[Nexus 5 General] tango280581:
Just spoke to a guy from Google play regarding order. He told me to ignore the 2-3 weeks shipping status, they've put that because theyre expecting a high number of orders and are just covering there arses. He said they have plenty of stock in but are staggering orders in case parcel force can't keep up. I ordered it on 4th and it left Google on 4th, its with parcel force. He said the 8th of November delivery schedule is just them and parcel force covering there backsides too.
[Nexus 5 General] ghandi500:
I ordered mine on the 4th, got my shipping notification yesterday and it should arrive today..Only my workplace are sending me to Norway until next week so I likely won't see mine until Monday
[Nexus 5 General] JknRich:
Pick up mine on 1/11/13 CPW had 1 left in my town. So glad I did. Love the phone it self. Coming from a H1 there are a couple of things I miss. But love it overall.

OK Google

Anyone wanting the "OK Google" command to work for UK English, send feedback in the Google now settings. The more people that report it the more chance we have of Google adding the feature.

Changing the language to US English is not the solution, it also changes the voice recognition to US accent. For me this does not pick up words anywhere near as well as when set to UK English.
[Nexus 5 General] m4xi:
after I typped in a wrong billing adress (.....) I had to order yday again at the play store to avoid the waiting time for manual credit checking. Well... I just got the email that my phone was sent after ordering with a 2-3 weeks waiting time - brilliant :)

now I have to sell my nexus 4..
[Nexus 5 General] androidfish:
I wonder whether you ordered from the same ebay merchant as me. (Screen protector is too big and has 3 rectangular cutouts that don't seem to match anything on the phone.)

I've popped them a message asking for a refund/replacement (it was mentioned in the listing after all). Will see what happens.

---------- Post added at 11:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

Does this setting also affect the voice used for the text to speech? I found the male voice they used for UK English back in Jelly Bean quite irritating, but I had to change the language for the whole device to get rid of it :p
[Nexus 5 General] justbabu:
No, text to speech now has a female UK English accent.
[Nexus 5 General] nareik91:
Ah, cheers for the information. Just thought it was rather odd that they delivered it and then took it back 2hrs later! They also told my neighbour that it contained a nexus 5, thought it was a bit strange! Look forward to getting it on Friday!
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
I am sure Google is actively working on adding this feature for many regions as a matter of course anyway.

There wasn't a UK specific press launch (in fact, even in the US it was only a few select publications) so this is always a problem - when a feature is promoted that turns out not to be (officially) available everywhere. OK Google is one of those, and I agree that changing language isn't perfect.

However, for me, it's not a feature I'll use much - if at all. I use Google Now a lot, and do add reminders, but still prefer to do it using the phone. That said, I've always been impressed with the accuracy of Google's voice recognition - but I still don't feel the need to use it for anything more than a test, demonstration or to show off.

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 PM ----------

That must show just how many they've been delivering as they clearly recognise the packaging and the sender details!

There's nothing on the exterior packaging that I can recall that would otherwise give away what the content was. I don't recall there being a company name (Expansys, Google etc) on the sender - just a building name and address.
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
Did you get yours from "londonmagicstore"?

Thats where I got mine from, I messaged them about it and they have refunded me £1, initially they said 90p but I said "where am I going to find a screen protector for 90p?" and then they generously offered 10p more ;)

Can't grumble too much I guess, the case it self seems to fit the phone quite well though, which colour did you go for?
[Nexus 5 General] androidfish:
Yep, same seller then.

I got it in clear (would have preferred smoked, but I think the only black ones they sell are opaque?) When putting the phone in it seemed quite tight compared to other gel cases I've had, but it's fine now it's on.

Works as a cheapie for now. Will admit to looking with interest at the photos of everyone's spigen cases in the accessories forum, but hey, gives me something to put on my Christmas list. (OH seems to think I'm hard to buy for.)
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
Yeah I got the black which is opaque but I knew the clear would probably look a bit naff as it isn't crystal clear.

Yeah I thought it was a bit tight too but rather that then it being really loose, I've got the Spigen UltraHybrid too as my ETA date was a lot later than the S Line case but sods law that the Spigen arrived before the S Line!
[Nexus 5 General] pepdavies:
Got mine just now. Bootloader is now unlocked. Power button is a bit wobbly but no light bleed or dead pixels that I can see. it's beautiful :)
[Nexus 5 General] ck.chunkeat:
I got my nexus 5 after ordering it on saturday. :D

So far so good, just the wobbling power button issue but its no big deal.

