My first attempt at a photosphere after getting my Nexus 4 was inside the Fargodome for an NDSU football game. My season ticket is in the endzone so the photosphere worked really well for the field, opposite endzone, and sidelines, but my endzone didn't turn out so hot. I have a great Auto-awesome from the National Championship game down in Texas (the first road trip for my N4). There was a pair of propane cannons behind the stage where they were handing over the trophy and I took about 8 pictures trying to get a good shot of the cannons mid burst which Google stitched together into a pretty great GIF.

Tailgating for NDSU football is almost as big as the game itself. They allow us to start 5.5 hours before kickoff and regardless of weather there are always thousands of people (sometimes 20k+ if the weather is nice and it is a big game) with dozens of custom painted/wrapped busses, vans, trailers, trucks, an antique firetruck, etc and hundreds of tents, canopies, and ice fishing houses. It's insane. Next home game is November 9 so hopefully I have my Nexus 5 by then and I can see how well the OIS handles my drunk self trying to get pictures of the tailgate lot.

[Nexus 5 General] ChazzMatt:
That's an ad for Solavei, not a real news source.

And it's a deceptive ad at that. They mention the Nexus 5, but only compare Solavei HSPA to T-mobile HSPA+ (which is the same as Solavei is a MNVO of T-mobile.).

What they do NOT mention is the Nexus 5 is LTE device and while T-mobile has LTE, Solavei cannot access T-mobile's LTE network.)

So, it doesn't matter how cheap Solavei's HSPA+ is, when you probably want to use LTE with this phone.

Ordered mine and got a confirmation e-mail already, woot!
[Nexus 5 General] Pyroshane:
Much more painless than last year's Nexus 4 launch. I got the notification from @n5stock on my Pebble at around 1:01 Central Time, pulled my phone out of my pocket and by 1:04 I had my confirmation email.
[Nexus 5 General] ctowne:
Woooo! That was way better than last year. Hopefully it actually ships out before or on they day they say it will :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] Sarsoman:

i literally could not wait so I paid the extra 4 bucks for expedited shipping. Heck, I'm already paying ~$430 what $4 extra lol. CANNOT WAIT!!
[Nexus 5 General] crawlgsx:
The ordering was definitely much better. Stupid me decided to sweep my office at 1:55 so I didn't get back to my desk until 2:10, eeek!

Hopefully things play nice with the shipping/tracking/info this year :D.
[Nexus 5 General] wvcadle:
Already out of stock on the 16GB black version. Heh.

Also, the 'ship by' dates have changed to Nov. 8.
[Nexus 5 General] Moh_Jay:
Now the even harder part... Waiting until the 5th-6th
[Nexus 5 General] garwynn:
Well, I'm on hold for 12 hours - Sprint doesn't start preorders until tomorrow.

Good anyhow since I don't have the cash yet for it.

Preorders will be at http://www.sprint.com/nexus5

But as the sig now says, anyone that donates from this point on - that's where it is going to.

This is a #1 priority for me as I would like to see it get used to get official on all the major AOSP projects.
[Nexus 5 General] markwebb:
Ok, ordered mine a half hour ago. Shipping next week.

So, this is my first NEXUS unsubsidized. Says TMobile or Sprint are the carriers. How do I do activate/get service? Month to month? TMobile doesn't have Nexus 5 listed yet in BYO. I can't find anything relating to BYO from Sprint.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] gee one:
I ordered one and the confirmation said the ship date is no later than November 5th. Is this what everyone else is seeing?

[Nexus 5 General] Lootes:
I am curious why up till a minute ago the site said the 32GB white was in stock and ships in 1 to 2 bus days, but my order I placed an hour ago has it listed as pre-order
[Nexus 5 General] land2634:
I can't speak for TMobile, but I believe Sprint only does on-contract plans. I could be totally wrong though. If so, someone please correct me.
[Nexus 5 General] Lancez:
mine confirmation email saids "ships by Nov.5", i optioned 2 day shipping. hopefully i'll get it by the end of next week. ordered a white 32G :highfive:
[Nexus 5 General] markwebb:
Depends on the timing of the order. I saw it go from Shipping Now>>>>Nov 5th>>>Nov 8th. And now sold out on 16 black. Mine says no later than 11/5 as well. Sometimes they ship it early. Last year I bought the Nexus 7 as soon as it was on sale (refresh button constantly! LOL) and it gave me a date a few days out but the next day I got an email saying it shipped!
[Nexus 5 General] garwynn:
Sprint will have to be purchased through them.

..........

Just ordered the 16GB black version. Made it all the way through purchase but now I get this screen...

However, my Google Wallet is showing the transaction as pending...

