The Nexus 4 is far from crap. It's still a very good by for many people.
[Nexus 5 General] undercover:
Indeed. Some people are just talking BS.
[Nexus 5 General] alpha beta gaga:
that can be adjusted
[Nexus 5 General] DanP47:
Waited nearly all day for it but had to leave the house at half 3, it arrived at 4 and now I have to collect from Post Office tomorrow. Gutted :( Still, it was a quick despatch/delivery, even if £10 is a bit much.
[Nexus 5 General] TCMuffin:
Same here :(
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
I had to go to the post office today, and at least you can now go and collect it at your leisure - so it's not all bad (certainly better than arranging a re-delivery).
[Nexus 5 General] nickj2010:
Well the vibration is set to 63% by default, I set it to 100% in trickstermod and now it's almost too strong haha.
[Nexus 5 General] Makaijin:
But don't trickster mod require root? I don't plan on rooting, and someone else commented having similar problems as myself while comparing to his friend's N5 and he said his mate's N5 was working perfectly.
[Nexus 5 General] @home:
Give this thread a boost for those still waiting.

I hope you get yours today :good:
[Nexus 5 General] Kamran9558:
all you guys talking about your devices is killing me :( waited the whole effin day yesterday but it never got delivered. Status is again updated to loaded to vehicle for delivery. I hope they deliver it today or else i would go mad :)
[Nexus 5 General] saldawop:
Anybody know Googles return Policy? I know you have 15 days, but is it like the iPhone where you can use the phone normally for a few days before returning?

I am going to pick mine up from ParcelForce today but reading of a few niggles,such as low volume,poor camera etc. is putting me off, but I would ideally like to test it for myself.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Yeah you can use it: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2411741?hl=en-GB
[Nexus 5 General] AndyM:
Ordered at 18:01 on Thursday evening.

Dispatched and had tracking number on Friday. Package has been sat at Milton Keynes since then with no delivery yesterday and no status update today either. Payment has been taken and is showing on my statement.

Not really impressed having paid a tenner for delivery. Waited in all day yesterday as I had a day off anyway.

It's been as below since Friday. Called PF yesterday and they said they will call back. Surprise, surprise they didn't.

What's going on at Carphone Warehouse?

Just collating links of all places selling the phone for an article I'm writing, and it's now showing as being £429!

View attachment 2372397

Was the £295 just an introductory discount, or are they messing around with prices while it's out of stock?
[Nexus 5 General] Kamran9558:
they are probably price matching with Ebay :)
[Nexus 5 General] BigBadBazza:
Just delivered!

Hi all,

Just received my Nexus 5 :D

I ordered the 32GB black on 31/10/13 at about 6.45pm, got confirmation email immediately and the shipping email Saturday 4.30pm.

My tracking number was showing loaded on van for delivery since yesterday morning, about 7.00am. This was updated another 5 times throughout the day and night yesterday! Every time just 'loaded on van for delivery'.

Thought I'd sign up and let everyone know that deliveries seem to be going out today. Good luck! :good:
[Nexus 5 General] inffy:
Can you take a picture of the box where the phone box was packaged by google (if you ordered from a play store?). Would like to know the size of the packaging box
[Nexus 5 General] robdevil:
LOL CPW raised price because it is out of stock. Epic Fail LG and Google!!!
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
Sorry I've already torn up the box and put it in the recycling bin, so can't measure it - but here a photo anyway in case it helps a little bit. It's a fair bit bigger than the phone box, with brown paper to pad it out.
[Nexus 5 General] BigBadBazza:
Here's a few quick pics, let me know if that wasn't what you had in mind. I placed a DVD case next to the box to give you some idea of size. Hope this helps.
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
Not the fault of LG or Google. It's Carphone Warehouse out to profit from what it has obviously realised is huge demand. Nobody tells CPW what price to sell something for (indeed, to do so would be illegal).

In fact, if Google doesn't raise its own price then it will show that it isn't out to make excessive profit from the desire of its customers.

But who wanted the 16GB model anyway?
[Nexus 5 General] undercover:
My problem with N5... Too big for one handed operation. Just....
[Nexus 5 General] relax24:
Any reviews on black vs white n5? Or a thread dedicated to it?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] BigBadBazza:
Yeah, I was worried about this. I'm coming from a 4.3" phone (HTC one s) and that feels perfect for one handed operation.

