Your knowledge is really really week.

See this and stop arguing.

http://m.gsmarena.com/googles_nexus_5_gets_a_hardware_refresh-news-7363.php

Now see and clear ur eyes and realize that ur knowledge is too week.

I don't know what is going on.

Newbies coming and they don't know past and they saying their self good knowledge.
[Nexus 5 General] Sumit.K:
I don't know whats your argument about but if I were to believe the post from GSMArena, I should have got the power button fixed. It turns out that my phone is a 403K batch device, which I believe is the latest, and I've still got the power button loose. Not sure about the speaker holes though. So it totally depends on the manufacturing process to have a device with or without the power button rattle.

About the knowledge stuff, there are many users, including me, who use Nexus devices and don't give a damn about the development and custom ROM's since they prefer to use what comes out of the box. This doesn't mean that their knowledge is weak about the device.

I guess the argument should be done in a healthy manner since we all are here to help each other and not flame anyone who doesn't agree to our point.

Guys, can you please suggest a car charger for Nexus 5? I have little to no knowledge about them and need one badly. I hardly get time at home to charge my phone and need a car charger.

Guys can we please stop arguing? This is not the place to behave like this. I don't care who started the argument but it has to end. Anyone else arguing will be reported.

I had bought a Belkin car charger when there was a heavy discount going on... You could buy one of these cheap ones from tradus though:

Just make sure that the car has appropriate fuses installed and don't crank up the engine when you are charging... You should be good to go :good:

Hey guys..

Im considering an upgrade from SGS2 to Nexus 5.. having read a lot of posts in xda forums, it seems like battery life is inconsistent (maybe?)..

Can anyone tell me hows the battery life on 3G?

And how long does it approximately take to charge the phone? Im thinking of getting a power bank with the phone!
[Nexus 5 General] nexus_18:
you are partially right

Let me just diffuse the issue here with the latest spectrum auction in 1800 Mhz and 850-900Mhz band we nexus owners can rejoice with the fact that 1800Mhz Band 3 and 850Mhz band 5 is supported on D821(rest of the world) variant.Idea is planning to launch LTE on Band 3.Videocon in Band 3 as well as Band 5 depending on the location and their spectrum holding in that location.However Airtel which has 2300Mhz (band 40) has also bought spectrum in 1800Mhz (Band 3) in Most areas they already have 4G LTE with voice on CSBF technology on 2300Mhz (Band 40) in Bengalooru(Bangalore). since LTE on 1800Mhz requires less number of towers (almost half the number of towers than band 40) they have also bought 1800Mhz spectrum and the formula is to have LTE on both band 3 as well as band 40.There is New white paper suggesting for telecos that a mix of TD-LTE (band 40) and FD-LTE (band 3) is the way forward.another observation is that FD-LTE on 1800Mhz on Band 3 is the choise of most of the telecom operators in in the world.

So keep your fingers crossed as LTE might be available on Nexus 5 after all, but you may have to wait till 2015 or 2016 to get even any LTE to have a decent coverage in india.

Hi, iam a Nexus owner having played with this phone for over two weeks i can say that the battery backup is better that a samsung galaxy s3 which i previously usd with auto brightness 2 hours of web browsing on wifi gmail running in the backgroung occasional gaming i got display time of 5 hours and 20 minutes the over all battery life was 100% at 7 am when i unplugged the charger was 10% at 11pm when i put the phone to charge. another thing to note is that the travel charger that comes with the device is really fasy the charging on the nexus 5 in general is very fast too from 0 to 100% is 2 hours maximum so if you charge just for half an hour in the afternoon even the heaviest user can breeze through the day.
[Nexus 5 General] peRFect!:
thanks for replying.. I am going to choose between N5 & G2.. and the battery life is the only concern.. but if it's better than S3 then it is fine..

