Whole screen. But still never seen this before.
[Nexus 5 General] peeweew:
I'm currently on Stock Rooted LRX21O, and having a bad time with the battery consumption even I have greenify installed.

But on other aspects, this makes a great overhaul

Really looking forward to 5.0.1 or 5.1 release.
[Nexus 5 General] Edge330:
I dont have google play services drain anymore, did google make some update?
[Nexus 5 General] patrick1:

thx for reply
[Nexus 5 General] swiftden:
I love Lollipop, but I have this little bug in Batt Stats. Wifi is always indicated as ON, although it is turned off. Anyone has this? Any solution?
[Nexus 5 General] cirian75:
Getting used to it now

Its OK

Lock screen needs work, the ticker being gone is a bit poor, but starting to like L now.
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
Same here
[Nexus 5 General] yogeshkotadiya:
Very nice, everything is just great google made it simply best.
[Nexus 5 General] TheIgster:
Don't really consider your second point about no silent mode a "bug". This is by design. Use Priority mode. It's the same, but much more configurable.
[Nexus 5 General] jfim88:
Yes i usd it, but is a buggy feature. Have button sounds, WhatsApp sounds etc...

For now using app Nights Keeper
[Nexus 5 General] TheIgster:
I've noticed button sounds when turning the screen off, but that is minor. One sound when you turn the screen off, going to sleep. As for WhatsApp, sounds to me like they need to update so they support how sound modes work in 5.0. Not sure that's Google's fault. I use KIK Messenger and have no issues with sounds in this mode.
[Nexus 5 General] Tidbits:
Going into WiFi advanced settings. Turn off scanning always available.
[Nexus 5 General] rbrenart:
Really miss my lock screen widgets, otherwise everything is better. At least now that I figured out priority mode.
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
Everything I have tried with casting my whole screen has been smooth. Haven't tried YouTube. But why would you cast your whole screen for YouTube? Just cast the old fashioned way.
[Nexus 5 General] swiftden:
Did this too earlier but it's still there. Thanks though.
[Nexus 5 General] The-Awesome:
In case no one has pointed this out yet, this is available. It's called Hangouts.

It does exactly what you want, as long as you have your contacts set up properly.

My battery life has been great on Lollipop. Everyone complaining about battery life after only 1 day probably doesn't realise how much battery they used downloading and installing all their apps, or just how much extra they were using their phone to check out new features.

I'm dissappointed they removed the CRT flash lockscreen animation. I believe it was called Electron Beam.

The new Google Keyboard also doesn't work quite how I want it to. When you're typing a word it only shows potential corrections above the keyboard, so if you spell the word you want correctly, then it doesn't appear in the list. This is annoying when it is the last word in a sentence where I want to select it out of the list and then add punctuation. Now I can just press space and then the punctuation appears (and upon being used, deletes the space), but I don't find that very intuitive. Also, right now it's refusing to correct any of this at all.

I also chaanged my Chrome tabs back to being in chrome only, it's more useful that way. The new switcher is pretty but not as functional for me.
[Nexus 5 General] TheIgster:
I'm glad someone else brought this up. Thought I was going crazy. I've been using Swiftkey but thought I would give the defaut Google KB a try. I started to really like it and then when I updated to 5.0 it started doing exactly what you say and started to drive me crazy. I hate how it doesn't have the word you want as the middle option with corrections on either side. I never know if I'm going to get the right word this way when I press the spacebar. Decided to go back to Swiftkey because of this.
[Nexus 5 General] marinierb:
Me too... :crying:
[Nexus 5 General] pfmiller:
I'm surprised no one else had mentioned this too! My biggest complaint is that the word it thinks your typing is only shown in the text and not right over the keyboard. Since the keyboard is where my eyes are looking while typing it slows things down a lot to have to keep looking back and firth to make sure I have the right word. My accuracy while typing on this new keyboard has absolutely plummeted.
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
I'm surprised that many people rely on the suggestions in the keyboard. I use the gesture typing and never really even look at the suggestions the keyboard displays. If I misspell something, I usually go back and fix it afterwards using the suggestions
[Nexus 5 General] TheIgster:
I use gesture as well, but find it easier to watch what is being suggested and put into place as I go along. The way the new Google KB operates makes this a pain in the butt.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
The word you've swiped floats above your finger, so I guess they decided not to duplicate
[Nexus 5 General] TheIgster:
Never really watched for that. I like the way Swiftkey does it and the way Google KB used to. I'll stick with Swiftkey I guess.
[Nexus 5 General] pfmiller:
The floating word is a moving target, so I don't really use it. The static words above the keyboard are much easier to keep an eye on. In fact, I don't even notice it's there. I'll try using that though, maybe it will improve my typing experience.
[Nexus 5 General] jutezak:
Not really Lollipop... but the new Agenda app is hopeless in my opinion. No overview of the whole day in week view (which is actually only 5 days), text so big that is wraps in an ugly way. Vertically I get only 6 hours (portrait) or 5 (landscape). Which means scrolling.

