[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SemiGamer:
Yeah I just feel weird asking these questions to sprint.

Example:

"Hey, I'm interested in the Nexus 5, however I want to use it on AT&T because your service is bad here, Will it work?"

I'm sure they'll be professional and answer the question but still feels like a rude question to ask. Lol.

ALSO: Does anyone know if the Sprint Version is branded with "sprint" on it anywhere?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
Never assume carrier reps will answer questions professionally, haha. And I really don't know about any Sprint decals.

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SemiGamer:
Very true lol.

I guess I'll find out about the decals when I go to the store tomorrow.

Appreciate the help man, as always if someone else has more information please feel free to let me know.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
Just picked up a Sprint version from Best Buy, I am on T-mobile. It is the EXACT same phone. Same model# same build number and 100% factory unlocked. I also got them to price match the Play Store!

Edit: Also got the exact same 125mb update after powering on..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SemiGamer:
Awesome!

I just spoke with Sprint and played dumb, This was the conversation in short:

Me: Is the phone the same device google is offering, unlocked and everything?

Sprint rep: Sir do you mean unlocked for international use?

Me: Yes can it be used on other carriers over seas when I travel?

Sprint rep: After 3 months we will be able to unlock the device for you to use on other networks sir.

Me: Okay so its not unlocked from day one, I have to wait 3 months?

Sprint rep: That is correct sir.

So it seems they don't want people doing what I'm going to do OR the sprint rep doesn't know crap about the nexus 5. Lol.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
Yeah most phones on CDMA networks are GSM unlocked anyway, immediately. I think he's just giving the canned answer.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
They probably just don't know. They seemed surprised when I told them I wanted to buy it outright because I was on T-mobile. Popped my sim right in and had 4G..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SemiGamer:
Yeah I went from a Galaxy S3 on Sprint to a T-mobile Galaxy S4 unlocked and running on AT&T so the last time I had a CDMA device it didn't have GSM. Its nice to know I can get newer sprint phones such as the Nexus on my families plan and use them on carriers such as AT&T that actually have signal in my area. Tomorrow is going to be a good day :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gawman:
Just bought Nexus 5 from local Best Buy. First one I went to said I needed to leave with a Sprint contract. The second one let me buy it outright with GP price match.

The box has Sprint material in it and a "don't text and drive" Sprint screen protector.

The model number and build number are the same. I also popped in my ATT sim and it worked.

Same build as developers.google.com, no Sprint software or google play sprint integration. I see no sign of Sprint any where on the hardware or software. My ATT sim works on LTE and HSPA, data/text/phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hausman:
I didn't see this posted but when I swipe left to text a contact from the log, if the phone number of the contact is in (nnn) nnn-nnnn format, s-voice messes up the number by adding a 0. If the format is nnn-nnn-nnnn it works.

Wondering if this is just my setup or not.

Anyone successfully using this yet? I'd like to use the SMS feature of hangouts, but still receive my text notifications on the gear. However I don't want to get double notifications on my phone.

Anyone tried this out yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mtsingson:
Yes ive done it. I did disable notifications from the stock samsung messaging app. Theres only one downside to it. You only get notified that youve received a hangouts message on your gear but you cant read it on the watch
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] tennisshoeninja:
Well that's lame... I really liked the hangouts... Back to textra
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] gordec:
You can read SMS from Hangout on the Gear. I'm on null 17. I unchecked notification from stock SMS.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] justin94:
Are you able to reply using a keyboard? Thisnsi the one thing I am waiting to find out before I make the jump to null
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] omniwolf:
Way to dig up an irrelevant thread from 3 months ago. Since the Gear Manager update in December i think it was, you can get previews of notifications on the watch from all apps, including Hangouts.

If you install null_, then tether the Gear to the internet, you can use the play store on the Gear to install the full hangouts app on the watch. Then you can reply to messages on the watch, but you'll have to keep internet tethering on to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] therockk:
Hi, have you personally done this? I got my gear a few days ago. And i havnt flashed a custom rom on it yet. But if you can confirm you have done this than i will most certainly go ahead with it! Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] omniwolf:
you i have done this. It only works for "internet" hangout messages though, not SMS.

keeping internet tethering enabled all the time is a battery killer for the watch and the phone though.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] therockk:
Hi, i took the plundge last night and installed Null rom on my Galaxy Gear, and tried what you suggested and it works!! Thanks alot for the info!

