one thing with kit kat and google now, you only have two screens, not very good for adding widgets and things , ok you can try other launchers like nova.

why cant they add an option for adding more pages/screens.
[Nexus 5 General] teekaytk:
You can add more screen by dragging icons right in the rightmost screen
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
You can have more than 2 screens but it doesn't show the empty screens like old versions, it only adds it as and when you need to.

Have a go and you should see the extra pages come up when adding a new icon or widget to a new page beyond Page 2
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Think there was some issues on the mobile data in selected areas, should be fine now :silly:

Speed increase!

Was able to make the phone 2x faster, rooting, adding TWRP recovery, changing animations to 0.5x for all 3, then using greenify, also changing dalvik to ART, then removing bloatware and turning off google now, the phone gets 3-4 hours on screentime with blazingly fast performance, best devision ever!
[Nexus 5 General] mintvilla:
Yes me n my gf r both on T-Mobile and I've had a few network drops except it will still say I have 3 bars but in the quick settings it says no service? You have to restart it to get a signal again.
[Nexus 5 General] big_b0sss:
well went outside ran the gps test got this would anyone be able to tell me if mine is ok
[Nexus 5 General] J.S.C:
Don't know what other people have managed to get but this respectable to me :)

I don't suppose that you have tried another running app just to see if the same problems occur?
[Nexus 5 General] balb0wa73:
not yet, ive done a factory reset as someone mentioned, il try it later tonight, i think its trying to be too clever, using peoples wi fi as well as gps to determine location, as on a long road i went along twice it was fine, seems to be when you get near a lot of houses with wi fi.
[Nexus 5 General] Michealtbh:
Try switching location mode to device only and it will just use GPS
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Since GPS info is popular, this is what I get inside:

Pretty good!
[Nexus 5 General] balb0wa73:
Like i say, whats the point of doing it inside, its when your on the move, using maps or running apps you need to do.
[Nexus 5 General] summer_love:
I think it's being pointed out because it's normally difficult to get a lock at all inside, and the n5 is doing a pretty good job of it. Not everyone is interested in running apps, so the GPS is gonna be interesting in different ways to different people.

I've tried a couple more cases now. This is my favourite. Was only 7 quid & looks and feels lovely. It covers the corners and 2 sides really well & extends a little at the back of the top & bottom to protect them. Only tried it because amazon had stock but I'm really pleased with it. Someone who saw my phone didn't even realise it was a case, they thought it was the back of the phone.

Also got the Armourdillo Hybrid Protective Case. It's a much more rugged case & would suit people looking for something more durable. It made the power button a wee bit difficult to press, and is quite bulky, so not great for everyone.
[Nexus 5 General] Evil_munki:
Can anybody recommend a decent/good wireless charger, within Amazon or eBay UK?
[Nexus 5 General] stuart0001:
Got this one delivered today. It connects easily and seems quite fast. I'm timing the charges to test efficiency and will report back later.

Check this out on Amazon:

RAVPower Qi Wireless Charger Charge Pad (White, Free Wall Charger Included, Single-Position, 5V/1.5A Input)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00DMZPQIG/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_gb?ie=UTF8
[Nexus 5 General] Michealtbh:
I have that case too. It definitely looks and feels nice but the bottom edge is a bit sharp and it leaves a little bit at the top and bottom exposed. I've ordered the Spigen Slim Armor as it seems to offer much better protection while still looking good but it's a bit more expensive.
[Nexus 5 General] AvRS:
Well I couldn't resist and ordered myself a white 32GB last night. Going to give the old N4 to my mum and get her on the Google bandwagon as she still has my old Samsung Tocco from yonder year lol.

