[Nexus 5 General] umbc1205:
Do you mean device management? I checked that and only had 5 devices out of 10 assigned. I removed all of them and reestablished with my phone and still no dice.

I am going to keep using it for a couple of days anyway beings I have my chromebook with me 95% of the time anyway and can use that when needed for tunes.

All and all I am still really digging L. I really do like the look and feel of everything and am supper impressed with the new lock screen stuff.

****Edit**********

So I got to work today and connected to my wifi here at work, and boom google play started working. Maybe I just had a wifi issue at home, I was not aware of. Thanks everyone:)

It is a preview. Nothing is guaranteed to work. If you are worried about missing messages, being unable to talk on the phone, random reboots, etc, then don't install this on your phone.

[Nexus 5 General] ck.chunkeat:
Please read the previous posts. It is expected to take some time to boot because ART is compiling all your apps.
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
This happens whenever you flash a factory image. It is normal.

Things I like about L:

Almost everything

Things I don't like about L:

Long press on pulldown toggles should open it

When swiping the pop up hint bg is undersized off and ugly.

When pressing the dialer button through all buttons a few don't line up.

No clear all notifications or recents

Edit: forgot how annoyed I've been unlocking into contacts/dialer everytime. I must swipe unlock different than most people.

Haven't experienced any bugs really. Except after camera for a bit the app stops responding. Quick reboot fixes it though. All in all if this is just a preview then the release is going to be crazy good. ;)
[Nexus 5 General] CrazyPeter:
Hi is there a way to update to L release and keep data and root?
[Nexus 5 General] TheAntagonist:
If I'm not misquoting, I believe towelroot works straight from your phone even with Android L.
[Nexus 5 General] SilkyJohnson:
You are correct.

Then you could use Flashify to flash TWRP. I actually used towelroot on L now that I think about it...

Last night I tried to flash the lpv81c images over the previous L preview. I wanted to start fresh with everything erased. However, after everything was flashed, all my data and apps were still installed. How can I go about flashing the images so everything is erased?

I went into bootloader and did the flash-all.bat to install the images.

Hi guys, does someone know where i can find an "anykernel" for the LPV please ?? (sorry if someone already ask :/ )

[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
and how can one say if the google image is updated or not? unless flashing...

once the C was flashed i forgot what name the file had exactly.

and i thought the news was fresher than the other sources.
[Nexus 5 General] JahSam:
Thx dude this is an awsome kernel but it's not an anykernel version -- or i didn't see it ?-- , this kernel have a modified boot & i can't (don't want) to use it with the [L][5.0] Android Lpv Dev for N5 Enhanced [b5.9 Breadcrumbs and Bunnies]... this version offers a permissive SELinux which allow a full root (for example : i can give root access to Greenify or use Synapse :highfive:)
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
[Tip for L preview] (you may know about this already) ..

As we know there is no longer long press to toggle and single tap to open settings ..

But instead you have to tap the name or label of the toggle to go directly into that particular setting ..

(Only for the wifi and Bluetooth settings)

Flashed Android L

So I've been using Android L for the past 3 days and would like to go back to PA. Do I need to downgrade to stock 4.4.4 and then root and then flash PA? Or is their a way to do it directly?
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
Did you make any changes to the flash-all script? Because out of the box it is written to completely wipe your phone... Where did you get the 81 image from? Directly from the Google servers or a third party site?

As long as you're doing a completely clean flash of PA, you should just be able to straight flash it over... If PA normally just dirty flashes, then you should install the factory 4.4 image via the flash-all script included with the Google image tarball
[Nexus 5 General] jblazea50:
No changes to flash-all script (still had that -w when I checked it afterwards). It was downloaded directly from google servers. I was surprised it didn't wipe the phone clean. Will try again later. Only reason I want to get a fresh install is because the battery has been draining way too fast recently.
[Nexus 5 General] paychex:

[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
wow..and if you JUST read what i said..

to find the version WITHOUT FLASHING!!
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
hammerhead-lpv79-preview-ac1d8a8e.tgz

Quite obvious, no?
[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
and where can you find if its the Y or the C update/version? this is what i asked.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
LPV79

LPV81

I believe LPV81 was removed from the page, not sure though.

There is NO difference between the two apart from Fit anyways so I'm not sure why you're so fussed about it.
[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
if you red all the discussion i saw in a blog that there was an update on servers for a new image (i thought it was newer than C). and thats why i was asking.

