Exact same happens to me as well. Only seems to happen for me after changing the wallpaper from the default (though not right away, only after some time, and the screen has locked again) , though I have not tested it by just leaving the wallpaper on the one it comes set as.

Also, happens on my Nexus 7, so its not just limited to the Nexus 5.

Quick side question for you as you have a PIN enabled (as do I). Do you still need to swipe up, to unlock the screen, then enter PIN?

This is how mine functions, but I cannot tell if it is a bug, or by design. Can't say I think its by design, and thats not how it works in KK.

[Nexus 5 General] DoesntPostAThing:
It is a developer preview, so one wouldn't expect it to be daily driver material... However, I've been running it since day one and while there are minor (some major) annoyances, I'll deal with it because of all those fancy new APIs to play with :D Whether it's stable enough for you to use as a daily driver is up to you to decide, and depends on what you require of your phone. Best I can tell you is that basic phone functionality (calls, sms, data, wifi, etc.) have worked so far no problems, people report MMS problems, and apps, well, that really depends again. Most things work, few apps don't, you can check online to see if everything you need works.

These exist?
[Nexus 5 General] jetbruceli:
From my experience with L preview, it's been pretty solid as a daily driver. The issues are all related to 3rd party apps. Most work fine but some like Facebook have issues.

I have been using the web version of Facebook to compensate.

Anyways, if your having issues with L then, you probably flashed it wrong. I installed it with complete wiping before and after it was flashed I did another factory reset.
[Nexus 5 General] DoesntPostAThing:
There are glitches in many places though, especially about notifications. It also crashes easier than KitKat, but that's to be expected.
[Nexus 5 General] rahsaanabdul:
Notifications have been perfect for me and 0 crashes. I guess it's true that no 2 phones are alike. I'll take this preview build over Kit Kat any day. It just has way too much going for it.

Sent from my Nexus 5/Android L
[Nexus 5 General] DoesntPostAThing:
Definitely, I love using the preview. The glitches aren't really in your face or anything, they're just small things that might be accidentally triggered. I also had systemUI restart on me a few times during the past few days. Perhaps I have too many things loaded in recent apps? Who knows, but still shouldn't happen once it's officially released.
[Nexus 5 General] 1ManWolfePack:
^I agree with every one of you above me.

Been running since day one as well. First few days were a slight train wreck, then I just realized L doesn't really care much for root (my opinion) so I quit messing with system files. I'm still rooted with TWRP, but I only mess with busybox, root explorer and AdAway. After I solved the loops those gave me, I haven't had a single crash or hiccup.

Daily driver? For me - YES. I love L. She's my new girl...

---------- Post added at 01:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 AM ----------

I never had SystemUI crash, just the loop on the lock screen.

What root apps do you have installed, if any?
[Nexus 5 General] DoesntPostAThing:
Really, not much, at least nothing that is running. I do push my phone quite hard at times though, so that could be why. Come to think of it, I was trying to debug a memory leak yesterday when all the crashes happened so that may have something to do with it. Good news: memory leak fixed :good:

But yeah, I've mostly realized that L has it's quirks after a few days, and I avoid pushing it to do what I know it doesn't want to do, and everything's all fine.

[Nexus 5 General] zequav:
After I flashed the rom and saw it was stable I decided to do some spring cleaning and remove a bunch of cruft (e.g. Wallet outside USA :rolleyes:) that came with it.

Among the many things in /system suspicious to be cruft I found:

app/SprintHiddenMenu.apk
app/OmaDmclient.apk
app/TimeService.apk
app/UpdateSetting.apk
app/qcrilmsgtunnel.apk
app/shutdownlistener.apk
etc/qcril.db
etc/permissions/qcrilhook.xml
framework/qcrilhook.jar

which by their names are proprietary qualcomm and lg blobs (data/com.lge.* and data/com.qualcomm.*). Since they were not present in CM 11 I thought "hey, if KK works without them, maybe L will too" and removed them, even with their scary *ril* names.

Indeed, after removing them I haven't noticed any problem. Calls work, data (HSDPA+) works, wifi and bluetooth work... Does anybody know what they are/do?
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
Does no one else find the extra status bar pull down bit for the toggles really annoying?
[Nexus 5 General] NaterTots:
You're not on KK anymore.

Just because it worked there doesn't mean it'll work on L. ;)

If you set it back to the stock setting does it work?

And I still can't understand why there has to be user picture in it since it's quite rare to use the same device with multiple users.
[Nexus 5 General] whitedragonz83:
I looked around, but couldn't find a clear answer.

If I were to fastboot flash all except userdata, will it work? Seems some people reported issues due to a change in the /sdcard/ location.

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] chambers7867:
Sorry man.. The only way to get a good install is to ./flashall with a complete user data wipe. There are still a lot of bugs so if you planning on using it as a daily driver i would advise against it.
[Nexus 5 General] pepdavies:
Really annoying. As there are lock screen notifications, I would love the option of having the quick settings on the first pull, then notifications on the second. Yes I know, it's a preview, I don't have to use it etc etc

[Nexus 5 General] ss4rob:
I use NFC a fair amount and didn't want to turn it off, but because the NFC Service kept causing wake locks, I decided to uncheck the box, which as you noticed, didn't actually worked, until I rebooted, and then it was unticked properly. As such, my battery life has been ~MUCH~ better - maybe better than KitKat. I don't know what happens when the NFC service tanks - it wasn't being used, it just decided to keep the system awake. Development release. :)

[Nexus 5 General] Sharpie24l:
I use lucky patcher every now and then to check and see if paid features work correctly and are useful enough to justify the cost. If it is justifiable then I remove it all and get the paid version. If it isn't then I revert to the free version. That's fair game in my opinion. (You don't even have to believe that I don't cheat devs, but I don't they work to hard for that). If he's doing that I'm cool with it if he's just using it to get free paid apps then boo him! I hope his battery swells up. :D
[Nexus 5 General] 1ManWolfePack:
This isn't your call to make, also - apps have a refund policy.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharpie24l:
And honestly you aren't wrong at all. Personally I have never used a paid app I got for free for more than 10 minutes. I know it doesn't exactly make it right but I pay for any app that I want that works.

