Wasn't it easier to answer the question instead of being an @$$? We are on this forum to help each other... I really hope you never have any questions.

Follow these steps...
[Nexus 5 General] Clems92:
Many thx for your prompt answere.

I was wondering on userdata flash, now it is clear. No user data flash : no lost of data !

I will try.
[Nexus 5 General] jj14:
True - most of us are here to help each other out, but in all fairness, answering the same question from a hundred users is really not a good use of the forums. There are stickies that outline exactly what needs to be done, for this very purpose!

Now, if [MENTION=4844004]Clems92[/MENTION] had written something like "<Here's> what I want to do, and <here's> what I've read - do you see any issues with following <these> steps?" or "<Here's> what I want to do, and <here's> what I've tried, and <this> is the issue that I'm running into - can you help?", that would be a much better use of the forums, and everybody's time.
[Nexus 5 General] Roland_D:
Now my problem is here... My baseband comes out as UNKNOWN... WHY?
[Nexus 5 General] Clems92:
I don't really understand where matter is.

I'm on A and want to go to B, but have a miss of memory, hask some help on the board only to be sure I will not erase my data after a lot of googleing.

But, ok, I think Earth will not stop to rotate for that.

Enjoy, and thank you again for your help.

It is ok for me, N5 is up to date :)

I was noticed during this time to update by OTA, but it failed for sure.

To help the board, I try to remember, there is a command to run on fastboot or adb like "flash all-XX" to flash everything except user data, right ?
[Nexus 5 General] donwhall70:
The problem is... Not only do we end up with the same question being asked and answered over and over, we are also subjected to the snide remarks that are made to these people.. This makes the thread even that much harder to follow. If I don't want to answer something, I just ignore it.. Helps the sanity and helps keep the thread that much cleaner :)
[Nexus 5 General] HSuke:
If this were on the first page, we wouldn't have so many replies asking the same question.
[Nexus 5 General] wolfen69:
Asking the most basic of questions without doing any research is frowned upon here. After you've read up on what to do, try it, and THEN if you fail, ask questions. But things like "how do I root my phone?", "how do I unlock my bootloader?" is ridiculous. This is a developers forum. This isn't Joe Six Pack's android hangout forum. There are a million other noob friendly forums out there to get your feet wet. This isn't one of them. If you didn't know that, too bad. I'm not being rude, it's just the way it is. Ask questions once you've learned the basics (or at least attempted).

And yes, I have had questions, but I at least had the smarts to at least learn the basics before coming here and wasting people's time. Besides, a simple google search will (most of the time) give you the answers to noob questions. I guess using google search effectively is a lost art to some people.
[Nexus 5 General] jj14:
Are you trying to be sarcastic or did you really not see the stickied threads on the first page of this sub forum??
[Nexus 5 General] Roland_D:
My point was that if you don't want to waste time you should not answer... If you answer just to play the know-it-all at least be useful and post a link to the solution and earn your "thank you" for the day... Am I wrong?
[Nexus 5 General] HSuke:
Why would that be sarcastic? Do you expect everyone to read stickied threads every time they do an update? These posts get linked from tech sites all over. In an ideal world, people would. But in an ideal world, we'd also have hours to waste each day. We could save a huge amount of combined community time if there were a short readme or FAQ at the beginning of every topic.
[Nexus 5 General] neo2306:
I am having WiFi always on problem even after its off or scanning during sleep is off
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
Same here....
[Nexus 5 General] jj14:
WOW! Just WOW!

You are asking for a short readme or FAQ - which is what the stickies are! You are talking about wasting time, which is exactly what can be avoided if you read the sticky instead of taking the time to write out your question, wait for somebody to respond, read it, follow up with a question about details of a specific step that you didn't understand, and wait for a response and then do as instructed.

And you are hoping that the person who writes out the response actually knows what they are talking about, and doesn't skip a step while writing out what they remember from memory. Instead, you could just read the sticky that was written by somebody who knows exactly what they are talking about, and the moderators found the instructions to be accurate and detailed enough to justify it being made a sticky! And this is the Nexus 5 thread - the stickied threads here are written by [MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4828464]Sandman-007[/MENTION] who IMO write the most detailed and organized and informative steps (that I've come across)

Really dude? You answer questions to receive the "Thank you" for the day?

I'll take donwhall70's suggestion and just shut up and learn to ignore some posts.
[Nexus 5 General] Roland_D:
I was sarcastic... I think your looking for something to argue with me prevented you to see the simple concept behind my post...

You wasted an awful lot of time *****ing and moaning for someone who complains about not wanting to waste time... That's all I was saying...

