[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markus00000:
The distortion heavily depends on the type of music played. People who don't hear distortions may either have a functioning speaker or just haven't listened to any affected music yet.

I've tested two Nexus 5. Some tracks cracked with the volume set to just 1/3. The equalizer was disabled. Switching music players made no difference.

I'd post a recording of the cracking for those who can't reproduce it and a list of freely available tracks which trigger the cracking, but I'm not allowed to post external links.

To give you one affected track: Search Jamendo.com or Google for "JENFI Sri Lanka" and listen to it on your Nexus 5 and another device.

There's a reddit post which lists many more affected tracks and links to a recording of the cracking. It's posted in /r/Nexus5 and titled "Can your Nexus 5 play this music through the speaker without cracking noises? Tested two devices and they could not."

(Maybe someone who is allowed to post external links wants to link some of the affected tracks and the recording here?)

Does your speakers buzz by songs with more bass? It sounds like the subwoofer is vibrating....

Here a short video of the issue!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markus00000:
I'd say that in my case it can't be reduced to the amount of bass. It seems to be more about the frequencies. In the recording I did (see my post above to find it as I can't link externally) there's not a lot of bass. Compared to your recording, it sounds less like something is vibrating but rather that the output is already distorted and cracking.

Have you listened to my recording and if so, do you also think that it sounds different from yours?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberScopes:
Is this all from the first batch of nexus 5's? Im pretty sure the nexus 4 also had lots of problems in the first batch, but they got better. Could this be a problem specific to the first batch?

I dont really know myself but its a good guess.

Replacement on way

Had enough of my white 32GB's terrible sound quality. Distortion is so bad when trying to talk to someone on speakerphone that I cannot understand what they are saying. Google are now sending me a replacement so let's see if this is any better.....if not time to find a new phone which would be a real shame.

Funny thing, you've got to check it out:

Listen to a loud ringtone via Zedge application, it will be sounds pretty good.

Now download it and pick it as a ringtone via the sound settings, it will be sound horrible!!!!!!

Anybody know something new about the "Google update"?

Same here, transparency not working
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Uninstall any mods you have installed and then re-install xposed.

Download one mod which you know works, like gravity box.

Then activate it by checking the box within modules.

Then go to framework and click install/update.

Then click reboot and allow it to restart the phone.

Once rebooted, click on gravity box and it should allow you in, if it does then youre golden.

If this doesn't work then you may want to check if you've rooted your phone correctly and you granted superuser access to Xposed in the first place, if that is the problem then force stop xposed and go to super user (the app) and remove xposed from the list, then re open xposed and grant it access for all time.

Should do the trick.

Once it's working, you're free to redownload all the mods you like.

Also sounds like you may have reinstalled Xposed from titanium, remove xposed using titanium and wipe data for the xposed app also in titanium, then reinstall xposed from scratch, also remove any mods that you may have before doing this too.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky0308:
Transparencie doesn't work (on stock launcher, try Nova) but other things are working great.

I always hated Xposed but I must admit - it's great on Z1.

CRT animation screen off, advanced power menu, disable stupid mobile data warning.

Awesome apk :)

You could take systemUI from ROM that have transparent status and nav bar and simple use that systemUI.apk.

Just say tnx to developer.

how do the buttons feel? do the metallic buttons have any play? When you press them, can you feel the actual click of the button?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tkoreaper:
I bought a neo hybrid case for a different phone about a year ago and while it did make the phone look great, it didn't last very long. The case was two pieces... A tpu case and a plastic frame that went over that to secure the tpu to the device. I'm not sure if this case for the N5 works in the same way so I'm hesitant to buy it. What ended up happening to my old case is the plastic frame eventually broke and I'm hoping that won't be the case for this one. Can you tell me if this may be a problem with this one too?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ethantarheels123:
my guess is that as long as you don't constantly take it off and on and put any unnecessary stress on the plastic frame, it should be fine and last at least a year.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] RayLancer:
They did fix it for the Galaxy S4 with a revision (the area around the port charger) since the plastic is thinnest there. This one... doesn't look like they attempted on preventing the same issue.

http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb41/*****bekewl/20130805_184654_zpsaa4da036.jpg

Again I want this case too. I love how it looks. But I already own 2 for the 2 Galaxy S4, one which had the area snapped around the port charger, and both had their paint finish starting to bubble and peel.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sn0warmy:
Looks great! I've got my Neo Hybrid case sitting on the counter in the packaging, waiting for my Nexus 5 to arrive Thursday. It's gonna be a long 3 days of waiting.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] iFalcon:
I find the case uncomfortable to hold. Edges dig into the hands a little. I received the fix from I case also and it fit perfect and follows the phone contours better. Just my opinion though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zephiK:
Buttons feel good, it has that 'tick' to it. A bit sensitive on the power button side, but it doesn't accidently get pressed on. Just doesn't require a lot of effort to push it in.

