[Nexus 5 General] eksasol:
I have no idea what higher bin soc mean, why would Qualcomm manufacturer a weaker chip and labeled it the same model? I am positive the Nexus 5 will run faster with stock and latest Android. Optimus G scoring double than Nexus 4 is a bit of a stretch:

http://www.antutu.net/view.shtml?id=2079 vs http://www.antutu.com/i/view?id=2940

I just have to install a custom kernel to disable thermal throttling on my Nexus 4. You might say custom kernel is for a minority, but it is a key side-feature of Nexus and most people on XDA will do it, otherwise they shouldn't 'need' to be on XDA imo. And this is inconclusive for the Nexus 5 if it will have the same low temperature throttling.

I don't expect greatness from the Nexus 5, but I wouldn't write it off because its $300 cheaper off contract than the G2. Also I don't think Android 4.4 will be buggy, it is to me still an incremental update.

+1 and one more detail... Please! Get rid of palid blue in kit kat.. Make the status icons/interface red, green, gray,whatever, but that horrible pallid blue from stock 4.0/1/2/3. I will probably end using Cyanogen themes, but until I install one, I would like the stock one a little more stylized

- 4h on screen time at a push

- lower quality screen that G2 (color wise)

- awesome benchmark scores (some care)

- geek status and an ugly girlfriend if you get one

In my S2 I have 48GB of storage, going to a 32gb Nexus is a downgrade related to space, an extra card slot, how much cost is it? I would pay for it..

OTG could be a mitigation feature, but still, it put you in an Apple like marketing scheme, not good.
[Nexus 5 General] woaisusu:
i just said about it. Although i think they will never put the extra card slot.otherwise nobody buy the 32G version..they just want the money
[Nexus 5 General] BuzzFuzz:
I think it will be even more devices in the coming years released without sdcard slot. Thats good.

Speed is main problem with SDcard,

Solution is Cloud and OTB, Usb OTB...

Good is that - all companies are investing heavily in the cloud last 2 years.
[Nexus 5 General] Mkvarner:
4 hours screen time during a day on decent brightness.
[Nexus 5 General] Floodland:
If speed is the main problem for SDcards, Cloud cannot be the solution, at all... I could understand that speech from a vendor interested in having your information on their hands, but you should know that speed access through the cloud cannot be faster than any decent card. Not in latency and not in throughput, even with the best network available. And better we do not analyze reliability because that is even worse (the access to your data depends on your network coverage).

OTG is a workaround, but still not enough. SDcard slot is a must, even when they do not want to provide it, we have to request it IMHO
[Nexus 5 General] BuzzFuzz:
:) kk i understand your point of view but...

Google introduced Apps2SD with android 2.2 (Froyo), which allowed users to move certain apps to the SD card and run from there. This feature has been troublesome in itself, because even though it only required one new line of code, developers were slow to update apps and allow movement to the SD card. I know that some of you are addicted to your SD cards :P but the reality is that expandable storage is quickly becoming an unnecessary feature, because that storage is being shifted to the cloud (Talk, Picasa, Google Music)...and most of them reduce your need for large amounts of storage on your device. And device can be cheaper.

Google likely also sees that expandable storage and SD cards will become unnecessary given the emergence of the cloud, but we aren't quite there yet, especially without better solutions for syncing app data and transferring data to new devices.

Looks like (again) google may be a bit too forward thinking for its own good, and it may be pushing too hard to get the Nexus and stock Android into the hands of casual consumers. Just because google wants a wider audience doesn't mean it needs to alienate advanced users. Like it or not, Nexus appeals to advanced users who don't want manufacturer UIs, carrier bloat, or difficulties associated with encrypted bootloaders.

Cheers Floodland
[Nexus 5 General] daern:
Apps2SD sucked from day one. As an app developer, it's a nightmare - as soon as you plug the device into a laptop, the application vanishes from the device, so it either requires special work to manage this, or the app just crashes in a big heap. If the app has widgets, it's twice as bad. USB Mass Storage itself is just as problematic - as soon as you hook up the device, all of the storage vanishes from the phone so if you're listening to music it will die. MTP ain't great, but at least it doesn't do this.