I've got quite big hands so the Nexus 5 feels OK-ish, just requires a bit of repositioning to reach the top of the screen. Still, lovely form factor :)
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
Just wondering if anyone else with the phone is quite a high android os use in the battery graph?
[Nexus 5 General] m4xi:
i think it's more ridiculous that they have cancelled my order 3 days later after i've purchased it without a reason and now increased the price. tried to call them. waited 3 times for 20 mins in line. what a support.....
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
Since I got it, it's been spending most of its time downloading and reinstalling apps via the Play store. Even ones I cancelled started to re-download when I rebooted, so I had to delete them from my 'All' tab. As such, mine was showing pretty heavy usage too.

I read about lagging on some early 'reviews' but can't say I've found any occasion where it has lagged or stuttered. It's as buttery smooth as my Z1, and I'm beginning to take to the new launcher, the bigger app icons and the narrower font.

---------- Post added at 12:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

That's bang out of order. They should at least hold to the price they offered when you placed your order.

I've already been Tweeting about this since this morning and hope some of the tech sites will pick up on it soon. Perhaps CPW might then reconsider it's decision to put profits above customer service.
[Nexus 5 General] nigelw:
CPW used to sell the Nexus 4 for 399 so it's no surprise.
[Nexus 5 General] Kamran9558:
And I thought the people selling the nexus 5 on ebay with a huge markup were bad
[Nexus 5 General] undercover:
I'd say N4 is much more comfortable in hand. N5 has a few sharpish edges. What annoys me is that population is predominantly right handed but all the menu slide outs are top left corner. I guess humans will evolve soon and will have long badass thumbs.
[Nexus 5 General] summer_love:
Coming from the original galaxy note the n5 seems tiny. I keep having to compare it to other people's phones to remind myself it isn't. I love it, it feels like a normal phone haha. Every time I see my note it looks huge now! Just need to get used to the smaller screen.
[Nexus 5 General] inffy:
Thank you!
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
Fair point, but when it launched it said £295 and I don't recall it saying it was a time limited offer... and if they're cancelling orders outstanding so you must re-order at the highest price, that's just out of order.

They're free to do what they like, sure, but it's not very good way to manage your reputation. A lot of people shouted about the £295 price and how it was cheaper than Google (even suggesting Google was being greedy!) but how many expected this to happen?

Of course, I'll keep saying, get the 32GB model anyway - and buy it from Play. Even if Google is now out of stock, I have faith that when new stock arrives, people will get the device quickly and without hassle. And if you have a problem with it, Google's changeover service seems like a better deal than having to explain and 'prove' your fault with Carphone Warehouse.
[Nexus 5 General] nigelw:
Totally agree, they should honour all orders taken at 295.
[Nexus 5 General] phobox360:
Personally Ive been quite impressed with the whole experience. This is my first Nexus device and my first hardware purchase from Google. I ordered the 16gb White on Thursday morning and got my shipped confirmation email at 8pm that night. The phone arrived on Monday afternoon.

First impressions are really good. Been playing with it and setting everything up today because I didnt get time yesterday. Rooted already and installed all my apps from my Titanium backups. Coming from a Samsung Galaxy S3 its a massive step up, pretty much everything is vastly superior than the GS3. I was massively disappointed with my GS3, it was laggy and exhibited all kinds of issues from the day I got it. The N5 so far has been flawless. Extremely fast and fluid, good sound quality in earpiece, headphones and speaker, really nice screen (not as saturated as Im used to on the AMOLED screens but not a problem). Im looking forward to more apps being updated for KitKat, especially launchers like Nova etc that will take advantage of the translucent status and navigation bars. And very much looking forward to seeing what all the ROM and kernel devs come up with. No reports on battery life yet because Ive had it hooked up to my computer all day while I was setting everything up.

Google+ Widget

Anyone else having an issue adding the Google+ widget to the home screen? Mine just won't have it?

Of all the widgets... you'd kinda expect this one to work :o

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] BigBadBazza:
That day can't come soon enough! lol
[Nexus 5 General] Trojanen:
I just made a order. 32GB white :victory:. It says "Dispatches by 8 November" . So will i get it on monday? How long did it take for you guys?
[Nexus 5 General] mccabeross:
thank god for that - what other forum(s) are you going to be frequenting? would like to give them a wide berth... :p

for anyone that's interested...

arrived half an hour ago...

SW15 from South London(Mitcham) depo...

ordered thrusday 9:26pm...

had been out for delivery yesterday as well as today.....
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
I was told 8th November when I ordered on the 31st. It came yesterday.

So fingers crossed, assuming it's in stock, you might get it tomorrow or more likely Thursday.
[Nexus 5 General] tango280581:
Ordered mine yesterday and it says 2-3 weeks. So you've done well mate.

