What I'd like is any sort of docking adapter than can take both a USB data connection and a mains power connection at the same time. This would allow the Wizard to charge up quickly from the mains adpater when the computer is turned off, but when the PC is on it would sync without having to worry about swapping cables over.

Anyone know of such a device?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] chrisredmayne:
Anyone know any other cheaper sites for one of these? I really want one but Im not sure if Id use it much as the speakers are quite loud on the MDA anyway. How much louder do they play in the docking station?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] jok3sta:
I dont think you are goin to find it any cheaper than this. its pretty cheap as it is. it id way louder than the mda. but what makes it better is the quality of the sound. the sound is a lot clearer and has more bass
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] Nerdino:
I bought mine from Expansys but I can not seem to find it for sale there anymore?

Unfortunately for me the charging function of the device no longer works! I can manage to hotsync and play music through the speakers, but the greatest use I got out the device was in charging it up - I have no idea how to go about fixing it. I have to use the charger that came with my phone (which works fine) or charge it by connecting to the USB port of my PC. What a blow! :roll:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] blackobsidian:
Occasionally the USB just dies on mine and the blue light goes out. It's normally when I'm removing the device from the cradle but it's a pain to have to mess around with unplugging USB, replugging it in Pc yada yada
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] bassoprofundo:
Anybody using this with an 8125? I'm assuming that since it fits the MDA, it will fit the 8125 ok, right?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] tcd2004:
I second that question. I was looking at this music dock before i saw this topic posted and was reluctant to buy it since it showed the k jam in it and i think the 8125 is a little bit more sqaured off than the k jam...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] jok3sta:
i will try to find out for you guys. my buddy has a 8125 so if i can reach him i will let you know
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] antebr:
I ask for a favor.

I need someone who lives in the UK, to buy "Universal Power Kit In Asphalt" in the nook store.

I'll pay the money via paypal to his account immediately (price+shipping to croatia).

After you get the "Universal Power Kit In Asphalt", you should send it to me in Croatia.

If someone is willing to help I asked him to send me a pm.

thanks

dropped you a pm....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooksyx:
I love my new nexus 5. The hardware is amazing. But it stops there. Kit Kat is complete junk. Keeps on crashing. Things like YouTube doesn't even work correctly. My signal keeps dropping. So many features missing. It just feels like Google rushed in making the latest version. Anyone else feel this way?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
Nope. Everything works smooth and fast for me
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogem_kk:
99% of the time all is good BUT you know this is a NEXUS device?! We are the beta testers. There will be issues.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamelton:
nope.. nexus 5 plus kitkat make the killer android experience..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DreamLinker:
Everything works well to me, no problems, i think that it's definitely better than JB 4.3.

I come from a Gnex.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
I've actually found that apps like Facebook and anything that requires scrolling really works much more smoothly on the Nexus 5. In terms of the OS, I must say I haven't really enountered any bugs myself, apart from Google Services using up 30% of my battery.. but I think I have fixed that now. I am really happy, and so is my 41 year old mother that has one too :silly:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synyster06Gates:
I've had none of those problems.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I too have yet to find a bug. I admit that I do expect bugs, but not really found one yet,.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] westentertainer:
everything very nice here thank you
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stylus_XL:
My only issue with Kit Kat and the Nexus 5 has been with Location Reporting - other than that Kit Kat feels slick and polished. Haven't experienced anything you of the issues you complained about.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wifesabitch:
Overall it's been great. Very fast and smooth.

YouTube and Google Now are the only things giving me problems so far. Google Now is worse on KitKat for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robert Hodgson:
No issues so far
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piratefinn:
I've no problems so far. It has captured bug reports at times, but for what I never checked. Feels like an upgrade to jelly bean for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzsax1:
Try doing a force media scan. I bet the process will crash...

Try changing radio bands via *#*#4636*#*# under phone information menu. i bet i will crash...

try selecting an mp3 as alarm ring-tone.. using the app best alarm you cant were as before with jelly bean you could...

try watching netflix without earbuds... you can barely hear it..!

the phone over heats when using wireless charging pads.

exchange processes crash all the time

spontaneous reboots galore

speakerphone sound just sucks

colors are washed out...

if its true that this is a phone for beta testers, the Google shouldn't market it for the main stream buyers like me. i just want a nice phone (hardware wise this phone is) that works...

returning the Nexus 5 today and going back to Samsung even if it costs double the money. My galaxy s2 lasted me around 3 years and cant complain about it...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synyster06Gates:
Responses in bold. Maybe you should re flash the stock image and see if that fixes any of your problems. I have literally had NONE of the problems you mentioned. And this screen destroys the S3s in every single way.