I miss them as much as the next person, but I don't see SD cards coming back any time soon.
[Nexus 5 General] shadowcore:
Except that cloud storage is a bad idea in general. Why would I want to give google the right to store my data? There are other reasons aswell such as connectivity issues,adding another unnecessary layer of burden just to store something, security and so on.

MicroSD slots maybe be troubleing but the sollution to that would be bigger stock storage sizes. There are 128 GB microSDs available. Why cant manufacturers add those into phones? You know how much a 128 GB one costs? Its €50. Thats the price we pay to get a phone from 8GB to 16GB or 16 to 32GB?

I think its wrong to say expandable storage is becoming unnecessary. I store my music, vidoes on my sd card. When I change my phones, I have all that in my SD card. No middle layer or software I need to access my files or connection to the internet.

And you cant store apps in the cloud and then use delete them at will.
[Nexus 5 General] ranadylt:
Different people have different needs.

The way I see it is that one could argue the hell out and say that sdcard is unnecessary, lame, old school and whatever else, and the other could just simply counter that and say they have a use for it, convenience, no reliable data connection whatsoever.

These talks about sdcard isn't going to ever end, at least not for the next few (or several) years.

Oh well, still fun to read these arguments :p
[Nexus 5 General] BuzzFuzz:
:D lol ok enough about sdcards, clouds.
[Nexus 5 General] kamranhaghighi:
get a camera!!! also i even think n4 camera isn't bad!!!! i mean its not great but common its good!!! great pics:P
[Nexus 5 General] shadowcore:
Well, you right, but we would not be talking about this if stock storage in highend phones was at around 32GB or 64GB, 128GB, 256GB....

Its 2013 and we still have 16GB as standard for phones and 30% to 40% of that is taken up by the OS, bloat and so on.

I really wonder why this is? Has it got to do with the whole cloud storage? Google has it, but what about the others? Or are they copying apple with its itunes?

It does not make sense to me.
[Nexus 5 General] chakra:
Dude I hope they have an SD card in the Cloud. That would be the best of both worlds!
[Nexus 5 General] BuzzFuzz:
Thats it. I think google push cloud services a bit forward with every single release (Android, ChromeOS) and thats good in my eyes.

More users + more devices = increasing demand for faster mobile internet speed.

Only some mobile operators need to follow - their main purpose is still the same - pull from our pockets as much money as possible.

Just think what happend with CromeOS, great stuff but 70% people around the glob can't use OS for normal operations.

Again problem, slow internet connections. Google was sure in year 2012 world will be more hi-speed covered with optical internet.

I don't know if u know for project FLAG (Fiber-Optic Link Around the Globe). Almost every world country is covered with optical

internet the main fu*king problem are our stupid internet providers. They still selling old technology.
[Nexus 5 General] chakra:
I just thought of a brand new invention, maybe the nexus 6? They can have cloud phones. They will be phones that are stuck in certain geographic areas or "locations", maybe we could have them each inside an "egg", wait, no, a "booth" type thing. And we could only use them when they need them. Eventually there could be one on every corner. Brilliant!

[Nexus 5 General] BoOsT:
I agree on battery. If the battery in a multitasking phone isn't going to last all day, make it remove able. That is my only complaint. I also believe pie should be an option. I enjoy using every inch of my screen for Purdy icons and widgets :D
[Nexus 5 General] oldtimer42:
1) Decent performance and awesome battery life. Decent battery with better power management from Qualcomm chip would be a deal maker. (pending evaluation)

2) No glass back that shatters if you look at it wrong (complete) or requires a big case. Leaked pictures look good.

3) Love wireless charging on my N4.

4) Dont care about camera. Should be ok not like Sony. Early specs sound fine.

My N4 is ok at best. Do not get a full day with high phone usage out of it. Do not want to be charging through the day. Hate having to sport a case on it 100% of the time. Use a ballistic case for times when I'm not downtown and a slim nilikin case when I'm downtown having meetings.

My N4 is under a year old... so cant afford upgrading at this point.. oh well

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uncledeewz:
I just ordered this phone and have some last minute questions.

Should the first thing I do when I get the device be to root it?

Will I loose something if I decide to use it straight out of the box and then later decide to root?

