People don't get this part at all. It's not about Nexus 4 or 5 or HTC or Sammy.. It;s just the way these eMMC flash chips behave. They fail randomly and there's nothing the OEM's can do about it. That's why they provide us 1 year warranty. It may or may not happen with your device.

My point was N4 is not prone to emmc brick bug... like S3 for sudden death, S2 for emmc brick bug, xperia V for sleep of death bug...

Those links you have provided only shows some of unfortunate users ... there is no specific thread for this issue where many users are facing thisissue so lol :p
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Just like those unfortunate users on the nexus 4 forums, the guys over here and s3, htc one x and other forums were also unfortunate. IT'S NOT A BUG! . It's a hardware failure which can happen on any device which has a eMMC chip irrespective of the phone's OEM.

[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
Well refer this thread for S3 sudden death..

It's clearly Samsung's fault.. that issue gets triggered when you install a custom recovery... so it's not users who are unfortunate there...

BTW I have a past S3 owner & sold that device just because unable to enjoy custom roms, always fear that it may brick it any day...

I'm planning to buy spigen ultra hybrid. Bloody hell, there are some awesome possibilities for backplate! Check out the accessory section. Is it possible on Ringke fusion?

Which one is best and why.. I saw a few videos online but not able to decide :D

Can you post the link to the Amazon one?

[MENTION=4326940]pxdx[/MENTION] [MENTION=5446352]Sukrith[/MENTION]

Be it Ringke fusion of Spigen Ultra hybrid or those cheap quicksand cases. A case will always scuff up certain areas of your device no matter what it's made of. These scuff marks are only visible if you hold it under light and not otherwise. This is another reason why I hate cases apart from it being bulky..

[MENTION=3997407]Royal King[/MENTION]

There's a custom backplate thread for the Ringke Fusion as well :) Actually you need not to use those threads, just use a scale and measure the clear back portion and print out those custom backplates! You get a spare cutout made with the Ringke Fusion. So, you can use it as a medium for measurement as well ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Royal King:
Thanks but which one is better and why, any idea?
[Nexus 5 General] pxdx:
That's the plan, use my son's pic as a DIY cutout.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
1. Ultra Hybrid is certainly more bulky than Ringke Fusion.

2. Ultra Hybrid's volume rocker and power buttons aren't as tactile as the ones of ringke.

3. The lip on the Ultra Hybrid is more as compared to Ringke. (Could be a plus or a negative for some)

These are the only differences between them AFAIK. So, decide what's best for you :)
[Nexus 5 General] Royal King:
Thanks bud. Will Google a bit more about quality and buy it :)
[Nexus 5 General] swat4samp:
Sorry for interrupting the topic about cases/protectors :D Will someone recommend me good kernel manager apps(esp for elemental x, code blue and franco)? There are many apps but i'm not sure which one to use. An app with as minimal tweaks as possible is recommended as i won't tweak kernel much.

Edit: For people who are about to purchase screen protectors, i will suggest matte screen guards. It fits perfectly on the device and looks as if its not even present on it :D But you will observe display won't be clear enough and thats the major fault with matte type. although you can live with it. Main advantage is that u can use it roughly and wont appear any scratches on it. Not to mention your scrolling will be buttery smooth :)
[Nexus 5 General] Royal King:
Use trickster mod. I think that's the best.

Anyways, the elemental x doesn't really require any app as you can easily manage it via the aroma installer when it's being flashed.
[Nexus 5 General] swat4samp:
I heard many users are facing problems with trickster mod as they are reverting settings other than default kernel settings. Thats the main reason i was asking. And yeah, it can be configured via aroma but sometimes i need to modify it while using it. Manually editing conf file and rebooting takes a lot of time :D.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
All kernel apps inflict with ElementalX since the kernel uses it's own config file for reading the values. What do you want to modify exactly while using it daily?? :eek:

BTW, you don't need to reboot after changing the config file.. After editing and saving it, run init.d script as root! That will apply the changes instantly ;)
[Nexus 5 General] swat4samp:
Not to modify. But for monitoring simple statistics, like cpu temp, deep sleep, gpu, max screen off freq etc. And for debugging, its better if there is option to modify on the fly. So there is no need to reboot once we run it as root? Will check it. Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
For all the things you've mentioned, you can use BetterBatteryStats as it records most of the things you've mentioned.

No, you need not reboot once you've run 99elementalx file as root! :good:

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
There's no such thing.. Signal depends on a lot of variables and there's nothing like 'best radio' for airtel or any other carrier.

Flash one, use it for a day.. Look at the signal strengths in battery settings.. Take a screenshot.

Flash the 2nd one and repeat the process. After you've tested them all, compare all the screenshots and settle with the one which works best for you.

PS: Make sure you follow the same daily routine while testing the radios.

No, there's no such app to record the apps which sends text AFAIK.. Most probably it's a SMS app which is causing this. The last time I had seen this is was couple of years ago. it was an android bug which sent random bug reports via SMS.

Traditional way would be to Uninstall all apps which you think might send such sms's and then install them one by one over the next 2 weeks to see who is the culprit.
[Nexus 5 General] india86:

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
I don't know why chargers having the same output current charge at different speeds but I can cross my heart and say that charging your phone using high amp chargers won't ruin the device/battery at all. The phone only accepts what it can from the charger. There's a circuitry which doesn't allow it to pull more current from the charger than required and that's the reason why our Nexus 5 charges at 1700+ at most because that's it's limit. Connecting it to a more powerful charger won't do any good and in the same way it won't damage the phone/battery as well!

This obviously doesn't mean that you can stick your Nexus 5 with any god damn charger. Only charge your device with compatible ones.
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
As long as the output voltage is same as specified by the phone manufacturer, it should be fine. Higher or lower amperage doesn't matter as the battery can pull only to the extent it can.

So you should the output voltage of the charger you're buying.

Sent from Nexus 5!
[Nexus 5 General] Mr hOaX:
There is one more link in that video description which will help you to understand.

Let me explain you in layman's terms.

Charger provides charge to your device. The rate at which this charge is produced by charger is predefined by it's manufacturers and they define it looking at device specifications. So if these manufacturers don't consider the phone's specifications and decide the rate of charge on their own then you know what can happen to your device.. Surely it'll ruin your battery as your battery doesn't support that force of charge.. That is high power charger can damage your battery..

But if you consider nexus charger accessory explicitly available Play Store, it charges nexus devices at faster rate just because Google has made it looking at your device specifications.. The rate of charge which is specified by this vendors at their websites is ideal rate.. Practically most of them you'll either get more rate of charge or less rate of charge..

The battery ? will only be ruined if it doesn't support that rate..

I hope you got it.. Simple terms but difficult for non technical people.. :)

I am using Spigen Ultra Hybrid from past 4 months.. My device fell down many times no damage to case as well as the device.. My recommendations would be Spigen.. Just two cons.. It makes your device quite bulky and screen guard if present peels off sometimes.. :(