[G2 Accessories] smirk27:
Our phones are pretty picky when it comes to which adapter they work with. I've tested a couple actually and I can vouch for the one made by analogix. I would post a direct link to the amazon listing, but as a new user I need to rack up 10 posts...

But if you search "SlimPort HDMI Adapter - Connect MyDP enabled mobile devices to any TV" it'll come up as $29 Prime.

This adapter, while expensive, works very well and has not cut out on me during hours of straight use. It has a charging port to provide power to the phone while in use, but i should tell you that while i had this connected my phone still discharged very slowly. Maybe 1% every 5-10 minutes. But that's with wi-fi, blutooth connected to a keyboard and mouse, and an aux cable hooked up to my speakers. So... not bad.
[G2 Accessories] MasK:
I got this one:

http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/161112913690?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Works great. With Wifi & BT on, battery got discharged about 4%. Not too bad considering that even the screen remains on.

The "slow charging" message is always there.

Anyone knows how to turn the screen off while connected to a big screen?

EDIT:

Oh cool.. found an app which does that!

http://www.screenstandby.com/

I've yet to see if it works on Slimport, but I don't think it'll be a problem..
[G2 Accessories] shadow run:
Hey guys, I'm thinking about using a slimport adapter with my charging dock. Could you please tell me if they will work together?

Here are they:

Slimport adapter: http://www.amazon.com/SlimPort-HDMI-Adapter-Connect-enabled/dp/B00DWGB6CU

My dock: http://www.amazon.com/KiDiGi-DESKTOP-CHARGER-VERIZON-TMOBILE/dp/B00GINGOMG/

Thank you
[G2 Accessories] MasK:
I've tried this trick before on an official Samsung dock and official Samsung MHL adapter on an S4.

Didn't work.

MHL/Slimport utilizes alot more pins for it to work and I strongly doubt the charging dock will carry all the signals. Most probably it just carries the 2 power lines over.
[G2 Accessories] shadow run:
Thank MasK, I was about to buy them and you saved me :D
[G2 Accessories] harmonyxda:
I tested the slimport; worked with a few HDTVs but there is a 1080p Samsung TV made a few years ago that doesn't work with it. Could be HDMI port compatibility problem. I was able to get the same TV display the screen of a moto photon phone just using a microHDMI to HDMI cable.

Anyone tried miracast with 1080p video?

[G2 Accessories] aceofspades626:
I'm using the Cable Matters slimport adapter. It's a little glitchy.

It needs to be disconnected and re-connected once in a while, but more importantly you cannot connect the power or it cuts out completely. The G2 battery holds out ok and charges quickly so I'm just rolling with it but you may want to try another one before going to this.
[G2 Accessories] AyDee:
My adapter only displays the camera in portrait mode. Is that a problem for anyone else or just my adapter?
[G2 Accessories] Lostlam:
Sorry to bump this thread after a while, but I was wondering the same thing. What is the best value for money Slimport on the market?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chakra:
Ok so my title states it pretty well. I have a bunch of bluetooth devices I use, JBL Charge, Car Stereo, JayBird headphones, and every other android device I have had you can control the volume from the device. However with Googles new nexus 5, it seems that feature doesnt work? Now I have to use the bluetooth speaker to change the volume. Any ideas on a fix?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vanhoud:
Same here, seems to be a bug. Use an equalizer app to lower the volume

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deusofhearts:
The problem looks to be app compatibility with 4.4. Pandora doesn't allow any bluetooth volume control, but Slacker which was updated Nov 8th works fine.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vanhoud:
I used the volume buttons on my Nexus 4 to turn down the BT audio all the time when I listened to Pandora. It's a system ride function so it shouldn't matter what app is playing audio

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you can use twrp, just update to the newest version of twrp. you can flash recoveries via fastboot or an app called flashify.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rohit02:
You can flash s cwm touch zip file in twrp recovery and then reboot recovery and you will get the cwm touch recovery..:good:

Question - how did you get your first recovery on your phone. Its no different for the second one... You just have more choices on how to do it now thats all
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthfader:
its possible to flash within TWRP itself, but i chose to do it with fastbot command line and the recovery img. it just overwrites TWRP and you get CWM then

Hi

I just got my Nexus 5 yesterday and could not connect to the WIFI at work. People at work with Samsung Galaxy S4s are also unable to connect however the S3 and my Galaxy Nexus are able to connect fine.