I kinda get the impression that you have to do a factory reset after rooting, am I correct assuming that? If so I might as well begin with rooting.

And lastly, if I root will I be able to receive updates from LG and installing without it messing up the phone?

Sorry for all the questions, even though I've been using Android for several years I really haven't rooted before, so just want to be safe ;)

Anyways, thanks to anyone who wants to teach me and put my worries to rest :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 06stang:
If you root you'll lose the opportunity to get OTAs but you can just install them as a stock ROM that's been updated to it.

[Moto X Q&A] freeintruth:
I just saw this newly developed app, Themer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycolorscreen.themer&hl=en

Is anyone using it? How does it work? I guess the easiest solution is just to install it. But the waiting list is so long. I want to know if this app can install a homescreen theme without purchasing the apps that the original designers used. Thanks.
[Moto X Q&A] flashallthetime:
Looks like you can do the same stuff with exposed framework

Sent on my Moto X
[Moto X Q&A] gunnyman:
yeah. I am using it. waiting for more themes. I check it every couple of days to see if I like any of them.
[Moto X Q&A] mentose457:
I'm not 100% sure what will happen if you get a theme that used widgets you don't have. The themes that come preinstalled use Themer widgets that come with the launcher so they work out of the box on any phone. One of the widgets is very powerful like uccw.

Sent from my Moto X.
[Moto X Q&A] freeintruth:
Well, the waiting period was shortened. With this code "MSTRCD" I was able to use Themer...after five minutes, I decided to uninstall it for such reasons as: 1, not really customizable after I applied a theme. For instance, I cannot resize a widget. 2, There is no simple way to switch a default app if I change my mind later.

Themer indeed can do multiple homescreens. But again, it is hard to Create anything new.

So far, the major downside of Buzz is it consumes more rams than Themer.

If you are interested in using it now, I got the code from here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/10/10/grab-this-themer-beta-invite-code-good-for-40000-uses-and-help-mycolorscreen-test-its-beefed-up-servers/
[Moto X Q&A] mentose457:
I bet most people that build themes will use the included widgets and other built-in features. You can have as many pages you want and can have different wallpapers for each of them. Have a look at this video about how to theme with Themer...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=kJUZM0Vl3Ys
[Moto X Q&A] eyeisdasteve:
Its cool. Just needs more themes!!
[Moto X Q&A] _MetalHead_:
I just got it set up yesterday. It's a really cool concept and it works as advertised but there just aren't any themes that I like at the moment. I'm sure once it's out of beta a ton of themes will pop up.
[Moto X Q&A] KNiGHTx4:
I've had it for about a week and I like it. Like said above , it needs more themes but that will most likely not be a problem when it is out of beta. And to the post above it is actually still very customizable. More that the stock launcher but not as much as something like nova. I am impressed by it and can't wait to see what they bring in the future.
[Moto X Q&A] eyeisdasteve:
I agree. I prefer nova for now. Maybe once some more themes are out I'll switch over.
[Moto X Q&A] freeintruth:
Got a free code for Themer: TJMUH7. Enjoy :)
[Moto X Q&A] Psilocin:
I tried it, but concluded that Themer is basically for the less experienced and the lazy users. The biggest problem with it is that it requires you to set it as your default launcher, which means that you lose all the useful features of nova launcher or whatever custom launcher you had before. No matter how simple it is to switch themes, the launcher is too important to the overall android experience to replace it.

With that said, if you take the time, you can port whatever full theme you like from mycolorscreen.com using the appropriate apps and get proper theming without replacing your launcher. Personally, themes are not a big deal because I feel like I will get bored of it very quickly. So I just stick with changing the wallpaper once a week and call it day.
[Moto X Q&A] av78130:
Its a pretty cool app that makes theming your phone really easy by just selecting the theme, downloading it, then apply. It's kind of like the MIUI theme app but I think that was for just lock screens. There was a couple really neat themes I liked, I just couldnt sacrifice all of my nova launcher settings for this launcher. Plus having quick access to my most frequently used apps on the desktop was a must.
[Moto X Q&A] AndreaCristiano:
Was but the themes sometimes are more restrictive than I would like
[Moto X Q&A] cc16177:
This^

