I bought my Nexus 5 last week. Coming from a Nexus 4, the Nexus 5 is pretty big already. I can't use it one handed sometimes, and I have big hands.

Nexus 5 is plenty fast, and a big upgrade from Nexus 4. Try holding a Note 3/4 to get a feel. Really not possible to use one handed. If you're ok with it though, go ahead.

I love my Nexus 5! Still up there for me IMO with current flagship phones.

Nexus user since Gnex.
[Nexus 5 General] kyzn:
Yeah, the size of the Nexus 6 is my biggest gripe. I think I'm going with the Nexus 5.

I have been trying to get past all the checkout security of Oneplus One, but I have failed. It wasn't enough that the damn thing was invite only, they had to restrict the credit card's country of origin too. -rant-
[Nexus 5 General] rjyama:
Check lazada, I think they are selling the oneplus one. Even the bamboo version is listed.
[Nexus 5 General] kyzn:
I haven't tried buying IMPORT items from Lazada. I fear that there maybe additional charges when the item arrives.
[Nexus 5 General] peeweew:
Hello again. I'm really sorry for the late reply.

I already flashed the tweak and it works. But as of now I can't provide the speedtest as I am currently in Bulacan and the signal is a bit low I only get .2MBps speed. Tried the sim with LG G3 to check if only my Nexus get the slow speed. It got the same speed, so its fine.

I am not experiencing any conflict with 3g or 2g signal after the tweak. Haven't observed if it caused battery drain yet.

I will try to test it again on Monday when I get to Taguig.

Attached a screenshot as a proof and will provide another for the speed test once I get a better signal.

[Nexus 5 General] nic025:
Wow nice! Gonna try that mod too. Thanks for the feedback.
[Nexus 5 General] peeweew:
Here's a speed test in Bulacan.

1.5MBps, not bad.

I think this'll do better in BGC.
[Nexus 5 General] swiftden:
It's really fast here in pasay.

Just a question

Has anyone here experiencing lag/freeze on stock 5.0 lollipop?

Known memory leak bug if your device is on for almost 48 hours. A reboot is a workaround for now.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] happiness4u:
Buset. It's so annoying pa naman. :D anyway, thanks for the info. I thought it's just me who's experiencing it. I'm on 5.0.1 now, stock kernel. Let's see if it would still froze up. :)
[Nexus 5 General] DrearierJester1:
Share ur experience with the new build.
[Nexus 5 General] happiness4u:
So far so good guys. Not yet experiencing random freezing/lag atm. Much faster than 5.0. Dialer bug also seems to be fixed. Still observing tho. I'll try to add up more feedbacks on 5.0.1. :)

Got the OTA 5.0.1 too. Will update if there are improvements. So far I have the wifi bug (wifi not sticking to our connection, and wifi always on) and memory leak.
[Nexus 5 General] happiness4u:
Yup. The memory leak is still present causing the device to freeze some app while in use. Not having that bug when I'm on data.
[Nexus 5 General] swiftden:
Tsk. Bad news.

Hi guys! I want to buy a nexus 5 but i'm having a hard time finding one. I saw one at lazada but I don't really trust online stores. And there are ones at greenhills but I have doubts that maybe i'll get a fake one. So can you recommend me what shops at greenhills can i buy one. Thanks in advance. Trust issues.
[Nexus 5 General] Einreb:
Hi Guys, I have tried literally almost all the cooked rom's out for our Nexus 5. For me stock is still the best specially stock or official ones.Stability wise? I always

go back to stock. Memory leak or lags are mostly attributed to what apps you use (kahit nman sa ibang brand ieg. HTC,Samsung) Battery leak?managable nman.

I expect it to last a half day in normal SOT, but,yes in gaming will not even last an hour or two.

But for the cooked ones, I think Cataclysm and Euphoria roms are the best Lollipop out there. Match those with either ElementalX kernel or

Franco kernel and MultiROM manager,this beast is just awesome. It still is the best phone I ever had since the early Android days of HTC Magic.

I bought my nexus 5 in hotgadgets makati branch. You can try also in ortigas branch.

Bought my ex's nexus 5 there greenhills

Sellers are legit, units came from singapore
[Nexus 5 General] !n0x:
I got mine (D821 +32GB) from a seller at OLX for a surprising price of 12k. Was in good condition too, screen protected and with 2 free cases (SlimArmor and Capdase).

In any case, I would want you to try out OLX, if 2nd hand is alright with you. Not sure with stores at Greenhills.

Otherwise, I'll recommend HotGadgets primarily because they have physical stores at Eton Cyberloft and somewhere at Makati.

Thinking of going back to 4.4.4, but somehow Lollipop draws upon me with its fanciness ;___;

[Nexus 5 General] whisper13:
I can't remember the name of the shop cause its a numbered shop just ask the nearest landmark to their shop :)

Units are brand new they even have other brands

For the Nexus 5 price

16GB 15,500

32 17500 (i think) or less

All colors availble when i bought mine, try to text the shop

No BS transactions with them :)
[Nexus 5 General] rygart29:
Using the number you posted earlier? Okay thanks sir
[Nexus 5 General] whisper13:
Last time it was near the escalator at the middle, but the shops rotate their respective stations so just ask what is the store number and look for it

Ex: J-11, that's the kiosk number of one of the stores but its just an example :)

[Nexus 5 General] ej8989:
For half the price of the new Nexus devices, yes the N5 is still worth it. But if budget is not an issue, go for the 6P. It has better hardware and you're assured to get official updates until android 8.0.

Heres the step to remove the wifi leak bro

Go to settings, wifi, advanced.. Click wifi freq band put it to 2.4 ghz.

Go to settings, location, the three vertical "...", untick all of those options

Finally if you have rooted the phone and you have a file explorer go to system, build prop..

Edit the line wifi_mp_scan_interval: and make it 180 to 497 it depends on you really

Signal Lost Issue

A lurker for quite some time and the tips from the other users really maximize my use for my nexus 5. Anyone from Manila who could recommend a good repair shop, as I need my mine fix since I keep on losing signal (lte, wifi and mobile)? My warranty just expired ago and when it was checked a few months ago LG explained it is a software problem, but when I have it checked again they said it is a motherboard issue & will cost around 12 K (ouch). Any recommendation would be grateful.

Guys can you help me? I just flashed chroma rom this morning and i wanna try elemental x kernel. Can i flash it directly or is there another way to flash it.
[Nexus 5 General] cheeze.keyk:
you can flash it, but i think you need to wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing the kernel.
[Nexus 5 General] jiyoohji:
Thanks. But after flashing elemental x kernel im having a serious battery drain :( dunno why? havent experienced this on stock mm.
[Nexus 5 General] cheeze.keyk:
try other kernel. im using blu_spark kernel now over chroma 6.0 rom.
[Nexus 5 General] jiyoohji:
Hows your battery life sir?
[Nexus 5 General] cheeze.keyk:
battery life is great! :good: give it a try mate. :D

I tried flashing blue spark but i got stuck on bootloop. :(
[Nexus 5 General] cheeze.keyk:
what recovery your using and what rom?

Beamed from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] jiyoohji:
Im using the latest build of chroma rom and twrp for my recovery
[Nexus 5 General] cheeze.keyk:
thats weird. are you sure you got bootlooped? it takes about 5mins. or more before the device boots after flashing the kernel.

Beamed from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] jiyoohji:
Is that so? Ive waited for more than 10mins and still it hasnt booted. Dunno whats causing the problem.
[Nexus 5 General] stankyou:
If you have chroma with elementalX, flashing another kernel on top of it would most likely cause a bootloop. You need to reflash the rom then the new kernel.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] phantom146:
Theres no issue with chroma or twrp sir,

The prob might be you have flashed an incorrect file, like flashing 5.1 kernel on an android M rom
[Nexus 5 General] ej8989:
This only happens to me when I flash ElementalX kernel, and then flash another custom kernel.

What you have to do is flash chroma rom again and then flash blu_spark.

Click this link for detailed info. Basically its about LTE bands. The D820 has LTE bands for only Smart while the D821 will work on Smart and Globe since it has the correct bands for both networks.
[Nexus 5 General] ickoicko:
Alright got it, anyone having the same problem as this guy has? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8h_L5Po-Uw seems like some units have some wobbly software.
[Nexus 5 General] niclegaspi:
The D820 version is the US version. It is compatible only with Smart LTE bands.

The D821 model is the "other countries" version, compatible with both Globe and Smart LTE.

I've been checking almost daily and it seems you can only buy the D820 version in 16GB and 32GB, but the D821 comes only with 16GB of storage (from the usual sellers: Kimstore, DBGadgets, etc.).

As of now, the LG store (in Megamall) does not know yet if they will release it or not. But they're a bit sure the carriers will be the ones to release it locally.
[Nexus 5 General] Flash05:
Oh no. I noticed that too. No 32 for ww model. ?

Wcdma ( hspa )

Hi Guys, got my 32GB Nexus 5 3 days ago.

Im currently not using an LTE Sim, since I have a company Sim ( Globe ).

Problem is, when I turn on DATA connection, I often time get EDGE only. I believe the phone uses whichever has the stronger signal on the area.

there a way to set it to WCDMA ( HSPA ) only?

TIA!!!
[Nexus 5 General] Flash05:
Install app called "network". From there you can change the preferred network to "wcdma preferred" to "wcdma only". If there is no signal lower than this, you'll lose signal/network. You can also type a certain number combination on the dial pad instead of using this app. Cumbersome though.

---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

Are you using d820 or d821? D820 isn't compatible with globe's LTE as specs say.

in their website it shows 16gb/32gb. hope they offer it soon
[Nexus 5 General] EarlZ:
I am wondering when smart would have the actual units on stock.
[Nexus 5 General] jtdc:
no radio, no radio app too. tune in radio only from play store, requires data.

also, 32GB is a better choice as there's no memcard slot.

anyone wanna try it out and check if it's legit? :))
[Nexus 5 General] Caloy_:
The ad seems very sketchy. First, it's just so cheap. No one's selling a brand new 16GB N5 for lower than 20,000 and this one's the elusive 32GB D821 for just 19,400. Second, there's the feedback for the seller. The seller and the two feedback givers all had their accounts made on the same day (Nov. 27, 2013). And the feedbacks were both given on the same day, just two hours apart.

So I wouldn't recommend anyone giving this a shot unless they happen to live near their store.
[Nexus 5 General] fyre31:
thought as much :( i really hope kimstore or widget city get some stocks of 32gb d821 soon
[Nexus 5 General] antz88c:
Got mine last friday from my GH suki/friend. I can no longer wait for the 32GB so i settled for the D821, 16GB, white.
[Nexus 5 General] jtdc:
no point in chasing for D821 if you are not data hungry, not always without wifi coverage, which is basically what LTE is for. was the 3G bandwidth already saturated by telco? i highly doubt that. even 3G gets complaint of slowness. its not the bandwidth, its the latency. i hope people knows the difference.

i just got D820 because its cheaper and instead of LTE capability i opted for 32GB. that, i can use. heck, rarely even 3G, but I do use GPRS. :)

Hi Guys, Mabuhay!
[Nexus 5 General] Sunil_k:
Why dont you guys check out Beyond The Box in rockwell. They will be selling the Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] Caloy_:
Judging by their web site, they seem to only sell Apple products and accessories. Did they say they'd be selling the N5?
[Nexus 5 General] fyre31:
we don't know how much the 32GB D821 will cost yet, but judging by the 16GB price of both D820 and D821, they aren't too far off (even the same). as for LTE, i agree that it's user dependent. for me, it's really useful. if i need to download a large file (and i almost always do) i just go to an LTE spot and download for 2-2.8 mb/s. this only applies for globe subscribers, though. besides that, having LTE capability will probably be a huge advantage a year or 2 from now when you want to replace/sell your phone. it could be a deciding factor for buyers.
[Nexus 5 General] Sunil_k:
Yes. In another forum, the owner of beyond the box posted that he will be selling the nexus 5 in limited quantities in their rockwell branch.

