Android L preview bug list

For those who have installed Android L on their nexus 5 and are playing around with the new features and the OS in general, use this space to list any bugs you have found so far.
BUG: Vibrate doesn't work throughout OS
BUG: installing multi apps at one time (click and hold method) creates an error and you must download apps one at a time.
BUG: changing the color scheme on the keyboard changes the keyboard back to the old style keyboard.
BUG: keyboard occasionally stays active even after exiting an app.
BUG: keyboard's floating suggestion sometimes has Black background covering other letters instead of being clear.
Annoyance: for the one day of using it, battery saver is great but the notification is always on the new home screen and you cannot get rid of it unless you disable it..

I have 32GB Version of Nexus 5 but in Storage Settings and after flash it shows me that I have only 16GB of storage available? Anyone else?

Vibration works fine !!
Multi app installation also works fine !!
I am having wifi teher problem !!

Installing multiple apps works for me

I am having same keyboard issues with the suggested word often having a black background and the other colours don't work.
Appwise: Facebook's comments window doesn't have the correct white background. It is a dark transparent colour that makes reading the comments very difficult.
Netflix FC's alot. Sometime immediately on opening and sometimes after some navigation.
Chrome is using ALOT of battery. It seems to be keeping the mobile radio active in the background or something.
I agree that the persistent notification for the battery saving mode is annoying as it shows up on the lock screen until disabled.

at least 50% of the bugs on the bug list are from nexus 4 owners crying about not getting a port.... That's not a bug.. that's a decision.

You're not the only one, mine shows that too. And I locked and unlocked phone to wipe phone, and fastboot flashed all files individually.

I would never advise that. Why not simply type flash-all from the command line and have it done correctly?

Wiping didn't solve the issue for you if I understood correctly?
That's sad. That is really the one thing that will keep me away from using it as a daily driver. Otherwise it works like a charm.

there are other two-three apps that appears like Google Play Services in battery stats, so look for the one causing it... also.. mobile data? wifi? there's a lot of speculation about GPlayServices, sometimes turning off reboot and turning on solves problem, is weird actually
and again, is google's fault, not sony xD, after some days dissapear for me...

Its media server draining most, other normalised anyone fix, custom rom ?

I think I might be of some help.
I believe you're having the same problem I did when I bought the phone.The 4.1.2 firmware has a very bad stand-by drain problem because of that eco controller or something like that.I tried to find the solution for a month or two before I gave up.But then the 4.3 update came around and it fixed the bug right up for me.Now the problem with 4.3 is that it has one or two visual bugs but none that break the rom.So, I would suggest that you upgrade to 4.3 IMMEDIATELY and if you have a custom recovery then install ExistenZ 4.0 which I am on right now.It has fixed 99% of the bugs from the stock 4.3 and also has awesome battery life just like the stock 4.3.
I hope you fix your problem.Good Luck !
Also
CHECK IT BHOY:
I lost only 2 percent in the 5 hour standby.All the rest is screen time.
EDIT:I highly doubt mediaserver actually drains the battery that much.I mean, look at my mediaserver drain.I still get awesome standby and screen on time on a single charge.

2% percent down in 13m
really...

94% pls help

If the problem still persists in 4.3 then I guess the only thing left to do is to turn off location services and use wakelock detector to see what causing the extreme battery drain.

Trouble with "Ok Google" Always On

[Original Post]
"Ok Google" works fine for me when the phone is on/unlocked without any training. However, to have it work even when the screen is off or the phone is locked it requires training your voice. For the life of me I can't get it to accept the training. It wants to record you saying "Ok Google" three times and it will move on to the second and third recordings after a previous recording is successful. I can't get it to move past the first recording. It just listens for a while and then times out. Anyone else have this issue? Any thoughts on how to resolve it?
[Update 1]
Clearing Google Search data made voice training quick and easy, but my option to have it always on has disappeared. See my post below. Thoughts?
[Update 2]
I just rebooted the phone and my "always on" option has returned but it wants me to retrain my voice. Now I can't get past the first recording again...

