Nexus5 stock update still not avilable - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it just me not getting the update or there are more people that didn't get the update on their phone? Mine is a Google play edition.
I installed an app called PERCENT ENABLER and I'm worried if that is the problem? Any help would be welcomed

There is no Nexus 5 Google Play Edition.. Only the Nexus 5. If you haven't gotten the update yet and are completely stock (not rooted) you can side load the update via adb through your PC. You won't lose and data and it will be exactly like doing the update via OTA. Head over to androidpolice.com where they have the update file and instructions on how to do it. Its really easy

If you are running a custom recovery then you may (thanks marleyfan61) get the OTA update notification but as jdawg0024 said you can always side load it if you wish.
You can get the factory images for you Nexus 5 from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=de#hammerhead.
However, do NOT use the flash-all (.bat for Windows & .sh for Mac/Linux) files to load it without a backup as it will wipe all apps and data, provided your bootloader is unlocked (correct me if I am wrong about this last part).

Not true. I'm running TWRP and I got the notification. It allowed me to download it but installation failed.

Percent Enabler doesn't even require root and will not stop you from receiving a system update as I have updated and also use a percent enabler.
If you're on stock the message would appear anyways, only the installation might later fail if you had modified system files.
ie. you simply haven't recieved it yet. Patience, grasshopper. :laugh:

maan, i stand TOTALLY corrected..
i just stepped outside in the garden before leaving work, with phone in hand, band 41 popped up instantedly! ~attachments~
when i originally enabled those bands w/o the update, b41 was as elusive as a dream date, now i can't keep it off of me.. lol
it never showed up in this uptown area before

& the handovers are nice, as soon as i came back in the basement, it switched from b41 DIRECTLY to a weak, but usable, b26..
~edit~
lmao.. it JUST switched to ehrpd.. guess that'sa more stable connection..

i need to, this weekend, go up top, to b'more, and /or ny, where the spark market is mature, to see what, things are all about..

Froyo plays well with others!!!

I flashed froyo on top of an already set up 1.6 and 2.1 rom's (seperately) and well it went well. booted right up. still had all my apps. whole point of this...I dunno its fun. I got to play with some of my apps. no Google apps carried over. super user was also gone. root explorer wouldnt
open. I was going to install su so I could oc. but root explorer was fc. most of my apps opened and functioned properly, except for no data connection. but I was able to call my boss and hang up on her. maybe a developer can do something with this info. this was sent after restoring back from froyo

Sounds to me like you'll be selling that iPohne, and using that free-service SIM in your N1 AT&T
so how well does flash work on the G1?
yeah, i "found" a build of froyo numbered 13, and minus the wifi, bluetooth, camera, root, live wallpapers its a nice quick app! all the stuff i said is not working in this build, but it appears the makers are working on that stuff at an alarming pace, and later this week it will be going in full swing. Yes, in this version, Gapps works
kingfroyo can you post the verison of it for everyone to test?

What iPhone does have is the ability to drop calls and call distortion. It's something that most android phones will never experience...
I flashed the jmod Froyo and couldn't get it to recognize the sd card or establish a data connection. If you have one that does all that, apps, google apps AND hangs up on ppl I would love to have a link to dl it. Thanks!

Amazon wifi only bypass

Is there a way to make the amazon app store believe that it has a wifi connection so that wifi only applications can be downloaded without needing wifi?
I have unlimited data and never use my wifi unless I am tethering
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Considering that non-rooted phones still have to connect to a PC to side-load the darn apps, why can't we just use the "internet passthrough" feature and use our PC's broadband connection to download the wifi-only apps?!?
I am assuming you aren't Rooted? Cuz, um I don't have to connect to my PC to side load jack.
I have not been able to find an "app" that will let me bypass the wifi.

I never used it. the phone made it three whole days before I was rooted and stock rom was booted.
'Course I read the forums for about a month before I was able to upgrade per my ATT contract and had already downloaded everything I needed and had a folder full of apps. Lolz

Well that's cool. My contract had long since expired on my AT&T Tilt 1, but I was waiting for them to get something like the EVO before I got locked-in to a phone for another 2 years.

I didn't see anything worth waiting for. Dual core is to new and not used and
3d...I'm color blind so 3d is not my thing.
By the time I can upgrade again (in 1yr 4 months) quad core will be standard.

