I had a Sprint product development employee reach out to me this morning after reading this thread. His message says:   Robert via Samsung Note 8.0 using Tapatalk Pro

Placebo effect I guess. I checked the md5's of the radio images just to make sure they're exactly the same and they match, so it can't be the radio.

 

Unless you were running the first L preview radio and not the latest one?

maybe the radio is the same but I concur its better and more usable when combined with the new build, might finally get me off the .15 baseband.

If someone could fire up SignalCheck Pro and see if Alerts are sounding, I would appreciate it -- they were not working on the last preview. Please try both audio and vibrate.. many thanks!

haven't had it on long enough to say but no crazy drain so far.

I'm used to ~3 hrs screen time on my LG G2, but I could leave it alone (standby) for a few days (maybe weeks) because it drains maybe 1% every few hours.  Keep me updated.  I need a phone that's both T-Mobile and Sprint friendly and the N6 doesn't look too good on battery.

Is there a way to install 5.0 directly by downloading to my phone and using TWRP to install? Or do I have to download to my computer and use Fast boot, etc?

fastboot is the only way I'm aware of, but if you flash the pieces individually and skip the user data, and boot loader images you can keep data intact.

I did a flash if the factory image for 5.0 last night and so far things have been pretty smooth. It will take a few days to figure out battery life as there will be lots of caches building etc.. I'm staying stock kernel and no root until I get s feel for how stock performs.

How is battery life on the newest L builds?  Just curious because I might get myself a N5 soon.

 

Battery life seems as bad as usual :)   I'm 6 hours on so far, 56% battery left..  1.5 hours screen on time.   I don't think that is much different than 4.4 performance.

Hmm that doesn't seem too good. Lol

Battery life was never great on the n5. All the reports of people running developer previews of L pointed towards a 30% increase in battery life. Any time you take a big OS update, I think it takes time to get settled in. I would imagine it will improve in the next couple days.

There is some flashable zips on XDA. Thats what I used. Then use CF auto root to get root access again. Just make sure you have the latest twrp installed.

I can confirm that twrp is not compatible with this OS if you encrypt your data partition. Something to keep in mind if you encrypt and want a custom recovery.

Support will come soon enough. The TWRP guy already started work on L encryption.

If I sideload I wouldn't lose any data?

If you know how to use fastboot to flash single partitions, you can preserve your user data by not flashing the data partition. If you flash an OTA zip file (or most flashable zips from XDA), you also won't lose any data. Edit: Flashing an OTA zip file will make your recovery stock, though, if your recovery is custom like TWRP or CWM. It's only if you use the flash-all script that comes with the factory image that wipes user data. The thing with manually flashing is to remember to wipe cache and dalvik cache to prevent any issues.

I'm aware of that but the link shows the ota files. Not the factory images.
