[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elementaldragon:
got-killed: you make some good points for each phone. But i have to say the things that really led me to get the Nexus 5 (aside from really wanting a new phone and having no upgrades available yet through AT&T) to upgrade from my Galaxy S3 are:

1) Developer support, as you mentioned, but also updates direct from Google, without any software really being locked down and the source always available, which also means BETTER custom ROM's.

2) The screen is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

3) .... did i mention updates directly from Google?

But in all seriousness... yes, the Moto X has some nice features.... but i honestly can't imagine myself using them very often. Touchless operation.... I had enough trouble with Touchwiz waking my phone when i received a text message, and accidentally unlocking the phone through my pocket (which you'd be surprised just how well these screens work through a layer of cotton and denim). Kinda like the whole "Pocket Detect" feature the S3 has, where it'll automatically lock the phone if it seems like you've put the phone in your pocket. Nice... but yea... easier to just hit the button on the side of the phone and not worry about IF it locked.

Not sure what you mean by the Nexus 5 not having an energy efficient battery. The battery in the Nexus 5 is ever so slightly bigger than what's in the Moto X, and also has an ultra-low power bonus CPU core to greatly minimize battery usage while the phone is asleep. I can't say i use my phone heavily... but it's already doing much better than my GS3 ever really did. Can get 14 hours on a charge with nearly an hour of screen time, and still have upwards of 20% battery life left, depending what i was doing with the phone.... and that was only on it's second charge so far.

And yes... the speaker is a fair bit quieter than on that of something like my previous Galaxy S3.... but the side-by-side comparison between the two, it's no contest. I'd MUCH rather have the superior sound quality from the Nexus 5's speaker than what the S3 has. The sound is rather tinny on the S3. Watching a video of Sungha Jung playing his acoustic guitar is not only practically ear-splittingly high pitched on the S3, but the lower tones when he's drumming on the side of the guitar with his wrist while playing are for the most part non-existent from the speaker. The Nexus 5's speaker can output tones a fair bit deeper than the S3's speaker can, and the highs aren't as squeal-y. And i'm sure, either be it from the development community or from Google themselves, we'll probably see some sort of mod to make the volume louder from the N5's speaker.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zandeer:
Picking a phone is very personal choice. Go to the store and play with the models you can, go to an AT&T store to check out the Moto X.

Personally it comes down to this, if I were to buy a phone on a subsidized, or JUMP, plan it would be the Moto X. But being that I usually buy a phone and hold onto it for a couple of years, and I am buying in cash, the nexus made much more sense to me.

While the moto x is great, imho, it isn't future proof. How will it perform in a year or two, what about the developer community. Add to that, you couldn't get the 32 gb model on T-Mobile, and I went with the Nexus 5.

But, I will admit, it is much more comfortable in my hand and pocket than the Nexus 5.

I don't regret my decision at all.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elias4444:
Thank you everyone for your input and ideas! You're a GREAT community here!

After thinking about it some more, I actually cancelled my Nexus 5 order. Not because I don't want the phone anymore, but because I realized my real issue here is that I'm just not comfortable with brand new tech that barely hit the market. I've felt a little let-down with my 1st gen Nexus 7 getting slower and slower over time and it's made me a bit gun shy to run out and buy the "next big thing" the moment it hits the market (like I did with my tablet).

I'll spend some time researching all the suggestions posted here before I dive back in. Honestly, the MotoX never even crossed my radar, but it sounds like it has a solid following and deserves some consideration.

Thank you again! And please feel free to keep posting your ideas! I'll keep coming back and reading them.

As per sig i have 3 devices. .just got the nexus 5 today and its going back tomorrow and I will buy the G2...I should have went with it in the first place but I couldnt resist the white nexus.

Nice device just not for me..if you want a 5 inch device...s4 hands down..or if you want to go a bit bigger G2.

Note 3 is a beast of a device...nuff said there.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cutterjohn:
Just remember someone like you, I gather, will be stuck with what you get out of the box(OOB). The nexus/playstore editions have the least bloat and get OS updates the quickest... that is IF you decide to go with an Android device, but as I intimated before, you've dithered so long now, why hurry? Go look around some more until you're sure of what you want/need/are comfortable with.

Personally, I REALLY like nexuses for their non-bloatwareness, although when I bought my last phone the nexus 4 there was nothing but the n4 really, the the One and S4 hit the play store, but I decided to go with the n5 again. Maybe next time something different especially if mfgs. like ASUS step into the ring and also limit bloat plus update fairly regularly(I have shield(tegra 4) FYI which has already gotten one OS update so far, I also have the n7(2013 version snapdragon v. your tegra3 2012 version), also most of my desktop and home networking is also ASUS(motherboard(P9X79, I build my own), router(AC66U), monitor))...