Got my Nexus5 from Smart's unli data plans. The deal was good, compared to what I've spent with my Nexus4 last year (purchased from MemoXpress)
[Nexus 5 General] Flash05:
What plan did you get from Smart? Planning on getting one too.
[Nexus 5 General] skramz:
Unli-data plan 999 (LTE) for 24 mos, you have to pay P14,400 for the phone (I used a credit card so its for12mos to pay 0% interest)

And the phone is unlocked, I can use my Globe sim on it :good:
[Nexus 5 General] Flash05:
Really? Unlocked, how come because nexus policy? What card?
[Nexus 5 General] skramz:
Yup, perhaps its because of Google's policy. Well it all started with the Nexus4, it had no network carrier locks as well on its launch. But the previous Galaxy Nexus from Smart was locked :(

Citibank Visa/Mastercard holder here :o
[Nexus 5 General] fyre31:
is it true they only have 16gb model?
[Nexus 5 General] skramz:
Yep 16gb only. Some people would find it small, but for me its plenty enough.

Even on my previous 16gb Nexus 4, I only occupy like 4gb-6gb out of the 12.9gb user available storage

I mainly use the phone storage for apps & games (custom roms & nandroid backups as well :o )

I dont do movies on mobile phones while traveling, I wont appreciate watching it on a 4.95 inch screen

I do very minimal music on smart phones cause I mainly use an iPod Nano (7th gen) for that stuff

And Nexus 5 supports OTG (I would rarely use this feature for external storage since I really don't fill up the entire 12.5gb user available storage)

TIP:

To make it read USB flash drives / hard drives you gotta have it rooted first, and then just install StickMount (free) from the Playstore, and just use any file manager app to browse through the external storage

OTG cables only cost P30 in CD-R king, and it works flawlessly on my Nexus 5 ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Flash05:
Oh ao root is still required. Didnt know n4 was unlocked as well. Gnex was locked but thats another story.
[Nexus 5 General] skramz:
Not necessarily, theres a paid app that lets you use USB external storage devices through OTG without having root access

But I might as well root it as it'll serve many purposes on our Nexus5 :o
[Nexus 5 General] Flash05:
I stopped rooting since ics because i most of my needs can be done without root. Anyway at least otg without root works!

[Nexus 5 General] skramz:
I was also planning to get the Nexus5 from MemoXpress (I bought my Nexus4 last year from their store) but the clerks said they'll probably have it on stock by next year :rolleyes:

I couldnt wait till next year. So I checked Smart's unli data plan offers. On the long run I realized I'll be spending almost the same amount within a year

The phone's package even comes with an LG warranty card for parts and service :good:
[Nexus 5 General] ichilouch:
Next year, January Maybe?

Did anyone here know if Smart Jump experience center in Megamall has a working unit on display?
[Nexus 5 General] edrickmph:
I dont know why you have to wait that long? I have the nexus 5 since first week of november and bought it hir at widgetcity. Very good online seller and much cheaper now at 20k. I had the gnex also bought from there and not even encountered a single problem when i use it for 2 years, so it really depends upon the user on how to use it. I think a warranty is useless. Thats one advantage of a nexus phone.
[Nexus 5 General] Flash05:
Warranty is important especially gadget isnt cheap. Anyway you're entitled to say that. I experienced different. No warranty and paid the price. It was a gamble. I hope it will be available early next year
