Google has it on low priority in AOSP and someone claims it's on the Nexus 6 as well.
I know 3 people with the 4 and one with the 6. None of them have complained about this.

Does it light up the notification LED?

Also, Android Wear 5.0 respects the blocking settings. So, setting it to none will not allow the notification to be pushed through to my watch.

I know a few people with 4s and one with a 6 and never heard about it either. I'm guessing you've reflashed the stock ROM.

Yes, I've already flashed the stock ROM, reset it, all of that. I'm pretty sure it's just Lollipop screwing up.

I'll flash back to 4.4.4 if this keeps happening, I guess.

One thing that drives me absolutely batty about Lollipop and the notifications is when I'm in a Hangout chat, and I hit the volume down button to turn down the notification sound, and it sees Hangouts as a "phone" so I actually lower the ringer :wtc:

Is there any first things to do off the bat, settings to tinker with, stuff to turn off/on etc...?

The only thing I was made aware of by other android toting professionals is that apparently Motorola phones will be updating to a new redone OS version soon.

I had this issue with an OTA 5.0 lollipop version. I restarted my phones and it fixed itself a few times before not being able to make phone calls. I was able to receive most calls. I did a fresh install of 5.1 and everything is fine so far, fixed some of the sluggishness i was getting from lollipop too.

Nah, just sign into your google account and you're good to go. Your phone should have perfectly sane and reasonable defaults.

The thread says it is a problem with Google Play Services and is independent of Android version so flashing back will not help (assuming the thread is correct)

Yep, although there is a different issue where the notification LED doesn't reliably light (regardless of mode)

I'm running 5.1 and did a flash of it to check and see if it'd work.

Should I trade in my Sony Xperia Z for an LG G3? T-Mobile is running a deal on their refurb LG G3. Is it worth an extra $7 a month to upgrade to it? Mainly I've been disappointed withe the camera of the Xperia Z. I have a baby and pictures are important, and I haven't been too impressed with the Z.

Something like a second hand Canon S90/95/100 shouldn't cost much and will give you a great deal more flexibility.

The Lollipop update will look and act slightly differently yeah, but it's still weeks away. Don't worry about it, despite the issues discussed in this thread.

There are several "so you just got a new Android phone" guides on the internet:
Example 1
Example 2
Example 3

But as others said, the main thing is to just sign into a Google account and make sure your contacts etc. are syncing with that.

Oh and don't listen to anyone who tells you that you need an antivirus on your Android phone. That's only for people who pirate games from shady sites, not normal people who use the Play store. Or a task killer, you don't need one of those either.

The camera on my G3 is really quite good, the laser autofocus thing maybe isn't as gimmicky as I thought. Upgrade if you're ready for a new phone overall, if you're just wanting a better camera but otherwise still happy with the Z then just carry your point and shoot with you or go along with the camera in the Z. 4k videos of your kid sounds really awesome until you realize your phone is the only thing you can view them on properly.

E: check this out, it'll let you compare the cameras between devices and really let you know if it's worth it.

If it's the same music player as the S5, then use it! The only thing I miss from my S5 is the music player.

Generic music player is what I used. Google Play Music can stream music off of the cloud that you uploading, while the music player just plays local files.

You're thinking of "Screen on while charging" which means the screen never goes off and the phone doesn't go sleep. There's no way to fiddle with how and when it comes on.

My first Note 4 had a bum camera, wouldn't focus unless I literally HIT the lens. Like, with my knuckle. Shouldn't have to do that with an $800 phone.

New one works, though, and takes gorgeous pictures.



The light level here was actually quite a bit less than the picture would suggest. Very good image for the phone brightening it up and then taking a still pretty sharp picture.

Sorry, is this where I ask for help with my phone?

I have a HTC One M8 and it won't recognize my SD card. I don't know anything about phones but I tried restarting my phone, updating my phone, taking out the SD card and putting it back in, and finally crying and begging the google overlords for their favor.

That last option provided search results about KitKat having changed how the SD card works with apps and stuff, which I assume is not the problem, because my phone straight up says (in the storage menu) that there is no SD card mounted. All the options are greyed out.

Hope this is the place to ask, I couldn't see any straight up tech support thread anywhere.

I assume it's formatted, it used to work just fine and I'm not sure what caused it to stop working fine. If I access the phone while it's plugged to my PC, it only shows internal storage as available, there's no option to go into SD storage.