Have u used the phone whole day on 3G? Cos that's a major issue with my S2, bad battery life with 3G on..
[Nexus 5 General] aceian:
If battery is your concern then its safe to get G2. N5 has better battery than S2 for sure as I have come from S2. But G2 has more backup than N5 for sure.
[Nexus 5 General] peRFect!:
That's true.. 3000 mah battery is seriously big!

That said, I just can't stand the optimus UI.. and these skins make the phone slow..

I really love N5, but im frustrated with phones having bad battery life..
[Nexus 5 General] aceian:
For my usage the N5 battery life is good.

But as you said you'll be whole day on 3g.

I'll recommend G2 and flash custom rom.
[Nexus 5 General] nexus_18:
Yes my phone is on 3g the entire day. About g2 you get screen time greater than 6 hours but price to performance is best in N5 but if you want better battery life than a N5 get the G2

Sadly no airtel supports 4G LTE on mobile phones only in Bangalore any way the LTE network is TD-LTE band 40 nexus doesn't support TD-LTE SO no band 40.N5 supports only FD-LTE. Check nexus 5 specs for all the supported bands.
[Nexus 5 General] mohitgalaxy3:
Use G2 and then tell me from what point you can say it's slow.
[Nexus 5 General] :
It's just so ugly intrusive! I've tried the G2 and I threw up in my mouth a little because of how ugly the UI is. Also the buttons on the back are really annoying for me. This is just my opinion.

Edit: I forgot to add that I'm a flashaholic and the G2 just doesn't have the same level of Dev support as the nexus does.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Hahaha true that! Even I despise LG's Optimus UI... and same goes for the buttons on the back.. it really gets in the way many times.

Compared to Nexus 5's UI smoothness, it is SLOW! I would only be able to tolerate G2 if I have a custom rom in it..

Then again, it's my personal opinion :)

Great! It surely does look wicked! :cool:
[Nexus 5 General] nexus_18:
Nexus 5 is really buttery smoother I also picked because it provides the smoothest android experiiance I hate touch whiz optimus ui as the slow down the phone
[Nexus 5 General] mohitgalaxy3:
I have used Nexus 4 for a year and got bored of android plain UI, also no matter what custom ROM i flashed they all looked same.

About G2 I really don't feel it's slow at all, also I have an option to stick to OptimusUI or plain android.

And Yes you are damn true nexus devices has the most dev support.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Lets just say the matter we are discussing is purely subjective and will defer from one person to another... What one might think is "fast" might not look "fast enough" to the other and vice versa...

As for the custom rom part, All cm/aosp/aokp roms will look same more or less, it's the mods/settings provided in each rom which differ ;)
[Nexus 5 General] nexus_18:
The question is clean simple fast ui vs cluttered slow and in case of optimus ui unpleasant ui you choose.
[Nexus 5 General] souvik101990:
Well, I think it's good to have some sort of uniformity. If you want to have cosmetic changes, just get a theme or something.

But I see a lot of G2 love from devs though...
[Nexus 5 General] anshmiester78900:
Guys My nexus 5's battery was fully discharged after that when im try to charge it its just not booting up. Also when i connect it to the PC i can hear the sound of it getting connected from pc speakers but the screen is not powering up. Can anyone plz help me up ?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Can you access bootloader? Hold down power button+vol down button together till you feel a vibration... If nothing shows up then

Leave it on a wall charger for 2-3 hours and see whether it boots up or not...

if not, it's most probably a hardware failure... We would be able to do something or the other if you could just reach to the bootloader, if not, it's dead...

Hello people.

I am planning to buy a N5 from India. Would you recommend buying from ebay?

There is a summer sale or something right now: http://www.ebay.in/itm/251486656905?_trksid=p2062218.m2703.l53

Problem is, as mentioned in the OP, I would not get warranty from ebay. I cannot personally check the price on Google Play store as I am from Mauritius, where the store is unavailable anyway. I'd appreciate if someone from could check the price on Play store for me.

