.

lets see....I think the games and apps on play store are enough to decorate this beautiful home.....atleast I can fill it with "furniture" of my choice.....not like that touchwiz...thats like garbage thrown into my home on the name of furniture.
[Nexus 5 General] :
I used to use stock roms on my S2 a couple of years back but once I made the switch to AOKP and PA based roms I didn't want to switch back. Wait a while for roms like AOKP and Paranoid Android to show up. Another thing I could suggest is wait for a rom with the T-Mobile theme chooser built in. That might help change things up a bit. In any case that's just my opinion. In case you're really not satisfied and just can't live without Touchwiz you could always sell your Nexus and switch back.
[Nexus 5 General] chirag_chheda:
Yup. Everything happens for the best.

Though I wouldn't agree with the "disadvantages".

Personally my battery life is excellent. I just had a video chat for about an hour and a half and no serious heating issues there too. Camera is good brother!

As far as memory is concerned and 32gb isnt sufficient then you can buy a USB OTG.

Its really unfortunate to have dead pixels though :(

And FM compatibility isnt much a issue (at least for me). Even once you root your device and put a custom rom you face the same problem.

I hope you find a better device though. Cheers!:good:
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
hmm I am not a touchwiz fan, but I will prefer it over stock UI now.. (I used to hate Touchwiz & now I am talking this lol.. thanks to vanilla android) :D

Actually I am missing Amoled screen..

Nexus 4 can't even receive .apk files over bluetooth.. all friends of mine used to bugg me for that. u need to rename that .apk to something like jpg or make a .zip & then send it..

Ok guys enough of this offtopic discussion, lets get back to topic.. N5..
[Nexus 5 General] AhmedFaiz:
I think you need to be more informed what nexus project is all about! If you are a average user just move on, this device is really for developers and power users who likes to mod and play with different Roms and kernels and stay up to date with development .

By the way did you root your n4!

Nexus 5/ Stock /Franco r15
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
Lol check my sigi mate.. I am a crazy flasher... U just did not got my point .

Just now changed the kernel 5 mins back.. My N4 gets wiped every 2-3 days..

Hell I am the OP of this thread too... Duh... Sigh.. Meh....
[Nexus 5 General] shubh_007:
Exactly.. Nexus devices are like a newly built home. They are a home you can make as you like. Your home is completely different from anyone's home out there. You have the freedom to do what you want to do with it. And anyways it was made for developers in the first place. And with the plethora of apps on the play store you can get every feature Samsung provides, and you still have an option to remove it if you want.
[Nexus 5 General] AhmedFaiz:
Lol sorry who the hell am I asking! ? let's send good vibes about the different experience that android is providing us. Rather than bashing it each other. ?

But really was wonderful using nexus experience and pa for a year addicted.?

Help Needed!!!

it seems like they are shipping 32gb black versions now which were supposed to be shipped by 29th. People have you got another deduction on your debit card? I mean one was when you ordered and the second one on 2nd December. As there was no sufficient balance in my account, they were not able to charge me and now asking me to update credit card info. What about you?
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
Yup bro. And we were in a healthy debate not bashing... ;):thumbup:

This just made me laugh at the service of Ebay. As per the email the process was initiated on 27th Nov and it takes 5 days for the refund then by now the payment should have been already refunded. Damn.
[Nexus 5 General] snowfire88:
I was using my sisters card, so I need to get the details from her again to update the info in Google wallet. Haven't done so yet. My friend switched to a ICICI debit card & it worked for him. He got the shipping mail in the evening too.

Nexus 5 - White Vs. Black

Guyz i read a couple of review comparing the BLACK variant with WHITE one , each state that The black model gives a very nice grip and feel in hand and WHITE doesn't feel premium ,,

BUT

Who uses a Nexus 5 without a CASE :confused: , Any Case other than the Bumper one would cover the back portion and feel won't matter i assume .:p

SO , Which one should i opt , BLACK ( for the feel ) or WHITE ( for the looks ) .
[Nexus 5 General] inder swami:
i ordered white.. because black is not available.. either you wait 20-25 days for the black.. or you can just order the white one.. i placed the order for the 32gb white on 2 dec.. got the shipping mail yesterday.. and the i hope the device will be with me by tomorrow.. so choice is yours.
[Nexus 5 General] Akash-GT_I9070:
I would prefer the White personally , Now need a Good case , i like the Spigen Neo Hybrid one but the PRICE :confused: ,

Any good case , with moderate price ??
[Nexus 5 General] inder swami:
33k is already too much.. i will buy the cases next month.. so. nthng now.. :P money problm. :P
[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:
I saw the Nexus 5 review by Marques Brownlee aka MKBHD on YouTube and he personally prefers the white one... That guy is just awesome in reviewing stuff... He has also made a Nexus 5 white vs black so you can checkout under youtube.com/mkbhd

LG G2
[Nexus 5 General] Akash-GT_I9070:
But did Anyone buy the Spigen Neo hybrid ?? How does it perform ??
[Nexus 5 General] spacenoxx:
Thanks to you, I decided to buy it (16GB White, 311K) at Manu Music House (Chembur). Wife's S2 is in absolute tatters :) Also its time I upgraded my S1. However, as I want a Black N5, Wife will use this White while I will get my black at the end of the month. Just placed a PS order for the Black due to be shipped on 27th. I think its a decent compromise, as I can explore/fiddle with my wife's mobile when she isn't using it.

