[Nexus 5 General] Horoscope:
guys two questions

can i flash a rom from USB OTG ( what file system do I need to format my pen drive),

can anyone post the flashable zip file for stock kernel 4.4.4
[Nexus 5 General] nitinvaid:
I am using multi rom manager and it will do every thing for you
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
I don't know the price of the battery but there are service centers in Andheri and Malad which I know of.

Andheri Address: LGEIL, Unit No.3,L Wing,2nd Flr., Tax Center, Behind HDFC Bank, Off Saki Vihar Road Chandiwali, Andheri(E), Mumbai ,MUMBAI,MH,

Goregaon: Mayur,Shop No 6, Near MTNL Building, Mumbai , Jawahar Nagar Road No 2, Near Railway Crossing,Goregaon West, Mumbai 400062

You can also call anytime @ 1800-180-9999 and get the rates!

Here you go: http://d-h.st/1lv

Download it and just flash it via a custom recovery. It's a flashable zip ;)

Yes, you can flash a rom directly from a pen drive via USB OTG cable. File system doesn't matter afaik. I've tried flashing from FAT32 as well as NTFS and both worked fine!

You can find the stock kernels over here: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development/kernel-t2518816

Guys I thought the update was just 2.4mb or so... Is the radio from the factory image???
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
This guy who goes by the name of [MENTION=5165311]vin4yak[/MENTION] is so helpful..thanks man..and in future (when we move on from N5), I will go for the same phone that u buy so that I can find u in the "Indian thread", again [emoji106]

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
When google releases OTAs, they just update what's required and patch it. The whole radio isn't flashed and hence it's just 2mb. Whereas what I did was download the updated factory image (whole zip) , extract the radio.img file and make a flashable zip of it! That's why the size differs. :)

Lol. I'm flattered. I'm not planning on giving up on this baby anytime soon! Even if I retire it, my next device will surely be a nexus or Android Silver if they discontinue with nexus. :eek:

[Nexus 5 General] Sukrith:
But doesn't the system also get patched??? I've opened the update.zip of ktu84p and it has a folder just for the patches... Which patch both system apps and their odex files... Won't only flashing the radio cause instability???
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
I don't understand why odex files need to be fixed for carrier issues? :rolleyes: 4.4.4_r2 / KTU84Q is an update released for fixing modem issues which were occurring with select carriers in India, New Zeland and Australia. I can't think of any reason why "system" files need to be altered!

Anyways, you are free to flash the radio or wait for the update! It's finally up to you :)
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
Just now i realised my new nexus has multicolored led and color of led corresponds to the notification icon color... Lol... Lot to learn..

Thanks! Just to confirm, the new radio or baseband version is M8974A-2.0.50.1.17, right?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Yes Sir.

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 PM ----------

Some say clearing appdata and cache of Google services framework forces the update and some say otherwise. Just sit tight and wait patiently for the update. If you're eager, you can always flash the radio if the bootloader is unlocked! :angel:

hello

hello Guys, I got my N5 from USA (D820), can I flash the new rom 4.4.4 R2 released for India, Nz and Aus or is it specifically for the D821 variant?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Patches/Fixes to modem. There were supposedly issues with certain carriers not working properly with the KTU84P radio.

If I were you, I would give it a day or two and then decide. If it bothers you, you can flash back to the radio which you were previously on! :)

---------- Post added at 01:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 AM ----------

The radio used for the D820 and D821 models are the same! You can flash the latest one.

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Yes, some users reported this issue as well. However, I've never faced any issue like this in all this time I've used my device. May be because I'm on a custom rom/Kernel.

The 4636 mumbo-jumbo trick works flawlessly though! :D

Anyone using this. It's a spigen ultra hybrid replica BTW.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
If it's a replica, I wouldn't suggest buying it. I had bought a $3 replica of the same and it turned out to be quite ****ty. This one could be the same thing or not. If you're willing to take the gamble, then only buy it.

Since you're ok with spending 600, I would certainly suggest the Ringke fusion which costs a few hundred bucks more.

update : Hope this helps you guys

please check out the bill of entry i requested -

they are charging 4% additional customs duty regularly for all shipments i guess. :confused:

on top of that dhl says they are charging me 394 rs extra for warehouse charges(one day) and handling charges!!! PATHETIC

what did i pay 25 $ for?