Anyway, how do I check for dead pixels or light bleed? As far as i can see, all the pixels are lit up.

Also, anyone from the UK ordered the ringke slim case from amazon? Did they charge any additional tax?
[Nexus 5 General] simonr43:
Yesterday I checked CPW website and the sim free 16GB nexus 5 was priced at £425 (I think, can't remember for definite but certainly over £400) and out of stock. Checking now and there is no sim free price at all.

I was gobsmacked about the price hike, it looks like they will do to the Nexus 5 what they did to the Nexus 4.
[Nexus 5 General] balb0wa73:
I ordered the white 16gb this morning 10.30am from the play store, had the shipped email with tracking number at 3.30pm ;)
[Nexus 5 General] 00taffy:
Wow buying Nexuses never go well for me (mainly because I'm impatient)

Nexus 7 --> Ordered from Google Play @ launch, picked up next day in store, cancelled credit card to stop Google from shipping it

Nexus 4 --> Paid full price (£389) at CPW because there wasn't any stock for weeks

Nexus 5 --> Ordered minutes after, picked up next day at CPW. Now I'm stuck with an extra one.

Speaking of which, there isn't much demand on Gumtree / Ebay for N5 it seems. Tried to sell my bnib 16gb black for what I paid for, and have been getting almost no interest. I'm thinking of just RMAing it at this point.
[Nexus 5 General] thefiqs:
Got my Spigen case today from Amazon. Looks a used one or dunno but hard scratches on the back. :(
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
Yes, the SIM free price has now gone completely. Not surprised - after I Tweeted the price hike yesterday, it spread all over the place and made at least one news story.

Not good PR for CPW!
[Nexus 5 General] jojohan:
Which Spigen case is this? Would the back be prone to scratches then?

Also, when was this ordered / dispatched? I got my dispatch confirmation from Amazon 10 am on Friday, 1 Nov, but am still waiting for the case. Using my N5 naked now and it is stressing me out ha.
[Nexus 5 General] thefiqs:
Ultra hybrid, ordered same day as you. But in the morning, 07.32, maybe you ordered on the afternoon and will get it tomorrow?!
[Nexus 5 General] jojohan:
Alright thanks mate, yeah sure do hope so.
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
Anyone try out a possible UI bug for me? not sure if anyone else has mentioned/noticed it.

pull down the Notification bar and then lock the phone without pulling the bar back up and then turn it back on, is your status bar now black?
[Nexus 5 General] pepdavies:
Yes, but if it you pull it down and release afterwards it goes back to transparent
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
Yeah I know still kinda annoying tho lol
[Nexus 5 General] pepdavies:
I'm so impressed with DPD delivery. The live tracking is awesome. They said they would deliver half an hour after i finished work, which was slightly annoying, but I could see where the van was every time I refreshed the page and he drove in as I walked into reception. Last time I had a phone delivered the only info was that it had left the Exeter depot. I think Google could learn from Carphone Warehouse.
[Nexus 5 General] deanwray:
good catch, do you know how to report bugs ? https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/entry always useful as that bug is not reported yet!
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
Just done it now wasn't aware of being able to do that, thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
Have you removed the protective plastic sheets on both sides of the clear back?

This is easily missed and it isn't immediately obvious :)
[Nexus 5 General] thefiqs:
Oh, I'm soo fool. Thanks mate! I've checked a video of installation on youtube and the presenter didn't removed any protective sheet. And yeah, it isn't obvious because this foil almost invisible. Removed and now I'm happy! Thanks again. :)
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
What, you mean increase the price by £130 or stop selling it SIM-free completely after just a few days once it started to suffer a backlash on social networks for the cheek of trying to profit from the demand?!

DPD is certainly one of the better couriers, but despite the moans on here on Sunday, I had no problems with ParcelForce at all - and it seems a lot of other people didn't either.

You can always ask Expansys to consider using DPD in the future. Going by how successful the shipping has been going, I hope they'll get the distribution deal on the Nexus 10 and future devices.
[Nexus 5 General] nozzla:
Got my 32gb in black today. What an awesome phone. So fast and smooth. Don't be too jealous.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gubbs:
Just wondering if it is possible ..

2003SE is lightening fast, has all the apps I actually use .. a lot .. and is far easier to tweak than wm5.

I presume device drivers wont be an issue since half the stuff is just re-used from other products?

