As far as I know, elementalx and code_blue both support it, I've tried it with elementalx and I can surely say that it drains a lot of battery and I didn't find the feature worth the amount of battery it drained. But you can still try it out for yourself, its a matter of personal opinion.

i have noticed a strange problem offlate! my nexus restarts in between by itself :eek: what could be the problem ? i keep the temp files and cache in check regularly

Have you undervolted ? It used to happen to me when i set the voltage values too low .the CPU doesn't get enough voltage and reboots
[Nexus 5 General] eshopper:
i usually charge normally and not through cpu.. but sometimes i use CPU in office as well.. sometimes both :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] anirudhnyg:
No no that's not what I mean . is your phone rooted ? And do u have a custom kernel ?
[Nexus 5 General] Aarush:
If he didn't get the general meaning of undervolting, there's a very low chance that his phone is undervolted, just saying :P

Try booting into safe mode and using it for a day or two .

And and hold the power button and then press and hold the shutdown option it will ask you to reboot into safe mode . press yes and you will boot into safe more ..

Here no third party apps will affect your phone so you can find out if its a problem of the apps of of the phone itself

Hi nithin,

I received the Glass Screen Protector from the E-bay Seller. However, i observed that the Peel-Off is present only on one side of the Glass; i.e the bottom side. The Top side of the Glass does not have the Peel-off.

Did you also receive it in the same manner ?

Coz the previous Glass Protector that i had ordered from E-bay from another seller had the Peel-offs on both the sides of Glass and he had also provided Dry and Wet Wipe along with it.
[Nexus 5 General] nithin1992:
Yup I've received it in the same condition as well. Just One peel off but the screen guard itself was placed inside a soft touch pouch. There were no wet n dry wipes other than a lint cloth but honestly they are not necessary either. Just use a wet tissue that you can buy, barely costs 5rs (just wipes) or wipe the screen well with tissue and water followed by lint until you see that there are no major dust particles present(try tilting ur screen under the light). Once you think its fine go ahead and apply it, its easy and works flawlessly. I don't have a single bubble or spider web with it.
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
Are these glass protectors better than regular screen guards when it comes to fingerprints and reflections? how about scratches?
[Nexus 5 General] desihu:
they definitely are better than those vinyl stickers being sold as screen guards. but they do attract lot of fingerprints (local ones especially!).... and are more reflective too however I still would recommend them.
[Nexus 5 General] fusion123:
I have been using Nillkin tempered glass protector for sometime now on my N5 and I guess it doesn't feel or look like it has a screen guard/protector on it. Touch has become super smooth. Also, no scratches in 2 months usage now. Fingerprints will be the same as u have on ur screen without a screen guard. (not too many) But a simple wipe can clear them off. Can't comment about the cheaper ones u get on ebay for 299 or lower as I haven't used them.

[MENTION=4544698]Techimplant[/MENTION] had the same Nillkin one, and his display was saved due to this protector after a fall. So definitely better to spend Rs. 600 than Rs. 7000 for screen replacement later on. If you search this thread with his name, you might see his post with the pics of the shattered glass protector, but clean display. Hope this helps.
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
Thanks for the updates. Probably I will buy a Nillkin Tempered Glass once my I have to change the existing screenguard. I usually buy from ebay.com and its really cheap ( around 130-150 for 5-6 pcs). Even the quality is way better than the local ones.
[Nexus 5 General] rootSU:
I thought of ordering the cheap tempered glass from ebay (₹299) just in case of backup, used one of my unused accounts for WELCOME195 coupon, got it delivered today for ₹149, damn that seller knows how to pack things, took me minutes just to figure out how to open it, would keep this just as a backup in case, seems to be a green colored hi-ten box. See below for some packaging ideas.. :silly:

The humungous ebay bag:

The packaging (yeah it's fully taped and beneath 2 layers of bubble wrap.. :p)
[Nexus 5 General] Royal King:
I ordered one too.. I've put a matte one right now. It's kind of sad :(
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
OMFG!! Other sellers should learn from him! :D lol

I had once bought a matte finish for my HTC One X and removed it the very next day. I can't stand the blurriness or rather reduced sharpness it causes :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] Royal King:
I had good matte one on my GNex before but on this phone its kinda crap. Looking forward to the tempered glass. Installation is like a normal scratch guard, right?
[Nexus 5 General] nithin1992:
Yeah, pretty much. Try and take it slow to make sure its free of dirt particles before applying. Do it right the first time even if it takes a few extra mins to clean up, it's worth it!
[Nexus 5 General] dakshmay21:
Hi!