I don't have that issue. Voice training went off without a hitch. Did you go to a quiet place like the instructions said?

Thanks for the response. Yes, I was in a location with no sound.
Since posting the original post I found this thread where someone suggested clearing Google Search app data. I tried it and voice training was quick and easy. However, I don't seem to have the option for this to work with the screen off anymore. I can only do it when the screen is on, locked or unlocked.
Here is what the options used to look like (not my screenie, I just found this image on the web, probably from an N9 or something):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now here is what my screen looks like:
I no longer have the "always on" option. One step forward, one step backward.

@Marcellus1 I see that no one has offered any help here and I can't either. My N6 has the issue that your first picture shows. I am running Validus 5.0.1 alpha 1.0 Rom. I have read that this is an issue with all AOSP ROMs right now but there isn't very much being discussed about it. If you find a solution, please let me know. If I find one I'll definitely post it here.
The odd thing is that my my N5, N7(2013) and N9 all have this feature working flawlessly, all running Lollipop. My N6 is the only device with issues and I have tried 3 different ROMs as well as several different gapps packages to try to solve it to no avail.

you can try this thread, as thats what fixed my ok google everywhere and with screen off and unplugged http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/ok-google-everywhere-aosp-rom-t2963716
btw, im on rastapop.

I appreciate the replies. It seems that the fix is only a 50-50 chance of working AND it requires a custom ROM. I'm on stock, no root, no custom recovery, no anything special. I'll probably switch to a custom ROM at some point, but for now I don't think I'm ready to make the switch. One post mentioned in that thread referenced this other thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57335716&postcount=295
The suggestion is to clear search and play data in order for the changes to survive a reboot, but that you lose the option for always on while not plugged in. That doesn't seem optimal either. Word is Android 5.1 due out in February or so will address "Ok Google" issues, which hopefully means this issue. Maybe I'll just sit tight until 5.1 rolls out before trying factory resets, custom ROMs or the like.

I had a Pressy inserted into my headphone port. Ok Google worked fine on the homescreen with the Pressy inserted, but it would not work with the voice training with the Pressy installed. If i did the voice training without the Pressy, then put the Pressy in, Google Now still worked ok on the homescreen, but not with screen off.
EDIT: I am rooted on stock ROM.

That's interesting. I've had a pressy in my headphone jack. When I try training my voice with Pressy inserted, the phone just endlessly listens and eventually times out. When I removed it and tried voice training again I immediately got "something went wrong" and "It's a little too noisy in here. Please find a quieter place and try again". (and I'm in a quiet place).
[EDIT]: As a follow-up, I've uninstalled Pressy and the AutomateIt Pressy plugin. I've cleared my search data, and installed the new Google (search) app (http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/01/07/google-app-hits-version-4-1-now-cards-settings-apk-download/), but still no luck training my voice.

Thanks for your suggestion but it did not work. I saw your suggestion previously and put it off because I didn't want to have to root my device. However, after getting the updated google (search) app today and it still not working, I decided to give it a go. Unlocked the device, rooted it, etc, then copied the files mentioned in your solution to the appropriate locations. Rebooted the device and now my "always on" feature is grayed out and disabled--it says this feature is currently unavailable for this language. The language is set to English (US). I cleared the search app data and was able to train the device immediately, but it was just like my post above where the always on is limited to when the screen is on and unlocked or when charging. Rebooting the phone and/or re-installing the updated google (search) app (because I lost it during the rooting process) takes me back to "this feature is currently unavailable for this language".
[EDIT]: I was looking through that thread some more and saw that some were having some success with flashing the zip by hlxanthus that was a little bit different from the original suggestion. I took my root a step further and installed a custom recovery and then flashed hlxanthus's zip. There is no change.
[EDIT 2]: As a follow-up to the previous edit, after flashing hlxanthus's zip, clearing search data no longer makes a change to enable voice training.

Thank you very much for the update! I was still having the issue and just forgot about it. I was thinking about trying out the 5.1 update but just haven't gotten around to it.

Me too, does not work with marshmallows, you have found a solution?

works fine on marshmallow over here. i even taught it to listen for ok nexus instead of ok google.