No sarcasm in this post... Let's see if you get it now.

will downloading the factory image and flashing them individually(excluding the userdata img) work??
[Nexus 5 General] wolfen69:
I guess people don't read the stickie threads that are posted to avoid questions like this. I'm gonna be nice this time. http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/info-nexus-5-ota-help-desk-t2523217
[Nexus 5 General] HSuke:
I wasn't asking for anything. I was just pointing out what could've been better. I'm sure we're both tired of seeing people asking the same questions over and over. So I was just searching for what could be done to prevent that from happening.

Unfortunately, stickies don't always work. We can't expect the mods to keep them updated all the time, and they don't. In fact, there's still no mention of 5.0.1 unless start from the back of thread. So really, it's up to the community to help each other and fill in the blanks.

Whenever a new version of Android is released, there's always a flood of users trying to install it right away. And that's why individual threads are important: for discussing problems specific to that topic in much more detail than a sticky can go. And it saves time for everyone else than having to search for it in another thread.

The problem in this situation is that this thread is the equivalent of someone calling "First!". OP created the thread to announce that 5.0.1 OTAs were available and provided the link. Apparently, that was his entire purpose. Everyone jumped on the thread and continued posting to 10+ pages, and no one on first page bothered updating their posts to provide any useful informing concerning common issues everyone was hitting.

Were they expected to provide any useful info? Not at all.

Would it have been be nice? Yes, but apparently that's wishful thinking on my part.

The solution to this would've been for one of us to create a new thread to replace this one. It would probably need a catchier title to steal the thunder, such as:

or

... and then include useful information about the upgrade in the first post. Unfortunately, I'm not as familiar with the topic as I would like to comfortably do so.

Mainly because you're looking in the wrong section. There are several ROMs being built in http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development. I'd still recommend upgrading using a stock image because you know exactly what you're getting, and the process isn't all that more complicated.

I've been using on an M8 with Skydragon Lollipop ROM with no issues. Will let you know how it goes over the next couple of days. Much appreciated as Lollipop's Smart Lock isn't quite as good as I'd like.
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Hello, Thanks for your report. We created this app because the default android smart lock, as you pointed, isn´t as good as it seems at begginig. We have found Smart Unlock to be far more reliable for everyday use. Thanks for trying the app and we will appreciate any other feedback in the upcoming days.

For other XDA members: If you test our app please tell us the device model and if everything worked as it should. We need testing specially on Samsung , LG and Sony device models. Thanks!

To bad BT unlocking won't work on Z2, I hope you'll find a way to fix it.

In a meanwhile if you want, I can catch logcat so you could see what's happening with a BT on Z2.

I'm quite sure that a problem is in Sony BT security mechanism, as you probably know, we have stock app for BT unlocking and that could be the problem...
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Thanks for your offert about the logcat, we may need to send a special apk for this purpose. I have a Sony Tablet Z, I have tested the unlock with wifi and it was working fine but I have no tested with bluetooth, I will do it as soon as I get home.

I hate personalization layers from manufacturers >.< , its a pain for developers.

Thanks for your testing time.

Currently we have detected some issues only on Xperia Z2/3 using bluetooth and Galaxy Note 4. We are working in a debug apk and we will send it to anyone interested helping us to debug for the incompatible devices. We would like to support as many devices as posible. Thanks in advanced.
[Smart Unlock] Aboody Zomar:
Such a wonderful app, i like the material design and how simple to use it, and its working just fine on lg g3 custom rom 5.0

But the only thing i didn't like about it is the screen never locks up!! In Google smart unlock when u r connected to trusted device and wants to unlock the screen it takes u to the lockscreen and then u swipe to unlock or tap the locker to lock the device !!

I hope u give an option to do that , it will be perfect ☺☺
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Hello! THanks for trying Smart Unlock!

Showing a slide when connected to trusted devices is not possible for an app without root (at least as was as we know). We will investigate more deeply as we think this would be a great feature.

We appreciate you noticed the materials design, we have done more work on interface than we are used to. :cowboy:
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Hi again.

We have bought a Sony Z2 for testing. After some tests, Smart Connect is not what generates de issues (as we belived).

In sony Z2 with android 4.4 there is an option at settings "unlock with bluetooth devices" , Make sure this is disabled because this will create issues with Smart Unlock app and sony xperia models.

We have also to notice that SWR10 smartband es a BLW (bluetooth Low Energy) and this can also be responsible of the BT interruptions and the unlock request after switch on the device screen. This issue is generated for the BLE devices and we will try to find a workaround for this kind of devices.

Anyway, on Z2/Z3 and other sony models should work fine under wifi and/or normal BT devices (not BLE) as far as the native sony unlock solution in "settings>system>security" is disabled.

Hope this helps!
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
There is a new update on Google Play with some visual improvements on low resolutions and the problems with Z2 and Z3 are solved. We will keep on working on this app, hope you like it.