Can't wait to get it and it might even bring me back to xda as not been around for a while. Now just need to buy a case as have a tendency of dropping my phones.
[Nexus 5 General] timnyce:
looking for a trade

One out there in the UK that have a moto x and want to trade it for a brand new nexus 5 please holler at me, I have a brand new white nexus 5 3gb but want to trade it for the moto x I live in the UK. Got it the phone but really not feeling it at all

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00AKBQGIO
[Nexus 5 General] summer_love:
Mine isn't sharp there, but was near the power button briefly. Fine now. I'm used to the casemate barely there cases so this one actually covers more of the phone than I'm used to. I'll probably keep buying cases as amazon gets them in stock though. I can't help myself.
[Nexus 5 General] big_b0sss:
got this delivered today and looks cool only 15 quid. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=140980118507

What are your thoughts on the wireless charger? Any issues with it? At that price it's tempting.
[Nexus 5 General] stuart0001:
If anyone's been using a QI charger then please enter your details in the my survey below. Hopefully it'll give a good idea of the best and most efficient.

I've added the details from the device above already

[Nexus 5 General] nigelw:
I'm using the QI charger that came with my Nokia 920. Works fine through my Spigen case.
[Nexus 5 General] big_b0sss:
no problem so far works great. however the charger itself made of hard plastic and my white nexus 5's back also hard plastic so doesn't grip that well. but it gets the job done. i highly recommend this because of the price
[Nexus 5 General] MrPhilo:
So is it true that the dates on Google play is incorrect (waiting date?) So they can sell more white version of the Nexus 5? I'm sure I read a post somewhere here. I just ordered one for my brother and they took payment out yesterday. I ordered 2 days ago on Friday.
[Nexus 5 General] prawnguevara:
What's the point in wireless chargers?
[Nexus 5 General] stuart0001:
Easier than fumbling for the cable, less wear on the USB socket and generally just more convenient to put it on charge more often.

---------- Post added at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

Just to confirm my results.

An hour with the official charger gave me 50% and with this Qi charger I got 39% which works out at 78% efficiency, which is normal and pretty good for a Qi charger.
[Nexus 5 General] sohell:
Pretty sure some people asked what the point of wireless phones were too.
[Nexus 5 General] prawnguevara:
I'm not doubting they're the future, but at the moment, it's a luxury.
[Nexus 5 General] Xelphos:
They are correct. I called Google and they said it could even be longer depending on the amount of orders. I canceled mine. Just going to get a Note 3.
[Nexus 5 General] AvRS:
I ordered a white 32GB and it said dispatched from warehouse in 1-2 business days so I clicked buy on Friday. I went into the Play Store and checked my order status and says dispatched from warehouse on 13th which is 3 business days so if it's true may try be cheeky and get my shipping cost back haha. They haven't taken the money yet they've only put a shadow/reservation on the money so that they can check you have it. They'll actually take the money when it's shipped.
[Nexus 5 General] WormholeZA:
Ordered a 16GB Black on the 5th of November says shipped by 22/11/2013, fingers crossed its slightly earlier.
[Nexus 5 General] skippa:
Just picked mine up from o2 today.

Love it

So are smartphones.
[Nexus 5 General] prawnguevara:
Anyone having occasional network problems?
[Nexus 5 General] sohell:
Who are you with? And where are you? Might help others to help you
[Nexus 5 General] AvRS:
It just got real for me, received my shipping email :D currently at London Parcelforce depot so hopefully will wing it's way over to Milton Keynes tonight and be on the van tomorrow.....I like to think positive ;)
[Nexus 5 General] CraigGB:
Could I ask when and what you ordered? :)

hoping to hear black 32 gigs start getting sent soon :(
[Nexus 5 General] AvRS:
I ordered a white 32GB on Friday evening while it said dispatched from warehouse in 1-2 days but my order history said dispatched from warehouse on 13th so seems their original estimate was the correct one as this was 1 business day. Sorry to not bring good news on your black one but hope it ships soon :fingers-crossed:

I didn't actually care what colour I got as I'll probably get a gel case which will cover it up or be semi transparent and quite like the white speaker grill for contrast. I've ordered a see-through Spigen hybrid case but don't think I'll like it after using gel cases for so long and preferring the feel but will see as should have that too in the next few days.
[Nexus 5 General] phillipm:
Yes i'm with Orange and have had a few network problems.

