[Nexus 5 General] anactoraaron:
Sorry about your phone, after all of the anticipation we android lovers have/had over the 5's release this has to be one of the worst feelings in the world to experience. :crying:

But after looking at your second photo submission and seeing the condition of your thumb, you should perhaps always use a case for everything (and wear gloves). :)

You wouldn't happen to work on cars, would you? Either way, that looks like some working hands if I ever saw any. A family member of mine works on/repairs/restores cars and he can't make it through a day without breaking any phone if it doesn't have some kind of protective case on it. He's just unnaturally rough/clumsy with his phones.

Anyways my point is/was that if you work with your hands a lot and have rough hands like that in my experience you will likely be rougher than the average person with your phone. And to everyone else, unless you will baby your new nexus (or any other smartphone) to the point of OCD you should protect your device with a case!
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
Yep..mechanics hands (I've done more knucklebusting than I care to recall). It's not really too surprising, but I've discovered engineers and mechanics prefer Android. Some of the auto/moto fora and folks I hang with are serious Android tablet/phone freaks..tuned me on to Torque app and bluetooth ODB2 connectors, etc.

i've dropped all my nokias dozens of times (in total) on concrete/tile/stone/wood/carpet/pillow :P from various heights (highest being 3 floors) and i've only got chips and scratches in the housings the screens are fine

my nexus 5 just shipped out (leaving nokia behind since im not a WP fan) and i wasn't even considering a protective case but now im a bit wary on the build quality of these devices :/
[Nexus 5 General] supercakefish:
If you're that butterfingers then definitely get a case. Mistakes happen, but some make more than others! How the heck did you manage to drop it from a three storey height? You were beyond lucky there.

When you drop glass onto hard surfaces it cracks or shatters. Unfortunate reality. No matter how much gorilla DNA has been injected into it.
[Nexus 5 General] cswithxda:
I agree with most people: get a case immediately for a new device.

However, I get rid of the case after couple months for two reasons:

1. It makes me aroused again with a device that I'm already tired of (not talking about women here). I feel good again holding a thinner and prettier device - the same device just with the clothes off (not talking about women).

2. If I have to (or not) break it after I take the case off of a 6-month old device, I am motivated and replace it with new device sooner than I should be, which keeps me ahead in the technology world (may be bad for some).
[Nexus 5 General] rg400smarttowel:
That was quick. You are probably the first one to have a cracked screen.
[Nexus 5 General] stylinred:
I always have my phone in my hand (almost never in pockets) and so i guess im extra prone to dropping ;)

My Nokia N8 with its aluminum housing is slippppppery and I was adjusting it in my hand to make a call while in the mall (was leaning on the balcony) and plop out of my hands it went...down to the bottom floor :/

i did that years ago too with my N95 but only from 1 floor

My 808 pureview has been dropped several times too while the housing/screen is fine the camera is a bit buggy now (shutter doesnt always close) etc etc issues

Anyway I guess I will look into a case for the Nexus5 if they're not as sturdy :D

I doubt any phone will survive a several stories fall without a sign of the event, hehe.
[Nexus 5 General] seanroberts196:
Thanks for the concern about my hands, basically i make robot systems and i had a 1/4 ton steel plate drop on my hand but luckily i was holding a hammer so it stopped it crushing my hand and just took the skin off.!
[Nexus 5 General] Nutsonfire:
Lol just launched mine on the floor from the bed while tripping into the headphone cable, no damage. Sorry for your loss...
[Nexus 5 General] seanroberts196:
I too have a N4 that the screen got cracked and is now dead. ( I'm waiting for the price of new screens to drop before i get it fixed !! ) and the touch was dead, but on my N5 it still works perfectly. Hope this helps. ps. get my case tomorrow from ebay so hopefully no more damage
[Nexus 5 General] NissanskylineN1:
You have to be pretty pathetic to break your one day old device...
[Nexus 5 General] cdmoore74:
Maybe we should call OP "Butterfinger".
[Nexus 5 General] seanroberts196:
not like i meant to do it, anyhow got a new one now so all is good in the world :D
[Nexus 5 General] NissanskylineN1:
You paid another $350? RMA won't cover it....
[Nexus 5 General] seanroberts196:
Insurance covered it, reported broke on sunday and replaced on monday with a brand new sealed phone :laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] thekillingtree:
wow, that sucks. i ordered rengke case because i know that i broke the back on my nexus 4 within the first 2 weeks in a similar incident.

phone arrived today and case arrives tomorrow, hopefully i can make it ;)
[Nexus 5 General] [hfm]:
Luck of the draw.. Your phone just landed in the wrong orientation.

