[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperMiguel:
now i currently have an htc one with a cracked screen and i want to replace it.. Im an att user and well can get the s4 for like $150 but can always sell it buy the nexus and still have money left.. But one of the main issues i had with the HTC one is that no one! made accessories for it... like i was never able to find a waterproof cover, etc etc.. Im a bit worry that it will be the same with the nexus 5, that because it is not as popular it wont have many accessories
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trendiggity:
The only thing I miss is the AMOLED screen from my S3. It's a far better quality of colour reproduction. The N5 is a bit washed out.... but it is far sharper. Oh... and the camera SUCKS on the N5 in anything but perfect lighting conditions. I miss the shutter speed on the Samsungs. But this should be fixed in the next update.

Battery life isn't nearly as bad as I was lead to believe.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gedster314:
I like my S4 better. My S4 has better reception, I stripped off the extras I did not like. I currently have a 4.4 rom on my S4 so spare me the updates line, I unlocked it and added the TMobile band. What I hate about N5 is the body. Its a nightmare. Sharp edges where the glass meets plastic, the lens mount, power button is too high, feels cheap and feels horrible in my hand. As for price, with etf+tax+1st month, my S4 was only $30 more. Not much in savings

It's not a bad device once you get past the body, seems plenty fast, takes ok pics, battery life is ok. So it's not horrible and is starting it's life with top end hardware specs unlike the N4. It's just not for me. If it came in a similar body to the N4 or would have shaped the glass like the S3, it would have been a home run.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synyster06Gates:
From the S3? I had 2 of those and came to this. Not even comparable. The N5 destroys the S3 in EVERY way. Low light pictures, sunny day pictures, the camera is better on the N5. The S3 is supersaturated and does not reproduce color accurately at all.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crash_194:
I've had a n4, s4 and now have n5. Think they are all brilliant phones. I think I can certainly feel the performance on the n5 though and I really like the screen. It has such an understated no frills look about it and that really appeals to me. I loved the s4 but it was a bit blingy for my liking and I didn't feel like it was so much as a blank canvas as what the nexus 5 is if that makes sense.

Alo also trying to get into custom room and apps development... Is there any advantages on using the nexus instead of the samsung? I
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallingd0wn:
I'm on my 2nd day with the 5 coming from an S4 running and early CM build of Kit Kat. So far, the only thing I really miss about the S4 is the screen. I guess I'm used to that super saturated AMOLED display. The Nexus display is sharper but like some others have said, a little washed out looking by comparison. The Nexus is noticeably faster and the battery life is about the same which is impressive considering I had a 3000mah battery in the S4. I think I'll be sticking with the 5 mostly for the dev community. I've always been a fan of straight AOSP and can't stand the OEM skins. The Nexus will be much more future proof than the S4. Getting new versions of Android on the Samsung will always be a bit hacky.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperMiguel:
any issues running this phone on att? and how come only tmobile and sprint got it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicecuber:
My S4 had better/stronger signal and a more HD intensive screen. I don't know how to explain it.

My N5 is faster definitely, but camera is kind of laggy though. The vibration motor is weaker, but still good.

Depends on budget, I'd go for a Note 3 over S4 for the price range.

But for $350, there is nothing better than the Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjs2011:
I think this is a great comment. Coming from the Sprint S4, for some reason, the dev community never really sped up like I thought it would. Sure, there were some great ROM's, but it was pretty much between a couple Touchwiz ROM's and hoping that 3minit would work, or you had AOSP based ROM's where you were happy to have working data.

While working data on Sprint with some ROM's is an early challenge, it doesn't look like it will be an issue long term (there's already a flashable fix) and we already have a wide variety of ROM's available.

