[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gzetski:
So its very obvious that the camera lens snags on everything and will end up scratched or broken.

I just put an Illumishield protector on the screen and I actually like it, as opposed to other screen protectors. I noticed no noticeable difference in image quality from the front cam when the protector is installed. Would some similar material work on the rear cam lens to keep it from getting all scratched up?

Can someone who knows a guy, who knows a guy, pass the message along to make a nickel sized circle of good quality PET film to stick to that huge camera lens?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznxk3vi17:
As the LG G2's camera lens is sapphire, I wouldn't be surprised if the N5's camera glass is also sapphire, meaning the last thing you need to worry about is scratching or breaking it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gzetski:
I hope you're right about sapphire, but until this is confirmed, I am gonna assume its cheap glass to go along with the cheap plastic.

I know some people say that the build quality is good, I personally think its a bit subpar, even compared to the N4.

I also realize that to cram these specs into a 400 dollar phone they have to cut corners somewhere.

The camera is underwhelming to begin with, so I am not counting on anything durable as far as the lens goes.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaurenceGough:
See my thread regarding the camera lens material. Well the camera lens cover. I don't think it's sapphire due to the shear size of it. The G2s is much smaller. Sapphire costs a lot.

Personally I'm going to buy a case so the lens cover is not sticking out miles to be scratched. Poor design choice for sure!!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slickromeo:
Let us know what case you end up buying.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
Slightly off topic, but for anyone concerned about this be aware that a camera lens protector needs to be severely scratched for it to affect your image quality. A thin scratch even through the center of the lens will not show up in photos.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbdan:
I agree about the scratch resistance (if indeed the N5 lens glass cover is sapphire), but sapphire can break as easily as glass or even easier.

According to Corning (makers of gorilla glass) "Gorilla Glass requires about three times more force to break than sapphire after both materials have received similar wear and tear".
[Nexus 5 Accessories] electric0ant:
Just wanted to ask those using Qi chargers to charge their phones, if the N5 gets hot when charging.

I have my N5 charging on a no-brand Qi charger and it gets quite warm. Is this normal?

I don't remember my N4 getting so warm though.

Now sony official release the update upcoming to Xperia devices for 4.3 update..

From Sony

Last week you probably saw Google announce Android version 4.4; Kit Kat…

We’ve seen lots of questions on our Android upgrade roadmap and equally, we have lots to tell you, so here’s a note on just that…

First up, Jelly Bean 4.3

We’re pleased to tell you that we’ll start rolling Android 4.3 for Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia SP, Xperia Z Ultra and Xperia Z1 from next month*.

We also mentioned that a few of our products would be jumping software version – so, we can confirm that Xperia T, Xperia TX and Xperia V* will be upgraded to Android Jelly Bean 4.3… also from next month.

And, to Kit Kat 4.4

We’re also happy to tell you about the first raft of Xperia products that we’ll make Android 4.4 Kit Kat available for – they are: Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia Z Ultra and Xperia Z1*.

On that, please stay tuned to the social newsroom and [MENTION=5448027]SonyMobile[/MENTION]News, where we’ll update you with specific info on product upgrade timings & software features as things progress.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to drop them below.

*Software rollouts are a phased process – timings & availability may vary by market / carrier

[Sony Xperia L] Marius Cristian:
So XL is not getting 4.3...what a surprise.At least now I know that Sony support on mid-range and low-end devices is crap....the only big thing they did for us was to update to 4.2.2,however this update also have bugs so I don't see any difference between sony official support and custom rom.If someone doesn't start to work on a CM soon we'll be stuck with this 4.2.2 until we can manage to get a new phone....sony mid range phone?never again :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
Well, wrath of users was expected and even I wanted Sony to give 4.3 or 4.4 update.

But seriously have you even seen a mid-range phone getting more than one android version update? I think the answer is NO.

Sony has still handled Xperia L quite well and we should patiently wait for bug fix update of our latest 4.2.2 build.

And don't lose hope on CM ever, its just a matter of time. Even development of my other awesome phone(HTC Explorer) started after a lot of time and now it has fully working CM10.2. See, the phone was launched with 2.3 and was completely abandoned by HTC but it has one of the best developments for legacy devices. So, don't lose hope and keep calm.
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Lol... I'm switching to Google nexus.. Sony can go **** themselves. It's stupid that they're not bothered to release atleast 4.3 when our phone was released just about 6 months ago, just wow.

[Sony Xperia L] siankatabg:
Yea, next time will be nexus...
[Sony Xperia L] Hnk1:
Well, Nexus does give you freedom and choices of lots of custom roms. It's price is great and it's very good phone. I have Nexus 4 and I do like it. I will certainly recommend it. The only thing you need to think is how long you intend to use it. Buying the every latest devices is not very wise as you spend alot of your money for just one or two extra features.

