Not trying to tell anyone how to use their phone, but I see all these complaints about auto brightness and I can't help but wonder, am I the only person that doesn't use it? For years now I've disabled auto brightness on all my phones. I just use a widget that let's me quickly bring it up or down and to be honest its very easy and convenient. I've always felt that it was superior and less awkward than letting autobrightness adjust it for me. The battery savings are great too.
[Nexus 5 General] alan-31:
I dont understand why these people cannot make models that are 3 millimeter thicker so they can have all the things in them that we need. larger battery, heatsinks, stereo speaker, and so on. Will be returning it.

I've had no doctor tell me that 3mm extra on my phone will kill me.

Some day this "thin" fad will disappear and companies will start using their heads more when designing their products.
[Nexus 5 General] Phazmos:
I never use auto brightness. It always makes the screen too bright. Also, never noticed any dimming, even after 2+ hrs surfing and gaming. Can't wait to see the status bar brightness slider make it back into a rom.

You can have all that, and for only about $300 more. You have several options, but this is THE best bang for your buck.
[Nexus 5 General] jodvova:
auto brightness kicks in even if you have it disabled.
[Nexus 5 General] danv28:
It's normal for the Snapdragon 800. I had the Note 3 and it did the same thing and lowered the brightness more noticeably and during simple tasks such as web browsing. The HTC One does this to some extent, but the N5 handles it better than the Note 3. It's because the phone is thin with no fan to cool down the CPU.. it's normal, unfortunately- all 800s do it.
[Nexus 5 General] aooga:
I love how a lot of people say that they want a lower PPI, but I can almost guarantee you that those same people would complain about this phone having "last year's specs" if it had a 720p screen.
[Nexus 5 General] MrPhilo:
Wheres your proof on that. I've not seen it or seen my screen get dim
[Nexus 5 General] jodvova:
On S4 just run Chrome it will automatically adjust brightness upon start.

On nexus 5 (I noticed this only today myself), use the phone for 5-10 mins non stop, like browsing, Facebook, flickr, 500px and etc., once the CPU heats up it will start adjusting brightness itself.

In both cases, auto brightness is off in settings and the screen is set to full brightness.
[Nexus 5 General] Phazmos:
Lol , I just had to!

---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------

They should just stick with the n4. Hell, I'll sell my gnex for $100 if someone wants 720p.
[Nexus 5 General] Jayrod1980:
I've never noticed this... In fact my problem is that I don't use auto brightness because this screen is so freaking bright. I have it pegged at 20% and I have no problem even during the day seeing the screen.
[Nexus 5 General] shoco:
Hi again guys, for those of you who may be interested I found that it is possible to reduce the brightness throttling to some extent by using the app "faux kernel" and setting the mpdecision to "conservative" (using the Qualcomm MPdecision).

The good thing is that it doesn't negatively impact performance, the CPU will still run at max speed if need be but will more aggressively return to lower frequencies when not needed, reducing heating and improving battery life as well. Overall it allows you to browse and staying at around 350 cd/m² instead of dropping all the way to 300 cd/m², which is an improvement.

The problem here in my opinion is that the thermal throttling on the Snapdragon 800 is way too aggressive, 50°c is fine, they should let it go to 60°C before starting to throttle the brightness that hard, there's still plenty of leeway.

I got an iPhone 5S yesterday as a replacement for the N5 that I'll be returning, there's litterally zero difference is clarity except for text when you're completely zoomed out that you couldn't read it anyway. In any normal use there's absolutely no benefit at all beyond 330ish ppi, I much prefer the screen of the iPhone 5/5S at 330 ppi with a consistent brightness of 550 cd/m². To me it's a much smarter compromise than 445 ppi throttled to death.
[Nexus 5 General] dark_ente:
How about selling it for your fellow xda member?

I can't order it at all.. need it in the next 7 days
[Nexus 5 General] kaywalker23:
I love the completely lame excuses people give here saying they're going back to the 5s as if we're all supposed to bow down to their infinite wisdom. So really, the only thing that tipped you over was the brightness throttling? My theory is some people just buy the nexus 5, knowing they can return it for a full refund thinking it gives them a chance to come and bash it on the forum, if youre even telling the truth and you actually bought it.

Good riddance.
[Nexus 5 General] shoco:
It's much harder to return the N5 than returning a product you would buy at retail, so no I wouldn't buy it just for the lolz, I genuinely thought, and still think, it's an amazing product. The thing is I can put up with mediocre battery life, dodgy viewing angles, but not with a dim display on top of that.

[General Questions and Answers] Croatoan®:
On GSMarena (and everywhere on internet) I saw that Xperia Miro has 512 MB of RAM, but every app (like Watchdog, Go Launcher) that I used shows 401 MB of RAM. I have STOCK Android, no root. Is 111MB of RAM used by OS or it's something else?
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 5525469:
The memory figure for anything (RAM, HDD, SSD and what not), is only an approximation. During production of these memory devices, the actual value is almost always less than the figure given by the OEM. Having said that, the OS may have certain uses of the RAM but are not displayed on the task manager.
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
The carrier may limit the ram, I know the HTC dream was limited to 384mb by tmobile
[General Questions and Answers] Croatoan®:
Approximation of by 10% is very lousy approximation. On PC if you have 3GB of RAM you have ~3GB of RAM, not 2.7GB of RAM ;) but memory figure for HDD and SSD are shown in TB but they are really in TiB (TB=1024 GB and TiB=1000 GB, ...). Does on your phone, your RAM memory figure is smaller in task manager because of OS?

Looking for a reasonably priced thin case.

Rearth Rinke Slim - Don't make one for AT&T yet

Incipio Feather - Don't want to pay $25!

Any others you recommend similar to those two? Not really looking for great protection. Just something to cover it a little. Would like it not to contact the glass when face down.

