Head over to settings-apps-all and then clear app data and cache of Google services framework, google services and playstore... Reboot the device and if you're lucky, you'll get the ota.

That's absolute waste of time, its a bug which I've observed in 4.4.2 and its carried to 4.4.3. This needs to be fixed up by Google there's no fix to this atm, or may be use some custom roms out there.

I have purchased dbrand skins 5 times(Including brother+an uncle order).

2 times Orange true color Back + Black Titanium front+sides. (My previous setup)

Silver titanium full set.

Red true color back + black titanium front+sides.

Red carbon back + black matte front+sides. (latest order and my current setup)

I got all my first 4 orders for 1350 (all with coupons)

Got the latest order or red carbon fibre one.. for 1560. This is including shipping and customs. Price hike because of their new website launch and no coupon system launched. Unfortunately I missed the 50% sales aswell.

Just remember, silkwraps is ****. I don't want to argue with anyone here, I have had my share of experience with both and that's the only reason why i prefer dbrand. If you or anyone wanna go with silkwrap, please do, but don't quote me here.

I only have nexus 5 with me right now and samsung guru :P so can't paste pics... May be later. But I can link you to dbrand official reddit account pics which represents the real life pics. Not much difference.

What's the safest and simplest method to unlock and root a nexus 5 running the latest Indian 4.4.3 version.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Follow the stickies in the General Section! Steps written over there are the safest to use.

PS: Learn a thing or two about adb/fastboot and unlock/root it the traditional way instead of using toolkits which might do more damage than any good!

I agree to this instead of using toolkits. With the traditional method atleast I can see what is happening. :)

[Nexus 5 General] jrjk:
I'm not saying people shouldn't learn how to do this manually, but toolkits are foolproof now, and so, I don't understand why people go around spreading FUD. Some prefer to do it manually, some prefer the toolkits, and you can recommend whatever you want. Just don't let your toolkit hate spill over.

I've been using toolkits for >2 years now, and never have I bricked my devices or done them any harm.

Guys need help from all of you, I am using a N7000 Note 1 from a year, now I want to buy a new phone before I go to college so I have shortlisted a few phones, Nexus 5, Note 3, S5 and iPhone 5s. what I want from my new phone is to be on the latest OS either android or iOS. Support of Devs for long time. 4g and better camera and smooth UI.. so please help me, you all advice me..

thanks

forgot about note 3 and s5 if you want 4G .. (if you are going to buy indian exynos devices)

only iphone 5s and nexus 5* are 4G supported here in india ..

and custom rom updates takes some time to get stable , so either go for nexus 5 or iphone 5s , but regarding the price , i suggest you to get nexus 5 and save alot of money and after 2 years sell nexus 5 and buy another phone with that saved money

Having used both for two to three months, I can say that the note 3 is definitely a better phone overall. Bigger screen with beautiful color because of amoled, much better battery life, EXPANDABLE STORAGE, Better camera. 3gb of ram also ensures better performance.

Then agian, touchwiz is absolute crap. Ugly, laggy. Stock android is beautiful. The nexus 5 is a much easier phone to use in comparison to the note 3. And imo the nexus 5 in white is stunning, although the black note 3 looks quite good too.

Tl; dr

Note 3 if you're a multimedia freak. Nexus 5 if you want a phone that's easier to use, is simple and beautiful.

Are you sure Nexus 5 supports 4G bands in India?. I was thinking it doesn't support.
[Nexus 5 General] amrit94:
yes it does..
[Nexus 5 General] hacksome:
Ok. Let me try it out at home. I have an Airtel 4G broadband connection.
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
what ????? broadband and mobile data are two different things...

n5 does support ac wifi band so it will give you the max speed of your 4G broadband connection ...
[Nexus 5 General] fusion123:
Airtel 4G LTE will not work on Nexus 5 as Airtel LTE works on TDD-LTE Band 40 (2300 Mhz). This band is not supported in the Nexus 5. However, DoT and TRAI have realized that this band is pretty much obsolete and most of the Asian countries support FDD-LTE. Also the recent spectrum auctions that took place in India were of 1800 MHz band.

