I have been wondering about this myself. I'll need a longer drive to get better data (an hour would be good), but here is what I got from my drive to work this morning. I set the phone up so it would be using close to maximum power.

Conditions:

Charger: http://amzn.com/B00F9H1HZ6 Jumbl Qi Wireless Car Charging Kit

screen brightness = 100%

Google Navigation on and actively guiding me

LTE connection for 99% of my drive

Bluetooth on and connected to my car radio

Drive time = 23 minutes

Battery % increase = 2% (from 70% - 72%)

The main thing for me is it does charge the phone even with the screen brightness maxed out and GPS running. A slow discharge would not be acceptable.

I just received one of the fake Google Orbs from China. Looks identical to the real one but without the branding. Has 3 LEDs on it red, green, and blue. I'm going to test it out over the next few days to see how it charges. So far it seems to be doing ok. Getting about 5-600 mA and 20% an hour, but I'l check the log when I do a full charge. Not sure if it trickle charges, it gets to a 100% but doesn't seem to drop in % but the phone stays cool. I read somewhere that you shouldn't have to worry about overcharging with the N5 but not sure if that's true. Overall for $25, not bad so far.

Don't think the Nexus One had POGO pins on it, only Sammy products if memory serves but am open to correction.

**Edit**

Actually I found a picture with them on the bottom, so yeah, you're right. Thought they were a Sammy only thing but guess not.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] mtucker:
No problems with the side clamps hitting buttons. There is roughly 1cm between the left clamp and the lower volume button. About the same on the back side between the protruding camera circle and the back plate of the Qi charger. This is with the height adjustment most of the way up, but I adjusted height for maximum input current to the charger. So even if your sweet spot is a little different, 1cm should give plenty of wiggle room.

I took this picture with the ignition off so it is not charging. After using this for a few days, I find the blue LED on the left clamp handy for confirming charging status..... it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling that all is well even if the screen is off and I can't see the battery/charge indicator on the phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Ben36:
Awesome! Thanks!

Dual qi charger with top up

Folks, any of the dual chargers continue topping up the phone? Also perhaps one that charges both at the same time?

I see the panasonic stops charging at 100%, but that'd mean I'd be picking it up after 6 hours having run down a bunch. Or does it flip back on after the phone is at a certain %?

Looking for one that keeps turning back on to keep both devices topped up.

I'm using Spigen Neo Hybrid with Nexus 5 and Nexus 4 Orb charger with success.

Found a short video posted by the iOttie guys. Doesn't really show off the product like I had hoped but they do mention the price will be around $50-60. That's certainly within the price range I was anticipating. Hopefully, they will include at least a 2 amp car charger that can keep up the load when you're pushing your device to the max.

The Qi charger mount will be available "Q1 of 2014".

[Nexus 5 Accessories] andy o:
I've also been searching for this one in the past days, but I just realized I had it wrong. I thought there was a release button that opened the arms, and that then the button in the center closed them. But seeing the other Easy Flex mounts, it appears that you have to pry them open manually? There's not much information in the pdf at the iOttie website, but that can also be inferred from the little that is. If so, then this is no better, and probably worse, than other existing mounts that are the opposite, you manually close them and the button opens the arms.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mtucker:
After having this for a few weeks and going on a long drive (San Diego to Vegas) here are a few things I have noticed.

It loses charge ever so slowly when the phone is mostly charged and running screen on /GPS.

I know it charges well with the battery low and running full brightness/GPS going/BT connected so I am guessing this is only a problem when the battery is in its constant voltage phase of charging (roughly when the battery is 90% or higher).

It produces a little electrical noise. I am a ham radio operator and was talking on 146.880MHz and noticed noise that is not normally there. I pulled the USB cable to the charger and the noise went away. I have not confirmed if the noise is caused by the switching power supply in the USB/cigarette adapter that it came with or the charger itself. I am guessing it is the charger. I then tried FM radio. If the station is on the edge (a little scratchy) then charging will add more noise. If the station is fairly strong, then charging doesn't cause problems.

Although I will keep my eyes out for a different Qi car charger, overall the C1 charger is still a decent unit. It was so darn convenient to hop in my truck, pull up maps, and not have to think about plugging a cable in. Even though the battery life on the Nexus 5 is less than my Note 2, I find that the Nexus winds up with more battery at the end of the day because Qi charging is so convenient.

[MENTION=244841]AndyCr15[/MENTION] , given that you - like me - are based in the UK (I've seen your Overclockers UK posts and your 'AndroidAndyUK' YouTube videos), have you considered the Ruix HS-Q8 for a Qi wireless charger and power bank combination?

It seems to be the TX-5600 / TX-5608 standard Chinese model, but with a slightly different model number and a capacity somewhere between 8,000mAh and 12,000mAh.

The cheapest price seems to be £20 and Fulfilled by Amazon:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ruix-HS-Q8-10000mAh-External-pad-White/dp/B00F7L6380/

Also, based on your poor experience with the Nokia CR-200 (which has now been superseded by the CR-201, but presumably with the Qi receiver still optimally positioned for Nokia devices), have you considered the 'C1' standard Chinese Qi car mount?