Good luck, and I'll just re-iterate you've waited this long, so just don't jump into anything willynilly, but also I'd suggest not terminally procrastinating...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paddington:
I owned the first generation Nexus 7. Bought it the day it was released. It is the only device I've owned that really did slow down like you said. It is too early to speak for the Nexus 5, but this problem did not exist on the GNex, Nexus 4, Nexus 10, or second generation Nexus 7. I ran into the problem with AOSP based custom ROMs on my GS3, but not with stock TW or TW based custom ROMs. The first generation Nexus 7 just didn't have great hardware, and it showed after lots of use, especially on the 8gb version. I don't think you should have that fear going into the N5, but I think you're being smart holding off until you're sure. I jumped the gun with the Moto X and got just above half of what I paid when I resold the PoS.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tospace2006:
I bought a N5 for experiment and I will stick with my Z1. Better camera, quality, waterproofness, better screen even though z1 is bad for yellow tint N5 is worse. With the N5 you simply get what you pay for but I would pay a little more for the premium glass/aluminum finish phones like the One or my Z1
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdh10475:
I have had the HTC One and I currently have the Note 3 and the Nexus 5 (My 3rd Nexus over the past few years). I really enjoyed the Note 3 but the size got to me. I have not had the N5 long enough to really form an opinion other than the battery life sucks compared to the Note 3. Also the N5 seems a little less polished than the One or Note. So far the best every day phone was the HTC One that opinion might change with more time with the N5. Just my .02.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elementaldragon:
So wait.... you're saying if you want a 5" device, you shouldn't even consider the 4.95" Nexus 5 and instead get the 5" GS4... but if you want something a bit bigger, you should get the 5.2" LG G2? Really nitpicking over .25", aren't we?

And i'm really loving the people who insist on constantly pointing out the battery life of the Nexus 5 sucks in comparison to *insert phone here*.... especially when that phone is the Note 3. Yes, the Note 3's screen is nearly an inch larger than the Nexus 5's.... but the battery is also 39% larger. That's like somehow expecting a V6 Jeep Cherokee to perform just as well as a V8.

Don't get why everyone's saying the battery is crap, anyway. I don't think it's THAT bad... and i'm coming from a Galaxy S3.... where it seemed if you did anything more than some texting and web browsing, you would basically be lucky to make it through an 8-hour work day and still have a decent amount of battery life left. first two days with the N5, and i've gone 14 hours with similar usage as i had on my GS3, and still had 20-40% battery life remaining.

Dear all

What is the best combination that you have found to achieve the best compatibility with desktop versions of websites?

I have now the last Flash from Adobe. The browser which gave me less problems was Firefox. However some video applet of newspapers still do not play at all.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] jackURbody:
Boat browser is far more unstable for flash under 4.3. There are many sites where videos crash the browser but which work fine on Note 2 4.1.

its a shame that newer phones are providing a poorer internet experience than older ones. HTML5 just hasnt kicked off in the way we were told it would. I really hope Adobe see sense and bring back Flash support as I fear in a few phone generations it will be completely unusable. Surely new phones should offer the best internet viewing experience, if it gets to the point where I need to put away my note 4 and whip out my old s2 so I can view a website or video then we've moved backwards. Bring back official Flash support!!!!!

Hi guys

This probably isn't Note specific, but recently (maybe since an update) on the youtube app, I have noticed that randomly a video will decide to go really dim and display a non clickable icon in the middle of the video. This can happen during the 1st video of the day, or the 5th. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to this.

I have attached a pic of what I mean. Does anyone have any clue what it is as it's incredibly annoying?

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mocito:
Seems like its a share video icon.

Not sure about it but seems like the share icon we have on samsung.

In example, if i have my pc with wmplayer on, it appears an icon where I can 0lay my phones music on my pc through wi-fi.

With pictures it's the same. If you have a smart tv happens the same.

Maybe it's a share video icon to see on a tv or pc. But wait for other answers.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flynsb:
Hello,

I have looked ll over trying to find a video or simple tutorial of HOW TO root by tab 3

My only motive is to be able to view content especially GMAIL in larger font.

After I bought my Galaxy Tab 3; I leaned the the screen is larger but the font become smaller.

I asked 3 sprint tech's ' WHY would I buy a Larger screen only to get smaller print? (get the 100 yard stare every time)

Anyway, I am not talkig about in settings go change font to largest.. this is not the issue.

The Tab 3 has a hi resolution and when You put the gmail or flixter app on it I am forced to run the app in Tablet mode. I want to be able to have them in phone mode so all the fonts are larger, you know when looking at several emails and subject lines in the gmail app on a tablet is actually smaller.

In other words, If I put both apps (gmail) opened side by side tablet 3 next to my galaxy note 2 the note 2 has a smaller screen but larger font.

QUESTION: Can anyone make or point me to a youtube explaining to me how to get around this common and simple problem?

If you make the youtube for us dummies how to accomplish this you will become a youtube sensation !

Thanks

Other option is download the full rom from the ASUS website, unzip to the root of your internal sd and let that flash from stock recovery. You'll lose everything but it will get you back up.
