I think I fixed the "Miscellaneous" battery wasting. Simply relock the boot loader, as per Google's instruction.

Now the battery spending list:

Over counted: 5%

Screen, Chrome: 3%

Google service, Play Service: 2%

Android system, Google Search: 1%

The chrome tabs on recent apps appear as one. Is that a bug or will it coming later due to an update?
[Nexus 5 General] Nickbocker:
Not sure if this has been said, i tried finding it previously posted but have not seen it in this thread. I have been running the preview since day one and have had no issues with the things reported in this thread. However the one bug i have found is that when i am using my phone (nexus 5 32 gb on sprint) and someone calls me i do not see who is calling and the phone doesn't tell me who the missed call is/was.

[Nexus 5 General] newspeak:
That camera issue is strange ...right when I first installed L the camera worked fine and then I played with the manual exposure and now it freezes every time

I tried flashing the ROM without wiping but that didn't work ...oh well that's to be expected here's to hoping that its not too long without a fix because other then that "L" is stable enough to be a daily driver for me

---------- Post added at 06:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 PM ----------

Ok for the time being it appears the camera will only work in HDR + mode ...I can live with that ...I think someone already said that but I can confirm it works
[Nexus 5 General] david279:
Ok google works for me...Its even enable system wide for me. 'Google now' anywhere.
[Nexus 5 General] ZhenMing:
Hi all, if you had the camera problem, you could try to turn off the "Use NuPlayer (experiment)" in "Developer options". Make a restart to take effect

Please report in for your experience.

Thanks.

If I dint get it wrong nu player is with reducing the audio latency which android has sufferrd from !! Did u notice any changes with audio playback using this option !! Still awaiting s port for the nexus 4 !! :P
[Nexus 5 General] ZhenMing:
I'm not sure about the NuPlayer function, yet

I was testing the battery previously, so not to restart the phone. But the test was complete and I restart the phone with nuplayer OFF and my camera works again. I'm happy to say it is my daily driver from now onwards.

Same issue. Does anyone have a workaround?
[Nexus 5 General] derPianist:
I fixed this issues by going into settings and performing a factory reset.

Notice: this takes an awful lot of time! I almost thought my N5 was looping but after roughly 15 minutes it finally passed the "erasing" screen.

Storage now shows up fine both on device and in windows explorer.
[Nexus 5 General] zequav:
I had this "bug", but the reason in my case was my pronunciation. I'm Spanish and was pronouncing "ok google" as "okei guguel" (read in Spanish). It worked fine before L, but in L it catched 1 out of 20 tries. Android L is more finicky. I changed my pronunciation to make it more "American" and now it works every time.

(I'm serious. I hope my neighbours didn't hear me shout "ok google" a hundred times when I was trying to train the hotword detection before changing my pronunciation, or they'll think I'm crazy :silly:)

[Nexus 5 General] tangosierra_:
Is anybody experiencing more frequent signal drops on L? Mine goes to no signal/no data much more often; usually when I am attempting to use an app that requires data. (e.g. When I open Tapatalk I have full 4 bars + 3G, right after it opens it either goes to no signal/data, and a few seconds later, anywhere from 3 to 30 seconds everything returns to normal.)

I'm on the L radio.

to every single person complaining about bugs

- [B][COLOR="Red"]this is an alpha beta gamma testing version ment for developers to test out the new api and work on new apps[/COLOR][/B].
- [B][COLOR="red"]the preview is not ment to be an daily driver. so flash it on your own risk[/COLOR][/B]
- [B][COLOR="red"]they are still working on it[/COLOR][/B].

Also i don't have any bugs some users are complaining about - neither camera, tethering, wirelessdiplay flicker, lockscreen problems,

storage, rotation, systemui crash's while charging and so on. (please remind also, that android l is using the new art runtime, so some apps - like Vine - are not compatible yet.)

And btw, the keyboard scheme is stock like, thats right, but if you use them, you will see that they are switching their color schemes like discribed.

[Nexus 5 General] KalenXI:
Who's complaining? I thought the point of this thread was to post issues we run in to so other people have an idea of what kind of problems they may encounter if they decide to flash it for themselves and to see if we can find workarounds for any annoyances until they can be fixed in the final release. I don't think I've seen anybody going "omg why is this beta so terrible and buggy?!!?! Why would Google even release this???!!"

Chrome bug

Is the ram usage very high with Android L? Apps constantly have to reload. Chrome tabs are reloading constantly. Chrome seems to have a weird bug where a page would load then it would turn white, it seems to be closed by the os as reopening chrome reloads the page.
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
Think of this as a comparative info thread, not a complaint thread. I find it interesting there are disparate experiences on this same software, whether or not it was clean-flashed or not. For example, only one person has gotten tethering to work, but on a Mac....I can manually set a static IP and finally get connection, but no data flow. The more folks discuss this, the more these issues get resolved, if we can, or wait for another update. Rinse and repeat. No complaints. :) Cheers!

[Nexus 5 General] akash3656:
Settings -> Apps -> Running.

Now remember free RAM in Android is good stuff. You need free RAM, then Android will automatically use that space to cache running apps.

If you believe no free RAM is good, you'll see plenty of redraws.

So, in L Android System and System UI hogs a lot of RAM. You can use apps like System Monitor to check RAM usage for those system processes. The built in Android UI will show on the right hand side how many MB/GB of RAM is free (available) to cache.

