Anyone trying to get it in Belfast then they won't sell it to you in Carphone Warehouse. THEY DONT HAVE THEIR SYSTEMS EQUIPPED WITH THE PRICE YET.

#FAIL
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
me too ... in the night the stormy nightt.....lol, its on there google+ post for the nexus 5 ... mentions "order by 8pm and get it tomorrow "
[Nexus 5 General] Tom540:
For everyone who ordered it from Play when it said 2-3 weeks, how long did it actually take? Just ordered the 16gb black N5 now
[Nexus 5 General] leomd333:
i can't answer that question as i got mine next day delivery from Three....But, from what i have read, some people are getting theirs a few days after ordering when it said 2-3 weeks :p
[Nexus 5 General] borchgrevink:
Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere, but any place to buy over counter? I will be in London this weekend.
[Nexus 5 General] leomd333:
Try "The carphone warehouse" and try a "Three" store, in got mine on contract on three...but most places are selling it on PAYG for £399 :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] FlexiPack:
Does it just go straight back to Google? Do Google email to confirm they received it?
[Nexus 5 General] Celedin:
From what others have said it seems there are a few rogue carphone warehouses still selling at £295 otherwise you'll have to pay the hefty premiums O2 and the like are charging...
[Nexus 5 General] FlexiPack:
I ordered one on Monday, it said 2-3 weeks delivery but it's coming tomorrow.
[Nexus 5 General] tintin1892:
Any cheshire nexus users about

Very happy with the phone rooted and running smooth 32gb. First nexus ever. Waiting to install custom recovery but reading the reviews going to wait until everything is guaranteed. Being a noob with ADB and Fastboot.
[Nexus 5 General] Reynaldo28:
Ordered a black 32gb on the 2nd, still says 2-3 weeks for me :(
[Nexus 5 General] scandalousk:
Kinda sucks that people who ordered on the same day as I did or even later are either getting shipping mails or even have their phones already.....
[Nexus 5 General] alistair404:
Another Cheshire user here :)

Currently waiting for my nexus 5 to be delivered - was dispatched 9am this morning so hoping it'll be delivered either tomorrow or Friday.
[Nexus 5 General] craig432:
My n5 was delivered Monday, first impressions are very good. This phone is amazing smooth fast and a joy to use.

This is my first nexus device, glad I made the jump from the galaxy note.

What device have people had before the n5?
[Nexus 5 General] undercover:
Nexus 4, HTC sensation, HTC Desire, Nokia N73 and can't remember before that. No desire to go back to oems.

I'm jumping ship from my iPhone 4S!
[Nexus 5 General] jaimbo:
So I just ordered my Nexus 5 32Gb Black from the play store with 4-5 weeks dispatch time. Google have placed a hold on the funds in my account and I was wondering:

Will this hold remain present until they take payment in 4-5 weeks?
[Nexus 5 General] balb0wa73:
Ordered the 16GB white yesterday 10.30am, got it this morning at 10am, pretty good from google and parecelforce.
[Nexus 5 General] chistery:
The hold will drop off after 5-7 days if Google haven't requested the money, then Google will charge the card once it is ready to ship.
[Nexus 5 General] Deeco7:
Those who tested Three network are ready to make the switch? What is your overall experience with Three? I have no issues whatsoever, just need to port my number and my T-mobile account is long gone!
[Nexus 5 General] scissors_cut_paper:
Ordered on release day,said dispatching by the 8th and then was delivered on the 5th. Nice work by Google. Anyone else running giffgaff? I see lots of people talking about 3,but I always had issues with their signal,and can't see anything they've got that can rival Giffgaff price. Phone is awesome though,for those still waiting. And I'd recommend learning a bit of adb if you haven't for unlocking/rooting/custom recovery. None of the toolkits seem to properly work,spent a little while having to fix a broken recovery the other day.
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
I used my Nexus 4 as a portable hotspot, thanks to having a Three SIM on the One Plan with tethering. It's nicely set up at home, with a Huawei repeater that sends the signal further around the house.

I do so because my Three data connection is 3 times faster than my ADSL connection (which is now used mostly for things like my Sky boxes that need to connect to a traditional router or Powerline adapter).

Anyway, I used to get speeds of around 10-17Mbps on the N4. Since putting the SIM in the Nexus 5, I'm getting 13-20Mbps - so I have to conclude that the antenna is better. Of course, it could just be some freak coincidence that Three did some upgrade at the very same time, but I'm doubtful (and the Nexus 4 has since been sold, so I can't swap back).

