[Nexus 5 General] jojo4747:
So I have been with the device for two weeks and I think I have enough experience with it to write a review. The android phones i have owned are in order: og droid, droid inc 2, droid 3, RAZR HD, lg optimus l9 and now Nexus 5. I will sort the sections by importance. So let's begin

First things first: Performance

This is the best performing phone I have ever had. After two weeks of my game playing, music listening, browsing, school research, amazon orders, I give my smartphones little to no rest. And this baby still performs like it did out of the box. I have not seen any lag whatsoever. I am a rapid typer on my phones and this is the only phone that I have ever had that doesn't stutter at all while typing. Games play without a hitch. Best performing phone out there. Period.

Next up camera

The camera is superb. I know already that many of you won't agree with me on this but if you put yourself in my shoes coming from an optimus l9 the camera is extremely refreshing. Crisp pictures even in sub par lighting. HDR + is amazing and I can't wait until Google releases their new camera software.

Next up: screen

Screen is good and real to life but not bright enough. I feel that KitKat is trying to be a bright os but the screen on the nexus doesn't do it justice. Don't get me wrong, its super clear and crisp, just coming from the RAZR HD I know what a great vivid screen to be.

Sound:

its meh, best way I could describe it. Speakers are poor and vibrate the phone rather than exerting clear sound. Call quality is good but if you put the speaker against your ear too much you muffle the sound easily. Recording with the mic pics up sound accurately

Build quality

Its good but it could be better, I don't have to worry about it snapping in two or separating from casing like the nexus 7 2012 fiasco. Without a case it could be a little hard edged in your hand.

Battery life: so I go to school about 30 hours per week. The battery dies just about one hour after I get home at 5 pm. Giving me 11 hours of solid use. Whether its playing games and listening to music between bus rides, researching in the library, I'd like to think that the battery life is good but not as good as the RAZR HD

The verdict is an overall solid phone that is meant to be all around good, but not the best, kinda like Mario in Mario kart, or Ryu in street fighter.
[Nexus 5 General] spicyalan:
Well, I will just put my short review in this post.

I received my Nexus 5 yesterday (I was surprised to hear from my local phonestore that they had received a shipment, altough they were only expecting it after 9 December).

I'm not using the phone yet, as I have to wait on my new SIM card, but these are my first impressions. Most of it will compare it to my Galaxy S2.

Battery

Although I don't have SIM in it yet, I can already see the difference in battery life.

My Galaxy S2 has a 2000mah battery (new from this summer, real Samsung brand), but it just burns through electricity. Technically, it can stay 5 days on standby (wifi + push sync), but if anything else is going on in the background, it is less than 1 day. Screen time is max 2 hrs on a full charge and if 3G reception is bad, the percentages also go down while watching.

The Nexus 5 came charged in the box (at 70%). After 1h30 of screen time (quite heavy usage, 1st sync, installing apps,...), it has reached the 40% mark. So, quite good in usage. During the night, it lost 1% charge on wifi+sync (but no mobile setup)

Product

The Nexus 5 looks good. I was surprised that the phone is not that much larger as an S2.

The black backpanel feels great (and less slippery than the white S2), but can hold some grease.

Screen

The screen of the Nexus 5 is just mind blowing. As being accustomed to use an AMOLED the past 2 years, it is quite different. I miss the pure blacks. But.. if I look at the S2, I miss the brightness

Pro: High resolution, quite big, high brightness (outdoor viewing)

Contra: The pure black still give the advantage to AMOLED when viewing in a dark room.

Camera

I don't understand the reviews telling that this is not a good camera. I really liked the S2 camera, but this is just so much better.

The daylight pictures don't differ that much (different color balance, and details at 100%crop), as they are both good camera's at 8Mpix. The difference is for pictures inside (or even darkness). In this case, the Nexus just shatters the S2 camera.

Outside, in darkness, the Nexus 5 shows the picture as real as possible (and not overexposing like the Lumias, or showing everything black like the S2).

Edit: included 2 pictures where you clearly see the difference between the S2 and Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] jojo4747:
Good review mate.
[Nexus 5 General] barondebxl:
This is my favorite phone...ever.
[Nexus 5 General] asdfasd2:
I'll throw in my bit if you don't mind:

Coming from the HTC One Google Edition

-Performance: Great (might be just because of KitKat)

-Speakers: Meh

-Screen: One is better calibrated, my N5 seems to have a yellow tint on whites

-Camera: Slow to focus and take pictures. Picture quality overall is comparable

-Build Quality: I'm a fan of the lighter and soft touch body of the N5. The One has a more premium feel though.

Coming from the Nexus 4

-Performance: Great

-Speakers: Same

-Screen: Great

-Camera: Better

-Build Quality: I didn't like the glass back of the N4
[Nexus 5 General] barondebxl:
Performance of the nexus 5 is unmatched by any other android phone. The note 3 is a multitasking powerhouse and is fast and fluid but to me this is just something else.
[Nexus 5 General] ghettopops:
We talking Madara or Pervy Sage?

Amaterasu or Tatsumaki Rasengan?

Or just straight up BanKai.
[Nexus 5 General] barondebxl:
We're talking about the sage of 6 paths mixed with sharingan mixed with biyakugan.

[Nexus 5 General] jojo4747:
Lol funny how my thread turned into a convo about my favorite manga
[Nexus 5 General] spicyalan:
Just to add to my review about battery life:

Gaming

Slightly better than the Galaxy S2 in heavy 3D games (e.g. Asphalt 8). +- 10% for 20 minutes.

