With Corning Glass 3, does it really need a protector?
[Nexus 5 General] :
Total cost : $57.92 (Includes shipping)

Reduction if purchases 2 items : $14.92

Final Price includes shipping : $43.
[Nexus 5 General] Romonster:
Quartz/Sand particles can still easily scratch it.
[Nexus 5 General] aakashji:
Its for only first few months. My heart will treat it like a baby.
[Nexus 5 General] AmmarGitham:
My current cell has Gorilla glass 1, and is 2 years old, and haven't used any screen protector any time. It doesn't have any scratches and the screen looks Awesome.
[Nexus 5 General] ashis.kyal:
Some website's are saying that It will launch on 12 Nov. Is this fake news?

Will buy 32 Gb for my dad
[Nexus 5 General] aakashji:
I have I9000 with Gorilla glass 1 and is 3 yrs old. Intially it had screen protector.It has few scratches after using it for more than a year after peeling it off.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Gawd dammit... already a week of US launch :( Google come the **** on!!! freaking release it here, assholes!
[Nexus 5 General] H4CK_H0PP3R:
It is not at all official news, some also saying 15th Nov, some saying December & some Mid January, its google who just f#cking my brain with its Indian launch.

Sent from Nexus 7 3G using XDA Premium @ Indishell Lab
[Nexus 5 General] gmr_ram:
Same here... It is been more than 3 years with i9000 and not a single scratch. Never used screen guards!
[Nexus 5 General] Oneiricl:
The most likely is the 15th (although I'm really hoping for the 12th). Remember the initial rumours pointed out those dates...

The same thing happened with the international launch. The first rumours said 31st of October, and then everyone started claiming random dates.

If the N5 isn't available by the 15th, I'm giving up and buying one from the US.
[Nexus 5 General] mithun46:
:p
[Nexus 5 General] udimars30:
I guess the 12th Nov. is the official date because we have nexus 5 listed on the play store but the nexus 7 (2013) wasn't listed and they said that it will come early but people are saying that nexus 5 won't release by this month rather this year but hey listen nexus 7 wasn't listed anywhere ion the Indian sites but nexus 5 has!!

My friend say's that he has a retailer (known) who says Nexus 5 will come on 12th but isn't sure officially but will have it so no matter what i'll get it by 12th nov.

(Still not sure ^ )

No I meant... What if we flashed a rom and some incompatible kernel... It would end up in boot loop.?
[Nexus 5 General] deathgame:
Can someone give me the link for gapps to use with paranoid ROM. Flashed 3 different packages and getting error
[Nexus 5 General] varuntis1993:
Yea if u flash a CAF kernel on a AOSP based rom it will end in a bootloop and vice versa.....flash the appropriate one and u r good to go.
[Nexus 5 General] darshanbangre:
My point here is... Once it enters boot loop... Power button won't work to turn it off to get into recovery again... In other phones we usually pull the battery.. What's the work around in nexus.? :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] varuntis1993:
Keep pressing the power button for around 10-20 seconds it will reboot, when the power button is pressed for so long, it does not behave according to the software....its like a hard or force reboot and is same like removing a battery and then inserting it back.

[Nexus 5 General] niks4101:
I faced something similar today. Just keep all the three buttons pressed together and it will boot to the bootloader/fastboot. From there you can either go to recovery or anything else you want.
[Nexus 5 General] anakin009:
LOL Im not sure. but i'll be glad if can get 31K for it... its spotless and it has absolutely no issues.

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

try Amazon.in,

I'd ordered Spigen Ultra Hybrid for Rs. 1500, got it delivered in 1 week.

Kickass Case!!!

Its original, beware of Fake Chinese copies... they'll cost you between Rs. 300-500.
[Nexus 5 General] Romonster:
Ebay global easybuy offers the same at 1200 which you can further reduce by using coupons.

Though delivery time is longer.. I got mine in 20 days.
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
I too ordered it in ~1.2k from official spigen shop on ebay global. I must say that it is a excellent case with top notch quality. 1.2k is worth spend as screen guard is also included. I received it in around 15 days but I played smart and had ordered it 15 days prior of phone launch. So this spigen case is protecting my phone from day 1 and its been almost 3 months now. Meanwhile, I dropped my phone twice from a height of ~3ft and it survived without any sort of damage. Once, it was a concrete road surface I dropped on and I am sure that, without case, phone would have shattered into pieces.

---------- Post added at 12:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 AM ----------

Nexus 5 is amazingly brilliant phone but kind of delicate one. Good quality case is really a must have for N5.
[Nexus 5 General] ashish.kmc08:
Since u have used the case for 3 months...can u tell me how is the case's condition now?....is the transparent back prone to scratches?....would be great if u could share some pics of the case :)
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
Back side is absolutely perfectly without any major visible scratches. There are small hairline type scratches but not visible. It is not prone to scratches if you put phone on table as back side is slightly elevated. I will surely post pics tomorrow.

