[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masamunecyrus:
I've had my Galaxy Nexus almost since the beginning, and I've tried a lot of roms.

You probably notice a lot of stuttering and general slowness on your Gnex. The Gnex was fine on 4.0. Something happened in 4.1, and it became slow as death. The only thing that ever seemed to fix this was doing a factory reset on your phone, wiping the data, and reinstalling your rom. People came up with varying ways to fix this slowness problem (root always required, of course), including modifying the dalvik heap growth limit and readahead sizes. Other people used a program called LagFix in the Play Store that basically was a manual TRIM, because there was a problem with certain Samsung phones where they refused to trim the filesystem.

Jelly Bean 4.3 fixed all of that. Google committed some changes to the source that built trim into Android. To put it in perspective, my random read speeds on my phone were 0.4 Mb/sec before installing 4.3. My speeds now are 1.6 Mb/sec. Sequential read/write improved by an order of magnitude.

If you're not on Android 4.3, yet, you really need to do it. Android 4.3 helped my battery life not necessarily because it inherently consumes less power, but because it dramatically improved my I/O speeds; when my phone wakes, it doesn't have to wake as long to access random pieces of storage.

On top of this, ever since I can remember, the radio switchoff between Wi-Fi, 1X, 3G, and 4G on the Verizon Galaxy Nexus has been atrocious. Ever since I got the phone, it would regularly take me 30 seconds to a minute for data to come back up as soon as the phone switched to a different wireless standard. The latest Shiny rom (10/11/13) finally was able to fix that, so my radio switches happen in less than 10 seconds, now.

Finally, I've tried random kernels, including Franco, Trinity, Lean, Tiny, Golden, and GLaDOS. All of them have affected battery life and speed marginally and in various ways (and some of them caused me a lot of reboots after a week, or so, of use), but the one that has really--actually--improved the snappiness of my phone has been the BIGMEM version of Fancy Kernel. Fancy Kernel's thread is here; I'm running on version pre44-3-big.

Hey Guys,

I am a newby around here. I just got myself an MDA Vario as well.

I guess the first step is to unlock the phone -->

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796

Can find excelent info on how to do this on this link

I guess the next step is to update the ROM... BUT HOW??

I know where to download the roms (Either Qtek or K-jam)

But what is the next step?

Just connect the device and then run the exe from the computer and follow the instructions?

Maybe there is a link which provides a clear Howto, but I haven't found it yet between the many messages on this board.

Thanks for the help guys!!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] apple_power:
Use lozwiz, unlock your mda and then unlock your cid.

This will prevent the dreaded wrong country id code

Keep all relevent files.

You can back up your rom if you want. Remeber the rom will be the size of your sd card.

Back up your extended rom if youw nat again.

Oce you inlock you cid, you can simply run the exe roms from the ftp site.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] shinayser:
Well, here is the problem:

I bought a Nexus 7 (2013) last week and i leave it charging (cable) every night when i go to sleep. Every day in the morning i realize that the nexus 7 is woke up, with screen on (i have the Stay Awake option checked in developer options). But this is wreid because i turn it off before i go to bed.

Then i realized that none app is on the "recent apps" list. So i can only figure out that the device has resetted by itself during the night. And this is happening every night.

Anyone got this issue before?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Silellak:
Not exactly, but often times when I take my new Nexus 7 off its wireless charger in the morning, every app I try to load crashes. I'd suspect a RAM usage issue (an app with a memory leak), but that doesn't seem to be the case. Only a reboot seems to fix the issue, and it's happening (almost) every night. Very strange.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] JackalJackalJackal:
Yesterday I reboot the tablet while charging 2x. I did not know why, I have a tablet for about a month and the problem I had when charging. This morning I did Factory reset and had charged six hours at a stretch and no restart, everything is fine. I'm from Czech Republic and the Czech forums I've read this problem also, we are not alone. :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] NinjaMom:
This just started this weekend. I'm not asking it to send anything, but I'll will get these random error messages.

Bear is one of our horses. So it is like the phone is randomly trying to send something for me, without me asking it to and failing. When I click the error message I end up at my Gmail outbox.

Any ideas?

[Nexus 5 General] androidizen:
Hi all I've spent the weekend with the Nexus 5 and have put together a review, over all very very good. Not much to grumble about with the Nexus 5.

[YOUTUBE]K4OicFhI9xo[/YOUTUBE]

Feel free to ask questions, ill be stopping back into this thread in a few hours, hopefully the video covers everything people want to know.
[Nexus 5 General] AndreaCristiano:
Excellent review even through your camera section does not mesh with what others have said or shown. Great detail and thoroughness
[Nexus 5 General] TurkzZ:
great review, subscribed!
[Nexus 5 General] A.VOID:
Thanks for the lengthy and detailed review. Glad to hear your positives.

Discouraged to hear the WiFi issue, although that sounds like something Google will patch quickly.

Rubbish camera app... Agreed it has been too long without an update. Focal has always seemed half baked to me, and it's not good that n5 isn't supported yet.
[Nexus 5 General] BoneXDA:
I will watch it as soon as I can mate!