The cheapest UK model seems to be the SOUNDASIA C1 a.k.a. AM-1 at £34 and Fulfilled by Amazon:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/SOUNDASIA-Rotation-Wireless-Charging-Transmitter/dp/B00F5UZHNA/

More info:

"The provided cigarette/USB adapter is rated for 2.1A. I pulled 2A off

of it with an electronic load and the voltage was well regulated. With

my N5 on the charger, the input current to the charger was about 1.1A

which was promising for a fairly quick charge." - [MENTION=4309526]mtucker[/MENTION]

what about the Nokia DT-910 (not the 900) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009WKGQL6

Tilted, unobtrusive and Qi compatible...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] charesa39:
I read the DT-910 works well. However, I also read that if you have a case that covers all edges of the phone (ie. Spigen Neo-Hybrid or the official Google Bumper Case), the bottom lip of the case raises the phone just out of reach of the coils on the charger, so it won't charge. Now, if you had a slim case like a Ringke Slim that doesn't cover the bottom, then it should work.

This would require Google Play Services 4.0 to be installed, as well as Google Search and Google Home.

Is there a way to add more home screens? Change number of rows/columns? I didn't see it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aohus:
There is no launcher options? It's possible maybe you can't change number of home screens since the settings options for the Launcher menu is baked into the Settings menu of KitKat. (i could be wrong)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgolder:
Big thread including all the new google apk's in the Apps and Themes section.

Just install it and give it a go, it is easy to do and doesn't have to be permanent. If you backup your current homescreen (in your homescreen settings), you defintiely wouldn't lose anything.

I did it, and then just went back to using LG launcher. Takes seconds to do.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
No there are options. You hold on the bottom right of the dock and swipe in. The new widgets and app adding to home screens is there with a settings icon on right. That takes you to a screen with limited options.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgolder:

OK I added a full widget. Then when I try and add another there is a new screen on the right. And looks like another appears when adding widgets or icons. My Bad!

Still a let down...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgolder:
I agree. I found it a let down too. The only thing I can presume is that once 4.4 actually intertwines with it, it will open up a few more options and make it even smoother. I had a litter stuttering on pressing back.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
The only thing 4.4 will bring is transparent status and nav bar. Yeah it may make it smoother but I need to at least shrink those icons a little. They look huge! Maybe with an icon pack, but there's no options for that?

And I like the new search bar but it better work while the device is locked like Moto X or no Bueno.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgolder:
The more I think about it, the less I like the launcher. I was very disappointed with the lack of options. Currently I can see no reason to use that launcher, as presumably once we get our 4.4 update, the clear nav & status bars will be permanent in stock g2 rom anyway, instead of just homescreen. That is what I want most anyway. The lg launcher is surprisingly good.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
Granted it is 100% better than what there was before from Google. For people who don't use launchers it will be great and if its available in the Play store even better. It will get updated I'm sure and can only get better. I'll stick with Apex but can't wait to see where the GEL goes :good:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
I actually said, like a week ago, that one way to really bring the "updated" experience is to just release the Google Launcher just like they did with the keyboard and others. The more they "modulate" Android, the easier people would be able to update bits and pieces, or as a whole. The launcher is really 90% of the experience anyway.

And Google also needs to adapt the CM Tmobile Theme Engine too.

If people can grab the latest Launcher, Keyboard, and other apps, along with the ability to download the latest Theme... boom. I'd stay on 4.0 and probably wouldn't even flash custom roms. They should also throw the Google Lockscreen up on the play store while they are at it.

Knock on is in the kernel. They use the kernel so knock on Will work.

Knock off is different. Its handled with software. The LG Launcher does it currently and the status bar. I don't think either will work on AOSP.

What I do anyway is set my screen off time to 15s.

Some people use nova or alt launcher to setup double tap to launch a 3rd party app that turns the display off.

I actually dislike the Knockoff. I'm half tempted to flash a custom just to break it. I like my double tap to open my app drawer.

[Nexus 5 General] sluflyer06:
Some of you may have read that the Nexus 5 has a new radio feature called Envelope Tracking (ET). There are only 2 phones with this technology the first being the Note 3 and now the Nexus 5.

Highlights

-30% reduced heat output by phone

-20% reduction in radio power consumption

What is it and how?

The most promising technique among the new wave of RF innovations is envelope tracking (ET). This power supply technique replaces fixed dc supply voltage to the RF PA with a very high-bandwidth dynamic supply voltage, which closely tracks the amplitude of the transmitted RF signal. In place of a normal dc-dc converter, an ultra-high-bandwidth power modulator varies the supply voltage going to the PA to track the sample-by-sample variations in amplitude of the modulated carrier.

This significantly reduces the wasted power experienced in traditional fixed supply PAs, which are only energy efficient when they are in compression, at the peaks of the transmitted waveform. Fixed supply PAs lose up to 80% of energy (with OFDM signals) as heat since the supply voltage is far higher than required for most of the time. Tracking the RF signal closely with ET keeps the PA in compression over the whole modulation cycle, instead of just at the peaks as with the fixed supply PAs.