I'm somewhat excited about the prospect of 4G as you can imagine. I may ultimately cut my home broadband service down to the bare minimum, rather than wait for FTTC - as I'll hopefully get the same sort of speed (or faster) using mobile broadband.
[Nexus 5 General] dex2grigg:
I have a very very small dead pixel in the middle of the screen. Need to adjust eyes to see it.. It doesn't bother me at all but does this effect the phone long term? Thanks guyd
[Nexus 5 General] Pard0ned:
I was wondering, what are people's favourite thing about the nexus 5 from their point of view?

I have mine ordered, and has actually shipped this morning, and was just curious. This is my first nexus device, and I can't wait!
[Nexus 5 General] tintin1892:

[Nexus 5 General] Michealtbh:
Truly unlimited data with tethering, great speeds and loads of minutes and texts for £15 a month.
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
Even with HSPA+, my O2 4G SIM only gets speeds of around 0.3 (yes, seriously that slow - that's back to the original UMTS speeds pre HSPA!) to 1 or 2Mbps at home. I have 4G, but it's a weak signal and my Lumia 1020 usually falls back to 3G. And, on a bad day, I'll even find the phone sometimes showing EDGE!

And as I've said above, on Three I am getting speeds of 13-20Mbps (it does fluctuate quite a bit in any given day, but even 13Mbps is faster than my 5Mb ADSL connection). There's simply no contest.

And looking on RootMetrics, the speeds on O2 around my house and beyond don't appear much better. As a result, I'd not consider giffgaff for data.
[Nexus 5 General] Kamran9558:
I am using Giffgaff since last 3 years. The speeds are not that great and are average but you cant beat the O2 coverage. I have been to quite a few places where my phone is usually the only one with cell coverage as compared to 3 or even EE. I use The Cloud app and O2 wifi app to hook on to wifi networks as much as i could where the 3G signal is week.

I really like 3's One package but cant justify 1 because of coverage and 2 because Giffgaff 10 £ goodybag is still cheaper .
[Nexus 5 General] Boonyard:
The big difference between three and GifGaf though is that three are offering free 4G.

I pay £15 a month and get all you can eat data, 2,000 minutes, 5,000 texts, 3,000 3 to 3 minutes, and 4G when it launches in my town next year.

Not bad.
[Nexus 5 General] Dirk:
I'm happy so far with their service. Deffo go with the One plan if you can so that everything is unlimited and tethering is allowed at no extra cost.
[Nexus 5 General] thesoupthief:
Just searched but can't find any references to Ovivo in this thread.

That's the Free MNVO I use on my trips back to the UK - essentially free calls and 3G. Also uses the O2 network if I remember right. Fair enough, whenever you open Chrome you are diverted first to the Ovivo site, but you can just click through. Plus you don't get a lot of minutes free - I think it's 150 a month at the moment, plus 250 texts, free ovivo to ovivo calls and a gig of data

It's A Good Thing - there's been a lot of discussion of it over at modaco

Plus if you run out of minutes they have very reasonable PAYG rates

This post reads like an advert - honest, it's not! Check them out though - unless you use your phone a lot for voice calls (I don't) I reckon it's the best UK deal I've seen. It's hard to beat Free!

Wish there were something similar here in Ireland
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
If coverage is an issue, then it's fair enough. Three's offering is better value in my opinion, and the speeds are already amazing - even before 4G.. but if you have no signal, then it sort of makes that irrelevant!

I don't really take my Nexus 5 out and about, except when going into London when I can use it for tethering with my MacBook Air.. and in London, coverage really isn't an issue for any network.

O2 having 3G on 900MHz and very good 2G coverage does make it possibly a better option for people who make a lot of calls (or receive them) and text, but I really don't make or get many calls these days. It's all email or IM, and I can also use Wi-Fi in many places, as my main number is on Orange and that gets me free Wi-Fi on the tube, and access to BT hotspots.

Using my password, I can happily get the Nexus 5 with a Three SIM onto Wi-Fi too!
[Nexus 5 General] saayinla:
Do we have the same handset as US?

I just got a new N5 on Vodafone 4G and noticed that the signal bar said LTE on first Boot but this changed to 4G after applying the 139MB update.

