Of course it makes a difference. Unlocking your bootloader forces a wipe of the device. If your bootloader is unlocked, someone can access your files; if your bootloader is locked (and you have a stock recovery), and someone tries to unlock it to access your files, it wipes everything before they have a chance to access the files. Of course, if you have a custom recovery installed, then it makes no difference either way, as someone can access your files either way.
[Nexus 5 General] peter_90:
hy guys!

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong thread :D.

Are there any lockscreen widgets in android L? Or are they gone?
[Nexus 5 General] thesebastian:
[MENTION=5650845]vladimir_carlan[/MENTION]

As efrant said, if your bootloader is closed there is no way to install a custom recovery without wiping first your entire device (and your files).

(A custom recovery can be used to access the internal sd memory).

If you never plan to root or backup entire apps (using titanium backup etc). It is safer to keep the boot loader locked.

[Nexus 5 General] n2rjt:
If you do root, "Boot Unlocker for Nexus Devices" app will lock and later unlock your bootloader, without wiping the phone. We're off-topic though.

Back closer to on topic: I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 through my job. It gets very good benchmark scores but has Verizon and Samsung bloat, and runs Android 5.0. My Nexus 5 with 5.1.0 is MUCH smoother, faster, less buggy. Even issues you complain about such as battery drain or GPS are better on my N5 than on the 5S.

HI guys, I just received 5.1 update on my Nexus 4, I am already liking the subtle UI changes. One thing I have noticed is the ability to update all out of date apps from the notification drawer without having to open the play store. Also there are notable changes to the Sharing Drawer UI.

Not everyone uses the apps that cause a memory leak, (RAM Allocated in system, but never released)

Not everyone will experience the same thing. My systems RAM usage doesn't ever balloon to abnormal sizes and i don't get screen redraws or apps reloading, but my phone has completely frozen a couple times.

Since updating to 5.1 it has happened only once while launching the Witcher Battle Arena game, and the phone had been rebooted that morning.

My conclusion is the issue is probably with certain apps or games and why some users are seemingly unaffected.
[Nexus 5 General] brnthlmt:
It's same for me too.
[Nexus 5 General] humzaahmed155:

[Nexus 5 General] markdapimp:
Nope, that's clearly a memory leak the GC isn't freeing the allocated System memory.

Look on any OEM LG for example an Optimus L90 with 5.0.2 It's got only 1GB ram.

Yet the system only uses about ~350MB max. Compare that with the N5 or N7 with 2GB, 1GB RAM 800MB IS NOT OKAY
[Nexus 5 General] baySF:
Has anyone had any problems with Emoji's? Since updating the ROM I'm on to 5.1 after being on 5.0.1/2 Emoji's on certain apps only display a black box with an x inside. Wasn't like that before the update. Or is it on the app side of the problem?
[Nexus 5 General] AndroidPurity:
I've seen that too. Specifically on tumblr that I can recall. I'm guessing that's why you saw that. I am pretty confident it's just an issue with tumblr not fully supporting emojis. I been seeing it as like Asian looking letters instead of emoji sometimes on there too. But tumblr is only place I've noticed it so it's got to be tumblr.
[Nexus 5 General] MoodZy:
Same here for me! It doesn't happen often luckily.
[Nexus 5 General] brnthlmt:
We must wait for 5.1.1

:)
[Nexus 5 General] baySF:
Yup. Tumblr is the main reason I'm asking about this. This wasn't present before I had updated my ROM to 5.1 - I don't see why they wouldn't fully support it as I have been using the same emoji's as before the update. But then again, I don't know a whole lot about coding. I guess I'll just have to wait for now.
[Nexus 5 General] Mehholoz:
Hi, I flashed the stock image of 5.1 after doing some mess with roms and kernels. Now the phone works fine, but I can't see any wifi network. How can I fix it? Obv it worked fine before.

Also there is an animation when you open apps that looks broken on 5.1.
[Nexus 5 General] markdapimp:

[Nexus 5 General] zagorteney:

[Nexus 5 General] atomomega:
This sounds like a kernel issue. Try reflashing your kernel. Also, as stupid as it may sound, double check that you are flashing a kernel made for your rom.

That's a bug in the last few Google App updates. I am using version 4.2.16 and the animations are fine.
[Nexus 5 General] Mehholoz:
Thank you for your reply, I was a bit warried because of the rom changing phase I had. Turns out it wasn't the issue, but I managed to fix it. Basically the 5.1 hates wi-fi on channel 12 or 13, so I fixed it changing my router's channel from 12 to 10. Thanks again tho. :)
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
You should only use 1, 6 or 11 anyway.
[Nexus 5 General] cookiehead2:
This :good:

If you're using an overlapping channel, (not 1/6/11), then you're causing destructive interference to your neighbors, and yourself. The base stations on a single channel can avoid collisions, but not if there another one on a overlapping channel.

I know everyone has been screaming about the memory leak. No problems here with a memory leak (stock, rooted).

What surprises me is that nobody is complaining about the unreliable and unpredictable Bluetooth connectivity problems. This is core phone functionality and Bluetooth has been broken ever since 5.0. Somehow Google prioritized this as "small". This has been a huge problem for me but nobody seems to complain about this. All I hear about is the memory leak, which apparently is a legit problem, but usually only appears after a few days and is solved by a reboot. There's no fix for unpredictable Bluetooth connectivity, which likely isn't going to be fixed in this new release.

