Hmm not bad idea, never thought about it. Will look into this tomorrow.

Thanks for the useful suggestion :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] paychex:
My remark wasn't inpolite--it was accurate. You, as a "recognised developer", shouldn't be encouraging such lazy behaviour.

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

you on a cdma carrier? that seems to be the issue.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
N5 does support otg, get yourself an otg cable and a USB memory stick and back it up that way...

There is no excuse for laziness wrt backups... Third party cloud (Dropbox, one box, sugarsync, Google drive) is only one option, home server backed up while you're connected to your home wifi (smb , cifs, nfs, ftp, scp, or what have you) is a second. USB sticks are always useful, sdcard, ssd, external hard drives, all via USB otg. There are SD card readers made by a couple companies that have inbuilt wifi chips and allow connections via wifi for transfer to and from sdcards (used one with my n4, couldn't be bothered to hack up the cables needed)

So, quit been lazy and finding excuses and start researching backup solutions that will work with your kit/setup/finances.

As for paychex being rude? Nah, he's just blunt and doesn't pull his punches...

As an RC, you should have developed a thicker skin by now to be able to withstand criticisms of your process...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] djnigeldarren:
Yea.. Sprint LTE
[Nexus 5 Android Development] expiredd:
Can't change 3g to 2g. I don't see it on data settings.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] paychex:
right now it's under gsm options. probably gonna have to wait till the official release. or ditch sprint
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ts1506:
Honestly put, its not the data loss which worries me. But as I said earlier, I try to avoid the clean start process as I put it if I can.

I have had to clean start many times when I messed up my phone (not only Nexus 5, but my earlier devices too), and its a thing which I generally dont enjoy. Thats my personal opinion. Peace, lets end this discussion here.

Also about paychex being rude, I personally dont mind that behaviour, but others might, so no need to be critical that way :)

I have been researching local auto backup procedures today BTW. Thanks to all for finally forcing my lazy self to do something I often planned but never actually did. :p :p Also I finally have a full backup of all content on my laptop, as I am planning to start afresh whenever final L is out.

I encouraged lazy behaviour :eek: Anyway, chill, lets end this discussion here.

Meanwhile, something useful, this ROM has been working great for me, I reached 13 hours SoT with light use on full battery saver and lowered brightness, which is an amazing feat. Also I have been reaching consistent 7h SoT on moderately heavy use without battery saver normally too.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
I always run a clean flash... First thing do if I'm having any issues, wipes my mods, my apps, starts with a pristine/proper rom, then I check check if the issue I was having still exists, if yes, I know it's a rom issue and I have to work around it, if no, I know I caused it myself with a mod, tweak, or change. It's practically a required part of troubleshooting...

And why all my data (that I'm worried about loosing get backed up to the clouds)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ts1506:
Exactly, for me, the clean flash via fastboot and wipe everything process comes after clean flash of zip to make sure its not my apps. In this case, that fixed the issue, or else I wouldve gone the clean flash via fastboot way.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Eh, I use stock, comes with a nice little "flash-all" script that installs and wipes with one command...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] expiredd:
I'm sorry to spam, and to repeat myself. But is it possible to change mobile data from 4G(LTE) to 3G only or 2G?

I don't see any options in mobile data settings like in Kikat.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Or we could go the other way and say if he's not capable of diagnosing, troubleshooting, and finding solutions on his own, that he shouldn't be using a developers preview which he should expect to be incomplete and possibly buggy... :p

But I think Im more cynical and expect more from users...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] paychex:
but does anyone know when they will release it as a preview. also will it be available as an ota?

I've been running L since I/O mostly stock... i played the first few days with various things like flashing kernels not built for L etc... then i just got obsessed with stability so i left it 100% stock for a while... i've had a very hard time with charging after using Fast Charge on Franco Kernel and 4.4.X and overall battery life with 81C and 79... One other thing that bugged me but i dealt with it b/c it wasn't hugely annoying was the color settings with stock kernel... So i decided to search for something that worked on L... THIS quoted post is exactly what i was looking for... installed TWRP 2.7.1.1, flashed Linear Kernel, booted fine w/o wiping of any kind... Noticed SuperSU wasn't working so i downloaded the SuperSU from the link in the OP... Flashed via TWRP... booted up perfectly with Root and everything working perfectly... Thank you [MENTION=2401682]nadiros[/MENTION] for sharing that link... I'm using Faux Clock to adjust settings and it works fine... only thing i've done is adjust gamma settings and turned on Fast Charge... i like simplicity :)

[ROM] N5 L Developer Preview (flashable) + Root & Busybox + IMG & Sys Dump

It's currently at about developer preview, meaning good enough to test out the functionality of apps against the system but not dependable enough to stake your safety on. It only sounds like sarcasm because the label was accurate.

i tried to flash " Stock ROM (LPV81C): http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23610159112651697" but progress bar is gray and not any blue bar in it ... i waited like 8 minutes ! and nothing happened .. neither error nor finished .

how long your take to flash , r u on twrp 2.8 ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ben36:
Did you unmount the system before flashing?

by default it is unmounted .. actualy when i go to mount part of recovery .. i can not mount it . whether or not touch it . . then it is unchecked and unmounted ... i can not wipe system and its strange !

and now it is giving me another error and flash failed .. here is the picture . uploading now

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 PM ----------

is it about bad zip file ? seems 2.8 have problem guys..because can not flash previous L preview either . going to flash 2.7.1.1 now .