Does Transparent Android and and navigation bar work with live wallpapers such as Paperland?

How is RAM management, how much is in use currently, how much is cached, do you see it using less or the same as your previous phone?

Are Google Services, particularly Now! and location services cause large standby drainage?

How is optical image stabilization working?

Does it get hot during benchmarks, gaming, any thermal throttling and gaming lag cause of heat?
[Nexus 5 General] dasebasto:
Thanks for this nice review.

IMHO you are too optimistic when you suppose that the "wobbly power button" issue will be fixed.

As for the poor Wifi strength, it will certainly be a deal breaker for me it is confirmed. (you make another optimistic assumption that it may be a software issue, but I'd say it's more likely to be a hardware issue).
[Nexus 5 General] daddioj:
glad to hear the speaker is louder than the G2 was kind of low. weird considering LG makes both phones
[Nexus 5 General] onmike:
Thanks, I'm going to check out your review this afternoon.
[Nexus 5 General] lolcopter:
only a few minutes into the review so far, but so far so good! i very much like your presentation style, and just the basics such as proper camera work are very good so far. :good:
[Nexus 5 General] riggs170:
Thanks for the info you did a great job with the review. I havent recieved my device yet so it was nice to drool over a 32 minute video.
[Nexus 5 General] MohJee:
Does the phone get noticeably hot while gaming? Does it suffer from intense throttling after a while (the G2 does)? How long does it take to charge the battery up?
[Nexus 5 General] androidizen:
No where near as hot as the GS4 i was surprised i think it gets hotter shooting a video than it does when playing an hour of gaming.
[Nexus 5 General] paddylaz:
This review rocks - good job!

Trustedreviews.com also have one up if people are interested - just seen it appear a second ago.Looks like they're all coming in now.
[Nexus 5 General] androidizen:
I mean later batches will probably have that sorted its a minor thing anyway
[Nexus 5 General] androidizen:
Lol im the same when waiting on a new device if i cant have it now might as well watch videos of other people with theirs... geeks to the end..
[Nexus 5 General] paddylaz:
Androidizen, do you have any personal recommendations for 3rd party cam apps? I know it's early days to be fair so many won't be optimised/compatible yet

ps. gold award for you for managing to get the phrase 'willy waiving' into an otherwise serious review :)
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Great review. I will ask about the camera though. In the video you are trying to have it focus in something literally inches away from the sensor so it will obviously be hard to focus at that distance.

Does it act the same way if you are taking a picture at a normal distance?
[Nexus 5 General] killian17:
Nice :3 have to save money :3
[Nexus 5 General] lolcopter:
just finished the review, very well done! :good::good:
[Nexus 5 General] barondebxl:
Hey mate, G2 or nexus 5?

Edit: G2 for me!
[Nexus 5 General] UCLAKoolman:
Nice review. Your channel seemed to be the only one pumping out consistent videos of this device over the weekend. It was maddening trying to find some nice hands on videos of the Nexus 5 (Verge.... )
[Nexus 5 General] akash3656:
How was the battery life of the Nexus 5 compared to devices like Galaxy S4, Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus (if you owned/used one them)? From the battery life video, you mentioned the battery lasts for a day of usage. However, I kinda just want to know how long the battery lasts with your usage patterns on other devices. The reason is I have a friend that wants some decent battery life (about 4 hour screen on time with mostly 3G). His current phone Galaxy S2 is similar to my Galaxy Nexus which barely does 2 hours screen on time with full 3G.

He wants a new phone. He almost bought a LG G2, but he got turned off by the bloatware and the size of the phone. He would happily grab the Nexus 5 if the battery is good enough.

EDIT: Great work for the video and your voice is clear and easy to understand. I'll surely be subscribing to you :)
[Nexus 5 General] Cronis:
Nice review hope the camera issues get resolved a bit, supposedly google is working on an update.
[Nexus 5 General] lolcopter:
what do you mean? the speaker quality was a positive in this video too? he said only HTC One's stereo front facing speakers are better
[Nexus 5 General] Cronis:
Posted in the wrong thread. changed the original post =p
[Nexus 5 General] cipsaz:
The icons or so big. I am not used to a 5" inch phones and this feels so stretched. The hangouts still a mess, the stock calculator is hideous. The screen is nice, but washed out. The charge over USB is freaking slow as on the N4. Other than that the phone looks better than in the pics.
[Nexus 5 General] Simba501:
That may only be a product of the launcher. I have it on my HTC One, and it enlarges the icons like on the Nexus 5. On a different launcher, the icons may be closer to what I consider normal.

[Nexus 5 General] -A-P-M-:
Thanx for a great review!

Weak Wlan reception concerns me a lot. Because Im a lot in other countries and data roaming is expensieve, good Wlan reception is very important for me. I hope this is only software problem and not a hardware (weak antenna).
[Nexus 5 General] heroisnotdead:
Poopy wifi? whatwhatwhat?!

