[Nexus 5 General] Ltdrev:
When im in ontario I use my Wind sim provided by work but If it was my initiative I would't, coverage outside GTA is crappy so I end up using my personal N5 with Bell anyway since I have unlimited roaming and Bell LTE is top notch.. for now in canada Bell is the s#@t

Videotron is offering some cheap plans but only in quebec and limited coverage Wind was supposedly expanding in ontario and the west but I don't think it's working as plan for them, I tried Videotron 79$ a month unlimited but with pricey roaming plan it is slow outside populated areas (3G only) and if your data exceeds 5GB they reserve the right to trottle down your connection furtermore so it's not true unlimited ... Im with Bell since 2001 but tried many many others over the years, unlimited data plans usualy don't last (just recently Telus put the axe over Public Mobile CDMA only unlimited plans) the only solution im told is to write to CRTC and ask for it every years, im also asking every relatives and co-workers i know to lobby to Sprint and other US carriers in the form of written demand to come to Canada ... for what it's worth
[Nexus 5 General] force70:
You say that now lol...I know a few ppl switched from bell or rogers to wind and they all regretted it. Once you have had LTE and great network coverage its difficult to do without it.

Sent from my G2,Note 3 or S4
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
I switched to Wind (5GB, $30) from Telus (1GB, $60) and haven't looked back. I guess H+ speeds are plenty for my needs, and I get similar signal in tough areas.
[Nexus 5 General] NotFromMountainView:
If it's just a matter of price then Wind can't be beat. I've been on it in Toronto for a few years & it's been great for my needs. I pay $30/month for unlimited calls, text, various calling features & semi-unlimited data. (Semi-limited: I believe that speed gets significantly throttled if you manage more than 5 GB/month, but I've never hit this level - and I'd still take throttled data over a hard cap. And how much is that 5 GB anywhere else?) My circumstances are ideal for Wind - I'm downtown & virtually never trek out of the coverage zone (I don't drive!)

There's no contract so no risk in giving it a try to see if it is acceptable to you.
[Nexus 5 General] kilometers4:
Yeah. I usually get those speeds with bell anyway.

Yeah that's my thinking. My contract would be up so if I don't like it I could just go back.

I'm hoping the coverage isn't too spotty.

And I have 1gb now so 5 would be awesome. I used to have 6 with Rogers and it was amazing not to have to always worry about going over.
[Nexus 5 General] NotFromMountainView:
You'd still have 6 with Wind, just that the 6th would be slower -- but to get mail, notifications, GoogleNow, check a webpage, etc., you're not screwed & you're not hit with some huge penalty. Ditto for 7th GB, 8th...9th...

FWIW, I'm on a pay-go plan so there's absolutely nothing locking me in.
[Nexus 5 General] crayonhead:
Before I begin: I'm a rather special case, and rather biased based on my own experiences with each mobile carrier

My nexus 5 is my test bench, so I don't need calls or texts. I ended up going with a mobile tablet plan (BYOD) on my nexus 5, which saves me more than using my phone network's data plan in the long run. I use about 3-4 gigs/month on my nexus 5 of just pure data, because I end up using it during long bus rides (Go to school 5 hours from home) and tethering while i'm out and about.

What you honestly need to ask yourself is this. Are you going to be traveling around a lot and do you need data?

IF you are traveling, you're going to have problems with Chatr, Wind, and Fido.

If you read the fine print, Chatr and Wind has it's service network in only a couple of areas, and everything else is on their "no worries" network. You'll get hit with fees if you're in the "no worries" area.

Wind is good for big cities, such as Toronto or Vancouver, but it also ends up not having 4g or HSPA+, so you'll get slower data in general.

Fido runs on the Roger's network in Canada, which isn't as well developed as either Telus or Bell, so you may get service interruptions/out of network issues outside of larger cities. (Haven't extensively tried them due to getting calls about unpaid debts of someone unrelated)

I'm currently on Koodo, on a basic as hell plan (100 minutes, 5pm-8am unlimited national, unlimited texting, no data) on a different phone, which covers all my needs.