I'm with talk mobile. It just won't send a message or make a call unless I do a aeroplane mode cycle. Yet a call will come though I think.

Same here, Ordered a White 32Gb on Sunday night, shipped today - even though it said 13th. Currently sitting in the same Parcelforce depot in London I suspect. Here's hoping for tomorrow...
[Nexus 5 General] Pard0ned:
Hey man! Good to see you here! Moved on from the s3 then. The nexus is a brill device!
[Nexus 5 General] AvRS:
It looks very promising for a delivery today as checked and it's on the van for delivery :highfive::D

Parcelforce generally come to work at 10ish daily so will see if they're on time today but I have a direct view of the window to the front of the building to keep an eye out haha.
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
Can someone try something out for me... Go to YouTube and hit the share button, do you get a list of all your apps? For some reason mines only showing hangout contacts
[Nexus 5 General] Evil_munki:
Tried it just now, no problems for me. Lists all my apps, and not contacts.
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
Thanks for trying it, what the f had happened to mine then lol
[Nexus 5 General] exxpired:
Try clearing the app data
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
I tried it all, I fixed it just now by factory reset, really odd issue
[Nexus 5 General] AvRS:
Well I got the phone today as expected and really impressed so far :victory:

Screen is amazing, loving the white, size isn't as large as was expecting which is good so still feels usable in my medium sized hands.

Seems a little silly that the first step of the set up is to connect to a WiFi hotspot as all my details are backed up and didn't actually know the login details as works network is closed and one of the IT guys did it as a favour once to me and also that you're forced to download the mandatory update so had to do it over my data and then sign into my Google account where everything installs. Oh well thankfully I have unlimited data so that didn't matter much but so happy to have the phone and be using it.

Love that all the icons are larger as well, it's a nice finishing touch. Just need to wait for BT Sport to update their app to be compatible and root it later and I'll be able to set up lightflow properly along with having file manager control.

For those waiting, it's such a great phone it's actually worth it and for those who have it I'm sure you're already enjoying it :good:
[Nexus 5 General] sohell:
Time to change your signature, then...:angel:

So, I am back from work, having used ART all day. I can't see any real difference, battery seems slightly better than I would expect it, and all the apps I would normally use ran pretty much the same as they did when running dalvik. WhatsApp didn't work all day (so I *may* have had extra battery because of that), so at the moment, ART is not something I would recommend. However, as time goes on, and more apps become compatible, I am sure that it will switch over via a software update, and things will be smoother.. but not yet...
[Nexus 5 General] lordromanov01:
Just thought some of you may be interested in this...

My first N5 has a dead pixel so I ordered a replacement. It came today so I currently have both.

The new one has a different screen. Slightly cooler colours. I'd say it's possibly better.

Also the power button has its edges smoothed off. My old one had quite sharp edges.

However, the new one has a different sounding vibration motor. It's annoying enough that I prefer my old one, even with the dead pixel. The pixels are so small that they aren't even noticeable unless you look out for it on a white screen.

Can you please go in to fastboot (hold Vol Down + Power) and copy out what is written? Leave out your serial number, though :silly:

Interested to see if anything has changed :highfive:
[Nexus 5 General] balb0wa73:
Well, just been another run, turned the high accuracy off and just used the gps, its perfect now.

It locked on within 5 seconds, the high accuracy might be good for a quick fix but not good for constant tracking.

high accuracy

device only
[Nexus 5 General] Cactus42:
Mine arrived around lunchtime, had to wait till I got home around 8 till I could have a play - think that was worse than knowing it was still out for delivery :).

Glad I picked the white, it looks much better than the black one IMO.
[Nexus 5 General] JonM1988:
Are CPW still selling the handset unlocked?

