So for those that are looking to upgrade to Android N, I thought it would be helpful to have a thread with all the bugs/issues we've found, so if anyone requires these apps to function they'd have a heads up. I'll keep the OP updated as people post new bugs and issues.
*Sorry guys, I no longer have my 6P so the below list is likely not up to date regarding the latest N developer previews*

Snapchat wont let me login
Swiftkey's text is bolded and if you change the display size in the display settings, it gets weird
Notification LED is not working
Noticed it gets pretty laggy every now and then, especially when typing. Did a fresh install to stock and got the OTA preview. That's pretty much it, signal kills itself every now and then and the phone tends to get a little hot. Wouldn't recommend you use this as your daily.
How do you guys get this on OTA? I haven't even gotten the March update on OTA yet.

Same experience as tluley51.
Additional I can say Light Flow doesn't work properly. The popular German banking app Sparkasse+ crashes while logging in.
Sometimes apps crashes in the background, the phone gets hot and starts to stutter.
Apps don't install properly from the Amazon app store (I use it because I got a load of free 'coins') They don't seem to be able to verify they've been purchased so don't work correctly.

Strange, I did a fresh install of the factory image and formatted user data, so I don't see why a factory reset would work. Can anyone else confirm before I spend all the time to reinstall my apps?

Which version of Facebook are you using? The full stable version, beta, or Lite? I have the latest stable full version and it works fine for me.
Instagram (beta), Facebook (beta), Fleksy (beta) and Imgur all not working lol

Instagram and Facebook official work fine - Instagram does give me an error from time to time saying something about a library not found or something, but it seems to work just fine. What exactly doesn't work on the beta versions? Can you not login, or does it crash?
Weather Timeline also crashing a lot.

Hi,
When I am on a data connection, if I open play store on my phone, I am able to download & update apps, but I cannot see the icons or screenshots that is displayed on any app's page. The screenshot area says "Couldn't load screenshots - Retry".
I repeat that I can download & update apps just fine.
Even the main page (the featured app page that appears whenever you start play store) displays images as grey squares, but the text displays perfectly.
However everything works perfectly on WiFi. This issue occurs only while I'm on data.
Thanks.

could be a few things, firstly what data connection are you how, gprs, hspda, hspa+ , 4g
secondly your signall strength, how many bars and thirdly if these are all ok, i think there might be a setting in either the browser or market to tell the phone whether to display images while on data connection, this setting is there for people with low data allowance, but this shouldnt be the problem unless you have previously changed this yourself, as it is set to show images default
I am on a 3G connection.
There is no speed or connectivity problems as I can download even large apps smoothly & instantly.
All web-browsing, internet radio etc, works fine.
It is only in play store I cannot see images & icons. I get "could not download screen shots - Retry".
If, as you say, there is a setting to not display images in play store, please tell me where it is ?
Thanks!
I have similar issue on my Nexus 7 after updating to v4.2.2
I have similar issue on my Nexus 7 after updating to v4.2.2. Google Play won't show any screenshots and Google Currents won't show any images. EVERYTHING else works ok.
Unfortunately, I still hasn't found a solution to the issue. Just living with it.
Does it work ok with Wi-Fi? Mine does. I only get the problem with data connection.
If you haven't rooted or installed a custom Rom, you could take it to the service centre, and see what they have to say.

I seem to be missing the Instant Mix on Google Play Music on my Nexus 7 as well as on my Nexus 4. Has Google changed anything here or am i doing something wrong. The Instant Mix Tab is gone and when clicking the 3 buttons next to a song the option is missing as well. On my Desktop i still have them though!
Any Ideas?

Same problem here. Also, if I browse settings with in the Play Music app, it's really really really basic. I seem to have lost all functionality in the app. I'm also missing all album artwork, but the website shows everything there. I tried clearing cache and app data but nothing works.

I'm also having this problem. I reinstalled the app and the Instant Mix and Shop buttons came back, but as soon as j pressed them, the app crashed. Upon reopening it, they were no longer there.

I figured it out, Google broke Play Music in the latest 5.2 update. Revert back to 5.1 and it works perfectly fine.

Solution for the Facebook video issue :
I downgraded my Facebook by uninstalling the current version and installing an older version. The version I have chosen is version 5 which allows me to choose in which app I can play the video on and gives me the possibility of downloading it as well
It looks old, I lost the function of adding a picture into the comments (can do it on PC anyhow) otherwise I am happy with this version
Here you can get it, (you can try newer versions for the video error issue) as I was looking for the version that allows me to download videos:

One solution I have read is to go to settings, apps then scroll to the all menu. Then scroll down to the bottom and disable xperia for Facebook.

