How do I get the rotation lock in my quick toggles?

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Isn't it already there just beneath Bluetooth?
Or am I reading this entirely wrong?
brotkasten

Not for me. I have WiFi, Bluetooth, Cellular, Airplane mode, Flashlight, Location and Cast screen.
I know the rotation lock is supposed to be there, but it isn't.

It should be to the right of airplane mode and above cast screen.
I have a Nexus 5 as well.
Quick settings are adaptive as you use them.
Dear google: let people choose what you want up there manually.

That is probably the dumbest thing I've read about Lollipop so far. Now I can't lock or rather unlock the screen orientation at all, since the setting isn't in the display settings anymore and I'm too stupid to find it.

I think it's under the accessibility section.

my brother just bought a droid turbo. anything I should tell him aside from good job?
Jzero

Yes, it's under Sound & notification > Notification > Pulse notification light
I used this guide as a good starting point for what crap to disable. Hopefully it'll eek out even more battery life this way.

Give him a high five for me.
depends how much you rely on Now, or use Now for location based things.
My traffic cards know that i drop my kid off at his day care on Monday's and Friday's, so my total time to work on those days takes into account the ride to his day care and back. Its cool and creepy at the same time. You wouldn't get as detailed data into Now with that, but if you don't use it, there is no big loss that I can think of
So I'm flashing my N4. Its been so long I don't even know what thats like really.
Anyway, I was following the Ars guide.
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/11/how-to-flash-a-factory-image-to-your-nexus-device/
What I'm wondering about is just how long it takes/whats supposed to happen.
I mean from the fastboot screen (where it says my bootloader is unlocked) I ran the script from a mac. And well its just been sitting there for I guess 20 minutes with no feedback at all. Its just sitting there on the fastloader screen so I can't tell if anything is happening at all.
Last time I did this (using a more manual method) I seem to recall some feedback so I knew something was happening.

URL?
if a firmware falls in the forest and no phones are there to OTA it, does it make a bump in the version pie chart?
lots of devices use the same or similar camera sensors... mostly made by Sony.
even Sony doesn't get their camera processing software done as well as others and they make the sensors!!!
the Note 4 and Nexus 6 have the exact same size battery too. software optimization matters.

Ok lollipop makes the n4 feel like a new device. The small touches are amazing, and I have had l on my n7 for months!
If anything the Nexus 6 has better software optimization (discounting the remaining bugs before launch).
The Note 4 only has the battery life edge because of that next-gen screen.

any news on 1st gen moto g?
And well its still sitting there. Nothing. Must be over an hour now.
Seems like the whole thing has locked up at this point. Wondering how I safely stop it and use this now.
it's just based on notification types now.
All, priority and none. Which kind of makes sense and is more customisable with the priority setting but is round-about and more confusing than the traditional loud/vibrate/silent.
So can you confirm <path_to_sdk>/platform-tools is in your $PATH?
And then you ran "./flash-all.sh" (without quotes) from within the directory where flash-all.sh is located?
Flashing my Nexus 4 now. Will have 1080p/60FPS parity between my N7 and N4... oh wait......
EDIT: Also, everyone just follow this guide: http://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-upgrade-your-nexus

Yeah. I started the script just fine.
Just nothing has happened on either end since, and its now maybe an hour since I started the script.
Though if I run adb devices now in another shell nothing shows up. So something is up.
Weird. Do you have access to a PC?
Well yeah you can't run adb commands from within fastboot.
Sounds silly, but did you download the correct image?
And there was literally no output (in the shell) from the execution of "./flash-all.sh" ?

silent mode? sounds confusing and redundant. like sd cards. how will normal people be able to understand the difference?
Your PC cannot see the device in question. USB debugging must be toggled again and if it is not working, you've got a USB driver issue.
to be fair, notes abound about much more efficient AMOLED screen's that samsung is using versus their older screens that they sell to others. So better hardware helps more then software.
Also (not to you Faceless, but to Op), the N6 gets good marks when its reviewed by professionals. Although they don't have a G3 review, nor a Note 4 review.
edit... i apparently need to refresh my page more often. Oh well.

I permanently banned my 6 year old daughter from using the PS4 for mistakenly sending grief reports as it's too hard to watch or talk to her
This was my thought too.
Yeah.
Anyway I stopped it restarted it and it started to work, though partway through I got a series of error messages:
archive does not contain 'boot.sig'
archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'
archive does not contain 'system.sig'
archive does not contain 'vendor.img'
It continued on and then said it completed. Its now rebooting.

Yeah it really is. Hassle free experience setting up.
Having Lollipop on my Nexus 4 finally feels so good.
Did a dirt flash of the factory image, skipped the wipe process. It's been a bit laggy, but I'll reboot and let it cool down for a bit and see later.
I'm just happy to have it on the N4 finally. Was jarring going between the 7 and the 4.

Well its now rebooted and installing stuff.
One thing I did wonder about was the fact that I had 2 factor on with google using authenticator and wasn't sure whether that would mean I could not get into my account when I first rebooted after the flash.
I disabled 2factor first to be safe, but was that necessary?

If you're gonna do that, then just flash the factory image now. No need to wait.
