It was my first line of action. Lol. Anyways, Didn't spot a single used Nexus 5 in whole of Hafeez Centre. Shouldn't say whole tho, as you know rozas and I didnt stres too much. However, I bought a new one for my friend for 39K.

I was thinking maybe I could score one for 29K (used) approx otherwise I'll wait for the next Nexus to come out this October.
[Nexus 5 General] aeoveu:
What about homeshopping.pk? Have you checked out there?
[Nexus 5 General] Taimur Akmal:
I don't think HomeShopping sells used phones or do they? :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] mzr7:
They do usually those which a customer when a customer exchanges their old phone for a new phone. They usually have a couple in there.
[Nexus 5 General] Taimur Akmal:
I am looking for a new phone and don't want to exchange or anything. Also, Homeshopping is currently out of stock. :-/
[Nexus 5 General] SecretPlayer:
Which version did you bought for 39k 16gb or 32gb?

The new nexus is not going to be a phone its a tablet which is being built by htc :cool: so you dont have to wait.

Do you own a black nexus or white?

I am going to buy nexus 5 in a few days but i am stuck in color choice. The black one has a soft back but the phone seems cheap and the white nexus has a glossy back and sides and the phone seems more expensive, attractive and premium but the phone shows fingerprints on sides. I would like to use my phone with custom back cover cases. Can i change the full casing of my nexus five after buying like changing the black one to white one?

[Nexus 5 General] Taimur Akmal:
Nah, HTC will probably build the Nexus 7 successor. The Nexus 5 successor is yet to have any rumours except confirmation that it will be released in October. So yeah, Nexus 5's next version will be worth the wait definetly! :D Plus, I bought Nexus 5 16GB Black for 39k (For my friend).
[Nexus 5 General] SecretPlayer:
Well if you want to wait for the next nexus 5 than keep waiting because there are many reasons why it is not coming this year. Some of the biggest reasons are Android silver project Ara and Android One. If you dont know about these than google it :cool:. The new nexus tablet images have been leaked from many sources.

[Nexus 5 General] Taimur Akmal:
You are misguided my friend. Nexuss 5 successor is definetly due this year. You can debate about the time and whatsoever but Nexus 5's successor is due. First of all, Nexus line of phones get updated yearly. Not my opinion but a fact. Secondly, Sundar Pichai (Head of Android at Google) confirmed Nexus 5's successor release in second half of this year. Thirdly, round about when Google I/O was taking place at San Francisco, a google official confirmed October will be the month when Nexus 5's successor will come out. Link to the story: http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/5458...-release-date-specs-features.htm#.U7lVDvmSwvw

If you don't know about these, feel free to Google them out! :D P.S Nexus Tablet line also gets refreshed annually so yeah it is a definite that new tablet is just round the corner. :)
[Nexus 5 General] DrunkFuX666:
Well if your going to be using a case it doesn't really matter what color you get since the phone and texture will be hidden anyway. I personally don't like the white one at all. And since I use the phone naked... The soft rubber is excellent for grip. BUT if you use a sticker like dbrand or or something with the nexus cutout, then a contrast works out great. So it basically comes down to personal preference, but I think market value is more in pak for the white one.

Secondly, as already mentioned, the next Nexus phone will also be announced with the Nexus 8 tablet... It has been confirmed by Sundar that the Nexus line will not be terminated. Yes Android Silver is coming, its actually already here, but that one subsidized phone will be coming as well. But I think the next gen nexus won't have the 805 processor so its not going to really be some crazy upgrade in my opinion. It will be a 801 most likely so no big deal. I dont think I'll upgrade myself unless they add more ram or something drastic. Tho they saying there is a 30% increase in battery life for the N5 with L release which if true will be amazing...

Okay I'm buying Nexus 5 now but the question is, Go for the D821 or D820 ?

I think there shouldn't be a problem with d820 bands in Pakistan or are there any ?
[Nexus 5 General] mzr7:
If you want to use lte that won't work in Pakistan with 820. 3g will work fine with 821 3g and 4g both will work.
[Nexus 5 General] kamilmirza:
i would suggest to go for D821

i have used 3G on D820 with no issues though

Hey guys... Have android wear watches come to pak yet... Was wondering how much they selling there for...

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] Xami:
We all know that after short period of nexus 5 release Google announced some refinements to the speaker grill and earpiece I guess and some other which I don't remember now.

As I wanna be sure that I buy the right Nexus 5 which is refined one so I would like to know the method to identify from the box that wether the nexus box I'm holding is refined or it's an old unit. a serial code or something that'd tell...

Homeshopping is out of stock till after EID and I plan to buy before EID so probably I have to buy from a shop
[Nexus 5 General] aeoveu:
See the serial number on the box - that gives it away, I think. Most likely, you'll get the newer stock.
[Nexus 5 General] Xami:
Anyone know where I can get dbrand skins in Pakistan ?
[Nexus 5 General] DrunkFuX666:
I had posted this regarding the issues about 5 pages back for someone else... Should have the answer your looking for...