If so what price?
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
not off contract now they are not.
[Nexus 5 General] TT Vario 2:
Hi,

My QI charged arrived from Amazon yesterday, placed it on my bedside table, stuck the phone on and its working fine, that was until this morning, my digital radio alarm (set to come on as a radio) failed to come on, when I had got dressed, picked up my phone off the charger and walked away, the radio suddenly came on, just a heads up really, the charger completely knocks out the digital radio signal, sort of defeats the idea of charging overnight while you sleep !!

TT
[Nexus 5 General] AvRS:
Done thanks for the reminder :highfive:

Yeah same it was around lunchtime I got mine too. Thankfully I could just rip into it and start playing. I'm also very glad I went for the white, it really does look awesome and there's nothing wrong with the feel of it in the hand. I'm definitely not missing what I don't have with the black soft touch back as I've never had it to want it so don't understand people that have that complaint.

I've already unlocked and rooted mine and then when checking out a video last night noticed a bright pixel on the black parts of the screen during playback. It wasn't noticeable during normal use and think it may have just been a stuck pixel as not seen it this morning when switching on and off like I did last night. Hopefully it was just a stuck pixel and being off all night has sorted it out.

Love the phone, just need to get my old ringtones back as the stock ones are pants but not a bad complaint to have haha :laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
Yes, albeit a bit outside London (Hertfordshire). Seems fine today (see below), but yesterday I was getting pings of 700+ ms and speeds were down to 2-3Mbps at times. And to think, some people on other networks probably think such speeds on 3G are pretty good. :o

I have occasionally tweeted Three when speeds have dropped, but they're usually quite slow to get back and by then, it's usually fixed anyway. It's a shame networks don't have a way to check issues by entering a postcode on their website.
[Nexus 5 General] undercover:
Ping is better today but speeds are still "slow". My guess is they are working on 4g.
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
I hope so!

They're still being quite cagey about their 4G launch (I was at their 'Christmas party' last night funnily enough) and opting not to answer questions about the speeds they might offer (as in things like EE's double speed, or support for faster classes) or the actual coverage they're going to announce.

I know they've stated the places they intend to cover, but EE, Vodafone and O2 all saw the 'London' coverage extend quiet a bit beyond the M25. VF and O2 got as far as Bishop's Stortford, which I certainly wouldn't class as London!

Let's hope there will be some nice surprises when they do finally announce a date and the exact details. I'm ready and waiting!
[Nexus 5 General] robdevil:
They are out of stock. £425 and all nexus devices are unlocked.
[Nexus 5 General] undercover:
Any idea when? Anyway, I have a feeling service will be flaky to start with.

P. S. I know they said December, but wonder if you heard anything else.
[Nexus 5 General] AvRS:
I recently moved to 3 for their no extra cost for 4G but they first need to be able to offer any coverage in houses as I get no signal apart from when my phone is in very specific places where I get 0 bars but signal. When speaking to their Indian call centre the guy kept fighting my want to leave (only been with them 9 days) and offered me a home signal box free to try even though I'm on a 1 month rolling contract and explained I don't get good/acceptable signal in the majority of Milton Keynes. Well DPD attempted delivery of the box but I'm not in during the day and there's no local depot so it's heading back to them and will again attempt to cancel. Hopefully GiffGaff offer a competitive 4G pricing model next year.
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
That's the thing. They aren't saying anything about their 4G launch plans, other than what they already have - which is very vague.

We know they'll have something up and running before Christmas, in a few places they've already confirmed (such as London and Birmingham), and that all users will just get 4G without any extra charges or new contracts. We know that some users will need to get a SIM update to enable the 4G/LTE menu on their phone.

But Three seems to be wanting to hold back everything else, even though they've only got a month and I doubt they'll turn it on too close to Christmas. Nobody would want to switch on a network and risk any problems during the holiday period, and surely Three would benefit from pre-Christmas sales if it switched on as early in December as possible.

My hope is that they're going to surprise us by announcing a bigger network already activated for 4G than they've currently stated. They knew they had the 1800MHz spectrum for ages, so they could (and should) have been upgrading their network for most of the year.

