Larger aperture means smaller f value which again means bigger hole for capturing light. Larger the aperture, better and faster the lens is. With larger aperture, shutter speed will be more.

So help me out here... N5 has

8-megapixel 1/3.2-inch CMOS sensor

Optical image stabilization

F2.4 30mm equivalent lens

Sony IMX179(1/3.2",1.4µm)

4.0 mm focal length...

I've read reviews where people praise a phone's camera just because it has 2F saying low light imaging would rock!!!

So which to believe... My photography classes are long forgotten...??
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
Again it would also depend upon the quality of glass as well and the kind of sensor used. Lens alone cannot take good pictures.

I had a similar flickering issue few months ago and I later found out that it's because of the Kernel (ElementalX).. Mine would flicker at times as soon as I kept it for charging. Changing the kernel fixed it. However, I missed ElementalX a lot so I flashed it back (Updated version) and the flickering had stopped..

So, I'm not 100 percent sure whether or not it was the kernel or a random ghost bug which usually clears out with a clean wipe. If I were you, I would wipe everything and see whether the issue surfaces again.
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
I havent experience the bug since i posted about it here.. It was on stock rom for me.wid stock kernel....currently running cm nightlies and no such issue is present. Logical derivation says its mostly a random ghost bug as u said.

Update on my earlier post regarding my friends rma. He arranged for it for today and got his replacement device immediately. It was an on the spot replacement. It took some haggling with Google but he got it done. (he had dropped it a couple of times and the plastic around the sides was cracked and scratched and had started experiencing issues with charging)
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
New or refurbished?
[Nexus 5 General] :
Definitely a refurb but he has no issue with it. It looks brand new, has no issues and is perfect, no light bleed no dead pixels no rattling buttons I checked everything for him lol.

He had bought it from the play store so he called the Google India play store support helpline. They send you a mail and tell you what to do. If you've bought it from outside the play store, you have to go to the LG service center.

Xposed data consuming lot of storage. Anyone has this problem.?

Tried clearing data but after a few days it's back to 1gb mark again
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
Which are the modules you are using? Probably some module is writing error logs.
[Nexus 5 General] aceian:
Thanks.

I checked it out. It was actually the log of xposed app itself which was consuming so much space. Cleared it and got back a gig. But how to stop xposed app from producing logs? I opened it again and it produces Logs everytime
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
It can be because of some module which is writing errors to the log. Which modules are you using?
[Nexus 5 General] aceian:
Boot manager, crappa links, YouTube adaway, play store fix, Complete action plus, tinted statusbar, unbelovedHosts, xHalo

well can anyone confirm how many days it take from aliexpress through china mail to reach India(Delhi) if you people have purchased it earlier my nillkin glass is still with china mail for the last 17 days no updates and almost a month from my order
[Nexus 5 General] aakashji:
Same is the case with me.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
What is the last update? "Sent to airline" "Sent to destination country" "Sent abroad?"

If that's the case, check the Indian website and track the order from there.. track-chinapost.com/start_indiapost.php

Wait for a week and if the tracking still doesn't get updated on the Indian page, contact the seller.. Technically, you can only open a dispute after the guarantee period is nearing.. For my order it was 39 days.. So, I opened a dispute on the 37th day..
[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
Well it shows dispatch but no update in i dian post too the seller said to wait but hongkong post ordered arrive in 16days and that too including order date actually it arrive in 8 to 10 days after seller dispatch

I friend just had his packet delivered after 30 days of order. The courier had proper tracking no.

Ohh.. Good to know..

I was considering to buy desire 816 over nexus 5 due to it's 5 mp ff camera and boomsound speaker.. But as you know how htc treats its mid range devices.. And then i prioritized performance over better multimedia and got a n5

N5 was available for 27k and 816 was at 21k at that time

ringke slim case

Just received ringke slim today from amazon.in

248 rupees. Case feels very premium. A bit slippery but i liked the color combination :D
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
Can u give a small review about it? What material is it? Plastic ..glass or something else? 248 with shipping? I need to change my cheap :p case to something less cheap...
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
Ohh man you copied my color ..[emoji13] jk

Btw the material is at least better than what you get on samsung phones ..

And comparable to Lg's phones.. (The plastic i mean ) and it's very hard not even a little flexible..
[Nexus 5 General] slimshaddy.:
Yes 248 including shipping , i also use ringke fusion which i bought for 700 rupees , now it is also around 320 rs :/

Anyways , it's a plastic cover. And feels very sturdy. Red nexus doesn't have a rubberised back like black color. And like i said before it's a bit slippery. Will update how long the color on this lasts :D

Hehe , 2 of my friends said don't go for red , i said white and black phones are with everyone so bought the red. And this gold color looks amazing :D

I used hard cover on my xperia arc , 2 years back and it removed the color as well as the chrome frame.

I'm using this because this looks great. I don't sell my phones (scratches on the edges reduce the sale price)so don't care if the case will scratch it or not. Can't use this red nexus without cover because it has a very slippery back.

Sleep Issue

My phone sometimes doesnt wakes up from sleep after pressing power button.It light up automatically after 10-15 seconds..and sometimes when I recieve incoming call..screen doesnt light up at all only led is active..Is it related to kernal or its hardware problem?

I am using elementalX latest version..

and my SOT is maximum 3 hours with consistent 2g network and 2.25-2.50 hrs with weak signal 3g network..should I try for RMA or all these issues are normal?

Yes my friend its a known fact :) and widely used ..
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
Removed ringke slim and snapped back into ultra hybrid..

Removing slim case is bit tricky.. Try to lift up the upper left corner and pull the phone from the top (headphone jack area).. Now do the same lower left .. If you do it correctly , it wont be scratched .. But just be patient..

There is just a tiny gap on the top for my case. But not really an issue. It's original though.

Hello Guys!

Have been using the Nexus 5 without any problem for the past few months. But now I ran into a trouble. While on battery the phone does nothing. Tried long pressing power button, Vol down+power button. Nothing happens. But while plugged in (USB or AC) the phone keeps rebooting after 3-4 seconds on the Google logo (Boot loop). Searching here in XDA shows that it might be a problem with the power button getting stuck.

I bought it at a local shop here. What is the best course of action from here? Should i take it to a service centre or RMA it with Google?

Thank you.

As u said u bought it locally from a reseller these phones comes under lg service warranty. Contact the nearest LG service centre.

And also good alternative camera apps if you are using Android L in which Camera is not working as good as it should be ..

Some details of the video i recorded ..

And yeah .. Tap to focus is also working perfectly in videos .

After using the Ringke Fusion bought from Amazon for 323 /- for close to 2 weeks now, here are my observations:

1) It's the original Ringke Fusion Case and the feel of the Case is awesome. Especially the Power and Volume Button response when pressed. The Phone feels very solid in this Case.

2) Dust goes in from the space in the Headphone area and becomes visible from outside due to transparent back.

3) The transparent back is a fingerprint and more importantly a scratch magnet. It gets a lot of minor scratches when placed on the table or when removing from the Pant Pocket.

4) I do not think it is worth its original price tag of 1100 /- but at 323 /-, it is definitely a steal.
