Thought I'd share this video with you guys, this is mostly for those who want to keep their phones without any case so they may be able to take the proper precautions.

And for those who don't want to watch the whole video, skip towards 3/4 of the video and you will see the Nexus 5 screen break down after just one drop on it's screen, it was still functional but it was badly damage so this is more so you all may be careful and see what could happen if you phone falls just once on its screen at chest level.
[Nexus 5 General] stremax:
hate too see this kind of test, obviusly if I drop the phone it will be somehow damaged, even if I drop my worst enemy head will be damaged.. just wasting of time and money
[Nexus 5 General] Chad_Petree:
That was PAINFUL to watch, i cringed :crying: , wow i was very very surprised how bad it did, whole sections of the screen dettached themselves from the phone, I seriously thought gorilla glass was stronger :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] lolcopter:
pretty brutal

prob grabbing a case just because of the camera protrusion however this helps reinforce that decision

Good video, but I can't stand cases.

Takes a cool looking phone and makes them look like bricks out of the 1980s.

No thanks. Keep your phones cool, don't be scared.
[Nexus 5 General] BoneXDA:
Gorilla Glass is just that - glass. It doesn't take side damage or flat landing good at all. The way Apple, Samsung & co are trying to protect the glass from drop damage is using an extra rim around the front panel, something that is missing from the Nexus 5, so no surprises that the screen cracked. What surprised me is the rigid plastic that shattered way too easy, it's something really cheap sorry to say.
[Nexus 5 General] cipsaz:
The N5 is a lot more fragile than the N4. The phone isn't as rugged, though.

The N5 has no aluminum rim bezel as the N4. My N4 has fell from about the same height and only the bezel got dented. It is that rugged.
[Nexus 5 General] Paddington:
One of the advertising points for the N5, Moto X, and I believe G2 is the side-to-side glass. The extra rim isn't missing; it is intentionally left off. I love that combined with Pie controls.

But yes, the Gorilla Glass is just glass. I agree with your point here. It is supposed to be scratch resistant, not drop-proof diamond material. People always seem amazed by these videos when the glass breaks. Guys, it is glass, it breaks when you drop it. It doesn't matter if it's a phone, a computer, a TV, or even a watch. Glass breaks when it hits something hard at a decent speed. Nothing surprising there.
[Nexus 5 General] flintdragon:
I never understood the purpose of these drops tests. Wouldn't you have to drop hundreds if not thousands to arrive at a conclusion? There are tons of people who post that their screen broke on a drop but someone would come on and say they dropped there's and only got a dent.

When they do crash ratings on cars, they do very specific tests at pre-determined angles of impact, etc...

These drop videos are some random dude that drops it and the phone lands at some random angle.
[Nexus 5 General] Mr. Sprinkles:
Remind me not to drop this thing! I miss the days when you could drop a phone and the worst thing that happened was the battery cover popping off...
[Nexus 5 General] Paddington:
Yeah, they were like Legos. You drop the phone, it shoots one way, the battery case shoots another way, the battery itself shoots a third way. Although that was unintentional, it is interesting that they make phone cases like that now. I can't recall off the top of my head, but I remember one that was designed to break into multiple parts when it was dropped in order to minimize the impact on the phone itself. Interesting idea. Never owned one, though.
[Nexus 5 General] DroidDavi:
Ordering case now
[Nexus 5 General] lolcopter:
I'm usually very anti case, but the red one in the Play Store looks rad so I'll probably swoop on one of those
[Nexus 5 General] dsarch21:
I can't wait til sapphire is the standard on phone screens. I would easily pay extra for a screen made with it.
[Nexus 5 General] daLareid:
I agree with you are all saying, sure is just glass and it is likely to break when dropped I mean we all know that is obvious but I decided to post this as a fair warning to every owner cause I have a Samsung S1 aka Captivate and have accidentally dropped it on the screen and not even a scratch, so yeah I know it depends on the build and materials so figured people should be more careful with their N5s.
[Nexus 5 General] domenicop:
Is the back cover removable? On the drop test it seems like it is.