In the play store it looks better - screenshots from a tablet perhaps? On the phone I find it awful.
[Nexus 5 General] frigidazzi:
I get the memory leak or redraw issue whatever it is a lot more often than every 24 hours. Pretty much every time I get in my car. I am guessing that's because I use waze and Google navigation (i like Google maps nav better, but want the alerts of waze) Google music ect. Makes the phone so slow!!
[Nexus 5 General] peachpuff:
I just reinstalled swiftkey and noticed it gets disabled after 5-10 minutes and the google keyboard is the default again, i changed it and the same thing happens in a few minutes. Anyone else with this issue?
[Nexus 5 General] towelboy:
1hr30 sot... Battery blows.
[Nexus 5 General] towelboy:
I like the battery saver feature but I hate the orange theme when it turns on, does anyone know how to turn that off?
[Nexus 5 General] linzoid:
Sorry to be a noob, but . . . when I try this command using the terminal emulator on my N5, it says

/system/bin/content[4]: app_process: Permission denied. I've left out the 'adb shell' part of the command and I've even tried using the 'mount read/write' command beforehand.

Obviously, I'm doing something wrong . . any help?
[Nexus 5 General] Dunge2:
I don't like the plain white background behind the programs icons but other than that it look and feel great.

---------- Post added at 08:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 AM ----------

My friend encountered this problem https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79257 . He can't charge the phone while it is on or else it just crash loop. I set mine to english so I don't have any trouble. Quite a big issue if you ask me.
[Nexus 5 General] xdatastic:
You need to use the Android SDK to execute the command from your computer.

Probably easiest to just use the 'battery percent enabler' app in the play store.
[Nexus 5 General] Ga101698:
I took the ota a few days ago and have had no problems. My favorite version of Android to date. Battery life is good, just slightly less than what I had with PA. First time I have ever ran straight stock unrooted and have been satisfied.
[Nexus 5 General] linzoid:
Thanks for the advice re the SDK, I'll try that. As for the battery percent apps on Playstore . . they use white text on a white background (the battery icon itself) - how stupid is that? Virtually useless.
[Nexus 5 General] xdatastic:
Android 5/Lollipop fixed the white issue. The app does the same thing as the command.
[Nexus 5 General] linzoid:
OK . . I'll look again. Thanks for the help.
[Nexus 5 General] Pastorelli's:
Android 5.0 is very good and responsive, i am happy with it

Multitasker is a bit of a mess really. There is lots of stuff i don't mind showing up in there.
[Nexus 5 General] start2finish:
lollipop yak

I have had a few lollipop roms on my nexus 5 this week and in all honesty what a big disappointment. i have been waiting a wile to use it as normally its better quicker and faster, but this time not the case I must have had every bug that's going so im now back to 4.4.4 and my device is working as it should once more

I must be unlucky but that aside I just don't like any of it nasty colours, fonts, spacing and killer battery drain hopefully some one will bring a rom out I like and that works till then I will stick with 4.4.4

let me know what you think and any one know of a rom that has lollipop build but with kitkak looks with good battery for me to try
[Nexus 5 General] Claghorn:
I can't tell you how much I hate and despise all the black text on painfully bright white backgrounds. In the launcher, in the settings app, everywhere I go, my eyes hurt and the text is much, much, harder to read being washed out by all the white. The new material design look is a total failure as far as I'm concerned. Paper may be white in the real world, but paper doesn't glow - stick to black text on white background for e-paper devices, give me back my black backgrounds on phones and tablets.

