Bump

I'm suffering a similar problem. I use a Prophet running WM5 and I finding that it takes forever to establish a connection (if at all) with shared folders on my PC (running WinXP). Once connected the connection is slow and often drops. I find that this is the case no matter what file browser I use. However, I use a VNC browser (PTvnc) and I find it works quickly and flawlessly allowing me to browse my PC's shared folders without any issues. Obviously PTvnc handles the network better than the standard file browser ... so it's not a hardware issue but rather some sort of software setting. I use a Belkin WIFI router.

Any help greatly appreciated.

[Nexus 5 General] random hero:
I'm short in time right now, so I can't give a full "how to tutorial"

I just want to remind you of a method to unlock the bootloader without wipe.

You are on 4.4.4 Stock, locked bootloader?

use towelroot to root:

http://goo.gl/VaDb77

after that use Nexus Bootloader unlocker tool to unlock without wipe:

http://goo.gl/dfYlgt

after unlock you might want to unroot

Now you should be able to flash the 5.0 factory image step by step manually but without the wipe command

if everything worked fine you should be on lollipop without any data lost

Got to get to work now, won't be able to answer questions in the next hours

Good luck!
[Nexus 5 General] jacksonwheeler@XDA:
Kindly let us know,, whether this works or not?? And can we root Android Lollipop on nexus 5???
[Nexus 5 General] crucialcolin:
I had been wondering if there was a good method to unlock the bootloader on a stock nexus without having to do a full data wipe. To me now seems like a good oportunity to start clean with my stock kitkat nexus while upgrading to lollipop. Its been doing some wierd things of late anyways. So might as well.

I just need to figure out a good foolproof backup method that works with the stock setup before doing so. Something along the lines of a nandroid backup or image was my thinking. But what ive heard that requires root access anyways.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Freshly_Snipes:
I've had my M8 for about 3 months now... As of a month and a half ago I decided that this Sense crap was getting on my nerves. I logged on here only to discover there's almost no discussion, development or anything else going on here. What happened with this device that nobody is doing a 4.4.4 KitKat update or a 5.0 Lollipop AOSP build for it? Did I miss something big that happened here? I don't recall XDA ever being this barron. Especially on an unlockable HTC device.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] fredderf81:
too many devices

it really has more to do with the fact that there are WAAAAY too many android devices out there. i'm all for the success of android and the phone companies that make them. A few years ago when android was finally getting popular, there were a handful of devices, most developers had the same devices: htc incredible, incredible 2, galaxy, galaxy 2, etc. with everyone having the same phone, mass development took place...now there are so many rootable phones out there it is difficult to get all the devs on one device. if you have 20 developers and 4 phones to choose from you get a lot of development on each phone....if you have 20 devs and 20 phones to choose from....well, you get it. best advice is when a new device comes out DO NOT run out and buy it the first minute you can slam the money down on the counter and walk away with it. wait a few days...a week...maybe 2....check back on XDA and see what device starts getting the most development. go buy that phone. =]

on a side note, there is a fair amount of development that goes on in the world wide m8 forum area that this forum stems off of. if you read the posts it is easy to adapt your US m8 to use any of those roms. also, viper rom has a decent amount of constant development as well. i have been using this rom for quite awhile and to be honest...it rocks. if youre not using it give it a try. there are tons of customizations to keep you happy =)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] Theoriginalgiga:
go check out the M8 section http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-m8

After rooting and flashing your recovery you can install pretty much any M8 ROM. Sure the T-mo has WiFi calling but I'm not sure what else it has.

OR you can run your own launcher, get the xposed architecture and start tweaking your stock ROM to do what you want it to do. That was the best method for me as it still runs incredibly stable and I was able to get the majority of the features I wanted like loosing most of sense.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] billydroid:
That's it right there. All gsm M8 development is over on there. Also I few sense roms have wifi calling in them.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] copolii:
So .... I flashed the mantaray-lrx21p image from Nexus Factory Images on my Nexus 10 (16GB Wifi) and now it's stuck in a bootloop.

No problem, I thought, I can get into recovery and fix it, right? Maybe do a wipe and try again? Yeah, not so fast. I get the bootloader screen, but the only option is 'Start' which just boots into the system that bootloops.

That's OK, I'll just use fastboot to wipe it. Nope. Fastboot doesn't detect a device.

I've tried both ADB and fastboot on Mac & Linux. Same issue (neither fastboot nor adb detect a device).

Ideas?

Observations

In case you think I'm just being impatient, it has been doing the boot animation for about 25 minutes now.

It doesn't like to stay off. If I hold the power button for 10 seconds it turns off, but it turns itself back on in about 5 seconds.

If I power it on while holding the volume button closer to the power button, I can get into a half-assed bootloader ... meaning that I can only push the power button again to 'Start'. I cannot cycle through the options with the volume buttons.

During the mentioned (half-assed) bootloader screen, fastboot does not detect a device.

During the boot animation, adb does not detect a device.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
The reason starts the only option is because your only holding volume up when going into fastboot. Hold power and volume up AND DOWN. All at the same time. Trust me I had the same issue but googling helped me find out you gotta hold both buttons

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supermamie:
Same problem here, I'm stuck in a bootloop :(

I can access the bootloader and retry, but I'm still stuck in a bootloop.

I have checked the hash of the zip so I don't know what the problem can be.

Maibe I don't have the very last version of the sdk, that's the only guess I can do, let's try this...

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

I launched a 3rd flash while I downloaded the sdk and this one worked...

Absolutely no idea why.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedarksavant:
I finally got it to boot.

boot into bootloader (hold vol-up+vol-down+power)

choose reboot bootloader

choose shutdown

turn it back on

Seems like it needed to be shut completely off not just rebooted after the flash. Perhaps a reboot maintains weird memory fragments or something? Crazy talk, I know.

Edit: you shouldn't have to wait long to see if it works. Mine jumped to the "Upgrading apps ..." screen straight away.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
The very first boot on my n7 and n10 took about 20 min, after that they have normal boot time, I believe this may have something to do with encryption but never bothered to check as I just did something else while it booted

Side note, the n9 has an initial boot time of at least 5-10 min (can't recall but it took forever it felt like) and this is optimized hardware for the software so no surprise that there is a huge long boot time on the first go

Also I flashed both manually erasing all partitions first through fastboot then flashing each one individually... Just another side note
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bramboturham:
Ive tried to connect to the device in adb, fastboot, I can only get it to adb sideload mode.

Android Lollipop 5.0 Stock Factory Image: "Couldn't add widget" on recent apps list

I just installed the Android Lollipop 5.0 factory image on my Nexus 5, thenrooted, and I'm getting a gray box on top of my recent apps list, I guess where the search bar should be, with the error message "Couldn't add widget". Reboot didn't fix the issue. Anyone have any ideas?

I removed no system apps. But I logged in as guest and the search bar is correctly there. So it must be something corrupted for my user..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jobarr:
I have this too. I didn't remove anything, but I am rooted. Dunno if it had that before rooting.

Edit: This worked fine on the last preview and I don't think I did anything different this time. I did a new install (full wipe), rooted (Cf auto root) and restored stuff with Titanium (no system stuff other than text messages). I DID choose to restore my setting and such from Google this time when I logged in the first time. I think that might be the only difference.

Edit #500: Ok, it is working now. Not sure what I did exactly, but this is everything I tried in order more or less:

Cleared data for Google Search

Set Home back to Google Now Launcher (was Nova)

Reboot into safe mode (press power button, long press on "Power off")

Check if it works - it does

Reboot again

Done (set Home back to Nova, still works).

Maybe safe mode fixed it.

Good. I would suggest to anyone else to just try safe mode. Maybe that is all you need to do.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buhusky:
Safe mode fixed it for me. I don't think some of my widgets carried over correctly from the upgrade from 4.4.4 so I was getting that weird error also on the recent apps screen. Safe mode will wipe them out so you can start over again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SevKempf:
Yeah, clearing google search data fixed it for me, but I reset my home screen and all my widgets are unconfigured, if safe mode works like most people have reported it to do, use that instead.

Clearing Google Search data didn't work for me. But booting into safe mode, then booting normally worked for me.

custom launchers

Looks like this is happening when using a different laucher than the default one. The same happens to me with solo launcher. As the new launcher takes care of the widgets it causes the search bar not to be loaded. Hopefully the devs for the custom launchers find a solution soon.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nonperturbative:
Fixed with safe mode

A safe mode reboot fixed it for me on a fully stock nexus 6 running 5.0 but, except for the evernote shortcut, every widget on every screen was removed (after the safe mode reboot). The fix remains after adding back all the widgets and after a normal reboot. After another safe mode reboot (just to check), all the widgets were gone again (had to add them back again but the fix remained.)

Google search is usually added to Home Screen as a search Widget. Now that the app has been uninstalled, your Launcher keeps a placeholder there so you can restore it after a reboot, restore or upgrade. It's usually placed at the top of the page. If you press and hold near the top of your screen, you can usually delete the placeholder. See if that works. If not, then I'm stumped. Sorry.

I have tried few different 3rd party vpn programs and they all yields the same result, always disconnects after 30 seconds or so, especially when data is being used.

I read that could be Verizon, phone specifics, openvpn, vpn program, and or android kitkat.

I had the issue on stock root rom and Jasmine rom.

Is there any way to fix this?

I'm using the non LG vpn. pptp. my vpn works fine on jasmine 3.0. I know it's not secure but I'm not doing any banking transactions or anything.

perhaps you could give more info as what your connecting with and connecting to, and what protocol.

I just use the default protocols and settings that comes with the app. Lets say Cyberghost vpn app. It would say connected, I open Firefox, go (any websites), in less then 30 secs it would disconnect and would try to reconnect.

Anybody know anything about vpn over 4g?
[Verizon LG G3] bpyazel:
Been an issue for years. It happens on almost every phone with every VPN app when using Verizon 4g. It has something to do with the way data is passed through Verizon 4g. There is some kind of firewall causing it used by Verizon. I read you can fix it by paying Verizon a buttload of cash for a static IP. Other than that, there is no fix.

And it's not like they want you using one anyway since they track what you visit on their network and sell that information.

I decided to try it and could not get it to connect with the VPN service I am using on my desktop.

VPN worked perfectly find for me on my note 2 that was on 4.3.

I know there is an issue with 4.4.2 because my note 2 on 4.4.2 didn't work either.

Anybody have anymore leads? I am aware that the stock VPN may work, but it does not have the options of the VPN apps (I need to configure each individual profile/site).
