[MENTION=6808460]wingman021280[/MENTION]: wow, that is some finding. I am glad you figured it out.
[Nexus 5 General] flor1ana:
Anyone got the new android 6.0 update?
[Nexus 5 General] wingman021280:
Yes, I've installed it last week. I have not lost data and app settings after these steps btw.

As I was rooted, I've installed (via fastboot/adb) the system and cache imgs (I've also updated to the latest boot and radio though I think it's not required for 6.0).

In order to stay rooted, you need custom kernel. I installed ElementalX. As I am new user and can't post outside links, search these words on google and you will find the link.

"How to Root a Nexus Device Running Android 6.0 wonderhowto" >> 1st link is the link :)

After installing the custom kernel, you can install (via TWRP) the supersu zip.

Done! & Enjoy :)
[Nexus 5 General] tmihai20:
You should have asked before flashing it. If you try to flash the factory images, the script will delete the /data partition. You have to delete the -w parameter in the script and you will get the update while keeping personal data. I am on Android M since the day it launched. The latest TWRP recovery works on Android M. It is easy to root with the Beta 2.50 SuperSu. I am using blu_spark kernel. There are 2 ways to install kernels: one that needs the modified Marshmallow boot image from Chainfire (this is the case for blu_kernel) or just the stock image (like the latest ElementalX kernel 6.01).
[Nexus 5 General] wingman021280:
I have NOT lost data / app settings. There is a "not" in what I wrote earlier :)
[Nexus 5 General] tmihai20:
Sorry, I was paying enough attention. Then you are good :)
[Nexus 5 General] andsuper52:
Does anyone know where can I get a new GOOD battery for my nexus 5 from this country ?
[Nexus 5 General] tmihai20:
Sure. I ordered one (just to have it there in case the original one breaks down) from GSMNet.ro http://www.gsmnet.ro/piese-componente-acumulatori/acumulator-lg-nexus-5-original. It costs 75 now, I payed 69 when I bought it. GSMnet has some free shipping days from time to time. Subscribe to their newsletter, they are announcing it in advance. I know a few other guys on the Softpedia thread for Nexus 5 http://forum.softpedia.com/topic/915576-lg-nexus-5/. You can find anything about our Nexus 5 there.
[Nexus 5 General] andsuper52:
^ thanks a lot. I have the phone for almost two years now, I hope the battery replacement is gonna improve my battery life. ( It should tho )
[Nexus 5 General] icsulescu:
I physically bought it they have it on stock I order it on Friday night and today I took it. I have no idea about 32Gb version but since it has OTG support I don’t care to much about storage. I have had N4 16Gb model and it didn't bother me.

Regards,

Me
[Nexus 5 General] icewavedesign:
If you want to buy the phone from USA you should know that you can't use 4G in Europe using that model.

Also, before buying from other countries, keep in mind that the warranty is available only in that country.

The best deal you can make so far: If you're having friends in Spain/Italy, you can ask them to buy the phone and also verify it (in case the phone needs replacement -- dead pixels, wireless not working etc). If everything is ok then ask them to ship the phone to Romania.
[Nexus 5 General] nepotu:
I know that US LTE bands are different that the EU ones. That's why there are two distinct models: D820 for US and D821 for the rest of the world.

The warranty should apply per region: the units bought in US have warranty valid in US, while the devices from EU have warranty on EU. The idea of ordering it from GP Italy crossed my mind, but for the time being I wanna see what will be the price in RO for the 32GB version.
[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
So, where did you purchase it form?

i am waiting to sell my N4, and stiil wondering where to buy it from? UK, add 50e and take it from emag.ro?

hows the warranty in europe? from UK is valid in other countries?
[Nexus 5 General] icewavedesign:
I contacted LG Romania two times asking them if the warranty is available in EU. First time they told me to contact the retailer but the retailer told me to contact LG Romania so I followed their advice. The second time I contacted them they told me that they can't give me an answer about EU warranty. I ended by contacting LG Denmark and they said the warranty is available in the country you have purchased from. Play Store plays by the same rule since they are using the LG service.