Aside from style, I'm pretty sure my battery is worse now. I don't have it charging overnight, and when I get up in the morning, the percentage of battery remaining is always smaller than it ever was before lollipop.
[Nexus 5 General] Spectrys:
The overall look and feel is a wonderful refresh for android. Not to mention my battery life has doubled.
[Nexus 5 General] snappycg1996:
Installed the factory image day one and reinstalled apps with Titanium after I backed everything up. Still, I have complaints. Battery sucks, some days it is KK standards but a lot, 2-2.5 SOT is my norm, whereas 3-3.5 was. What happened to Project Volta? I can't believe battery isn't ant better still after all the charge cycles. And yes, the battery was awful on day 1 and it improved but not by much. As others have pointed out there is a huge memory leak issue. Launcher redraws and when this happens, background apps restart when I open them. So I must reboot. Mutlitasking feels slower as well as other things, sometimes I need to triple click a window to switch back. I like the colors and MD though.

Overall I like the update but this is just some things which in my opinion are pretty big. I honestly cannot believe Lollipop has these problems and we are on Nexus hardware... What happened.

PS: I wish XDA had autocorrect typing on Chrome for the site. But I do like the orange nav bar for Chrome haha. But the colored bavbar for chrome in general looks... Tacky... Idk maybe it's just me.
[Nexus 5 General] jssingh:
I'll agree with everything you have said here. Everything feels so damn slow. Something as basic as opening the dialer and making a call is riddled with lags, forget about other apps including Google app apps. Feels rushed and immature. Feels like Google did the same thing that Apple did with ios 7. Yeah the colors are bright and nice (for some), but I'll take speed over beauty anyday, especially for a smartphone with (still) excellent specs.
[Nexus 5 General] Blackbox421:
I dont know.. Lollipop looks like a bad costum rom with many bugs. Overall there are too many buggs, and the phone slows down. If you click on one App, it needs like 5 sec to open. On KitKat it was simply perfect.

If I could choose: KitKat > Lollipop atm
[Nexus 5 General] mattallica76:
I'm pretty satisfied as well. I side loaded the OTA a few days ago, so I'm stock/unrooted right now. Battery life is slightly improved over stock Kit Kat. I've experienced no lag whatsoever. My only complaint is the lock screen. I don't like having 2 steps to unlock my phone.
[Nexus 5 General] oskarvlc:
The battery has improved in Lollipop for me, but the phone lags a lot more compared to kk. I think ram management got worse with the update.
[Nexus 5 General] AndroidPurity:
I really really like the new version of Android. Lollipop has finally giving Android some color. The black and white in settings and notification shade and quick toggles had always been a very depressing look to me. So I am glad they made the back grounds white or grey now so that is not so dark. I also like the teal/green high lights. Green is one of my favorite colors, if not my favorite. So I personally like the color choices. I also like the animations and the recent apps card animation is pretty cool. Although the one thing I do not like that I am sure most can agree with is there are loads of bugs/glitches that need to be ironed out by Google. I have faith they will iron them out with time. I think once they do it will be a really well rounded operating system.
[Nexus 5 General] borchgrevink:
Little off topic, but any suggestions for a material or otherwise slock looking car mode/launcher?
[Nexus 5 General] DSF:
My thoughts after using Lollipop for about a week.

- I've installed the ota zip via adb

- wiped cache via recovery (also before via Settings > Storage > click on cache)

Findings

much improved UI with elegant white/bright backgrounds instead black ones. Though it would still be better if they use a translucent background for folders and app drawer

Gallery ditched for the slower Photos app

some apps starts slower (eg: the Phone dialer, tested side-by-side with another nexus 5 on kitkat)

the scrolling performance seems to be improved in Lollipop, but other than this not the promised performance, there is lag there and there. For eg: in Google play music, select My library, a transition lag occurs)

chrome tabs in recent apps is kinda nice, firstly I find it was a preety bad idea but now I like it. Also the apps list is not cleared upon reboot

Data usage: you can't see anymore how much traffic you've made in let's say 1-2 days (we don't have the interval grabber anymore !!)

