SIR FAT JONY IVES posted:The official HTC cover? I ordered it from amazon and there's no date in sight. Yeah, Amazon said this: "Although we can't provide an updated delivery date at this time, the manufacturer expects to be able to provide us with the item so we can deliver it to you on or before December 1, 2014." But very much *shrug*.

Tunga posted:My Nexus 5 is on "Optimising apps" now so we'll see what happens. So far I spent exactly 30 seconds fastbooting the factory image as normal. I had to unlock bootloader, and then rebooted, where the fun began. Stuck in a bootloop so reflashed stock, then had to flash cache and userinfo(?) separately, then flash Lollipop, THEN it's cache and userinfo and it finally booted. No hangups or reboots so far, silky smooth.

My N10 had none of those issues. I've had well over a week of standby on it before and reboots stopped a happening a long long time ago.

Has anyone else had an issue with Windows recognizing a Nexus 7 2013 in bootloader mode? I've been beating my head against the wall for the last hour uninstalling and reinstalling drivers but every time my tablet goes into bootloader mode Windows sees it as an unknown USB device (literally, the hardware ID is reported as USB\UNKNOWN). When the tablet is booted into Android, though, Windows sees it just fine. I've updated my USB drivers via the SDK downloader, and I've gone through two of the four options in the latest WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit. I've done a factory reset/wipe of the device via Recovery mode, too, but that just had me re-setup the device. I'm trying to flash the latest OTA release of L over top of the Lollipop preview that was released a couple of weeks back.

I even bought a $100 beater Lenovo running Win7 with USB 2 ports for flashing and phone stuff. Works flawlessly every time whereas my SP3 is flaky as hell.

Android Drivers are so all over the place when I used to have a Windows laptop it was much easier to just run an Ubuntu VM in VM Player and connect to that.

Karthe posted:No, I'm on Windows 7 and it's plugged into a 2.0 port. I've used this setup before to flash my tablet so I know it's worked before. What's weird is that just now I was able to get my laptop to recognize my tablet in bootloader mode by booting into Recovery and selecting Factory Reset/Wipe Data. Afterwads, I immediately booted back into the Bootloader from Recovery, at which point Windows recognized the device. I'm currently downloading the 4.4.4 image in case there's a problem with the bootloader in the 5.0 image... Seconding the linux VM for fastboot and adb. So much simpler and consistent. Windows adb and fastboot drivers are a nightmare.

I've done this with at least a dozen different devices on different machines and it has worked every single time.

Tunga posted:Did you reboot immediately after unlocking the bootloader? If you don't do that and then start flashing stuff it fucks up because a flag doesn't get cleared or something and you have to do a manual factory reset to fix it. That sounds about right, in my defence the guide didn't tell me that was necessary. All running smoothly now though.

So far, first impressions of the very latest N9 OTA (after I unfucked Google's mistake from the first OTA) is performance is dramatically improved. We'll see if this is maintained as uptime increases.

Is there still a way to force an OTA update during staggered rollouts? I remember from some past roll outs that you could repeatedly clear app data or cache from one of Google's background services to start the OTA download. ↓↓↓↓↓ EDIT: I have a Nexus 7 2013. goku chewbacca fucked around with this message at 09:41 on Nov 14, 2014 |

Chances are even if you got the OTA, it wouldn't install for you. The first OTA hosed up and didn't update recovery to the latest version in the vast majority of cases. The new one validates versions before it installs and finds that recovery is a version behind and it aborts. What I had to do was flash the recovery.img from the last factory image. Then the OTA will install. So, basically, right now if you want the latest OTA on your N9, you are going to have to gently caress with adb and fastboot anyways. Google has to release an updated OTA that can correct the issue from the last one for a normal flash to work. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 07:46 on Nov 14, 2014 |

No, clearing app data and cache from that will not make the OTA come faster, but it's also a non-zero chance that it will gently caress up your Google services on your device, so don't do it. If you want it sooner, download the zip file and install it using "adb sideload." Or just hang tight and wait. http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/11/13/flash-all-the-things-lollipop-ota-update-zip-file-roundup/#nexus-7-2013-wi-fi

Ended up returning my N9 to Best Buy and got an open box 10.5 Tab S 32 gig for $389 (haggled with manager like I always do). I know, Samsung but drat if the SAMOLED screen and non 4:3 isn't incredible. Blacks are pure #00000. No stock 5.0 but at this point I don't care. The screen on this thing is pure butter. Might even violate my religion and get a Note 4 as well. hotsauce fucked around with this message at 21:00 on Nov 14, 2014 |

Note 4 over Nexus 6? It's not even close, is it? Better performance and build quality on the phone, from what I've been reading.. I've played with a Note 4 at Sprint and it seemed kinda clunky.
