Thanks, it's not just me then. I would call that behaviour broken.

Still trying to come to grip with how notifications work in Lollipop. The issue I'm finding is it will pop up a truncated notification in the Lockscreen, but when I unlock it to reveal the rest of the message, it's gone and I can't find any list of notifications anywhere. If I can tell it's a...

Reinstalled and cleared the cache. Got my first notification upon rebooting. Fingers crossed I get more! Odd that I had to do this as it was already a clean install of Lollipop. Thanks!

I have Google Calender running on both my iPhone and Nexus 5. I get notifications on my iPhone but not my Nexus 5. I've been through every setting I can find but nothing has helped. I don't have SMS notifications enabled. Has Google broken something or do I have to do some kind of dance to make...

People actually use Google Now? Wow, I thought it was just Google's way of sticking it to us for allowing them to rummage through our personal mail like that's somehow okay.

Re: Camera sound, how do you turn it off You can't turn the volume down when the camera is open. You have to do it before you open the camera. It's a pretty in-your-face option to omit. While we're on this topic, Google gives us two gallery apps: they're both dog-**** stinkingly appalling...

It does have a pop-up notification in the settings but it doesn't seem to work in the lockscreen. What's Chomp like? I've read it has ads.

That might be a way, but unfortunately Textra doesn't show up as a widget option.

I've replaced Hangouts with Textra. Seems to be a good choice. Only thing that bugs me is the notifications give you no information other than you've received a text. You have to unlock the phone then open Textra and find the message. It's a bit ordinary. I tried Slidelock and NiLS but wasn't...

Unless you really want the entire developers kit, it's a heck of lot simpler using Minimal ADB: [TOOL]Minimal ADB and Fastboot [7-18-13] - xda-developers You might need to uprade your driver. I used the universal naked driver: Nexus 5 Driver (ADB and Fastboot) Installation Guide Renaming the...

Sideloaded it yesterday. It's nothing to get excited about. Here's the link: http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_hammerhead/d173d546ab2347ead90cb0978657f11046300511.signed-hammerhead-KTU84M-from-KOT49H.d173d546.zip Rename it to something short like 5.zip Then use Minimal...

That's it. Still prefer the IOS app, and that's something I don't like saying.

Thanks everyone for recommending Quickpic, but, alas, it is not interested in sorting by location/date (as per the OP.) I've since found Eagle Eye, which will group by Places or Countries, which is more helpful. It, however, doesn't offer the timeline view, sorted by places, as IOS does it. But...

I have both, but use my Nexus as primary, for the screen size. I have no love for Apple whatsoever, but it wasn't until I got my Nexus that I started to see Google in a more sinister light. IOS has better quality apps right across the board with the exception of anything to do with file or...

Sounds like you're swimming against a strong current. Perhaps Android isn't such a great fit for you.
