[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzsax1:
Dont agree with the Nexus argument at all... let me tell you that i have in my house 3 Nexus devices... 2 of them are Nexus 7 2013 models... and the other is the Nexus 5. only one device out of the three has zero problems whats so ever... how is it that some devices from the same line issues and others dont? i have the damn ghost touch problem with my nexus 7... its been hell... and yet my wife loves hers.... She an iphone user by the way... do you think this "beta testing customer" approach would fly if it was an IOS device..? why should we be..?

i dont see why people here tie Nexus with guinea pig testing or beta testers... no where in the devices page states that i would be prone to hardware and software hiccups and that i would help in the development of a mature os and hardware if i buy Google's device... that sounds more like cyanogen-mods operating model. this product is marketed to the masses and as such it should work right out of the box... the problems depicted with it are not like other OS that have wrong icon here and a misplace button there... we are talking crashing and half baked apps here as well as crappy hardware
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felnarion:
If you're going to try to pretend that previous nexus devices have had no issues for the sake of your argument, you can do that. Of course you'd be wrong, but that's up to you.

It's pretty well known that the first Nexus 7 had horrible laggy performance due to poor garbage collection combined with already slow writes. Screen lift and other build issues plagued the device. Software was better, but the only reason you don't hear about the software bugs is because they were relatively tiny, just like these. You won't hear about the fact that you couldn't search for packages with google now when the Nexus 6 comes out, people will have forgotten by then.

People wouldn't accept this from iOS, that's why everyone was so pissed about iOS7 which released as a buggy POS and is only now after a few updates getting better. Also worth considering that most of them paid 600+ dollars for their phones while a nexus is 350.

At any rate, the bugs I listed aren't deal breakers, and the hardware is of a fine quality. You either got burned by a defective unit, or you're a troll, but you're far from objective about the situation so I won't entertain you further.

No problems here at all. No crashes reboots or anything. I'm even running ART. Only problem I've had is one app that will not open and that's the Capitol one app. Worked on 4.3 but not on 4.4. Other than that no problems or bugs or anything at all.

No problems for me. I love kit kat. Very smooth and not a single FC. Love the phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jazd71:
Only issues I've had are with apps not optimised for KitKat crashing randomly, lag on the camera. Other than that its faster than snot off a chickens beak and fantastic value for money.

All it took for my phone to go from superb battery life to abysmal, was one silly widget and even after uninstalling and clearing the data my phone now uses 200% more power than before. I am going to square one today BUT come on! Why are some apps able to permanently screw things up?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prawnguevara:
There are bugs -

-share app defaults has a huge bug. default share app gets locked in across all apps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afazel:
It's a bit rough around the edges, but good overall. The biggest problems I've seen are the phone app locking up when the other person hangs up, and conference bridges in my contacts not sending the DTMF tones.

Google is working hard to fix these bugs, image KRT16S was pused out yesterday to the N4, N7 and N10. Not yet for the N5 though. http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-pushing-android-4-4-krt16s-to-the-nexus-4-7-all-and-10/.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scissors_cut_paper:
I actually came to the nexus 5 from a galaxy s2. I'm in the second camp of bug free nirvana with KitKat,and its a stark contrast to the experience I had with the Samsung; Exynos driver issues, terrible audio without software boosting and horrible stock firmware. To be honest I'm a little disappointed, I was hoping I'd have more I'd have to fiddle with. The only letdown(?) for me so far is that I've had no reason to change from stock. (Give or take root/twrp/nova launcher)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzsax1:
Its doesnt matter what you think about me... Clearly you seem to be a conformist and are accustomed to be happy with sloppy seconds if you think this phone is ok with the issues i have (not saying you have them and if you do you should say something and not take camps here) for

$424 which is what i paid out the door...