Reliance Jio is planning to start their 4G on this band, which is supported by Nexus 5. Going forward, Airtel will also divide their spectrum between 2300 MHz and 1800 MHz. Till then, the LG D821 version which is for rest of the world (except US & Canada), will not support Airtel 4G LTE service. Hope the info helps.
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
thanks for the info ..

but i m confused that whether he was talking about Mobile broadband or home connection..
[Nexus 5 General] :
He was talking about a data card. Data card use a simca with 3g/4g for accessing the Internet on laptops /desktops.
[Nexus 5 General] hacksome:
lol. I meant exactly that.

Just tested by taking out the SIM card from the 4G router and putting on Nexus 5. No LTE for now.

Confused between ringke fusion and official bumper case?

Which one is better,my choice goes to official bumper,the phone feels sexy but i have to take care about the protection.

Would my nexus 5 survive a drop without any damage with official bumper on
[Nexus 5 General] hacksome:
I guess those cases you've mentioned are a little overpriced. I am using a CruzerLite case. It is similar in function to a 300/- case. Just bought it for the Android patterns at the back.
[Nexus 5 General] gamer.11:
been using ringke from day 1 and loving the slim profile. sure its pricey but it did help when my phone fell flat on its face two to three times.
[Nexus 5 General] anshmiester78900:
Thanks for the info man really helpful.
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
I am using the Ringke Slim case from day 1, its very slim and doesn't add any bulk to the phone. Though I take a lot of care of my phone but once it dropped from a height of 5' on hard surface. I guess the case absorbed the shock and nothing happened to the phone. Only a hairline crack at the corner of the case. Now I bought another 3 cases but I keep coming back to my Ringke Slim only. :P

From a lot of reviews I have heard the Spigen Neo Hybrid is really good. I don't mind spending extra for a quality case which will protect it well..

Ringke and spigen are a little overpriced but so is the official bumper case.My question still applies,want to know if the official bumper have drop protection same as ringke fusion?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Ringke is overpriced?? :eek: I don't think so.. It's quite reasonable. No, the official bumper is only an eye candy and offers little drop protection. There's no comparison between the official bumper and spigen/ringke fusion. I have seen quite a few posts where people's screen has smashed even though they had the bumper on.
[Nexus 5 General] amrit94:
it's 899 on amazon,that's pricey for me..:P...As far as i have nillkin the official bumper doesn't have to worry much about the screen,what about the drop protection of the official bumper.I read that there was dust problems in between the back plastic and the phone in ringke and spigen is bulkier than ringke.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
What do you mean by "drop protection" if you're not talking about the screen?? If you mean the body, then the official bumper will protect it. Be it ringke or spigen or any case for that matter, lint will get trapped from the slightest of openings and you will need to clean it once in a while. Yes, spigen is bulkier than ringke.
[Nexus 5 General] eshopper:
I've lost the texture in the edges of the phone on bezel due to ringke.. waste of money if your are switching the cases frequently..

If you can spend around 28k for a phone, what's wrong in spending ~1000 for a case! :P

My nexus 5 gets restart automatically sometime .what should i do. Also when it restart the battery percentage gets dropped by 5-10% example if battery percentage is 50% before restart than after restart its 45%. Should i rma my device or its normal.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Are you rooted? Did you check whether any app is causing this? Stock rom? Kernel??

Battery falling by a few % is normal as rebooting takes a lot of juice.. But a 10% drop is certainly abnormal if it happens all the time.
[Nexus 5 General] amrit94:
by drop protection i mean't only body..I saw recent post on this thread only by techimplant or eshopper or someone saying that he damaged his nexus 5 body when using the official bumper case..

Is it advisable to buy those cheap duplicate cases of ringke and spigen from aliexpress.Doing any good?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Backup apps using Helium and copu /sdcard content to your computer and factory reset the device. After it's reset, don't install any apps for a few days and take a look at the battery stats after a few battery cycles.

NOPE! Those are totally garbage.. It will scuff up your device pretty bad.. I had bought the Spigen one few weeks ago and I didn't use it even once.. The quality was pathetic to say the least.
[Nexus 5 General] desihu:
Nilkin or alternatives at gaffar

Anyone knows place where to get the original Nilkin glass in Gaffar (not online). Checked with few but no response.

I am fed up with the cheap ones as they are neither a complete fit n are a fingerprint magnet. I would not advise anyone to get the cheap ones unless used as a standby or for matter urgent.

