Yesterday, I rooted my Nexus 5 and side loaded 4.4.1 update. Due to root, it reset my phone to factory default. So after I reconfigure my phone, I tried to use Dash Clock widget which use to work before the update but now screen lock does not show up at all. I already enabled widgets in Settings\security.
Any feedback will be appreciated.

So pretty much my auto rotate doesn't work even when its ticked or un-ticked and re-ticked, I even rebooted and nothing. Funny thing is that the accelerometer seems to work when I try a game that uses it so I have no idea what the issue is..
Back story to what I did is I flashed factory 5.0 and tried to root flashing SuperSU but found it didn't work so had to use CF auto root to finally get root working. I then installed all my apps and just used Titanium backup to restore data to my apps not system data. I didn't realized it wasn't working till recently. Anyone have any idea why this would happen or what I could do to fix it? Preferably not having to refresh everything... lol
I don't think Google home or whatever the stock launcher is supports rotation. Does it work when inside other apps?

Stock Lollipop via factory images or OTA, or a 5.0 ROM found here?
Same as mine !!!
Having same problem . Will not auto rotate after ota lollipop update . Will rotate and tilt to steer in games and youtube rotates when going to full screen but nothing when turning the phone . I've done a factory reset and now been advised to down grade back to kitkat but I'm not too confident doing that .
Somebody said to give it a couple of hard smacks on side to free y axis , thought they were taking the p-ss but I've just "smacked" mine and now auto rotate working again !!!
Mine has a different thing. I want to disable autorotate in my device, but it won't disable at all. I tried disabling from the quick toggles, from the display settings, and even from accessibility, but my phone still auto-rotates. Is there some way to lock the orientation of the screen?
Edit:
So I decided to wipe cache and dalvik from recovery as a last resort, but not expecting much out of it. To my surprise, it now works as expected. I had to enable auto-rotation again from accessibility, but afterwards it was working perfectly.
It is quite odd however that I am running stock, just unlocked and rooted. No xposed as well, and this happens. I have always hated wiping dalvik as it takes long (longer now in 5.x.x) to rebuild the cache, but I must admit, a lot of the odd issues I have encountered were fixed by these "easy" steps.
Hey all,
I just wanted to give everyone a heads up about the lollipop update that just got to our Verizon variants of the One M8. My phone is completely stock, has never been rooted or s-off. I got the lollipop OTA update yesterday and after 45 mins of installing I couldn't wait to see how lollipop would improve my user experience on my phone. Short answer: it didn't AT ALL. The long answer is written out below.
1. Notifications
I don't really like the lollipop update to the notifications bar (1 swipe for notifications, 2 for settings) but its really just personal preference. However, with the update, you can no longer check your notifications directly from the lockscreen. You can't even see the icons of the new notifications at the top without unlocking your phone.
2. Lock Screen
Lock screen widgets are gone with the update. You also no longer have the option of swiping to the left for BlinkFeed, now its just a straight unlock that brings you to the page you last had open. No way to get to the homescreen directly like earlier. Now what the update did that really pisses me off is that you can no longer control your music from the lockscreen. With KitKat, you could skip tracks, and pause the song directly from the lockscreen. Now with the update you can't do any of those. You can't even swipe down from the lockscreen to see the media playing. Literally all you get is the album image of the song playing on your lockscreen. Yeah, just the image, you don't even get to see the name of the song playing.
3. Longer Boot Time
The boot time is longer now. Also once I get past the HTC and Verizon logo's while booting I get a dialogue box that says "Android is upgrading" before it goes to my homescreen. I'm not sure if this the case with everyone but it has happened to me everytime I reboot.
4. Just general unpleasantness
Recent apps takes longer to show all apps (I use grid view). Its quite minor and only noticeable if you compare it with a phone on KitKat but its still annoying. The Google Play Services update was also really annoying and it made my phone hang while it updated. The update also removed the World Clock Globe feature which was kinda cool, especially when I traveled. Again this is minor, but the update should improve the user experience not remove existing features.
Anyways, this is just my take on the lollipop update and it could be different for everyone. I, for one, am seriously considering downgrading back to KitKat (if its possible yet). I really hate it when an update takes my device in the backwards direction.
What did you guys think of the update?
I haven't had any issues with Lollipop on my M8. I've been running Lollipop on my Nexus 7 for months, so I'm already used to it. After getting familiar with it, I prefer it to KK. The slow boot time is probably due to the fact you has "fast boot" enabled on the previous version of Android. HTC has removed it from Lollipop.
UPDATE:
Going to Sound & Notification > When Device is Locked > Show all notifications fixes the notification grievances that I had listed.
just_lou,
I don't think FastBoot is the issue. I had it disabled when I was running KitKat. The issue is the dialogue box of "Android is Upgrading" that still shows up (I just rebooted to see if it shows and it did). I'm not sure if this will go away after a while or not.