I definitely don't miss Touchwiz whatsoever.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperMiguel:
Im eligible with att for upgrade, so i can get the S4 for like $150, either way ill get it... Then sell it and back the rest, while i care about dev, im more worried about accessories availability, like for example a waterproof cover, i take my phone alot in my boat, and its wet alot..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funksoulbrother:
I am starting to have regrets as I'm having issues with push notifications that I can't resolve. I might end up having to return the phone for a refund. If that issue can be fixed though, then I would have no regrets at all. I think the Nexus 5 is an otherwise great phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicecuber:
Funny you say that, because my first S4 was water damaged in a boating incident lol. it was deemed unrepairable by 5+ cell phone repair shops. So I purchased a Note 2 afterwards. Sold that and bought another S4. I loved that device too much. My device was then stolen so I had to use a old POS non-smartphone for 2 months. I couldn't see myself spending another $600+ to buy another S4. So I jumped on buying a nexus 5. I love the Nexus 5 now. 1080p 5inch screen quad core processor 2gb ram to name a few.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cas8180:
I have the n4 and s4 sitting next to me currently my s4 is on sprint while my n5 is on straight talk att. And I can tell you IMO that my n5 in ALL areas is better than both devices. One area that is extremely noticeable is the all around speed and smoothness of the n5 when compared to the other phones. Also typing and touch seems a lot more responsive on this device as well. Often times I would find typing on the s4 to be choppy and laggy and often couldn't keep up. And I am running the latest official 4.3 release from sprint all stock. Tried swapping keyboards too on it and its just not the same as the n5. I do a ton of multi tasking on my phone. And this is where the n5 really shines. I can jump between texting and surfing the web and checking emails without a single hitch. And I really love that. I have owned all the major Samsung phones and after the n4 I have been pretty much hooked on nexus devices. As for the camera I actually find it on par with my s4 a lot of people talk about shutter lag but I find the shutter speed to be about the same as it is on the s4. So not much of a difference there. And in a lot of my low light shots my n5 out performed my s4. So all around I am a pretty happy camper. Oh and service on at straight talk is so much better than sprint for me. I get consistent LTE everywhere.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
From reading the more in-depth reviews the Nexus 5 screen has some of the most accurate colours on an LCD beating out iPhone models even which are known for their calibration. It however does not have as high of a contrast ratio as even the LG G2 or the saturated colours AMOLED screens are known for. That mixed with the slightly smaller usable screen space when including the Home bar on the N5 would give the S4 the brighter and more stand out screen at first glance and on store shelves.

Myself I prefer accurate colours versus over saturated ones and only use high brightness settings when being used in direct sunlight. That being said after seeing AMOLED's "completely off" black levels (and the features it can bring such as Glance support and 24/7 Daydream) no black screen on IPS can ever look as dark.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caribouxda:
I hated how weak the s4 would feel. I was afraid to put it in my pocket becausw it would break. And i hated the screen. You could see there were 2 0arts of the screen and the digitixer was glued under a piece of plastic. While with the nexus everything is so nice. I know in 4 months I will get bored of aosp roms and miss some tw features but whatever there is time till then.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperMiguel:
i just found out that the S4 is at a very bad spot at the moment, if you have their latest baseband you cant use custom kernels, etc.. So that may lean me more towards the s5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psommerfeld:
Coming from the S3 here ...

I read all the N5 reviews while my N5 was getting ready to ship and I was going to cancel the order when I read the bad camera, battery and speaker reviews. I'm sooo glad I didn't cancel it.

Way better battery life.

I have no issues with the camera so far. If the pic is too dark, without about 5 finger taps in their crappy app you can auto-adjust contrast between 4 settings and first setting looks better than I imagine.

I don't know much about the speaker, but phone calls do sound quiet. I'll see how that goes over time. S3 had a saturation-clip so I couldn't even record properly

Here's some unexpected things I REALLY like:

- I'm always using "ok google", don't have to fish for the google now screen. WAY better voice recognition, I can actually write emails without touching my phone now (I realize this won't be N5-specific soon)

- lock screen widgets (not N5 specific, I know)

- CLEAN FAST interface, just love it. I can actually use the task switcher without lag

- no mechanical home button

- $350 for all this!!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicecuber:
lol well of course the N5 is miles ahead of the S3... but it is similar to an S4 (arguably)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrro82:
No way. I miss what could have been with my S4 had AT&T not locked it down so tightly. I've never owned a phone for such a short amount of time. Such a shame but now i know. Nexus from now on if I want total control of my phone.