Could it be the case that US/UK LTE/4G banding is done at Software level?
[Nexus 5 General] deanwray:
Actually while on the subject, does anyone know any tariff where you get free mms ? cause my app (that was made to send media using gdrive + sms to get round mms charges) is currently used most in the US and other parts of europe where they have free mms, so need to get a tariff that allows me to send 1000's for dev purposes... cause if not it's really expensive :(
[Nexus 5 General] undercover:
In UK it's called 4G. LTE was probably generic fw to start with I guess lg820 will have LTE as an icon.
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
While I've pointed out that O2's data speeds are generally poor, as a backup SIM it's probably not a huge initial investment in order to have something with some free data and the benefit of excellent O2 coverage (even if a lot of it is only 2G).

I'm actually going to look into getting one of these for a tablet.
[Nexus 5 General] Kamran9558:
I agree that the one package is better value and 4G is a huge plus but that is subjective. In my case I use 100-150 minutes / month, my wife also has Giffgafff and GG to GG calls are free. My data usage is almost always less than 800-900 megs, have wifi available at home and office and can also get wifi in major towns and cities (using the cloud and O2 wifi). The only place i really need the 3G data is when I am on the motorways or in a place where that is the only option, and in such places I can bet that O2 will almost always have better reception and you can even use Edge data which i agree is slow but still better then nothing and I pay 10 a month for 500mins, unlimited texts and 1Gigs of data.

But if you use massive amount of data and calls and require tethering for tablets etc then 3's one plan is a no brainer :)
[Nexus 5 General] lhw455:
Recommended too, especially for light users, they are great. For the free monthly plan, you do have to put up with a couple adverts when browsing, but nothing too bad. They use the Vodafone network BTW
[Nexus 5 General] craig432:
Got the one plan on a monthly rolling tariff been using it two days, was on orange/ee at work would usually only get 3g. Since using my 3sim the icon hasn't changed from h. Will be transferring to a 12 month plan at the end of this month:)
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
GPRS and EDGE isn't just slow though; it can often not work at all in my experience. As in no data flows. Possibly a problem with O2's network, and maybe not even a problem with giffgaff's APN, but falling back to 2G is really only beneficial for voice/text - for data it's painfully slow for most modern data usage needs.
[Nexus 5 General] alistair404:
My nexus 5 has just arrived. Have just got it up and running.

First impressions are very good. The screen is bright and crystal clear and the new home screen looks pretty good too. Haven't tested the camera yet. I'm also fairly unsure on hangouts replacing the SMS app but I might just need to adjust. One other thing I noticed is that my data speeds seem a fair bit higher in comparison to my nexus 4 (using three). Overall I'm very happy with the device - haven't found any manufacturing defects or anything of the sort.
[Nexus 5 General] hutchy69:
Recieved my 32GB White Nexus 5 36 hours after ordering.

My Nexus 5 arrived this morning (Nov 7th). I ordered the 32GB White model at 10.30pm on Tuesday (Nov 5th), so that's around 36 hours from order to delivery, which is incredible!

I got my shipping email today for the 32GB black that was ordered on Saturday evening. Earlier this morning it read shipping in 2-3 weeks!
[Nexus 5 General] kitecarl:
Noticed you mentioned you are on Giffgaff but you use The Cloud and O2 wifi app if you see them available.... Not to go too off-topic, but do we get this for free as Giffgaff users since Giffgaff runs on the O2 network, or do you pay separately for this? I'm a Giffgaff user too - and it would be GREAT if the O2 wifi hotspots were included and I didn't know about this before. Thanks...
[Nexus 5 General] Kamran9558:
Yes, Both these apps are free and you can use it on GG. I guess its for easing the strain on the O2 3G network.
[Nexus 5 General] kitecarl:
Totally kicking myself today for not jumping all over the Carphone Warehouse deal for £295. Guess they're all out of stock for N5's at this price - the sale itself ran a grand total of 5 days. Oh well - I'll manage just fine with my N4 a bit longer then. See you folks in a few months....

Oh who am I kidding... More likely see you in a week or so. Gotta have this phone :)
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
They've decided to sell only on contract. The stuff about selling out of SIM free stock is bull, as was claiming the price increase yesterday was a mistake after loads of people complained, quite rightly, and reminded them if what they did with the Nexus 4.