Volume rocker issue was fixed after the 403k phones... But the power button can still be wobbly , but can be easily fixed by putting a small piece of finely cut paper in the slot, best to use a "postit" piece of paper. Or you can open it up and fix it from the inside, which I dont think is needed.

But remember, when you buy in pak, you won't know what batch the phone is from without checking the serial number and all... They do tend to have old stock they try to sell out. I have had to RMA my phone about 3 times, so I used a 311k, a 401k, a 403k and now am using a 404k which is the best so far, but the screen has some slight light bleed, but I'll live with it as its better than the others.

As for color, I would definitely suggest the black due to the rubberized back which gives excellent grip, IF you plan to use the phone naked. Otherwise you can get the white even, or red for that matter. And again, IF you plan to mod your phone and all that good stuff, keep in mind that a single nandroid backup takes 3-4gb or space... So out of 16gb, you only have access to about 10gb... Of those you will lose 4gb to a backup... Your left with 6gb for all games and downloads and music, pics etc... So I would never opt for the 16gb since it can't be expanded...

Places to buy in Lahore I can't really comment on since I dont know Lahore. I will urge you to ask anyone coming from the US or UK or any place where the official Google Play store you can order the phone, because the 1 year warranty Is priceless. You can RMA a phone whenever you want for whatever reason.

As for the serial number, its written on the sticker on the box. Not the IMEI, but the S/N. Its always 3 digits followed by a K, which in the current case is either 31*K or 40*K. What it signifies is the manufacture date. The first digit is the year, so 3 means 2013, 4 means 2014. Second and third digits mean the Month. So since the phone launched in November, 2013, all the first batch phones were 311K, which is the first phone I got which had a messed up GPS Module. Now as you can calculate, the newest manufactured phones are 406K, which is June 2014. My current phone is a 404K, which means was made In April 2014.

There was a hardware overhaul in Jan or Feb which made the speaker and mic holes bigger and fixed the volume rocker wobble, so in other words, phones 402K and above should have fixed button wobble.

But again this us just a guild line.

As for if I still love the phone, I do like it a lot... Not a fan of the battery life tho... But I'm trying to get a Oppo One+1 at the moment... 64gb for 35k with a 801 processor and 3gb ram... Count Me in...!!

As for dbrand in pak... Sorry I can't help you out there...

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] Xami:
WOW Really thanks a lot. I myself have not decided between OPO (1+1) and Nexus 5. as OPO doesn't have OIS and it's pretty big.

I tried so very hard but sadly I have no one coming from either UK or US. As for the wobble I don't care much. I had Nexus 5 for 3 days when it was just released (s5 nowadays) from a Google student ambassador here in Pakistan for review for just 4 days and the main issue I had was earpiece. listening to skype, phone calls etc. was hell for ears literally and I guess (and hope) it's fixed in 402k above phones. I was already going for black and about storage I really think I will be ok with 16GB as I already have some experience with 16 GB SI SII SIII all used on custom without micro SD and with and without nandroids. and budget is somewhat counting reason for not buying 16 GB but truly I will have N5 till iPhone 6 is released so it's not a big deal.

EDIT: What do you mean by Light bleed ?

EDIT 2: I'd love to have your opinion on whether I should buy N5 or OPO

If you can get me from Google Play by any means (IFF POSSIBLE) then I'd appreciate it much.
[Nexus 5 General] DrunkFuX666:
That's strange... I RMAd my phone 3 times and none of them had any speaker problems...

As for getting the phone for you, its not buying thats the issue, its getting it to you in pak... I currently don't know anyone coming there... And if I'm to mail it, then the shipping and duty will get pretty high...

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] Xami:
Well that's sad and about erpiece stinging I saw that it was a software glitch. As I said I had it right after the release. well duty is what is the problem.

Thanks anyway :D

[Nexus 5 General] kamilmirza:

I think DrunkFux666 mentioned something about the specific Google Play lot serial numbers, few posts back
[Nexus 5 General] Xami:

So I was just able to order the Oppo oneplus one... Its unbelievable that that phone with such high end specs with 64gb memory can cost 370 inclusive of tax and shipping... Mind boggling...

Having said that... Today I received my Tempered Glass screen protector for my N5... Have any of you tried it...?? If not... I gotta tell you... Its simply amazing... The clarity and smoothness of the screen is as if its the original glass... Tho more expensive than the regular screen protectors... I think its worth the extra money because your always looking at it and touching it, so it should look great and respond great...

Highly recommend you guys try them out, regardless of the slightly higher price...

