[Nexus 5 Accessories] DeathKoil:
That Surface case seems to add a good deal of bulk to the phone, in pictures at least. Is it noticeable while holding and using the phone? I've had a surface case on every smartphone I've owned, and they are excellent cases. Some of my phones have taken really, really bad falls. The type of falls where you know the screen is shattered - but I've never had a screen break while in a Seidio Surface case.

Notable falls:

1. Moto Atrix was dropped by me, from shoulder height, fell onto a rug floor, bounced up, then tumbled down 14 concrete steps. Zero damage.

2. Samsung Galaxy S3 tell out of my sweatshirt pocket while I was on a 16' ladder (not all the way up 12 foot fall), the phone landed face down on the tile floor below, hitting the front upper corner first. Zero damage.

I want to grab the Surface for the Nexus 5, but the phone is big enough already, I'm concerned that this may make it too bulky. Feedback welcome!

Edit: Tell me the headphone jack hole is big enough to actually hit most headphone plugs. I've got a Spigen Neo Hybrid case on my Nexus 5 right now, and its a *huge* annoyance that most headphone plugs don't fit through the hole.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] krabman:
Nicely done on the pictures jones. Also couldn't get my good headphones in the neo hybrid cutout. I do have an el cheapo set that go through and I don't listen to music via headphone much since I mostly bluetooth it to my car so it isn't a big issue for me but its still an annoyance. In fact no insult intended to the fans of the brand but the neo hybrid is well below par when compared to a toughcase or the surface.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Pig Vomit:
I posted up some additional pictures a couple days ago of the Surface case that shows the headphone and other cut outs a little better than the shots in this thread. Like the comparison shots, though.

IMO, the added bulk is negligible. The big difference you are seeing is because one end of the Surface case is lifted a little higher when it's laying on it's back because of the kickstand. It adds no more bulk than any other Surface case. Love the protection from the Surface.

How is the texture on the dilex and surface cases? I need something real grippy....
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Pig Vomit:
No, they already had that as part of their 12 days of Christmas promo. That was about 1.5 weeks ago.

The Surface case is not "real grippy". The texture is similar (not exactly the same, but similar) to the back of the Nexus 5. Got some grip to it, but not enough to get hung up on your pocket. Don't know about the Dilex. If you're looking for "real grippy", look somewhere other than the Surface. That's why I like the Surface. Mostly keep my phone in my pocket, can't stand those cases that hold onto fabric like a bawling baby holding onto their favorite toy.

I should have checked my e-mail before making that last post.

In my Inbox this morning was an e-mail from Seidio.

They are having a one day sale for today (12/16) only for 15% off and free shipping on ALL products. Code DEC2013.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] UncleMike:
I wouldn't consider it "really" grippy, but it's plenty grippy enough for me. The silicone part is on par with the Seidio Active cases and Otterbox Defender cases I've used, but the hard shell exoskelaton of the Dilex is somewhat rubberized, adding to the grippiness (the Active case exoskelaton on my Galaxy Nexus is pretty grippless). If you've every used one of those cheap dual layer cases from i-blason, fintie, or countless others that sell the same basic OEM thing, the Dilex is much grippier than those.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ccs1676:
i'm waiting for the convert myself. I had it on my n4 before it got stolen. that case was a beast, nice and beefy. i'd say better protection than an otterbox defender, with the exception of the screen of course.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] astarling10:
just received my red Surface case for my white Nexus 5. It's a great fit and doesn't add much bulk to the phone. Cutouts are great as I expected from purchasing the Surface case for other phones I've had. Seidio did a great job on the kickstand. It doesn't protrude out as much as it did on the HTC One and the S3.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] racerboom:
Does anyone know if the Spigen Ultra FIt Slim (white or clear) would fit in the SEIDIO Surface Holster?

In theory the Surface should be slightly meatier than the Ultra Fits, so if anything it would be just a little loose in the holster. :confused:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cletus2:
Seidio Dilex and Surface cases are now finally available in all colors!

Not sure I like the kickstand in the cases though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] coolnexus:
Seidio cases are too overpriced. There are better deals out there

Go ahead and tell us about the cases that offer similar quality and protection for less. We're all ears.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Austie1337:
Hello everyone, I have a question about something. First I'll start with this, I rooted my phone (GS4) and I screwed around too much. Long story short I deleted my recovery by accident so people on xda told me to take it to Best Buy. I took it there and they hooked me up I said "Kies broke my phone" and I think they bought it, but anyway the woman at the desk hooked my phone up to the computer, put my phone in Odin download mode and installed something. She fixed my phone, recovery is all good, got rid of root and got all the bloatware back, but my phone was fixed and none of my stuff was missing. How? What was the program they used? I was going to ask what she did but I was short on time. Does anyone have a clue so I can get my hands on this in case it happens again? If anyone knows and could tell me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you!