I wanted to order the phone from Spain and use it in both Romania and Denmark but I don't think it's a great idea since I could receive the phone with big defects and I couldn't replace it.
[Nexus 5 General] regius:
The warranty should be valid all over Europe. At least this was my experience with laptops purchased in Germany. Sent it to Fujitsu service in Bucharest and they fixed it under warranty, no questions asked. I am waiting for my 32 GB black N5 to arrive by the end of this week
[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
this is a different situation, and the history with Nexus 4 shows that LG is not responsible for selling the device through playstore,..so LG Romania refuses to repair the devices sold through store, due to the fact that they are not officially available in our country.

that was the official answer from LG romania back when a user with nexus 4 asked them. if a search deeply, i can find the letter on the softpedia forum.
[Nexus 5 General] regius:
Well, that pretty much sucks. I think one can pull some legal strings to make LG Romania fix the device, but I think it's not worth the hassle. Let's just hope that I won't have to ever snd my phone to repair.
[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
where did you buy the N5 from? you still have your N4?

and I too love the devices with qwerty keyboard :) (HTC TOUCH PRO2, Motorola Droid 3) ...

where did you buy the N5 from? you still have your N4?

and I too love the devices with qwerty keyboard :) (HTC TOUCH PRO2, Motorola Droid 3) ...
[Nexus 5 General] regius:
I got it from Germany. It should be here on Saturday or Sunday. Yep, I still have the N4, and I will most probably sell it, but haven' decided that yet. at the moment I have a 2nd device (htc desireC) with an RCS internet unlimited sim wich I use for music streaming, navi, sports, etc, and I may ditch that and use the N4 as a secondary device.

Re devices with hard keyboards, it's a shame they don't do them anymore. I got used to type on the screen, bit it's still not the same thing. Especially since I am using my smartphone as my mobile

Office, and do quite a lot of emails and excell editing.
[Nexus 5 General] pit5bul:
Isnt Google selling these devices in Romania ?? i paid 469 AUD for my 32 gb nexus 5 here in australia.. last time i checked the AUD was something like 3.3 ron... thats less than 1600 RON.. cant you buy of Google direct in romania ?? maybe its better use a po box with forwarding to Romania and save some money

PS great to see we have a Romanian community on XDA.. maybe soon android will add spell-checker in Romanian language too..
[Nexus 5 General] regius:
Nope, they don't sell it directly in Ro, but there are resellers, who pretty much charge an arm and a leg for the nexuses. However, the saying goes that the one that gives the money is the stupid, not the one that asks for it.
[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
at resellers one nexus 5 is around 450 euros, 600 dolars...for a 350 dolars device.
[Nexus 5 General] icewavedesign:
Have you bought protective cases or other accessories for your nexus 5? I can only find screen guards in Romania but I'm looking for a good case...
[Nexus 5 General] regius:
I hate screen protectors. I've been running my N4 without a screen protector, just in a cheap made in china silicon case, and even though it's got it's share of falls, it looks very good. I will wait to see my N5 and then I will see if I need a case or not. From what I read, the fact that it is made from plastic make it more prone to screen cracks.
[Nexus 5 General] regius:
Just got my spanking new 32 Gb Nexus5. I have to say it is a beauty. [MENTION=5003714]icewavedesign[/MENTION]: starting next week, oau.ro and also some other retailers will have some cases for the N5
[Nexus 5 General] abaaaabbbb63:
Hello fellow Romanians!

Does anyone know how trustworthy is this site?

http://www.dwyn.ro/lg_google_nexus_5__procesor_quad_core_2_3_ghz_black-27877-0.html

A friend wants to buy the N5 from them.
[Nexus 5 General] regius:
I would say they are trustworthy. I wanted to buy a N7 from them and I talked to somebody there and they seemed quite all right. Anyways, you only pay on delivery, so if they don't send it you don't lose nothing
[Nexus 5 General] nepotu:
[MENTION=4346614]abaaaabbbb63[/MENTION] I don't think 50RON worth the risks (warranty, rma, etc.). I would suggest you go with one of the "big players" (emag, evomag, cel, pc-garage or f64). Also if you're not in a rush wait for the Black Friday promotions. This year emag moved the BF one week early (it will be ob 22nd of November). Even if they won't offer the nexus 5 with a big discount, there is still a chance they will have a 10% off on all the other products, that are not in the BF promotion list, for a few days.

PS: there is no news regarding the 32GB version. :(
[Nexus 5 General] inlovewithnexus:
Hey guys , anyone knows if oau.ro is trustworthy ? I would like to buy a case and some other things from them .