Am I hopelessly without a clue? Hehe.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xiasma:
No. If you want WM2003SE + VGA screen, I'd say get an HP Hx4700 or similar + a mobile. Yuck.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gubbs:
Why yuck, do they blow chunks?

Reviews seem quite good like.

I've given it serious thought tbh. I mean the mobile aspect of the universal as it is, is rather crap. Video calls are poor, answering the thing is hard work without hands free and its a brick. Not to mention you have no idea who is calling until you answer due to the absense of an external display.

Not knocking it .. I chose one after all .. but its not a bad thing getting a seperate PDA and mobile really tbh.

I was just wondering if your response was due to the IPAQ being a piece of crap .. or just an opinion of PDA vs XDA.

The only reason I went with the Universal was because it worked out cheaper for a years use @ 200 mins a month and the handset than the cost of a single IPAQ 4700
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xiasma:
Well, the idea of carrying even more around with me, not to mention having to keep something else charged. Don't get me wrong, the Hx4700 is an excellent device.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenortor:
Hello. I'm stuck in Android System Recovery <3e> and i need your help, thank you in advance.

I'm afraid to brick the phone and i'd really appreciate some fast help! I'm affraid the phone could run out of battery even if plugged in!

I downloaded Samsung Galaxy NoteII Toolkit V4.1.0

I installed the drivers

I started to root my phone, I chose the fifth option

I went trough Odin, and then when the phone was detected I chose cwm and it rebooted again, it went in Android System Recovery <3>

I can read this

The toolkit told me to press any button when i was in sideload mode. So i pressed and it said "error: closed" then i sayed press any button when file installed ready to reboot (something like that). I tried and i pressed a random key and it said "error: closed" and went back to main menu and i'm still in Android system recovery <3e>

Now, i'm still plugged to the computer. I'd would like to start all over. What should i do? Reboot system now? unplug the phone? Take the battery out? I already tried power + volume up combo. It reboot and goes back to where i was.

I'm afraid to brick the phone and i'd really appreciate some fast help! I'm affraid the phone could run out of battery even if plugged in!

Edit: I took a shot and chose "reboot system now". Everything seems to work fine but Root checkers says i'm not rooted. I would like to know if i can start again without worrying about what happen?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydeah:
Basically I just want to have an app which opens the Contact associated with that e-mail when someone taps on an e-mail address.

I know this would overwrite the function of Compose (if it is already selected), so the best option would be for this app to give two option.

Tap on email (in email to, sender, email body, or website, etc..)

Window pops up and has two options

-- CONTACTS

when Contact selected, it opens the contact in View mode so we can see contact details.

-- COMPOSE

when Compose is selected, it opens list of e-mail apps (OR if a default is selected already, runs that app)

What do you guys think? Is this doable?

Thank you in advance for any and all help provided,

I switched from my HTC G2 to a S4 and I want a notification sound that my G2 had on my S4. If I root the G2 can I extract and use the sound on my S4? If not is there another way to extract the sounds/alerts?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dream Reality Syndrome:
I'm sure once you root, you can use a file manager such as root browser and search the system files for the sound you want
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicicarus:
Thank you for the reply,

Would you know what file by name I should look for? I am not to "phone techie" but I can manage..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
You don't need to extract it from your phone most likely, just find a stock ROM for the g2 and download it.

The notification sounds will all be in

/system/media/audio/notifications

Then you can just install to sdcard on new phone

But if you root your g2 it will make a much better backup device
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vicicarus:
Thank you so much for the assistance,

Ok so I will just look for a stock ROM and look for the sound file. Sounds easy enough to do. Thank you all for the help with this matter.

Thank you all for the help,

After some searching I found the rom and YES!!!! I got the sound bite from it.

Everything else look amateurish next to this review...

She raises some great concerns about the G2, regarding the following topics:

1. Screen color accuracy.

2. GPS accuracy.

3. Camera exposure.

After watching that entire piece (about an hour long) you become very aware just how many shortcomings this phone has... and it's still one of the best options we have now.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
No, everything looks less OCD compared to that review. I have been following her channel for a while but she gets too technical now about things that 95% of people will either not care about or even notice. And she has been known to show a strong bias towards Samsung.

1. The last I checked there is not a single person doing graphic design on their phones or watching the majority of their movies or television on their phones. Who cares that much about color accuracy? As long as the screen pops and doesn't have any super noticeable problems then who really cares?

2. The GPS locks quick and takes me to where I need to go consistently. Who cares if it doesn't show me sitting on my couch and it's a little off?

