Jusy say I dont have mms plan ?
[Nexus 5 General] gaurav2009:
Hi there,

Your method is working for me but i have to run all those commands everytime i tether...is there any permanent way to save those settings or something so i don't have to do all those steps again...thanks
[Nexus 5 General] buraktamturk:
I don't think so, the routing table is changed by the freamework and kernel everytime you get new ip from isp and everytime you tether. Even if there is, the gateway you get from isp would change when you lost signal or change station or something, so old gateway would become invalid.

As i understant the default route in fact doesn't change when you enable and disable tethering, and when provider gives another ip address routing table is updated correctly. So you just may only need to do this every first tethering on every restart, that's what i did on my vocation last week.
[Nexus 5 General] gaurav2009:
Ah that sucks...thanks anyway :good:

Version 14.0.0.0.10
[Nexus 5 General] ss4rob:
I'm going to answer my own question here - this is how I got MMS working on Sprint:

1.) Download Textra, leaving the APN settings as defaults (I'm sure Chomp SMS would work too)

2.) Switch the default to Textra in Settings

3.) Flash the KitKat / 4.4.4 / KTU84P / 2.0.50.1.16 radio via fastboot

Boom - MMS on Sprint working, and downgrading the radio hasn't affected anything else. While I personally use Hangouts, some of my contacts use MMS for group messaging, so this fix beneficial. I've really enjoyed this developer preview - battery life is good and apps are getting updated accordingly. Hopefully Google will give us a few more builds with proper VPN, MMS, & tethering fixes, but otherwise this will remain my daily driver. :good:
[Nexus 5 General] khanh1289:
there is a new build for KK today. I wonder if the new radio will work better. Does anyone know if someone have tried hangouts apk from KK along with radio from KK on L release to solve mms issue?

[Nexus 5 General] beta990:
Hi all,

Really enjoying Android L on my Nexus 5:

- The design is better than it ever been

- The notifications are looking better

- Sliding down menu now features almost everything (except flashlight)

I found a few 'bugs' however:

- Battery goes down quickly

- Energy-saving if battery is almost empty, doesn't improve lifetime

- Removing apps (Settings > Apps) will keep showing the app in list, even when it is removed

I flashed the ROM with the Google provided adb, but I hope they make a bit more easier in the new versions; still needed to Google a lot of stuff before I could use adb.

Some questions:

- How to remove all the notifications in the same time?

- When will there be a new (dev.) release?

Thanks. :)
[Nexus 5 General] SilentGaia:
It technically uses data, since I remember when I had my first phone (some ****ty Samsung texting phone back in 2010), I kept hitting the internet button, and back then, my family didn't have data, so we asked AT&T to place a Wixie block so they wouldn't charge us for data, and that blocked off the MMS as well. Since it "uses" data, the speed is affected by what data connection you have, but it doesn't get charged by data, at least in the US. It just falls under the SMS part of the plan, so your overall data usage isn't affected by MMS either, or if it is, it's like really little, maybe like at most 1MB, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone on a normal phone getting charged for it. That's what makes it perfect for people who don't have smart phones, since most people who don't have smart phones usually only have SMS at most. As long as there is no Wixie block in place, most general people with SMS in the US are able to send MMS.

Unfortunately, I'm on Sprint and this did not work for me. What provider are you using? Are you connected to 3G or LTE? Did you do any other modifications?
[Nexus 5 General] Alekos:
I'm on Rogers (Same as AT&T) and the only way I could get MMS to work is by using Hello SMS, even though I like EvolveSMS better.

I also had less bugs by using the official Android Developer Preview install method, even though it wipes the phone, its much more stable and better battery life than flashing the "L" Recovery Zip (and with Code Blue Kernel battery life is amazing)

Only issue I'm having is with WiFi Hotspot, haven't tried the commands mentioned above but an app would be much easier (Not using HotSpot has saved me on data usage tho!)
[Nexus 5 General] qwahchees:
Can someone advise me on whether going to Android L can be used as a daily driver without issues? What bugs are currently in the build?
[Nexus 5 General] thecryof:
I use it daily and like it very much. I use it plain vanilla with only a few apps from the play store (root explorer, quickpic, poweramp, mx player pro) as many apps are not yet ART compatible (that is the point of this preview, so that developers can update their apps) and some have graphical issues as well (look back a few pages here, you'll find more info on that). It is rooted and so I keep a Slimkat zip on the sdcard just in case L decides to freak out. I'm very excited for the next release of this completely new version.

Don't expect too much from this preview as it has many bugs/unfinished code.
[Nexus 5 General] kamots:
Search is your friend. There are several threads about android L including what apps work and which don't also an thread specifically for bugs. As for a daily driver , sure, why not? there is a workaround for pretty much all the things that were issues (ie. Facebook, MMS, WiFi tether... Etc...)

Nevermind! Flipped wireless tethering off and on. Now my Nexus 7 can connect to the Interwebz via my Nexus 5 running L.
[Nexus 5 General] buraktamturk:
As far i see, there is two problem i have seen in tethering and vpn, both of them internal bug from android l.

The first is you computer that connected to the tethering is not getting ip address from dhcp server running on android. (it should get any ip from 192.168.41.0/24 range) if it's not you can give manual ip to your computer or device, OR simply turn off tethering and turn on again, your computer will get ip from that range.

The second problem is routing, the default gateway is deleted when you enable tethering, which causes both your computer and nexus 5 can't connect to the internet, you simply add the default route and both of them works again. If you have problems with finding the default route, 'ip route' command will show all routes, note the ip of default gateway then enable tethering, then disable tethering, then enable tethering again (this solves dhcp issue), then use 'route add default gw x.x.x.x' to fix the routing table.

If it still doesn't work, you can post these informations here, i will help you.

The ip address that your computer get.

'netcfg' output

'ip route' output before enabled tethering and after enabled tethering twice, and after adding default route.

By the way, I am using "Vodafone Turkey" as my provider. Using 3G to connect internet. (We don't have LTE yet.)

Flashed the backup zip and ran the 4.4.4 modem zip and I'm having the same issue. I'm currently in 4.4.4 but I was directed here by my closed thread.

When I unlocked my bootloader, the setup wizard SHOWED me my networks, but froze after I entered the password.

Hi,

Whats Cardview and elevation?
[Nexus 5 General] rpr69:
The only issue with root isn't the act of rooting, it's apps that don't use the proper security contexts that cause the reboots. Two that I know that cause reboots are Greenify, if you enable the root option, and ROM Toolbox if you try and manage apps (freeze, etc) as root, it will reboot. Other ROM Toolbox Root functions work, for the most part. The latest SuperSU install makes it super easy.
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
So it's root apps that cause the problems? Not root itself? I wonder which ones I had that caused the reboots. Maybe I'll root and slowly add root apps. I saw superSU was updated with something that had to do with Android L but wasn't sure if it was related to any of the problems. And what new SuperSU install are you referring to? Is there a new way other than fastboot?

It's only bad to use it as a daily driver if you complain about certain things not working right for you.

Only reason I gave it up was MMS... but that is probably resolved by now. I'm just lazy :P

Which seems to be the better option for installing 'L' from people's experience?

I tried a complete, clean factory reset and install but the battery life was dismal. I haven't tried the dirty flash from the rooted ZIP that's available yet though. So which is recommended for best results?