There's two networks: a Guest network that doesn't require a password and a network that requires a password. I am unable to connect to either. The phone will say "Connecting" for a couple seconds and go back to "Saved". At home I'm able to connect fine.

I was wondering if anyone else is having similar issues, or know of a solution. If anyone had an S4 and now a Nexus 5 are you able to connect to networks you couldn't before?

Thanks

Jeff
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nadrojcote:
This will be an issue with the network not the phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bmolloy:
I went to Seidio's site today to see what their progress on cases for the Nexus 5 look like and found that they have their holder page up with all of the usual cases there. Everything is showing as "Under Development" but the prices are up at least.

http://www.seidioonline.com/LG-Google-Nexus-5-s/9164.htm

You can go to another phone's section and get an idea of what the cases look like. I am personally looking for a ruggedized case with a holster and a kickstand, so far it looks like the absence of Otterbox (just like the Nexus 4) means that Seidio might be the only option.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] A_Str8:
no battery case :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indianajonze:
hmm i wonder if that damn metal kickstand (which uses magnets) will interfere with wireless charging
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Watcher07:
Doubtful, the official charger that is due to hit the play store sometime utilizes magnets to hold the N5 in place with the metal discs in the N5. Magnets can impact the compass and such, but not wireless charging.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] duckied:
A battery case would be sick and I'll wouldn't mind paying a premium price for it
[Nexus 5 Accessories] firemedic1343:
A battery or an Obex case are the only things I would consider frrom Seidio.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AndrasLOHF:
Gah! Where's the Convert?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indianajonze:
well after doing a bit of research it seems that the N5 cases under development are very similar to their Nexus 4 cases, and their N4 cases work perfectly with wireless charging. so all there is to do now is wait patiently...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indianajonze:
well i guess there's no chance of a november release at this point...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] krabman:
You can still click the links even though there is no product picture up and they state whether the phone can use NFC and or wireless charging on each product. Also the convert is there, a couple of them. I have an email in asking when they might release but no answer yet.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AceKingNYC:
I'm not sure if alot of you know this - but this company has a partnership with bestBuy where they sell the exact same cases under the "platinum series" brand. The fine print on the packaging even says seidio on it and they are roughly HALF the price.

So be on the lookout for these new cases at BestBuy for less cash :laugh:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indianajonze:
one troubling thing i noticed is that on their site they still list LG G2 cases as "under development". The G2 was released ~50 days BEFORE the Nexus 5. if THAT's still under development, i'd say the odds of us seeing the N5 cases before 2014 are not great. seems like seidio really screwed up with the timing of this release...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slowpok22:
They now have the cases on the website, sent them an enquiry about them working with the wireless chargers and they said that they don't :(

I wonder if its because of the metal kickstand.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indianajonze:
i dont believe thats accurate. looks like the same case as the nexus 4 one, and that one most definitely did work with wireless charging

http://www.seidioonline.com/lg-nexus-4-surface-metal-kickstand-case-black-p/csr3lgn4k-bk.htm

The SURFACE™ with Metal Kickstand is tested to be compatible with official Google Nexus 4 Wireless Charger. This product does not interfere with NFC.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] slowpok22:
keeping my fingers crossed, I have the i Blason but unfortunately the fit and finish just isn't very good.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] munsterrr:
Seidio is really pushing for the kickstand.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] UncleMike:
Dilex and Surface NOW SHIPPING!

I just went to the Seidio web site and the Nexus 5 Surface and Dilex cases/holsters are listed as NOW SHIPPING. I absolutely LOVE Seidio's Convert case for my Galaxy Nexus - it was a big step up from the Otterbox Defender. I'm certainly going to try either the Dilex or Convert (when it's available), but I'm not liking the idea of a kick stand adding to the bulk of the case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indianajonze:
just got my surface combo. the kickstand adds zero bulk. the case is super thin and super light. makes the i-blason i was using kind of brick-like. and wireless charging works just fine, as i suspected
[Nexus 5 Accessories] otooles:
Could you post some pictures? I was really thinking about getting this case. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] RED ZMAN:
They make my favorite cases but I won't get one till some colors come in. Saying that the kickstand at snowball, they must have changed the design, as every version I've ever had with a kickstand adds about a millimeter
[Nexus 5 Accessories] icepack:
i can confirm that the DILEX model w/ kickstand for the nexus 5 works with the Nexus QI charger.