Hope this helps for those importing anything into india.

[Nexus 5 General] udimars30:
Compared to the nexus price why did they charge just 300 more to iphone buyer, that's not acceptable, iphone prices more
[Nexus 5 General] prateek2888:
So the customs is only 2677? What else got added to make it 4k. What's your final cost for 16gb.
[Nexus 5 General] mihir85:
Guys please help,

should I buy the one on indiatimes shopping. Just wondering whether its a US model and they have put Warranty available by mistake, and they might later remove it. Is it possible to cancel order later?

Thanks !
[Nexus 5 General] iamsachin:
For being on the safe side (if you want the device sooner in case Play Store releases it late), put a cash on delivery on Indiatimes.
[Nexus 5 General] bigbiceps:
no, 4k was for some random twitter guy.

i got 3071 rs total ( dhl added their own warehouse and handling charges of 394 rs extra)

you should be a very rich guy to say customs is "only" 2677 rs!! :eek:

it should be 1600 rs according to govt rules.
[Nexus 5 General] prateek2888:
Well from initially expecting 4k according to you, a lesser amount made me say only. Apart from that, going from last year nexus 4 posts, they also had to pay 2k+ mostly. It was lesser earlier when government has lesser duty on mobiles.

You saved 1k! :)
[Nexus 5 General] bigbiceps:
no i never expected 4k! it was a post from some other guy.

i dont know if i have to say yay or nay for 1k :silly:

anyways, apart from the bad customs experience , everything has been great.

I hope my phone turns out to be one of the "good" phones of the lot without defects.

[Nexus 5 General] Oneiricl:
I would really not recommend buying from Indiatimes. They're known for delays and being really painful in case you do have any problems.

Also, I'm generally wary of sellers who say they'll offer you a device both before the official launch and way cheaper than anyone else. I saw a lot of OG Note buyers get burned (I think by Sulekha, but I could have mixed up which site it was), where they ordered 2-3 weeks before the expected date, were promised it before the expected release date and finally ended up getting their phones 3 weeks after the rest of us.

From where did you buy? There's one for 39 cents but I think shipping is a lot more than the product itself..

OK so I tried all the permutation combination but my phone just doesn't charge over 900mA I tried original charger, Samsung's 2A charger, tried different cords, nothing! :'(
[Nexus 5 General] anirudhnyg:
Bought it from here http://m.gearbest.com/cables-adapter/pp_58618.html

Shipping was free

I had ordered 2 separately on the same day both got shipped on the same day .. But only received one [emoji19]
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Just because it's a 2.1A charger, doesn't mean it will charge the device at full pace. Samsung's charger is designed to charge Li-on batteries whereas our lg charger is designed to charge li-po batteries. I don't know whether this plays an important role or not but can't think of anything else. Even my Nexus 5 doesn't charge at full speed with a Samsung 2A charger. It went at 1200mA only. That's why I went ahead with the official Nexus wired Charger from the playstore. Yeah, it's a little pricy, but it's worth it IMHO. I get constant 1600-1680 mA with it! :)
[Nexus 5 General] swat4samp:
A little help guys: When exactly do we know that battery is full? It keeps on charging the device with charged being displayed on lockscreen. Is that it? Doesn't it stop charging animation like in other devices? I also set light manager app to blink led while battery is fully charged but i didn't noticed that at all. Its been nearly 1hr since the charged status is displayed. When should i remove charging?
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
When it says charged :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] swat4samp:
I don't think that when it says charged, its completely charged :confused: Yesterday, i removed charging as soon as i see charged on lockscreen, but when i started using my phone, it immediately started discharging within 2-3 min of usage :eek: Is it normal?
[Nexus 5 General] rkkaranrk:
Yes its normal.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
[MENTION=4478993]swat4samp[/MENTION]

Install Current Widget to cross check when it's fully charged. When it's charging with the stock charger, the current should read between 500-900 when the phone is idle. however when the phone is fully charged, the current starts leaving at around 200-300 mA. (when its idle). As soon as you see this, you know that the battery is fully charged since it's discharging instead of charging.

And yeah, its perfectly normal to drop a few percent after the charger is unplugged.
