I read that Lollipop allows you to transfer the settings from one device to another. When I was seting up my Nexus 9 I was never given the option. I tried tapping it to my nexus 5. during the setup but the option never came up.
I can't see it as an app or in the settings. Does anyone know how to use it/where to find it on the Nexus 9?
Could it be that the functionality was only available in the Preview for Lollipop?
Another bit of functionality not available on my Nexus 9 is the ability to pin an application from the multitasking window. None of the tasks have the option.

I thought it was available!
"This information applies only to devices running Android 5.0 and higher. Tap & Go is not available for Nexus 9 or Nexus 10 devices."

Pinning is available, you need to enable it in security settings.
I got the transfer settings option on developer preview 2, but not on my Nexus 9.

Hi,
I have the old Nexus 7 with stock 4.4.2, and I want to enable developer settings.
I have found many references to Settings -> About (Tablet) -> And click 7 times on build number - but that simply does not work. I have tried tapping it 1 million times and nothing happens. If I tap "Android Version 4.4.2" in the same menu, I get the whole spinning K, kitkat, easter-egg game etc.
What am I missing? How do I enable developer settings?
I had searched for a good hour, but of course I find the answer right after posting the question. Only the FIRST user (tablet owner) has access to developer settings. I was using another user account.
Hi, I like PA roms but i miss the call statistics feature as i use this to monitor my outgoing calls.
could you guys please include call statistics feature in the dialer call history?
What statistics are you looking for? We have what stock/aosp has
#stayparanoid
Call Statistic that we can view how many minutes was there for incoming or outgoing calls. Within this statistic, we also can set date to view the statistics from certain period.. If not mistaken, i came from another rom (Slimrom) and the dialer got this feature.

Hi!
The statistics are available in the calls log.
- Open the Phone app;
- Click on the clock button, on the bottom-left of your screen;
- The third tab is Statistics.
Using the three-dots button in the Statistics tab, you can adjust the time range for call stats.
This call stats feature is part of AOSP Phone app, so it should be available in all ROMs using the AOSP Phone app.

Hi Alexandre,
In my case here i did not see the third tab. Please see the attachment..
This is weird... I do have the stats in my call log (see below).
It might be helpfull for others to help if you shared your version of Paranoid Android and phone model -- you may not be up to date or it may be something affecting users for your phone model only. As a comparison, I'm on PA 4.43 on a SGS3 ATT.

Yes check your version. I have GalaxyS2 and version 4.5-Alpha1 (latest update) has the Statistics tab.

Here the Nexus 4 with PA 4.41.. Also missing
My guess is, those who are reporting having call statistics are using legacy devices. So may be the feature is cherry picked. I believe all nexus devices with mainline PA support, doesn't have this feature.
I have seen many new features on Android 5 but it is the Screen Pinning that got me searching for two hours. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find something for Android 4. Is there any that does the same? I mean like apps or xposed module? I've got a rooted device anyway. I wish it'd be available for Android 4 too.
I love android. I am a Nexus 6 & 9 user and in the past I was a Galaxy Note user. No matter how great and better (to my opinion) android is in comparison with other mobile OS, there are some things that are missing and seem so crazy to be missing.
Of course me and you all (maybe the 5% of all android users ??) we can play with custom roms, mods and etc, but all the other users, especially the Nexus line users, find these things missing.
1) there is no stock file browser
2) there is no battery percentage on the home screen, without the need to swipe down
3) there is no Wi-Fi direct !!!! There is an option in Wi-Fi advanced options, but whenever I tried it with my Nexus 9 & 6, there was no success
4) there is no clear all in the multitasking menu, and before 5.X.X, with a reboot of the device the background process would clear, now they won't close until you close them. Imagine having to swipe 30-40 times to clear everything.
5) In the era of phablets, there is no split-screen!! 6 inch Nexus 6, and 9 inch Nexus 9 have no split screen to take advantage of these features.
Is Google ever planning to implement these features? Especially 1-4 seem to be EXTREMELY simple in an implementation level.
**As I already mentioned, I can find solutions for most of these problems (if not all), but I am wondering if Google is ever gonna bring these things by default to all Nexus users, so non experienced users will enjoy them as well**
The Nexus line was meant for developers from day one. Not the common users. Google isn't changing that policy.
It's why Samsung is the largest brand.Every single thing you mentioned comes as a default feature on their high-end devices. In fact, multiwindow was their invention. The NotePro 12.2" even supports 4 windows simultaneously.
And you've not seen Mutlitasking until you've tried Penwindow. (depending on which Note you had you may or may not already have.)

I tried out Note 1,2 & 3, and yes you are right. All those things are already in Samsung devices. Even more, they have something even stronger than WiFi direct, that uses mobile data if necessary to increase the speed (if needed). I agree that nexus is meant to be used by developers, but Google changed that character from the Nexus 7 2012 and Nexus 4, by advertising and promoting it through low prices in general public. I remember that I had a hard time to find Galaxy Nexus 32GB in my country and I went to Galaxy Note N7000, but after the 3d Nexus phone (Galaxy Nexus), nexus phones (and tablets) went balistic on line with many many people wanting to buy them.
Btw, I did not know that on pro 12.2 you can have 4 windows! wow! that is true multitasking indeed !
Thank you for your answer mate

Just to comment on multitasking/recent apps, there isn't a need to clear all as Android has significantly improved how this is handled. Only a small part of the tabs you see in lollipop recent are actually running. Android will automatically close apps to keep the appropriate amount of free RAM available. By "closing all", you are actually causing a longer start time when you reopen the app and causing apps that auto run to restart. Thus causing more battery drain and system resource consumption.

Thanks for that, how stupid of me, all these years I was fanatic about closing all apps as soon as I was done with an app. But in the long run yes you are right, it does actually consume more resources this way.
Hello all, last night my Nexus 5X completely **** the bed -- bootloader freezes seem to be a typical thing with this device, as most Nexus 5X owners are aware. At the time of its unfortunate demise, the Nexus 5X was running Android O Developer Preview 3. Until the Pixel 2 comes out, I've got an older Nexus 6 running the July refresh of Android 7.1.1. The issue here seems to be with the standard Google Backup Transport. Specifically, I can't get the Nexus 6 (on Android 7.1.1) to recognize any form of Cloud backup of the Nexus 5X (on Android 8.0.0) and so I can't restore the settings from the dead Nexus 5X to the very much alive Nexus 6. With older handsets I was always given the option to restore data from other devices that I had tied to my Google account even before Google switched to the Google Drive-based backup solution. Now it seems that ever since I put Android O on my Nexus 5X that anything before Android O just can't see that data. This was also the case when I attempted to revert my Nexus 5X back to 7.1.1.. Even though it was the same device, it wouldn't recognize the Cloud backup that was generated from Android O. Is this typical of Developer Previews?
My problem here is that the only previously-active device on my Google account was the Nexus 5X. It had all of my saved settings tied to it. When trying to configure this Nexus 6, I am missing out on my list of applications, custom dictionary, wifi networks, date / time preferences, and all of that other goodness. With all of that said.. Am I completely boned? It would be a shame to lose years of custom dictionary additions, among other things. I know it's not the end of the world but it's definitely obnoxious..
Thanks in advance.