I tested it out last night when i recieved my DILEX case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ayvecs:
i just received my combo dilex case which used to be called the active. seidio is the only company i yes

trust case wise. when this phone first came out i had the diztronic and as soon as the seidio case was released i ordered it. only thing that bothers me about seidio is that sometimes it takes them a whole month after the phone is released before a case is available for purchase, but they make a case once and done no revisions.

i do love the dilex case does add a little bit of bulk but not so much that it makes the phone unbearable. like i said i have always been a seidio fan going back to the nexus one.

added some pictures for you to see. wanted otterbox to make a case for the nexus 5 but after reading about how some cases look crappy after a few months I'm happy with my seidio and really am not missing anything from otterbox.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ayvecs:
didn't see the other two pictures i attached so here they are.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ayvecs:
and still missing one
[Nexus 5 Accessories] UncleMike:
I just got my Dilex combo today also. After having the Convert case on my Galaxy Nexus, and an Active case on my Nexus 7, I feel like the Dilex is less substantial than I was expecting, but still seems like it provides adequate protection.

I work in construction sometimes, and concrete dust gets everywhere, so I'm worried a bit about the headphone and USB ports not being covered. Covering just the headphone jack would be an improvement, since it's on top of the phone, but overall it seems pretty good.

One thing I'm not a fan of is the kickstand. I'm far more likely to put the phone down face up than I am to want a kickstand, SMS the kickstand prevents the phone from laying flat on a table since the bottom end of the phone is propped up.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] RED ZMAN:
Anyone got a coupon code they can share? A bunch of the colored ones are available now too.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] CLTNex4:
Love Seidio cases, have used them for years. I just don't understand their insistence on including the hideous metal logo imprinted kickstand. On my LG 700 wireless pad my N4 charged fine with the Active case, but the metal kickstand retained so much heat that I started to fear for the battery (And my fingers). To say nothing about the fact that you can't lay the phone flat and it feeling cheap.

The fact that they don't make any assurances about wireless charging doesn't make me feel any better about doing it with the case on, whether it works or not. Layer of silicone surrounding phone plus metal heat retaining kickstand makes me feel the need to open the window and charge the phone in the freezing temps outside...

Sign me up for a Dilex case with no kickstand if they ever make one. As it is I'm on the fence. First world problems for sure, but still.

The cases look great otherwise. So disappointed...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] UncleMike:
I too am very disappointed by the presence of the kickstand, as well as the lack of a locking mechanism on the spring clip. I think the Dilex is still the best option for me, but I'm disappointed nonetheless.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] indianajonze:
sorry guys i've been busy with work stuff. i'll post pics of the surface case tomorrow for sure. in the meantime let me clarify a few things.

1) yes, the kickstand does add *some* bulk. i wouldn't classify it as bulk per se, but it does raise the case about 1mm in that section. it's still remarkably thin and light

2) the overall feel of the case reminds me of the spigen ultra fit (which i also have and can maybe do some side by side shots. one huge difference with the seidio is that the front of the case is extended just enough over the seam of the glass and the backing of the phone that dust won't easily get in. this was wide open on the spigen

3) kickstand is great i think. stable and quite useful. my only complaint here is that the damn thing is silver. kind of ruins the whole stealth black Nexus 5 thing...

4) aesthetics are great with one slight nitpick (i think): the power button cutout seems too big. you can see half of the sim tray. the larger opening does make it easier to press the button when not looking though, so its not major

5) the holster is just about perfect, with again one slight nitpick. this is my 7th seidio surface case and holster combo, and for some reason, when holstered and looking at the phone from the belt clip side, it almost seems as if the holster felt side is a bit too narrow. there's a good 2mm on each side of the phone exposed while it's clipped in. again, not a big deal, but when i compare it directly to my galaxy nexus combo, there's a big difference. also, while the holster spring is nice and tight now, as with all 6 of my previous purchases i fully expect the spring to loosen up significantly and possibly break within 6-8 months...