I've only been using it for a few hours and as much as I love the look, I don't know if I can sacrifice the function of Apex/Nova.
[Moto X Q&A] mentose457:
I know I would like to see gestures and more transition animations added to Themer. What functions are you guys missing?
[Moto X Q&A] AndreaCristiano:
Basically the themes sometimes are too all encompassing
[Moto X Q&A] mentose457:
I agree. Why not make your own? There are some really nice features. The themer everything widget just like uccw but imo better implemented. You can easily, without another app, set different wallpapers for each page. I'm pretty optimistic that it will turn into a great launcher, possibly better than the competition.
[Moto X Q&A] AndreaCristiano:
Possible we will see
[Moto X Q&A] mtoomey79:
If you find something you like, you CAN spend a few minutes to tweak it to your liking. I found one and changed the background to black - bam! Done.

No problem. IIRC simiclock/simitext are two examples. They are automagically there.

Again, it was about a five minute learning curve, without looking at the tutorial to start making my own, BASED off of what I downloaded.

I specifically like the theme "Now" and turned the background black. Download something close to what you like and then head to the latrine for a deuce. You will leave with something you can work with.

They just removed this from the voting yesterday, maybe they are adding this in soon?

I ultimately stopped using themer for the time being due to lack of functionality with G+ and Hangouts. I really like the unread SMS and Email counter that you can add (like I did with my modified "Now" theme), but something similar should/could be added for G+, Hangouts and surely other things that people use (voice, skype, IRC...)

BTW, I have nothing to do with this app. I'm fighting my hardest to stay stock/unrooted with my Moto X and themer is pretty nice helper when I start to get bored.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harrisonkevin:
I am trying to root my Galaxy S2.

So I followed instructions online, I booted in debug mode, connected the USB cable then pressed the up powerbutton to start the mode, I then opened up Odin v3 3.04 and it showed up with a device connected. I selected the correct .tar file under PDA and clicked start. It says "setup connection" and freezes at that.

I tried redoing it because it wasn't working. Eventually I decided to see if it was just the program. I opened Samsung Kies and it couldn't connect. It tried connecting for a long time and eventually just gave up.

The weird this is that when I plugin the USB cable my computer actually recognizes it as a Samsung Device because the first time I plugged it in it installed drivers automatically using Kies.

I tried using different USB ports, tried using a different cable and I tried charging it.

I couldn't tell if it was fully charged but it charged for 8 hours so I'm sure it was charged fully. Still didn't work.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling kies, now it is connecting with Odin but it wont connect with kies at all. But its now showing this error.

Hello,

Although I like my One, the battery and bad camera have to go. Thinking about the G2 but both trips to verizon and att stores left me a bit disappointed. I use Bose In Ear MEI 2 headphones. The One let me use the mic and button on headphones (Jay's Headset Control), however, when using it with the LG mic did not seem supported and even Jays headset control couldn't get the buttons to work for music.

Do you have any experience with these headphones?

Additionally if these don't work are there any headphones that will work letting me speak via mic and use controls for music? I hate taking out the phone everytime I need to change a song.

Thanks!:good:
[G2 Accessories] lyrical1278:
I just got these today from best Buy Mobile

LG HBS730 Tone+

Now I don't even have to touch my phone. And the battery is lasting from what I see. I might do a full review another time (tons of them on youtube). But ALL features of this headset work including FF and Rewind. Had to take a call with them and the headset vibrated and my caller had no issue with hearing me since they have noise cancellation features.

They said you can connect 2 devices to these things. From reviews, one reviewer had this connected to his phone and his PS3 at the same time. Which is a plus to me so I wouldn't have to disconnect from one device to use it on the other. For music, since I use Viper4Android and the volume boost hack, music sounds great (couldn't tell you from default as I'm not a fan of default volume on Android phones)

But I can testify all controls work and, since both the headset and the G2 are apt-X capable, audio quality is really good (said this earlier I know).

Oh, there is an app that LG makes called BT Reader+ that will read to me any text message or notification I get. Comes in handy when I don't even want to touch my phone to respond to a text right away. Unfortunately, you can't respond unless you use Google Now or Voice command.