Was looking around on the site and on some products they say that they were mafe for/compatible with the nexus 5 and were actualy for iphone 5 or some other phones.
[Nexus 5 General] icewavedesign:
Even if they are trustworthy, I will not buy from oau.ro. They have high prices, bad photos for products, a freakin' ugly watermark on each photo and they sell products at 6x of the original price.

For example, you can order this case instead of ordering this one
[Nexus 5 General] regius:
They don't have the items at the moment, that's why the pictures on the site aren't real. That's a stupid move if you ask me, I would not put a picture at all. I called them and they said that the actual products will be in their store at the end of next week, and they will update the site at that time
[Nexus 5 General] inlovewithnexus:
Ooooo , nice , nice ! even free shipping , thank you !
[Nexus 5 General] regius:
Nice find!
[Nexus 5 General] icewavedesign:
You should also add some screenguards to your shopping cart, too: these or these. If you want some matte screen guards you can try these. You can also order a charger or an usb cable.

The only problem I found using DX.com is the shipping. They are sending the products from Hong Kong and it takes about 2-3 weeks to receive them. :rolleyes:

LE: You can only pay using a credit card or PayPal
[Nexus 5 General] inlovewithnexus:
Well time is not a problem . Thank you for the information .

Do you know if i can pay when the package arives ? Or do i have to pay via credit card or PayPal ?
[Nexus 5 General] regius:
Just ordered a case and a sports armband from them. I paid with paypal and they charged my account right away. @ icewavedesign: Cheers mate! You just saved me some cash!
[Nexus 5 General] icewavedesign:
No problem :good:

Can someone recommend a good and not overpriced wireless charger?
[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
probably we should make a list of all trustworthy sites?

this is another one

http://www.altex.ro/smartphone-lg-nexus-5-5-8mp-wi-fi-bluetooth-black

i have bad reviews about evomag, cell.ro,koyos.ro.

all of them show items on stock, but when you order it, they say it was on stock at manufacturer/importer and the item will be shipped "as soon as possible" or in the next weeks.

happened to me with all of them last year when o search for a specific Motorola. only the ones linked above are trustworthy, from my point of view.
[Nexus 5 General] coercitiv:
You can also add PcGarage. They have them on stock.
[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
got it from orange. feels really nice.

to unlock it, i will probably have to pay ~100e to them.
[Nexus 5 General] abaaaabbbb63:
The Nexus 5 must come unlocked. Are you sure it's locked?
[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
100% sure. i will try it again at home...but it says also on their site "it can ONLY be used with ORANGE SIM"...and they confirmed this when i bought it.

we are talking about network lock..no other lock. and perhaps writing factory image will not solve this issue.
[Nexus 5 General] CoolZoneAlex:
Any updates regarding the 32GB availability in Romania?
[Nexus 5 General] inlovewithnexus:
It's available at quickmobile . but it's 2500 LEI .
[Nexus 5 General] CoolZoneAlex:
Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately that is not a trustful online shop and I am very unsure regarding the warranty service offered by them.
[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
dont be! most of the device sold at emag.ro ar brought/imported through quickmobile...and serviced also at them. i had a RAZR MAXX serviced at them, and because in 15 days it cannot be repaired, i received the money back. they are more serious that most of the online shops in RO.
[Nexus 5 General] Vazduh:
Hi there. I purchased my N5 from emag last week and the warranty/service is from LG Romania and not QuickService. And btw the phone doesnt have any of the 'well documented' manufacture issues such as dust on the display, rattle power button, etc. Only the speaker I find it to be quite muffed but no bad quality. As for cam quality, well, it can do some really nice pics if you are patient.
[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
Yeah, i know that. I purchased my nexus 4 from them with warranty from LG Romania, but a lot of other phones have warranty from quickmobile.
[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
anyone got the 4.4.1 update?
[Nexus 5 General] inlovewithnexus:
You can trust them !

They also have fizical shops .
[Nexus 5 General] kraven001:
I had a N4 bought from Vodafone and everyone told me is locked. However there wasn't any lock on the phone.