That happens when you push vol up + vol down + power at the same time. There are a lot of issues with cases making this happen. Still trying to find a way to disable it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
ive had force closes. but whatever. it's a very nice phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbarbi:
No issue for now whit stock rom, very few FC with custom rom, fine by me
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbdan:
Not at all. Polar opposite. It's the most polished android os yet imo

NX5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velveteen71:
Well, my issues are:

a) Screen wakes for no apparent reason from time to time. Cannot pinpoint a trigger.

b) Google Services using plenty of battery, as well as just last night, on airplane mode, 11% 'Device Idle' usgae in 7 hours.

c) Sound on video recordings is EFFED.

Other than these, overall I am happy. I am confident updates will fix these.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
not for beta testers per se... but nexus started as development phones and kinda a guide for manufacturers. samsung never followed that guide which has made the development communities rather frustrated, but why should they, samsung make cpu's that do more per clock cycle than the competition, unless you buy a usa phone where they just use the same processors as the competition.

samsung makes fantastic hardware. if i had an i9100 with nfc i'd be using it today with it's low res screen and all. perfect phone. not too big, and basically defined all phones after it, from nfc, to usb OTG, to mhl. it was a great phone then they went all crazy with the rom on the s3 and s4.

even the samsung nexus phones weren't quite what their own line were.

the nexus brand is a bare feature set that manufacturers can work from. and lg makes a pretty piss poor build quality (opinion, some say the same about samsung, those people are wrong of coarse :D ), but i like the feature set without it getting gimmicky (but s-beam is cool, makes more sense to use wifi with nfc being more of a trigger, android beam seems like they missed out on something pretty obvious.) it's not a bad phone but not a ground breaking device either. the screen does wash out with viewing angle more than some other lcd type screens but for $350 did you expect pixel density as well as a high qulity panel? and maybe you are used to amoled, i am, but i think the nexus screen looks as it should. the phone is delicate, the camera firmware needs work.. these are all true things. but some of what you describe is probably cause for an RMA. the speaker, that's a build defect. not all of them are like that and mine is as loud as any phone i ever owned (louder actually but i never had a "one") so there are 2 things you can cross out because they may take it under warranty. my phone doesn't over heat on my samsung Qi charger, it work perfectly, there is slight heating but that is expected for putting an inductive coil on osmetihng that contains metal parts... no overheating on mine, just comfortable warmth.... are you using a cheap charger? there is a communication standard that is part of QI and the phone regulates the transmitter output with feedback, it's possible that some of the cheap chargers aren't following the Qi standards. as far as the alarm app not working, well it's a new os, interfaces change, things break, deal with it untill the market place catches up. that's like upgrading windows and the printer stops working... if the phone reboots it may be a hardware defect, you should RMA the phone or i'm sure someone will buy it from you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
i had my nexus 5 freeze after like 10 minutes of it being out of the box. forcing it to reboot solved the issue, and i haven't had any software or hardware issues since(besides some light leaking through and 1 piece of dust under the screen)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzsax1:
by the time i was done ordering the phone it cost me 424 dollars... the screen? its made by LG which made the LG g2 phone which is the same screen using the same LCD IPS technology. the G2 does not display any of these faults. hell... i dont think any of the flag ships today are displaying these faults and since much of the media is tagging this phone as a flagship from google then lets rate this phone from a benchmark stanpoint.. bottom line the screen so far has been a disappointment. This in some cases i not a deal-breaker for others. and if i didn't have so many issues with my Nexus 5 it wouldn't be for me either. after all it has a flagship resolution. The AMOLED panels do look over saturated but you can adjust that very easily if that is not you thing. in my case i had to adjust my Galaxy s2. as far as the IPS lcd panel... i dont think the price is good of a warrant enough to give us inferior lcd screens and if there is a cap on the overall cost of the screen... why dont google sacrifice on something much less obvious like NFC for example... i have never used it... i dont think it is used that much by other users... keep NFC and make up for a better LCD panel...

The overheating problem with wireless chargers? i am using the MCPOWER QI standard Wireless Charger which works flawlessly with my Nexus 7. This i another product that hasn't been trouble free and the one flaw that is kicking me in the balls is the ghost touchscreen issues. Oddly my wifes Nexus 7 works great with no issues. i am getting a replacement soon for my Nexus 7 by the way. hopefully the new one is ok but from what i am reading in here is a hit or miss ordeal with replacements. This is unacceptable.

