Card stack animations hide recent apps more than they reveal them

Recents remain over reboots , making it easier than ever for any stalker to learn about you just by booting your tablet

Galley is gone

App info is now an easter egg in recents, and it is completely missing from the notification bar

iOS style popups get in the way of text, cast an amazingly annoying shadow, and cannot be turned off

Storage Access Framework may cut off SD card access to first party apps

Storage Access Framework hides apps like QuickPic and Cymera from photo selection, makes user go through extra steps to find these apps now. (Insult to injury, they aren't even stored in a discernable order. It's definitely not alphabetical.)

Built-in Juswrite actually contains ads

Have you heard about the battery life bugs?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CM17X:
I have sorted many bugs you've mentioned, for example, writing or reading from the sdcard is not a problem for me, and actually quickpic works better than the gallery use to.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CM17X:
There are the instructions for flash nvidia recovery images. You have to diwnload one zip fike which contains recovery, OS, battery.dc, etc. Flash them all using the step by step command lines they describe you there. Not CMW but faatboot adb.

Cool! :good:
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runningnak3d:
I'm with you...

I went back to KitKat tonight for a lot of the same reasons you listed, and a few additional one (IE: it is butt ugly). The whole flat thing has got to go -- it is also a usability nightmare. I should not have to guess what is an effing button. Yea, we don't need old school Windows 3.1 style 3D buttons, but definitely need SOMETHING.

Also, definitely back you up on the app switching being an total nightmare. Have all the good UX designers retired and we are stuck with a bunch of noobs that don't know WTF they are doing?

Maybe if Google starts to see the marketshare of 5.x going *DOWN*, they won't keep beating a dead horse like MS with WP and will actually do something about the usability of their OS.

-- Brian

PS - so I don't start some OS war, I hate WP, iOS and now Android equally. They are all nasty mobile operating systems in their current forms.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primetechv2:
The "and now Android" part is the biggest bummer. But yeah, that's what happens when its biggest developer forgets about making things for Android and just makes things for themselves.

At least lollipop fixed the sd card issues... Okay , it didn't. It brought more.

Card stacks are weird.

If you want the gallery side load the 4.0 camera app gives you the old camera and the old gallery.

Run SD Card Fix if you are rooted to get EX SD card functions back.

I think you can side load the old Just Write as well.

My battery life has been awesome on Lollipop. Getting about 20 hours per charge and about 4.5 hours of screen on time

Also not sure what you mean about iOS popups.

Sent from my SHIELD Tablet
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primetechv2:
1. Google mimicks iOS style popups with Hangouts. The popups are large, often get in the way of things I'm working on (with an 8" screen!), they cast a shadow that goes 1/4 of the way down the screen, and THESE POPUPS CANNOT BE STOPPED within the offending app. It's iOS notifications, minus the control. Love iOS or hate it (I fall into the latter camp mostly), Google somehow took that feature and made it worse.

2. Regarding antiquated stock apps: sure, some people build it from source, but apps like that tend to be finicky or laced with malware. I like QuickPic, but at the end of the day, Google apps take up space, a lot of space, even when disabled. Internal storage is precious.

3. Regarding rooting for more storage : it's an okay workaround, but it's sad Lollipop breaks stuff that worked in Android 4.3... but the bigger sin is that it failed to fix things Google said were fixed.

I'm not planning on rooting my device, and as a result I have several apps that come with fullscreen ads on boot (YouTube), try to sell me news sources when I can get newsreaders for free (Google Play Newsstand), a gallery that's built into a social network, and more. I can disable them and cobble together a replacement, but....

Where's the "stock" in Android?

Don't get me wrong, NVIDIA did a great job putting in the stock email app (Nexus devices all forced users into GMail, their email app was an apology and a link to the latter), and I absolutely appreciate their full Shutdown menu complete with Restart, Mute, and Airplane Mode. The Nexus 7, Stock Google, doesn't have any of that. But still, I feel like my great tablet is hamstrung.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leonixyz:
I'm trying to recover my device from a brick state by flashing the original firmware with heimdall, like this guide tells.

Because I want to bring everything back to the original state, I need these following files:

gt-p1000_mr.pit (partitioning)

modem.bin (modem)

boot.bin

cache.rfs

dbdata.rfs

factoryfs.rfs (file-system or ROM?)

param.lfs

Sbl.bin

zImage (kernel)

On another guide in this same forum I found a link to this page, where it's supposed to be downloaded the firmware. However, I cannot get any of those files.

Moreover, I cannot find any place where these files can be downloaded.

Thanks in advance.

Disappearance of internal storage, I have recovered over.

I'm going mobile phone built-in memory copy more than a 500GB ROM last night, found that the use of USB connection computer copy too slow, directly unplug the USB cable, the result is a internal storage card cannot be identified, I reboot into recovery mode to internal storage（/storage/sdcard1） for NTFS format. After reboot, mobile phone disappeared after restart 10Gb internal storage back.

Before I had formatted internal storage, but the size of 1GB, I don‘t know why this format after the normal.

昨晚我在往手机内置存储里复制一个大于500GB的rom，发现使用USB连接计算机复制的太慢，就直接拔掉USB线了，结果就是内置存储卡无法识别，我重启进入恢复模式把内置存储给NTFS格式化了，重启之后手机消失的10Gb内置存储回来了。

之前我有格式化过内置存储，但是还是1GB大小，不知道为什么这回格式化后就正常了。
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kembangan:
I am doing a plug-in for the pocket pc inbox application. My application implemented the IMessageFormEx interface and called the Microsoft's htmlnote.dll to create and display the original message form. My application hooked on the Microsoft message form and did some additional tasks.

What I want to do is to get the attached file data without closing the form when the user clicks on the "Send" button.

In pocket pc 2003, when a file is attached, the data is written to the MAPI database directly so I could read the MAPI message to get the file data.

In mobile 5, before the message is saved to the draft or sent out, the attached file name and path are stored in the memory. After the user saves or sends out the message, the attachment is written to the MAPI database. But at the same time, the form is closed.

I couldn't find how the attached file was stored in the compose form. In mobile 5, Microsoft used the "PIEHTML" control to collect the user input data. The attachment list was directly drawn by this control. I couldn’t find any documentation on this control.

Is there any ways to get the attached file data without closing the message form?

Thank you very much!

Just received it. It won't turn on so I figure it's completely drained. Going to leave it charging for a few hours and try to turn it on again.

One this I noticed is that it's vibrating on and off while on the charger. The indicator light is on so I hope its charging properly.

We'll see I guess. Wish me luck.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HankStorm:
I ordered a Nexus 6 64GB in Midnight Blue from Motorola. It was delivered yesterday at 10:30 and is still sitting on my desk unopened. I keep thinking about whether to return it, sell it on eBay or keep it. And this is without having ever actually held a N6.

I worry about the burn in questions, signal issues, whether a phone purchased from Moto will get VoLTE for simultaneous voice and data on VZW (assuming N6 sold through VZW and GPS eventually do).

I'm nuts, right? I should just open it, play with it, see if I like it, right? I can always return it. Why am I so worried about opening it?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jags_the1:
This is same as asking a iphone user , is iphone the best phone? Offcourse they gonna say its the best.

To get unbiased views you need to ask it in other forum like android general. Probably ask a mod to move this thread. In my view its not close to flagship phone and its price is not justfied.

Just my view
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaisanNYC:
To get unbiased views, the OP needs to open the box and make his own assumptions. You yourself just gave him a biased review because of the price.

As many others stated, the OP has 30 days to open the box and play with the phone to see if it is to his liking or not.

For my biased opinion, this phone does have some pretty good specs, and priced lower than similarly specced phones.

If you can boot into TWRP, connect your phone with your PC and use 'adb reboot bootloader' to get into bootloader. Then restore to stock.

I've been rooted and using 3rd party ROMs for a long time, with no intention of ever going back to stock 4.0. I'm currently using the unofficial AOKP 4.4.2 build.

In general, do custom ROMs require the 2GB/10GB partitioning that this phone comes with as stock, or can they work properly with one big data partition and storage on the physical SD card?

Reason being is I'm running out of space on \data and if I'm going to go through the steps of resizing, I'm just wondering if it's necessary to keep two partitions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Aimless Rambler:
I'm not an expert on the subject by any means but I don't think messing with the partitions as it's laid out for current roms for our device would be a good idea'r.