I think to update my Nexus 7 2013 in 2015 and my Nexus 4 Next year (October 2014) while Xperia L around when it is required. I would be using it for a couple of years too I believe. Following this scheme I always have the latest device with me and I also do not spend a lot of money. (700-800 British Pounds every three year, considering that I am a Medicine Student and under a lot of loan already). Also what is more to look is that my old devices are still doing a great job. I recently installed CM 10.2(JB 4.3) in HTC Sensation and it runs just as smooth as Nexus 4/Xperia L for the matter. The software is stable and I can play HD games on 786MB RAM only.

Another point to note is that KitKat 4.4 has only been released for about a week now and I am using 4.3 on my two year old HTC sensation using Custom ROM.

Now most of manufacturers are working hard on ONLY hardware. Even phones released two years ago are doing very well till date. However, if you look into software department and games, you can still play all of latest games on these devices very smoothly. I will give you examples of HTC sensation/Incredible S, Samsung Nexus, SII or any other phone of that time with almost similar hardware. I have checked MC4/Fifa 14/Asphlat 8 personally on all of these devices. Also with KITKAT 4.4, Android has gone into a surge to speed up system by 50% and that's just beginning.

You might be wondering, the new ROMS are not available. Well actually they are but custom made. If you check out Android development of these phones, you will be surprised that many developers are giving their best to just work hard on new ROMS and they are all great.

The only drawback that I see is of Nexus devices is that it doesnot have a removable battery. This is just a big draw back for me as I keep three devices and I update each one annually so this means that I need to change my nexus after using it for around 2 years to 3 years. In this time, I need to change my battery as battery does get worn out and damaged. But I just can not easily do that although it can be done but usually nexus batteries are hard to find comparatively.

Remember to always BUY A DEVICE WHICH IS DEVELOPERS FRIENDLY. You won't find much ROMS for HTC Amaze although it has almost the same specification as HTC sensation.

About Xperia L, usually a manufacturer updates it devices for around 18 months in high end devices and around the same time for middle ranged devices or maybe 12 months. When will Kitkat be available for Xperia L? It might take a long time (first all new high end devices Z1 and Z ultra, then recent high end devices and then the lower and middle end devices)

I clearly see why there isnot a chance for Xperia L to directly jump to 4.4 or maybe this is what I am hoping to use Xperia L in the long run.
[Sony Xperia L] Joel16:
Agreed

Maybe nexus 5 would be a good choice.
[Sony Xperia L] siankatabg:
You are right,but XL is 6-7 months old,and if mid-range device get 12 month support this makes 5-6 months support more.I think that is enough time to make 4.3(why not 4.4...) update where all the bugs that are present in 4.2.2 are fixed.

Who knows,maybe we will see bugfree update some day :)

[Sony Xperia L] mitulvohra:
come on people. this is the 'first draft', simply meaning that these will be the first phones which will get the update. i.e sony has prioritized them. they will be working the update for these devices and then come to other phones. and if you are saying like ' i wont buy sony phone ever again' then good luck with other manufacturers mid-range devices.
[Sony Xperia L] Marius Cristian:
I said that I won't buy Sony too...but if I think about it...Samsung makes expensive devices, LG is no better than Sony in terms of updates and hardware...and others aren't so trustworthy... So I guess I'll be sticking with Sony until I'll afford a high end device. Then I'll really have a choice.

What do you need from 4.3 or 4.4 ?

I have seen a lot of complaints here "when we will get 4.3 or 4.4) and so on and so on. My question to all of you whiners out there is as following, what do you need 4.4 or 4.3 for ? Is there something in this version that you ppl need or is it just need to have latest version of OS so that you can brag about or what ?

I uppgrade ONLY when there is a bugfix or something that I actually NEED. If it says 4.1 or 15.2 on my android has no point whatsoever in my world. What is imprtant that my does what is designed to do and Xperia XL even with 4.1 is just fine. Stop whining and actually use that phone for waht is intended for.

New MIUI V5 Rom for Q700 and Q700i

View attachment 2444033

MIUI (pronounced "Me You I", a play on the common abbreviation of the words user interface as UI),

developed by Xiaomi Tech, is an aftermarket firmware for cell phones based on the open-source Android operating system.

MIUI itself is closed source. It features a heavily-modified user interface that does away with the Android app drawer and has drawn comparisons with Apple's iOS and Samsung's TouchWiz UI.

The Custom ROM includes additional functionality not found in stock Android, including toggles on the notification pull-down, new music, gallery, and camera apps, and an altered phone dialer that displays matching contacts as a user enters a number​

​

Note: Q700 Users Must flash Q700i firmware before flashing this rom.

​

Now, i am off of this Rom due to lack of time but you can find New Updates by [MENTION=4486135]pawanyadav[/MENTION] here.​

2. then download & install AndroiTS GPS Test Pro

3. open the AndroiTS GPS app & check if sensors & gps is working

now go to open area , roof-top preferable. might take 2-3 min to lock position... after that open gmaps & get ur location.. once you are done... from next time you'll get a quicker lock