Apps...? these are simple alarm clock apps! these apps havent changed much since gingerbread..! They work when upgrading to HoneyComb. They work when we finally got ICS and the work on all builds of jelly bean... why would it not work with KitKat? we are not really talking about a complete departure from Android version 4 here like it would be to go to version 5

i posted a question about changing bands crash on XDA and i finally got an answer that made me rethink. That option to change bands has been broken since the launch of the Nexus 4 and only has been fixed on third party ROMs... really...? its been been broken that long..? unacceptable

So far my experience with Nexus devices has been 33% percent satisfactory. Only one device at my house has been trouble free so far... i told my wife NOT to upgrade to kitkat when the time comes because i dont know how it will turn out.

these problems are not specific to my phone and upon searches you will see that others have the problems... i have had the Galaxy S2 Gt-i9100p for a long time and although it is far from a perfect phone, it has during those three years been relatively problem free considering what i have on hand now with this Nexus...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
no.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzsax1:
No it does not destroy the S3 in every way... while color reproduction might be more accurate than the s3 it has more back LED bleed while viewing in low light conditions and in angles... contrast sucks as well... My nexus 7 displays text black while the Nexus 5 gives you a dark grayish hue to it no matter what angle you hold it...Keep in mind while out of the box the S3 screen is more color saturated, this is easily adjusted by way of rom built in settings or by third party apps... i have tried to adjust color and contrast on the Nexus 5 and i haven't been able to find an app that gives me results... screen angles suck compare to the S3 so i dont see how this screen destroys it...

as far as crashes... the changing bands crash has been there since the introduction of the Nexus 4... This is what i have found out through XDA so i bet if you try *#*#4636#*#* and try to change radio bands, it will pop your "crash free" cherry.... I travel a lot and although the auto radio band settings works ok i have found out via XDA that forcing Europe or Asian bands give your device better performance.

Maybe i have a defective phone... but that wishful thinking since there are tons of posts by other users with the same issues... i think quality has been sacrificed at the expense of cost...

You Tube is buggy... on of the bugs is that stupid icon that appears in the middle of the screen while you play a video... The way to get rid of it is but disabling notification... i dont know how one ties with the other but ohh well...

Data signal is something that needs improving... sometimes the phone displays HSPA signal but there really isn't traffic flowing across and the way to fix that is to way disable and enable data... or you can just wait to see if it flows again on its own...

kit kat is a hit or miss in my opinion and the only thing i use and like about it is the GEL launcher...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felnarion:
I would tend to agree with you that it is somewhat buggy. But not ready for release, no, I wouldn't agree with that. This is a nexus device, this is kind of what you signed up for when you bought it.

Some bugs I've come across:

Hangouts is somewhat unstable, force closes occasionally.

Asking google now "Where are my packages?" will crash it.

When using swiftkey, the keyboard reverts to the default keyboard when the screen is locked.

Occasionally, the transparency on the status/nav bar gets stuck and requires a reboot to resume normal operation.

At the beginning, google now seemed less functional, but that seems improved since the last search update.

Google Music sometimes requires skipping a song, then going back to it, or the audio doesn't work.

I feel like I've had some other concerns, but those are the main ones. Overall honestly, I would say its buggier than I would prefer, but certainly not unworthy of release.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anactoraaron:
Your phone is missing features? It's AOSP - if there's something you want install it from the play store.

You want more saturation/contrast? Install Franco Kernel.

You like your S2 better? Sell the N5 then and use that instead.

Need more customization options? Get a custom rom from here (and thank the dev!).

You want to whine about the OS? Have you never been an early adopter before? New release OS's across ALL platforms have some kind of issue that will eventually be fixed, just deal with it. I have yet to encounter any issue the OP has posted, other than headphone volume being a bit low - but Play Music is fine (plenty loud actually, meaning there's some 4.4 optimization needed for everything else). Never had any issues with exchange both my business email accounts are fine.

Seriously, if you really hate/dislike/are disappointed with your phone SELL IT. It's not going to be available from the play store for awhile and there's a good chance you will make most of your money back on it. I'm really getting sick of people with nothing better to do post what I feel to be inaccurate/isolated experiences with this device on this forum. Take a look at some of the responses and you will see that you are in the minority with having those issues.

Which means A) you have some type of hardware defect causing the issues (hey, it happens). Contact Google for an RMA.

B) Something was borked in the initial software update when you first powered the phone on (a simple flash back to stock using one of the helpful threads here should fix that). **most likely scenario here**

Or... C) a competing company doesn't like the fact a different manufacturer currently has a better phone out then they do and is paying interns/etc to post negative/untrue comments about the phone wherever possible (I'm sure something like this has happened before also).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzsax1:
no man.... its been three years... i need an upgrade... and coming from an S2 would be a huge upgrade to go to Samsung S4 Note 3 HTC One or even LG... i got an RMA today so its all good... hope fully google will listen and fix all these issues with the phone... especially the speaker... so if anything i will wait a little longer and see... the Nexus 5 is not a disaster... just not a good fit for me right now as is....

i have done anything i could to see if perhaps that force update you get when you first provision your phone was the problem and even after flashing the stock image from google the issues remain...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXghostXx313:
I encountered some bugs like:

1. Sometimes phone will not make a sound when ringing

2. The power button doesn't work for awhile

3. My phone keeps getting a bug report.(Could be the rom)

4.There are more but I probably forgot about them.

Other then that there should be an update to fix this and I love kitkat so far !
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbdan:
You say it could be the ROM? What ROM? If you're running a custom ROM then your bugs could be and most likely are related to that ROM. Run stock straight from Google for a few weeks and see if you get bugs.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peron:
Funny how some users report all kind of bugs and some other little or no bugs.

I'm in the 2nd group, no auto-reboots, no issue with exchange mail, no issue with colors being washed out (galaxy sindrome)

I have it since a week and only seen a couple of FC with XDA app (promptly replaced by tapatalk) and a couple of other apps not yet updated for KK

Then I have the notification led which behaves erratically and finally the camera focusing issue many have reported, this last one is the only one really bugging me.

Everything else working beautifully and coming from a Galaxy S2 the battery is excellent too.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXghostXx313:
I actually had all these bugs on stock version of android except number 3.

Catalysm Rom by the way.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzsax1:
im not saying the Nexus is missing features.... what i said was that the problem with the over saturated colors in the S3 was easily fixable via rom options within the device...

there is something that really bugs me and is the radio band change option in the nexus devices... according to others here in XDA is has been broken since the introduction of the Nexus 4//// really..? when will it be fixed in the future...? near..? far..? will it ever...

i did try franco kernel and it does improve the colors... but again, the question is if i feel like kitkat is ready for prime time as is...? no it is not..!!! the screen contrast remains since its a problem with what i think is a leaky lcd back panel. you can clearly see it using 3/4 view angle in dark conditions... another issue is that after having an HD2 and S2 and Nexus One i am tired of flashing for components here and there to make the phone better... i was hoping all that was gone to a degree with the Nexus 5 since on paper the device is solid...

no man.... its been three years... i need an upgrade... and coming from an S2 would be a huge upgrade to go to Samsung S4 Note 3 HTC One or even LG... i got an RMA today so its all good... hope fully Google will listen and fix all these issues with the phone... especially the speaker... so if anything i will wait a little longer and see... the Nexus 5 is not a disaster... just not a good fit for me right now as is....

asnwering the OP's question..... i feel this version of android is not ready for prime time... not only i am giving in my opinion but i am going further to explain my experience and why...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anactoraaron:
Glad you are getting an RMA and I hope it works out! :good: If there's a thread here for RMAs keep us in the loop on the process and how long it will take, etc and whether or not the replacement phone does the same thing/has the same issues.

Yeah it is weird that there seems to be 2 groups like that... hopefully nothing like the PS4 worker sabotage going on here:D (from LG tho)... Yeah the stock camera app really needs updated. I think there's something wrong with the AF/face detection end of the software and it seems to me to switch from the AF from the focal point to face detection randomly/rapidly resulting in the need to 'time' the shot before it goes out of focus again... but hey, as I said we are early adopters and overall the phone is great.

i am experiencing somewhat the same issue with the stock camera. other have suggested to use the moto X camera and so far it has been a huge improvement at least for good light conditions... for low light conditions the only one that does a decent job is Camera360. But again... the question is if kit kat is ready for prime time as is... the answer is no IMO... Google needs to do better quality assurance.

i actually opted for a refund.... i dont think the next phone will be any better... i will wait and perhaps give it another try later on down the road...

for now i stick with the S2...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucke:
i've only had one bad instance... Google Play Music froze and the phone rebooted while in the car. that happened about 4-5 days ago and is the only thing to happen. it was perfect before then, and it's been flawless since then. i chalk it up to ghosts in the machine.