Reboot in fastboot and it will tell you if there is any network lock.
[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
what text exactly should i find in recovery mode?
[Nexus 5 General] kraven001:
There is a network lock: On / Off I think (in fastboot).
[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
nope. there is only secure boot -enabled; lock state-locked..which is the bootloader.
[Nexus 5 General] gamerZ1:
I've got the phone from eMag at 1800RON :D
[Nexus 5 General] inlovewithnexus:
How did you manage to get it so cheap ?
[Nexus 5 General] mariuck:
guys is any of u have problems with the phones ?? like dead pixels, gps, rattle buttons, etc etc

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2509455 << this kind of problems (there are 125+ pages of complains and issues)

I am curious if there is anything different here in Romania
[Nexus 5 General] morphvale:
I've got mine from Germany (White 32GB) but had none of the problems mentioned in that thread.

LCD is fine, checked it just out of curiosity, GPS locks almost instantly, power and volume buttons seem very tight. I do think the speaker volume is quite low, lower then the one on the N4, but I've been used in having only phones with high volume speakers.

LE: Forgot to mention, unit is part of the 310 batch.
[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
mine also works perfectly! from orange Romania bought.
[Nexus 5 General] mad_ady:
Can anybody recommend a romanian store that has flip cases for the Nexus5? I haven't found many models (mostly bumpers)
[Nexus 5 General] Laurentyu1995:
I bought nexus 5 sunday from Media Galaxy Oradea and i also bought this case http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nillkin-V-S...d-Hard-Back-Case-For-LG-Nexus-5-/261349384694 ... It's cool imo and it protect the phone very good and what i like very much is as soon as i open the cover the phone it's unlocking and the screen turns off when i close the cover. I really like this phone. Also in this morning i get the update to 4.4.2.
[Nexus 5 General] mad_ady:
Did you order the case from ebay or did you find it in a romanian shop?
[Nexus 5 General] Laurentyu1995:
From romanian shop at 60 RON
[Nexus 5 General] gamerZ1:
It was resealed.No dead pixels it was like new :D
[Nexus 5 General] inlovewithnexus:
Nice !

Good luck and have fun with it .

Anyone know a good shop where I can get some cases ?

I got one from Quickmobile but it's not meeting my expectations , it's too slippery and it's too much of a dirt magnet .
[Nexus 5 General] gamerZ1:
Already having fun with it.Unlocked the bootloader,root,custom recovery,Franco kernel and cataclysm ROM :) .I bought mine a protection of some sort for like 5RON from a chinese market :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] inlovewithnexus:
Can someone PLEASE download "AndroSensor" app and take some screenshots for me ? I would like to see the sensor values shown there . I think some of my sensors are a little bit off .

Does anyone else have this issue ? : - Try using Sky maps - it just jumps around , i can't get a "lock" ( If i want to watch out for a star or planet on the app it just wobbles around like crazy )

This is driving me insane !

Someone please help me out with some screen shots .
[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
what Romanian predictive text keyboards do you use? the stock one has no Romanian, right?
[Nexus 5 General] anjelika:
I'm using SwiftKey, it has Romanian predictive words and it works great.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Just dropped by to say hello. Got my nexus 2 days ago and it couldnt be more awesome than it is. Stock/faux/xposed.

Bro tip: You can lower min birghtness and auto brightness values using xUtilities module. Lux app is too buggy for me and must be kept alive with notification.
[Nexus 5 General] Mihnea1996:
I keep my phone on minimum brightness all the time. The screen is very bright. Can anyone tell a online shop(not eBay or Amazon ) where I can buy a flip cover case? Or best cases for our phone, I am searching for a good one.

tip: try ART with Animations OFF from developer options. feels like a new phone...twice as fast..
[Nexus 5 General] abaaaabbbb63:
With no animations, everything seems so dull...
[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
well, i did not buy this phone for "fireworks", but for speed. and its so fast...that i don't care about dullness. :)
[Nexus 5 General] :
I find it funny how people talk about performance optimisations for this phone. I actually keep my phone underclocked and undervolted and still can run anything smooth. This is the future's phone. We dont need that much power at the moment.
[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
perhaps you, but some of us appreciate the time until it opens mails,weather and other often used apps.

Anyone know if LG Romania take care of RMA if the phone was bought from UK google play?

Screen cracked

Just dropped my phone from the desk and I managed to crack it's screen... this phone was way too nice top put it in a bumper, so this is the price I'm paying for it. anyone knows if the replacement screen is Gorilla Glass as well?