Thanks!
[G2 Accessories] bps119:
I have the diztronic tpu case and liked it. I bought the slim armor case as well because I wanted a bit more protection, but the diztronic worked fine to keep the screen off the surface of my desk and the same with the camera lens. It didn't add much bulk at all either. It can be found on amazon. Diztronic was about $8 and the slim armor case is $20.
[G2 Accessories] desantim:
Just ordered the Feather, really the only thin option for the Verizon G2

Left phone on over night without charging, 7 hours drained 5 percent but I made sure WiFi was off. Wake up to see WiFi drained the most battery.

Hi there, try this: Go to settings, tap Wi-Fi, tap menu overflow button, go to advanced, then see if Scanning always available is checked. If so uncheck. I keep everything here off except Wi-Fi optimization.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adulel08:
Yeah it was on. What a dumb thing to have on default

Sneaky Google.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greg Tolan:
i think that having this checked actually saves battery in some cases. You can see for yourself you only drained 5% in 8hrs which is pretty darn good. Isn't anything near 1% an hour while idling considered good? My guess is that it is being used for you google now and some other apps. For example, since google now periodically updates based on location using wifi is much more battery efficient than GPS. Same goes for other apps that might update in the background that need location services.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lloydalikes:
Forgive me for not really being able to search deeply into this matter, I've seen threads detailing updating with the JasJar ROM or an amalgamation of the the MDA/O2 ROM.

1) I have 43.72mb total storage and 47.93mb Program storage. This results in 91.65mb total storage??? Right, at 128megs where has 40mbs gone? I have pretty much the exact same set up on the MDA3 yet the two figures more or less add up to 128mb. Can someone confirm these figures with me?

2) Is there a new ROM coming out and soon? I'm not one to complain if results are going to happen, but the memory issue is a biggy to me as there is one more program I want to install on the thing and I doubt there will be enough free memory.

3) Software, I'm sure there was a better suite of software on the MDA3 when that came out. Okay time consuming it may be but sometimes I do like to run Messenger when I'm on the train - where has it gone? And if Microsoft think I'm going to pay £10.99 more for that feature they can go swivel. I followed a thread that said it's included in Windows - it's not on the MDA Pro.

I really love the design of the thing but the software just seems to be a joke. Where do I start? I have posted the MDA3 for sale on Ebay and I want to honour that sale, but I also want a device that replaces my MDA3 100%.

This includes getting TomTom 5 to work with my BT GPS receiver!!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] meatychi:
1. Sorry not sure about the memory

2. I havent heard of a new T-mobile ROM being available and they never seemed to work on any updates for the MDAiii

3. The software suite was better - I miss my messenger too and like you I am reluctant to pay microsoft a tenner! The backup software isnt avialbel either which is an arse.

4. Good luck with TT5 I had to upgrade my co-pilot to get it to work on new os.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lloydalikes:
If at all possible could anyone with the MDAPro and the carrier ROM please do a memory check on theirs to compare with mine?

If you're not sure how to do it - Start/Settings/System/Memory, I just need the total figures for Storage and Program
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] meatychi:
I have the same memory CONFIG as you have stated!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
In WM5 you have separate ROM & RAM configuration unlike WM2k3...

So here's how ur memory is split up -

1. RAM 64MB

Out of 64 megs of RAM, you loose roughly 17MB on internal allocation. For the device to run perfectly it has various fixed RAM permanently allocated (DMA buffers (for ur cameras etc.), kernel level memory allocation, GSM memory, video memory, mem swap space, cache etc.). This total memory fixed can vary from device to device, and each company can tweak it accordingly. Eventually, the OS has roughly 47MB for use. Now again, when WM5 powers up, it again consumes around 17megs of RAM, giving you 30-32 megs of ram to use for your programs or apps!

2. ROM 128MB (permanent storage)

This is divided into the following -

a. OS install: This is where WM5 related files etc. gets stored. This is a total of 64Megs

b. Extended ROM: This is used by maufacturers to store their customizations etc. Another 20megs allocated for this

c. User storage: This is the space available for you to install programs, and for windows to bloat :D Thats 43megs that you find!

Hope this clears out :)

Cheers,

San

Thanks for you response having had an XDA for some time and then the MDA I was just quite suprised to see a Memory low warning message so quickly as I never saw one on the MDA3. I wanted to confirm that I wasn't having memory issues.

of course there is a guide to downgrade, but he's rightly saying ZSMG2 has some issue with the modem file. I've already posted the problem at 3 different threads. once you flash ZSMG2 then you cant even flash any other JB stock rom, coz once u do it shows everything in 'about phone' section as unknown e.g. baseband IMEI etc. once u flash it again, everything becomes normal. I spent 2 weeks thinking I've bricked my fone but ultimately I flashed it n now its working though I really want to flash JVBMD1 but I cant. any views? and thanks in advance.

Edit: can someone try it. Or maybe find a way to edit that modemfs folder file. It seems as if ZSMG2 has gotten printed on the device which cannot be changed. Otherwise, any1 trying to flash this rom, pls dont. Not becoz its laggy or sumthng but bcoz of the reason mentioned above. Thanx

For anyone else considering it, I called Orange last Friday to unlock my M5000. They charged me £20 which will go on my next bill.

I called last night asking if a letter had been sent yet, and while it was sent Tuesday, it obviously caught up in the Xmas rush. So an operator there just gave me the code over the phone.

Its a simple procedure, just start up the M5000 with a NON-Orange SIM inside, and after the pin unlock (if you have it), a window pops up saying phone is sim locked with an area to type something. You enter the code Orange give you and press OK, then repeat this again, and its done!

The £20 will easily be saved by the ability to put in Foreign SIMs when I go travelling.

Hope this is of help