3. It's a phone and it has been well documented that that this camera takes very respectable shots in most situations. Did I already say it's a phone?
[G2 General] tomthedancingbug:
her review is all kinds of wrong, she calls the g2 a midsize phone when its really a small phone, for example
[G2 General] shook187:
Her rants about pixels and sub-pixels do get annoying.
[G2 General] G1_enthusiast:
she could have a faulty unit but I use my GPS a lot and if your driving somewhere, well its good for the phone to tell you that your on the highway when your on the highway and not on a small road. happens several time with my past phone which is very annoying

the night camera video recording is very...bad to say the least. thank god there is fix in the android developement section but it shouldnt be like this in 2013, I had the HTC G2 and it did that (14fps at night) reason why I switch to samsung.

[G2 General] CtK4949:
Who holds their phone like that?? With ur thumb in the middle of the screen??

I tried it on my Verizon LG G2 and it does not come on that often, but if it does. It does not open any apps!!

She must have "magical" thumbs!!
[G2 General] curly9:
Lol I did watch the video but useless lol. I love it. When I try or use other phones I try to tap it to turn on to realize it doesn't work lol. I love the feature
[G2 General] barondebxl:
I totally agree. She is way too OCD about things. Im subscribed to her channel and she definitely knows what shes talking about in general but for example, she said that the note 3 display is a let down. Its her opinion but I think the display is great. But she does a great job at going in depth of things.
[G2 General] tomthedancingbug:
in my opinion the best reviews come from either lisa from mobile tech review or pocket now(mainly michael fisher)

both present pros and cons straightforward with very little bias for any device/manufacturer

everyone else is either crazy or being paid for

[G2 General] vegetaleb:
Bro I am still using my One,not decided on what to choose between S4,G2 and Note 3
[G2 General] Noam23:
I don't understand all these comments about her having obsessive compulsive disorder. You get the most professional review to date, and you criticize her for having OCD ? why ? because she found many flaws with the phone ? that's a lame excuse.
[G2 General] barondebxl:
I have been subscribed to her channel for awhile so personally im not saying it just from this video. She definitely knows what she is talking about and I guess she looks at everything with a microscopic eye so to speak. She might be bothered by the gamut or saturation or whatever the case may be about a disolay, I just look at it and if it looks good then its good to go.
[G2 General] shook187:
I base it on all all her reviews. Screw the flaws she found.
[G2 General] barondebxl:
Damn man hahaha. Best of luck. Sometimes u just gotta take a dive. I cannkt wait for my G2. Sorry for the off topic guys.
[G2 General] charlie_c:
I can find lots of flaws with anything. That doesn't make my points professional, legitimate, or noteworthy. Her points are nitpicky and opinionated, which makes them come across as "OCD".
[G2 General] Darkestred:
So i guess no one in this thread has a g2, then? Or does everyone have a g2?

I have a g2. I didn't need her review to get me one. World is full of people. No different than you or i. Take what you need from the reviews and make your decision. If the camera is **** in one review then look for another phone.

I loved the look of the phone from the get-go. So i got it. There will always be someone who will break every little thing down to make it seem inferior and that's fine. But just do your own due diligence and make an informed decision. If someone doesn't like this feature don't just go up, this phone sucks.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
Umm, no. I have also been subscribed for a long time and she definitely knows her technical stuff. No doubt about it and I won't dispute it.

But she is way overboard now. Putting a microscope to the Note 3 screen showing us what absolutely nobody with normal eyes will notice in everyday use. It's just silly.

While she knows her stuff and does hour long reviews, that doesn't mean it's automatically good or will apply to the majority of the population.

I bet you can walk out to the street today and ask 100 people if the Note 3 screen looks good to them and I bet 98-100 would say yes.

So yes, she is nitpicky and not always right in general.
[G2 General] leyvatron:
Thats not a review, its a movie.

People don't want to watch more than 2-8 minutes for a YouTube video.

One thing I do like about her videos: In her comments you can jump to the topic you want to see.
[G2 General] WhiteZero:
There is a difference between being "nit-picky" or "OCD" (btw, it's shameful people would apply a serious mental disorder to this video) and just being detailed. I suppose people who are only interested in the most superficial information could see this kind of video as those negative adjectives. I'd say her presentation is the YouTube equivalent of an AnandTech review. Those who are afraid of actual technical information should probably stick to The Verge reviews... :rolleyes:
