[Nexus 5 General] fr4c:
My hands are pretty clean throughout the day but its inevitable that fingerprints/oil will show up more on a black device regardless of the materials they used on the back.

My primary concern with the black model is the soft-touch materials itself, as I'm afraid of long-term durability of the material wearing or rubbing off. If they used the same materials for the black one like they did on the white (smooth/semi-gloss) I'd probably would've gone with black as its much easier to clean and is less prone to absorb the oil from your hands. I find that any smudges that I get on my white version, a quick wipe on my pants or a microfiber cloth gets it looking like new. The black N5 on the other hand if it gets dirty enough, more effort is necessary to get it clean and sometimes a quick wipe doesn't do the job. I have to use a spray cleaner such as iClear to really clean the back because otherwise it gets smudgy.

I had both and ended up keeping the white just because it required less maintenance from me to keep it clean.
[Nexus 5 General] Birdsfan:
Black, once you go Black you never go......wait what was the question?
[Nexus 5 General] pgptheoriginal:
After holding both versions in my hands, and directly comparing them, I bought the white one: the black version really attracts fingerprints and dust; the N5's I handled were both two days old, but the black one seemed to be much older. What's more, on the rear cover of the black version the ugly certifications and disposal information for the battery are much more visible.
[Nexus 5 General] kevintstephens:
I got the black one. Something about having a two-tone smartphone bothered me. Plus I love the feeling of the soft touch back on the black one!
[Nexus 5 General] Derekwolfee:
White for me. I love how the sides are glossy and it looks as if the glass runs over the sides to the back. It is wonderful!
[Nexus 5 General] antisoma:
I go back and forth, this time black and I love it. Stealth phone.
[Nexus 5 General] Stay Frosty:
I bought the white. The glossy sides makes it look like the glass extends beyond the screen and down the sides of the phone. Gives it a very premium look. That's not to say there aren't downsides. Being glossy, it picks up every fingerprint. And I'm sure it's more slippery than the rubbery black version. On the plus side, the white back barely shows any fingerprints.

I also had plans of taking a sharpie paint marker to the white earpiece but it actually ended up growing on me. So it stays, for now. :)
[Nexus 5 General] letakomahieu:
The white is look good but easy to get dirty, if you planning to using case for your phone, it is not matter black or white.

White phone usually for girl , I like white phone too :p

But with nexus 5 I go black cauz it make me feel like a real man phone
[Nexus 5 General] MrBelter:
Given the nexus 5 is the size of a surfboard and lacks a shiny Apple I doubt that was ever going to happen
[Nexus 5 General] andrewlima:
Black

Just because of the way the sides look. Not sure if it's the right wording, but appeared more premium to me.
[Nexus 5 General] fr4c:
If the color of your phone makes you feel threatened about your manhood it's probably not your phone's fault to start with.
[Nexus 5 General] Endoran:
Actually, someone asked me if my white N5 was an iPhone. I took it as a compliment. The iPhone's do look damn sexy and premium. Also the fact that she said the phone looked good. I proceeded to inform them about the nexus phones tho.
[Nexus 5 General] kindrich:
I would have bought the white one if the white extended to the side as well, like the Nexus S, iPhone 3GS or 5C. Basically the perfect white phone for me is when looking from the back and the side, I shouldn't see any color other than white. Right now the glossy side makes the phone look cheap IMO. 3 generation later

And then there's that white earpiece --- what an eyesore, like a pimple on that sexy, stealthy pitch-black display.
[Nexus 5 General] JazzLobster:
I got the black one because I like the color better than white :D

but i also know that:

a) white would show dirt and scratches quicker in my ownership

b) i always have my phones in a case, because im clumsy, so it doesnt matter what color it is.
[Nexus 5 General] _jordan_:
Got black. Love the feel of the device. I hate glossy, reflective plastic.

So glad I didn't get white, which I had originally planned on getting.
[Nexus 5 General] notsointeresting:
Using Black. But I have a white case over it.
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
I got mine off Amazon. I had originally been planning to get the black version, but I was given a choice between free 2-day shipping for a white one and 5-week shipping for a black one. It was pretty much a no-brainer at that point. I wish my phone was a little grippier, but honestly I really do like having the white one. It's a little more distinctive.
[Nexus 5 General] Blackbox421:
Black. Much more elegant than white in my opinion :)

Gesendet von meinem GT-S5830 mit Tapatalk 2
[Nexus 5 General] _jordan_:
I would have made the same decision.

The two colors aren't that different. The plus with the white device is that it stands out. The plus with the black one is it's grippier.
[Nexus 5 General] rbs_uk:
Got white one for testing. Will get black one as it has matt finish which clearly attracts dirt. Give it a month and it will be grey not white.
[Nexus 5 General] lukas_s:
I've had my white one since Nov 5 and it's still just a white as the day I received it
[Nexus 5 General] rbs_uk:
If you work in office and have very clean hands, you can have it still white :) But I do some dirty work often and oily/dirty hands won`t keep it white.
[Nexus 5 General] WarRaven:
Black.

I like the grip, and do not like shiny plastic at all.

Shiny will show micro scratching long before the matte wears off this phone.

[Nexus 5 General] ndevries:
I love the look of the white one but ended up going with black + a white Spigen ultra thin case. It looks exactly like the white one, while stylishly protected :good:
[Nexus 5 General] Quiksilver78:
The white cover on the Nexus 5 always reminds me of KARR

For that reason, Black it is!

Go full white or not at all.

[Nexus 5 General] chris6278:
Once u go black u cant go back!
[Nexus 5 General] Hellrespawn:
Although I liked the look of the white one, I went with the black one because the bezel is made from the same soft plastic as the back, while the white one has a glossy plastic one, which is (slightly) more sensitive to fingerprints and scratches. Also, white things tend to get dirty and discolored more quickly than black things.
[Nexus 5 General] adz1966:
Black Nexus 5

I got the black mostly because it was available immediately from Amazon. The white was a 3 week wait. What I want to do tho, is throw a white back cover on it. I see the back covers for sale on websites, but they're still a little too pricey ($35 or so). Has anybody tried this?
[Nexus 5 General] liamwli:
I ordered the black for my birthday on Monday, simply because white phones don't look right.

As well as that, I don't like glossy finishes, and as the white version has 'glossy' sides, it isn't for me...

Looks like I'm a part of the majority :)

[Nexus 5 General] _jordan_:
I'm actually glad to see the results are so close in the poll. Having a choice is a good thing.

Its interesting how about half of us prefer black, and the other half prefer white. Shows you why apple only offered 2 iPhone color options for so long.
[Nexus 5 General] f0olyc0oly:
I got the black one. I would have gotten the white one but I preferred if it's all white not half n' half.

Black. I wouldn't get the white because of the glossy sides. Also, it looks like it's for girls.
[Nexus 5 General] nym27jrey:
Yeah I got the black because I didn't like the glossy sides of the white. I think white phones are for girls and I know that the white ear piece would annoy me lol. Plus on the black, the entire phone is made from the same soft material

Love the look of the white but can't get over the earpiece contrasting so sharply with the bezel.

Also T-Mo doesn't sell the white one and I need to buy through them as part of their upgrade deal so I'll be getting it in black.

I find the white ear piece to be functional. You actually know which way up your phone is every time. :cyclops:

I went with the 32gb white, no regrets. As bblzd said, I've also found the white earpiece functional in knowing which way up my phone is when I'd otherwise have no idea.

Good point.

I have to ask, does it confuse you a moment if led is flashing, which end is up?

[Galaxy Note II General] estugarda:
I wouldn't flash this ROM via ODIN. Some people reported installation failure and KNOX warranty void flags. Fix your Custom status with TriangleAway. Then you will be able to update over OTA, if it is already available for your provider. However, even so, I wouldn't recommend flashing this or updating. It has KNOX so you will not be able to go back if this is buggy, and you will not be able to root without loosing warranty.

Well, I'm not sure about raising the counter since I didn't try it myself. Some people reported it. Too early to tell.

It would be logical to make it so that it doesn't raise the flag for the first time. On the other hand, Samsung isn't really logical lately.

[Galaxy Note II General] tsk1979:
Thanks for your reply. I reset the counter via triangle away. But I am not sure how to fix custom status and then get OTA updata?
[Galaxy Note II General] estugarda:
As I said; I'm not sure about that, since I didn't try.

You should be able to flash it via ODIN. The question is; will it trigger the flag...? Some people said so. I don't know and certainly won't try. I'm waiting for knox-free...

Triangle Away should fix the status. You must reastart your phone any give it few minutes. It doesn't always work, but mostly yes. There are also few settings in Triangle Away. Allow tracker to run and System modified workaround. Experiment with those. And remember to leave your phone alone for few minutes before you check the status. There is a reason for that.

It certainly works for me. I'm rooted, and get OTAs.
[Galaxy Note II General] ViD0:
Im always on stock so i dont have to reset with triangle away so my q is still : "So that means that we cant use ODIN anymore to upgrade our officially FWs? Im on stock 4.1.2 and i want to upgrade to 4.3 via ODIN and my knox counter will be 1 ? thats a cr**"

waiting for someone to confirm or deny.
[Galaxy Note II General] mpcjanssen:
You can flash the ROM with Odin without issue (even if you have a modified device).

If you also install the new bootloader, you cannot downgrade the bootloader anymore and installing a custom recovery will trip the KNOX flag (I tried)

If you install the MJ5 bootloader instead, you can root and and install custom recoveries without tripping KNOX, but the KNOX container will not work (which I do find actually useful)

If you don't care about KNOX bit (e.g. you don't want to run the KNOX container) and you don't care about warranty, you can flash whatever you want.
[Galaxy Note II General] estugarda:
Also keep in mind that MJ5 bootloader has been reported to cause wifi problems and some glitches.
[Galaxy Note II General] ViD0:
i dont care about custom roms cause i dont have time for fu*** with that, so i find this usefull answer. Warranty is the only thing i matter so if you said so, i can flash this rom with odin without loosing it.:good:
[Galaxy Note II General] jdomadia:
Thanks
[Galaxy Note II General] mpcjanssen:
Just to cover my ass, I have installed the MK4 ROM on my modified device and the Knox warranty bit was 0 after that so still warranty. This does not necessarily mean it will work the same for you (although I would be surprised if it was different) So yes for *me* flashing with Odin worked fine.

Its when you try to flash a new rom or something through recovery that I think your knox counter will go to 0x1

How do u actually flash the firmware, cos tutorial are showing:

- Add BL_N7100XXUEMK4_2099172_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 to BL

- Add CP_N7100DDEMJ9_REV08_CL1423182.tar.md5 to CP

- Add CSC_ODD_N7100ODDEMK1_2099172_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5 to CSC

But there is only one file - which is the AP.

How do I add the other files and where can I get them?

Plus DashClock works now :D Many widgets are updated, specially calender widget is now green, which i like. Transparent status bar looks cool and there is finally a notification shade shortcut for Airplane mode.

On the flip side, Battery seems to be draining a little bit faster but that happens with such big updates. Will wait for it to subside. And i am getting sttuters some times here and there. Feels like phone is doing some heavy processing in the background.

Yeah, I'm wating this one out. Rooted via ODIN and managed to keep my flash counter 0. I plan to sell the phone on within 6 months so warranty is important to me. With Android 4.1 and Samsung features I don't bother with custom ROMS anymore. Xposed framework modules manages to give me the extras I need out of my phone.

It looks like a decent enough update though, a whole bevy of features AND a very recent version of android. A quick question though, do we get the new Samsung browser too??

Oh, and long last, we get acess to Wanam's xposed module! Another feather in the cap of people who customize the SGN2 extensively.