It's been about 25 minutes with no email and every time I refresh the order screen the message stays the same. At least this year I made it through most the checkout process :laugh:. If this attempt doesn't work I'll just give it a few more weeks. Don't have time to play the mind games that came with the N4 launch.

Anyone have ANY idea when Amazon might start selling the N5?
[Nexus 5 General] S8B:
I just blew $900 bucks. I was originally only going to buy an N5 White 32GB as a surprise for my girl (she got her iPhone 5 stolen, switching her over to the dark side). I told myself "be logical, your HTC One is fine enough" and could not resist. Damn you Google, damn you.
[Nexus 5 General] ctowne:
Hahaha you'll love it. You can sell the One for about 375 depending on the condition.

Downtown Jeff Brown! Ha... Did you get one? Feels like those horrible n4 days waiting. Did Andrea pick one up or is she still hung over from the sox win
[Nexus 5 General] crawlgsx:
Seems very unrealistic unless KitKat is a battery saving beast. My G2 (which is pretty much the same specs sans bigger screen and bigger battery) cant get anywhere near THAT time. It is the first phone I have ever owned though that I can reliably go 2 days without charging, sometimes 3. It has been amazing. Skeptical that the N5 will even come close with a 2300 vs 3000mah battery though.
[Nexus 5 General] Jayrod1980:
Sitting here with a three pack of spigen screen protectors, a spigen slim armor and ultra hybrid cases waiting for this phone. Don't screw this up this time Google! How about some QC this time?

Edit: just got confirmation email!! :)
[Nexus 5 General] markwebb:
That doesn't make sense. Why would they offer it on Play Store?

[Nexus 5 General] jeepdroid31:
what is going to be a good carrier to activate the nexus 5 with that is non-contract?
[Nexus 5 General] JCreazy:
T-Mobile, Aio, or Straight Talk
[Nexus 5 General] ctowne:
Andrea was way too hung over to pick one up. She was about an hour too late :(
[Nexus 5 General] djkinetic:
I did the same, and I'm worse, I have a LG G2, which essentially is the same phone lol...not to mention before the g2, have an s4, one, nexus 4 just lying around...damn u google!!!
[Nexus 5 General] ChazzMatt:
Interesting. This is the first non-Sprint branded phone in recent memory allowed on their network.

You ALWAYS had to buy from Sprint to use on Sprint.

Heads up, if you want one on Sprint, you can order the same device via the Play Store as well.

I'm pretty sure this also means one "Nexus 5 Android/Original Development" Section for all 3 carriers (ATT/TMobile/Sprint) and there won't have to be separation between ROMs. (maguro/toro/toroplus)
[Nexus 5 General] anactoraaron:
Not sure, but It's possible that Amazon won't sell the phone at all.

Also, the cool thing about the unlocked phone also supporting Sprint is it should even gives is pre-paid folks more options to who want to use depending on the month.

I was sooo ready for the Google sneak today! I had chrome running Page Monitor extension on the Google play devices page, and my sound cranked up! I heard that DING! something changed on the page alarm and BAM! there was the Nexus 5. I pulled the trigger in less than 20 seconds and got my confirmation instantaneously. I was feeling pretty smug thinking I was the first order, but in reality, 500 people probably beat me in the 19 seconds before me. :D Total adrenaline rush though!!!

I almost thought I missed it because I found out it had been released about 40 minutes later, then I started reading headings such as Nexus 5 sold out in the US luckily enough I gave it a shot and was able to grab a 32gb black one from the Google Play Store although it might be from the 2nd batch since it's shipping until Novemeber 8th, but no worries, I'll be anxiously anticipating it. :D
[Nexus 5 General] Nnyan:
500 is an to low. I wasn't going to rely on any script I figured if the 11am time was right it would hit within 15 mins so I just kept hitting refresh on my three PCs. Not sure how fast my order was but the time stamp on my order email said 11.08.05

Guys I need some help.

I just ordered an U.S Nexus 5 and I noticed that Google's specs sheet states that the U.S model only support LTE bands of (1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41) whereas the "rest of the world model supports (1/3/5/7/8/20).

I just discovered that the mobile carriers in my country work provide their LTE services on band no. 3 with a frequency of 1800 MHz, which is,apparently, not supported by the U.S model.

My question is: does this mean my U.S Nexus 5 will never be able to work on my country's LTE networks? is it hardware or software issue that can be fixed later on? thanx

Does anybody know a way to get it from somewhere else? I have enough money for the 16 GB phone but I was an idiot and didn't calculate shipping and tax. I usually buy from amazon and they don't include that. So now I'm 35 dollars short. 21 for tax and 13.99 for shipping. Is there somewhere else I can buy it at or should I justnwait a couple more weeks and save upmto get it from Google? I'm only 16 with no job (I'm a student) so it takes me a while to save up money. I had 2o0 saved up and my mom was going to pay for the other 150 and now I don't have enough. :(:(:(:( Any suggestions?

