This is your second submission of it after https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8838578 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8838578 I agree this may haven't been resolved nicely, but hidden extrapolation from a few employees to the whole company is not cool on your side either. There are people in there, working their butts off to make one of the largest open source projects better.

There is also another employee who marked a disfunctional telephony on a phone as "Priority-small." I think we're seeing a pattern here.

  Where does an employee mark it small? Changes to issue state end up as comments and I don't see one. It looks much more like issues in that tracker start as Priority-small and no one upgraded it.

  I refer simply to getting angry at the whole company for action of a subset of employees. That's so common today and makes me think I don't ever want to own or work for a large, multi-project company. I do agree it's by no means a small priority ticket and not one that should be closed without a fix. Although there is a solution mentioned in https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82949#c440 https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82949#c44... which actually worked for me.

  I think they're handling this poorly and that for a company as big and rich as google, "we only have so many people fixing Android 5 bugs." is a pretty weak excuse. That said, I bet google knows better than we do how many active Nexus 4 users are still out there, my suspicions is - not many. Here's my guess - they prioritize bugs not just on severity but also based on number of users impacted, and who those users are (in this case, people who are still using a phone that was discontinued over a year ago, have manually updated their phones and then reported a bug in the AOSP tracker. a demographic I suspect is going to be very hard to satisfy no matter what). I'm guessing they hope that people will take this problem to the carrier they bought it from (if they got it from someone besides google), contact google play store customer support (who have always been helpful in my experience), downgrade, or just move on and buy a more recent phone.

Funny that you got downvoted considering the OP is a new account that seems to have been created to post this exact story.