Nexus 5 "Roaming" issue, Three UK

Hi All,
Been having issues with Nexus 5 now for a while and don't seem to be able to resolve it, originally my partner had the Nexus 5 from new since December 2013. She complained like hell about it so eventually I got in contact with Google and got them to agree to a new replacement device (I then kept the new one and she had my S4)
At numerous points through out the day the Nexus 5 while go into "roaming mode" (H+/4G logo replaced with R at the top) and the only way to get it out of Roaming mode is to go into Settings>More>Mobile Networks>Network Operators, from here to manually scan and then select auto again.
Google Play have sent me 3 replacement devices incase of a hardware issue but all 4 phones have had this issue now, my partners S4 and S5 dont suffer with the same issue and she is on Three aswell.
The one thing I have noticed is when I manually scan for networks Three comes up twice in the list, so maybe its an issue auto switching between then two?
Google keep trying to get me to run in safe mode, do factory resets etc but nothing works, I have now sent them a response today basically saying I've had enough and want to return the item so I can go out and buy a HTC One M8 (not holding my breath)
Nexus 5, Android 4.4.4 KTU84P on Three UK.
Anybody else had this? it seems to be Hardware and Network specific
Are you rooted if so what ROM?
I used to have it a lot but not for a long time now. Three UK also.

Standard ROM, no changes at all to the software.
Tempted to try a custom ROM but then I loose access to Barclays/SKY GO (both these apps wont run on rooted devices)
in the main phone settings, mobile networks, uncheck the roaming options.
Tried that also

You should try a custom ROM. As mentioned I've not had this issue for ages. I think perhaps not since I moved to SlimKat. Maybe give it a try? Root isn't activated in it by default so won't affect those 2 apps.

Not saying it will solve the issue for you, but I can say i haven't had this issue for a long time (and I used to a lot with Three) so its at least worth a try.
I don't have any special settings set. There is only an option for national data roaming but when we roam, we only get voice from Orange anyway. 2G I think

The black inserts that make up the letters on the back cover, are just stickers
I get this, but only in a low signal area.
I get this from time to time, on any phone I've used in the year I've been with Three (One M7, Nexus 5, One M8, Nexus 5). Usually fixes itself once back in a decent area

Installed Slimkat tonight using the following methord.
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Install CWM
3. Install Slimkat and Gapps
Now I'm not sure if its fixed the initial issue yet only a few days of testing will confirm that but I now have two more issues.
1. Even though I never rooted the phone, SkyGo and Barclays are saying its rooted and wont let me use them
2. The DPI is awful (very small) and it wont let me change it using an app because guess wot... I need root access

I guess that's why root cloak doesn't work with those 2 particular apps
Try and edit the zip and reflash it without the su binary. You can also edit the DPI in build.prop at the same time.

It's not the April patch and we already had March's with Nougat. Hopefully some bug fixes and performance improvements. My battery has been a lot worse since Nougat
I notice a slight performance increase. Battery life definitely improved.

I didn't see an update from you about this, but I wanted to weigh in. I saw this thread and your issue. I installed the update myself and it seemed to stay on the Sprint LTE screen for way too long. I actually had time to stare at it, worry, then pull up this thread, reread your issue, read the reply about recovering, and reread the solution! Then the screen dimmed and after I stared it down some more, it loaded the system stating the update was successful. Not sure if this was your issue, but maybe? For those that may run into this, I guess be patient!

To fix the issue, I had to perform a clean Odin flash then update. I'm guessing the conflict was related to me previously being on the beta versions of Nougat.

I had same issue before this update. Phone was stuck on beta version and said I was on the latest version when checking OTA. Smartswitch is complete garbage. Not only do you have to mess around with old C++ redistributable just to get the latest Smartswitch to run, once you do get it running the auto-prompt to revert back to stock no longer worked and the manual recover feature also didn't work as it said I had an invalid serial number even know I didn't. Not only did it not work, apparently the serial it wants is on the box only so if you don't have the box your SOL. I had the box and it still didn't work. Total lousy tool and worthless.
I ended up having to flash the official build with ODIN doing a clean flash. Once I did that, everything was great. Issues went away (battery drain, lag, getting hot, etc) Now this latest update popped up like normal. Update didn't take long to install, all good.
So those that were on beta at some point, use ODIN to flash official build. I already have a GS8+ on order and moving to big red after 15+ years with Sprint. Sprint is taking away subsidy on top of I can't take the network anymore it's total crap. That is a story for another day.
Well if anyone cares, the update includes the checks against hiding GPS mock apps from system. No more hiding. No more Pokemon Spoofing, if you're into that.