---------- Post added at 01:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------

I bet you wont even notice those hairline scratch patterns in photos but I will post pics tomorrow in broad daylight. Those patterns are very normal and we see it on many surfaces. Its not even easily noticeable by naked eyes.
[Nexus 5 General] eshopper:
yep even i'm waiting/searching for neo hybrid replica.. hardly i can makeout the difference btw original and replicas..
[Nexus 5 General] sajidrehman:
HSPA+

Does the N5 support HSPA+? & will it show up as H+ on the notification bar?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 General] ashish.kmc08:
Thanks bro...i ordered ultra hybrid from ebay global for 1088 bucks....now the waiting period :P
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Yes and No.

Yes it supports HSPA+, But with stock rom it doesn't show H+ but with custom rom(eg: cataclysm) it shows H+.

Power bank for Nexus 5

Hi Friends,

Any good deals on power banks for the nexus 5. Please share your experience if anyone is using it

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
Do they provide the original spigen screen guard waiting for your pics will buy it today by night
[Nexus 5 General] ashish.kmc08:
Yes the ultra hybrid comes with original spigen screen protector... Neo hybrid doesn't
[Nexus 5 General] sajidrehman:
LTE

If Airtel & other operators roll out FD-LTE in the 1800 MHz band then LTE would finally be useful on the N5?
[Nexus 5 General] varuntis1993:
Hey does the back gets scratched easily and also what about the finger prints?.....I heard that the back of ultra hybrid is finger print magnet

spigen neo hybrid vs ringke slim.. which is better??

neo hybrid seems too costly :/
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Ringke slim hasn't got positive reviews from users..people have reported that the case itself scratches their phone from the sides..so its better to drop the idea of going for this case ..
[Nexus 5 General] sam razzy:
Me... :D
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
Adding pics of Spigen ultra hybrid after 3 months of use. Sorry for the delay. I really can not see scratches with naked eyes. No question of seeing it in pics but still. Right now I don't have any other camera than phone so adding pics of solo case. Tomorrow, I can add case with phone pics if anybody interested.
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
Edit
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Looks good..my Ringke Fusion is also going fine till now..its been only 15 days though..btw how did you upload a bigger pic..coz whenever I upload pics they are small..like the ones u have posted in the previous post..
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
Yes. Screen guard is included. It is also of good quality. No scratch on that also. But I avoid keeping phone in same pocket with keys. Still, otherwise my use is rough and both screen guard and especially case has stood really good for its purpose. It does add bit of bulk but gives sturdy feeling and back plastic feels like a glass while using phone so gives premium feeling. Another good thing is buttons are even more easy to press with case than bare phone and it eliminate all sort of button rattle if any.

Use tinypic the best to share forum URL of your pic try once and copy paste the URL for forum in your post here
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
I didn't find "tinypic" in the play store:what:
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
About scratches, answered in previous posts. Short answer- No easy scratches.

Yes, it is quite prone to fingerprints as back is glossy plastic. But again, with a quick wipe, they easily do go away.

[Nexus 5 General] sxrmafia:
Got my Nexus 5 yesterday, I would like to ask you guys that if there is a screen protector around that includes the circular film to cover the back camera lens just like the factory one is on it.

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
I highly doubt if there's anything like you mentioned to protect camera lens. I understand that if one is not using the case, then camera lens might get scratched in N5 as its designed in such a way which is bad IMO. I suggest you to check ebay and amazon. If you don't find, then get a good quality case.

http://www.gadgetshieldz.in/google-nexus-5-screen-protectors-skins-covers-cases.html#product603

High quality wet screen application gadgetshieldz has full body protection option but reference image on their site doesn't give idea about camera protection. You can google around this guard to get answer. Even many people on xda also use it for N5 so you can ask them in cases and accessories thread.

Gravity box is exactly what every android phone needs. Worked brilliantly on my S2 and works perfectly on my Nexus.

Protector is quite good.. it's re usable ie having bubbles upon first installations and some micro dust particles I able wash and realign the glass and fits good and feel is much better the original glass.. however one needs to take care of air bubbles popping up while installing read the thread and watch YouTube reviews before deciding buying and applying... I'm not going back to regular protectors now..

[Nexus 5 General] dkv2222:
Hey guys.

I'm looking to buy a new phone and I'm considering the n5 and g2 for now.

I need good battery and the phone need to be stable as ****.

I won't be buying a new phone for at least 2-3 years, so it has to be future proof.