I've had my N4 since release and I've dropped it quite a few times on wood and concrete and it's still mint. At least one or two of those was pre ringke slim case. The reason I got the case was the first time I slammed it into the subway turnstile while it was in my pocket.. Figured the back glass needed a little protection from that seeing as I go through them at least twice a day 5 days a week. Bound to happen sometimes.

I doubt I'll be buying a case for the N5 since it's plastic backed again.
[Nexus 5 General] killian17:
Wow ... that's suck =.= will you buy a new one?
[Nexus 5 General] anactoraaron:
Ouch! Glad it wasn't worse.
[Nexus 5 General] MarkGbe:
bad luck? i doubt this device is any more fragile than most other phones out there.
[Nexus 5 General] supercakefish:
In the case of the Nokia 3310, I doubt the floor would survive intact.
[Nexus 5 General] Argenist:
On the plus side, iFixIt gave the Nexus 5 an 8/10 for repairability, guess you just gotta wait for the parts to become readily available.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superfrancy97:
I spent the last two months analyzing and studying kernel sources, driver sources, openFIMG sources... But i can't get how Samsung FIMG and openFIMG works! I want to get Samsung FIMG on the latest Alpha9 (possibly MTD) because IMHO openFIMG are still not good for daily usage, and lot of textures won't show up. At first i tried to compile the whole CM7 removing libsgl and adding samsung proprietary files instead, FAIL, then when i checked out the G3MOD initramfs and i discovered that i needed some module to make the whole thing work i converted my phone back to BML, flashed G3MOD 2.4.1 and then copied samsung proprietary files to /system/lib/egl , gralloc.apollo, copybit.apollo etc... to /system/lib/hw and libChunkAlloc.so to /system/lib, the phone booted but nothing (not even the bootanimation) showed up on the screen. So i checked out the marcellusbe's MTD kernel initramfs and i saw that it had no modules, so after looking the thread i realized that modules in MTD version were in the /system partition, so i checked the system partition and i saw that there was no 3D module!

If someone can point me to the right direction i would be really glad, because i'm really confused right now :confused:

And sorry for bad english.

You desperately need [MENTION=3404423]marcellusbe[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3633911]hillbeast[/MENTION] to help you.

Sent from my DEATH NOTE with Shinigami by my side!
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hillbeast:
Oh dear. There's a lot wrong with what you're trying to do so let me try and explain it as best I can:

Android libraries are not like Windows where you can mix and match drivers to different versions. Every time Google makes a new version of Android, they change how they want to do the graphics drivers. It's really annoying that they do this, but they aren't trying to make a desktop OS, they are making an embedded OS that the phone manufacturer then modifies to get it going on their hardware. This means that drivers for Eclair don't work on Froyo, and drivers for Froyo don't work on Gingerbread, and drivers for GB don't work on ICS. There are hacks and ugly mods you can do to make them kind of work, but basically it doesn't work. If you can get the drivers to work, it's so broken and laggy that you don't want it to be working.

Samsungs FIMG drivers are made for Eclair and Froyo, and that's only because those were the two firmwares Samsung made for the Apollo. Gingerbread did a lot of changes to the graphics subsystem and this basically breaks all compatibility with Froyo drivers

Replacing the OpenFIMG libraries with the Samsung FIMG libraries won't work because the Android frameworks in CM7 were compiled around OpenFIMG. When marcell had it working on Samsung FIMG drivers, he had to modify the interfaces for the graphics libraries that communicates between the Android framework and the hardware specific libaries (OpenFIMG/Samsung FIMG) to make it talk to it the way the Samsung FIMG libraries worked. When he moved to OpenFIMG he would have reverted it back to how Google would want it because OpenFIMG is made for GB/ICS+ and doesn't need this compatibility wrapper.

G3MOD works differently to the CM7 kernel. G3MOD needed to support many different firmwares and many different graphics modes. This means that to make it work on other firmwares, we had to modularise components of it so certain kernel functions were used on certain firmwares. This is why there are modules for G3MOD to work with OpenFIMG and not on other kernels.

