First time I tried the preview I had a little of of my profile in the status bar, I've since changed and now reflashed it again but no PIC, anyone know the cause for this ??

All my G apps are synced fine.
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
Only on lockscreen isn't it?
[Nexus 5 General] BigD18t:
No, it shows on the status bar also, re flashed and setup and it works now, not sure what happened last time.

Anyone got information if we could just update our preview with OTA to final when released ?

Sent from Nexus 5 with XDA Premium
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
AFAIK we have to roll back to 4.4 if we want an OTA for official L .

No chance that they are going to push the OTA directly to the preview .

They may give OTA but chances are too low for that
[Nexus 5 General] Doktaphex:
That is not the "status bar" as you keep calling it. That is the "notification shade"!

Just saying. :D
[Nexus 5 General] limzm:
Did you sync Google+? That's where it gets the picture from.

Guys it has come to my attention that I've found out what Android L will be, as in terms of number of course, though I'm not a 100% correct as this may be changed but take a look at this.

Rounding it will change it to 4.4.5

Anyone else noticed this on the Latest Chrome Beta. This has probably been mentioned but idk
[Nexus 5 General] paychex:
No it won't
[Nexus 5 General] 0.0:
your rounding is a bit off there :p
[Nexus 5 General] TheArc:
I figured XD lmfao

I meant it as in the nearest half a 10 which is 5 lmao which is also me trying to be a smart are.
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
Yup miscellaneous drain tops battery usage...

And using L without root

---------- Post added at 08:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 AM ----------

Lets round it off further...

4.4.49 to 4.4.5 to 4.5 to 5 :p
[Nexus 5 General] Sparx639:
I want to say its going to be 4.5 because they will probably save 5.0 for when android and the official Linux kernel are fully merged together. Assuming that's still going to happen anyway

Latest Chrome beta hints at Android L being version 4.5..

http://www.gsmarena.com/latest_chrome_beta_hints_at_android_l_being_version_45-news-9138.php

Hmmm.. Seems like it's gonna be 4.5 then? :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
Yup mate... Saw that earlier today...

I expected /wanted it to be 5.0 considering the amount of changes involved
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Yeah, my sentiments exactly.. I WANTED it to be 5.0 ^_^
[Nexus 5 General] Doktaphex:
Those numbers are totally meaningless at this stage in the game.

Consider the fact that the build shown at I/O was a newer build than the image released to the public, which would suggest an increment in version to 4.5 and add the fact that several more internal builds have been built and tested and I personally would still bank on the idea of a 5.0 final version, especially considering the amount of change both under the hood and user facing.

At the end of the day who knows, and frankly, who cares. I like the new design direction and that is all that should really matter.

I wonder how does 4.5 or 5.0 affects the usage of Android.

They are just numbers… doesn't really matter which version it is does it?

Besides there are so much speculations and I am glad I am past that in life. It drains, really. I just use what is provided these days.
[Nexus 5 General] jparnell:
Exactly, can't understand why people are getting so hung up on the version number.
[Nexus 5 General] pgptheoriginal:
At the first launch after updating its normal. It can take a minute or so...

Anyway a newer version (15.0.0.0.8) has been released, try with that ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Devhux:
Things were slightly better with that latest build, although sharing photos was still glitchy.

I actually went back to 4.4.4 though. Just a few odds and ends that work a little better for me (totally understandable given this is just a preview build)
[Nexus 5 General] ludo237:
I find the "L" version really smooth but sometimes it crash on certain applications.

I know that it sounds stupid because this is still a developer preview but I want to make a list of applications that crash on my Nexus 5.

Firefox

Firefox Beta

Dropbox

OneDrive

Tasker

Another issue that I found is that when I plug in the device the touch screen go crazy and emulate the touch events when nobody touch it :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] SilkyJohnson:
There is already a thread in general with a list of apps that don't work.

[Nexus 5 General] Damian2013:
Why did you lock your bootloader?
[Nexus 5 General] paychex:
The theory with no basis that an unlocked bootloader causes the miscellaneous drain
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
Yup mate...

