OTA don't download via mobile data because they are very big files and if there is interruption, there is a chance of file corruption. The only other way you can maybe download is to download it to a computer using your mobile phone as a hotspot/tethering and then flash the update manually...

Generally once you have installed custom recovery you will no longer get OTA, tho yes you can easily find all this info on XDA or Google as mentioned...
[Nexus 5 General] Gablu:
In pakistan Voice is only over 2g. No VoLTE is launched in Pakistan yet. As far as your problem is concerned, it seems that your phone is not properly switching its networks when needed. Try installing custom ROM.

guys i flashed CM13 on my nexus 5 and now im thinking of installing a new kernel as well. Can anyone suggest which is the best kernel for CM-13 nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] kamilmirza:
there is no best in ROMs and Kernels anywhere

it all depends on YOUR preference

you have to try them yourself

[Nexus 5 General] omgbuffguy:
nah got mine from the playstore 32gb white :D
[Nexus 5 General] EnDSK:
lol I took a chance with the order.

So far so good

I might be getting it next Tuesday provided that my friend gets it by Monday.

They actually shipped the phone on 11th November with the actual shipping date being 26th :D
[Nexus 5 General] DrunkFuX666:
Nice... Tho make sure your friend checks the screen for dead/stuck pixels... Lots of people complaining about it... Will be a pain sending the phone back and going thru the RMA process like i had to with the N4...
[Nexus 5 General] Netuser:
And can you kindly tell me where do you get a N5 for 38K ? Because I am in Canada and with tax and shipping it comes to 420 dollars for 16Gb which is about 44K. Now you add shipping charges to Pakistan + custom duty or bribe lol it will easily cost 52+.

So what price do you want them to sell phone at ? Or you think they are Satar Eidy and should give phone cheaper then what it cost them ?

I know 60K seem very expensive but you should take in account all elements before doing calculation.

I am not even talking about 4-5 weeks wait time and people selling them inside US/Canada on eBay for +550 dollars
[Nexus 5 General] DrunkFuX666:
Well its not our fault you ended up in Canada... Aka wannabe America... Lol... Jk

The taxes in Canada are through the roof... I had gotten my N4 16gb from canada since it was the quickest way to get to Pak with someone and it cost me $422 to be exact including shipping and taxes ... While the exact same thing in the U.S cost a bit less than $379 including tax and shipping... So there is a clear difference of more than $40 in the US and Canada...

Now when your talking about shipping to pak and bribe and what not... I really don't take into consideration that someone is that desperate or has no friends that they will need to ship it all the way to pak via courier... 90% people can buy it there and get it brought here... Tho they may need to wait a while...

And please don't get into the HSN are hero's debate here... By all means one can/should make a profit... But daylight robbery is ridiculous... thats more than 15k profit per phone... Even if you keep duty and shipping etc in the cost price...

You may have also notices the sudden drop in the price from 70k to 60 in 2 weeks... Because they were trying to milk the public but no one was biting at that price... Just by that you see how HUGE a margin they kept this time around...

But anyway... To each their own... If you have that kind of money to waste... So be it...
[Nexus 5 General] EnDSK:
I haven't told him to open it.

Wanted to open the seal myself :p

here's to hoping there are no issues

what are dead pixels btw? how noticeable are they?
[Nexus 5 General] omgbuffguy:
A pixel on your screen which does not perform as expected or doesnt work. So basically a white (or black usually) pin point dot on your screen which doesnt change with the rest of the background. So its just there. It could be small (like a needle point) or big (that would suck).

As for the noticeable part, depends where it is and how big is it. Average consumer wont really get bugged by one pixel not working especially if its in the periphery. But a hardcore user, it will be annoying as hell. Google dead pixels to have an idea.

I would recommend you telling your friend to open it and check it using a display tester. And then RMA if need be.

Goodluck!
[Nexus 5 General] DrunkFuX666:
Haha... I understand... Normally every guy wants to take its new products virginity :P lol

Anyway... Dead pixels are when some of the pixels on the screen don't work/turn on... Meaning there will be a black small dot on the screen somewhere... Always...

Because this screen has a very high PPI, 440+, theres a higher possibility for pixels to be dead... Tho there shouldn't... But lots of people seem to be reporting it...

Now how noticeable it is really depends on where the pixel is located or your personal preference if it bothers you... So... Its really your call ;)
[Nexus 5 General] EnDSK:

Nexus 5 google play store issue

okay, this is my last hope, my nexus 5 got here 2 dayz ago ( uncle brought it from USA)

and i have not been able to use the play store or any google app, google play store says "connection error" on wifi, but works perfectly fine on edge and on wifi if i enable hotspot sheild on my device

i have tried every method that i could possibly find online, this is what i have tried

1. factory restore / data wipe

2. clear cache / clear data of google play app

3. change security settigns on wifi

4. removed all security settings in wifi

5. upgraded to 4.4.2

any help would be appreciated
[Nexus 5 General] DrunkFuX666:
Flash the factory image again... Just download the latest one... Extract it... And run the flash all file... Of course you will need to do it via fastboot, not recovery...

black or white?

ive got a friend coming from the states and ive asked her to bring me the nexus 5 16gb. i cant decide what color i should get. please help me out. and if anyone can post pictures of both colors with screen OFF id be really grateful as i was unable to find it with screen off on google. also, do you guys think rs40000 could be better spent on another phone? is nexus 5 worth the stretch from my 35k range or should i buy the nexus 4?
[Nexus 5 General] Osaab:
..another thing

can anyone explain to me why optimus g and optimus g pro are available for so cheap (below 30k) on olx and saddar market? thanks
[Nexus 5 General] Sc0rp10:
Nexus 5 is the best possible phone for that money.
[Nexus 5 General] DrunkFuX666:
The nexus 5 is definately far better than the nexus 4, and iv had both phones so I can vouch for that the 5 is better on every front than the 4 except the look of the nexus 4 with the glass back looked alot better... But the feel of the nexus 5 is better than the 4, especially the light weight and curved back and Slanted sides, and since its available in 32gb that's a huugggeee advantage over the limited nexus 4 16gb.