I have the same problem but I can't find that setting, I am on .314.
I mean there is no "xperia for Facebook".
I found disabling that apo only made the videos work for a couple of days before they broke again
I am on YouTube version 5.9.0.13 and when I open YT it goes straight to "an error occurred." Tried clearing data, reinstalling, no luck. This is a shame because I love watching YT vids on the app, especially with this gorgeous screen.

Could try clearing data on Google Play Services and Google Services Framework + Uninstall Updates on the YouTube app then reboot and open up YouTube... See if that gets ya going again. I'd think it will

Hm... So the stock version works, but when I update I get the error again.... I think I'll just keep it from updating till its fixed.
I don't know, guys...the current YouTube client from the play store is working fine on my VG3.
I just checked. No problems with 5.9 0.13 at all, outside of the usual buffering when my WiFi is being sluggish.

I'm not sure either... Mine works fine on my G3 but I've seen some of the themers having issues with Google apps and that usually worked.
Google's been updating like crazy lately... Nothing new there I guess.
Yeah with 5.9.0.13 it goes straight to "an error occurred". However stock is fine.
Something different between our Verizon G3s then. YouTube 5.9.0.13 works fine here.

Are you running Xposed..., if you are disable it and reboot a couple times, could be from that. Just happens sometimes. If you're getting it that one time and nothing bad is actually happening don't worry.
Thanks. No, not running xposed. I may not worry about it if it's not affecting anything. Just see it on reboots.

Has anyone been able to get any other Android Lollipop apk files working? I cannot get gmail, google music, calendar, fitness, etc. to work on a rooted G3.
gmail, music, and others get the error message "application not installed because an app with the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed"
calendar just won't install at all, giving the error "not installed"
fitness installs but upon opening requires an update through the play store, but the play store is unable to find the app
I am running the latest version of google play services (6.1.83), on jasmine ROM with xposed installed and the "show all apps in play store" 240 dpi mod enabled as well as the G3 tweaksbox.
I could try going into the system/app folder and removing the gmail and music apks so I can update them, but I haven't tried it yet. mostly I'm concerned about the fitness app.
EDIT: I also tried the keyboard, and that installed okay, but any time I wanted to type any text the cursor would show up but no keyboard would show.
Thanks!

You could try removing the stock ones with TiBu then wiping cache and dalvic then try to install again.
If you back them up first using TiBu you'll be fine in case that doesn't pan out.

I tried this. Google music and lollipop keyboard are working. Fitness.apk gives the same error as before, Gmail quits on boot (repeatedly) and if renamed to Gmail2.apk, downloads an "update" from the play store that reverts it back to the 4.4 version (previously the farthest I could get was "welcome to the new gmail" and you can watch a video about the changes, but once you say "Ok, got it", it force closes. Clearing the gmail data prevents the force closing at boot, but will not allow the app to get past the "ok, got it" screen.

Do u happen to have the newest version of play store installed? Just checking.
Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk
I think so - I am using play store 5.0.32, play services 6.1.83. both install just fine on 4.4.2. I also tried everything with the previous 4.9.X versions of both, but that wasn't very productive.
I tried removing the gmail apk and all instances of com.google.android.gm, which I could find in /system/app, /data/app, and /data/data, then installing the gmail 5.0 apk or placing it in /system/app and setting permissions to rw-r--r--. Both of these result in a "disabled" gmail, which can be "enabled" in the play store. Enabling results in multiple force closes and the app cannot be opened. I wiped the app data and tried again to no avail. I then resorted to deleting gmail 5.0 through TiBu, and then tried installing directly from the play store. This results in a "version not supported" error during download, and the installation can not be accomplished. At this point I tried reverting to gmail 4.9, but it can't be installed, giving the "application not installed" error after going through the installation process.
Fitness.apk still opens and requires an update through the play store which cannot be found.
I wiped everything and reinstalled JasmineROM this morning to get a working gmail. I will update gms and play store to 5.0 versions soon.
The keyboard Force closes in landscape.

Yea the messenger seems to not be working for those on Stock ROMs, maybe someone has figured out how to use on stock if it's possible but I'm not sure myself, as I've said before I'm not on stock so it's working fine for me.
Hopefully once bump comes out and AOSP ROMs are available for the masses, messenger can then be enjoyed by more people.