I'm aware the n5 has awesome community support so no worries about that.

My main and only concern is battery.

What kinds of battery lives are you getting?

I read about it from various sites but I wanna know real customer opinion.

Thanks for all your help.

Deepak :)
[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:
If battery is your concern, i would say you go with the G2. My friend has a Nexus 5 and he gets 3.5-4 hours on screen time whereas my G2 gets through 6.5-7 hours of screen time. Also LG is releasing the kitkat update next week
[Nexus 5 General] dkv2222:
Battery life is a concern.

But my phone is gonna be on standby mostly.

I'll be using it max for 2 hrs a day.

How's the standby time on the n5 with 3g and/or WiFi on?
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Dude you will pay more for less memory too..As far as I know G2 is 16gb only..n the LG UI on top is one of the crappiest out there..I am rooted And I easily get 18+ hours with around 4:30 hours of on screen time and around 1+ hours of voice calls..
[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:
FYI, it comes in 32GB in India and always you can install third party launcher if you dont like lg's ui... Its subjective that ui is crap... Even Nexus has no features like knock on/off, quickremote etc etc
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Well good then..but some UI are embedded till kernel level like HTC Sense..dont know about LG..and stw,dttw are here..u just need a kernel like elementalX ..well personally I hate the cheap shiny back of G2 and the android updates will be rolled out after 6 months of being released .. nexus gets them within a day.. Not to mention the great support nexus series gets on XDA ..

If a non Nexus series is more lucrative then I would say wait for a month..

MWC is getting kicked off next week ..n we will see Galaxy S5 and the new HTC One ..and in my opinion HTC will impress this time too..
[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
Go for nexus5 u won't regret if u will use it fr day to day calls n internet, as in case of extensive use I miss my note2 which lasted almost 8 hours but u can't expect everything in one standalone package some compromise is needed as far as the camera n battery life is concerned compared to g2 but fr me too I made the choice I buying the nexus with a great development community n for me the camera is good for random clicks just get hands on a better camera from play store it works wonder which stock cannot do.
[Nexus 5 General] dkv2222:
Im really confused.

I mean the n5 is like the smoothest phone I've ever tried but the battery on that thing.

I guess I will get the lg g2 after it gets the 4.4 update. :eek:

The g2 is a better package altogether.
[Nexus 5 General] mrcreativity:
I'm never going back to a non nexus device regardless of feature of lack there of.

LMAO! heights of looting
[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
Well its a just a matter of preference as already took the pain of waiting for updates on Samsung and latest android and when it roll in its too late to by then the next android is already on line,no doubts the g2 is a beast but when it comes to updates lg is way behind and to keep up with the latest Google will do it fine for nexus.

So definitely your call what you consider as both comes at the same budget almost but somehow I find the nexus to be more futuristic and worth to spend money on beyond that I inspected both before buying the nexus and was not much happy with the built of g2 the shiny stuff ,but for you the choice will be just on battery part as nexus can easily run almost anything in the coming two years and that too be the first to flaunt so make your choice do check both the phone in store and make your choice,considering my buying habit from last 6 years I made mine as used HTC hd2,desire hd,lg p500,optimus 2x,Samsung note and note2 but I consider this my best buy . lg and google had made a perfect combo between specs and firmware support and not to forget the power of xda
[Nexus 5 General] dkv2222:
So I was lurking in the nexus 5 threads and I found something which might convince me to get the n5.

I saw people getting 4-6 hrs screen on with 22-24 hours.

Is that possible or are they really screwing with their phones?

I don't use gmail or fb. Neither do i use Google now.

Only apps will be g+ , insta, tapatalk, whatsapp and few others.

How do you think the battery life will be?

I'm gonna run all stock till the warranty runs out.

Should I be good to go?

Will I get through the day without it running out of battery?
[Nexus 5 General] :
I was getting about 4.5 hours on 3g with Gmail, hangouts, Whatsapp, YouTube, some small games and tons of browsing on XDA and stuff so you should be good to go.

Dude do you live in a place where there is a shortage of electricity ..or is it really expensive.. coz u can also charge your phone u know..I have a charger in my car and we do have sockets in our office and my laptop too has a USB port(ya I swear)..so please stop cribbing about battery.. My iPhone 5 had a much worse battery backup as compared to my N5 but still Apple sold it like hot cakes all around the world..

N N5 gets charged from 2% to 100% in an hour or so..

And if battery is the only thing then Blackberry n those nokia Lumias are your best bet..
[Nexus 5 General] dkv2222:
No. Electricity is not a problem here.

But, I'm a student. And I'm gonna be traveling all day.

I won't have access to a charger till late evening.

I guess I'm gonna get the n5.

Let's see. :)