The Galaxy S2 with a 2000mah battery matches this, but the battery decreases an extra 5-6% during 10 minutes after gaming, while the Nexus stays rock steady

general usage

When the screen is not too bright, the Nexus 5 has quite a long battery life (even on automatic setting, it isn't bad). Without any energy saving measures (screen on automatic, chrome browser), it has no problem to get +3hrs of screen time) including a full day standby and calls. The Galaxy S2 only will exceed 2hours of screen time of you keep the screen brightness at lowest (and unreadable) level (without standby)

Standby (includes push for gmail and a push Exchange account)

The Nexus 5 is king in the power sipping department. Standby on wifi is less than 0.5%/hour (3-4% on 9 hours => would be 8 days), and 3G standby closely matches this score, even in areas with bad reception.

I once had S2 do 4 days on standby by putting it next to the wireless router and not touching it (on 4.0.4). Since Jelly Bean, 48hrs is more a realistic number. Standby on 3G is way worse (15hrs max.). When in bad reception areas, the battery percentages just count down while you look at it....

I have on each of 2 Krussel cases that fit the K-JAM fine.

A vertical pouch and a horizontal pouch.

In Krussel terms it is an S-Wide fitting.

And is exactly the same pouch as for the Sony Ericsson P800/P900 series phones.

Do you suffer from the screen rotation problem with the Krusell horizontal case?

Did you get the Horizontic, the Platinum or the Horizontic+ and which dealer did you get it from?

Additionally, Krusell state that internal dimensions are 113 x 51 x 23...

The width (51) doesn't seem wide enough for the K-Jam...?

And the K-Jam fits, despite the fact that it's wider than Krusell's stated internal width of the case?

Hi Rinaldy,

to change the background color back in your nokia lumia 720 you have 2 options:

A-go to setting/theme then you will see 2 options background and accent color there you can choose to revert it back to stock color

B- if option A didn't work then you will have to factory reset the phone from setting/about/reset your phone, since nokia lumia is windows 8 built the data should be saved as read only and that will return it to it's actual data[color] when you bought it first time.cheer up
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gbcue:
I'm having a problem with Google Voice. It seems to be ignoring the setting for unanswered calls going "Straight to voicemail" as opposed to ringing other phones. Callers (when they call my real carrier #) will hear 10+ rings before getting to GV VM. I've resorted to going back to carrier VM because of the excessive rings.

It seems like GV is ignoring the setting and ringing my other "phones", even though I have no additional ones listed and unchecked the Google Chat forwarding.

I've tried deleting my phone from the list and re-adding it, but that does nothing.

Has anybody run into a similar situation and how did you deal with it? Anybody know someone who works in the Google Voice department that can help directly? This is very very annoying!

Thanks!

Sad News All,

Today I ended up with a brick in APX mode. It seems without the SBK code i cannot fix this, sending it back is impossible where i am, plus i think its out of warranty.

I will push what i have but now my development is over on this device.

Regards

darkspr1te

Hi all,

Some of you may know me from the Korean phones section where I was developing fixes for bricked phones, as I no longer have a bricked phone at the moment I moved on.

What I moved onto is opening the devices trees for the A210 tegra 3 based tablet from Acer.

yes I know there are already a few cm10 compiles out there for the Acer Axxx devices but the A210 seems to have only closed sources on the cm side and kernel, example kiwi++ based kernel/James ROMs, (if the kernel is public,then I stand corrected)

Anyway, moving on,

My current tree for cm10.2 is available on github and I will start posting compiled nightly builds as the project moves on. And develops.

For now my builds will include the cm kernel, based off kernel/acer/t30-common , mainly because I know little about kernel hacking and the goal was to get cm10.2/11 booting and usable.

Current status

CM10.2

1. WiFi working

2. Touch working

3. Sound fully working

4 no internal/external SD card yet

5 USB devices are working

6 display has flicker but otherwise fully working

7 cwm is working, touch to follow

8 PA-gapps / play store working

9 battery life untested yet

10 custom kernel/CPU gov's - not started yet

CM11

non-booting.

compiles ok but having issues with selinux

require EXT FS ext attrib also must be set in kernel

You can find my cm10.2 online on github, my cm11 tree is staying closed for now while I iron out some hectic bugs that have the potential to brick the device (so far I keep loosing touch and sound even across ROMs)

Anyway, onto the meat of it , if you want to compile yourself, pull the trees from here

https://github.com/darkspr1te

I also want to document some of the development process here too, time allowing (mods gods allowing)

Compiled builds to follow for now, enjoy the reading.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkspr1te:
On initial look it's more like a issue with blobs, but there are a fw other errors i can help with

D/TelephonyManager( 1060): No /proc/cmdline exception=java.io.FileNotFoundException: /proc/cmdline: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)

This is a permissions error , in your init.device.rc file you need

chown radio radio /proc/cmdline
chmod 0777 /proc/cmdline

it should be around the insmod statements or other chmod statements

Looking at the device trees and prop files i can see some of the file are not blobs but are built by cm at build time, example is power.default.so, they should not be included in the prop file AFAIK, but i could be wrong.

i am no expert, i am still learning this myself (spent 3 days chasing a wifi bug only to realize i forgot setup the mac address) anyway my feeling is blobs, have a look at similar msm8960/8660 devices and see how minimal their prop files are,

is can see surfaceflinger dying, on my devices i get that when i get wrong blobs in place, i copy across .so lib files that are built by cm or if my blobs are way off.

are you getting bootlogo ?

darkspr1te
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SpaceCaker:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] darkspr1te:
Black screen is because surfaceflinger has not come up, I get that always with blob issues, concentrate on the blobs in lib/ego and lib/hw,