GOD, 1 000 000 users, 1 000 000 answers :)))
[Nexus 5 General] Wakamatsu:
How anyone was able to find the newer L preview in the first place is beyond me.

https://developers.google.com/fit/preview#flash_your_nexus_5_or_nexus_7
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Hardly newer, just one extra thing added and nothing else. Lol.
[Nexus 5 General] paychex:
Sure sounded to me like you flashed it and somehow forgot what you flashed and don't know how to check it. So then it brings me back to my original response. Google. Specifically Google developers

---------- Post added at 05:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:50 AM ----------

And again. If Google isn't showing an updated system image it doesn't exist. One answer. One kid who wants another answer
[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
i did not forgot what i flashed. "C". but I forgot how the file downloaded was exactly named (that "preview-ac1d8a8e.tgz"). and when i looked in the google developers servers it did not show which version is the latest ( C or..another one). the phone showed C, but the site did not show C. it did show "preview-ac1d8a8e.tgz".

and i red that there is a newer version than C, but i was unable to find out if its true without flashing the file currently on google servers.

ok, if i still dont make any sense, forget it :)
[Nexus 5 General] lifehijack:
Just a quick one - How do I put the phone on silent mode without vibration?

I cant seem to find the option to disable vibration completely. It works when I enable "Turn off notification" but it defeats the purpose.

Pressing the Vol down button only puts the phone in silent mode with vibration.

Any ideas?

Understood. I know about the extra APN deletion deal but I want to know if it fixed the WiFi sending/receiving for these people also or if it just fixed it for Mobile Data. Like you said though, not enough feedback and/or not detailed enough.

I believe there was some evidence pointing to Lemon Meringue Pie. Chromium Bug Tracker had a phone running "LMP-DevKeys" as the OS.
[Nexus 5 General] pgptheoriginal:
Just noticed a cool feature in the L preview which I didn't expect. After locking the screen orientation, the camera UI is (obviously) in portrait mode even holding the phone in landscape, but the accelerometer is still active, and the shot actually follows the orientation of the device.

I don't know if this was true in the previous releases, but that was the only thing that kept me from locking the screen orientation.

I think it'll be an obvious thing for many, but I wanted to share my little" discovery" :)
[Nexus 5 General] AvivEliyahu:
i loved using android L preview but the lack of options to "mod" it because its still a preview and there arent much modes made me give up. also some of my fav games didnt work and it annoyed (anyone knows if modern combat 5 works on that version?) so idk if ill wait to full release or will flash it again :D

[Nexus 5 General] chaosdefinesorder:
I don't understand? Even with auto-rotate turned on, I barely see any difference in the Camera UI between portrait and landscape beyond the shutter icon rotating?

What is supposed to be changing (or not, more specifically) for you?

I mean, sure the UI does fix in place, but why is this a benefit?
[Nexus 5 General] Forceward:
very ugly
[Nexus 5 General] TheArc:
Lol wut
[Nexus 5 General] pgptheoriginal:
The point is not the UI, but the orientation of the actual camera shot: when the orientation of the screen is fixed in portrait mode and you use the camera in landscape, you'd expect that the picture you take will be inconveniently rotated when you see it in the gallery holding the phone in portrait mode; the photo has the right orientation instead.
[Nexus 5 General] chaosdefinesorder:
OK, I'm with you now; the EXIF orientation recorded metadata is independent of the Android UI orientation?:good:

Gotta say I would have expected that to be the case anyway, so good to know it has been "set correctly" already without needing to encounter it so far... ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Don't know what you guys are talking about.. Sometimes I take an image in portrait and it ends up landscape (and vice versa) :silly:

Technically speaking, yes :D

I never encountered issues about the orientation of the photos, until now.
[Nexus 5 General] Alexandroid99:
Did you gus get the news about multi user support on phones? I'm surprised that it didn't show up on the xda portal. I even suggested this as content for the portal, but nothing happened. The idea of this was mine, I started the issue on the bug tracker. Do you know that case when your friend want to use your phone but you don't want him to go through your private pics or something? (Being friends sure doesn't have to mean he/she is not up for some tricks and jokes :D) Now you can create a seperate account for your friend and lock your private, secret stuff away before he/she can steal that ugly picture of you or even worse :D. Or you can seperate private things from your business account. Or prevent that your kids do something bad when they are bored of playing Candy Crush. The scenarios are endless, are you going to use it? How are you going to use it?