Email is replaced with Gmail.. bye unified inbox.

still no plug&play OTG support for USB drives. You have to root or use ES Explorer if you want to access a USB flash stick

battery life seems worse when using the phone. I get about 30mins less ScreenOnTime.. Last time I've got about 3h50min of SOT. Mostly browsing via Chrome.

where is the new material design Google Play Music (the one demoed here** or see video below)?

still missing profiles (silent, normal, etc)

heads-up notification are intrusive, i much prefer the pre-Lollipop ones (notification ticker). Also, no option to disable/enable per app. Gmail doesn't show any, same for couple of other apps. If you think the same, please star https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79393

huge memory leeks, apps are taken out of RAM so much faster, the processes keep restarting (as seen in Settings > Apps > In use). After couple of hours of using the phone (browsing with chrome, facebook, etc) the System eats the memory and doesn't free it so apps reloads so often, even the Launcher.. I go back to launcher.. reload, go back to the app.. reload. It happens within couple of hours.. I had to restart the phone daily to be able to get some decent multitasking .. Chrome is a resource hungry app.

Please star this issue:

You can go to app info via recent apps if you enable "Developer options" .. Just tap and hold the app icon in Recent app view. (if you don't have developer options enabled, go to Settings > About > tap few times Build number).
[Nexus 5 General] mridulrj93:
1. Battery is my biggest complaint. Even the standby drain increased a lot

2. The system is eating up too much memory over time. I can't get out of a single app anymore without the launcher reloading.

3. The new chrome looks fine but I still preferred the old tabs look.

4. The call notification is brilliant.

5. I don't know how but my data usage has jumped immensely since I updated. My phone goes through like 100-200mb a day now. This never happened before.

6. Good design of the UI. Fluidity seems better but the longer the phone runs, the slower is becomes.

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 PM ----------

Also, even with developer options on I can't seem to find app info anywhere.

PS. Sorry this is the first time I'm using the XDA app. Can't find the edit button.
[Nexus 5 General] frigidazzi:
2 questions and annoyances.

1.Is there a way to quickly switch to priority mode when using Bluetooth? I use Bluetooth all the time and I can't switch out on off when connected unless I go to settings and do it the long way. Volume buttons don't trigger it.

2. Is true a way to disable the lock of phone temporarily? Ie don't ask for pin unless phone has been a sleep for 20 minutes? Smart lock is wildly inconsistent for me (I'm more referring to when I'm at the gym for example and I frequent turn on off phone to jot down reps and such). Unfortunately my bt headphones died and haven't find another pair yet that I like (I have a large head and they usually don't stay on well).
[Nexus 5 General] DSF:
In recent apps window, press and hold app icon for few seconds. Notice app ICON and not app screenshot!
[Nexus 5 General] MrKaon:
Memory situation is a serious problem.

Half an hour after reboot available memory is only 600MB in couple of days phone gets very slow have to reboot it in order to bring it back to life.
[Nexus 5 General] DonDizzurp:
At first I thought it looked really stupid. Everything seemed dumbed down and colorful as if it was a kids toy. After using it for a few days, there are some features added that are too good to give up.

On the other hand, I'm hating the lack of features that should have been standard by now.

- exanded/expandable volume control

- clear all recents apps button

- NO BATTERY PERCENTAGE? STILL?

- basic status bar tweaks (remove the user icon, center clock, etc)

- an option to have a reboot menu

- no official Android or Google file manager? Seriously? WTF is up with that

- no built-in option for controlling the notification LED? Lots of devices on the market have an RGB LED, including most Nexus devices. How is this not standard either?

Also, the recent apps and the notification tray could use some work to be more functional.

Other than that, Lollipop is pretty cool. Now I'm just waiting for either Cyanogenmod 12 or for Xposed+GravityBox
[Nexus 5 General] vanisleryan:
Liking it a lot more with Nova launcher Prime.
[Nexus 5 General] siren215:
my google search is crashing every 3 days, any solutions? I have restart the mobile to solve it for now. I always report to google the crash report.
[Nexus 5 General] isulover:
UI looks definitely great,performance and battery haven't improved, nor

got worse. But it's too early to comment on that.