I'm asking because I've to choose from a real bumper and a bumper with a protection on the back.
[Nexus 5 General] Landara:
Easy to remove. Just drop your phone! :P But it probably could be removed, if you were so inclined. I can't imagine why you'd ever want to though. Because your warranty is likely toast if you do. And it may never go on correctly again. Just keep checking Youtube, a teardown video will be up soon enough they will see how hard it is to get off.

EDIT: Nevermind here is the video. Fairly easy to get off. But it is glued at the bottom so your results may vary.

Hi all,

I have created some folders in the app drawer.

I've put these folders on my homescreen and was wondering if there was a way where I could put more apps into an existing app drawer folder and have it reflect the changes on my homescreen folder.

Ex. a Games folder in the app drawer and on the homescreen. Download a new game, put in app drawer folder - is there a way for it to show up on my homescreen folder?

Thank you!

Hi,

I'm trying to root my HTC One V following this tutorial, but got stuck after succesfully unlocking bootloader. I got to point 18., then confirmed unlocking and the phone turn on. Then screen where you type your pin apeared. So I hold down POWER button and choose to turn off the phone. When it's turned off I press VOLUME DOWN and hold and then press POWER and hold but the phone always just turns on istead of going to HBOOT. Now I have no idea what to do and I don't want to try things on my own because I might brick it or something. Help me please:o

[MENTION=5533344]KaCZeR2[/MENTION]

hold power button for approximately 10 seconds. you will see out hardware keys at the bottom of the screen start to flash and then your screen will turn off.

as soon as your screen turns off, release the power button and then hold down the volume-button.

this will boot you into bootloader mode.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asadun:
Hi. I have the GT-N7100 International version, and I just installed the latest stable build of CM 10.1. Everything's working fine, except the signal bars dont show up at all. I can make and receive calls, and do everything over the GSM network, which shows that the signal is indeed present, but it just shows empty signal bars at the status bar, which causes me to think that the issue is a cosmetic one, but it would still be nice to be able to tell if I'm getting any bars or not.

The signal strength values in the About section in Settings show very odd values, corresponding to INT_MAX and CHAR_MAX, so something seems wrong. I'm attaching screenshots for reference.

If someone can please help me out with this, I'd be really grateful.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mridang:
I'm having exactly the same issue. I've posted on other forums but I haven't gotten an answer as to how to resolve this as yet. It's been like this ever since I updgraded to Cyanogenmod 10.1.3. My best guess is that our basebands/firmwares aren't working with the ROM. You seem to be running DDALJ1 and I'm using XXALIE. I'm going to post around to see how to flash a new baseband. I know that I need to use Odin to flash a new firmware and it is recommended that I take an EFS backup. (Jesus, this is really confusing.)

Do you wan't to try to help me to figure out how to get new basebands/firmwares onto our devices? Cheers mate, I hope we solve this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Mezabaru:
So I need some help, my warranty on this phone is up and I have the sgh-t959w model. I'm wondering the stock firmware on this thread says it will start up as telus, but my phone is the wind model (refeering to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1956025 )

I want to be able to send my phone in for warranty but I've modded it so much, is it even possible? All I want is a new battery, but it seems as though I have to send the whole phone in.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Just double checking... it says SGH-T959W under the battery? Strange that the startup screen says telus.

It should be the same as the Galaxy S 4G (EB575152LA - 1650 mAh). I found a ton of them online for only a few bucks. (one from amazon)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peteus:
I am on T-mobile 5GB/month prepaid plan and would like to know if any of you have the same issue. What I found out is that download speed using ookla's speedtest app will show at around 10 to 25 mbps but I never got upload speed to ant stable level and average around 2 mbps regardless of cell tower, reception, or time of the day! It also seems that upload speed starts at 10mbps and after 1 -2 seconds will just stop, and then do like 1 mbps. Sometimes, ookla speedtest will not be able to finish the test using LTE and report network problems. I tried using different bandwidth test apps with similar results. HSPA+ does as usual, around 10mbps down 3 to 4 mbps up, no interruptions. Something is not working right and I sure don't like it. Yesterday, while connected on LTE my music streaming got interrupted and buffered every 20 minutes or so, like I am on EDGE, LOL (no actually... it's not funny at all). Hangout video chat (while on LTE) interrupted few times as well.

