[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] french-anonymous:
Well, it's not dark UI anymore, and that's really great !

It's also very smooth, and battery life is REALLY better than with Cyanogenmod (I used it a lot today and I still have 48% full. With Cyanogenmod, I had to charge my phone 2 times a day)

But I don't like flat design. I never liked flat design. It's like design, but made by lazy people. This is ugly.

And as LooieENG said, I don't like how they removed gallery. I won't use Photos, this sucks ! I use a third party app for Gallery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samvid1992:
I agree with you. Gallery was awesome. They should have just re-made according to android L instead of removing it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samvid1992:
I also dont like photos and new lock screen is pathetic. If you have apps like battery saver, power toggles, everycover etc, then you can see them in the notification menu and those even appears on the lock screen. Thats really lame.

Since android doesn't show battery percentage, i use third party app now i have to remove that app as well because it appears on lock screen .WTF Google.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4229013:
The new UI is incredible, it's just that battery life sucks hard. I can't wait for compatible kernels to come out so I can get back to the experience I had with KK. Also, it's staggering just how many app developers didn't update their apps to support L yet. Next time I won't buy any of their apps.

Also, I miss GravityBox, and Xposed Framework in general. I do hope it'll support L eventually.

You can hide those notifications by going into Settings -> Sound & notification -> App notifications -> [choose your app] -> and turn on "Block".
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samvid1992:
I can turn off the notification but it also hides the battery indicator. I need battery indicator and stupid Google displays it on the lock screen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttheodorou:
hello guys,

i am experimenting with notification toggles, power toggles and tasker on android L, and i discovered that any of this apps can enable or disable 2g/3g mode or data. has any of you find any workaround to this?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desiking911:
hi all I was thinking tmo is only coming out with the 32GB note edge is it worth waiting for the 64 GB if it ever comes out or go with the 32GB ?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbran:
There will likely never be a 64gb version. It is a non-issue with a card slot. Add a 128gb card and you have a 160gb phone! Plus the Lollipop update will eventually make sd cards act as something very close to system memory.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xile6:
Yea I believe they are only doing the 32gb.

I don't think it's worth it to wait.

As said you can add a 128gb card. Most apps right now will read from the sd card. The phone now will storage normal pictures on the SD card, continuous shots are stored on the phone tho.

But other then that movies, music and files can be on the SD card.

And 5.0 will change that to be more like the old android ways.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ohmer:
Hello,

I just upgraded my N7 to Android 5. Clockworkmod's Superuser is not working. I sideloaded the superuser.zip but the su binary seem wrong:

1|shell@flo:/ $ su
error: only position independent executables (PIE) are supported.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ritchea:
I use TWRP with SuperSU so not sure but maybe the PIE fix will work for you. Search the forum.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] NPOA556:
Same problem with Chainfire's SuperSU

I encountered the same problem with Chainfire's SuperSU today after manually flashing the 5.0 factory image. Any suggestions? I searched the forums for the "PIE fix" and came up empty-handed.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] AarSyl:
Try downloading a custom kernel, then reflashing SuperSU. Of you're not into custom kernels, that's fine. You can still use the options available in AROMA to make it as close to stock as possible
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Warbuff:
Use chain fires autoroot
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ritchea:
Post #13

I needed this in addition to autoroot. It says for N5 but it's what I flashed on N7 FLO.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] NPOA556:
Well, I don't know if the PIE patch was what I needed, since I tried if first without success. But when I tried CF-Auto-Root, that worked. Don't know if it would have worked had I not already tried the PIE patch, but it works now, so I'm happy. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Illux:
I encountered exactly the same error, solved it by using Chainfire Autoroot AFTER reflashing the recovery.

Don´t ask me why, after I flashed Lollipop, my CR was gone (yea, I know how to do that without losing CR...actually O.o....I thought) and CA got stuck. Reflashed CR via Fastboot, ran CA, stuff hs been working excellently for two days now....so I guess it worked.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] DroidKat:
The reason why superuser doesn't work is because of changes in Lollipop. Those changes make you flash a custom kernel/boot image.

CF-Auto-Root works because it flashes a custom boot image.