for those who can read and discern. my point here is the lack of consistency to a degree considering the nature of electronics. IOS had bugs, but consider that most of them have gone noticed by most users... im not an apple user but i have to applaud apple for patching their os's as fast as they do... you can argue that they only have one base platform to work with. but so is Google with the Nexus line... But calling IOS7 a POS is a little extreme... dont you think? my wife wants an iphone 5s and im trying to sell the Nexus argument that way we can save some money in the process. She is still has an iphone 4 with ios 7.0.3 and she is happy... This is a device that is 2+ years old and can still run the latest OS although not with all the bells and whistles but can run it fine... right now as is th Nexus 5 is a tough sell against someone that has a device running IOS7 other that price... Experience to the user is where any device succeeds and hardly is the case with the Nexus... i wish is was the other way around but i cant cover the sun with one finger...

i called Google last night and opted to get replacement just to give this device the benefit of the doubt. out of three, i have ONE nexus 7 without any issues...! NONE! what was done on that one that wasn't possible on the others i beyond me...! how can you explain that some devices are flawless and others are not...? i can understand manufacturing flaws seep onto production devices here and there and from time to time you will find a device that is flawed... but so far of three i own there are two devices in my possession with issues... according to Felnarion's logic, its ok to have a screen that jumps, taps, zooms on its own will ruining your overall experience of the because it is Nexus device and that is what it entails when you buy one. Thats as dumb as buying car with steering issues and keeping it like that without saying anything about it to the dealer...

i understand that this is a Nexus 5 forum and yet here we find the same inconsistencies that some users are happy with what they have (their opinions) and others are completely dissatisfied (again, opinion)... Some people here take camps and defend it like if others were insulting someones mother. which is not the case. Get real people (Those who jab and hide) The OP posted an open-ended question and im not afraid to voice my experience and opinion. NONE! im not in anyones band camp here and again, just voicing my experience and opinion and the least one can do is respect that unless of course respect for someones opinion is non existent in your book... So again, decided to get a replacement and give the device another chance... Maybe it is my device and luck had it for me to get a F' up one... Time will tell...

just saying...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzsax1:
yeah... i did had that problem with skype not sending DTMF commands but i was able to fix it using Franco Kernel... so far Franco's Kernel has dampened some of the issues... No more random reboots... still have most of the other issues... but at least it is not rebooting anymore...

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------

im on that same boat... i think the sound of the speaker phone of the S2 had better definition and was louder than the Nexus 5... i have so many issues with the 5 so far it hasn't been pretty. have been able to find some fixes for some issues and some other issues just remain... the hunting for fixes is the one thing i wanted to avoid with the Nexus 5...

Maybe it is my phone... replacement is on the way...

ART is still work in progress atm by Google and a lot of apps are not yet optimized for ART. So for testing and trying its good but as in daily usage i would stick with Dalvik for now.

I have had no problems with ART runtime. One game I like wasn't compatible. I would suggest try it out.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
Is it noticeably faster? Smoother? Better battery etc to be worth even trying?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] special.k:
I have found ART to be noticeably faster in app scrolling and overall load times. Poorly coded apps that have known to lag since the beginning of time now are smooth as butter. When I switched back from ART to dalvik I became somewhat disappointed because I got used to the phenomenal speed of the N5 on ART. The device still fly's on dalvik but is faster on ART, no question. Stability has been fantastic as well.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmhumtex97:
I switched to ART a few days ago and its been blazing fast and no problems. I've had 1 game that doesn't work but its not a big deal. Its stable and I'm gonna use it everyday
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phazmos:
There is a thread that is starting to list apps that don't like art. I'm a hardcore tib user and art breaks tib, so I stay away. Performance is better, here and there, but I find using the right kernel and rom will match art smoothness.