Any other nilkin alternatives are also welcome.
[Nexus 5 General] gamer.11:
i dont know much about over pricing but the protection they give to you device is so much better than the official case. as price increases so does the level of protection(not true all the time but still....)

[Nexus 5 General] anurag4444:
I am also thinking of rma. But i am afraid of the replacement device will be new or refurbished one. Every thing is ok with my current phone the only problem is that it restarts sometimes without any reason. I am stock and also tried factory reset no improvement. Please send me your feedback after you get the replacement device. Also what is the process for rma.
[Nexus 5 General] anirudhnyg:
I have RMAd 3 times till now ...my First purchased phone had a yellow tint so RMAd and got a worse phone with lot of backlight bleeding ... I called them up the day they sent me the phone but they said they will not replace the device for light leaks as it is normal in LCD phones .. so I was using that for a while then about a month ago it started flickering when it was charging so I called them up and I was given an other RMA. I told them strictly that the device I got as replacement previously had a so many issues and was like a device that some one had used and RMAd previously and that I want a new one this time .. so I was sent a brand new 404 K model ! which is perfect !

They usually pick up the phone within 2 days after you get the mail with the RMA details

and they will ship a new one the same day they receive the phone at the warehouse . it will take maximum 5 days for the replacement to complete

Google Customer care is generally very good .

you just call them up and explain your issue and they will tell you to do a factory reset .. and use your device in safe mode and stuff .. but if u explain them that u have already factory reset your deice and it is still the same . they will send you a mail with RMA form and tell you what to do
[Nexus 5 General] ayush29k:
Hey guys, i am thinking of buying the N5, i have a couple questions before i buy it.

1. Should i buy from the play store or from online vendors like ebay or amazon, they are giving good discounts.

2. Should i go for the 16gb version or the 32gb?

How much formatted memory do we get in both of them?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
1. If you buy from Google, you will have the power to RMA the device if you find any hardware faults.. If you buy elsewhere, LG will cover the warranty.. There's no RMA.

2. I would strongly suggest the 32gb model if you root, flash roms as a simple titanium backup can go upto 500mb.. and a nandroid backup will be anywhere between 2.5-3gb.

Besides that, if you play games and use the device for entertainment purposes like listening music and watching movies, 16gb will really leave you stranded. 16gb has around 12.5gb available and 32gb has around 26.5gb available.
[Nexus 5 General] anirudhnyg:
I think buying it from play store will give you the benefit of better customer support ..

You will get 26.76GB available memory in 32 GB version.
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
i bought my n5 from amazon . in 26500 .

great deal ..

and btw 16GB is kinda enough ..

you dont have to keep your nandroid backup in your phone .. after all its your phone not external hdd [emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]
[Nexus 5 General] anurag4444:
What should i do so that i get a new replacement and not a used or refurbished one. Also mine is an older version with smaller speaker grill holes
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Call google support and tell them your issue and they will initiate the RMA.. They send brand new phones when you RMA (according to them).

There is no older or newer version.. Small/Big speaker holes are random.
[Nexus 5 General] anirudhnyg:
^^ as he said... there is no different models ... its all the same but according to my experience the ones with serial number starting from 4 have the best quality with 0 defects .

Google does say that all replacements are new devices but the wearhouse people seem to recirculate returned device if they found there are no major problems in the device. we can never know ...

just tell them that your friends have got refurbished or used looking devices when them RMAd .. and that you want a new device .
[Nexus 5 General] inder swami:
Hey guys..

If the screen is shattered and i replace the display from the LG service center... Will my warranty be void?? Or can i RMA my phone after that too??

[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
Shattered/cracked screens are not covered under warranty.

But as u mentioned u have already replaced it through cervice center.. no need to tel that to google.. .:p
[Nexus 5 General] :
Memory allocation does not depend on Internal Memory. It depends on which runtime you are, Dalvik or a ART. Dalvik takes less memory for apps while ART needs more!
[Nexus 5 General] inder swami:
I'm not doing RMA for screen cracking.. There is other problm.. Including this one:-

I have a white model and the Display is of the black variant... So its kind of look bad.. So all i'm saying is that the google guys will get to know about the screen eventually... Than why not tell them by myself??