[Nexus 5 General] mabovalu:
Does anyone have a feel for how many mobile-data (3G/LTE) variants there are for the GNEX 5?

When I look on the U.S. Play Store, I see:

2G/3G/4G LTE

North America:

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

CDMA: Band Class: 0/1/10

WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/19

LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41

Rest of World:

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8

LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20

Does that represent two separate variants? D820 and D821? And if so, am I offered the option to choose?
[Nexus 5 General] garwynn:
My understanding is they're all one variant allowed on two carriers.
[Nexus 5 General] mabovalu:
OK.

Anand Tech has this:

(D820) North America: GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

CDMA: Band Class: 0/1/10

WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/19

LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41

(D821) Rest of World: GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz

WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8

LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20

which seems to indicate two (2) separate/distinct variants: D820 (U.S.) and D821 (R.O.W.).

[Nexus 5 General] hackdisk:
I believe you only get the North America variant when buying at the US Play Store.

Somewhat limits the reselling of cheaper US nexus to some countries. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] trent25:
and LTE access when traveling abroad. Band 3 is the most common worldwide (essentially the roaming band) yet it wasn't included. Maybe on purpose, maybe constrained by SoC modem :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] mabovalu:
That's the crux of my question/issue.

Is this due to a hardware difference? Or software/firmware/base-band ( not sure what the appropriate terminology is)?

It's pentaband hspa so you still get signal in other countries.

Why do they use UPS?! Blah!!

Wish they used USPS so I could get it on Saturday!
[Nexus 5 General] crawlgsx:
X2, USPS is so much better.
[Nexus 5 General] htowngator:
Hell to the fk no, sorry.

USPS is a joke if you miss their delivery person, and their tracking is so terrible it can go burn in hell.

Yea, I hate them that much. They don't do address confirmation by default before you ship, and I had someone put a 77 instead of 70 in my zip code so USPS said "can't deliver" after it made it all the way into town. They held the package for 5 business days before finally shipping it back to the sender, and none of their agents could tell me where it was or if it had been sent back. Total joke of an operation.
[Nexus 5 General] bobalias:
UPS is rock solid, USPS has incredibly vague tracking information and no delivery customization/options. I always groan when I see someone shipped something to me via USPS. Although it is cheap, particularly with the flat rate boxes, so it has that going for it.
[Nexus 5 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Agree with both of you 100%

Sent from my LG-E970 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Nexus 5 General] crawlgsx:
So what you have is a problem with stupid people and USPS Not correcting a stupid problem.

USPS is quicker, cheaper, and unlike UPS and Fedex I have NEVER had a package lost due to them. They also leave the package at my door, whereas UPS picks a new location every time and it's a fun game of hide and seek (of which the last one I never found and UPS told me to F myself).

I also like the fact that, where I live in the sticks, my mail/USPS Packages still come by 12-2pm. Whenever I have to wait for UPS I am lucky to get it by 5. Then we add in NO saturday for UPS, and only certain Fedex.

Obviously everyone's experiences differ, but I will still take USPS any day of the week, we shall just have to agree to disagree :).
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
They use UPS Mail Innovations for shipping. USPS does not provide such a service for high volume orders. UPS MI is a pretty advanced system. No way USPS could handle it.
[Nexus 5 General] bobalias:
I think it really depends on where you live, not just rural/suburb/city, but even what specific street. At my current house in the city, UPS comes around 12:45pm every day, whereas USPS doesn't come until around 4:30pm. Similarly, your specific driver matters. My UPS guy is excellent, always leaves stuff in the same sort of hidden spot and never makes me sign for things unnecessarily.
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
Simply not true. USPS doesn't have the capability to reliably send thousands of packages from one location in a timely manner. They simply are not set up to handle that amount of load. So yes, maybe an individual package can be delivered reliably but they do not offer a service like UPS Mail Innovations to handle the whole process for online orders like Google Play. If they used USPS for Google Play you would get it much later than UPS. And people would jump off cliffs because the tracking is so terrible.

Check this thread by FlexyCore:

http://androidforums.com/app-game-announcements/46353-android-10-times-faster-droidbooster.html

It has been in the works for 2 years, Google merged the developers into Android already, the official business merger was only finalized recently. This probably explains why they went silent and never released anything other than the app demonstrating the optimizations. The technology is likely already in JellyBean, or hopefully give another boost in KitKat.