First Impressions :

1. Like the Kitkat interface. Extremely fast and very good to look at.

2. Audio is awesome. Even the stock IEMs aren't too shabby.

3. Camera was horrible till I realized I didn't remove the plastic lens gaurd. Once removed it was better. Vids are pretty good but still photos not so much as its pretty slow.

I feel the Nexus 5 Audio is better than the Nexus 7 (2013). Don't they use the same hardware or is it just my feeling?
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Just an update. I called Google Support AGAIN to enquire about the pick up time so that my RMA could proceed. He said it will take up to 72 hours which meant I should expect a call by tomorrow (Thurs) evening

eBay is a bit of a dicey place because there are unscrupulous dealers online.

When I ordered my handset from Google Play on 21st Nov I was informed it would ship by 29th. Hey presto! I got the handset in 2 days flat. Guess I was lucky.

That said, my joy was shortlived. The handset developed a hot pixel 2 days later. I finally decided to RMA it. If am paying full retail price Google better give me a perfect handset.

I agree with all the folks here about their frustration at Google and some eBay dealers not living up to promises. The thing is, if my order had taken an inordinate amount of time, I'd have simply cancelled it and moved on. Believe me the Nexus 5 isn't even a fraction of the big deal it is made out to be. I purchased the N5 as a backup handset for my family. And that's the way it will remain. My boss simply wouldn't accept my phone being non-operational and me being "not contactable" due to the nature of my work. He suggested having a backup handset. Which I do.

Someone called the N5 a developer's phone. Well, it may be one. As for ROMs (CM 10.1 and 2 others), I've tried them on different handsets including the Note 2, but they are pretty buggy with poor battery life. I prefer stability and battery life instead of the 'gee whiz!' feeling caused by using the latest and greatest dev ROM. My phone is a smartphone 1st, treating it as a guinea pig is the least of my priorities. This is just my point of view of course.
[Nexus 5 General] yuva91:
same thing happened to me also....when will that 2nd deducted amt will be refunded to us
[Nexus 5 General] Akash-GT_I9070:

[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:
Check if its defective.. Lol :P

LG G2
[Nexus 5 General] emceeb:
And now even the White is out of Stock on Play store.

Anyone knows where else can I buy a White 16 gb for 29. LG stores are selling for 30k in Mumbai.
[Nexus 5 General] rambus212:
Got my N5, black32GB on 29th which i ordered on play store on 21st. Got a 310 and i was disappointed that it might have some bugs.

Little sound when shaking and it seem to come from the audio button but not from power button.

No dead pixels as far as i can tell and i can live with it.

Audio at first had some background noise which i felt was trouble. I changed to the ART instead of Dalvik and it was much better and actually good. I am not sure if i need to use Dalvik or ART. If i change to ART it is optimizing all apps and taking some 10 mins during which the phone is heating up considerably.

Camera on HDR+ is very good and no issues with the focus or stabilization.

I am looking for the LG quickcover from the play store and it is not available yet. Any idea when it will be ready to order in India? Is it available in other sites to order directly?

Enjoy!
[Nexus 5 General] Akash-GT_I9070:
Yeah Just Did :victory: ,,

1- NO DEAD PIXEL

2- NO WI-FI Problem

3- No Shutter Lag in Camera

4- Power Button rattle on a scale of 10 __ is 2 ( You gotta hear closely by keeping device almost inside your ear :p )

BUT

there is slight noticeable rattle in the Volume rocker :eek: ,,

Y GOOGLE Y , Y U No GIVE DEFECT FREE DEVICE ???

What to do now guyz , i would rate my device 9/10 ,, But i did pay the full amount right , Should i RMA or Be Happy as i am now ???:D
[Nexus 5 General] DokoBG1:
im gonna say RMA ?
[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:
WhatsApp doesn't work on ART as it is not optimised.. Even ART takes 30-40% more storage space than dalvik for all the apps

LG G2
[Nexus 5 General] rambus212:
Sure, Whatsapp didnt get installed with ART.