I have the same issue. Updated late Sunday evening and never got past the LET screen. I left it on over night plugged in and still at the LTE screen in the morning. Went to Samsung Experience Center in Best Buy and they re-flashed and all was well with no data loss.
I was prompted for the update again this morning, ran it and again looking at the damn LTE screen as I type this. The Samsung folks are off until Thursday so trying to figure this out. The SmartSwitch app does not recognize the phone.
Will look at Odin and appreciate any tips you, or anyone, has.

Roms

Where are all the custom roms at? I only see 2 in the rom thread. Are the S7 & S7edge roms compatible?
Thanks..

There are no custom roms for the S7 USA variants. It's not possible with a locked bootloader. We only have a few modified stock roms. I'm currently rooted and waiting for Xposed so I can finally have some decent performance and battery life.

How are you rooted if the bootloader is locked? ? International version ?

No there was a kernel source leak, so devs made a modified eng bootloader that allows root.

Thanks for the info. Im just trying to decide if I should keep my LG V20 or switch to the S7. Is the lag & battery as bad as many are complaining?

Only with root, stock is fine. If you do want the S7 with roms and kernels just get international because I feel the us is not worth it.

I'm on an unlocked G930T on AT&T on Nougat and really have not found a reason strong enough to go through the rooting process. The only thing that pushes my buttons is that I can't use TB and can't kill some of the old TMO apps completely. But the phone is speedy, gets me through the day without a charge, and has resources available. I've got a theme I like and have most things white on dark which I like better.
So until root becomes extremely easy and reliable, I'm okay with what I've got.
Hi I'm also on an unlocked version of TMobile using ATT. Are you doing anything specific for better battery life? I went to sleep at 100% and woke up with 87%. I have disable those that can be, I'm on Nougat as well and haven't installed too many apps yet.

Not really, just disabled everything I'm not using. And I use the device maintenance to optimize and clear memory every now and then. And I try not to leave the screen on, etc. The usual stuff. I get a day with no issues. I bought some extra wireless fast chargers on eBay and use them if necessary but really feel like I wasted my money because I just set it on the charger at night and it normally goes all day. But I'm not a real heavy phone user. That's part of it.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Buy Package Disabler Pro and disable all of the bloatware that comes with stock plus any other apps you feel like, my phone is flawless...
The only thing I miss about being rooted is Viper4Android, wish I could have that on stock.

Packaged Disabler Pro will stop system apps without root? How does it do that?

I have no idea how, but it totally does.. It color coordinates system apps, user added apps and even known bloatware apps, making it easy to decide what to stop.
It's designed specifically for Samsung phones, and is the first app I install since I don't have root anymore.
Worth every penny.
Well from TMo you can get s7 edge for $480 or the flat s7 for $560? On the edge, they have fixed the palm rejection at lease on the coral blue.

Well that's weird. I bought it, tried to install it, and it says I'm rooted or there's some other issue and won't install. Obviously I'm not rooted so I don't know what's up.
After reading some of the later reviews there are many others with the same issue. I'm emailing them to see if there is any resolution.
You might want to try your app to see if it's still working correctly.

Totally jinxed me..
I haven't opened the app in months because, why? It just works..
As soon as I open it to check, the license check failed and all my frozen apps reappeared.
Now I can't get it to reactivate, it seems many people are having this problem since the upgrade to Nougat.
SUCKS... Why did I help you hahahahaha.. really though, it sucks. Hopefully they fix it, I'll leave Samsung if not.
I did find this in another thread.. Try it out.
There's a link on the 4th post, it works and I'll use that until the current version of Package Disabler Pro is fixed or updated.

I emailed them the evening I tried to install it and they sent a couple of suggestions. None of them worked so I let them know. They sent another email a couple of hours later and said "try it again" and this time is did work. So they fixed something.
Anyway, thanks. And sorry for jinxing you! But it's not all bad news. I ran your Thanks count up to double digits!
FWIW, I'm a long-time user of BK Package Disabler Pro. For me, it continued working both during the Nougat beta period and since installation of the final version.

Strange. I wonder why it quit working for so many people. They need to fix it for everybody though because their rating on play store is going down quickly.