Update: Switching SIM cards didn't help. Upload speed is still extremely slow or will show network error. There are at least 6 other members reporting this issue with T-mobile LTE.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
Is this a new device / activation with a new(er) T-Mo micro-Sim card?

What device were you using before the N5? Try powering down the N5 and restarting it?

Reminds me of the old cable broadband days - turbo speed for that initial burst of extra speed, then it's back to same old, same old. Perhaps a lot of N5 on the special plan getting activated & seizing LTE's bandwidth ??

But, even HSPA+ speed is better than our soon-to-be history VZW 3G data with its lousy coverage at our home.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peteus:
I don't have prepaid but $30 month to month.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peteus:
I used Galaxy Nexus and cut SIM card to micro size. Do you think it may make a difference if I replace it with new T-Mobile micro card? Why? What could be different? I would assume something like that may be the problem if I couldn't connect to LTE band- but N5 does connect with this (old customized) SIM when signal is available. I at first thought it was overloaded T-Mobile tower, but then I drove around and tested with the same results.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
I had a 3 years old PAYG T-Mo Sim card ("regular/standard sized) and it was getting worn out from being swapped around - just by looking at the metal contacts) so I grabbed extra ones for 99cents (or was it free, whatever last month) just in case - not feeling to make a run to a local T-Mo store to ask for one to be swapped out. T-Mo support site mentioned about Sim card exhausion after 2 years (that's a new one to me too, but whatever) & that a new one should be exchanged - I couldn't swap it out online by updating or changing the Sim card, so ended up calling 877-xxx-xxxx & got transferred to a live operator and was done in less than 10 minutes, no questions asked once I came up with the correct PIN (ended up changing it anyway) - CSR didn't even ask for device's IMEI #, just read those long digits to him.

Waited a few minutes, rebooted and received 2 SMS & made a quick test call confirming that everything seemed to be working. It's working for me as I only switched to the $3 per day plan to check out the speed & back on PAGO by the minutes plan now on this line - it's my emergency backup line for voice calls.

I thought about & was ready to cut down the Sim to micr-Sim size with a template, but realized that by matching it to other free micro-Sims that I might be damaging the contacts as they are oversized beyond the micro-sim's dimensions.

If you have a spare free unactivated T-mo sim around, call them to swap it out to see if it might be the root cause - supposingly, older Sims like yours (and mine) might not be properly "provisioned" for 4G/LTE and possibly max'd out at 3G/HSPA+ in those days in their system's profile.

My friendly UPS driver just dropped off another free/free micro-sim plus a data only micro-sim for the tablet, so I'm going to play with the tablet and see how lucky I can get with the "free" 200MB monthly data offer.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peteus:
Thanks. I'll get to T-Mobile store.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peteus:
What does T-mobile say

There are at least 6 XDA members so far reporting issue with LTE upload speed on T-mobile. Switching SIM card to new one did not resolve the problem. One question for all with upload issues: Do you have 16 or 32GB version? I think it's vise to call T-mobile at this time in search for solution.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickmv:
I have this same problem. Nexus 5 here, and upload tests are abysmal, usually ranking at about .5mbps, whereas download is 12+.

Using a legit T-Mo micro-SIM. HSPA+ does NOT have these issues at all.

