Really? I just do the twist motion to switch. That's still available to do luckily for me.
They removed the grid button from the quick toggles but would've been nice if they let you customize it. A portrait mode quick toggle would save me a tap.

a dumb question but if I use the APK version, can I still download updates through Google play?

No dumb questions!
To be honest, I'm not 100% sure. I'm pretty confident that you can as its still an official verison.
Come to think about it I'm sure I've also updated an app manually like this and then updated it on its next release (I think I did this with android wear).
I noticed the "subscribe to pushbullet updates" on apk mirror so did that for the Google camera. That way can get the update a little faster

Sure. I did the same thing with the phone apk a while back when it was updated to 16.0. Sometimes it just takes google a little longer to catch up with their own apps ??

So they replaced a really good feature (double tap to zoom) with double tap to switch cameras? I hope it doesn't do that during a recording.
Edit: So I have camera version 5.2 and it's the same as before.
They have improved noise levels in the photos recently, I liked that
Edit Edit : There's tons of new settings yay
Thanks google

Oh, No problem, you can choose if you want to zoom or switch camera! Do not worry

I always download APK updates whenever I can just cause I'm impatient. Android Police is quick on getting Google updates post with APK links. And yes, you can get regular updates through the Google Play Store still.
I would actually have liked the double tap to switch cameras with the video recording as I see iPhone Instagram stories doing it. It's cool to film something then show your reaction.

The one feature I am waiting for is to compile my own list of canned answers, in the order that I want. And how about keyboard support (just release an API and let developers build keyboards) instead of the stupid OK Google feature which I never use and is not nearly as reliable as it should.

THIS.
Been so long I almost forgot about it.
Although with the last update, they did make the notification pictures for group hangouts bigger, but not higher quality.
Dumb question, but does my phone need to be upgraded to Android 5.0 for the watch to be upgraded? Not that there is an update for my Note 4, but I may have to hold out because of one specific application I use regularly that I don't suspect will update right away for Lollipop.
I'd update for the battery life.

This is not a problem with the Moto 360, rather with Google in general and the way they treat contacts. Google apps default to a 96x96 photo. On your phone you can set a specific photo per contact up to 720x720 (assuming you have Android 4.1+) but that doesn't fix the underlying issue, and the contact photos don't persist to gmail or from Google+. This is a really annoying situation to me, as I like to set everyone's contact photo myself, and then Google overrides it with a 96x96 of the person's Google+ photo if that exists. I don't want the person's Google+ photo, much less a 96x96 of it.

its like any stock android device . all get the updates in the same time frame . not like OEM updates .
I'm running 5.0 on my s4
And I can already access the new features mentioned in the article. Being able to hide the top notification is actually really awesome, without disabling notifications on my watch I can see the entire watch-face. Very cool. The only thing that really bothers me now is that the words "ok google" are on the screen whenever I wake my 360 up for about 3-5 seconds. It's pretty intrusive and doesn't look good on a lot of my watchfaces. I'll post photos if anyone is interested.
I believe you are looking at the update they did a week or two ago, 4.4w.2, where the enabled being able to swipe down the bottom notification without dismissing it. I think the 'ok google' thing will go away, maybe with use I'm not sure, but mine isn't doing it at this moment and it was shortly after this last update.

I guess YouTube doesn't like the Note 4. A few threads on it in the general and Q&A section. Think like 10 steps to get it to work. LoL. Guess we need to ***** to them.

I figured out the force close. It was the old version of youtube xposed module.

Went through some debugging and to be more precise, the Xposed conflicting module is:
YourTube
YouTube AdAway seem work just fine and so does YouTubeAllowFullScreen HDMI.
Eventually the developer of Yourtube will update soon.
Most of Lollipops changes and design is a good refresh from what KitKat offered. Most of you may dislike it at first but personally, I'm finally glad to see changes from the old 4.0.

Awesome! Just herd of the update, and I dirty installed this without a problem. On my nexus 6, couldn't wait for the official update
Hi guys! If you have problem installing the YouTube material, you will just need to update your Google play services before you update to YouTube material design.. I just discover this by myself.. Maybe in my so many expirences force closing my YouTube.. Sorry for my bad English ?

Can't Find Google Lens

One of my friends who lives in USA recently got her Google Pixel 2 XL delivered. She got the unlocked 128GB version and is using it on T Mobile.
She can't find the Google Lens option which is supposed to be available in the google photos app.
She is getting the info icon in place of the Google Lens icon in her phone.
i have attached a screenshot from the photos app where you can clearly see what i said.
i have also attached a screenshot containing the software info of the phone.
Can anyone help?
Might need to update photos app? My Google Lens button is right where the "i" button is on your screenshot.

Negative, the website, APK Mirror, has the latest version of the Photos app if you want to grab it from there and install it, I would link, but I haven't posted enough to be allowed, lol.
Problem Solved Guys.
Updated the app and It's Fully Functional.
Thanks.
I completely forgot about lens, tried it on a few pictures and it seems absolutely useless. I had it look at a bottle of liquor, assuming it would tell me the brand, it labels it as "bottle". A picture of a church comes back as "landmark". Picture of the Williamsburg bridge "suspension bridge". Well, duh

Lens is available in at least two places. One is in Photos (not camera) and the other is Google Assistant. In photos, at the bottom of the picture of a picture already taken, from right to left you should see the share, edit, Lens and delete buttons. For GA, long press the home (center) button. When GA pops up, Lens should be in the bottom right corner. These have been present before 8.1, so maybe you were just looking in the wrong places. Read one of the many reviews on how best to use it.
Just sign in to photos app with your Google account, after signing in you will see the lens icon instead of info icon.

Global stable MIUI 11.0.4.0 is available for download!

Pretty much title. Still based on Android 9 as far as I know. I am rooted on 10.3.2.0 so I won't be upgrading until there's TWRP and Magisk available, but has anyone upgraded? How is it?

Oh nice, I guess that makes sense. Thanks for the heads up. How can I get the link?
I dont see some difference in FSG animations, anyway dont really like new MIUI, new font kinda bugs me for some reason, when charging that circle with the percentage in bottom is now gone, and i liked that, so much easier to see the % in the circle than how it is now, dont like the scroll in the settings.... dont really see whats "better" now, and now there are things that bothers me and did not before, so its a bad update for me, i dont know maybe i just need time to get to use to it. Btw scroll ss in chrome is working just fine for me.
lol either the server is down or the update got pulled off because if i check for updates it says that there are no updates available, but earlier today at work when i checked it was available, but was unable to download it due to crappy wifi speed.
will check again tomorrow
Because its a beta stable it's not pushed out to everyone.

Battery percent still show in my lockscreen while charging, maybe you can try to change to another lockscreen theme or you can turn on battery percent in status bar
yes, it still shows the percentage, but i was referring to this bottom part, it was shown in a circle before on Miui 10, and was so much easier to see the number of percentage