My combo right now is psx and Franco. Very nice.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:

The pros outweigh the cons.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotzaDroid:
I've been on ART for a little over a week without any issue. Like other have said, the scrolling is a huge improvement. App load times are faster too.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scissors_cut_paper:
Likewise. Running for a week now,had to find an ART optimised version of whatsapp,aside from that I've had no problems. Phone is quicker,especially scrolling, and especially xda premium app! Having said that, I run my phone with very few apps on it,so I'm less likely to meet bugs than average I guess.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
Does SwiftKey keyboard work for you? Also do you have a link for the WhatsApp?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizard7926:
What specifically did you have issues with on SwiftKey?

I'm on ART and the only problem I've run into is the same as on Dalvik, which is pressing space does not automatically insert the highlighted word without first typing a letter.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
The app vanished from being installed and then wouldn't install afterwards.

Also my back key wouldn't work
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberPonk:
My swiftkey does not work as well. It simply does not open a keyboard at all, no FC, no popup... nothing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
If you were to use optimized Dalvik libs it's faster than ART at this stage, at least until ART is the default runtime in Android.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxdil:
Have you tried using the optimized Dalvik libraries? In my case, after doing so it was as smooth as it was on ART without the incompatibility issues.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
SwiftKey updated the other day. You probably just need to re choose it as a keyboard

Hi Guys,

Tried searching but can't find anything.. On my old SGS4 (running ASOP 4.3) when I used voice dialling I would initiate with:

Call Bob, Mobile (or whatever number)

It would then playback over the headset:

Call Bob - Mobile

say OK/ Cancel

My N5 doesn't appear to do this (it does display the confirmation on the screen)? The reason this is a problem is my motorbike headset, my phone is in my bag/ pocket so I can't see the phone and have no idea who I'd be calling!

Any suggestions?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwachowiak:
Hi Guys,

1 month ago I chaged my HTC ONE into Google Play Edition. Then Yesterday I wanted to get it to stock sense.

What I did:

*) restore CID to HTC__032 (do not know if it is right CID, network: P4 play for Poland)

*) restore stock via TWRP

*) downgrade bootloader from 1.54 to 1.44

*) locked (reveone)

*) S-On

Now, my phone got always bootoader with a msg: "Security Warrinig"

Canno go to recovery - phone always reboots. System doesn't start.

I'm assuming that to repair my phone the first thing I have to do is S-OFF. I cannot do this via HTCDEV unlock file, every time when i fire "fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin"

file is successfully sent and that's all. "Swipe - unlock" screen doesn't appear. As we know ADB PUSH won't work in fastboot mode.

How I can transfer reveone file into internal storage to get my phone s-Off again and corretley flash a bootloader (1.54)?

Regards.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
so let me get this straight:

1- S-On

2- LOCKED

3- No functioning ROM

if yes, you're pretty much stuck :(

did you get a new unlocktoken from HTCdev or are you using the old one. try registering a new account with HTCdev and get a new unlock file.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rwachowiak:
yes, I have tried - no success.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frask3r:
At first, the HTC Dev Unlock does NOT give you S-Off. It just unlocks your bootloader. And why did you change your CID if you didnt know if it was the right one? Google will help you to find the right one.

In case this IS the right one, I dont think you need S-Off as you're able to flash a new Recovery without S-Off. Try HTC aio Tool for example or via adb/fastboot flash. If this worked you'll be able to flash a new firmware.

Good Luck :)

I did delete everything on my internal sdcard. Cause i want to make it as new to give it to my girlfriend. But when i did that. Its stopped working. I've tried to use all in one kit by squabbi. But it won't work to change boot or anything. Maybe i did smt wrong.

When i turn on my htc one. Its stuck in boot. White screen with htc logo on it. I cant even turn it off again. I have to wait when the battery its empty. And then i can turn it on to fastboot. Before all that. I came into recovery and then its stands no OS on the phone.

But after i yried to fix it by myself then it will not be able to even touch the recovery. I push the screen,but nothing happend. I think i did it worse or smt. Pleas help if somebody can. It would be great. :)

Which "swipe-unlock" screen are you talking about in unlocking bootloader.

When using RUU zip try more than once sometimes it takes 2 - 3 tries to work