I think we should merge the Indian nexus 5 thread & this thread... India aur Pakistan bhai bhai??
[Nexus 5 General] DrunkFuX666:
We actually could do that... In terms of being brother nations for sure... The only reason why it kinda needs to be separate is to answer local related questions like where to find certain accessories or products in specific parts of Pakistan... If it were to be a mixed Ind and Pak thread then it will be a lot more difficult scrolling through and finding info more relevant to your country.

Not to mention You guys are fortunate enough to have a proper Google Play store and other places where you can directly purchase from Google and get many other official products... Unfortunately were lagging far behind in availability of many of them :(

But definitely great to see you here... And your most welcome to come by and drop your comments any time and tell your friends to as well... Us subcontinent folk need to stick together ;)

And on that note... What ROM do you suggest and any plans to upgrade the phone anytime soon...?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] Venomous Viper 119:
I personally prefer stock+xposed. But currently I'm on CM11 because of some of the themes I love. And also because of the USB OTG support out of the box. If you want to try a feature packed ROM, I'd suggest you the SOKP & CM11 official ROMs. I've tried many, many ROMs & they either lag a bit or are not of my taste. If you want the fastest other than stock, IMO you must try pa.

I don't have any plan of upgrading soon cause this is a darn awesome phone that'll always get the latest & the greatest android. Also the development for this device will be awesome. I'm waiting for Project Ara devices to come out. I think my next phone will be a Project Ara variant. And if you're planning to upgrade, I suggest you to wait. According to me, other than the nexus 5, the other better phones out there are the one plus one & the HTC one m8. But upgrading to these devices currently is not worth as 2 gigs of ram is more than enough to run any game out there. And also, even if you do upgrade, there's hardly any noticeable performance difference between 800 soc, 801 & the 805. But you may get a better battery life, that's all. I suggest you to flash the elemental x kernel. It's the best according to me. Hope I helped?.
[Nexus 5 General] DrunkFuX666:
Wasn't really looking for help... Just good to hear other opinions ;)

I've tried all the major player ROMs including everything you mentioned and the kernels... My favorite by far has always been PACman, but due to its loads of bugs about 2 months back, I moved to slimroms and have been on it since... This was when all the ROMs based on CM11 were having insane Memory leaks... Decided to just stick to it because it has remained stable since I started using it... Plus have gotten very used to the small font due to the changed DPI... I know I can do that with any ROM, but I prefer to stay as simple as possible on a ROM.

Speaking of which I dont like PA due to the way you have no options to modify anything... If you actually do an action then it tells you you can change up the action. I like to be able to see all the available options and turn on or keep off what I want.

Apart from this... I agree with what your saying about no real point upgrading "except for battery life"... And for me that has become the most important thing with these smartphones... The nexus 5 has terrible battery life...

I'm just waiting for the new nexus to see if they increase the battery size to like 3000mah which seems to be becoming the standard now... Otherwise I'll get another OnePlus One... The first phone with the 805 or 806 I'm thinking will be the Galaxy S6... Let's see...

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] Venomous Viper 119:
You can get a lime fuel battery case for about 70 to 80$ from amazon.. It's a 3000mAh battery case (like a bump case) & your phone should last a day coupled with it. I think the Galaxy S5 LTE-A already has the 805 soc. As for the small icons on slim, you can change the DPI (you might already know) to 480 in the build.prop.
[Nexus 5 General] DrunkFuX666:
I dont like those battery cases because they are very phone specific and add considerable weight and bulk to the phone... I have a Anker 13,000mah external battery pack I use instead... Can use for any device since its universal.

And I know you can change the DPI but I generally don't do that... Just stick with the ROMs stock DPI to avoid excessive bugs.

Word just come out that the nexus 6 will have the 805 as well... And the note 4 expected to have it too...

Sent from my Nexus 5

Nexus 5 (D820) 3G/3G+ Not working

Hello folks,

i have Nexus 5 (D820 16GB) using from last two days my carrier is Mobilink . issue is only edge is working No 3G/H+ is working on it.. help please (Please note 3G is working on other mobiles in same Area)

tried everything but no luck

currently i am on 5.0.1 Rom.
[Nexus 5 General] omer7:
If it's working on other phones in the same area, it should work on n5 too.

Also check "preferred network type" in settings, see if 3g is selected there or not?

Go to settings - More - Mobile networks - preferred network type
[Nexus 5 General] djnomi:
Did everything not working (Edge only when i select WCDMA only than signal goes offline) i think it is something to do with D820 or 821 Band ... although i own D820
[Nexus 5 General] omer7:
No idea about that. I m using n4. May be someone using n5 can help.
[Nexus 5 General] DrunkFuX666:
That's the problem... You have the D820... That is meant for North American networks, hence not working there. The D821 is for international networks. As far as I know there is no way to change the bands via a software/firmware update. You have to get the phone specific to your region.
