Then its ok for u to go with prepaid lte. Since u bought it full price. That was my plan as well but i get to save a little in the long run with the plan from smart.
[Nexus 5 General] ickoicko:
Yeah, and my heart belongs to Globe really (lol) but then like the prodigal son, he has to come home to his father.

Besides, Globe has been having issues lately.
[Nexus 5 General] jyuuken:
Hahaha im a first time smart user. Been using my globe prepaid for 7yrs already. So i guess its time to retire. And yes theres a lot of going on with globe thse days.
[Nexus 5 General] natadecocolococo:
Is their post paid service good? It'll be my first time on a postpaid account. I've had smart and globe prepaid but I prefer smart's on prepaid since it's cheaper. But I'd probably still get a globe prepaid since people hate texting me on my smart number. :mad:

And lucky you for getting your phone on the same day! Megamall's taking forever.
[Nexus 5 General] ickoicko:
I was a Smart user back in 2004 then switched to Globe for 8 years then moved to Sun. Now mulling about going back to Smart due to the undeniable speed of their LTE. I could be wrong though.
[Nexus 5 General] philpilar:
Our whole family started with globe back in the early 90's then we all switched to smart around 1998 because of hidden charges. We've been with smart since :)

nexus 5 d820

tanong lang po guys. open line din ba yung d820 sa GLOBE. or pang smart lang tlga siya di gagana yung globe sim?

Thanks in Advance sa mga sasagot.
[Nexus 5 General] spine6:
Nope, D820 kasi kasama US frequency hindi tulad ng D821 pang all over the world except US.
[Nexus 5 General] rjyama:
I think it's openline. You just can't use globe's lte network.
[Nexus 5 General] ej8989:
Yes it is openline. I am a globe subscriber using D820 32gb. I can use 2G and 3G but not LTE.
[Nexus 5 General] lesteriiii:
hi, thank you again. I'm planning to buy nexus 5 d820 on thursday, kaya nacurious ako kung openline ba siya. di naman kasi ako msyado nagmobile data.
[Nexus 5 General] ickoicko:
Not to be a douche, but let's use English as a primary source of communication in this thread guys :D Others are also reading the thread.
[Nexus 5 General] spine6:
To clear it, D820 can be use anywhere for 2G,3G but not LTE in some parts of the world(in philippines smart only) while D821 can be use anywhere with LTE ( both smart and globe) except some US carrier.

Service Center

Hi Team,

In case my phone breaks down and I want it repaired by the accredited provider (and I'm willing to pay since I bought from Kimstore), where exactly is the service center? Pareho pa rin ba nung LG service center (which according to their website is Techno Mobile Hub sa SM Sta. Mesa)?

Thanks!

Anyone here on Smart experiencing light bleed visible on black background and brightness level is on maximum in a pitch black room? It's not really noticeable though on normal conditions. I'm thinking if it's worth the hassle of getting a replacement from smart.
[Nexus 5 General] ej8989:
I have visible light bleeding but mine's from google play US. I think light bleed is normal.
[Nexus 5 General] jyuuken:
Smart as well. As for the lightbleed let me try that out. I havent noticed anything. But i did have the yellow tint, fixed using a custom kernel + display control
[Nexus 5 General] dannyella:
I think I'll keep mine since i don't notice the light bleed unless i'm looking for it.. May I ask how you were able to access US play store?
[Nexus 5 General] ej8989:
I had someone buy it for me there days before he went to manila. I notice light bleeding when looking at the screen edges with max brightness and light backgrounds on certain angles.
[Nexus 5 General] jyuuken:
No lightbleeding for me
[Nexus 5 General] shaqshaq:
Mine doesnt have too, locally purchased from kimmydora. LOL
[Nexus 5 General] natadecocolococo:
After a two month wait, I'm really close on giving up on getting my phone from Smart. Their customer service leaves much to be desired, to be civil about it. So anyone knows where I can buy one that accepts credit card/deferred payment?
[Nexus 5 General] Flash05:
Hot gadgets + 13% afaik. Percentage depends on duration of installment
[Nexus 5 General] natadecocolococo:
Thanks! Sent them an inquiry through their facebook. Is the phone not available in cell phone shops in Greenhills or any SM Cyberzone branch?
[Nexus 5 General] jyuuken:
Nope not in gh and cyberzone. Since this was just locally dstributed by smart
[Nexus 5 General] stankyou:
If I'll get the Nexus 5 from US and use it locally via Globe, the only thing I'll lose is LTE capability is that correct? Other than that, it should work fine?
[Nexus 5 General] ej8989:
Yes.