Bad analogy time but (in my opinion everyone has one and I said BAD analogy) its like playing with a display model before buying it. You make sure it works for you then pay for it and take it home. I don't feel I'm hurting anyone.
[Nexus 5 General] JerseyPaint:
Never even thought of doing so. Just manually updated my APN settings in hangouts and everything seems to download. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] Travisimo:
Yes, I swiped up to bring up the pin unlock. I have the pin unlock turned off right now and have obviously not had any more problems! :D I might have to try it again and just stick with the default wallpaper and see what happens. It got really annoying either having to unlock multiple times in a row or doing a reboot to fix this problem.
[Nexus 5 General] RoadHazard:
It has not always been two steps. Ever since quick settings were introduced you have been able to get to them directly by swiping down with two fingers. Now you're forced to do two swipes (or a swipe and a tap). No idea why they would remove the faster option. Even if most people don't know about it it surely can't hurt to have it there as an option.

[Nexus 5 General] adiliyo:
hangouts is flaky with mms on L on the best of days.

best (and pretty much only) solution right now is to use a 3rd party app and it will only work when not on wifi.

chomp and textra both have a setting (tmo wifi fix or something) where it will auto turn on/off wifi when sending/receiving mms.
[Nexus 5 General] JerseyPaint:
Oh, I'm definitely aware of the messaging apps that are said to have working MMS. I just wanted to give a clear report of how I found hangouts to be working for those that are wondering. I'm hoping the updated L that appeared and disappeared will clear this whole mess up. Google has been pushing hangouts pretty hard and its a shame they didn't iron out this bug early, preview or not.
[Nexus 5 General] dr.eXntriK:
Yup! Its the same with many other un-updated/supported root apps. Apparently, the procedure for the apps to call SuperSu has changed in Android L. So app developers have been requested to update their apps with this new stuff!

Most of the have updated but some of them are still working on experimental builds (Titanium Backup for example). It will take some time befor they release stable versions. So sit back and wait for devs to do their work! :D

A couple of small things annoy me;

- Music shortcuts are no longer available on the new lockscreen (with pattern lock)

- Pattern lock is not first in priority so you have to swipe to get to the pattern which is a bit strange

- No battery information (percentage) readily available in the new notifications. Would've been handy having the estimated time left in there instead of buried away in the battery stats.

Its not just you..but I just wonder..why so much fuss about MMS?? Who uses MMS these days anyways?? Is it just me or no one in India ever used MMS to a large extent..(Guess it also has to do with pricing..In India at least one MMS costs 5x the costliest SMS that you can send to any person..so it never really took off) These days at least there are tons of apps which help send messages/images/videos/or any other form of multimedia!! Give the MMS not working thingy a break!

For heavens sake its a Developer Preview..most things work great..a few things don't..You have absolutely got to love the material design, get a great preview sneek peek into the Android's future and then choose to use it as a daily driver or not!

I am absolutely comfortable using it as a daily driver cuz most of the apps I use are working..(FB as someone said in a post in the last 30 pages somewhere you can manage by using chrome..)

Twitter now works perfectly fine!

ALmost all Google services work perfectly fine..its only a few third party apps..which again is understandable and the whole point Google released the Dev preview in the 1st place! So that the devs can sort out most of the things well in advance for the holiday release!

No offence to anyone here but just thought the repeated discussions on MMS is totally futile!

Use email. Much better quality. And the only person that sends me an MMS is my wife and it gets kinda of old. I get pictures of kittens and purses and shoes. ........do you like these? Now she can't kuz I tell her I can't get pics with this ROM. He he he. And not only MMS but all the bugs are just being repeated over and over. 99% of the issues can not be fixed. No Devs have the source to work on. It's a preview.....run it .....enjoy it .....and shut up about it or report it to google .....and if I offended anyone, get over it.
[Nexus 5 General] adiliyo:
futile to you, but it's an actual bug and for some people it's important. as many times as people like you have complained about not needing it, others have shown how it's useful to them, and i have yet to see a lot of posts about people having a hissy fit or complaining that mms doesn't work, it's been a majority of constructive troubleshooting and people giving partial solutions on how to get it to work.

also, if you were a developer of a messaging app, then MMS not working correctly can be an issue when it comes to developing and testing for L when it is released.

what i'm tired of is people posting opinions of what they do and don't like about L

the MMS issue has run its course however (in this build) as the solution (as good/bad as it is) has been found and i'm sure google knows of the issue by now. (personally i feel as the merging of voice and hangouts which seems all the more likely to happen with the voice merging setting found in the debug section of hangouts, is to blame since voice cannot do MMS natively and the early build likely hasn't had all that sorted yet)

can we just move on from the whole MMS thing now? :)

[Nexus 5 General] adiliyo:
ya, i try to use facebook whenever possible because i hate group MMS, but that's how iphones do group messages so sometimes i don't have a choice in the matter and that is primarily why mms is important to me, but i am in no way complaining that it doesn't work.

[Nexus 5 General] adiliyo:
group works fine on data and using a 3rd party app, just like normal mms.

the only issue i have with facebook is the transparent background to the comment overlay, which is more of an app issue regarding the way things are drawn and the framework, so it's no big deal.

it will crash every so often too, but again, not a big deal.

what's interesting is the fb messenger app did it too before but after a couple updates, it works fine now.
