Do you have LightFlow installed? I had this exact issue, my phone was working fine on L for a few hours and then suddenly it went into a crazy bootloop that wouldn't stop until I went into Safe Mode. Uninstalling Light Flow did the trick.
[Nexus 5 General] Akki.kumar:
I have light flow from day 1 of android L... It was fine...

BT now I reinstalled my is....

Till now its working fine....

BT if it again start rebooting I'll remove light flow and disable hangout.....
[Nexus 5 General] mzanette:
It's Light Flow. I'm not sure exactly what combination of notifications or settings causes the reboot, but if you uninstall LightFlow you shouldn't have any more reboots. I did it a few days ago and the phone has been fine since uninstalling.

Anyone know a working pie for android L? Both the apks one used soft boot when pressing the back button otherwise they work great.
[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
button savior non root works, but there's no menu button

the root version doesn't work on L, as in back buttons etc do nothing
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
Has anyone gotten a version of Trebuchet or Launcher3 to install on this? Every apk I try just doesn't install. I realize they are probably just not compatible. But I thought I'd ask.

Tethering not working

I reverted back to 4.4.4 because of tethering issues but the 'L' team needs more info on this issue. If you have the time to grab a log on it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Is there an easier way of transferring files from PC Nexus 5 (Android L) by USB? I remember trying this last week but my laptop wouldn't recognize no folder except for the Ringtones.
[Nexus 5 General] Travisimo:
I've had the preview installed from the beginning. For some reason my front facing camera has been acting up the last couple of days and I'm not sure if it's a software or hardware issue. Specifically, all front facing photos are coming out almost completely white (completely overexposed with just barely visible detail). Videos are working fine.

I've tried clearing the camera cache, uninstalling the Google camera updates and reverting back to stock camera, rebooting, and checking all camera settings (no manual exposure problems). I haven't cleared all data from camera app because I didn't know if that would wipe my photos.

Not sure if this is related to L preview or perhaps a hardware issue?
[Nexus 5 General] Damian2013:
My cameras have been flawless with L so far.
[Nexus 5 General] dspcap:
Read the last twenty or so pages and you'll get a feel if this is right for you. There are bugs, it's just a matter if you can live with them. Just remember, this is a preview, there aren't fixes for the bugs yet.

Also, most of the issues are with the apps not being compatible.
[Nexus 5 General] xDazee:
ONe question, there will be update of the developer preview or we will have only the final release?
[Nexus 5 General] thecryof:
Only Google knows at this point.

[Nexus 5 General] mzanette:
Nobody knows but I can't imagine Google will only have this preview until the fall and then release the final version. I'm hoping for a few iterations of the build with more apps that are using Material design and more bug fixes.
[Nexus 5 General] Warrimonk:
I'm having the exact same issue. It only occurs in bright situations with the front facing camera.
[Nexus 5 General] In Desolation:
Am I missing something or are the core Google apps missing the Material Design.
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
They need to be updated by Google. Which will most likely come through the Play Store.
[Nexus 5 General] In Desolation:
I guess I was expecting them to be part of the L preview.
[Nexus 5 General] Rufufu:
There is something I don't understand concerning material design.

Do we knows if it is something "included" in the L version, or in the apps? In other words, will the updated version of gapps will display material design animations on kitkat, or the update will be needed?
[Nexus 5 General] xDazee:
It's worth it for the daily use?
[Nexus 5 General] gamer.11:
Been using this and this is MY impression:

1. A clear all in the recents app(or we will be swiping of for a long time after heavy multi task)

2. Battery saver with optional modes(high med low or things like that, I rate the current implementation as high)
[Nexus 5 General] :
I've been running it since day one of the release. It still astounds me how good it is for a "developer preview".
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
From what I understand, the framework is there already. Everything that the devs need to take advantage of it is in the SDK. So developers just need to update their apps with the updated tools that Google gave them.
[Nexus 5 General] Rufufu:
So it is something in the L framework which is not in KitKat. Very well, thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
I'm not sure how that's going to work. When devs update their apps with animations and whatever else to run on Android L, I dont know how it will run on KitKat. Maybe the app will be the same but the overall feel will be a little different. That will be interesting to find out.
[Nexus 5 General] apogee82:
Good news! The MMS send/receive issue has just been marked as "accepted" by Google:

https://code.google.com/p/android-d...e=Defect&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary
[Nexus 5 General] NaterTots:
Doubt that would happen since there is no reason to clear recent apps. It doesn't provide extra battery life and Android at this point does a better job than you deciding what needs to be running.
[Nexus 5 General] Doktaphex:
Having been writing a few 'L' apps over the past few days, I can tell you that currently the new 'L' animations will only work in the 'L' preview. The SDK is incomplete in it's current state also (to be expected as it is a preview), and there are some funny errors that the compiler seems to ignore to some extent.

It is possible that Google may eventually update the support library to enable the new animations and features in previous versions, however, I am not counting on it.

Overall I am thoroughly enjoying the latest version of Android Studio BETA, and the new features within the 'L' preview SDK.
[Nexus 5 General] donnyp1:
Been my daily for 8 days, but I don't use a lot of apps. What I use either works or has a work around. Its very stable imi.
[Nexus 5 General] adiliyo:
my guess is they will fall back to the animation that is in KK and below, should be easy to test by sideloading an app with the new animations and design onto a KK device and seeing how it reacts?
[Nexus 5 General] Doktaphex:
You cannot currently run any app created for 'L' preview on any other version of Android, even if you set the minimum SDK to a lower level.

Obviously this will change with future SDK updates.
[Nexus 5 General] Wakamatsu:
Imo, the best way to go about using this as a daily driver is to install it and only a few apps you consider essential until you're comfortable with its quirks and glitches. From there, start adding a few apps at a time.

Hats off to anyone who can show that kind of restraint because I can't. :p
[Nexus 5 General] gamer.11:
I'm sure it does but if you have 5 web pages open in chrome and a few other apps opened up it kinda becomes frustrating (at least for me im not saying for everyone) to flip through the 10-15 cards.

I meant at least a clear'er recents menu will be much more easier and faster to flip through but then again this is MY personal input(everyone is entitled to their option right? :D )

Everyone concerned and curious about misc showing up in battery:

Photos and Gallery

I have seen so many people to be so quick to say that Google have scrapped the old gallery app in exchange for photos, which is a part of g+!

Did everybody forget the material-design updated gallery app that Google were so delighted to use in their I/O showcase reals?! Yes, Google have been pushing to move away from "gallery"in favour of the proprietary "photos" app, but we must remember that GOOGLE, as custodians of the AOSP, will have to continue to at least try to push the AOSP "Gallery" app further forward in keeping with the rest of the platform and it's AOSP alternatives.

Obviously El Goog would rather push their own "closed-source" equivalent apps however, the AOSP will continue.

You will need to reinstall the developers preview again. Once it boots up for the first time. Go to settings and preform a Factory Reset.

Once it boots up again after that, you should be fine

[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
"L" formats/stores userdata differently, sometimes causes issues if you don't completely wipe everything while flashing in fastboot. Flashing with a .zip also causes this issue 90% of the time since that isn't the correct way to jump Android versions. Some people have found that their internal storage data was moved, some lost it permanently, some can't read it.

Clean flashing factory images in fastboot wiping everything will make internal storage work properly most of the time (unless you're [MENTION=1811927]simms22[/MENTION] and dirty flashing works but clean flash doesn't lol)
[Nexus 5 General] Doktaphex:
I give up! Why is everyone a total idiot? If you don't know what ADB and FASTBOOT are, Get the hell out of here and don't come back!
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Because everyone is treating it as if it's a consumer release and want to use it as a daily driver because it's "cool" and they want to show off to friends, then don't flash it properly with fastboot because they either don't know how and/or are lazy and can't be bothered to backup internal storage to clean flash, and use a flashable zip to flash it on top.

But really, at that point it means the developer preview isn't for someone like you, and you're just an unknowledgeable standard user and don't really belong on xda-developers.
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
Is allcast as smooth?
[Nexus 5 General] rahsaanabdul:
IMO it can't get any smoother. I download movies on my N5 and watch them on my flat screen on a daily basis using AllCast... No problems with video or sound. You'll need to pay about 3 bucks if I remember correctly. It's well worth it.

Still haven't gotten a diagnosis on this issue. But yes, it does seem to occur only in brighter conditions, as if the shutter/aperture combination does not expose properly. Indoors in low light, the front camera is working fine, but outdoors, it almost completely whites out. I have rarely used the front camera outside, but we were at an amusement park a few days ago when I first discovered the problem and I wasn't sure if it was related to my Android L install or something else. I will say that perhaps 1 in 20 or so photos taken in these same conditions turns out perfectly fine, so either it's a hardware issue with the shutter/aperture or a software glitch of some sort.

Anyone else having overexposure issues with the front camera in bright light (sunlit outdoors, for example)?