Kernel modules are kernel specific. They only work with the kernel they were compiled for. You can't use a G3MOD module on Fugumod and vice versa.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superfrancy97:
Thank you for your answer :laugh: now i eventually understood how graphics driver works. So basically the only way to get proprietary fimg on alpha9 is getting alpha7 sources and apply all the alpha9 patches manually except the ones of openFIMG or i'm still thinking in the wrong way?
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcellusbe:
If it compiles, it could... unfortunately, I lost alpha7 sources and I can't spend (a lot of time) to done it again ...

The other way is to get surfaceflinger, libui (and probably others) libs sources from froyo .. You will have errors when compiling (because of the CRT animations, screenshot implementations in GB) but it's possible to fix the errors.

It works. I currently have cm7 mtd with samsung's fimg libs but now camera need to be fixed, re-implement screenshot and CRT anim and some color problem when rendering pictures.

You asked kernelmtd sources. I will upload them to github today.

edit : sources uploaded here -> https://github.com/sdadier/gb_kernel_2.6.32.9-mtd

Hi ...

well about car mount there is definitely one leader in today's market and it's the MONTAR by WinnerGear ...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Universal-S...ie=UTF8&qid=1383470832&sr=8-1&keywords=montar

It's the best car mount , can be attached to literally ANYTHING include all those curved dashboard ...

I drive on Seat Leon MK1 and the dashboard is a bit curved , tried lots of those eBay cheap ones before and nothing can be compared

to this MONTAR suction cup ( I also wrote more detailed review seversal days ago on this Amazon link I posted above ) ..

So if you really looking for a car mount that will serve you for YEARS and for all devices , this is the one to take .

It's very easy to insert the device with one hand

Hold's its tight and the device won't move .

Suction cup : Absolutely AMAZING

1st been using it with iPhone 5 and today I got Nexus 5 (B-Day gift :good:)

So good luck and don't SMS & DRIVE :laugh:

I'LL SOON ADD A MORE DETAILED PICTURES WITH MY NEXUS 5 INSIDE AND WILL UPDATE THIS POST ..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rosswaa:
Same as the osomount one just rebranded for different countries I guess. awesome car holder suction is insane and hold phone rock solid. No wobbly stuff

http://osomount.com/shop/360-grip-in-car-mount/

Can be had off other sites half the price and best one I have ever used :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] davigol:
ye , I checked it out ...

while this Osomount seems to be the same they are actually different ( the holder itself is different ) the winnergear one is holding the device way better ( lots of reviews on those 2 and the MONTAR always wins ) ...

I'm not sure but it also seems that this osomount tried to copy winnergear product ... any way maybe you right maybe no .. I'll stick with WinnerGear :) as it really seems they are the original ones and as I already learned about the online market pictures can't tell you NOTHING !

Check out this for reference : ( its not a real SPIGEN , trust me I KNOW = I LOST MONEY THERE )

They look exactly the same, the osomount one is awesome, I should know. Its in my car. The section cup sticks to anything and its rock solid with awesome build quality

Iv never seen the 2 compared either
[Nexus 5 Accessories] davigol:
ye , no doubt about the suction . It's something that I cant even describe how good it is :laugh:

Now continue my quest for good car charger ... any suggestions ?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rosswaa:
Its powerful even when you don't press the lever down lol

Nah but that's something I need aswell
[Nexus 5 Accessories] eturk01:
IMHO, the "best" mount will always have power and drop in the phone. Connecting and disconnecting a power cord when in and out of the car is a joke. Having the cord dangling from the phone, our just laying about waiting for the phone, is ugly.

I have a Galaxy Nexus with power and audio always plugged in. It's mounted near the pillar, wires tucked into the trim. Very clean. Drop it in and it's charging and playing to the stereo. Universal mounts can only be the "best universal", never the best for a specific phone.

This topic looks like an advertisement for the universal mount.

I picked up one of these. It is easy to insert and remove the phone. The suction cup grips my dash really well, there is no way this thing is coming loose. The mount is not too large so it does not take up a lot of space on your dash and it is well made.

Here are some photos of the mount with my HTC One. I will post some photos of the Nexus 5 when I get it in soon.