Do you have Now on Tap or Smart Lock enabled? Some people have reported that these cause issues with hot word detection.

This Feature is Broken Again!!!
I've noticed this is broken on Android N. I often clean install custom ROM and then the latest OpenGApps only to find that when I toggle on OK Google "Always On" the toggle instantly turns itself back off the moment I turn it on. There's some work arounds on the forums and I can usually make it work by Installing and old version of the Google App clearing all data for Google App then training voice model and setting OK Google "Always On" toggle to "On". Then after everything is working I go ahead and update Google App from Play Store and usually it keeps working. Sometimes it breaks again. I'm tired of working around this. I wanna know if it will ever again be possible to use this feature. This has been going on for months. Perhaps they should just remove the feature all together then at least it won't be there broken and useless.

[Q] Google Now not working. Network error. [SOLVED]

Ok
I have a brand new Droid Turbo that is having problems with Google Now. I get no Cards. The Google now screen is blank except for the past 3 searched items.
If I swipe from the left and hit settings/Now Cards the first item is Show card which is off and I can't change it and it has an error messages under it that says "Network error. Check your network connection and try again."
I can browse the internet fine with all apps be it WiFi or Verizon 4G. I have tried to clear data from the Google App, I've uninstalled the latest update, I have done two factor resets. My Nexus 7 gets to this just fine. Any clues?
Thanks.

Seems like many brands of routers paired with the Droid Turbo are acting up. Some report turning off IPV6 worked for them. It doesn't for me. I don't think it's a router issue as HTC and Apple devices work perfectly over wifi.
Hopefully Motorola gets the message...

You have completely misunderstood my problem.
I'm not having any lag nor are there any REAL network issues. My Google Now is blank. It doesn't show ANY cards. The error message says I have a network problem but I can use the phone just fine. Something is screwed up on Google Now. This has nothing to do with routers or anything of that nature.

Well, it just sounds mighty similar to what I and many others are experiencing.
Try it with wifi off and see if it does the same thing. For me, using verizons radio/data app grab data snappy like it should be. Wifi is my turbos issue.
Generally the turbo needs 2-3 tries of refreshing in in the play store, reddit sync, chrome and so on before loading images. For instance, the play store will show app tiles but take forever to load the icon. The wifi lag/poor responsiveness is intermittent happening around 50% the time an app needs data via wifi. Considering you just got your phone it might creep up on more apps as you use your phone. Just throwing it out there.
I also have the app Trend. Different apps show different errors and Trend will say "No data connection found" when my phone is acting shi**y over wifi. Refreshing it a couple of times generally restores data.

Had this issue just two days ago after refomatting my device and may have declined a google location setting. I posted my fix over in the Google help forums and this is what worked for me two days ago and its still working
Another thing to try that worked for me is> Google settings in the app drawer>Account History>Turn off Web&App Activity/Device Information/Voice & Audio Activity/ Youtube search History/ Youtube watch History/Google location History> wait five minutes and turn it all back on.
I tried this after i didnt know if it was my device or my account. so I deleted my google account from the phone and installed my wifes account and found "google now" worked perfect, so I knew it was in my account settings which was a relief. Thats how I found whats above worked for me. Maybe if the above doesnt work for you do as i did and install another persons google account on the phone see if the "google now "works then if it does then you know its your account, and try the above that worked for me.

Thanks,
I tried a second fake google account and it brought the Google Now wizard right up. So it is some kind of authentication issue or file corruption either in the phone or at google. Though my Nexus 7 works just fine so I doubt it is an issue with the account on google's end. I'll try your recipe and see if that clears it.

Let us know if it works.