[Nexus 5 General] Abaddon:
every network will work here of you aren't after LTE. If you're after it. and got a D821 use either Globe or Smart. Smart's LTE can work on a D820 but will not on globe. Sun does not have LTE sadly.

edit: mistyped my words :)
[Nexus 5 General] thephantom:
You probably meant, "It it's a D820, LTE will work on Smart only I'm afraid." ;)
[Nexus 5 General] thephantom:
good news on that man. at least we'll have official warranty here like the n4. with them releasing it will surely make gray market prices more competitive.
[Nexus 5 General] evildave_666:
This may be obvious, but don't get a version from US Play Store if you intend on using with Globe.
[Nexus 5 General] harveydent:
Why? Different radios? The Play Store version is carrier-agnostic
[Nexus 5 General] evildave_666:
There are 2 versions. The one sold in North America lacks LTE band 3. The one sold in Europe/Asia has it.
[Nexus 5 General] harveydent:
Ah, thanks! Looks like Smart for me, then.
[Nexus 5 General] thephantom:

[Nexus 5 General] Flash05:
Dbgadget and widgetcity have it too. The latter offers few hundred cheaper
[Nexus 5 General] Gnome:
Cant wait to have this phone in the palm of my hands. Once I have this, the coding goes on... :good:
[Nexus 5 General] fazaragoza:
Take note that widget city offers NON LTE at a lower price as compared to the LTE supported nexus 5.

Just compared widget city and kimstore and the latter seems to have a lower price wit a difference of 120 php only.
[Nexus 5 General] Flash05:
How come there's a non LTE Nexus? I thought all Nexus 5 have LTE
[Nexus 5 General] thephantom:
They most likely just named it that way to differentiate the D820 which works only on smart from the d821 which works for both smart and globe. Sort of like simplifying stuff instead of answering and explaining to their prospective buyers the difference over and over again
[Nexus 5 General] Kilsyth:
Got mine locally for 21,180 before it went up to 21,780. Just make sure to get the D821 model which work with Globe and Smart LTE. Good thing Kimstore and DBgadgets sells the D821 variant.
[Nexus 5 General] Apothis:
21k isnt bad at all, doing a straight currency conversion from what I paid in the uk is 23-24k (for a 32Gb model though).
[Nexus 5 General] edrickmph:
Got mine too. The white nexus 5 lte D821 from widgetcity. I think widgetcity is the one only having the white 16gb now. Got it 22, 390. They gave me discount and free sim cut to micro sim coz me and the owner were from the same sch. Animo!

[GNEX5] Running PURITY-ELEMENTALX
[Nexus 5 General] natadecocolococo:
Oh, so I don't need to have this exchanged for an LTE sim? Noob question but how do I know if it's LTE already?
[Nexus 5 General] thephantom:
All new sims of smart are actually capable of lte. You just either have to enroll in the service for prepaid or have your line fixed for it. Example is I have 2 lines with them. One was an old data line and the other is a freedom plan line. I just went to a smart store to have my old data line migrated to their lte line and that's it. Didn't even need to change sim cards. For my freedom plan line, when i need lte, I just subscribe to it. Same as well that I didn't have to change cards
[Nexus 5 General] natadecocolococo:
Thanks! That's good to know! :) Still checking via speed test if this has LTE speed. So far no luck yet. I'll try in an LTE known area.

[GNEX5] Running PURITY-ELEMENTALX
[Nexus 5 General] edrickmph:
If i read it right in your post you said "its a hassle" to go editing build props. If you will be reading the posts in slimkat, it is the policy of the devs there not to "spoon feed" everything. It lets the custom rom user to explore whats inside the rom. They have a reason why they make the default dpi small. They also have the "chamber of secrets" in the developer options" which if you discover will let you be amazed of whats inside.

I just hope this clears what you have said. Im just presenting and sharing what i have learned from this rom since i used it since i bought the N5 november last year and never changed my custom rom since then.