As for the look if the phone with screen off, there are plenty pics online I seen them myself... The black is completely black on the front... The white is also Completely black on the front EXCEPT the earpiece which is a white mesh, and a very slight white rim on the outside. I went with black because the black has the soft touch rubber back while the n4 is a grained plastic rather than rubber... But I've read some people say the white gives better grip.

As for the low price of the optimus G and G pro is because they are LG... There is no market for LG or Motorola phones in Pakistan especially for resale... Even the LG G2 which is new and considered to be amazing you can get it for about 50 which is cheaper than other brands of lower spec phones...

Hey guys. I just bought my aunt a N5 and she is headed back to Karachi next week with the phone. She wanted to know, I as well, is there any way to track a phone if it gets stolen over there? If the N5 gets stolen.
[Nexus 5 General] Lowresolution:
Got a Spigen Slim Armour Case + Screen protector from Sadar Karachi !

They also got some rubber / leather pouches for the phone in stock as well. The shop is to the right of Bawany Mobiles @ Sadar
[Nexus 5 General] DrunkFuX666:
There are 2 sides to this coin and question your asking... One good one bad.

The good is you can definately track your phone natively via DeviceManager as long as you turn the feature on before its stolen... And your gps should be on. Secondly, it can only be tracked provided its getting some sort of data connection, be it wifi or gprs.

There are othet apps which are on the app store that if for example you sms certain things like "locate my droid" it will sms you back the coordinates of the phone.

Now for the bad side... Do NOT expect that you can go to the police and tell them Hey look my phone was stolen and its right here, its being tracked plz go get it. They will NOT help you... 99% of the time they will say, ok if you know where it is, then go get it yourself. And ofcourse your not going to go get it yourself. Not to mention once the phone is turned off then you lose all types of communication with it.

So yea... Losing a phone a karachi means its gone forever...

Oh your talking about the shop where those bearded brothers are... Irfan and Imran...? Really nice guys... Good to know they got stuff for the N5... They Barely got anything for the N4...

That's the problem with LG and Motorola phones... Noone bothers getting accessories for it since they are not running brands in pak...

NOTE: I LOVE MY NEXUS 5 AND ITS THE BEST PHONE IN THE HISTORY........
[Nexus 5 General] DrunkFuX666:
"Much" better than the note3? I havnt been able to use both of them to compare side by side, but I would think if you can install cm11 on the note, then the 3gb ram should put the phones at par at least... Obviously stock touchwiz and all the bloatware will give it bad performance, but I would like to think custom ROMs would really make it shine...

[Nexus 5 General] DrunkFuX666:
Sure I'll send it but first I just want to make it clear, if anyone is interested then please don't expect that the price on the play store is $49.99 so that's how much it will cost you. No. It will add tax and shipping that Google will add... Then further shipping cost to Pakistan... Then further duty charges... So please expect you will need to pay maybe around 9000 for the wireless charger, could be more, could be less... not just 5000 tho that's for sure...

Yes, one of the big issues with LG Nexus phones (both N4 and N5), that it throttles at battery temperature and it starts at a very low temp, low esp for countries like ours where weather gets so hot and phone quickly reaches throttling temp.

I have N4 and this throttling is a big concern for me too. But one can overcome this by using some custom kernel.

OR

I m using a modified thermald.conf (in Nexus 4) to increase the battery temp b4 throttling starts. In n4 even GPU starts throttling as well (not sure abt n5 tho). But i have removed GPU throttling in modified thermald.conf file and CPU throttling starts at 42C battery temp as opposed to 37C batt temp in stock settings.

But these r nexus 4 settings, not sure at what temp throttling starts in n5.

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------
[Nexus 5 General] kamilmirza:
hmm but it's still hot with our country's temperature :D

my device stays at 45-55° at normal usage, what will happen in summer worries me most :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] omer7:
45 - 55 is a bit hotter on normal usage i think. Do u play games ( heavy games), coz until i play some heavy game my phone battery temp nvr goes beyond 39/40C.

And yeah in summer even 42 C seems less for throttling, but my main concern was GPU throttling which i have removed, so CPU throttling even if starts at 42C (in my modified file) would b fine for me, coz i dont play games for a long time. Max temp so far i have seen on my device is 45 to 46 C (battery temperature), so by the time my phone reaches 42 to 45 C, i m already done playing that game ?
[Nexus 5 General] kamilmirza:
I was talking about CPU temp from the start :laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] omer7:
Haha. And i was talking about battery temperature from the start ?
[Nexus 5 General] kamilmirza:
so what's your CPU temperature at normal use?
[Nexus 5 General] Punkid:
Cpu temp is the main culprit. Battery temp doesn't matter really . mine jumps to 70 C after some Real Racing 3
[Nexus 5 General] kamilmirza:
yes and I wasn't talking about battery temperature:rolleyes:

yeah same here and normally stays at 40-55°
[Nexus 5 General] omer7:
I didnt bother about CPU temp much, so didnt use to note it. But i ll observe it now for u and let u know.

Cpu temp is almost 7-10C more than battery temp at my end. So my battery temp in this hot weather goes to 36-38C at normal usage (when playing no game or heavy game). So cpu temp should be around 45-50C on normal usage (but this is only guess), since never noticed it much.

Coz in n4 stock kernel throttling takes on battery temp so i m more concerned about battery temp than CPU temp.

See in screenshot, battery temp is 35C and CPU temp is 43C
