Since you're not aware of it, I wouldn't suggest you to go there as if something comes up, you could panic.. Backup all your data and sync everything and perform a factory reset the traditional way "Settings"..

However, if you do want to reset it via stock recovery, here is what you should do: (It's fairly easy).

1. Power Off the device.

2. Hold Power Button + Vol. Down button till the bootloader shows up.

3. Use the volume buttons and scroll to "Recovery" and then press Power Button to select it.

4. Now select format /cache and after it completes, reboot and see if it fixes it.. (No data will be wiped) If it does fix it, YAY! If not, continue:

5. Again head over to recovery and select Factory Reset and after it's done, reboot!

If this is indeed a software issue, then the above steps should solve it!

PS: If you only see a dead android logo in recovery and not the options, do this: Hold down Power Button + Vol Up+Down and keep pressing till the options show up (Format cache and factory reset)

So finally decided to get the N5!! :D

I am going to buy it from the local seller in Nagpur in 4-5 days.

I wanted to know which case or other protective shells to buy?? I have never used any screen guard or anything on my old X8 so dont know much about these things.

I don't think I will be able to get a good case at the local store so will probably order it online.

Any good case you guys can recommend in 1200-1500 range? Should protect well and also should not disturb the phone's look.

Any help highly appreciated! :)
[Nexus 5 General] eshopper:
i tried using recovery but the screen remained with a sleeping android symbol saying "no command"

i'm resetting the traditional way. :(

i hate re installing all the apps now not to mention i lost the messages.. i dont have wifi access now to backup to servers.. :mad:

You don't need to re-download the apps, You can backup all your apps using Helium.. : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup

[MENTION=5165311]vin4yak[/MENTION] from past 5 minutes i'm getting the screen message as erasing and nothing is happening

---------- Post added at 11:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 PM ----------

for using helium u need to root the device right ?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
5 mins? That's it? I had to wait for 35 mins when I did my first factory reset from "Settings". :D It takes a long time sometimes.

You can backup all the user app data using Helium without root.. You need root access to backup the System apps..
[Nexus 5 General] eshopper:
oh f**k... 35mins???

is this problem appearing for first time or its persisting from a while??
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
[MENTION=5409894]eshopper[/MENTION] Please Please Please don't terminate the reset process by shutting down the phone. You could be stuck in a bootloop if you cut it off. Have a little patience and wait for it to complete.

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------

It's random.. Don't know what it depends on.. I've done 3 factory wipes until now.. first took me 35 mins whereas the last 2 times it was done within 15 mins..

That's why I hate the Traditional Reset from settings..
[Nexus 5 General] eshopper:
my old s3 didnt take this long for a factory reset!!
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Nor did my HTC One X. It only took 2-3 mins. This reset thing is simply stupid on the N5, IMO!
[Nexus 5 General] srt99:
you still believe in benchmark scores after what samsung, HTC and other OEMs are doing..??!!

nexus devices never get higher benchmark scores..

other devices gets higher score than n5 because they have some trick which makes all four cores online when a benchmark is running so it utilizes maximum of the cpu..that is not cheating exactly but a trick to get higher score on benchmark..

if we have any custom kernel on n5 then we can make all four cores online while running a benchmark.. that will boost up the score significantly.

but it is useless to utilize all for cores cause it will drain battery and heat up the phone...even while playing high end graphic intensive games, only two cores are online...

what i meant to say is, benchmark scores are useless, they are there just to give an general idea of how powerful the device is...

about OEMs cheating on benchmark:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ2oIoZ3H2k

dead trigger 2 with ultra high settings on nexus5, keep an eye on the no. of cores available during game play..you will understand what i am trying to say:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2KNt4kG_GY
[Nexus 5 General] iamsachin:
True that. Benchmarks are as useless as they ever were. Benchmarks are only useful when you want to compare your device's current performance with a different kernel or ROM. Comparing different devices is fruitless I believe.

Samsung has been adjusting the thermal throttling to get higher benchmark scores. Even others are doing that. Totally not worth it.

yes thats right. International Shipping is 25$ extra and customs 25$

you can avoid 30$ tax by choosing comGateway or HopShopGo(Oregon warehouse)

[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
I asked a friend's sister. She was very paranoid at first but she did at last sent me her card details. She thought money would be deducted but that would have never happened as wallet is the most secure system. Anyways, I added her's HDFC CC and bam! it was added :D but.... 50 INR deducted. Wow, I mean 50 INR isn't any biggie... I mean come on it's 50 rs only, but that friend's sister trusted me and 50 rs got deducted from her card. :( Anyways, she told me to remove for the moment and add it when it is needed (when nexus 5 is available.) but she did probably lose some trust on me :(

Anyways, I have got some questions for Credit Card users who are using CC on play store:

1.> When I will add the same card next time, will it deduct 50 INR again?