I'm thinking of buying a Nexus 5 16gb and it's about 2k cheaper on Flipkart. Is it worth paying 2k more for Google Play's warranty service or is LG service okay too?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Up to you to decide. If there's a problem with the device, Google will replace the phone whereas LG will repair it. That's the only difference.

I've bought mine from Croma with an extended 1 year warranty (by paying Rs.700 extra). So, I'm covered for 2 years now :cyclops:
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
Go for it ..

You can buy spigen slim armor case or spigen ultra hybrid with the saved money and still around 1.2k will be in your pocket..

That's what i did ..

Bought it from amazon at 26.7k and got a spigen case with the saved money ..

But if 2k doesn't matter to you that much then you might want to get it from play store with some extra special customer service [emoji1]
[Nexus 5 General] dakshmay21:
I guess I'll go with your suggestion. Protecting the screen from shatter is more important. Rest of the stuff is easily and cheaply repairable.

I'm looking for this http://www.amazon.com/Ballistic-SG-Case-Nexus-Packaging/dp/B00GGL5TIU

Had this on my One X, it took so many falls I'm still amazed.

How is Spigen's drop protection as I do tend to drop my phone once a month or so :s
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
Never dropped it but it feels like it can handle our everyday drops .. And it's one of the few cases which protects whole phone (one free premium screen guard). And there's also one more option ringke fusion case which is 90% same as the spigen ultra , but has better feel in hand and rounded edges .
[Nexus 5 General] dakshmay21:
Does the warranty cover physical damage? And, who's the warranty provider? Croma or some third party?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
No man. No one cover's physical damages. You need either insurance for that or pay around 3k for a separate warranty which covers accidental damages. But it has various clauses in it. In short, take care of your phone and avoid it from any physical damages.

The warranty which croma provides is the same as what LG provides in the first year. If there is any hardware failure which isn't caused by physical damages, they repair it for free. LG itself does the repair. If my device fails after a year, it is covered under "extended warranty". So, I need to take it to croma and their guy will take it to a LG center. The entire process is the same. Only difference is that Croma will do all the legwork :)
[Nexus 5 General] inder swami:
I bought this one

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=251571544772&alt=web

.. It feels cheap. Quality is poor.. Protector is not till the edges .. It looks like it has been cut using scissors. There are marks too on the protector.. Feels so cheap.. Highly disappointed..

Going to put a negative feedback.. The seller was rude too. He didn't let me change my shipping address. I have to go 50km to get this one. ( wrongly put my previous shipping address :P).
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
The cost you might have incurred to travel 100 kms (50 up 50 down) would be more than the protector itself. Lol :silly:

[Nexus 5 General] zurufe:
Received my 'fake' nexus 5 soft case. I don't know how similar this is tp the authentic one sold by Google, but I somehow find it too bulky. Also, I was disappointed to find nexus printed on the backside, while from pictures it looked like it was engraved like on the phone.

Overall though, not a bad deal for 275 rupees (after coupon).

However, a word on the seller: after I ordered and paid, I found a thread here where this guy lovelytomato/casecartindia had been blasted as fraud and what not. I thought my 275 bucks were down the drain. So I called up this guy next morning, found him pretty professional, and surprisingly my case was delivered in less than 36 hours.
[Nexus 5 General] abhi321984:

Hey guyz what is the current price of the phone in lg stores now..the lg showroom here has it sold out and failed to tell me the price.. was thinking of htc one bt I would nw go wid nexus 5 ....and a website(dont remember the name) shows it only for 23500 ..but I m too worried about the quality of online stores in India
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
If they're selling it for 23k, it must be an imported device which means NO WARRANTY.

The price in local offline stores is Rs.30k for the 16GB model and Rs.34k for the 32GB one. However, there are always discounts going on in huge retailers like Croma, Vijay sales etc. Online retailers like Flipkart and Amazon can also be trusted :)
[Nexus 5 General] nithin1992:
Buying them online is way better than buying in store. Try buying directly from the play store or flipkart or snapdeal or eBay sellers which specify clearly that its new+manufacturer warranty available. Don't waste your money by paying extra for the exact same product
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
I bought mine from amazon , and the special thing about it is that it came with handsfree , which i didn't expected
[Nexus 5 General] eshopper:
Indian Version includes headset, datacable & charger
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
Not every Indian version.

Only play store version has hands free.

Afaik
[Nexus 5 General] eshopper:
i bought from ezone online and have seen handsets sold offline having headset ! so every Indian handset has headsets with it :laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
The one sold on flipkart and the local dealers around me doesn't come with headsets , whatever .. I am happy that mine came with it ..

BTW battery life on the developer preview is better IMO compared to kk ..

So the project volta actually works
[Nexus 5 General] nirmalkurienmathews:
I don't know about Flipkart, but local dealers must provide headset. I bought from Croma & I got headset, datacable, charger along with it.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
All Indian Nexus 5's come with a cable, headset and an adapter. The local dealer you're talking about might have imported it for lower price and sell it here for a good margin of profit. That's why it doesn't have those accessories.

I hope they release the lpv81 build soon :p itching to try it out :D Project volta AFAIK lowers the clock speed as well and hence the improvement in battery life when battery saving is activated.
[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
The experimental low power mode also helps a bit

Nexus Charging Accessory

Finally gave in to my temptation and ordered the Official Nexus Charger from the Playstore on the 1st of July and it got delivered today! Excellent packaging by bluedart, solid design and the detachable parts seem very geeky :D It's a 9 Watt 1.8A output charger.

Drained my battery down to 10% by playing Modern Combat 4 and kept it on charging whilst it was on Airplane mode. It went from 10% to 100% in 1 hour and 30 mins! The current was constant between 1600-1700 mA. The current dropped to 1200-1400 when the battery was charged till 90-95% and it kept on falling till it reached 100%.

Totally satisfied with the charger. I know I could have got the folding blade charger which was cheap but couldn't really resist this :silly:

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Yeap, I know it's not justified but it's one of those things for me which I couldn't resist. :o

A 2.1A charger wouldn't be better as the charging speed is capped on this phone at around 1710 mA AFAIK.
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
I use my Nexus 7 charger to charge my Nexus 5 and it charges really fast. A higher mAh charger will not harm as long as the output voltage is same. A battery can pull only that much amperage which it can pull even if you provide more.

Working great . but i suggest you to just not rush to buy new router ..

Try system reboot from admin panel for your router every once a week .. This will help you to solve those signal drops and other problems
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Thanks..That one has good reviews on Flipkart too

And how do I do that admin reboot ? ..sorry I dont know much about routers..

[Nexus 5 General] nomancoolboy:
Go to 192.168.1.1

And in the username type admin password is also admin .

Now go to system diagnosis or any similar tab . and then you will be able to find system reboot .. And DO NOT reboot system with factory default settings unless you know how to reconfigure the router
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
They are available. Search on "ebay.com". If you're worried about the differences in pin, you can get an extension from a local shop which costs Rs.50 and use it :D

I bought this one from flipkart: http://www.flipkart.com/d-link-dsl-...uter/p/itmd4ky52tgtbawn?pid=RTRD4KY4UNGYCZFG&

My old router+modem died and I updated to the above one which is a modem+router. Pretty strong ranges and I'm completely satisfied. :good:

If you can't you will need to do a reset from the physical button on the router most probably to get to the admin page.

Totally depends on the service center. If it's just dust, they'll clean it and give you back within a day or may be then and there. However, if it's a hardware fault, they will need to find out what's causing the issue and then replace the part. If they have that particular part in stock, it will be done quickly, if not, it might take even a week.