No toggle in quick settings to cycle through sound modes(sound/

silent,vibrate), dafuq Google? I'm certainly missing Xposed.
[Nexus 5 General] #sharath:
You just copy/pasted my post. Dafuq!!?? :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] Der_Kevin:
so, this is my first android device and i can not say anything about KitKat but what is really annoying is this "bug":

if you have 4 or more apps open, go to the multitasking menu and you swipe them away - the only thing that is in the homescreen/launcher for about 2-3 seconds is the white appdrawer circle. then suddenly the rest appears. that also happens with the nova launcher to me, there you just see the background image and after 2 seconds the icons just came out.

its not happening always. i would like to capture it on video and send it to google but it somehow just appears randomly. anyone else seeing this before?

I came from iOS and i really like android so far but compared to my iphone 5 the apps are open up pretty slow and the battery is just horrible compared to what i experienced with my iphone 5. I hope it will get fixed soon. If so, I have no argument against the nexus5 anymore. great device, great os
[Nexus 5 General] xxBrun0xx:
Lollipop is the reason the nexus 5 is still a top tier device. Loving it!
[Nexus 5 General] Mindspin_311:
Anyone else's phone get real laggy any time battery saver mode turns on?
[Nexus 5 General] gamer.11:
yes it should get laggy, its obviously stated in the battery saver menu, you will have performance drops, the cpu is caped off at a lower freq, I believe at 1Ghz(to others:correct me if i am wrong). So you will face lags
[Nexus 5 General] Mindspin_311:
Yes, I understand that. But, its clunky, not smooth at all. I feel that they can reduce performance but still keep operation smooth.
[Nexus 5 General] gamer.11:
the animations are supposed to be running at 60fps, I honestly don't know any way to sustain that much graphic rendering on FHD at 1Ghz, You will loose frame rates or not feel smooth, One other option turn off all animations in the developer menu,(I wish that could happen automatically)
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Battery Saver mode does actually disable all animations. Coupled with the 960Mhz max clock speed that makes everything feel like it has a 1 or 2 second delay.
[Nexus 5 General] marinierb:
I can't zoom on images in Google search anymore!
[Nexus 5 General] jarhead565:
Not having a "Clear All" button for the recents panel is my biggest gripe. That's something I can live with.

The battery life is great, especially with the ElementalX kernel. Almost 5 hours SOT!

It will take one hell of a custom ROM to make me switch from stock Lollipop.

I'm having errors with all the google apps including google now. It keeps on saying either sign in error or no connection even when I know my data is on.
[Nexus 5 General] Falconite:
[ASK]

Is there anyone who getting a problem cant connect to the internet through cellular data ? (Telephone,SMS,WiFi work like normal)

Theres like a warning on my signal bars.

I already tried so many things, but nothing works.

Im using normally Lollipop LRX21O, without any modifications.

and i flashed to Lollipop with Wugfresh Kit.

thankss
[Nexus 5 General] DonDizzurp:
I feel the same way.

I remember back with the older androids, development used to be HUGE. So much advancement would come from the community. These days it's almost as if there is no need to mod anything. It's nearly perfect from factory.

I would still like GravityBox since Lollipop is still missing a few key features.
[Nexus 5 General] Laurentius26:
With the 'Clear All button for the recent panels' you mean the recent notifications or am I misunderstanding?

Anyway if that's it swipe down the notification bar of your homescreen and you will see 3 small stripes below the right down corner of the curtain you swipe down. tab it and all notifications are gone. Hopefully my English is ok so you understand. :)

Edit; I think you mean all running tasks if you tab the right square, that's something I'm missing too, close all tasks at once.
[Nexus 5 General] :
This is indeed what they are talking about.

I still don't get it though. After all these years on Android people still insist on having it work like Windows where background stuff doesn't show up anywhere (unless you go to check on system processes). In Android clearing recents does nothing useful. Maybe in 5.0 it helps with the recents card clutter but other than that it is at best completely worthless.
