    Thanks guys. The volume icon is completely missing from the notification bar with all the settings. Everything else is there;WiFi, mobile data, brbrightness etc. That said simply hitting the volume key brings up a menu to change the sound settings too. Prioritise, silent or full sound. I like this.

    Priority Mode is glorious. It will only sound notifications from people you have added to favorites. No more solicitation calls, safely ignore calls from work... I almost never turn it off.

    Priority mode is the fucking best thing. I miss it so much when I'm on my iPhone.

    The iPhone has one. It's called "Do Not Disturb" and it's every bit as glorious. It also has a bonus feature that, if someone calls a second time immediately after the first, the phone will ring. Then if it's an emergency, someone not on your friends list can still get through.

    Priority Mode is new to lollipop. I really missed DND when I switched from iPhone to Android.

    you can set up priority mode like that on android

    Huawei's android implementation has that, too. Do not disturb mode, but you can enable that bonus feature that if someone calls immediately again(I think one minute), it will be let through

    All in all, I really love huawei's android implementation. You can disable or uninstall almost all tools you don't need, but it actually comes with nice tools that help you make your phone run longer.

    I thought I was buying a cheaper android phone and what I got is the best android implementation I've seen

    Trying to unroot my Note 10.1 2014 and restore it to stock in preparation for possibly selling it. Does anybody know of a place where I can download the stock firmware and have it take less than, say, five days without paying for a subscription to some shady file-hosting service?

    I used DND when I go to bed, but what I like about Priority Mode is being able to just set it for like 30 minutes, or 2 hours, or whatever when I turn it on. It's great for when I'm getting in the car, or going into a movie. I've used DND on my iPhone for that kind of stuff and always forget to turn it back off, which kinda sucks.

    Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

    I live in Australia and my family is in the US, so it's nice to be able to just see what the local time is back home instead of trying to remember which direction Daylight Savings Time is. I used to have a world clock extension for DashClock, but Lollipop doesn't allow lockscreen widgets...

    at least on the moto x
    there is a clock app which you can add other world clocks to. you just need to open the app to check it., I don't remember if adding it there made it show up other places, but it was convenient enough

    Yeah, that's like, the base clock app and it's had it forever. It doesn't add additional clocks to your status bar or home screen or anything, so I don't think it covers what cokebotle is looking for.

    It's a marketing ploy designed to create an illusion of exclusivity, born of the need to conceal their lack of resources. In a way it's ingenious.

    There should be images via XDA for this. They should also have a root/unroot guide.
    Loaded 5.1 onto my N5 yesterday and restored to factory. There are a few options I still have to tweak, but apps are cooperating better, now.

    My Verizon G3 upgraded to 5.0. 1 today. And it's acting really weird. Often times finger swipes week register as a press, even if I'm still touching the screen and never let go. This has made Web browsing and the Facebook near impossible to use since I can't scroll without it registering a press,usually to a link I didn't want or etc. Anyone else get this problem?

    I'm starting to get really disappointed I got this tablet. I haven't had a lot of the problems others have had with it, but the lackluster battery life/charging times and the performance issues are enough to bum me out.

    Heya, wondering if anyone can help me out with a LED light notification problem I seem to be having. I recently got a Galaxy S6, and can't quite get the notification settings to how they were like on my S3.

    Now for some reason, the LED light works fine for text based notifications (google messenger, groupme, etc). I'll get a message, screen lights up, shows the notification, I ignore it, screen turns off, and the LED light starts blinking blue. When I get a notification from any game, I don't get the LED reminder if I ignored the notification.

    Is this just a "doesn't work cuz its a game" problem, or am I doing something wrong here? I'm fairly sure my messenger and game notification settings are all identicle (and yes, notifications are all turned on in the games).

    Quoting this in hopes for advice. On my nexus 6, since 5.1 easily half the websites I visit (including this one) never fully load which makes it so any 'buttons' on a page non functional. Reloading doesn't usually help. Forcing desktop sites sometimes does but not always. Doesn't matter if I'm on WiFi or network.

    I don't know what else to do but factory reset, there are just a few games I don't want to lose data for.

    I haven't updated yet, haven't been in a hurry.

    That's odd, though, since all that should be stored on Google's servers.

    Look into Helium. It backs up a lot of app data to your computer, but it won't work with everything. Also doesn't require root.

    If you're rooted, I think Titanium Backup should work.

    I recently got a vivofit watch (Garmin's fitbit knockoff). It's really made me want to get a smart watch. Moto 360 seems reasonably priced and since it's Moto/Google probably pretty solid build and features.

    Yeah I realized (after sending about three awkward "hey, sorry, but who is this?" texts) that I could just delete and re-synchronize my contacts. I also had to re-connect my exchange account, but CM12 actually made that really easy. I HATED the updated g-mail app on my lollipop nexus 4, so I'm glad CM12 has exchange e-mail baked it.

    That said I'm considering rolling it back, though I'm not sure how much work that is. The update just seems like change for the sake of change. I didn't really like it on my nexus 4, so I'm not sure why I updated my 1+1. Ah well.

    Pretty solid deal on the MotoX today: http://bgr.com/2015/05/05/moto-x-2014-deals-off-contract/

    Does this hint at a refresh in the next 8-10 months?

    I'm using the opportunity to at least get my wife to consider something besides her S4.
