I cant seem to get hold of two things in tasker...

How can i make sure that phone asks for a password when somebody tries to swtich it off...

I set the event as device shutdown and task as lock screen ... But it doesnt seems to work..

Secondly i cant toggle between 2g/3g mode :( As i have read stock rooted doenst supports it...

Edit - seems network mode problem will require integration wid intelli3g ... Solvable now...

Still troubled wid password on shutdown issue...

Please suggest a case for nexus 5 with transparent back panel. I found spigen and ringke cases but both are costly (900 for a case :rolleyes: ) BTW i had matte screen protector already. So, does it affect after i put on case? My worry is only about the camera which may get scratched now that i lost the protective sheet which came by default. My budget is around 500 but more than that, its difficult for me. You see, finance is provided by my sister :p So please suggest any alternative to that? Transparent back panel is the most priority.
[Nexus 5 General] Sukrith:
There are some on flipkart by digiflip... They cost something around 350 or something but reviews say it gets scratched easily and you'll know it... I have a ringke for about a month or so... Its already scratched but can't tell unless you inspect carefully...

Nope I guess... At least at my hometown... You can always get a replica from aliexpress... It cost about 300... I was planning on getting it but since my card didn't work I had to go for the real deal at 750... Also you can always go for transparent snap-ons...

Lol, if you won't have a social life, then that's really a good thing. You can find real enjoyment outside. But only having social life makes you feel forever alone (i'm in that category :crying: ) Anyways back to topic: I have maestro card, so that explains everything :mad: i can't make purchases even through playstore too. So, thats out of scope. I can use coupons on ebay but i didn't find any transparent case :( My only problem is about the camera. Does it damage when the lens gets tiny scratches?
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
It's not exactly off topic .. We use the same broadband as wifi in our nexus 5 .

Here on xda people talk about verizon , at & t and t mobile all the day .. And they discuss about every single plan on their carrier .. So in the end everything is related to nexus 5 .. Like earphones , headphones , dbrand skins , cases covers , screen protectors etc

After all it's a general discussion thread .[emoji13]
[Nexus 5 General] Sukrith:
I had the camera protector for sometime but it scraped off so no protection at the time... But still I don't have any scratch on the lens... I've always used a case... And also I clean the place before I place it on some surface... I treat my phone like a baby... :D... Anyway from what I know n5 have gg3 for camera lens... So don't be scared... You have 2 options... Spigen hybrid ultra and ringke fusion... Both costs 750~800... But its worth it... Also both of them have a raise at the bottom... So no scrath at the back...

I'm using my phone naked from the last 7 months and haven't scratched it yet. I only put it in a pouch when it's in my pocket. These glasses don't get scratched easily. But yeah, it can get scratched so it's better you take care of it.

Minute scratches won't affect pic quality much as long as the cam is able to focus on the object..

Yeah, I agree with you but we took things really off topic this time.. Planning to open a petition @ change.org against Indian ISP speeds is certainly way off topic :silly:

Ah well, as long as it doesn't go overboard, it's fine I guess ;)
[Nexus 5 General] swat4samp:
I thought of buying screen protector from online but ended up having a matte one from retailer for 200rs which is fine. So, i guess i will have a look at cases too. Saved me a lot of money for screen guard :silly: Let's see what does the retailers offer.

This is indian thread after all. So we can discuss everything related to accessories. There are some development threads where most of the posts are OT's (won't point one) So, i guess a little bit OT can be considered. Hope the moderators take it easy on us :o

hi everybody..I have a pretty basic question but I am trying to find an answer for a while now.

Is there a way to set the default quality of videos on the Youtube app? Coz mine starts at 720p by default but I want it to be 360p (every single time)

Sent from a Paranoid Hammerhead!
[Nexus 5 General] guju83:
+1:)
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Afaik, you can't. Depending on your Internet speed, it will auto select the quality. When I'm on 3g/wifi it selects 720p but when I tried 2g, 480p was selected..

May be you will need to decompile the yt apk and edit some values.. But then again, if it was that easy, someone would have come out by a solution by now.. :s

DUDE ..first of all you are on "Edge" and not on Wifi.

second, when u exit the app now (swipe it away from the recents too) and then again go to youtube and play a video, its gonna be back to 720p (provided u have switched to wifi) ..

I don't wanna press the three dotted menu ..I want to set the defaut value as 360p ..

I decompiled youtube apk file and edited xml strings in /res/values/ but after I recompile it, the apk won't install. If I sign/zip align the apk then it installs successfully but the app crashes as soon as I open it ^_^

No idea what needs to be done now.
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Thanks a lot for the effort man..but if it can't be done then chuck it..no need to put in so much effort in this..