Issues so far...

Could someone help me out here.. I ve always been an HTC fan had the Htc One until couple of weeks ago in anticipation of the Nexus 5, I had the nexus 4 briefly but got rid of it for something else.

But since having the n5 for 1 day, these are the issues i have picked up which is bugging me so far..

1. Gap at bottom of screen dirt is already filling in the space, this is very annoying.

2. Unable to edit number before calling, no matter how long I long press a number, I do not have this option I use to able to do this on htc but cant now.

3. I hate having to long press the fullstop key next to the spacebar on the keyboard to get access to the?sign. Flimsy but annoying for me.
[Nexus 5 General] Kid_droid:
Ideally car phone warehouse thought they would find your regular costumer that might even think buying out a £300 phone can be steep. And throw them on 24 months contract. And paying a ridiculous amount at the end.

When they saw that everyone wasn't falling for the contract stuff and bought the phone simple they decided to go back to their normal ways which was expected since no profit was being made by them and stock was gone.

1. Haven't noticed this but only arrived yesterday, so will watch for that.

2. Try editing through the people(contacts) app instead of the dialer.

3. I'd recommend using swiftkey. Has followed me around my last few phones.
[Nexus 5 General] poldie:
They're blatantly lying with their "UK'S Lowest Price" nonsense - cheaper on Amazon or from Google themselves. One for the Office of Fair Trading.
[Nexus 5 General] r0cafella:
Lucky I got mine on Friday!

I feel bad for those having to put up with this though but I'd still happily pay that price for it personally.
[Nexus 5 General] big_b0sss:
having the white version of the phone makes me worry Sometimes about the white back. anyone found any back protector like the screen protector i personally don't prefer case.
[Nexus 5 General] nikzDHD:
Number 3, hold the numbers button on the bottom left then swype to whatever symbol you want this is a shortcut feature.
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
Cool thanks :)

Did the secure link he sent you still show the full amount when checking out to order the replacement? i.e £339 + £9.99 shipping
[Nexus 5 General] mb1984:
Yeah, it was exactly the same as my original order. I had a dispatch notification email at about 1030 this morning so the replacement is on it's way :good:

Hey guys my friend just got his N5 from CPW and i dont think his sim is activated hes with o2 is there a way to activate the sim after setup

Ordered on Saturday 2nd and was told it would be dispatched within 2-3 weeks. Got shipping email today, the 5th. That's very impressive.
[Nexus 5 General] JackClarke:
I was going to order a black 32GB from Google Play when I get paid this evening. They appear to have gone out of stock. Just hoping LG will do better getting more stock to Google than they did with the Nexus 4.
[Nexus 5 General] solidturk:
Ordered on thursday just after 6:30pm and arrived about an hour ago - London Central Depot. I've already unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, unlocked the bootloader and installed Franco Kernel.
[Nexus 5 General] deanwray:
sim activation is nothing to do with the phone! if a sim is not "active" is simply will not connect to the network!
[Nexus 5 General] ChrissehB:
Ordered mine Saturday, estimated shipping date 8th, then 1-3 days delivery, came yesterday! Had it posted to my home address though and I'm at uni. Mother's posted it to me so I'll get it tomorrow. So excited! I'm making the switch from iPhone 5 to android. Wanted to do it for a while but needed the right phone. I'm tired of not being able to customise and play around with roms. A few years ago I had a HTC Touch Pro 2 which ran Windows Mobile 6.5, loved flashing new roms. Tired of waiting around for iPhone jailbreaks and then still there isn't a tweak for everything. Goodbye Apple, hello Android! :D

[Nexus 5 General] nareik91:
Interesting route my N5 has taken. I'm away on holiday at the moment but my N5 was despatched (didn't get a shipping confirmation but the status changed to delivered and the tracking number appeared on Google Wallet).

Phone was out for delivery yesterday and delivered to my neighbour as no-one was home. Parcelforce then came back and said they couldn't leave it with him as it was a phone and took it back! I now have to go and collect it from the post office when I get back on Friday if it's not too late!

Looking forward to receiving it now, glad others have had theirs delivered!
[Nexus 5 General] Rajaasim1980:
It surprsie me how eagerly people wait for their new phones
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
It did say on my box "DELIVERY ADDRESS OR POST OFFICE BRANCH ONLY" (as you'll see tomorrow) so the driver did make a mistake initially.

I guess it's an anti-fraud measure, as it's a high risk item. As I said on Sunday, it will also be why some information isn't given on the tracking data, as ParcelForce won't let on exactly where the phone(s) are at any time, to reduce the chance of hijackings.