I may have to try that one...thanks!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
Absolutely. The biggest thing I will miss about my Evo LTE is the car dock. Like you said for your Nexus, you just drop it in....screen turns on, connects bluetooth and starts streaming music, loads up a car dock app, and starts charging. All without even needing to touch a button(including needing to turn the screen on) or scanning a nfc tag. I'm thinking of finding a quality qi car charging dock and setting up something with Tasker to auto launch. Without a dedicated function for the Nexus 5 I can't really think of any other way to replicate what I'll be missing. I remember when I bought the dock I thought I would return it thinking it would not be worth keeping.....boy was I wrong.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PsychDrummer:
When I saw this thread I wanted to immediately mention the Aduro mount. I originally was checking out the MONTAR however when I checked out the site the shipping took a very long time, the price was fairly high and I have heard bad reviews from people about never even receiving the product. I saw the Aduro mount and noticed it looked very similar to the Montar. I grabbed it for about half the cost (maybe even less) and I have been using it since April. It stays on great and I only had it come off twice when it got really hot. But considering I've been using it from about april until sept almost daily I think that's pretty damn good. Anyway, I def recommend the Aduro one. (No, I'm not getting paid to say all this. I just really think that especially for the price it's a great deal.) Hopefully I'm not jynxing it haha.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] elementaldragon:
Probably because then you have to fumble around with plugging the cable into your phone while it's on the dock, or plugging the phone in and then putting it on the dock... and it just tends to look a little odd. Though i must say that i'm hoping the magnets in the back panel of the N5 that are used for the Qi wireless charging are decent, or at least not of an opposite polarity, because then using this mount would be a dream.

http://www.amazon.com/Cradle-less-Quick-snap-Technology-Smartphone-Windshield/dp/B008IOQ3K6

Kinda tempted to (when i get paid again) buy a cheapy Qi charging pad on eBay, and rip it apart, to see just how much exactly is inside it, and if it might possibly be able to be rigged up to/into the iMagnet dock somehow. Would be the best of both worlds. A good strong magnetic gripping dash mount that can charge at the same time.... no cables, no phone clamps.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] ianw0000:
Absolutely Agree, I have this on my HTC and I can throw it into the clip with one hand as I an starting the car with the other.

I am busting to buy the Nexus 5, but not until I get a decent mount.

Why can't google make accessories!!!!!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] CheesyPeteza:
Absolutely. I have the exact same setup with my Galaxy Nexus, I loved the official Samsung Car Dock for it.

Unfortunately if you take the Nexus 4 as an example there was never an official car dock released and all the third party car docks were rubbish due to them being universal. So I do not expect that we will get one for the Nexus 5.

I think it's going to require a DIY job. Without the pogo pins it will need a different solution, I guess the only option is wireless charging. For audio it will have to be Bluetooth. I just hope the wireless charging can provide enough current, as screen on full brightness, Bluetooth, GPS, and navigation all take a mighty toll on the battery so you really need the full charging current possible just to stop the phone using more power than it is getting from the charger.

Bought myself an OwlPad. I shall see how it goes.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] youareme7:
I'll be trying out my Infuse 4g car dock with the nexus 5 whenever i receive it; I've been using it with nexus 4 and it's fantastic. The 5 is a bit taller though so i'm unsure if if it will fit although the rubberized corners have some flex so it's possible as long as the microUSB port is in the same orientation and relative position as the nexus 4

Has anyone tried the Nokia CR-200? It has Qi charging and an NFC sticker to launch car mode. It's pretty pricey but if it fits the phone OK it could be a pretty good car mount.

According to the reviews on Amazon, it's not very sturdy. The ibolt looks okay if you don't care for qi charging.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] AceKingNYC:
I have an iBolt dock that I was using for my S3 - i plan on using it with the nexus. The top is hinge based to accommodate different widths, and the backplate is minimal - with my s# i could use the cam to record video while driving, might be able to do the same with the N5.

Here is the updated photos of the Aduro U-grip holding my Nexus 5. Great fit, hold the phone securely. The mount is stuck on the dash really well, it will not come off. Taking the phone in and out is also no problem. I love the small size of this mount, I cant stand the large ones blocking my view and looking ugly on my dash.

Curious about the Arduro and Montar mounts.

Since we don't want to advertise that we have "high end" devices in our cars by leaving the mounts in place for too long, is there a good way to store these mounts when we leave the vehicle? I'm thinking that there should be a good way to preserve the "sticky' material on the mount.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PsychDrummer:
I don't really see how having a mount in your car without a phone is advertising a high end phone. It could easily be for a GPS device or an older smartphone. But if you are worried about it, the Aduro mount's suction is pretty good. If you take it off and on everyday I'm not sure how long the adhesive will stay but I think you will be fine.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Vincent Law:
There are people who will break into your car just to steal loose change in your cupholder. As far as those types of thieves are concerned, your car window is just in the way of free money. Same goes for anything remotely of value that they can take to a pawn shop and make a couple bucks off of.