Thanks for posting this, although unfortunately it does not seem to work with my phone.

OnePlus One on CM11S (44S) 4.4.4 with Pinlock using trusted WiFi.

When screen is on/unlocked, the icon shows "Device Unlocked," however when I hit the power button and on again, the pin screen comes up and I can see the Smart Unlock icon in the "locked" state until I enter my pin.

It does however work fine on my tablet using the same Wifi (Samsung Galaxy Note 8 on CM11 Nightly).
[Smart Unlock] pinoymutt:
There was also mention of a potential debug build for troubleshooting? I'd be happy and willing to run this to collect some information if you are interested in making it work on the Oneplus One. I'd really love to have this functionality on my phone!

[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Hello, We have disabled the timer for the lock in the last update because this was creating some other important bugs. So we have rolled back the app version and we will test harder before we make the app update public with timed lock when not connected to trusted wifi or BT.

Not sure if it's known, but using any other app that uses device admin to turn off the screen requires a reboot first, otherwise every screen off requires password entry, even in secure areas/wifi/BT devices.

Hi

Very happy with the app, looking forward to the SSID option for wifi. :)

Found a little issue : on a Nexus 7 (kit kat) with multiple users , it will not let you change user.

Normally, to change the user you swipe down on the quick settings panel, and press the user face /icon. Then the tablet locks (if it has PIN) and lets you change user.

See video 1

http://youtu.be/I7Bs2_DgBtw

WIth Smart Lock enabled, when you press on the user icon , the tablet will not lock. Thus preventing you to change the user.

See video 2. (Cannot see it in the video but I am touching the user icon. And nothing happens)

http://youtu.be/-QqiEikmp3A

Not a big deal though, before changing the user you need to exit Smart Lock. But wanted to let you know.

Gonza
[Smart Unlock] zamora666:
thanks
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Hey, thanks for the report. We will write this in our ToDo list, it´s getting to big xD

The SSID option is almost ready and we will update soon the XDA versio with this feature, it will take a couple of days more until release the update on Google Play. I will let you know here when we update the XDA_apk so you can help us with testing :) Thanks in advanced
[Smart Unlock] kantjer:
Would it be possible to implement a delay when switching from unlocked to locked.

I have multiple AP's in my house and when roaming between them I sometimes need to unlock again (first time unlock)

Also when going from the car (BT unlocked) to my home (WiFi unlocked) the same thing happens.

A user selectable delay would be great, but for me a 30 - 60 sec delay would be perfect.
[Smart Unlock] Dovidhalevi:
Similarly, I use 2-battery or similar app to toggle WIFI to save battery when not plugged in. WIFI is restored when opening the screen, but might be some small delay. After a toggle, how might the app treat this so that one does not need to reenter the PIM? (Location would solve this but needs be carefully implemented to prevent battery drain.)
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
Hello,

Many users think our app fails but the battery savers or task killers are generating most of the issues, killing our app service or disabling wifi when screen goes off.

We can not add a timer because this brings more issues, specially when the screen is off.

Usage Feedback - with

SMARTBAND

Hi, I've been using your XDA app for a week and here are my impressions.

SETUP:

- Sony Xperia M

- CyanoGenMod 11

- Sony SmartBand Talks SWR30

USAGE

:

Everything is working smoothly. Smartband is recognized in the app and as far as it is connected, the smartphone doesn't lock. As soon as the band is disconnected/out of range, the lock screen pops in. Wonderful. Simple. Priceless.

Since the main post states "NO BLE compatibility", it took me by surprise that it worked flawlessly. I guess it is working with the smartband only because Xperia M is not natively BLE enabled. It came as a "gift" with CWM11, but I am not sure if it is only a software emulation or BLE hardware is present in the Xperia M and has now been unlocked with the ROM.

WHAT is NOT working

- Hide notification doesn't always work. Sometimes the icon/notification keeps appearing on the taskbar

IMPROVEMENTS

:

I would really appreciate a "lock anyway" period, e.g. at night or a specific time a device can unlock the smartphone (i.e. my wifi can unlock the device only from 10:00 to 16:00)

Other than than, I personally am for the "no frills" approach, so it's fine as it is today.

Great work, thanks for giving XDA members the chance to use the app!

Great app, very much needed! Although I do have Moto X 1st Gen with "moto skip" accessory, but still like the features of having the device unlocked when connected to Wi-Fi. I did get this XDA version and would like to know if it will be updated the same time as Google Play Store edition or it won't get any updates?
[Smart Unlock] hazex:
The app should request for device admin privileges as soon as you open the app. If the admin privileges are removed manually by the user, Smart Unlock will request again privileges on next app start. Are you sure the app does not have already admin privileges?