I wasn't sure what to say because this phone is bigger but yeah it doesn't offer much grip.

In terms of it holding up, I sure hope that it does, I saw that they had a 90-day warranty on the case so we'll see what happens. The back doesn't leave any fingerprints. I will say this for sure, the phone feels REALLY REALLY REALLY good without a case on.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Enhanced:
Damn, that looks great. Almost looks like no case is on there and those buttons, man do I want to push them.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zephiK:
If you had a Nexus 4 and the official LG bumper, the buttons on the case is pretty much very similar to that.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] :
Made a short preview of the Neo Hybrid if you guys are interested:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvRrr1mC12c&feature=youtu.be
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sn0warmy:
Yeah, this is why I'm so excited about the Neo Hybrid with the silver edging. I love the look and feel of the official LG bumper on my nexus 4 and was hoping to replicate it with the Nexus 5. The Neo Hybrid is EXACTLY what I've been looking for.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zephiK:
Its exactly what it is and has more protection with the extra piece inside. From what I can tell (im charging the phone right now) it doesnt touch the outer piece or cause any pressure to it. Theres a gap between them (very minor but enough that it doesnt pressure it).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sn0warmy:
I'm not sure I am following. The back of the phone doesn't touch the inside backing of the case? Or are you saying the case button covers don't pressue the phone's buttons?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndrewJohansen:
I can't decide, the black slate looks gun metal blue-ish thesilver looks very good too.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gsrrr:
I hope they will sell just the frame for the N5 by itself like they do for the S4 in the near future.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Watcher07:
Yep, my pinky usually curves around the bottom near the charging port while I'm holding my phone to give a more sturdy grip and this case is not friendly with their design at the charging port, the sharp edges dig into my finger. REALLY love the way this looks, but being able to use my phone in a practical manner and with minimal pain is more important. I like the look of the official black bumper case, so going case-less until they get those released.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] CoCoGirl886:
To those who have installed the case already.. is there an ideal way to put it on? I lined up the buttons first and then put in the 3rd corner. I am afraid of applying pressure to push the last corner in because it feels like it may snap at any time :(.

Finally got my Nexus 5 in the mail at 2pm today. Immediately put it in the Neo Hybrid case with the silver finish and absolutely love it. For once I might have picked the right case right off the bat instead of going through 7+ cases like I did with my Nexus 4 before resorting back tot he LG bumper. This is my first Neo Hybrid case and I am a BIG fan now.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] ahfunaki:
I have this case for my S4 and love it. I decided to go with the Slim Armor for the Nexus because:

a) the only dark color they make the Neo Hybrid in is "Metal Slate" which is a dark blueish color. It matches the color of the S4 great, but I really want a black trim ring for the Nexus.

b) Along the same lines as the blue not matching the black of the Nexus, the Neo Hybrid has chrome buttons. For the S4, not a big deal because it has metal trim. On a completely black Nexus, I'd really like black buttons.

So the Slim Armor has both a matte black back, and black buttons. I hope it doesn't bulk up the phone too much though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] RayLancer:
Alright for people with the Neo Hybrid and Slim Armor. By the audio port and cable cutouts, are there any visible gap between the phone and the case itself? I love the Ultra Hybrid but I just realized how much gap there is (since the phone is curved and the case is flat) that stuff can get stuck in there...

[Nexus 5 Accessories] HelloGQ:
This is the best looking case I've seen but the two problems you described are exactly why I did not buy it. One drop and the frame will snap rendering the case useless. Painted plastic will peel 100%. Paint peeling will be an issue for the slim armor as well.

Good case, but...

I have the Slate version and think it looks great on my new Nexus. No prior experience with these cases, but the look caught my eye and the fit/finish is very good. I thought the outer band was actually metal when I first ordered it, but soon realized my error and hope the plastic is sturdy enough to handle an impact without breaking. The buttons look nice and work well and I really like the protection for the back camera, given it protrudes from the back.

My biggest complaint is that the back is quite slippery and can't be gripped by your hand as well as the actual phone back. For that reason alone, I'll probably replace it with a black TPU case from Google, once they're finally released, since I've nearly dropped it several times already.

Another complaint is that some charging cables won't work because of the metal frame around the USB port, but an x-acto knife can trim the cable and fix this. There's probably a similar issue with some headphone plugs, though I rely on BT and haven't encountered a problem with it myself.

Someone asked about wireless charging... I picked up a DT-900 Nokia Wireless Charging Plate from a local AT&T store for $24.50 (half what Amazon wanted!) and it charges fine with the case on, so no worries there.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] del4:
