It depends upon the user. If you are not into learning, then dont attempt to experiment and u will brick the phone. I had my N5 into different custom roms already since november, and had not even had a single problem. Nexus is the pure ultimate android phone and its considered a developer phone. Its not an android experience if it will remain in stock.

Just sharing my experiences.
[Nexus 5 General] Flash05:
I agree with you in some points and will just leave it like that. Warranty for hardware issues like busted display, button, and alike.
[Nexus 5 General] skramz:
Haven't tried purchasing gadgets from grey-markets, but I know a friend who did. He bought a Nexus4 last Nov 2012, after 6mos it had a small dead area on the center of the screen :(

As we all now, nothing in this world is perfect (sh*t happens). So it wouldnt hurt to put a little extra investment on warrantied products ;)
[Nexus 5 General] aldyu:
Will an N4 to N5 worth an upgrade? What are the noticeable improvements? Would like to here from you personally here guys aside from reviews. And anybody here can confirm if the stocks from kimstore/widgetcity already are the revamp ones e.g. bigger speaker holes and tighter buttons?
[Nexus 5 General] skramz:
Yes a worthy upgrade from the Nexus4.

Improvements I noticed over the Nexus4:

-8MP OIS camera (make sure you update to 4.4.2)

-1080p display

-OTG support

-LTE (I'm using Smart's, and the coverage here is good!)

-Snapdragon 800 (better indeed, although benchmarks are very inconsistent compared to other flagships with the same chipset... You'll have to play around with its software like optimization mods, kernels and custom ROMs)
[Nexus 5 General] intersectRaven:
Not really unless you're a heavy camera user that prefers a Nexus device. Camera quality is noticeably nicer due to the OIS tech on the camera. Everything else though is not really significant enough to be noticeable unless you look for it. :)
[Nexus 5 General] aldyu:
Thanks guys. I rarely use the camera but I do notice that N4's camera is not good. What about the speaker, improved or just the same?
[Nexus 5 General] Flash05:
Possible to consider the battery capacity. Increase is still increase. :)
[Nexus 5 General] skramz:
Sound quality is about the same. Well at least the new location of the speakers is better compared to the Nexus 4's design

Yeah 2100mah to 2300mah ain't bad :p
[Nexus 5 General] fyre31:
Does anyone know of a shop in HK or SG that offers Nexus devices and can ship to the Philippines? I'm getting really desperate here for the 32GB Nexus 5 D821. LOL
[Nexus 5 General] edrickmph:
The 32gb nexus 5 is already available at widgetcity since dec 18. See their fb page.

Im just wandering why your looking outside since its already available here?

Only 22k+ for the 32gb black and 20k+ for the 16gb white with free nillkin case n protector.
[Nexus 5 General] kyzn:
They don't accept BPI deferred payment. I'm already out of funds. :crying:

!@#$%^& Christmas gifts.
[Nexus 5 General] edrickmph:
Hehe.. Its not my problem anymore.

I got the 16gb white. Very nice to complement with my diy ringke fusion clear case. To showcase the nexus logo at the back.
[Nexus 5 General] EarlZ:
The charger is speced at 500-1000mAH charge rate, what app are you using to see the actual charge rates?

------------

Any local shops already selling the SGP Neohybrid/Slim armor ?
[Nexus 5 General] kyzn:
I hate you. :p

On another note, I see that Applewerkz Inc just opened up in Megamall. Spigen Nexus 5 screen protectors and bumpers in stock next week (or so they tell me).

I just need the phone.
[Nexus 5 General] edrickmph:
I prefer the ringke fusion clear coz you can showcase the full nexus white logo at the back.
[Nexus 5 General] kyzn:
Three words, Spigen Ultra Hybrid.Though, I prefer the Spigen Neo Hybrid; looks more stylish. :silly:

I don't mind covering the Nexus logo.

If only MemoXpress would have the Nexus 5 in stock. I'd be all set.
[Nexus 5 General] fyre31:
They only have the D820 version. It's the one that doesn't support Globe LTE. Unfortunately, I'm a Globe Postpaid Subscriber, so yeah.
[Nexus 5 General] !n0x:
just some thoughts:

For the others who say to get the D820 32GB, I might as well consider that as a last resort if there will indeed be no sellers of it, be it official or gray market. I mean, not that I would rely on LTE much, but it's much better to have it there rather than to not have it at all, right? Globe subscriber here, and since I prefer to usually have just one device, 32GB will be my poison - I have the tendency to absentmindedly just put in music and videos in my phone from time to time :)

Waiting for revamped 311K/312K revisions of Nexus 5 to hit the market here in the Philippines. Hopefully, D821 32GB ones come in at least by January.
[Nexus 5 General] kyzn:
I personally don't mind the D280. While LTE support would be nice, I can live without it. Everything I need to download, I do it at home.

But the 312K builds, definitely. Hoping they would stock those models and soon.
[Nexus 5 General] thephantom:
A very merry Christmas to all. Stay safe
[Nexus 5 General] aldyu:
I don't think 311k/312k are revisions, there's only rev 11.

[Nexus 5 General] edrickmph:
See their facebook post on dec 20 regarding the free nilkin case valued at 900+. I think the 32g is for the d820. Just see the specs to confirn.

guys i have a question... regarding on a 32gb version i'm planning to buy this but in 32gb version the salesman dont know if the device is in 16 or 32gb is it possible that there is indication in the box if this is 16 or 32? without opening the seal i saw only is d821 version...
[Nexus 5 General] EarlZ:
Its on the box, check the bottom it shows the complete model number including the memory size.
[Nexus 5 General] kyzn:
Hot Gadgets is nearer my place. I might get mine there, they're also offering a 32GB, D280 model.

[Nexus 5 General] ickoicko:
So I'm here at smart jump at megamall and I am wondering why their nexus 5 unit's camera has no hdr+ mode on it. Is it a factory defect or is there an option to remove it from the settings? Thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] kyzn:
That's weird and very bad if all their Nexus 5's have that issue. I've decided to just sign up for postpaid plan rather than go to the grey markets.
[Nexus 5 General] ickoicko:
First time I went there, the hdr+ mode was there and that was 3+ days ago. When I went back awhile ago (actually posted awhile ago using their note 3) HDR+ was missing. I went back lots of times awhile back just to figure out how to open the hdr+ to no avail. I don't know if their devs did it because I asked one of their guys walking around and they don't know as well. Just my 2 cents though, idk if it's they locked it (is that even possible without rooting/flashing another rom) or the smartphone itself is broken. The phone is stock btw all through out.
[Nexus 5 General] kyzn:
You need root access to mess with the system files. And they can't do that, they already have exclusivity. Really pushing people to resort to shadier means to get the Nexus 5.

Hopefully, the phone's probably a dud.
[Nexus 5 General] ickoicko:
Yeah I figured that out as well. It's either the phone is a dud, or the phone was rooted and they think people won't realize it. Shame though, it's one of the phones that really attract people there at Jump and if they realize the system files have been messed around with (why remove hdr+ anyway?) it actually makes them less interested in getting one. I'd rather get one from GH; Thought I was dreaming when I saw the HDR+ icon missing awhile ago lol.
[Nexus 5 General] wicked1683:
Why Smart not offering 32gb version of nexus 5?what a shame, 16gb is not enough. Its better to offer 32gb and forget about 16gb... I will skip to nexus 6 if they dont have a plan offering 32gb in their postpaid plans
[Nexus 5 General] kyzn:
I thought that too. But then I realized - I don't take a lot of pictures, I don't watch movies on my phone, I only have an arcade and a GBA emulator for games and 2 hours worth of music. If I sign up for Smart LTE Postpaid Plan, I can sync other files with Google Drive as I live and work at LTE covered areas.

I just want the latest Android has to offer, a 16GB model is fine.
[Nexus 5 General] ickoicko:
They are testing the waters for the demand of N5; if it clicks, and a lot of people demand for the 32gb of course they would offer it too for a limited time only like twister fries in Mcdonalds
[Nexus 5 General] MLBHD:
are the white version already available at Smart? :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] batmite:
im selling a 32gb white unlocked Nexus 5 brand new sealed in box pm me if interested :D

Seems like 32GB D821 are more of a demand here. Now that, along with not much hardware chinks, would be a dream. :eek:

SOON i'll have this beast..i'll give my S3 to my mom..idk why i encounter reboots (3 - 5 reboots per day) but this day am not experiencing it soo...prolly by march or april :D its a nice idea for a graduation gift like me teehee :D
[Nexus 5 General] wicked1683:
Cant resist nexus 5, Even only 16gb, I get a postpaid plan on Smart.

This is what i can say... this is the smoothest, best multitasking and best android experience you can get! Cant believe Android is so perfect in Nexus device!

My previous phone was S3, touchwiz sucks, then i used CM, CM is good but lots of bug. Will never use non Nexus device again..

This is a beast, never been so satisfied with my phone

I wish we have a music cloud service here in Philippines to store our music online to save internal space
[Nexus 5 General] marniel647:
I also can't resist this phone but i still want to go on D821 model 32 gb.hehe.

I don't think music can eat a lot of space. :)
[Nexus 5 General] cotangent05:
you can setup your own little server.. making your own cloud storage. :D
[Nexus 5 General] wicked1683:
My favorite musics are more than 10gb in size.

