Charging problem

Since installing l preview i can only charge my nexus 5 when its switched off or if i plug the charger in and restarting the phone, also my pc does not allow me to access my phone via usb

What i want to do is go back to 4.4.4 stock, but obviously cant do this via a pc, is there another way to do this?

If you use that it'll flash all 5 .img files including userdata.img lol.. you take boot.img cache.img, system.img out of that zip and flash them individually. Try factory reset/clear caches

No idea if App Ops is accessible at all, we'll have to see. If you have root access I suggest using Greenify to hibernate both Google+ and Photos, that should stop any battery drain.

Boot into the stock recovery and clear cache and then factory reset. That should get your sdcard back. It will wipe it though

There can't really be a "fix", more like a workaround. We don't have any source. :p You're lucky MMS even works at all for you since it doesn't for many others. And I agree, it's more stable than some of us expected (and those who the Dev preview isn't for, expected it to be 100% stable, lol).

Hi there, guys!

I would like so much to have the new Android L navigation bar on my Galaxy Note 3 (using Temasek's CM11 based ROM). Is it possible flashing any zip file? Or I in fact MUST use an app for that?

I don't want to customize, I just want the original Android L navigation bar itself!

Oh noes. Guess there is no other way around that.:(

Let's see if I can adb pull at least.

Edit: I can use MTP from 4.4.4. My sdcard data is in the folder /sdcard/0/. I'm moved it to /sdcard/, seems it works just fine.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the Doctor:
After flashing Android L (which went normally using flash-all.bat), my PC can't recognize the device in fastboot mode, but it recognizes the device fine in Android.

I reinstalled the USB drivers, but no change. I revoked USB debugging authorizations, reconneced & re-authorized my PC then re-entered fastboot mode, but no change. I updated SDK tools through SDK manager but all yield the same result: my PC recognizes it fine in Android, but not fastboot. Obviously it was working fine with 4.4.x since I was able to flash Android L with flash-all.bat from fastboot.

Any ideas why this would be?

Edit:

Sending the command "fastboot reboot bootloader" isn't working from Android either, even though it recognizes the device.

USB debugging is for ADB, has nothing to do with fastboot. ADB and fastboot are two different things. Regarding your edit, fastboot only works in the bootloader and not within recovery/Android with USB debugging. The right way to boot into bootloader while in Android/recovery is "adb reboot bootloader", not fastboot. Seems like you have a little research to do lol.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the Doctor:
Indeed. I only use "adb devices" to verify the USB connection.

Tks.

No, that was a typo after 2 hrs. of trying to get fastboot to work, lol.

So why is it connecting in Android but not fastboot after flashing Android L? That is the main question.

OTA issue

I flashed my device with the L dev preview and the flash was clean

Two questions :

1. Will I be getting an OTA for 5.0 when released.

2. After flashing the L preview, the SuperSU in my phone doesnt work, saying that the SU Binary is not installed. I followed a vid to flash my device and I'm not sure if it is a problem or not and how will I rectify it, if it is.

Thankyou.

Just do as described here: http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=53700335

Ok, I flashed stock rom, went into android, put the kernel.zip and supersu.zip on the sd card, rebooted and flashed TWRP recovery, installed kernel and supersu within TWRP, and now the phone is working and also supersu.

Encryption questions

Hi. I have enabled encryption on my Nexus 5 running the latest Android L preview, and I got some questions.

1) I noticed that if I switch my phone off and then I switch it on again it doesn't ask for any password or gesture. It just boots straight up as if it wasn't encrypted (however it is encrypted, and Settings > Security > Encryption confirms it). Is this normal?

2) My device is encrypted with a pattern, however if I try to enter TWRP recovery, it asks for a password. What do I have to enter?

Thank you

So maybe I should get rid of encryption, if it is not supported by TWRP and it still causes some problems. For me it's okay, I won't lose my data because I did a nandroid backup right before encrypting, but I'm not sure about what to do...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
If you backed your nandroid up to PC, you're good. But also it doesn't back up your sdcard you'll have to connect in mtp and move everything to PC first
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wund3rground:
Okay, so I flashed the L preview from the Google images. All is well, except for for whatever reason I can't flash TWRP in fastboot. The process appears to work (no errors in terminal) but upon reboot into recovery I'm taken to what appears to be stock recovery. However, no combination of key presses will do anything so I had to reboot bootloader by holding down volume+power. I tried flashing TWRP like 5 times via fastboot and it just won't take. Any ideas?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Its nothing to do with the ROM. Maybe something is wrong with your process. Try changing cables / ports...

Are you sure you're not flashing stock recovery?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wund3rground:
I don't think so. I'll double check that I don't have a stock recovery image in my platform tools folder. I'm 99% sure it's not the process or cables, ports, etc. All adb and fastboot commands work as expected. After this debacle I reflashed stock KK images and TWRP via fastboot and that all works as it should.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wund3rground:
Okay. Definitely not flashing stock recovery. Here's the kicker. If I'm in the bootloader, and I flash TWRP via fastboot and reboot into recovery from the bootloader right after TWRP will show up. However, if I reboot to system, then try to reboot into recovery I get the droid with the red triangle, I also get the droid with the red triangle if reboot into recovery from the bootloader after rebooting into system. I'm at a loss here. Again, just flashed fastory KK images, and TWRP, and everything is perfect.

What's in your /system/etc/install-recovery.sh?

Edit... Of your L ROM...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wund3rground:
I'm assuming I will find this info via file explorer while booted into the ROM? Otherwise, you might have lost me, as the "ROM" came from Google so it's all image files, there's no zips to poke around in...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You'd have to boot into the ROM or extract the image on a Linux machine but that's probably a bit much.

Now you have TWRP and KK there are 2 options

1) instead of flash-all.bat of L, just fastboot flash system and boot

Or

2) flash an existing zip from one of the threads here.

I did the latter myself. I'm not sure what's in the stock "install-recovery.sh" but its intention is clear so maybe option 2 is best.

Its also worth noting that flashing SuperSU zip swap a install-recovery.sh - to prevent the reflash of stock recovery and invoke root, so that's food for thought there.

Help with Hotmail

Howdy folks! I cannot set up my hotmail account on the new email app to save my life. I've tried just entering my email and password and that causes it to force close and then FC everytime I tap it until I clear data. I've also tried to set it up manually as an IMAP account. I enter my username, hit manual setup, enter my password, and then use the following settings:

Incoming server settings

Server: imap-mail.outlook.com

Outgoing server settings

Server: smtp-mail.outlook.com / smtp.live.com

Are you saying trusted face doesn't work for you? It works for me. I think you aren't waiting for it to recognize your face before swiping up. When you have it enabled, you look at your phone and pay attention to the center icon at the bottom. When it has an icon of an avatar looking thing, it is trying to find a face. When it finds your face, it will change into a lock icon and you can swipe up to unlock without the lock. I find that sometimes I have to start the process over by turning the screen off and on if it loses my face though.