Also, do you think that link I posted above is safe?
[Nexus 5 General] eshopper:
better buy from playstore as you get RMA facility (unless you get a killer deal from other genuine websites with warranty) ..

it costs rs32999 for 32gb and rs28999 for 16gb in India..

Seller has good feedback and has got manufacturer warranty in the post you have posted.. seems good enough.. but ultimately your call to opt for RMA facility from playstore or the normal LG service center services in case of any issues...

FYI i got mine from other website for a good price and i have not faced any problems till now..
[Nexus 5 General] skarma103:
you might have used it for a year but never changed the screen or widgets or whatever , every phone will have a boring UI in the long run , take a page out mycolorscreen and try to make your own , even they use same UI but every screen is diff and beautiful , its just you never made an effort , its not like apple where you can only change walls n pay 700$ to ***** later

[Nexus 5 General] sxrmafia:
Who wouldn't want this ?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
First of all I have never used it for 24 hours... I charge daily no matter how much battery life is left...

After a full charge in the 6 in the morning to 8-9pm.. I get about 3-4 hours of screen on time with 20-30% left if I don't play any games..

That being said, this is just a wild rough estimate, I don't get this every day. The usage patters differs from individual to individual and the battery life also depends on tons of other variables...

The reason I am asking is I am getting some weird partial wakelocks 'Proximity Sensor'. But I'm yet to figure out whether that is actually causing any battery drain at all.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Make sure that no app is causing the proximity sensor to turn on... Yes, wakelocks can drain battery as it removes the phone from sleep/deep sleep... But if they are just one or two wakelocks, it's normal and nothing to worry about..
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
Check out the screenshots. Any idea?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Yes.. It does look normal.. However to be completely sure do this...

Charge your phone to 100 before you go to bed tonight... After getting up in the morning see whether the device is waking up due to anything...

This makes sure that you haven't used your device in between and hence if there are any wake locks then there's some rogue app which is causing it...

I've been following this from a long time now and I use this when I feel that the battery is draining out quickly... This is the best way to test wakelocks IMHO...

[Nexus 5 General] :
Hey, guys!

What accessories do you use with your phone that're easily available in the local (online) market?

I'm personally looking for a soft pouch, like the ones by Fitbag. I'm not sure whether something like this would be classified as something I'd have to pay duty for? The price is already high to begin with, and if I was to add customs on top of it, it would be outrageous. Does anyone know of a locally available alternative to these? Or does anyone have experience with ordering from Fitbag?

Also, I'm looking for a good, glass screen protector, for a cheap price. All the ones that I've seen are above 500, and that's a lot to pay for a screen protector IMO, especially since sticking them on perfectly can be quite the challenge. Any ideas?

[Nexus 5 General] fusion123:
Don't know if you have gone through the posts in the earlier pages of this thread, but the cases sold on tradus or other online websites are all good copy of the original Spigen cases. Many people have ordered the same and have been satisfied with the copy, however they are not original Spigen. If you want the original case, you can buy it directly from Spigen store on eBay (http://www.geb.ebay.com) or Amazon.in. You will also get a certificate of authenticity with a unique code, which when entered on the Spigen website will tell you if the case is genuine or a copy.

Hope it helps.
[Nexus 5 General] bliizzz:
absolutely true i still haven't figured out if its fake or original. because my friend owns one brought from amazon and he verified his through spigen authentication code stuff and its very hard to makeout if the one i got is original or not makes no difference though :)

I don't think they will the replacement works like this you setup an rma the send you return info and you don't have to pay for shipping as it is prepaid. The courier will pick it up from our door step you can order replacement unit of same capacity after receiving our phone they check whether the defect is covered under warranty if its not I think the will charge you for the replacement unit.in USA and other places u can return the device for full refund within 15 days no questions asked.but after 5 months I think the defect should be real.try talking to Google support India they are the best persons to answer ur queries.
