Nexus 5 battery endurance test by gsmarena,

http://blog.gsmarena.com/nexus-5-grinds-through-our-battery-test-routine/

guys the battery is not as worst as I anticipated, It just live up to my needs, I need my smartphone to live from morning to bed time with my moderate use and don't consider other reviews because we are indian's and we are on 2G while others are 4G LTE 24/7 ! :hehe:
[Nexus 5 General] annu19:
Okie I got my answer guys, "You got to be happy with whatever you got" I'm Scared now, just cant count on play store now specially when I'm getting the same device at the same price.:mad:
[Nexus 5 General] prateek2888:
Maybe find someone to buy the 16 GB from you, am sure there must be someone
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Yep, snapdeal pre-order was the best buy considering google is silent right now for Indian availability. Even if google launches N5, it still will charge us 29k, so snapdeal's deal is is as good as play stores.
[Nexus 5 General] ajainandroid:
How can the Shipping be same for every part of INDIA , the cost has to differ , that's why i think the Shipping is not included in play store price .

But i HOPE too it is the FINAL PRICE .
[Nexus 5 General] nishthecooldude:
16gb white available on Snapdeal....Those looking for white order asap before it becomes OOS
[Nexus 5 General] athani:
If 5-10 of you who don't have it yet buy together from the US Play Store, you might save a bit on shipping. And get it by a certain date.
[Nexus 5 General] masterkdxp:
According to Google

So there might be shipping charges on top of the price. Still I hope I am wrong and it is final price in play store.

Will I be able to downgrade to KitKat after I flash the official Lollipop build later this month

just asking as this is the first time I am using Android, as Apple never allows downgrade after a window period of a couple of hours to a day
[Nexus 5 General] :
Yes just flash the Kitkat Factory Images but you have to loose all your data.
[Nexus 5 General] Sy1ar:
the official build will not upgrade my bootloader making the old image incompatible?
[Nexus 5 General] jdprocks:

U can do whatever u want

U can always downgrade your bootloader
[Nexus 5 General] :
The Kitkat Factory Images contain Bootloader also. It will be flashed. If not present flash the Bootloader manually before flashing the Kitkat images.

As the error suggests, system.img is missing or corrupt.. Extract and see whether your package has system.img or not..

You can ignore the "sig" errors.

also any idea how to root this thing.... need to get adaway installed
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
If you like to live dangerously, you could flash the permissive boot.img and then flash a custom recovery followed by SuperSu.zip..

lol jk..

worst case scenario would be that you'll need to flash back the stock boot.img again if the phone doesn't boot after flashing the permissive boot. Could give it a swirl and report back! :)

Hi Guys,

Can somebody let me know what is the best way to backup my data before I factory reset my N5 and prepare for a fresh install of lollipop. I don't want to miss out on data after I upgrade.

PS - The normal USB method is not working in my case...all it says is 'calculating time to copy required files'.

Thanks a lot,

Guys been using Lollipop for a day now... Here is my view at things...

1. People who rooted... you are surely gonna feel a lag... its because the kernel is getting tweaked... i just flashed the boot from lrx21o and its so so smooth!!! Ive been cursing google for the lag whole day :P

2. ES file explorer is not having root access...

3. MX is not working!!!!

4. Light flow is having this annoying notification

5. I really do miss V4A and Xposed... Hope they will be here soon...

I just love it and im so not reverting back!!!
[Nexus 5 General] :
Use VLC. No lag on ElementalX kernel.

For root app to work flash this pie patch through recovery.

[Nexus 5 General] nirmalkurienmathews:
For anyone facing problems with V4A in Lollipop (LRX21O), try changing to Permissive with the SE Linux Mode Changer app and set Сompatibility mode in the Viper app.

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

Try using functions of adb through CMD. The normal way of copying won't work most of the time, where you can easily copy anything using the traditional CMD with adb pull command.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
First of all I want to say that I really feel for you dude. But these water damages are a real pain in the arse.

Coming to your questions...

1. Charge for an hour and try to boot it as you usually would. After you feel that the booting is done (few mins), connect your phone to the computer and see whether you can access your phone via PC? Or whether it's being detected as a Android Debugging Bridge in Device Manager. (Assuming you have setup adb and enabled usb debugging in developers options)

Another way would be to call your device and see. (If the sim and/or tray isn't damaged)

2. Hold down Power Button and volume down button for some seconds till your phone gets to the bootloader. (Assuming the phone's working).

Now open a terminal and run "fastboot oem device-info"

If you had unlocked the bootloader, it should say so on the terminal. If it does, you are assured you have the same motherboard.

3. LG Service center is recommended since they're guaranteed to provide original things. Try a different service center in your locality.

4. No. Water damages aren't covered under warranty and hence "RMA" can't take place. They'll tell you to visit a LG center.

5. No. It isn't. Water damages aren't covered under warranty.

6. Why would you want to complain about a LG center to Google? Why will google listen to your complaints? You should contact the regional office of LG. You can request their number using Just Dial App or by calling (022)28888888

7. As I said earlier, assuming you've access to adb, you can use adb commands to backup your data. However, if you've setup screen lock, then you can't. You'll need to go to recovery and then perform adb commands which is next to impossible with a borked screen.

8. You can't. You need professional help.

9. I also live in Mumbai and there are various LG centers over here. Try a different one. BTW, Which one did you go to last time??
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:

[Nexus 5 General] Aarush:
Same here, in KitKat with Code blue kernel, I used to get 4.5 hrs of SOT, but this time I've got like 2.75 hrs, but maybe we have to wait for it to settle down, because I noticed that it drained from 100 to 50 really fast, and then gradually the draining rate came down.

Those are great results, are you on everything stock?
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
Stock with franco kernel and few third party apps installed. Not much modification except dpi change.
[Nexus 5 General] Aarush:
So just to be sure, we have to flash twrp just like we used to in KitKat, and then install the kernel of our choice through recovery? (I'm not rooted yet, complete stock)
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
Absolutely! It's a same procedure. Alternatively, you can flash kernel via fastboot as well if you happen to get it in .img format. Its nothing but boot image as you may already know.
[Nexus 5 General] Aarush:
Yeah I was thinking the same, but having a good recovery would be nice too, haha. Thanks! :D

That's right. Custom recovery is very essential for android modding. And twrp is absolute bliss and convenient for same purpose!