Bootloader has nothing to do wid battery (directly ;) )

[Nexus 5 General] SomeGuyDude:
That's because OTA updates are INCREDIBLY carefully designed and that's the very reason it takes so long between when the code is sent to manufacturers and when it they roll out to the devices. You're taking a raw OS image and slapping it on top of yours without any of that work put in and wondering why stuff breaks.

Try again with a wipe and see if it's different.

[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
No idea? What's it say? I literally copied it off my phone and uploaded it
[Nexus 5 General] EPayne123:
Basically there are numerous versions of source code. . . there is what I call the master which is the first number then the secondary which is the second number and just a revision of the master alongside the third number which is just a revision of the secondary revision of the master. It makes sense that people want 5.0 because it bring the most drastic changes to the master source because it is completely rewritten in a way. . . it isn't based mainly off of the previous master.
[Nexus 5 General] ajbiz11:
Based on the preview alone, I would say 4.5 makes sense from a code standpoint

Although the UI has a major overhaul, the system still uses most of the same stuff at a kernel level as 4.4 AOSP

Sent from my m7spr
[Nexus 5 General] EPayne123:
UI overhauls can be changed drastically without changing source. . . for example with custom manufacturer UIs and iOS but the reason it shares a lot of the sake traits is because it looks to be based more on Master Source Code 4

When trying to take a screen shot I keep getting a unable to save storage in use message. Looking around I had seen that people deleted their photos folder and that seemed to work, it wasn't on a nexus 5 so no real way to know if it'll work or not but I thought I'd try my only issue is I tried to go delete it and I can't seem to locate the folder/file anywhere, would anyone know where I'd need to look specifically to find it?

Also not sure if this is related or not but I'd think probably so. When I go to download something say and apk for Dropbox or any where's else on the internet it says "No SD card" and won't download. Any ideas?

Yup, I've seem the over-counted on my L preview.

Seems that it means that your device calculated a 372mAh power used but, after recalculation it appears that your real usage was between 276 - 299mAh.

For the folks that have tried EVERYTHING to get wifi back going...

So all that rooting, flashing this, deleting that, new radio, new modem... all solved by going into safe mode.

Hope this helps.....

Hi everyone.

After several weeks using Android L, I just noticed that "Heads Up" notifications don't appear on my device.

I've got a rooted N5, with no other mods. Is there an option among the other settings that I missed?

Thank you in advance for your help ;)
[Nexus 5 General] bionicjew:
Heads up is baked into android L, app devs have to implement it in their apps for it to work. I'm using the beta of qksms and it works
[Nexus 5 General] pgptheoriginal:
Thank you! I was expecting that every notification could be displayed as a banner, without any need for the devs to implement it.

At least, I expected that google apps natively supported this new feature, but I suppose the updates will come along with the final release of L.
[Nexus 5 General] snives:
Somewhat short version:

The screen works by monitoring tiny power flows across the matrix and is calibrated to ignore noise caused by EMF by having a minimum resistance or capacitance that is considered a touch. The lower your battery is, the higher your charging current is. The higher the current, the higher the noise generated. The more noise generated, the more noise breeches the filter and gets recognized as a touch. This is also why chargers using low quality elements can cause issues as they require more power driven through the wiring just to reach your device. I've not researched it far enough to say for sure, but it is also possible theoretically for a poorly designed transformer/charging circuit combo to lead to an increase in Var which can cause lots of odd reactions although this seems unlikely in a device drawing this low of power (high Var for example can make a perfectly balanced fan vibrate while spinning... fun stuff when dealing with 50' diameter induction fans moving 300k CFM). There could be plenty of other factors as well, but this is what comes to mind off the top of my head beyond the always prevalent issues of conditions being unaccounted for in the hardware or driver design.

Long version:

I'm long winded and you could probably finish getting you EE before I could explain every factor that I can think of that could cause it in any real detail. Being that I'm a BME and not an EE by training I'd probably do a terrible job explaining half of it too since the vast majority of my EE training was by FirstEnergy and self study rather than in a school where I had to make a cogent statement to pass a test :P.