If you are showing this repeated it means you either have an app installed that isn't art capable or your cache is corrupt. Backup and factory reset. You should not see that message on every boot.
Still think 4.4.4 is wayyyyy smoother than 5.0. Visually.... 5.0 is nice but its only a few you touches. I'm not impressed. Waste of an update. I'm on 5.0 ROMs which help but I miss my 4.4.4 snappiness lol.

ok I thought it shouldn't appear every time. so I went ahead and factory reset my phone after checking to make sure a backup was present. the most recent backup was about an hour before I updated to Lollipop, so I thought it would be fine in terms of having all the essential data. I used HTC Backup for the process.
Now after the reset, HTC backup can't find the backup when I click "Restore from cloud". All I see is "none" under the "Restore from Backup" option. Now I know for a fact that the backup file is saved on the cloud, I used Google Drive.
Is the phone unable to read that backup because it was done when the phone was running KitKat? If so, then begins the long task of restoring everything one by one.....

No that should not be an issue. I have used it forward and backwards. Open play and then go back to HTC backup. Possible it's not looking in your Google account at all yet.

I opened the Play Store and tried again. Backup still didn't show up. Then I deleted all the accounts on the phone and re-logged in. Still didn't show up. I went ahead and did another factory reset, reinstalled the HTC backup apk, logged in and opened the play store and tried to restore again. HTC backup still didn't find my backup. Then I double checked to make sure that I was using the right account with which I had done the backup. After confirming that, I tried once again deleting all accounts and signing in again and still nothing.
Finally, I tried to sync the account manually and then try. Still nothing.
I have used HTC backup in the past, and it worked fine to restore everything. Just this time it isn't.
Is there anything else I can try?
You know you can swipe right when locked and screen off to get blinkfeed right? Just have to decide now before you turn on the screen if you are planning to go to blinkfeed I guess.
I get my audio controls for Spotify on the lock screen too... With controls to play, pause, next. Just double tap the screen.
The grid recent apps seems to take longer because it's multiple screens of recent apps.
Just a quick tip but you can access your pulldown quick settings menu with the double finger down swipe when the screen is on at the lock screen. Useful for switching to silent or airplane mode without unlocking or using the volume hardware rocker.
That being said, my battery life isn't so great anymore and my GPS is skewed now (I'm always about 30-45 degrees of in the direction I'm facing).
Instead of using that crap "blinkfeed" launcher use the Google Launcher form the play store.
Hello pro bros,
my friend has a sony xperia L running stock android 4.2.2, NOT rooted, and no calendar or clock or lock third party apps installed.
and here is the problem,
When screen is locked Time Freezes! (like when an app suspended)
lock screen Clock shows correct time, but clock in notification (right-up corner) freezed.
and suddenly after unlocking screen clock will be OK.
Things I done:
restart phone
Run without SIM
Run with different SIM
Change Time settings (24/12, Automatic/manual, ...)
connect to any other wifi router!
Run in SafeMode
Only thing I did not Done is Factory reset or reFlash, because the main problem for him is that "Alarm clock not working but its not matter because I have a real dock clock! "
but I really want to know where is the problem, its no matter to fix.

sounds easily like SystrmUI.apk is freezing.... have you any battery saver app that could maybe force close it?
SystemUI.apk is a system apk that manages the Statusbar, notifications on bar, and the buttonts on downside...(back,menu,app-drawer)
if this app got freeze or force closed by battery saver (wakelock detector etc) the showed time will freeze also
edit: another cause could be the using of a Theme

till I now there was no battery saver app but not sure about themes.

Rather than a solution, this is wiping out (or erasing, or covering over) the question, He done the Factory reset!!!!
restarting the phone 3-4 times did the job for me
I have a bug with my Nexus 5. Whenever I unlock my phone to the launcher from the lockscreen, the wallpaper will reload itself. It is very irritating since the wallpaper is already loaded on the lockscreen. I'm using Action Launcher but it happens on GNL as well. It seems to have developed recently since I didn't have the issue before. It occurs on all types of wallpapers, both live and static. I'm running Stock and Xposed. I tried disabling GravityBox but it didn't fix the problem. I might factory reset just to get rid of it.
Hello! I keep having this issue, as you can see, there are no icons on screen, except for the widgets. It only happens when i choose the App Drawer option, everything is normal when i use the Standard mode.
I already tried a factory reset, and extracting the Huawei Home apk from other Mate 9, installing it but nothing happened. Can anybody please help me? I haven't even unlocked the bootloader. It Is as stock as i bought it.