PS. I think I posted this in the right forum. Hope so.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatperson:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xuweisheng:
Hi,

i am seeing that currently people are recommending kingo root or vroot, that was claimed that this won't trigger knox flag at all.

After rooting. if i were to flash any custom ROM, will this trigger knox flag?

Thank!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvansomeren:
Yes it will. Flashing a custom Recovery and/or a Rom will trip Knox. Kingo and vroot are not full roots. The phone is rooted enough to allow you to customize the stock rom and for applications that require root to work. If you want to flash custom roms, you might as well use the CF Auto Root method and get a full root. That will trip knox but so will what you want to do.

I'm sure it will be trip by KNOX. Keep calm until developer launch triangle away for Note 3 dude.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] CHiSEEN:
So as many of you probably know nexus line devices are all codenamed after fish. I've been wondering for a while what Flo and Deb could refer to since they are not fish. So i finally did a little digging and turns out, Deb is the name of the blue striped fish in Finding Nemo and Flo is her imaginary sister (she thinks her reflection is a fish). Furthermore, Deb and Flo is a play on ebb and flow relating to the movememt of tides.

So yeah if any of you out there were wondering about the naming like I was rest assured, Deb and Floor are indeed fish! Lol.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jarrodstrachan:
Hehe cool find dude ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Tim4:
I dont think Passion (Dragon) counts as fish. Or Crespo.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] TheManii:
The N1 is mahimahi and the NS is herring, all the device names were more complex back then and goog didnt "match" them up correctly afterwards. (not that it has any real affect on how the rom is built)

Passion is HTC's codename and crespo is samsung's.

The only devices that goog made roms for but didnt have fish codenames are the ADP2/google_ion/htc sapphire/mytouch 3g, the droid 1, and google glass

Even the chromecast has a fish codename, it's codename is anchovy

ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.1/ERD72/22132:user/release-keys

became

ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion:2.3.4/GRJ22/121341:user/release-keys

If it were to match convention, it would be:

ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/mahimahi:{android version}/{build tag}/{build number}:user/release-keys

ro.product.name=passion
ro.product.device=passion
ro.product.board=mahimahi
ro.build.product=passion

ro.product.device=crespo

* SMS etc Notifications ?

* Reminders.

Um- sms etc. notifications and reminders are all set in the control panel... is this what you meant?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] budo*85:
yeah i was wondering that, you can change the ringtones, but i dont think you can add your own for notifications, so you'll have to stick the ones that acme it... :x
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] stickeresq:
That is bone.

None of the alarm sounds are capable of waking anyone up! The thing is SPB Time can import sounds to be used as notifications / alarms so I figured there must be a reasonable work-around.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] coercri:
You can use your own but only in wav format and they must be placed in the windows directory on the device, so dont put to many or make them to big as they eat in to your precious program memory.

Once you have copied to the directory, they will show up in the standard dialog for changing notifications.

U have to go to Sammobile to check for Israel's modem.

U can find the modem number there (u need to log in).

See the last 3 digits of the modem number.

then go to http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39176955 and download the modem that matches the last 3 digits u found in Sammobile (e.g XXXX

Anyone notice how fast this phone charges when plugged directly into the wall? In 45 minutes my phone charged from 55% battery to 95%!

My Galaxy S3 charged around 20% per hour.

Anyone know how Google was able to do this?
[Nexus 5 General] xBeerdroiDx:
yeah, i've noticed this thing averages about 1% every minute, which is good. thats quicker than i thought the 1.2A charger was gonna do.
[Nexus 5 General] Mr.Mischief:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's due to the Quick Charge 2.0 feature Qualcomm put in the 800.

[Nexus 5 General] Phazmos:
Initially, took forever to charge. Battery was draining while plugged in and using the phone. Then I plugged it into the gnex wall wort and it started charging real fast. And the gnex was charging just as fast on the n5 charger. Haven't checked on the supplied charger since. Time to give it another shot.

Just got a nexus 5 today. Traded my Unlocked HTC One for it zero out of pocket even. Trade. The charge on this thing is a beast! Great phone so far.

[Nexus 5 General] ericshmerick:
Won't be nearly as fast via wireless charging.