I haven't tried Virgin Mobile Canada or Solo Mobile, so I can't say much, except that they're both under bell's network, which means you won't have problems with service.

TL;DR you might be better off with your current contract if you don't need that much data.
[Nexus 5 General] ptesmoke:
I've been with all the big three...west of Ontario bell sucks..you'll drop calls all the time because its roaming and hopping on telus towers and telus gives bell the back burner priority.

rogers doesn't have any hopping issues and in cities their LTE is unmatched.but their urban coverage is beginning to rival bell and telus as well.

at the end of the day their all crooks in my eyes, just like isp's.

different carriers work better in different areas, the tough part is finding which suits your usage and needs the best.
[Nexus 5 General] crayonhead:
That's really odd. I've never had problems with Bell through Western Ontario (Visiting friends at Western). But then again, YMMV. I wish Rogers would extend deeper into the country through. Going from London-Sarnia-Toronto-Kingston-Ottawa-Montreal has me fine with Bell, and Telus. I should try with my friend's Rogers phone. Mind you, if they have a BYOD tablet plan, I'm perfectly willing to hop onto Rogers on my tablet to give them a whirl.
[Nexus 5 General] ptesmoke:
they do have a byod plan. but like you said sometimes signal is not so great. however when I'm on the lake fishing I have signal and my telus friends don't. they all have their "spots"

and I meant west of Ontario...like Manitoba sask Alberta etc. Ontario is pretty much blanketed

Wifi cannot be turned on anymore

Hello all,

Now my Nexus 5 cannot be turned on wifi anymore although I change the kernel and Rom. Please advise. Thank you
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
Download the original stock rom from here (make sure you get the right device though)

Follow the directions on that page to install adb/fastboot and use the flash-all script included with the factory image to install the stock system.

(this will wipe everything off your phone and return it to a brand new factory device... With an unlocked bootloader of course, complete stock rom, stock kernel, stock recovery)
[Nexus 5 General] sluma:
anyone know if the nexus 5 will work with the new LTE 700mhz spectrum?
[Nexus 5 General] brar.arsh:
Thanks.. We dont have that much data, it's fine with 20-30Mbps..

5GB data is just not enough these days..

SO Guys UK started shipping as well..

We are left behind by Google this time, AGAIN!!!
[Nexus 5 General] thatguy97:
Yes!! Placed an order! Shipping out in 3-4 weeks!
[Nexus 5 General] christx:
I assumed mine would have been shipped today, guess not. My order went through right at launch, so this makes me sad :crying:
[Nexus 5 General] sishgupta:
It's definitely disappointing to see that Canada didn't start shipping today like everyone else.

Or we did but didn't get notified.

Regardless I'm still happy that we were able to order them at all.
[Nexus 5 General] JLishere:
We're all in the same boat. Mine says it will ship by Nov 5th, but shipping is anywhere from "2 to 7 business days".

So worst case is I'll be receiving it 7 business days later on Nov 13th.

Keep your expectations low people.
[Nexus 5 General] comminus:
Worst case is the Nov 15. The day of shipping is considered "day 0", November 11 is a holiday, and weekends obviously don't count.
[Nexus 5 General] JLishere:
Good point. And because Nov 15th is a Friday, the post office will be experiencing delays due to the first snow storm, so it's probably going to be Nov 18th. :(
[Nexus 5 General] htc fan89:
Wow I think the reason why no Canadian orders got shipped,is its shared with the Americans.since we are getting it from USA that adds more delay...UK has their stock in uk.not like us why can't google have an warehouse in canada?
[Nexus 5 General] comminus:
UPS logistics handles storage, fulfillment, and shipping. This is why initial scan and shipment happens from Louisville, Kentucky. No Google warehouses involved.
[Nexus 5 General] Gorgenapper:
Well, I'm on board. Ordered today, status pending (shipped in 3-4 weeks). I got the 32gb version (black), and I hope not to upgrade for the next 3 years at least. Does this phone work on LTE in Canada (Fido/Rogers)? Probably not...right? Band 7 is not there (2600mhz). Also, does this have an LED notification light? I think it does at the bottom, but I could be mistaken.

