White nexus 5 32gb ordered dec4 and no issues so far that I can find. Just that my power button is a little bit loose but thats not a real issue to me
[Nexus 5 General] jdk2:
Just got a black 32GB 310k unit new out of the box with no faulty buttons, squeaks, creaks, rattles, dead pixels, LTE connectivity issues, yellow/ blue/green screen coloring or any of the hundreds of complaints seen throughout this forum.

I put an AT&T GoPhone sim in the thing, unlocked the bootloader, rooted it, added xPosed and GravityBox and that was it.

Lucky? Maybe but it works and it's one of, if not the best phone I've ever owned.

Of course, around here, YMMV.
[Nexus 5 General] tonychau77:
Got a perfect 311k. Not a single dead pixel after checking for 5 minutes. Just a tiny dust particle under the screen protector. Speakers are loud enough for me. The buttons have no problems at all.
[Nexus 5 General] GGWC808:
Got a black 32 gb. Not noticed any major problems. Only thing is the vibration on my phone feels weak. That's it. As for GPS issue, haven't noticed any and I turn mine on and off all the time. No problems with my Wi-Fi or cell signal. Don't use Bluetooth so can't say anything about that. Battery last me the whole day of moderate use. Best phone I ever had.

And for people saying to run this app or that app to check for dead pixels and light bleed that otherwise wouldn't have bothered me, I ask why? If you don't notice it in normal operations, why go looking for problems?
[Nexus 5 General] jtwlbz:
I've ended up returning my white after 5 times Rma with all kinda problem. My black version is coming. Let's see what happens. Blacks are sold out earlier so it has small hardware fixes like tighter button.

i used to think i had a dead pixel in the middle of the upper half of my screen. but now im thinking it's a spec of dust. other than that, great unit
[Nexus 5 General] Blackbox421:

I live in Romania and I'm planning to buy a Nexus 5 from Italy's Play Store (got a lot of relatives and friends out there).

If my phone has dead pixels or anything, what is the maximum amount of time for me to return the phone and get a new one?

Hi ! I also live in Romania and i bought my Nexus 5 from Media Galaxy and i don't have problems with it excepting a little rattling of power button (common issue for 310K series i think )...but that's nothing.
[Nexus 5 General] w3wilkes:
2 Nexus 5's, completely trouble free for over 5 months now. I did find a problem that the phones are susceptible to RF interference if they are placed next to something that generates a lot of RF static, but I see that as a problem with the other device. In my case it was a charging Creative Labs Zen that was bugging my phone.
[Nexus 5 General] howard bamber:
Mine is perfect

From the wonders of mobile telephony.
[Nexus 5 General] Evo_Shift:
I voted perfect as I don't see minor light bleed as a defect. I see it as more a side effect of the way these phones are manufactured and it doesn't bother me at all.

I am also not counting the bug where data just drops for no reason since I think that is a google bug they are taking their sweet ass time fixing rather than hardware.
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
One year from the date of purchase. You also have about 2 weeks to return the device once you request the RMA.
[Nexus 5 General] burnstine:
99 problems, but the n5 ain't 1 (anymore)

Mine has been outstanding (unfortunatly):

Dead pixels, light bleed, button rattle and no 2G receiption at all.

THX LG warranty, all problem gone...
[Nexus 5 General] bitaktus:
Hardware: perfect

Software: connectivity issues (4G, missed calls, etc)
[Nexus 5 General] GldRush98:
I had letters peeling off the back and was denied RMA.

Then I had the sides start cracking around the power and volume buttons and the sim slot which "occasionally made button presses difficult", which got me approved for an RMA. I have no idea how the cracks developed as I baby my phone and never dropped it. I chalked it up to a manufacturing defect and felt an RMA was just.

I ordered my replacement along with a quick snap case from the Play store.
[Nexus 5 General] 350Rocket:
Maybe too soon to say, but it's my second day with my nexus 5 and I don't see any hardware faults.

The power button is a little bit wiggly but not a problem, it clicks nicely. The speaker is not as good as the original HTC desire which has one of the best speakers besides the HTC one but its way better than the HTC one s I gave to my friend.

No light bleed or dead pixels that I can see.

Phone call quality yet to be determined.
[Nexus 5 General] chrisinsocalif:
Phone is perfect for me other than some know software bugs. I am a very happy camper.

[Nexus 5 General] 350Rocket:
I'm a week in with my nexus 5. I just installed the 4.4.2 update yesterday. I really didn't have any issues before or after the update. The camera works fine.

Only issue is with call quality it seems like if you don't speak close enough to the mic the noise cancelation cuts out your voice.

Everything else is great and its the fastest phone I've used yet. I'm not rooting it until I'm 100% sure there are no faults and / or I get bored with stock and want some of the cm features again.
[Nexus 5 General] junglebungle:

Mine had a cellular-network-based location issue: the detected location used to jump from India to Singapore, from Malaysia to France within seconds, unless I switched Wi-Fi on, or launched an app which enabled GPS-based location.

The phone was replaced in december with a nearly perfect unit, affected by minor button rattling, which I can cope with :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EelResuah:
I'm no stranger to rooting and flashing ROMs, but this is a new one on me. I've had my Virgin Mobile Siii for several months and am pretty happy with it. However, I want to go to CyanogenMod. I also want to root and put a custom recovery on my phone.

My first problem is that I put TWRP on the phone a month or two ago, but when I try to boot into recovery, all I see is the <e3> recovery. I have a TWRP folder with a copy of a Nandroid backup on it, so it must have been there, right? Anyway, to try to figure this out, I downloaded ROM Manager (free version). It says I have both TWRP and Clockwork recoveries on the phone, and trying to have it set me up to use or update either one goes nowhere. Superuser says I'm not rooted.

What I'd prefer to do is get a working root and TWRP recovery on the phone -- I've used it with both an EVO 4G and HTC One V I had in the past and I'm comfortable with it, though if I have to use CWM I can. Then I'd like to use the new CyanogenMod installer if I can be sure it's compatible with the phone. My baseband/build version numbers end with MG2, so I know the phone might be slightly different than a Sprint SIII, but from my exploring the forums here and on other sites it seems to be pretty compatible.

This uncertainty of whether or not I have a custom recovery on the phone makes me very leery of trying to flash a new one without a second opinion. Can anyone help or give me guidance on this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdsingle76:
Have you went here and used this method? I would first flash all that way back to stock unrooted on pc Odin to get rid of all the clutter. And if it were me, I wouldn't use ROM manager either. It says Sprint in the link, but everything is the same.

Hi guys, so I just got an S3 i747 AT&T coming from iPhone 4s.

I already have it rooted and would like to load a room as close to stock as possible. I really liked the Moto X however, the camera was terrible... I would like to get that experience..

What's most important to me is battery life. I would like to get the most batteyr life possible. Can someone recommend a rom? I was thinking one of the Cyanogenmod ROMs. I thought that 10.2 version is the stable one but it seems that only 10.1 is stable? Would appreciate some advice.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shortydoggg:
This should be in the Q&A section.

New ROM suggestion threads tend to get closed very quickly around here by the moderators, as there have been entirely too many that often turn into "what's the best ROM, or just pit one ROM against another.

You should always look in the development section, as there are plenty of ROMs there that you might like. Also, every phone is different, so what might work great on one phone might not work the same on yours. You have plenty of Roms in the development section that you can try, so that you can determine whats the best ROM for you. Just read up on them before flashing and follow their directions, and you should be OK.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] johndoe12:
Thanks so much. I didn't realize this was against the forum rules...

There are so many roms there! I was just asking in terms of battery life or which one you would suggest for someone coming from an iPhone platform.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
Android is definitely not iPhone. As far as best battery life refer to the advice given. Try various ROMs that look appealing to you until you find one that is acceptable on your terms.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:
Quantum ROM would be the best for your battery buddy.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
Well, as previously stated, users are expected to do their own research and make their own determination as to what rom is best for them.

All the roms here are the best, try them all.

Hello everybody !

I would like to install Android Kit Kat Factory Image on my rooted Nexus 4 with custom recovery CWM, but I'm not sure about how to do that...

I also use SuperSu app to manage root privileges.

Thanks a lot for any help !

factory img only gets flashed with fastboot. then youll have to flash your recovery again, and supersu for root. it does not get updated via your recovery, only custom roms in zip form do.

Hi folks,

This may seem like a daft question, but sadly I obsess about such things.

I just noticed that when my headphones are plugged into my Nexus 5, the plug isn't vertical - it is angled slightly to the left. In other words, it does not sit dead vertically when compared to the phone.

I'd appreciate knowing whether other people's are the same or whether my headphone socket hasn't been fitted properly.

Any feedback gratefully received!

Cheers.

Mine does look to be just a tiny bit slanted to the left. Never would have noticed it otherwise. Don't think it's an issue. But I'm sure someone will be filling an RMA because of it. :silly:

It's obviously that way because of the curve the phone has at the top. Headphone jack is just perpendicular to the surface.

To start off,

i would like to say im not some kind of paranoid freak who thinks the gov or ordinary people around me is spying on me.. lol

Im fairly new to this android world, and got this phone, less than a month ago. from a ... doubtful friend.

The phone always booted twice on startup, and it installed apps with out telling me like "Muted camera".,,which i caught probally by rebooting the

phone right after reset. and a error popping up, that the install file was invalid.

I rooted it (I think.. I rooted it.. or could be PRE rooted. Never checked) ,

checked system but couldn't find out anything useful..

i deleted all the dalek? cache and factory reset, formatted external sd in cwm

but still.. freaked out when i found out that my personal files.. such as photos videos were still present (was on the internal memory)

the external, was formatted..

so i got the lg firmware update on pc

put the kdz file,

settings were:

3g QCT & mode was CS emergency

ran it in Download mode.

Still.. this seemed to only reset the system settings..

the phone itself wasn't wiped..

However, after i reset it with kdz file

The security? error of some sort popping up between the two reboot, was gone. however the two reboot was still present,.

Before;

Turn on phone => security error, (in terminal typed ..interface with black background) => phone shutdown => boot again automatically => LG logo => turn on

After the kdz file recovery:

Turn on phone => Lg logo => phone off => on again automatically with lg logo => lg boot animation and normal booting

Now, my ram and battery usage is still abnormal.

resetted the phone in software os level, (in settings)

Nothing.. seems to help

any.. suggestions?;;

Hey,

I've got an XDA Mini S with the original O2 ROM. I've heard that the XDA can't use other ROMS very easily because the keyboard mapping is different to all the other Wizard variants? Is this true?

If not, which ROM is the best? Is it the new T-Mobile one?

i'm better with it now. the screen took some getting used to. going to sell my S4. i'm done with lock-tight bootloaders. really getting used to the device. it carries its weight. i'm on faux's kernel and the cataclysm rom. cant say anything but good stuff about both and how well the device is performing on them. thats my 2 cents. in case you hadnt heard, when you're in twrp and you wipe (full, partial, etc), reboot recovery and then flash. users have problems getting zips to install without the reboot between wiping and flashing. its a recovery bug atm. cheers

The image file is directly off the TeamWin web site. I just put it in zip, flashable file.
[Nexus 5 General] crispi7:
The prooblem I found is this command (obviously, it's the only one xD):

package_extract_file("openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-hammerhead.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7");

The "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7" is for pad, the recovery is in "/dev/block/mmcblk0p20". Also you can use "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery" that is easier to understand.

So the command fixed should be:

package_extract_file("openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-hammerhead.img", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery");

I will test it and tell if that solves the problem

I took WugFresh's toolkit, downloaded the 2.6.3.0 .img, changed in my settings of the toolkit to use custom recovery (the .0 version), flashed it (which also re-roots your device, needed or not), and then everything was fixed... That's the route that I took, as even on .1, the rebooting between wipe and flash didnt even work for me... MIght save some people some headaches 'til we can verify .2 fixes the issue.

phones been fine for 440 hours (uptime since last time this happened) - since i lost the virtual keys last time and had to use sonys software to reinstall everything.

now after a reboot this happened again. disabled all xposed mods and the menus returned but now with orbot and folder mount running i had endless reboots. only after uninstalling the other 2 apps did this stop.

anyone else had anything like this?

wish i had recovery - stupid win8 and locked bootloaders
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
sony update service with full wipe.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tommo123:
did that last time. 2 weeks later happened again. stopped when i made changes mentioned in OP
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Looks like you've been using an incompatible Xposed module or possibly other mod(s). Install them one by one again and see what triggers the crash (if you feel like re-flashing your ROM again)

Btw, it's fully possible to unlock your bootloader using Win8. It's a little wonky, but it's possible (unless your bootloader is unlockable). Or you know, you can install Recovery for locked bootloaders, but you can't flash custom ROMs, but you can make NAND backups.

A little off topic: I installed uTorrent yesterday since i had to download a torrent, and after i was done with it and uninstalled it, my ZU crashed and rebooted. Once it booted up again it crashed again, and again and again. Luckily i had a NAND backup on my SD card, so that problem solved itself, but lesson learned; no uTorrent anymore.

"Fun" fact: This also happened with uTorrent on my Galaxy Note.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tommo123:
i thought that last time so after the last wipe i did just that. enabled them one by one and a reboot after each one.

very weird. all up an running again, same xposed modules running and no probs after a reboot.

i used utorrent on my note 2 and that was fine. very odd.

i really need to get around to getting a recovery going
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Recovery is not a problem once you're rooted. Go to this thread, download and run the file, press "Oui oui, mademoiselle" or something like that and voila, you got Recovery. Easy peasy. It'll take you five minutes. Just remember to make a NAND backup once it's up and running. It's a life saver, as you already know.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tommo123:
ah, i kept this thread open

but was sure in another thread it mentioned problems with windows 8 as you have to disable driver signature verification or something.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yup! Good going mate! I see you made it without any issues :)