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

solved now .. seems twrp wipe system bug !

now its done .. i shouldn't wipe system and data before flashing ... its twrp bug i guess . i flashed a kitkat and then without any wipe i flashed n5Lpl8c and all went ok .. now flashed now doing a factory reset .

Hi, i just bought Nexus 5 and installed Android L on it and sometimes when the phone in my pocket and i receive a call i pick it up and the screen is black! no notification the power button doesn't do anything and the volume buttons will silent the sound and after that the phone stays like this until i reboot it by pressing and hold the power button for 10+ seconds, so my question is this a knows bug in Android L on nexus 5 or it's a hardware issue ?﻿
[Nexus 5 Android Development] donnyp1:
Its either a bug or hardware issue
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
First of all, why would you install a developers preview as a daily driver? Secondly a sleep of death (screen refusing to turn on) is normally caused by a race condition in the wake system... Can be caused by a bad interaction between apps, a misconfiguration kernel, errors in the rim coding, a bad flash of the rom, etc etc etc... My advice is to go back to kit kat and wait until L is officially released.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Koragg618:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Pumpino:
Sorry if this has been raised before, but it's a long thread.

When I have an incoming call on the latest build, the first 1-2 seconds of the ringtone are cut off, regardless of whether I choose an included ringtone or use a custom tone. Can anyone replicate this, and is there a fix for it?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Gips3yD4ng3r:
Yea, wait for the full release
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Pumpino:
Are we not expecting further revisions before the final "L" build"? The rumour is that the next Nexus will be released at the end of October, so you'd think they'd squeeze in another preview.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] AwesomeTurtle:
If they catch wind of this thread, they most certainly won't.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Pumpino:
You mean due to all of the bugs? Isn't that more of a reason to release another preview?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
No, we aren't...

This is a developer preview, not a beta test.

This was supposed to be for developers to test app compatibility only, not the sheeple to install on their phones as a daily driver...

From what i read and 'heard' google doesn't want to further show any more improvements to the new L so the last update is minor improvements with no change to the look/feel so i dont think we will see any major updates till the final release

CM Is supposedly completely open-source (minus all of the private repositories) so it should only take a day or two to get the right device configuration and drivers for a phone they branded. Bit ironic if they used closed-source proprietary binaries after how much they whined to Qualcomm for the same thing.

BTW, Android was released in 2008 with the G1. 10 years ago, one of the founders was still at Danger making Sidekicks and they were the complete opposite of open-source.

Love the direction Android is headed. Great preview, and the Material design is sexy as hell. Love the fluidity of it all even if it is a Dev Preview. Been working on an SMS application and cannot seem to get the gradient right in the status bar to blend in with the header, but I guess I'll just have to study the guidelines more or start from scratch haha. ?

As a side note, I understand that this is a Dev Preview thread, but I don't understand why there is an elitist attitude when someone comes in and asks a question. A simple "Try checking out the previews pages, or posts before you ask." or even a "This is really not final release yet, so it isn't expected to be used as a DD. There will be bugs." I'm pleasantly surprised that most senior members don't realize that there are newbies, and we were all newbies once, asking the same redundant questions, yet still respond in an almost harsh tone. Just my $.02.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Tzfardaya:
Actuality, just an FYI, this isn't the dev preview discussion thread.. This thread is supposed to be for issues with vomer's repackaged zip for installing the dev preview... The dev preview thread is here.

As to the "elitist" attitude, wait until you've been around longer... Once you've seen the same 3 questions asked over and over and over again, gotten harassed when you ask the posters to search, read the op, or even just read the page they've asked their question on, you'll probably get a little jaded too...

Someone posted in another thread yesterday that they can't be bothered to search for their question, they think it would be a waste of 20 minutes if they searched, and that their time is too important. Unfortunately, that wasn't the first time I've seen posts like that. If that's the attitude that new users are going to bring to xda and "demand" we answer them, they can expect us to have the same attitude with regards to their searching and doing their own research.

There is a reason why the first rule of xda is to search before posting, first rule... Even before the rules about behavior... Search first, behave second.