Also, I see a lot of people getting the Spigen Neo Hybrid case. Well, I decided to get the "Hyperion LG Google Nexus 5 Explorer Hybrid Case / Cover" from EBay. It's basically kind of the same idea...an inner silicone case with an outer plastic shell, except that this particular case completely covers the back and includes a kickstand. Bulkier than the Spigen, for sure, but I don't mind it. It's also $9 USD, but +$7.50 shipping to Canada (I ship mine to an address in the US, and it gets to me from there).

Anyway, assuming my order goes through, glad to be on board. I think I've had it with OEM bloatware and other useless crap. Just give me stock Android, instant updates, 5" IPS LCD screen, Snapdragon 800, 2gb ram and I can deal with the other drawbacks of the Nexus 5:

- 32gb of storage...I lived with 32gb on my old iPhone 4S for 2 years, I think I can do the same with this one. The difference is, I'll be able to drag and drop videos/music/pics on and off my phone using just Windows Explorer instead of using that garbage known as iTunes.

- 2300 mAh battery... with what I've heard about the Snapdragon 800's power efficiency and the overall efficiency of stock Android, I don't think this will be an issue. In any case, when the battery starts to go bad, it looks very easy to remove the back of the phone and replace the battery.
[Nexus 5 General] comminus:
Congrats!

There is no band 7 on the North American variant, Rogers has LTE on band 4 as well, and there is a notification light.
[Nexus 5 General] killjonny:
I attempted to order yesterday but the transaction failed because I didnt get paid until today. Google sent me a receipt despite the failed payment. I figured it would have dropped out of my cart, but i just went back in and updated the payment details and it said its successful. My order date still says yesterday. The original email says ship by nov 5th. No emails since then have had a different date. Is there anywhere in the wallet or play store that shows the date its supposed to ship by? I cant find it. I dont know if mine will ship later now because i didnt add payment until now and current orders will take a month to ship.
[Nexus 5 General] JLishere:
Go to your Play Store account. Under Status, you should see 'Leaves warehouse by November 5th'. Click on Info. Most likely, it will say 'Pending', since the device hasn't shipped yet. It will change to 'Shipped' on or before November 5th.
[Nexus 5 General] Gorgenapper:
Thanks for the info and the confirmation. I'm on Fido, so I believe I get band 4 LTE as well (2100mhz as stated on the Fido website, which is the same frequency as Rogers). I'm finding that I love the notification light - it doesn't light my screen up during meetings or discussions, which has the potential of showing private information if I happen to leave my phone on my desk while I'm working, and I think it's awesomely minimalistic and simple.

I can't wait to get it....
[Nexus 5 General] marinierb:
Fido runs on Rogers' network.
[Nexus 5 General] BMelz:
Does anybody known if we'll have to pay brokerage fees on delivery?
[Nexus 5 General] force70:
Hmm this has me rethinking my order..I am way to used to my 100+mbps speeds on my s4 and note 3...if 30 or 40 is all the n5 will do its going back for sure...thats too slow for me anyway.

Is it a hardware limitation or something we can hack software wise I wonder?

[Nexus 5 General] killjonny:
Hmm....the play store still says "Declined" on the devices menu. If I click on the info link for the decline it shows the order and says "pending". But there is no "leaves warehouse" text.

After i updated my payment i got an email "You have successfully updated your payment information for Google Order #XXX. Google Canada Corp. may now charge and fulfill your order. " No more emails after that.

So is it still declined, or is the play store just not updated yet??

In my google wallet it has a status of pending.

these are the only details:

"Nov 1 » You updated your payment for this purchase from Visa-XXX to Visa-XXX.

Oct 31 » Your Visa-XXX was declined for this purchase."

Based solely on colleagues' experience ordering the N4 last year...no we shouldn't get hit with any BS brokerage or otherwise fee. I believe that the courier will also just leave it at your door without a signature, so it's advisable to be around to accept delivery... YMMV of course.

Now I got a notification saying that my white one that was supposed to ship on Nov 8th has shipped but the first 2 that I ordered are still pending!