So which is better as of now? ART or Dalvik? My thought is if we experiment with ART for sometime, the bugs would be out and get better as time goes by.
[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:
Art is experimental and so was introduced in developer options so that Google could try gain some feedbacks that would help improve it... So better stay with dalvik

LG G2
[Nexus 5 General] inder swami:
rattle sound is common in all devices.. so in my opinion RMA will not going to help. btw what is your batch no?? 310k or 311k
[Nexus 5 General] netcitizen:
two people i know who bought from India play store are complaining mic issues on N5.
[Nexus 5 General] Ashutosh1313:
RMA Update!

So finally after this looonnng wait,6 Days from after getting the RMA mail Blue Dart came to pick up my N5. At least ill be sleeping in peace tonight.

Anyone other RMAing?
[Nexus 5 General] ankitkhedekar:
Yes. Bluedart contacted me yesterday, but since i was not at home yesterday i asked them to come today.

Stage2 of the process almost over. Phewwwww!!
[Nexus 5 General] ankur3290:
I am not sure if my nexus 5 has a dead pixel or not. I tried dead pixel test app and on blue color its showing a black dot and in other colors I am not able to see it. Does anyone has a screen shot of dead pixel so that I can confirm and RMA my device?
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Blue Dart just picked up the phone 2 minutes back. Not bad, 48 hours after I raised the RMA.

Isn't this pretty coincidental that our phones get picked up on the same day? Guess they got the green signal from Google and went ahead to pick up RMA items. Hope I get a fault free handset as a replacement...and soon!

Bro, an unchanging black dot visible against a light coloured screen is a dead pixel. The opposite is a hot (always on) pixel..it is mostly white and remains on all the time..it is very visible against a dark background. My N5 had this problem.

here are some pixel fixing apps on the Play store. Download and try them out. If you are lucky you may get it fixed.

If you got it from the Play store, get ready to RMA it. Otherwise contact your dealer or the LG service centre.

Nexus 5 battery usage

I've been monitoring my battery usage and come across this strange issue where it says that the WiFi has been consuming battery.

Here's the screen shot:

I had started the WiFi hotspot for around 5-10 minutes That must be the gap that you see in the screenshot. Apart from that only my mobile data has been switched on.

Do you guys have any idea?

Regards,

Vishnu
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Do you keep your Wi-Fi on? Switch it & the Bluetooth radios off when not needed. Also check the location services in the phone. If selected it uses Wi-Fi (even when switched off plus cellular networks to estimate your location. You can uncheck it unless you use Google Now and other apps that are dependent on this function.
[Nexus 5 General] ankur3290:
Let me try app. It feels bad to see that black spot. Btw after RMA, in how many days can you expect the replacement device?
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Takes about 5-7 working days I am told, approx. 7-10 calendar days. Try the app and if it doesn't work send it back. Don't pay for an expensive phone that has quality issues. Demand a replacement.

[MENTION=4438668]Sharp-Razr[/MENTION] & [MENTION=4952777]ankitkhedekar[/MENTION]

Hey guys now that our devices have been picked up. What will be the next step?

I mean how will we know that 1] google acknowledged our dead pixel problem & 2] the replacement device is sanctioned? :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Next step is at the hardware partner's end. An engineer will evaluate the phone and if found defective approve a replacement. Guess we won't know till the very end. Whatever be the case it should get resolved in 10 days time max i.e. by next Saturday.

I am hoping that the next handset doesn't turn out to be faulty in one way or the other. I am really tempted to ask for a refund!
[Nexus 5 General] Ashutosh1313:
Yeah man me too! I hope whoever evaluates the device acknowledges the problems. I've even stuck small pieces of white tape on pixels for their location and put a note in box saying "Please remove the tape to locate dead pixels" :p :D
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
That's good idea.

My phone had only a single hot pixel and I mentioned its location clearly to the support guy when I called to register the RMA. He noted it down and acknowledged it in the email confirmation.

Getting mighty pi$$ed off with LG's quality.
[Nexus 5 General] ankur3290:
Talking to google support right now. These guys are damn slow.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Good luck with the RMA process. It takes a bit of time.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Glad to hear man! I'm loving my white nexus! I don't really take a lot of photos or videos so I don't really mind the camera issues. From what I've read, it's a software issue and Google are working on it.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Thought I'd share a screenshot with you guys :P. BTW I've got the 16 gb version.
[Nexus 5 General] Akash-GT_I9070:
311k Batch , is it better ??