Anyone has any experience with LG Romania service? are they any good?
[Nexus 5 General] kraven001:
sorry to hear that, yeah it's beauty against protection ...

the replacement should be an OEM part, which should be as the original screen (gorilla glass, 1080p, etc.). as far as romanian "services" go, well, we all know how it is, maybe you get lucky.

there is always the option of doing it yourself but that could prove to be an even worse option.
[Nexus 5 General] regius:
I'll check tomorrow with LG romania service, see how I can get it to them, since I live in Sibiu, and see haow much it will cost to replace the damn screen. I found replacement screens for 600 RON, however, I have "2 left hands", so I will definitely not try to replace it myself...
[Nexus 5 General] Laurentyu1995:
Sorry to hear that. I also keep this beauty without any protection case when i am at home. That's strange that your screen cracked after dropping it from desk. I think that if you will go to LG Romania to replace the screen it should be OEM. I don't recommend you to go to a local service ("service de cartier") because there are 50% chances or more to not be OEM.
[Nexus 5 General] :
I dont really think there are fake replacement parts for nexus 5. After all its not such a common phone like the galaxy series for example
[Nexus 5 General] Laurentyu1995:
Hmm... but still on market there are chinesse replacement screens for nexus 5 and on local services i am almost sure that they buy cheap displays and sell it like an OEM ...maybe a little cheaper. But on LG authorized center i also think that are OEM
[Nexus 5 General] regius:
All right, I contacted LG Service in Romania, the price for repair is 620 RON with an OEM part, which is not so bad considering that for 600 RON you get the display and have to change it yourself. I sent my phone over to them, and I should get it back sometime next week. I'll let you know how it went. btw, the guys at the LG service are really nice, and over the phone they seem professional. we'll see how good they are when I get my phone back.
[Nexus 5 General] morphvale:
Did you bought it off an authorized retailer in Romania, or it didn't matter when you contacted them?

Gsmnet has the display for 599 RON, so getting it repaired by LG seems quite a good bargain.
[Nexus 5 General] regius:
It didn't matter where I got the Nexus. As long as I'm paying for repairs, it's all good :) I'm expecting my phone back today or tomorrow.
[Nexus 5 General] regius:
Just got my Nexus back from repair, with a spanking new display! it looks very good, and since they changed the entire front-frame, I also have bigger holes where the speaker is (so apparently it's the new version) the power button is still a bit loose, but I don't hear it rattling, as others complain. fact is, it did not make any noise before.

the problem is the protection case, I've got a Spigen Slim armor and I don't really like how it looks. I think I will try the Neo-Hybrid as well, but I don't have many expectations in terms of visual improvement. this phone looks best naked, however, there are risks involved, and after what happened, I am not willing to take any more risks.

The guys at ESD-ROM - the LG service in Romania are very nice and helpful, and they also did a good job in repairing my phone. I would recommend them over any "service de cartier"
[Nexus 5 General] morphvale:
You could also try the Nilkin one, it's quite slim and fits pretty good. It has a rubbery feeling and a good grip. Stay away from the white version though, tends to get quite dirty on the sides, if you keep your phone in your pockets.
[Nexus 5 General] ro_bo:
Hi guys! :)

I've got my nexus 5 since december 2013 and i'm not very happy with it..

It has a lot of bugs with the camera and some system apps, the power button is rattling, the speaker is a disaster and the battery life is not very good when using mobile data.

i've heard that there is a new version with some fixes.

I have two questions:

-if i take my phone to the shop from where i bought it(emag), they will replace it with the new version??:D

-if i root it i will unlock the bootloader, is this right?if somethings goes wrong (the power button falls or anything else) i can lock back my bootloader to keep my guarantee and repair it for free?:D

Thanks for all and i appreciate that you created this threat :good::good::good:
[Nexus 5 General] :
Yes you can lock it back using fastboot oem lock. Anyway they shouldnt have a problem with the unlocked bootloader if you have a hardware problem which could not be made by software changing like overclock, over/under volt. I dont really think they will blame an unlocked bootloader for a rattling power button rofl
[Nexus 5 General] nevrozel:
SwiftKey is by far the most accurate keyboard, even for Romanian.