Nexus devices have charged fast since the N4. Maybe it's an LG thing? My Note 3 doesn't charge as fast, but it's a 3200 mAh battery w/a 2amp charger. Still not as fast though, even with the same Snapdragon 800.

It's likely that Google worked with LG on the battery drivers for fast charging to offset the lackluster battery life (similar to Lenovo's X1 Carbon quick charge). They know you will have to charge at some point during the day, so they needed to make it fast to keep people from flipping out.
[Nexus 5 General] noobdeagle:
DW it does and its quite fast on it to. Faster than n4
[Nexus 5 General] raffstyle:
I just got my N5 today, its charging right now. coming from LG L9 P769 with 2150mAh battery..this L9 charge pretty fast too.

This is probably my favourite feature, I swear the Nexus 5 charges two (maybe even three) times faster than my Nexus 4. Considering the poor battery life I'm experiencing with my N5 (barely better than the N4), this helps tremendously.
[Nexus 5 General] Davies_90:
I'm glad everyone else has noticed this also,however my lg charger whines when charging so I use my 2amp Samsung S4 charger and get a full charge in 40 mins
[Nexus 5 General] MadFerIt2011:
That does not sound normal, I get no whine with mine.. I would ask for a replacement charger, even just to keep as a spare.
[Nexus 5 General] BoneXDA:
It charges faster if you use a 2A charger instead of the 1.2A that was provided. With that said, ppl. with knowledge in the area say slow the charge, better for lifespan.
[Nexus 5 General] Remoteconcern:

[Nexus 5 General] marleyfan61:
Is there empirical data to back this up or is it another one of those battery myths
[Nexus 5 General] EcPercy:
I wish I could say the same, but the LG charger that came with my phone is charging only 30% of the battery overnight. If I use another charger it works fine. I will be contacting my local LG shop to see if they can replace the charger.
[Nexus 5 General] rancur3p1c:
one example of well treated batteries would be the ones in the Toyota Prius. There are 13 year old Prii driving on the original battery packs, none have had trouble reaching at least 10 years.

I get about 10% more battery life out of a given charage if I charged using USB 500mA too.

Any time you put more power into something faster you're going to wear it harder. That's just a fact of life.

I simply gave the iPhone as an example as I have a friend whose died after 1.5 years because he plugs it in all the time and iPhone doesn't go easy on the battery regardless. I don't have proof that this is why, could have been an outlier, but I've never had any Lithium batteries need replacing on me even after 4 years; I assume it's because I take care of them.
[Nexus 5 General] marleyfan61:
I appreciate that you believe it to be true but the examples you gave are all anecdotal. Anecdotal stories can be used to support an argument but I prefer science. Does anyone know of any studies that have been conducted on slow vs fast charging and battery life? I would like to know the best way to get the most out of my battery.
[Nexus 5 General] jtdc:
There seems to have some protection built on the phone against high power chargers. I charged mine one time using iPad2 charger (2.1A), and battery monitor widget app sees it as USB (not AC charging), at 3 hours and 20 mins it charged the phone from zero to 71% only (0.355% per minute). I didn't notice it was charging at USB rate, that's the reason I checked and found out because I wondered why its not yet full after 3+ hours.

So I moved it to my Xperia (850mA) charger... 71% to 94% in 40 minutes (0.575% per minute).
[Nexus 5 General] theesotericone:
You'll dig this site. Lots of proven science. Also a lot of reading. Enjoy
[Nexus 5 General] tmagritte:
The article is not dated so it's hard to know if there are major changes in chemistry or charging practices since but the article really doesn't say much to suggest that fast charging currents are harmful, but rather that high voltage (and therefore how the top-up stage of the charge cycle is handled) will affect battery life. It basically states that the overall time to charge to 100% isn't largely affected by charging current since a larger current will charge to 80% faster but then there will be a slower charging of the remaining 20%. Still, a fast charge to 80% is useful. It also states that manufacturers recommend an 0.8C charge rate for the first charge stage which brings the battery up to around 80%. 0.8C on a 2300mAh battery is 1.84A. As far as I know, the charge rate is determined by the charging circuitry in the phone not on the external charger so whether there's any overcharging damage would depend on how that circuity is programmed. Certainly nothing in that article suggest that a charge rate of up to 1.8A should affect that battery's life. On a 2.1A Samsung charger, the peak current I was on my Nexus 5 was around 1.5A.
[Nexus 5 General] Superlolz:
Not that fast