BTW, there is another huge issue with Android itself ..if we are watching a video on youtube or anywhere on the internet and during that if u pause the video, the buffering that has already been completed will be lost.

the same will happen if u manually press the power button while watching a video and turn it back on.

this wasnt the case on iOS ..I used to let my video buffer on my iPhone without the worry of my screen getting timed out and turn off..coz the buffering would stay no matter what and it wud continue to buffer further too..

so now I have set the screen of my N7 to never time out so that I don't atleast loose the buffer that has already been done ..[emoji21]

Actually, I myself was looking for a way to do this sometime ago but dropped the idea after not finding anything on the internet.. I watch a lot of videos myself as well and it sure was irritating to do it each time. :mad:

Hmm.. Hadn't noticed it.. Just tried it on the YouTube app multiple times on 3-4 videos.. My buffer doesn't get reset if I pause the video or even minimize it to the bottom. But yeah, if the display times out or if I turn off the screen, the buffering goes away.. LOL.. Really pathetic.

Well, TBH, it's only in India that you might see this cribbing as we don't have awesome download speeds everywhere. Since I now have a fast 10 mbps connection, I really don't care about it myself since it loads quickly even on 720p.

I guess this is the reason why Google might not have looked into this further. I may be wrong though.

I was chatting with my cousin the other day who's in Australia and he has 4g/LTE connection all the time and once the FUP is reached, it's unlimited 3g... I was like are you kidding me? :| :| :|

There's no such issue. If you're unlucky there might be a manufacturing defect. But that's covered under warranty.

If EMI is the deciding factor of your purchase then you can also buy from google play directly and then call your bank to convert the transaction to EMI..

How's much time does it take to charge nexus 5 using nexus fast charging accessory? (For me, 12%/10mins)

What current values you are getting? (For me, 1500 mA - 1600 mA)

Is the current value constant from 0%-100% battery? (For me, it goes down to 1000 mA after 75%)

Sorry for asking you so many questions, but I feel that only you can answer them out as I don't find any tech guy active in this thread.

Anyone can answer this questions if someone is keen in their observation with respect to values and time.

Edit :

[MENTION=5165311]vin4yak[/MENTION],

Last query, does your device gets warm will charging using this fast charger?

I observed that it's getting warm over time and if we get connected to data, it gets extremely hot (while on charge).

Thanks in advance :)
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
I get about the same.

Mine ranges between 1500-1680. Highest recorded was 1702. Activate airplane mode if you want steady current flowing!

Nope. All smartphones charge slowly after reaching the 80% threshold.

No problem m8. You can as many as you want. It's best to sort things out and clear your mind of any doubts :)

network issues on D820

so I have been postponing this for many months thinking that it might resolve in the roms or the upgrades... however none has helped me since I bought this few months back.

Problem 1 : On Roaming and travelling

Whenever I am on the outskirts of city, or travelling out of city, 80% of the times the network is not available. Neither is it while I am on the major highways. While on roaming, the signal drop is very frequent and almost unusable. I have travelled to few places since but the results are almost same. The signal comes when I am in the center of the roaming city, however as soon as move a little out of city it again goes back to NO Network.

Problem 2 : On home network

Almost daily the phone though shows full network, but all calls are unreachable and same is true for outgoing. There is no way to judge that if the phone is operational unless calling party calls me on the landline. This is true when I am in my office or at home. On restarting the phone outgoing and incoming starts working again.

Model - D820 sourced from US playstore

Network used - Airtel Delhi

Network mode - on 2g always, 3g when data is required

If anyone has read on this issue else where please do point me to the thread and do share your views on this.
[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
well seems an airtel issue as me to facing this problem but not to the extreme you mentioned but seems the prob is there and somehow the phone is reposible too as whenever I am on 3g the call drops randomnly and need to redial again and many a times people say that my number is not reachable though seems a mixed issue of the phone and Airtel.

I am on the latest modem and on 2g to make the signal be stable but as soon on 3g the signal goes to one bar at my home .

Its frustating I inderstand that my room has issue with signal reception but to this extent is too much and with nexus 5 the signal is dropping like hell I though maybe my phone has some issue but then gifted my wife a new nexus and it was the same on her phone too :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] Sukrith:
I think its the issue with the modem and airtel conflicting... I've asked my friends who are on airtel with a ggrand and gs3 and they say they get fairly good signal and also 2g speeds... But I asked other friends with micromax or lg or lumia... And they say airtel is the worst network... I have no clue... I've been on Vodafone and it has no problems whatsoever... I get great signal and also way better download speeds that are more constant than airtel...

[Nexus 5 General] desihu:
I can understand the home signal issue and thats acceptable, but for me even on 2g I face this daily at home and in office..... Dunno if I need to get this thing back for replacement.

Yes I too doubt thats its due to both. In office I have heard others too facing the same that phone not reachable.... but the situation just aggravates when used with N5. I can't help with the airtel one but atleast need to fix this phone issue, but for now no clue where to start. my modem to is the latest KQ one. When I was on MotoDefy the issue was prettty much with the airtel alone.
[Nexus 5 General] Sukrith:
Try calling those a$$holes and telling that... They told me that its because of my phone and that I must change it instead of complaining that airtel sucks...