Arw you referring to subsonic app? But that's not free after 30days right?
[Nexus 5 General] aeonix_05:
D821 32GB still not available? Been considering this device cause my s3 just got snatched and my globe postpaid still is active.

Got an LTE sim for replacement.
[Nexus 5 General] ej8989:
I had my uncle buy the device for me from Google Play US and the 32gb model costs $440 (approximately P19,000+) including tax and delivery to his place in CA.

I found someone selling a D821 32gb white locally but i think someone bought it already. The guy bought the device from Google Play japan. No brand-new D821 32gb on local stores yet (physical and online stores). I've been looking for one for over a month now. :mad:
[Nexus 5 General] ickoicko:
If I ask someone from the US to buy the D821 32gb version for me, how long does it take for it to be mailed here?
[Nexus 5 General] ej8989:
It depends on how much you pay for shipping. I suggest go for DHL or UPS if money is not an issue. Whenever someone sends me something from the US it takes a month (express mail). Ask them to buy from ebay or amazon because unfortunately there's no D821 32gb available on Google Play US.
[Nexus 5 General] marniel647:
I don't think US play store has D821 version as the D820 version have an LTE band that can be use in almost all US carrier.. Maybe Japan play store have the D821. The only problem is i cannot find any forwarder in japan that can be shipped in our country. :)
[Nexus 5 General] kyzn:
How long did it take before you got the phone?
[Nexus 5 General] ichilouch:
Where is the branch of SMART store did you brought your nexus 5?
[Nexus 5 General] Caloy_:
DB Gadgets is advertising the 32GB D821 on their Facebook page for 24,500.
[Nexus 5 General] wicked1683:
Fyi guys, for those who are subscribed to smart 16gb Nexus 5, if you don't want to store your music in Internal storage you can use a Box cloud account (mine has 50GB of free storage)

Then use "ES File Manager" and setup your Box account there. It has a built-in music and video player and you can access your music anywhere, works good :)
[Nexus 5 General] Flash05:
32GB D821 @ 24.5k is steep :(
[Nexus 5 General] ickoicko:
3k more and it's almost the price of Note 3.
[Nexus 5 General] wicked1683:
Believe me kabayan, you will regret on using Touchwiz :eek:

Android is at its best on stock
[Nexus 5 General] ickoicko:
Oh don't worry, I came from S3 and it still has a bad taste in my mouth. I was caught by the "jump in the bandwagon" bug and bought the S3 before without properly researching. Still undecided actually, waiting for the announcement of the HTC M8 or buy the Nexus 5 now. I just don't wanna regret ever again (yes the Touchwiz and Exynos and Samsung damaged me this much) :eek:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadMatt89:
So I got my new headset now and I gotta say it has a pretty nice sound, but there is one thing that really bothers me and I haven't read anything about it before I bought it and that is that you can't use the long press on the headset to adjust the sound???? Seriously? Everytime I long press the button freaking Google voice search starts. Is there any workaround yet or to be expected? I think this is really annoying and I couldn't find anything yet.

Thanks in advance for your help.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Logandros:
(I've only done this on a Barnes and Nobles Nook and a Motorola Atrix 4G both of which I was able to do my install of CyanogenMod via the ClockworkMod Recovery)

I had a friend come over with what he believes is a bricked HTC One X (AT&T). I don't think it is bricked as I can get in to the bootloader and fastboot. From what I've been able to ascertain, he was following these intructions :

wiki. cyanogenmod. org/w/Install_CM_for_endeavoru

but got stuck when it came time to flash koush's recover. I was also able to flash the recovery but when booting to recovery we get stuck at a black screen and the USB device showing up in device manager is QHSUSB_DLOAD which is a dead end.

Oddly I can flash and boot in to TWRP v2.6.0.0

At which point I'm unable to install any release stable or nightly of Cyanogenmod

Hoping for some help and direction...

From what I gather, he unlocked the bootloader using SuperCID Script. His bootloader is currently in the following state:

TAMPERED

UNLOCKED

and returns the follwing CID 11111111	, which I believe he altered in order to retrieve a token that HTC dev would accept. Sorry for my limited knowledge as this is all much deeper than I've had to dig with my Encore and Atrix devices.