At some point soon, I'm going to go down to the T-Mobile store, and hopefully run a side-by-side test between their T-Mo branded Galaxy S4 and other devices, to compare with mine. If theirs doesn't show this issue, I'm filing a support ticket, as well as contacting Google.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremykersh:
I'm on the same plan and hadn't tested until you posted this. For me the results did matter what server I was on. I got close to the same download speeds you posted somewhere between 25-30 mbps down and upload went from .5 up to 20mbps when I switched servers. I have definitely noticed this phone faster but my old galaxy never slowed down in the middle of a dl. Like you mentioned after a period of time on a download it gets throttled maybe upload to IDK (havnt experienced it yet) but for me on a big(er) app like dead trigger 2 or HD wigets I get a fast dl to about 30-50% of the app with it saying something like 3 min left, then once it hits the throttle point to something like 30 min for the remainder of the dl. forcing me to cancel or use wifi. So T-mo is def. capping or watching ea dl on an individual basis and deciding off ea request a certain (what they feel to be) acceptable size for that ping, most likely to try to get rid of leach tethering. not really why it effects the LTE more than hspa +42 data tho??

When i am not using internet the phone is connected to H when i start browsing or i do open facebook or anything else related to the internet the signal switch to H+, and sometimes it will be H or H+ i tried another sim with another carrier it is the same.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohiojosh78:
Hey all just wanted you guys to know, if you have anything you "think" might be an issue, that I have 4 Nexus 5s on hand to compare apples to apples and 2 Note 2s to compare apples and oranges.

I'll do 2 comparisons. One will be comparing the Nexus phones with each other and then I'll do the Nexus phones compared to my Note 2s.

What I've found so far:

Screens:

Nexus/Nexus - 1 phone has a VERY yellow tint to it. The other 3 are whiter and all similar to each other with slight variances.

Nexus/Note - Both Notes are very much cooler and appear whiter than any of the Nexus phones

Speakers:

Nexus/Nexus - All 4 Nexus phones are anemic and tinny sounding with low volume output.

Nexus/Note - Note 2s blow away all 4 Nexus phones in terms of clarity, volume and quality.

Vibrate:

Nexus/Nexus - 1 phone has weak vibrate and makes a loud fluttering sound. 2 others have medium vibrate and medium sound. 1 has strong vibrate and almost no sound. The noise is coming from the vibrate mechanism itself as if it is having trouble spinning freely. The louder the sound the shorter the vibrate rolloff time is. The quietest phone has a much longer rolloff period at the end of the vibrate as if it spins more freely.

Nexus/Note - All 4 Nexus phones are weak compared to the Note 2s but the Notes are a bit louder, not due to the mechanism itself but more because of the sheer force of the vibration itself. The Nexus phones noise is coming from the mechanism not operating properly.

Texture:

Nexus/Nexus - The black phones are softer to the touch than the whites on the battery cover area. Also, the sides, on the white phones, are a glossy black instead of matte like on the black versions. White also feels...drier? Kind of like it was sprinkled with baby powder compared to the black phone.

Nexus/Note - Notes feel about the same hardness as the white Nexus but have a slick finish instead of the "powdery" finish I described above. The back panels seem more porous and appear less glossy/shiny than the Note 2.

I'll add more later. Going to work soon.

Feel free to ask me questions.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] impaler:
Hi all

I have a UK T-Mobile Vario with no modified ROMs or anything like that. I am having problems syncing with two computers using Activesync 4.1.

I'm not experiencing any of the usual AS problems, I can connect to both computers by USB or IR without problems. I don't have any firewalls other than the built-in XP firewall, and they have been disabled for the Vario connection on both computers.

From "out of the box", I set up a partnership with my home computer without problems. I then did the same with my work computer. However, when I returned home, Activesync did not recognise the device as one with which it had a partnership and started the setup wizard again. I had to go through the whole process again... then the same thing happened when I returned to work!

It's very frustrating because it takes so long to set up new partnerships, and I can't be confident that it is properly merging what has changed on the Vario with what is on the PCs.

If no-one has any better ideas I guess I will have to do a hard reset and reinstall AS on both PCs, but I'd rather it didn't come to that!

Thanks in advance :)
