Dude bsnl is better... I've learned from My mistakes... Every one in my family has bsnl... They have no issue with the sim... Call rate is low and also not much of an amount comes too for browsing... I too had a bsnl connection that was postpaid first then became prepaid then after bsnl increased the amount to 251 for 2gb had to move to Vodafone... Had a lot of profit from bsnl sim before the price increase... (303 for 6gb...) Anyway now I've decided to port my airtel to bsnl after the 90 day usage of airtel...

Using Airtel since ages without any issues.. Have used my device on roaming when I went to banglore and Chennai.. No call drops, data issues or anything else..

Even on my home network (Mumbai), the data connection is stable and so are the calls. The data connection might drop may be twice a month for abt 30 mins or so.. But that's acceptable..

any workaround to run some apps on Android L

P.S the apps I am talking are not dependent on root access

it is ART compatible
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Which apps are you talking about?? If it isn't root/ART dependent then may be the app isn't compatible with the Material Design of L. If that's the case, only the app developer can rectify it.

If material design isn't the issue then edit build.prop and change the android version to 4.4.4 and reboot. See if the app opens now? I'm just wild guessing over here. :D

Guys... I was making fun of my friend's s duos as it is really slow and lags a lot and in turn he cursed me saying that the tempered glass guard on my screen will break and in turn when I try to remove it it'll scratch the gg3...

Just reporting in:

Running PA 4.5 Beta 3 with Elemental Kernel. The battery is good but a bit low compared to Franco. I'm using the same configuration and trying it. One good thing about Elemental is that it has a lot more options compared to Franco.

I still manage to get 4 hrs 55 mins SOT on it so I guess it's not that bad.

Sent from my Phone.
[Nexus 5 General] :
ElementalX ia the best kernel IMO
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
The only reason why franco is giving you a bit more juice is because franco gives battery life a priority which in turn hits the performance. I've used franco for a week and all HD games lag at some point or the other. However, ElementalX is a balance between battery and performance where neither is taken for granted.

Anyways, as long as you're happy with it.. :good:

You need to take a chill pill man. You really believe in all these cures and stuff? :cyclops:

Anyways, coming to the point, YES, there's a good possibility that the GG3 might get scratched if you don't remove the tempered glass properly.

Use the edge of a credit card or something similar and begin from one corner and try to push the CC under the glass. Once you get under it, simply slide the CC down and the tempered glass will be removed easily! :)

I had ordered my Pistons from MeriMobiles on 21st August and they Shipped it on 25th August due to the Weekend coming in between.

Their Chat Support is very helpful and they mentioned the same 17 - 35 Days time for Delivery.

My previous purchase from Aliexpress took more than 60 Days to deliver. It was not a good experience. Hoping for a quicker delivery this time from MeriMobiles.

I have Tracking Number starting with HK.

Do you guys know if it is possible to track this somehow even though MeriMobiles says No Tracking available ?

Need Original Charger..

Hello guys..

Where can I buy the original Nexus 5 charger?

I bought my nexus 5 on the day it got released in India. From past few days my screen started flickering. So I contacted Google support and they promised that they will provide a new device provided I return the device in new condition. Both my ear phone and charger are not in good condition :crying: (Obviously after using it for 9 months ).

I know I can buy the ear phone in LG service center which looks exactly like the one we got it in the box. But now I need a charger which should look like the one which we got it in the box.

Where can I get it? :confused:

Thanks in Advance.
[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
well not sure if its original but its the exact model no as the original lg charger you can see description apply some bay coupon to get it at little lower price

Thanks for all your replies. I went a LG service center and I got both CHARGER and EAR PHONE .. :thumbup:

The cable which I got along with CHARGER is bit lengthier and Charing pin end doesn't resemble the original charger.. It has lg logo and all though.. Will this be an issue for RMA?

well its quite irritaing and being very difficult to understand what is causing the problem as I gifted my wife a new nexus and she has the same issue and on airtel and she runs stock always just bought few days back,so earlier i thought maybe custom stuff is leading to it but its not dont know where the prob lies
[Nexus 5 General] jaferiqbal:
Yeah its very irritating. I was on stock before when this problem started.Then i decided to root n installing custom rom in hope to fix the issue but it didn't help. After asking here in this thread i was suggested to flash latest modem,so i did it,everything was working fine no drop calls whatsoever but it came back. Don't know what should i do now :/

Maybe its a hardware fault or problem with the dialer app in 4.4

[Nexus 5 General] NaveenKD:
After going through the thread, I can safely conclude Nexus5 and Airtel 3g is not a good combination. I never faced this problem with my Note earlier with same network.

Since I switched to Nexus, either my call doesn't go through or many of my friends can't reach me... This problem surprisingly disappears once I switch to 2g.

+1 totally true already ask for a port hope voda does good here
[Nexus 5 General] swat4samp:
I'm using vodafone and didn't face any call drops till now. Although after call is disconnected, network turns off and on automatically within a few seconds. BTW how to use 3g on vodafone? I heard that it supports 3g via intra circle roaming. Should i purchase another sim or is it activated by default?
[Nexus 5 General] EthanDev:
Oh no!! i thought of buying from this seller!! now i am afraid:eek: when you bought it??

btw whats the batch number of the current nexus??
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Totally depends on the area you live in. I'm on Airtel 3g from the beginning and face zero issues with speed or with connectivity. (Mumbai)
[Nexus 5 General] arpitnathany:
It also depends upon whether the 3g in your area is provided under a sharing agreement or not. For eg. In Kolkata Airtel is providing 3g under an agreement with Vodafone. I also faced a lot of problems like call dropping 3g not connecting etc. When I contacted Airtel they said that I had to manually choose Vodafone from the network provider list. But since Vodafone only provides 3g to airtel customers when 3g signal is weak you loose a signal altogether until you switch to airtel. So I ported my no. To Vodafone and all is fine. No serious problems so far. A few times experienced 3g slowdowns but that is to be expected in India.

[Nexus 5 General] roofrider:
I'm curious. Did you use a freight forwarding service?
[Nexus 5 General] Oneiricl:
That really has nothing to do with the Indian version.

Firstly the Indian one is a different model altogether.

Secondly, even if it was the same model, supply chains are not so flexible that if you don't have enough units in one country, you could divert a whole bunch from another so quickly. That's just not how it works. You have to understand that these things have been planned out months in advance, even if they don't have a specific date for launch.

adb pull takes a lot of time + you need to be connected to a computer and AFAIK, adb pull backups up everything from scratch.. right? it doesn't just backup the altered files?! If so, each time, you will be spending a lot of time backing everything up.
[Nexus 5 General] skarma103:
It doesn't really take a lot of time , I did one now took like 5 mins with a decent PC , yeah I back it up to a folder and I have software which compares it the contents of another folder and it sort of merges everything together , before I'd just take a backup a month put it in a folder label the date and be done with it then merge It all at the end of the year
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Depends on what you have stored. I have about 24gb data on my nexus 5 and it takes about 20-30 mins for it to backup everything. May be it's time to upgrade my computer. :silly:

Anyways, I'm lazy to do all that.. I've setup SMB account which backups altered data from my nexus 5 to the computer over wifi. I have scheduled my FolderSync with Tasker to take a backup twice a week at 2am. It does everything while I'm fast asleep.. Only constraint is that I need to be connected to my wifi network and the computer to be on standby.