Just stick it out and get one from Play unless you really do want one on contract.
[Nexus 5 General] teekaytk:
Some stuff I am not sure how to do. Can some one help? First, seems like there is no way to close all apps from the app switcher any more. Am I right? Also how do I select another audio file as ringtone?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] chistery:
Been with Three about a month now, moving over from T-Mobile after my discount ended with them. They activated roaming after I ported my number over, or I'd have to wait 60 days. Popped over to Copenhagen for a weekend and it was great to be able to just use my phone as normal there, especially having data with no extra cost. If you go to any of the 7 Feel at home countries then it's a great bonus.

Building penetration isn't great, I don't get much of a signal when at work, but that's not too much of an issue. Waiting to see how good 4G is when they activate it next month, and will probably move onto the One plan if the signal is ok.

Just been for a run, runtastic pro, the gps went a bit funny a few times, its nowhere near as good as the gps on the N4 or S3

Download Gps test app and post a screenshot. On mine Gps slightly worse than s3 but a lot better than N4
[Nexus 5 General] balb0wa73:
Thats after a minute, its not great, thing is when your out running, it needs to lock on and track, the n4 was a lot better

I suppose its early days, there may be a lot of fixes in the next update

Just wondering why are so big differences is antutu scores betwen the G2 and the N5? As far as I know they have same hardware?!

Or is it because the Android version?
[Nexus 5 General] deanwray:
That as far as I can recall has never been a part of android, as the system handles what should pause,stop,destroy etc.. most of these clean or close all dont do very much and are a bit pointless... same with cache cleaners too ;)

You install something that can pick files, ringtones point/use a uri, this means that many things can serve that uri (uri is segment based paths, like file:/// content:// etc) ... so if you want to pick something, install a file manager and it should ask what do you want to browse with... well thats what I do with per/person sounds in my app
[Nexus 5 General] undercover:
Is that outdoors? If so, get a replacement.

This is the map from the tracking on runtastic, normally its a maybe 10ft out , there is zig zags on it, massive corner cutting, i was following the road! like i say, its fine on the N4 and S3

For all i know the gps antenna might be in a different place to the other phones ive used for running.

Get a replacement mate. No update will fix that for you.

Before you do it, try a factory reset. Who knows..
[Nexus 5 General] 666fff:
It's quite obvious you are preparing to cheat in the next marathon. Lol no but seriously: have you made sure your gps is actually enabled? It looks like the accuracy you'd get if it was doing the wifi and network location detecting. Check it out under 'location' in the drag down settings.

Bought Nexus 5 on the 7/11

I just bought a black 16GB nexus 5 and it says "Dispatched from warehouse on 11/12/2013". I am asking if anyone has the same dispatching date can kindly reply to this post when they have received the shipping confirmation. Thanks a lot

---------- Post added at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 AM ----------

Currently, Google Plays says it will be dispatched in 4-5 weeks time. Some of them who had 2-3 weeks dispatching time frame got their Nexus 5 few days later after they bought it. I guess it varies

---------- Post added at 12:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

Hey did u have the 2-3 weeks dispatching time or 4-5 weeks one? Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] balb0wa73:
haha, yes its enabled, using high accuracy, i will try it just on gps next time, it might be trying to be too clever using gps,wi fi and mobile networks.

Please do! Gives me hope that mine won't take 4-5 weeks.

Pretty much in the same boat as you mate, called yesterday and the representative told me that the money will indeed be on hold until shipped.

Has anyone tried the switching From Dalvik to Art in developer options? I made the switch I can really see the difference. Thoughts?
[Nexus 5 General] nareik91:
Fab, I've just got back from holiday and my N5 has some screen flickering - vertical lines which are noticeable on blues and other bright colours - especially the default wallpaper. Anyone else get the same? I've called Google Play and they have started the return process - they emailed asking for my IMEI, but I have a feeling I will need to wait until Monday before I actually get the replacement ordered.

Guess I'll have to continue using the N4 for now :(

There is a fault somewhere. Factory reset, then if it doesn't help call Google.
[Nexus 5 General] MarkProvanP:
Oh dear. I've only had mine since Monday and I've already dropped it on the ground and smashed the glass. However, it seems the LCD and digitiser are still working fine so all is not lost. The glass seems incredibly thin so I'm not particularly surprised that it smashed but it was only from lower than waist height onto tarmac. It's also rather annoying knowing that if I were to replace it I would effectively be getting a new screen and putting the rest of the phone back into it.

I'll see how long I can keep going with it as-is since I don't think there's a point getting a new screen until I have a case/screen protector which would actually protect it at all.
