Hello, not sure if you were replying to the problem I had posted. However, I do have access to a laptop with ADB and Fastboot, I just didn't have a place to store my stuff because it wasn't mine, and it would take a ridiculous amount of space. After playing around with everything for 4 hours, I'm not sure I can do anything but lose the 9 months of data on my device and just flash the new factory image for L.

hi@all

i searched already for this but i'm not sure if it had to do something with the camera, while there aren't any problems with it.

sometimes when i do a call or receive one, it doesn't matter, and every time when i turn the speaker on during the call, after the screen goes black, it wont go on anymore. the device get really hot, and i have to press the power button for some time, until the device do a restart..

so can somebody confirm that? any solution for this?

my device is only rooted and i use nova launcher.. the device is already fresh installed, with wipe system/data/cache/userdata, but nothing helps.. i tried the new blue-code kernel, but the problem is still there..

thanks

Google Camera Slow Start Up!!

Hello! I'm experiencing a strange error on L.

Google Camera app [2.2 updated] is taking like 5-7 seconds just to open. But if i uninstall the updates then the previous version works fine it opens quickly. Could this be a hardware defect or L related issue?

PS: There is no freezing/Hanging occurring afterwards just lags at start up that's all!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
Probably an app issue. Report the bug to Google. If the older version is fine it's likely a software glitch with the new version. It's the same thing with Hangouts and MMS. MMS works with other SMS apps like Chomp.

On a different note, here are a few tweaks I've done so far:

Uninstall FB - battery boost (use through web)

Disable Location

Install latest GPU drivers

Root

Install ChompSMS and check the option to disable Wi-Fi when doing MMS

Overall it's running great. I'm getting better performance (not benchmarked just look and feel) than KK and battery life. Honestly this is more stable except for apps of course than KK was it feels like to me.

I haven't seen anyone else who has said anything about the Firefox browser on Android L, so:

Is anyone else having an issue with the Firefox browser on Android L? It will not load at all for me. Every time I try to open it, it gives me an error saying "Unfortunately, Firefox has stopped working."

I'm not sure if this is an issue with ART or if it's just Android L in particular.

Is anyone on Sprint getting MMS messages working? I'm on Sprint, I've used Textra, and MMS still doesn't work for me, just like Hangouts doesn't work. So again I ask - if you are on Sprint, do your receive MMS messages with any other app?

Can you elaborate on this Wouldn't this build include the latest GPU drivers? Do you notice a difference in smoothness and battery life? Did you force GPU rendering in developer options?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashutosh1313:
I reverted back to KK4.4.4. Still have that camera bug. So its not Android L issue.

Every other camera app works great except latest google camera. So im inclined to think that it might not be related to hardware. Idk maybe someone knows what is causing google camera to lag.

Guys, I remember back on old ICS days that was possible to flash a ZIP file using Recovery Mode to port all transition animations from ICS to any other rom using Gingerbread.

Is there any possibility of porting the new L beautiful transition animations? Is this a simple trick to get it from the ROM and export it to any other one?

I use Nova Launcher and it's beta already has L animations, but, of course, it's only relayed to home screen transitions from opening am app or returning to home screen itself.

If would be so nice to have all new animations all over the system.

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:

Just a thought, when I flashed the Recovery Zip of Android L I had some issues (even though I wiped from recovery before install) - a day later I did a full install from the official Android Preview (using the .bat file) and the phone has actually been working really well, fast, stable and amazing battery life... That .bat file does do a full wipe of the phone but I think it's necessary to clean everything out when trying L Preview .....it resolved a lot of issues and the new radio works better than the KK version. Also, using HelloSMS with the option to send over data/wifi makes mms work perfectly on AT&T/Rogers.

One thing I haven't found is an app that works to disable startup items - anyone found one yet?

I found an app to use volume rocker to wake called "Power Button to Volume Button" in the PlayStore but when it's installed I don't get deep sleep. Anyone found a way to use volume rocker wake that doesn't mess with deep sleep?

Also, I am getting amazing battery life with Code Blue Kernels latest v.1048 - it also includes volume increasing settings when using TrickMaster...

One issue that I am having is WiFi Hotspot - still can't get it to work on Rogers/AT&T.