2.> I have to buy nexus 5 as soon as it get's available , so when I do add the same card again , and buy the nexus 5 that google says costs 29,000 Rupees. Will I get any additional charges from Google or from HDFC bank side for the transaction ? Like 25 INR or something?

3.> That 50 INR - How much time it takes to get refund that amount?

4.> I have NEFT enabled for my PNB (Punjab National Bank)'s debit card, it I transfer 50 INR to her account, how much charges will I see from my bank side and her's bank.

Sorry for the n00b questions :P
[Nexus 5 General] udsi08:
i am regular user indian credit cards and american too, recently I bought 2 nexus 5.

once you add Google will charge 1$=50 or 62 rupees, this will just authentication purpose only. if you look at this money never shows in statement, as they will refund after authentication is success and gets reverse it :)

How trustworthy is snapdeal?... Never bought anything from there...
[Nexus 5 General] Harsha Raj:
1. AFAIK yes.. Each time you add a CC or DC it will deduct Rs.50

2. I don't think so. You will be swiping your card for whatever if the final amount shown in cart.

3. I have used my dad's and mom's cards.. So i haven't checked their statement to see which it was refunded ;)

4. If at all there are changes of NEFT, while finalising the transaction you will be shown how much of charges will be made for such transfer. For SBI it's around 10-25 bucks.

And IMHO you should have told your friend's sister that whatever charges are coming up in bank statement, you will pay her in upfront. Even my cousins are afraid to give me CC to online transaction no matter how many times I assure then it's okay :p

[MENTION=5165311]vin4yak[/MENTION] reset is done and the whole data is wiped.. still unable to unlock after locking the phone..

guess i have to visit service center tom morning..

seriously i miss a home button and a removable battery now :(
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
What good is a removable battery?? I still don't get it. If and when the battery shows signs of wear after few years, then you should worry. If you want multiple charges, then you can use a portable powerbank..

Why do you miss the home button?? :eek:

Yes, factory reset will completely wipe the phone.. Didn't you take a backup? :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] eshopper:
i copied the required data into my system..

removable battery is useful when ur touch screen is not responsive.. so that you can take it out and replace to switch on..

homebutton is required to switch on the screen when the power button is hanged up..
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Never in my months of heavy usage has the touch screen gone completely unresponsive..

Even if it goes for you, all you have to do is hold the power button for 5-10 seconds which initiates a restart.. And it's not software based, it's hardware.

Same goes for the home button... Instead of using home, you use the power button on the Nexus 5.

replacement of battery & 'cold' reboot & things like that...

but apart from that, why do you think phone manufacturers are coming up these days with closed enclosures?

and why do you think batteries never actually at 0 even when your phone powers down?

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:

Replacement of battery you say? I've used non removable battery phones for years now and not once did I find the need to change the battery. If I'm going on a trip where I don't have access to chargers for a day or two, I carry a portable power bank.. Yes, it may not be as good as carrying a fully charged replaceable batter, but hey! Who travels all the time where they don't have access to changers? Lol.. On top of that, if you have a power bank, you can also help out your colleague as well.. Lol

I find enclosed batteries much better than removable ones. Removable back means more lint getting stuck inside the gap between the back cover and bezel. It simply looks terrible, like on our Nexus where lint gets trapped pretty easily between the lcd and bezel.

Another thing is that It gives a unibody kind of feel to the phone which is very pleasing.

Obviously phone manufacturers are trying to sleek up their devices by making it more and more compact and the other reason is just plain money... If you have a replaceable batter, I could get one dirt cheap locally and use it while a non removable battery needs to be taken care of at the service centre itself which costs much more.

However, that's a question to be asked after 2 years if and when the battery starts to degrade.

Nope, I haven't... The seller had clearly said that it will take 20-25 days...

no, not everything, for example this: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/MOQ-...n-Protector-Film-For-LG-nexus/1467811195.html

is an original product, you have to see the seller's rating and description, much like ebay, reputed seller would mention in the description if the product is genuine or a copy, genuine products are cheaper here because they order in bulk, which saves them cost and hence are able to sell at a lower price. If you have experience in operating ebay, then this site is similar. :D

And for the username, thanks.. :angel:
[Nexus 5 General] mrcreativity:
And that skin just fits on the back of the case? No modding necessary?
[Nexus 5 General] rl421403:

That's what I wanted to say, it's exactly like ebay. People selling genuine product as well as cheap copies.

I think ebay sellers are buying from this website.