Good!!!
I searched all of the internets for a solution and didnt find anything. One time I did a voice google "remind me" and instead of saying this "is not avalible on this device" it said " enable web & app activity" so thats how I came up with the solution. Maybe you didnt have to do all that deleting the history, but I did and thats what worked. Glad it worked for you and a couple of others on the google help forum. Makes me feel like a big wig! LOL.. Thanks for the "thanks"

One time I did a voice google "remind me" and instead of saying this "is not avalible on this device" it said " enable web & app activity" so thats how I came up with the solution. Maybe you didnt have to do all that deleting the history, but I did and thats what worked. Glad it worked for you and a couple of others on the google help forum. Makes me feel like a big wig! LOL.. Thanks for the "thanks"

Yep there is no way to really know if that was a necessary step or it was swatting flies with nuclear weapons. But it got the job done and now I can finally enjoy my new phone. Accidentally washed my Moto X so this has been totally frustrating until now.

the above solution is the only thing that worked for me... htc one m8

"Another thing to try that worked for me is> Google settings in the app drawer>Account History>Turn off Web&App Activity/Device Information/Voice & Audio Activity/ Youtube search History/ Youtube watch History/Google location History> wait five minutes and turn it all back on. "
I am having a dumbazz period. lol. I could not find the above on my Droid Turbo. Google settings in the app drawer is what I can't figure out. This is Greek to me. Please enlighten me. Thank you.

Here's Google settings in my app drawer

Thank you so much. It makes a lot of sense now.

I had this same problem when I purchased this phone coming from Moto X with 5.0.
Solved this by excluding the cards preferences in google settings.
After excluding this preferences, google now started working.

[Q] Ok Google Everywhere option gone

I had this option turned on and was using it just a few hours ago. After restarting my phone, OK Google no longer works from anywhere except the Google app and the option in the settings is completely gone. Does anybody have any idea what may have caused the option to go away?

Same issue with me and its annoying.

Same issue here. Thought I was going crazy.

Same here, but I just bought it 12 hours ago. Been trying to make it work since.

don't have an s6 but read that the samsung push update removed it,delete the update and it should come back

I can confirm that not the case. I have the push update and my okay Google functionality is fine.

Yes but can you use "ok google" from any screen?

Mine is gone, too. Very frustrating.

Nice your lucky. This is what mine looks like. Are you on the latest build also? See my attachments. Or maybe like someone said earlier the latest Samsung update cancelled my okay Google functionality. Who knows, wish I had it though.

Latest build, latest Samsung Push update, latest Google Search, latest everything.

Whoops, just realized this is in the T-Mobile forum. I've got an AT&T Edge, same problem.

I found a work around with using the Nova Launcher. There is an okay Google option as you'll see with the attachment that works for me on any screen that I'm on. You have to have the premium version I think not sure about that but anyways for what it's worth

I believe it may have something to do with new Google play services that was just pushed. Option was enabled, but, when updated GPS to 7.3.28, function stopped and option disappeared.

Same here
Since Friday evening I've been going through every single setting on my S6 Edge. I had the phone since April 4th, where I had ok google everywhere, but not "trusted voice" in the Smart Lock settings. I restored my phone 2 times now, thinking the first restore got rid of Ok Google Everywhere. I now see others are having the same issue which is great!

I don't know if this has anything to do with it but check the version of Google Play Services. Last week Android Police posted an article about 7.3.27 and I saw their caution that you need to make sure you grab the right version for your device -- http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...d-wear-notification-dismissible-apk-download/ details how to decipher the salient version into. On my stock S6, I have -440 so I didn't update. Now, today, I see I've got 7.3.28 (1863718-440) -- It seems the 440 is an important part. So, I'm more current than the version in the Android Police article I cited and I have Trusted Voice and OK Google everywhere.

I just downloaded 7.3.28 (-440) and still do not have access to Ok Google Everywhere, also Trust Voice is still "off" no matter what.

another setting also vanished.
Lost OK Google from any screen yesterday. Checked settings and the only option is "From Google App". No any screen and no Trusted voice settings. ALSO noticed another setting that vanished. In phone settings the option to "turn off screen during calls" is gone. Now during phone calls my screen turns off, which I really don't want and I can't find a setting to uncheck it.

voice your disapproval: @S6NoOKGoogle https://twitter.com/S6NoOKGoogle

It is now fixed!!!!! simply go to the play store, or your application manager, uninstall updates and reinstall.