Hijacking lorries is actually quite a big problem in the UK.
[Nexus 5 General] thefiqs:
Collected mine from the post in the morning but went slepp after cuz of the nightshift. My first impressions. The screen is really beautyful. Very good plastic build, the back is nice and silky touch. The camera is far better after few shoots than I expected. My only plea is the volume rocker button looks a little wobble. :o
[Nexus 5 General] Jonnyw2k:
So far I'm liking it :)

Only thing that I can't figure out is in the hangouts app if I want to send a text can I only show contacts with numbers?
[Nexus 5 General] boringest:
parcel force said they can't find my address...guess they are not using google maps....it's been sitting in their warehouse for last 2 days!
[Nexus 5 General] Evil_munki:
Mine has just been dispatched by CPW, should arrive tomorrow. Surprised as I ordered a little late, and the messages on their website and Google Play was a dispatch estimate of late next week.

Quick question anyone else having the transparent notification bar suddenly go dull black and only way to fix it is to pull the bar down and swipe it back up again? kinda annoying

[Nexus 5 General] jim-bob001:

Just wondering, is there any notification led?
[Nexus 5 General] stuart0001:
Are you sure? I can't find it advertised SIM free anymore
[Nexus 5 General] pepdavies:
It was on their website a minute ago. Mine's coming tomorrow but they haven't taken the money yet. If they charge me £429 i'll be mildly annoyed lol
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
They don't advertise it on the main page link where you click on from the home screen.

If you find it via "sim free phones" then it shows up

This is my first nexus phone and I have to say its amazing. So so fast .

I have rooted it not yet put recovery on it but everything is so nice the camera is great .

Been a Samsung addict and finally changed very glad I did.

So I know a bit of topic but when the people waiting do receive there phones I am sure u like will feel it was worth the wait.

[Nexus 5 General] xluco:
Picked mine up from CPW yesterday :D strangely they weren't selling it sim free though so I've ended up on a new contract, worth it :good:
[Nexus 5 General] tintin1892:
What network u with
[Nexus 5 General] Surfy89:
Then they have lied to you, many people (including me) just walked in and bought one. No contracts, no sim card nothing. Just the phone.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Indeed they did, I to walked in and grabbed one with no further commitment.
[Nexus 5 General] JackClarke:
I get this:

How long do you think it'll be before it's back in stock? The longer it takes the less likely I am to bother haha.
[Nexus 5 General] FunkyMagic-UK:
Cheers.

Arrived about 5 mins later, downloaded the update, then got on train to London for a couple of hours (battery sucked on journey... But seems more acceptable now).

Loving initial impact of my return to Android. Last one I had was a HTC Desire that I abandoned for Windows phone 18 months ago.

Only real issue I have at moment is video recording seems a bit flaky, and attempting to zoom during recording with a finger pinch just freezes every thing for a few seconds. Is this common, Ive not seen it mentioned elsewhere??
[Nexus 5 General] DanP47:
Which screen protector did you all get? We don't have much choice here in the UK
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
I got one sent with a cheap S Line case but it doesn't fit (it is too long and wide) which makes me wonder what did they base this on lol

There is one with my Spigen case but I haven't fitted it yet as I'm waiting for my RMA unit to turn up for inspection before deciding which one I send back.

You have a few options here:

[Nexus 5 General] DanP47:
Thanks for these.

Is there really much of a difference between those last 2 cheap ones the the more expensive (plastic) ones?
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
You're welcome.

Hard to say really, both I've not heard of, however they are cheap enough to be worth a go and if they suck then it isn't a big loss or if you mess up the installation process you have a few spare.

I'm not sure if you heard of them but MediaDevils is popular over on AV Forums and their Nexus 5 protectors are coming soon (Nov 18th)

http://mediadevil.com/index.php/bro...icscreen-clear-edition-google-lg-nexus-5.html

Having used them on a iPhone 3GS and a iPod touch they are probably the easiest protectors I've ever applied in my time and off great quality for price, best of all their customer service is outstanding too and Callum the owner is a really nice guy.

The Spigen protectors both the glass and plastic ones are generally highly regarded by smart phone enthusiasts and over the iPhone scene they are very popular.

The Orzly Glass one seems very new to the market and no one seems to have tried it out to make a conclusive opinion of it yet.

iLoome have a flexi glass one but it isn't out yet assuming they will make one for the Nexus 5

Green Onion Supplies is another brand which over in the US is highly regarded for its oleo phobic qualities but nothing said yet about Nexus 5 protectors.

Sorry for long reply but I hope it helps :)
