*** Nexus 5 THE Official Thread ***

I'm running Lollipop, flashed it a few hours a go. I did not try it previous to this.
It is very nice to be fair. Runs very well on the Nexus 5.
One of the email apps does not work though, well for me anyway. The old style one still works.
I love the way it put all my apps back for me. It never added all my saved wifi info though :(
Everything else seems to work nicely. Not bothered rooting as I want Barclays banking to work.
 
Updated to Lollipop myself last night. Very pretty. As you say, the restoring apps actually works now, rather than installing a random selection of apps, some you've not used for 2 years.
 
Flashed the preview, all was well but then i lost Gnow it would always say no connection, and twitter would not send replies unless i rebooted.

also seemed to have lost stock recovery.
 
I am having a problem. I cannot send text messages. I have tried Chomp sms and Messaging (default) app.
Is anyone else having this problem. Cheers.

I had a similar sounding issue when I first loaded the original L preview. It was as if my memory was blank, but if I restored back to 4.4.4, everything was back to normal. I reflashed a few times but still the same.

In the end, I copied everything on the 'SD Card' to my PC, flashed the 'userdata.img' which wiped everything, then copied it all back again. It worked perfectly after that (so did 4.4.4 when I reverted back too) and also the latest preview works great.
 
I just updated to this new Developer Preview and then encrypted the phone... It didn't ask for a password.

Now the phone is encrypted but with no password, is this normal?

Edit
Seems it is, removes the password entry on boot which is decent and you can use any form of password entry to get into the phone. :)

I have nothing on my SD card for the device, the /sdcard folder is empty. I guess I can try going bck to 4.4.4 then copying everything and install Android L again.

That's interesting, I presume the initial unlock on boot is longer than usual ones as it decrypts?
 
Fixed it finally. Got a stock 4.4.4 image, and then flashed the Android L and it seems to be fine now. Tried everything else I could think of and it did nothing.

Without the password it didn't feel any different but once I added the password (at a later time) it asked for it on boot.

I'm sure it should ask for a password during the encryption set up.
