Any of you who flashed L get MMS working?

 

Flashing and MMS?  Former congressman Anthony Weiner approves that message.

Mine does this all the time. .16 radio. Have LTE then falls back to 1x. Evdo if it can't find lte it. I'm about done with this phone. Most problems I've ever had. Seems to be LTE and 1x phone. Don't think it likes CDMA to much. I have to try this on att. Can I place a Sim in this and try it?

Yup, the newer radios seem to be better for att than the older ones. The .15 radio is especially bad.

The .08 baseband is pretty bad on T-Mobile. All around I still find .15 best for all carriers(ATT, Sprint, and Tmobile) I'm talking signal wise.

The new ones seem to preform better on att for me. Compared to a 5s on .15 my n5 was a bit worse (2-3dbm). On the two newest radios it's 5-6dbm better than the same 5s.

Ugh, getting the camera daemon battery drain for the first time. 4.4.4. How do I fix this?

Just reboot. There's still no known definite cause, but reboots fix it. Did you recently install an app that uses the camera?

Rumor has it that disabling merged IM and SMS in Hangouts fixes the MMS issues some are having with the Android L Preview.

I flashed 4.4.4 again because I wasn't ready for some of the bugs otherwise I would have confirmed this or not. Just thought I'd share for those of us who experienced the issue in the hopes if could remedy it.

Well I'll tell you this the bug is with hangouts. But I tried hello SMS and it works perfect except it compresses the hell out of your photos.

I haven't had any issues here. I assume you tried a profile/PRL update?

 

EDIT: Also try typing *#*#72786#*#* in the dialer. It will reset the network settings and re-provision the phone

Mine has since fixed itself, and if I'm not mistaken it self activated on its own... I had no signal for about 15 minutes in a decent sprint area (no roaming either), then after a couple radio swaps (ending back on the one I started) it asked me to chose are carrier and then bam! -80dbm Ehrpd signal.

It's a bug with selinux permissions. You'll run into it if you've ever restored a data partition backup before. Run this from a root shell and reboot:

 

restorecon -R -v /data/misc

Got it working again doing this, thank you for the info.

Anyone receiving duplicate texts since 4.4.4? I've narrowed it down to a problem with iPhones on Verizon Wireless, but curious to see if anyone else is experiencing this.

This happens to me occasionally. I notice I'm usually on CDMA (3G/1X), not LTE, when it happens. It first started on 4.4.3, but I haven't had it happen recently on 4.4.4.

That's unrelated to phone software. It's a network side issue.

I don't believe this is a problem inherent to the N5, but rather a bad file on your device. If all else fails, try a factory reset. It almost sounds like you have a profile or PRL issue.

It's a Verizon thing. It used to happen to me all the time even when I was with AT&T. Always got duplicates from Verizon customers.

When VZW starts pushing VoLTE, it needs to bring back that guy.

 

Can you hear me now?  Can you hear me now?  CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?!  Screw it, just switch the voice mode back to CDMA.

The can you hear me now guy couldn't understand what anyone is saying on CDMA the way that Verizon compresses it.

Been looking at "tempered glass" type screen protectors. Anybody have experience with these? Is there any difference from tempered glass and regular cheap screen protectors?