I dunno that I would call weak wifi reception as "minor" to be worked out in later manufacturing batches. You're the first reviewer to mention it. I mean, is it something that effects your performance relative to the other devices you mentioned during that part of the review? Is it only a reception issue (less bars relative to the other devices)?
[Nexus 5 General] Simba501:
Great question. I'd like to know this as well.
[Nexus 5 General] dimgl:
As an owner of the Nexus 5, I can't say I've experienced WLAN problems with it yet. Reception seems to be very solid. I also have not had problems with bad battery life and I should be able to reach a conclusion on the battery life within the next few days.
[Nexus 5 General] daLareid:
Nice review, thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
My wifi reception has been pretty bulletproof. I was just at the end of my driveway and still had a strong wifi connection. That's good enough for me.
[Nexus 5 General] corwin42:
My N5 arrived today and it has so bad Wifi reception that I'm thinking about to send it back. This must be a hardware defect.

Everything else is great with the device.
[Nexus 5 General] Simba501:
But how does it perform? As someone previously asked, is it cosmetic? (i.e., bars appear low)

Sent from my HTC One.
[Nexus 5 General] Simonna:
Hello, I have a question how is the audio quality listening to the music on the earphones?
[Nexus 5 General] dwang:
No issues with wifi reception here. Same download speeds as my htc one.
[Nexus 5 General] corwin42:
No. If I am 5 meters away from the router, speed drops. 15 meters from router connection is lost.

I did a test in the city. With my Galaxy Nexus I had always 10 to 15 wifi networks in range. With N5 only one or two.

I think my N5 has an antenna problem. Not connected to antenna internally or something like that.

I have a problem with my nexus 5 antenna. I usually get great reception at my home but I have zero bars.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] imablackhat:
What's your uptime? Gotta say this phone is stable and smooth.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] kisypher:
Out of habit I reboot mine at least once per day. I don't ready know why, but I have done this with every device I have ever owned. Dating back to my Motorola Startac.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] b00mb00mchuck:
Same here bro... every morning when I wake up like a bad habit...

Not a bad idea with any android device...

also a simple clear cache from the storage menu...

and a full dalvik wipe with SystemTuner on the weekends... (the stock dalvik wipe from recovery doesn't do a full wipe)

Keeps everything running in tip top shape :cool:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] chrisnosleep:
Are you rooted? I don't see that option in my System Tuner application.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] b00mb00mchuck:
I am rooted ... the option is on the "one click" tab
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] chrisnosleep:
So since I'm not rooted, my option is probably limited to wiping dalvik through recovery only?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] b00mb00mchuck:
I believe that is correct.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] VillaCastana321:
Your not limited. if you use the recovery option button with your device you can boot into your device recovery menu and wipe your cache. Dalvik I think as well. And I restart my device atleast once a day as well. Sometimes 2 times if I feel like it

Friendly Verizo Rep - BBM: ThatOneGuyJavy
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] b00mb00mchuck:
Already established right here in this thread... you can wipe cache from the settings menu without having to boot into recovery... and you ARE limited because the dalvik wipe in recovery doesn't do a complete wipe.

You can see that it doesn't do a full wipe because you don't see the typical "upgrading apps" sequence on reboot after the wipe.

and where is this "recovery option button" you speak of? That wouldn't be available on a non-rooted device
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] VillaCastana321:
Oops when I said recovery button I mean recovery menu. You do the volume button sequence to access your phones recovery menu so you can wipe your cache that way

Friendly Verizo Rep - BBM: ThatOneGuyJavy

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

And yeah your right. However I have noticed that not all phones do the app upgrade boot screen after wiping dalvik cache.

Friendly Verizo Rep - BBM: ThatOneGuyJavy
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] b00mb00mchuck:
Then it's not a full wipe on that device... I'm not knocking it... still better than nothing... but i prefer a full wipe by a trusted app and not the partial that is given by the OEM on their device.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] danutzz:
I reboot once in a while as well. No biggie since the load time on this baby is the fastest I've seen. I use clean master to wipe caches. Also quick reboot to reboot the phone (always skeptical of over-using the power button since my OG Droid got worn out once a long time ago).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ManOfBusiness:
+1 for daily resarts and cache wipes.

+2 for insanely fast restart times. it seem that now if I were being chased I could boot my phone in enough time to make a precious phone call.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Serilei:
Ok, I have a usb otg, and it reads everything I attach to it, usb drives and what not.

But it seems to read the controller according to the SNES emulator, even when it is disconnected it knows.

But it is unknown why I cannot map buttons to ANY of my emulators. Did I miss something?

I connect the same controller to my Htc one x plus and I can map buttons on the same emulators.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:

It shout support the wildfire because in frodo it was supported.

Would be interested to hear from others who have their Nexus 5's now, hows your wifi?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlmcr87:
Instead of % why don´t you do a speed test with both phones and comment? Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidizen:
Here is what I have found doing some tests:

With router in same room about 2 meters away from me

34mbs Nexus 5

34mbs Galaxy S4

Move to the bedroom and we get this

Nexus 5 16mbs

Galaxy S4 22mbs

That's a fairly big difference and indicates something is going one somewhere. I ran each test twice and made sure theirs no downloads anywhere on the internal network or to the web and also that all other wifi devices are turned off. I turned off the alternate device while i did each test so the S4 couldn't interfere with the Nexus 5 and vice versa.