[Xiaomi Mi 4] YasirQ:
I recently bought Xiaomi mi4, I was having issues installing MIUI v6 version and rooting it, only to find that its a China Unicom 3G version of mi4. The problems I have:

1) It does not have MIUI recovery

2) No menu in updater to load a new ROM. Everytime I try to load a ROM or CWM recovery via the android recovery it gives be an errror: "Error: not a valid OTA package, missing scatter." I have also tried adb but of no avail.

3) and the biggest f***up is its just 1 GB for apps in internal storage. The total is still 16GB but the partition for app is so small.

Is there anyway to unlock the device so that I can install a dev version of MIUI?

Thanks!!
[Xiaomi Mi 4] averaraz:

for "Tap on internal memory 5 times, if it doesn't bring you to a menu it's another sign it is a replica." : nothing happened.

Looks like replica to me :(
[Xiaomi Mi 4] YasirQ:
I tried it but the phone says the package is invalid, so re-downloaded and got the same.... and here is the interesting part when Android Emulator runs it fine. :crying:
[Xiaomi Mi 4] veladem:
Hmmm, and what happens when you hit the update button there at the bottom of the about phone page? Scary part number one is no MIUI recovery, big sign. If it isn't MIUI or Clockwork I'd be skeptic.

Also, did you have a suction cup handy?
[Xiaomi Mi 4] averaraz:
can you take off the back cover?

[Xiaomi Mi 4] YasirQ:
When I hit the update button, it now says it I have the latest update, but I did get an update last Saturday and was able to update from build 21 to now 34. I don't have suction cup right now, but I did open it a while back and its different since there is no black plastic thing on the back. I will post the picture late today.
[Xiaomi Mi 4] veladem:
It sounds fake, but might be running a version of MIUI, maybe. Let's keep hoping it isn't fake though, be optimistic about it. Worst case let's hope a return/refund is possible.
[Xiaomi Mi 4] averaraz:
I got another idea:

Settings->about phone-> update

hit option button and select " reboot to recovery"

or

download the latest MIUI rom and copy it to your phone.

then Settings->about phone-> update

hit option button and select " select installation pack" and choose the new rom.(at your own risk of course - i did it a lot of times)
[Xiaomi Mi 4] YasirQ:
There is no option menu in Settings->about phone-> update or updater app. I downloaded "Mi Su Updater app" form Mi Market, but that does not have a "elect installation pack" option as well. So I installed Quick Reboot and from there rebooted to recovery tried installing few MIUI ROMS v5 and v6 but I get an error: "Error Installation failed, not a valid OTA package, missing scatter"
[Xiaomi Mi 4] P.Kosunen:
Can you post photo from recovery?

Try download latest developer rom from http://en.miui.com/download-240.html , rename to update.zip, put it to root of internal memory, reboot to recovery and try update.
[Xiaomi Mi 4] averaraz:
hey,

i found someone with the same problem.

check this thread:

[Xiaomi Mi 4] veladem:
Well, depending on where you live and how many people might want that phone if you can't get your refund/return done you might be able to make some money back selling it. Hell, I'd probably by a device like that just for kicks xD fool my girl and drop it in front of her xD she'd die
[Xiaomi Mi 4] YasirQ:
I have talked to the store and they say its 100% genuine, and I don't know anything about Android and stuff

Going to recovery is easy Power + Volume up, but loading a ROM is not.

No I did not scratch the logo, its just a light I guess.

Here bud, it's possible it's a genuine device. Get the IMEI, *#06#, and serial number.

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tveith:
Hello all,

I noticed that sideoloaded apps appear oversized when viewed on the TV from the Nexus Player. This is obviously because the programs are not "natively" compatible with the Nexus Player. This is most annoying when trying to navigate menus, particularly when using emulators.

Does anybody know a way to adjust resolution on sideloaded apps / emulators to make them smaller / fit the tv screen?

Thanks!
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smitty5569:
Depends on your TV. The majority of Samsung TVs allow you to go into the TV settings and change the picture size to "Screen Fit". If you have a Samsung TV goto menu -> Picture -> Picture Size then change Picture Size to "Screen Fit" instead of "16:9".

It's will be different for different TVs so try Googling how to do it on your TV.
[General Topics] chihwahli:
Inside the li ion battery is some kind of protection circuit that must be included with the electronics outside will it work. As someone else mentioned to me.

The outer electronics (right under the 4 pin connector)) + lab power supply equals no good boot.

Electronics attach back to Li ion cell equals normal boot of phone.

Conclusion: use the complete battery as a dummy. Opening a battery is not safe and / or good idea.

Edit:

From a RC car forum I heard that someone connected the power supply right onto the outside plus and minus of the battery. And that it worked.

Since a li ion battery requires a charger to charge , connecting the WORKING battery to a power supply will be bad idea.

That is the reason I am going to use a battery that can no longer be charged. Then I can safely connect it to a power supply.

At this moment I am draining my li ion battery beyond the lower voltage, to make it completely unable to charge.

My method of draining:

1) Enable exposed framework , and enable module "disablecriticalbatteryshutdown". This will prevent the phone from shutting down at 1%.

2) Use the phone till it shuts down by itself.

3) remove li ion battery, then re-insert it back into the phone.

4) try to boot. My battery was wrongly calibrated. After 2 times remove and insert, the battery gained another 10%. That means it saw 11% as critical.....

5) Repeat steps 2 - 4, until the phone does not start at all, the screen remains black.

6) connect a resistor in serial with a LED and keep using the power of the li-ion battery. You need to drain it. Or connect a bicycle lamp of 0.5W or more, that will drain it even faster.

7) Check the li ion battery voltage with a meter. The voltage should become lower then 3.2V. At certain voltage the li ion cell will not become chemicaly active again.

That means it won't charge because the voltage is too low. My cell shows 0 volt after letting it on the shelf in the very very deep dischanrged state.

Now that the battery shows 0 volt, you can safely use it! I don't know when exactly the li-ion is chemically dead. To be safe I waited to 0 volt.
[General Topics] chihwahli:
Battery complete dead and tested it (success!!!!)

Today I rechecked the voltage of my broken Li-ion battery. It showed 0V. With Li-ion batteries this means the battery can no longer start the chemical process that enables it to charge.

I attached the plus and minus to the cell plus and minus. Watch out that you do not cause a short circuit. One of the li-ion connections is a small island. At this small island you can cause a short circuit very easy. Just use tape around the island to prevent any problems. I did not connect it to the outside 4 pin connector. There is hardly any place to place a copper plate between it. So I hooked it onto my power supply. Set the voltage to 3.8V. The phone starts, but reboots endlessy. But that changed when the voltage was set higher, the phone could boot further. Only when I set the voltage to 5.3, measured at the cell connectors, the phone boots normally. I have no idea why.

Any lower voltage and the phone refuses to go beyond the first samsung N9005 boot screen and restarts endlessy.

As a precaution I used my infrared temperature gun and checked the temperature of the battery. It stays at about 30~35 degrees. It's stable.

It's running a game for 10 minutes now.

So, I succeeded in powering my Samsung Note 3 directly from a power supply! Awesome. I will make a video of my final setup.

So that you can see.

Video of my Samsung Note 3 on power supply: http://youtu.be/cqClM6Rlblc

Final Update #2: It seems that the li-ion battery is not dead yet. After 1 hour the phone charged to 2%. I checked the battery voltage and it is 3.9V again. So it seems that 1 or 2 days of 0 volt is not enough to kill the battery completely. I thought it was dead, because I measured 0 volt and because I could not charge the dead battery through USB. I urge you to be carefull and monitor if the battery is truly dead. I will start my deep charge cycle again and keep it on the shelf for 1 week. After that I will check again if the battery is destroyed or not.
[General Topics] ephestione:
What worked for me, on a Galaxy S4 mini (the note3 is still "too young" to get immolated on the altar of science) was to remove the battery electronics, solder two leads on the back plate of said electronics where there is continuity with + and - contacts, and by giving 4.2V the phone boots showing 88% charge.

Maximum observed current draw was 1.2A during installation and run of Antutu.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxxx-g-xxxx:
Tried the stock recovery and it resulted into a red triangle with a excalamtion mark. I then tried to install ARHD 82 and that resulted in it being frozen at the boot screen. Then flashed the newest firmware as it seems ARHD requires it. After the firmware ARHD still didnt work, so i got my stock rom from 6.09.401.5 working with 6.09.401.10 firmware and tried to apply the 6.09.401.10 OTA, that resulted in the red triangle again.

Right now im at the original status with a working older stock rom, but i feel that i kinda dont have anywhere to move. Seems that the firmware contained stock kernel (if im not mistaken) so i may as well try sunshine to get S-OFF, but im not sure if it helps with the RUU. When i tried RUU before i got stuck at the checking headers.