Batch no . - 311k :highfive:

After using the device continuously for the past 4-5 hours , I DON'T FIND RATTLE OF BUTTONS A DEFECT WHATSOEVER .

the sound is noticeable only when you shake the device vigorously too close to the ear , So i think no RMA for me ,,

Really Happy for no dead pixel ,,, AND I Really LOVE THE STORMTROOPER , yes i said it .
[Nexus 5 General] :
+1!
[Nexus 5 General] hiback:
hello folks I received my nexus 5 on 1 Dec from a lg store but today only I noticed two dots or something

when I used dead pixel test

those dots appear white pixel on grey and black colour and appears white on red yellow blue green and white .

and they are on top of the screen . not visible on low brightness . I have a 311k

I just want to know if these numbers of dots can increase over time?
[Nexus 5 General] Ashutosh1313:
Yes! Happened in my case from No dead pixels to several dead pixels!
[Nexus 5 General] kailashnj:
These dots can increase and rather than waiting take the phone to LG service centre

[Nexus 5 General] Mandeep148:
I become happy when person say that he don't have Any dead pixel...

Nice to hear that..

That is the most sh*t issue.. which can make blood pressure high..

And about rattle "issue" please dont make non issue things as issue..

I have this sound on all galaxy Line..

Dude its build like that.. tight button can make problem in future..

Some noticed and some not... some person are making it issue..

If it is then whole device is defected.. -__- :D
[Nexus 5 General] rameshbitra:
Guys - Ordered 32GB White panda on 2nd late night and its delivered now. Its in my hand :good: Exactly delivered in 44 hours.

I wanted to check below issues which are being reported

1. Dead pixel - Tested with display tester. Atleast to my eyes, i dont see any dead pixel. Then tried gamma test value which the app says that it should be 2.2 however max i could see is 1.8 in few colours and 2.0 in some colours. never 2.2 in any colours. Will this be a problem? Still feeling dizzy after this dead pixel test in near darkness room.

2. Button rattle - I dont see any button rattles. If i rigorously shake the phone, i can barely (very barely) hear a minor sound. That too i am just keenly looking for it.

3. Vibrate - If i select "vibrate on touch", i could sense as if like a loose motor vibrating. Is there any app to test mic, vibrator, earphone speaker?

I am yet to purchase screen protector and case. I contemplate between Ringke fusion and Spigen ultra hybrid. My kid throws my phone at times. Hence no hard case for now until she understands. Luckily my Optimus 2X survived somehow all these 3 years. Can you guys suggest which case is better in these two?
[Nexus 5 General] Mandeep148:
Dots on screen never can increase.. but yeah.. if u have 2 dead pixel and just noticed only one and next day another one too.. then it doesn't means..dead pixel increases I m engineer and knows about screen.. not pro..

Dead pixel can never get stuck by dust too.. it just cause of any problems can be.. it is manufacturing defect.. if any one got then it will not increase in any way.. just replacement will fix... :)

Dead pixel and stuck pixel are different.. both are manufacturing default.. stuck pixel can be fix by an app called pixel fixer...

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

For stuck pixel u need a pure black blank pic.. open it and take brightness to high then check in dark area..(no light room)

Then see slot..

Also check on all colours some got dead pixel which can test with all colours.. for what pixel not working..
[Nexus 5 General] hiback:
so u mean to say I am safe because I have two dots on the top most part of the screen . and those are not visible at the brightness levels I use my phone on. only thing that is bothering me is if the gradually increase over time.
[Nexus 5 General] Mandeep148:
Depends upon u.. u got defect from stock.. but yeah it will not increase.. obviously u need to replace..

Edit. I had one green stuck pixel..

Its on refund process.. waiting for cheque from lg..
[Nexus 5 General] hiback:
but those are too small how will I tell the service center guy. and if it's not bothering me so should I replace .
[Nexus 5 General] Mandeep148:
That is the really a skill.. I had this situation too. They refused me to replace.. but need your guts in that situation.. file the case at last of they refuse to change..

I know its tiny.. its not noticeable in low brightness.. but if u think that "what!! That tiny pixel? Ohh no problem.." then its will also good.

Otherwise depends upon thinking.. some get fever and some "no problem"

U need to show that at after 6pm low light.. u can say them to turn the lights off for a min..

Then they can notice..

If u don't have any problem then that is also a good medicine.. and because its not a big problem..
[Nexus 5 General] hiback:
ohk thanks but I guess I will keep the device
[Nexus 5 General] Mandeep148:
Good.. because its not a big problem + not noticeable..

[Nexus 5 General] vishnuk15:
I usually don't switch it on unless there is a Wi-Fi network. For example today I was traveling in a bus and the Wi-Fi was completely switched off with only mobile data on. I do use Google now and the location services are active. But they will use Wi-Fi only if it is switched on and connected right? I usually keep my Wi-Fi off all the time.
[Nexus 5 General] chirag_chheda:
Yes WiFi will be used only when on and connected to the network. Until then only your cellular data will be used.

Although I have to say people are usually more worried about the cellular data than WiFi data usage. :p
