera included).
[Nexus 5 Android Development] :
I am still having MMS issues. I flashed every radio all the way back to KRT16M, saved APNs on both hangouts and under the system menu, and tried another SMS app, and did a clean reinstall. Does it make any difference if you use a flashable zip vs fastboot?

Can anyone suggest anything else?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] :
Is it possible to flash superuser instead of supersu?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
The radio has nothing to do with the sms/mms issues anyone is having. It's down to an incompatibility between the apn sets.

The system uses its own apn settings, which should be right, but for some reason hangouts also has a set of apn values... If these are wrong, it won't work for mms...

On my phone, hangouts kept using the wrong apn (even after I set the right one..), deleting all but the apn I use made it work for me...

---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

Why? What's wrong with supersu?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] :
OK thanks for the reply, I'll try that out
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sam razzy:
Do anyone know when this gonna be officially launched.? Every time I search it says it will come in the fall ? What does the month we can expect ? Answer who can help me out :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
September to November most likely...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] sam razzy:
What made me confused was I saw android police mentioned in their website saying that few weeks to go for android L official launch
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Maybe they know something I don't... but I don't expect to see L released until around Halloween...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bertcarv:
[MENTION=4997933]occtec[/MENTION] and TZfardaya:

Thank you both and wanted to let you know, I followed both your instructions and saved my internal sd info and I flashed the Google Tarball and I now have my camera working!

Regards,

Bert
[Nexus 5 Android Development] :
So is that a no? To answer your question, the nexus 4 build uses superuser and more apps function correctly.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
The answer is I haven't checked... On the nexus 5, supersu seems to be more effective, more apps seem to have issues on superuser.. (fku, stick mount, tasker, greenify)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eluspo:
Any one know whats causing miscellaneous batt drain?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dspcap:
ha ha... fall time.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
As near as we have been able to figure out, it's from apps that aren't quite L compatible yet, as they crash and leave orphaned threads running in the background. Since the main process has dropped, Android can't track what apps are causing the drain.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] eluspo:
Thanks for the info
[Nexus 5 Android Development] 1ManWolfePack:
That's the life we live, brother. Some can hang while others buckle under the stress. I'm not directing this at you solely, but it you're worried about a clean wipe, why are you even on a tinkering site?

I wipe ALL DAY. Lost my data? Who cares! Cloud keeps what's important (email, contacts, downloaded apps)....so you lost your save in Dead Trigger 2? And you're stressing over it? Get out!

Texts from ex-wife? There's apps that let you back that up as an .XML! Judge won't take texts on a phone anyways, so I just saved you a step?

You don't back your contacts up to Google? Your fault! That's why it's there.

Again, not a personal attack on you, more a general rant about people complaining of wiping. These are the people that always have the most issues and repeatedly post duplicate questions. I've been clean flashing for 4 years and if you look through my history (you can't see my old account) you'd see I rarely have issues.

Wipe it all clean, baby ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
I think his argument is more towards how the average Android user would expect to be able to take the next update without losing all their data.

We on the xda are the exception to the system.

Many of us don't care if we lose our data for the very reasons you mentioned, but when L goes live, most non-developers users will not be so tolerant of any resulting data loss... But there are ways around that, I'm not sure how well they work from the recovery partition, I've never looked into upgrade zips and added shell scripts.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] dspcap:
You asked the same question on the Android L Developer Preview thread 2 weeks ago.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53758738&postcount=1987

"Hey I know that L gonna release on this fall but I would like to know which month exactly...?? Bcoz I dunno what is fall means?? Winter?? :P"

If you don't know what fall means, look it up.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Fall = when gravity reasserts itself and you land hard....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Scallywag1:
I've noticed Netflix has updated their app like 3x in last week. Any improvement with Chromecast? I just received another update which is why I asked
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
You'd have to ask them...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] 1ManWolfePack:
Or just try it too, ya know?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] :
Not sound rude, but if you haven't checked, how would know if supersu seems better?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] paychex:
I'm with you. But I'm also lazy. Dirty flash till there's a problem
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
I haven't checked if superuser works on L, but I do know those apps I listed had issues with superuser on the n5 kitkat ROMs....
[Nexus 5 Android Development] nadiros:
Camera works fine for me. Location issue has been addressed either in this thread or the other L discussion thread. Nexus 4 took a lot of work and as far as I know its a hybrid anyways so if you really want to get picky
[Nexus 5 Android Development] 1ManWolfePack:
Oh yeah, I'll dirty flash all day, but I'm ready at any moment to clean flash and walk away when I know the heat's around the corner ☺
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnyp1:
Totally agree with everything you said. I haven't restored any app/data in almost 3 years of phone flashing. I learned the hard way. Fwiw, this L is a daily for me, for 7 days+ now. You nailed it
[Nexus 5 Android Development] occtec:
I know this is not the place to ask! Can someone recommend a good app for call & text blocking. Need ability to block certain texts and calls.

Thanks in advance ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnyp1:
Someone mentioned chomp SMS, it has a WiFi setting for t mobile that auto shuts off WiFi to send MMS. I can confirm this works great for me. Also plume for twitter works excellent on L.

Woohooo Xposed lovers, looks like ART & Android L support is coming our way... http://www.androidauthority.com/android-l-xposed-401408/
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jackie_jagger:
It always was, he had said it long before Android L. He always wanted to wait for it to be final so he can get to work. Don't expect it to come right away, it'll take a while. He'll have to rewrite it ground up AFAIK. Plus the ART in L isn't even final ART, so he doesn't want to waste time on something that might not even work in final release of Android L NOR would it work in KitKat ART because it is again way different.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] occtec:
I am aware of this my friend ;) but it's a working progress [emoji106]

EDIT: this was also shared for a positive purpose other than a negative discussion!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ben36:
Yea, my bother isn't with wiping its the 'surely they can't expect the world to wipe they're phones clean for the official L release when it comes.

And to figure why some have no sdcard issue yet others do

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Oscarandco:
Apologies, sms / mms works well. I found the real culprit. If someone else has the same problem when the phone is charging, it should mute the homescreen in the settings and everything works. LED notification also works with sms / mms for me. What happiness!:good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hoopsdavis:
What do you mean mute the homescreen?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Oscarandco:
Ho sorry my english is so bad:crying:. When you go in settings, you choose sounds and notifications, go in others sounds and choose sound lockscreen and put off. Is it better?:D

you mean "screen lock sound" right?

I'm using this rom for a few days now, and I'm really happy with it. I have a few apps that I can't use on L, but I can live without them. Some root apps give problems to. Battery life is very good, currently I get an average of 5 hours of SOT. I have only one question, is there an option to enable heads up display? Because I can't find it anywere?

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
As near as I can tell, the heads up notification is baked in and always on... *but* it's a new app that the developers of tried party apps need to use for their apps to trigger heads up notification rather than just the basic notifications in the pull down page.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jumparound246:
Over counted? Does anybody know what that means?!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] :
Deleted all APNs in hangouts and the other system ones I wasn't using. I can send mms now and it's received on the other end but when I receive a mms it show a notification and gives the option to download it but it hangs at downloading. Anyone else have any other suggestions?

I've tried several different APNs thinking that would resolve it, but nothing did. I'm on Net10.

My guess is the system estimates your battery level and that is showing you where it appears you "lost" battery life when actually it over counted to begin with.