Thanks in advance!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
If it is indeed the at&t One X (HTC One XL) you're dealing with the wrong cm page. Does it say Evita or Endeavoru in the bootloader? It sounds like you're flashing software for the Endeavoru, we really need to establish which device you have before going any further. If you continue on without knowing there's a high chance of you bricking the phone.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Logandros:
Thanks .. that is why I'm trying to give as much information as possible because I'm coming in to offer help .. way late in the game. I believe you are already shedding light, here is his phone's details at Bootloader:

*** TAMPERED ***

*** UNLOCKED ***

EVITA PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.14.0000
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Ok, you've been flashing the wrong software for the device. Are you still able to turn the phone on and reach bootloader? If so, great and you're very lucky! The first thing you'll need to do is install the correct recovery for the device. Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:

fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"

(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Now you can enter recovery on your phone. So it's very important that you only flash software that has Evita in the filename, as the device is an Evita. You need to make sure you stay within our forum which is here. And the two development sections within that forum are here for Sense ROMs and here for aosp ROMs. Only ever download ROMs that you find in links within this forum and your can't go wrong. Please keep in mind that because you're s-on you need to flash the boot.img from the ROM via fastboot or it won't boot. If you need any further help let me know.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Logandros:
Thank you very much timmaaa! I was so focused on his errors I never bothered to look back to where he started from and completely missed the obvious. I do have 1 question, before I start this and since he can no longer boot in to any stock software. Should I be worried about:

1. S-OFF

2. SUPERSID

3. Downgrade Touchscreen

Because as I'm reading the now correct Evita stuff, I'm noticing that most of these things should have been done prior to all this.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
S-off is a very handy thing to have, but at this stage it isn't necessary. You already have the correct hboot to qualify for flashing aosp ROMs (which I'm guessing you want to do because you were talking about cm in your first post), and Sense ROMs. You will need SuperCID to get s-off so I'd leave it like that. Right now it's probably best to concentrate on getting a ROM on the phone and worry about that later (you'll need a bootable ROM to get s-off anyway). You don't need to downgrade the touchscreen firmware to flash any recent aosp ROMs, that only applies to older builds. So basically, right now all you need to do is flash the recovery and find an Evita ROM to flash and you'll have an operating phone again.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] reddn1:
what is wrong: very slow charge, 1 hour on 'ac' charge with 2 amp car charger went from 10% to 26%. if the screen and gps is going the battery is draining instead of charging(i think faster than it is without charging). it will only charge faster if I cut it off then let it charge, which it is still not very fast.

stock i535, rooted and installed latest cm 10.2 nightly with MF1 radios. I immediately had a very slow charge (both with usb and ac cords, with the appropriate chargers) Also I do not have a data connection at first boot, I have to disable mobile data and re enable, then it works. Wifi is the strangest. Wifi will connect once, but then will not reconnect until you turn off wifi then turn it back on. But, that does not always work. I have tried the following to remedy it:

imo kernel

downgrade to cm stable 10.1.3 with appropriate gapps

installed paranoid android 3.99 beta 9/16 with 10/03 gapps

all with the same results.

Side notes, with every rom install, i did a complete wipe, with every kernel install i did a cache wipe.

CWM 6.0.3.6 was installed during everything ( i thought i upgraded to 6.0.4.6? in rom manager before the pa rom install, but i guess it didnt take)

Any ideas?

Thanks

Is there a way to disable this pesky notification? When you receive SMS it pops up even with a SMS messaging app installed. I have attached pictures so you can see.

Never thought I would have to make this kind of thread... But anyway. I was going to update to 4.3. So I updated to the new firmware. That ran fine and I figured I should wipe my phone. When I got to twrp I noticed the buttons weren't working. So I shut down and restarted normally. Phone boots up fine, but the screen still isn't working. Then I noticed that twrp had a new version. So I download that, but flashing from fastboot doesn't work. It gets to writing recovery then fails(remote: not allowed). I am s-off. SO CONFUSED

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peymank:
Hi,

I rooted my KFHD 7 using the Bin4ry method (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2351201).

Then I used Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.9 to install TWRP and FireFireFire. (now that I think of it, I think I did also chose option 4: install latest COTR Recovery) before I chose to install FFF.

Both steps seemed to go smoothly, except after KFU rebooted my Kindle, the screen won't come on at all. I hold the power bottom for 20-30 sec, or for 2-3 mins, but nothing happens. I have the factory wire adapter from teambalckhat.info. I was able to boot the Kindle into fastboot mode before all these, but now nothing happens no matter what I do.

These are the steps that I did:

- Installed latest JDK 7

- Installed Android SDK and updated and installed the updates

- Removed all old amazon, kindle, android ADB drivers

- Installed the amazon drivers (with the Kindle unplugged)

- I put Kindle in ADB mode and plugged it in using regular USB

- I rooted it using Bin4ry method and there was SU on my Kindle after this was done.

- I started KFU 0.9.9, chose options 3, then 4, then 5 (install TWRP recovery, install COTR recovery, install FFF)

- Then, the device rebooted into a brick!

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can tell me what to do. I searched all over the forums but didn't find an answer.

Thank you so much in advance!