The Bluetooth problem is a huge safety issue, forcing drivers to pick up their phones and speak on them, risking citations and accidents.
[Nexus 5 General] CSX321:
What kind of problem are you having? I have a Wear watch, BT headphones I use daily, and a BT stereo with hands-free in one of our cars. I haven't really had any problems with any of them. I've had some Wi-Fi issues, but I've just about decided the problem is with my router (I'm having some other problems with it, as well).
[Nexus 5 General] Pig Vomit:
What kind of problems am I having?

I'm only referring to Bluetooth to car connectivity, which the only thing I use Bluetooth for, which is probably the case for most people.

The connection is wildly unpredictable. Bluetooth shows as connected through both head unit and phone, will ring through head unit, but when you answer, about 50% of the time you'll have to pick up the phone to have your conversation as it's not coming through the head unit. The only fix is if you switch the phone audio mid-conversation to speaker, and then back to the head unit, but that's dangerous. I have personally experienced this with Pioneer head units and Ford OEM head units (three different Sync models). According to the Google thread I posted, it's a very widespread problem.

Unlike others, I've not noticed trouble streaming music through the head units, as that seems fairly reliable.

If I revert to KitKat, absolutely no problems at all with Bluetooth. It's definitely a Lollipop problem.
[Nexus 5 General] CSX321:
Ah. I've mostly just done music streaming, and not a lot of calls.
[Nexus 5 General] msgfromside3:
Have you disabled some permission of the system component with App Ops? I believe disabling location for Android or some system app causes this - I experienced this a few months ago. If you use 3rd party Wifi manager apps from Play Store and if they can find APs, that is the reason.
[Nexus 5 General] darthanubis:
No Bluetooth issues. No memory leak. No Wi-Fi issues. No random reboots. No battery drain. Stock, rooted. Not sure why I still read these forums except for the entertainment value, which is subsiding.

Will android ever become stable?

It's come to the point where I'm getting tired of these memory leaks, battery drain from Google Play services, bluetooh issue, bricking after OTA, etc it just goes on and on.

Google also has yet to come up with a solution to migrate phone to phone or tablet to tablet or tablet to phone etc without any data loss.

I've got an iPad mini (1st generation) - It's about 2 years old already... It's got a 1 GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 Processor and 512MB RAM and iOS 8.3. Yet it still runs amazing. Battery lasts long and lastly it's STABLE

My iPad currently has 23 Days Uptime, Windows Mobile can easily reach that also without stuttering or having issues.

Google needs to fix the more important issues rather than popping out a new release everytime, They need to slow down and build a stronger team as currently i'm seeing that Google has lost the original guys who worked with Android, These new guys clearly need some catch up and a reality check from Google or the previous guys.

that occours since kitkat, when my nexus 4 was on 4.3 i can open like 15 apps and it never reloads anything but since kitkat sometimes i can see some apps are killed even with 500mb of free ram, and even the wallpaper has to reload

And my ld nexus 2012 has better multitasking than my nexus 5 because the apps seems to use less ram for example settings apps on my nexus 5 uses like 100 mb of ram and on my nexus 7 it uses like 25 mb of ram

I wouldn't be surprised if Google acquires another Operating system or reboot Android entirely, Take chromebook and Chrome OS for example.

Perfect example on how Android should be, OEM's can build the chromebooks but the OS and updates are direct from Google, No middle man.

Let's take a look at another example Windows for PC, OEM's can build the system, chip manufactures can build chips (it's a good ecosystem like Android).

OEM's can customize the experience, however Microsoft will be delivering the security updates and bug fixes through Windows update. This is something Android needs, it needs a channel where Google can push updates directly skipping the carrier's and the OEM's while still allowing customization and the whole idea of "Be together and not the same."

Google is on the right track with moving crucial apps to the Play store instead of bundling them with the OS, but it needs to be enforced even more.

I love Google to the gut, but Android just kills me :(

My Nexus 7 was soft bricked for example from the OTA, Had to flash a factory image to get it working again.

Would be nice if Google implemented some sort of backup and sync like Apple, Factory reset no problem because you can restore from a backup.

Unfortunately, that isn't the case. Even if you've got root and whatnot, Apple has streamlined the process.

/Justmytwocents That's all.
[Nexus 5 General] rdlegy:
I have nexus 5 from a few days. This phone is nice. It is fast and I didn't have any problems or bugs.

If you want a stable os then pick ****ty IOS, but you will not have 1% of the things you do on android on IOS.

Android is an opened system. If you make it simple you will have it stable, but this is not IOS or windows phone

I like android how it is and I prefer it than the other OS for phones, because this one is much more complicated and opened
[Nexus 5 General] markdapimp:
The closet OS I've actually enjoyed Plam/HP's WebOS. Back when I had my Palm Pixi, it was all I needed the software was stable and fluid.

You can actually see where Apple adopted the Card multi-tasking view.

The open-sourced OS is always nice but flashing roms and custom zip's eventually get tiring when you're old.

Also, there is also this thin line of segregation between developers, you can see this on Apple's iPad and it's app store. The tablet version of apps is most likely a blown up version of the same thing on the phone (rarely tablet optimized).

Android will always be Android, but I think it's due for some serious overhauls rather than just Material Design and lower system requirements and other under the hood stuff.
[Nexus 5 General] cpanos:
Nexus users have historically been beta testers for android. This might change if Google actually goes to a yearly update circle and pushes the preview versions more.

It's not an issue of competency, you can't have a bug free os when every version is packed with cutting edge new features and there is minimum internal beta testing prior to release.
[Nexus 5 General] Evo_Shift:
About the only thing you won't have on iOS is widgets and something like an adblocker if you root which is the ONLY reason I am using Android. I put up with the stuttering, poor battery life and bugs so I don't have to deal with ads.