Sent from the jaws of my Hammerhead!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psommerfeld:
Ya I hear you. But if the S4 has TouchWiz which I'm sure it does I think the N5 is already ahead (and I'm no longer into rooting and modding to get what I want).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantvis:
I like Nexus 5 better then S4 which I used for a couple of months, but I think build quality was better on S4 and I have that I got screen scrached on my nexus in 4 days of usage and no scratches on S4 in 2 months of usage.. Cheaper materials maybe?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
Got my N5 yesterday and I'm loving it EXCEPT for the battery life. It's noticeably a good deal worse than my S4. At least the phone seems to charge really fast.

I have to say, the screen is much, much better than I expected after reading all the horror stories in these forums. It doesn't look washed-out at all. The colors are really natural looking and there's not a hint of the yellowing that some people have posted about. Also, viewing angles are actually really good. I'm pleasantly surprised, especially coming from the S4 which now looks dim and unnatural by comparison.

And holy crap, this phone is fast. Much, much snappier than the S4. The camera isn't anywhere near as slow as everyone seems to be posting, and the photo quality is also good. Either I got lucky or people are really nitpicky.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myprecious27:
Coming from S3 - headphone sound quality is worse with N5, my Phonak headphones are merciless, S3 is significantly better.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdp:
Couple regrets - battery life is poor and the build is only so-so. I feel like I rushed into buying it. The question is what else would I get? Not going to downgrade to an S600 phone. A Note is too expensive without subsidy. The G2 is the only other thing out there.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandeep148:
I sold my s4.. Thinking to buy n5.. Worrying about sound only.. Is nexus 5 earphone device output really bad?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
In my opinion, no. I'm not an audiophile or anything, but it sounds exactly the same to me as any other phone I've ever owned.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandeep148:
Can u comparison its sound with other device..?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
To my ears, it sounds exactly the same as the GS4 I'm getting rid of. Again, I'm not an audiophile, so maybe there are differences that I can't perceive. It sounds fine to me though. I also don't have the external speaker issues with my N5 that so many others seem to be having.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeimygirl:
It may not matter, but I did come from the Galaxy family, S2. No regrets here! Although I was a couple years behind so a lot of upgrades would be better. I haven't had the need to root like I did the S2

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texasboylaw:
In my opinion the sound quality is bad. I have the g2, s4 and the nexus 5 right here on the table and the G2 and s4 are better. The only thing I like about the nexus is the price and it feels better in my hands. The battery isn't to bad but it's not good either. The people who say the battery is better then the s4 are lying lol but its not bad tho. My G2 is my daily driver now
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
If you're talking about the external speaker, there is a known issue with the N5 when using certain apps such as Google Music. Using headphones, it sounds exactly the same as the S4 to me.

After a year with Cyanogen Jellybean, I turned back with GB: I re-love the amoled bright screen, the stock Samnsung Camera performances, but above all , the low battery drain !!!

JW9 and JWB firmware have same performance of a JW7 GB galaxy s firmware , so i modified some DMORE 3.5 ROM bug and I added new customizations in JB/ICS Style.

Also I developed a new KErnel already included on this update (Thread here: link)

- ASAP Gingerbread keyboard skinned for ICS (Thanks Ghost - link)

- Porting some Ring tones and notifications tones from Cyanogen & Samsung S3 firmwares

FIXS from previous DMORE 3.5 ROM

Now you have No Wipe Version of DMORE 3.6 ROM

Hi David,

I've flashed version 3.6 twenty minutes ago and unfortunately there are problems:

Moments after touching something, for example in settings, my phone freezes and is rebooting. Reflashing brought no changes.

Ah.....moment, I've flashed from JVU, maybe that is the problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] davidmore:
Yes If i don't error JVU firrmware is not compatible with Value PAck's Firmwares (JW5/6/7/8/9/B)

So, reflash again a stock (JW5/6/7/8/9/B) firmware, then flash a kernel (ie. DMore.kernel or ChainFire or Semaphore) and then

with CWM recovery install DMORE version 3.6 :good:

Ok, Install before a stock Samsung firmware JW5/6/7/8/9/B are good; after that, you must also do a Factory data reset + Format USB storage

(in Setting Menu go Privacy-->Factory data reset + flag on USB format). Finally install DMORE 3.6 ROM

Of course you lose all your data , but now, your google play service work ;)
