Silly question..:p :silly:

Can we reuse glass protectors after it being used?? Like if I want to remove it from one device and apply it after 2 days..

:D:p
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Yes, you can. However, you need to be extra careful by not letting any lint get stuck on the adhesive side. You can even wash these protectors and reuse them :good:

First of all congrats to all who got their phone! Lucky you! :) I'm newbie here but I've read the entire forum.

Well I'm in a sort of dilemma, my friend is coming on 27th dec from US and is ready to bring one for me. But I'm worried about the warranty and the first lot having high probability of defective phones. So what do you guys suggest? Shall I ask him or wait for google to launch it here. But god knows when are they gonna launch it. I mean we all know what happened with N7 2013. It still shows coming soon. Please help me decide.

The packaging is different from what we see in videos... But this is it...

It does fit snugly on my phone and I have no issues whatsoever with this case...

Its just my hands on... More on it later...

It is also slim and confidence inspiring along with a transparent back for showing off!!!:D

No issue with any ports and my Sony earphone jack fits without an issue... The keys are easy to reach and very responsive... I've asked my friend to make me some custom images for my phone such as RDJ in iron man... Eminem... Stickerbomb and other stuff... Will post the images as soon as I get them... The thing is I can't upload all the angles and the images with my phone in the case and stuff as I'm using limited 2G and have bad reception... Also I don't have a camera(even though my dad has one) so can't snap them... But will soon as the camera is free and I get some way of uploading...

[Nexus 5 General] vksjangra:
Hmmm.. I also read some good reviews for digiflip and are cheap as well but the model I selected is currently out of stock on flipkart, so for now I have made up my mind on plancotronics, they are a little costly (4k) but are the best as per my 5 hour research on google :P

Please provide the link of Plantronics you are planning to buy.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
I'm talking about the over the head ones. Yes, the reviews seem to be very positive about those headphones except for the build quality.

If you don't mind waiting for the Nexus 6 and if you're comfortable with the Phablet sized screen (5.9" supposedly) and budget, I would certainly suggest you to wait it out. If you don't want to spend more than 30k, there's really no point in looking for other devices, Nexus 5 is made for you! :D

Besides that, these developer devices have a huge developer support even after a couple of years! So, you're in good hands over here ;)

Price of Nexus devices don't fall perpetually as they are already subsidized. IMO, WS Retail might be trying to push their inventory with a low profit margin and hence they were offering a few devices at 25k. Supply and Demand rules don't apply to our Nexus 5 :angel:

Are you on the latest radio/modem ??

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

It's plantronics mate :o

I assumed you were on a budgeted device and hence recommended those. Yeah, pantronics is a fantastic OEM for bluetooth headsets but the only problem is the low battery life. Almost all models have a short battery life. So, please do look at the reviews before ordering one (I guess you already have in your 5 hour search). :cyclops:

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
First thing to do to troubleshoot call connectivity issues is by flashing modems. If that doesn't help, dirty flash your current rom. If that too doesn't help, you need a full wipe.
[Nexus 5 General] jaferiqbal:

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Read all the threads in my signature to know everything there is to the Nexus 5. Read the rooting guide till you get comfortable with it.

To flash a modem, you will need an unlocked bootloader to flash the img file or have a custom recovery to flash the modem zip.

You'll find the name of the process there

I remember you were looking out for professional headphones if I'm not mistaken? Which one did you end up buying??

There are so many freaking brands to choose from! But none provide warranty in India :( I guess I'll just have to suck that up and go ahead with the purchase..

Currently I have the A-Jays Five/One+ in my mind or the V-Moda remix or even the Klispch X11's! Really confused ^_^ Looked at tons of reviews but all have mixed opinions :p

Even considered the bluetooth ones but the battery backup on each and every headphones isn't that good :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] eshopper:
Yep.. i ended up buying etymotic research headphones.. clarity is awesome not no bass so you wont get that thump feel even in those variety of songs.. plus they are deep ear insertion headphones and are very uncomfortable for prolonged use..

So that was in ear and I'm still searching for around the ear headphones.. and I'm totally attracted to bose noise isolation.. friggin costly so just holding my horses..lol..

I'm not aware of the models you have mentioned.

Ps: the reviews are always an individual perspective and you may not end up agreeing.. so do experience yourself before buying a costly one..

First of all, congrats on your purchase and welcome to the Nexus 5 club! :)

Here are some defects you might consider looking for:

1. Huge amounts of light bleed.

2. Dead / Stuck Pixels.

3. Check whether GPS locks properly or not.

4. Check whether camera focuses properly or not.

5. Set the phone to vibrate only and call to see whether Vibration motor works properly.

Hi vin4yak well still unable to make the deal on flipkart waiting for the sale on 5th aug at 2:00 so what your take now on the phone after hands on ,how is battery life and stuff and any prob noticed or any other glitch
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
I used the phone for 2 days and ever since then my Mom's using it as I had bought it for her. It's really fantastic and I have absolutely no clue whatsoever where Xiaomi has cut corners to push this device at such a low price. I literally tried finding hardware faults on it but I simply can't find any. May be the Screen is a little washed out compared to my Nexus 5. But then again, I'm running a custom kernel on my Nexus which has calibrated the display as per my liking. Apart from that, i'll give it 10/10.

Above holds true only for the hardware part though. About the software used, it basically boils down to the end user. I like pure stock android and my views about MIUI will always be biased. Even though I like MIUI, I can't stand it for long. Custom skins just isn't my style.

All apps and games I've installed run smoothly like they do on our Nexus 5 and I have no complaints about the same. There were some random software goof ups which I can't describe but nothing to worry about. I'm sure Xiaomi will fix them in the next MIUI update.

Okay, one slight issue might be the material used on the back plate of the phone. It's got an Aluminium like finish which doesn't feel premium at all. People who say that it's a Steel finish are completely wrong. Hence, the grip isn't outstanding. But it's manageable. Since my mom's using it, I've put it inside a Hybrid case which takes care of the grip part :) I have also ordered a Nillkin Tempered Glass protector for it!
[Nexus 5 General] Sukrith:
I have an ignorable amount of light bleed... Found a dead or stuck or something else... It shows white in grey and light background whereas nothing on black background... What is it??? Dead or stuck pixel?!?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Since it changes colors, it's most probably a hot/stuck pixel. Dead pixel would be black. I've seen some people fix this by calibration or by using some app, but I haven't got any idea how to do that. The methods right here in the XDA forums but I just can't find it.

About the light bleed, all LCD Displays have some amount of light bleed. Tolerance levels depend from user to user. If you want a quick suggestion, don't max out the screen brightness, the higher the brightness, the higher will be the light bleed.