There is the flip side, which I'd rather hope isn't true, and that's they're behind schedule and the 4G switch on is not going to be all that impressive for some time.
[Nexus 5 General] undercover:
You mirror my thoughts. The flipside you mentioned... Well, companies do like to blow their trumpets (marketing) when they have dates confirmed, so far this hasn't happened, which in my eyes is not very promising.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
Contract only now, but the last price they sold them for was £429
[Nexus 5 General] jaimbo:
Well the hold just dropped of my account with the order status still saying "Dispatched from warehouse on 11/12/2013" and no sign of it being shipped early, here's hoping I get a very early Christmas present!
[Nexus 5 General] Weirdy346:
When I popped into my local 3 shop the assistant said that 4g is starting next month but no specific day mentioned.
[Nexus 5 General] Leong428:
Same here, my charges were dropped yesterday. I'm leaving on the 16th for a holiday in the Alps and it'd be sick if the N5 arrives before then. Will get to put that camera to the test!
[Nexus 5 General] jaimbo:
When did you make the purchase? It has been 6 days since I clicked buy?
[Nexus 5 General] gyoung:
Same here! The hold was dropped off. I think Google is waiting for the next shipping batch of black N5 to come. Can be weeks from nw
[Nexus 5 General] Schumi 01:
Afternoon all, just a quick question, maybe i shouldn't post it here, but in the help section, but as most of you are from the UK, maybe some of you are experiencing the same problem as myself, first off may i say what a great phone this is, but the i am having some email issues.

Right setting the account up is ok, i am using a POP 3 account with BT internet settings, the problem i seem to have is that the trash folder and the sent folder seem to be constantly refreshing all the time, it is driving me around the bend at the moment, just wondering are any of you getting the same problem.

Thanks all
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
POP3? Really?

Switch to IMAP ffs
[Nexus 5 General] Schumi 01:
Never tried that to be honest, will give it a try.

Thanks

Anyone else got a unit from the new batch?

My RMA unit is supposed to ship on the 22nd this month....
[Nexus 5 General] sohell:
Are there any known and documented differences between the old and new batches?
[Nexus 5 General] AvRS:
Unfortunately it seems I'm going to have to RMA mine as that stuck pixel is still there when watching videos :( Oh well at least we get to keep playing with our phones while we wait for a new one to come. Will phone them tomorrow and hopefully the wait isn't too long. Also for some reason I can't seem to make calls properly through my cars bluetooth as I get all the audio from the other end but they can't hear me. Worked fine with my N4 so hopefully it's just a problem with this phone and the next one works fine. Still love the phone though, I'm not one of the complaining bunch don't worry :p
[Nexus 5 General] ck.chunkeat:
Hey guys, Im suspecting something wrong with my camera. Too bad there's no other friends who have nexus 5 to compare with. Anyone in Nottingham? :P

Maybe I should try heading to CPW for the display set, do they have a display set there which I can play with?
[Nexus 5 General] deanwray:
Maybe you should say what you think is wrong ! ? Or post screenshot/image ?
[Nexus 5 General] ck.chunkeat:
I'm not sure whether its the same thing with the rest of you guys, but for some reason i notice the focus is quite bad. I know autofocus is bad on this, but i can barely get a correct focus even with manual focus, the pics taken usually shows up blurry/

Comparing with my friend's iphone 5, the camera difference is miles away. :(

In relatively low light, the quality is much better on iphone 5, and it is quite blur on my nexus 5. Sorry no pics.
[Nexus 5 General] undercover:
Reflash factory images
[Nexus 5 General] AvRS:
A quick update and have to say Google customer service is bl00dy fantastic! I called them earlier and got through pretty quickly to a UK service rep who walked me through some troubleshooting tests which I'd already tried so he just said he'll RMA my phone for me and send me a link within the next 20 minutes which he did. I ordered my replacement as soon as the link came through at 10:00 and received shipping notification at 12:41 despite the order status saying leaves warehouse on 22nd November.

Again I'm so glad I went through Google themselves this time round and not an operator like I did for the N4.