On KK I easily have 1.1-1.3 GB of RAM available for caching apps. On L, it seems like there's only 400-500 MB of RAM available for caching apps.

And when system UI's RAM usage is very large, it may crash and the system RAM usage will reduce a lot temporarily.

Hi all,

If you face various of problem on Android L and you are using recovery to flash it, I will recommend you to use fastboot method especially the flash-all with wipe option.

I did it last night with flash-all and never root the phone. Since then, my camera work like charm. All function work well. My sdcard also work well with no missing sdcard or can't display content at all. I will monitor further before I took a step to root it.

For anyone having MMS issues with Sprint, have you guys tried messing with your APN? You may have to download an APN app on the Play Store but try putting in the stock Sprint APN and see if it works. When I set up my phone with L, the APN was completely gone.
[Nexus 5 General] flowserver:
For me, install next way: flash-all with cmd, then restart boot loader, wipe cache, then reboot again and wipe factory reset, then startup the device, restore my backup of apps+data, reset nexus again and nothing fails to me, even soft reset, nothing, all works, battery is fine, just loss 30% in 6hours with medium use..
[Nexus 5 General] MilkyJoePD:
I just tried to replicate that and it didn't happen. My home button doesn't work any more though.

I've had L installed since it was released and it's always worked, so booting while charging does something and I wouldn't recommend it.

Anyway, I'm off to look for a fix...
[Nexus 5 General] Charlus97:
Seems that it depends of your battery level when you try to boot. I previously had the "bug" at about 40%

Warning: By doing the following, your data in the phone (picture, downloads, apps, music's, etcs) will be lost forever. Please do backup first).

It should be fine then.

For WiFi and Bluetooth press the wording to go to the actual settings menu, press the icon itself for quick toggle

As for the other stuff, i read somewhere that Google didn't want to throw everything at the developers all at once, so they left out some of the features they demoed.

For example, the chrome tabs and material design for all first party apps, although some have already been updated. Calculator being one of them.
[Nexus 5 General] franklin01:
i think it has already been noticed, there is a bug on the lock screen using another language than english.

If you have a pin to unlock, when it gets unlocked, the nav bar disapears and the phone locks again.

Reboot fix the problem when it occurs.

When plugged in, the phone cannot be locked.

Fix is to plug it when already locked, after that you can lock/unlock while plugged in.

MMS doesnt work.

It's only for when someone calls you that the sound will play on both speakers, hence the louder sound. I think there's a mod inside one of the RomAurs that increases notification sounds.

Ok so ive read alot from the pro devs and people on the forums that unlocking your bootloader most "likely" wont void your warrenty esp. if you just relock it by restoring your TA backup and your carefull and clean about it but i have two problems with believing this. They are as fellows.

cant the sony apps just check for root and send a message

the service app knows if its unlocked and since youve entered your imei number to get your key again coulddnt sony send a message with your imei number

isnt the accounts linked between sony and google shared in the least which means the above questions can be passed on with google to sony

according to sony even if it doesnt void the warrenty that you agree to pay an additional repair fee for modified software.

Lets not beat around the bush and just say it would more than likly void your warrenty or at least have some cost. sorry if ive missread items on the forums but if i have read correctly or others have missunderstood as i may have hipefully this clears the air. Cause after all sony is company to make money but to make money they have to keep us happy so i am more than happy to admit i dont have a clue where it lies but i was about to unlock my boot loader when there was all these disclaimers which kinda scared me. my phones already rooted though so i may have already broken those disclaimers. END RANT.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iArvee:
Rooting is fine, as to my knowledge. It's unlocking the bootloader that you lose your "DRM" keys and thus lose warranty. But from what I've read, very few service centers check for that anyway. If all goes downhill, play the ignorance card and pretend that you do not know a thing about that. I'm fairly new to the whole rooting/unlocking scene and still learning, just as you. Also, from what I've been told, you have little to worry about if you have rooted/unlocked your phone.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.R™:
As far as I understand you only have to pay if your issue is a software fault aka your fault not sonys. A hardware fault is a hardware fault irrelevant of software
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremy.shi:
I remember someone posting a thread about sony refused to service his phone without a charge for a hardware fault because of the bootloader was unlocked. That's in Australia tho. Not sure how somewhere else is like.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grungypoo:
That's about right. Australia's not the most customer service friendliest country to be in (with literally less than a handful of exceptions, and this is across ALL industries, be it hospitality or electronics.)

The usual immediate reaction to most warranty claims are "you've done something with the phone to cause this," followed be "prove you haven't done this and we'll accept it, unless we can prove the opposite."

Happening with me and my current phone (samsung s3,) which is why I'm on this neck of the woods with the forum as I'm looking or a new phone.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremy.shi:
Well, I don't know. Maybe I'm just lucky. Shops in my suburb offer pretty good customer service. Those people over the phone from my bank, NAB, couldn't be friendlier...the time I had really bad customer service was with Vodafone, but they were not based in Australia. I guess that doesn't count.

Anyway, if after-sale service is what you are looking for, get a nexus from google play store. They are pretty much like Apple I heard. They send you a replacement if there's anything wrong and then you send your phone to them, but you have the get the phone from play store directly in order to get that kinda service. Otherwise, you will be stuck dealing with LG.

I have received really good customer service from Apple, but I guess most people here are mostly android fans.
