Just wanted to report a recent experience.

I was in the Netherlands, using an Italian Vodafone SIM on a US Play Store purchased Nexus 5.

I decided to try the native tethering. It worked. However, I also immediately received an SMS from Vodafone telling me I was using data outside my plan, and my account was debited 6 Euro for a couple of seconds of updating the NY Times on my Nexus 7 via tether.

So beware - even if your carrier does not block tethering, the Nexus 5 somehow reports that tether. It was not just packet inspection here, as the Nexus 7 tablet presumably uses the same type of data as the phone.

Since 4.2 carriers have been able to see when you're tethering.

Unfortunately I don't know a way around it, though thankfully my carrier simply blocks my internet for 30 minutes when it detects tethering

[Nexus 5 General] manekineko:
Anyone know what the mechanism they added in 4.2 for reporting tethering to carriers is?

Is there an Xposed module that disables it, or are there custom ROMs with this "feature" disabled?

im from italy, with wind mobile I never had problems with thetering because they just simply allow it! 10gb per month at 12euros.

On AIO network

I am on AIO wireless , before I switch from iPhone to Nexus 5. The Personal Hotspot feature is remove from my iPhone and I switch to Nexus 5 , few days ago I was trying the Tethering on my phone and so far no SMS or call from my provider saying about my tethering.
[Nexus 5 General] ronwi2:
The carrier can choose to do what it wants with the information. However, it seems clear that the carrier gets the information that tethering is taking place with the Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] Cactus42:
Thought this was common knowledge, not hard for carriers to detect tethering even if the OS doesn't tell them - packets have to be routed. Some choose to deal with it, some don't.

Don't see why people take the risk - £15 in the UK for an unlimited plan with tethering.
[Nexus 5 General] Taubin:
A lot of people here don't live in the UK, and don't have the option of paying just 15 for tethering. Most places in the states charge an arm and leg for tethering, and it's usually limited to a few hundred megs.
[Nexus 5 General] ronwi2:
I don't know that it is common knowledge that the phone somehow tells the carrier. I think that many of us assumed there was packet inspection, but given that I was tethering a Nexus 7 this appears to be something different.
[Nexus 5 General] Cactus42:
I thought it was usually just the UK that get's the crap deals :)

I said I thought it was common knowledge the carriers could tell when you're tethering, not that the phone tells them. They don't have to wait for an OS that tells them when there's a device other than the connected one transmitting data through it. Your phone is, for all intents and purposes, routing packets. They don't even need to inspect the packets, there's numerous ways to see that data didn't originate at the device they should.
[Nexus 5 General] DerItaliener:
I switched carrier exactly because of this, VodafoneIT is as far as I know the only big Carrier in italy that charges for tethering. I switched carrier because of this sh*t. They made me pay 4 Euro every day I tried to use Tethering...

and now I can happily confirm that WIND and TRE don't charge anything.

As Vodafone is now charging 19,- € for switching plans, my advice is, switch carrier.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgmorland:
Hi, on my previous phone I used the standard calendar widget but it had a transparent white header (actually I am not sure if that was standard or if I had a modified calendar app it is so long ago). I would like the same widget on Nexus 5 but the standard calendar widget has a blue header. Does anyone know how this can be modified to be transparent like my previous one? I have shown pictures of the difference between them in attachments.

I think it might be a case of editing PNG file(s) in the APK and then rebuilding it. I had a look inside the calendar APK from the \system\apps folder and I can see some PNG files that look like they are the header. I can use an image editing app to modify the image files but I am not sure about the process of rebuilding the APK (I have odex files as well as APK in my \system\apps folder).

I have attached the files that seem to be the background PNGs. The one called BLUE is the one from Nexus 5 and the one called TRANSPARENT is from my previous Android 4.1.2 phone. The calendar APK in the Nexus 5 has two copies of the file in two different folders in the res section.

If anyone can help I would appreciate it :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgmorland:
Found the solution myself. I found the image for the header in the old Calendar app and took a sample of the colour and transparency and edited and replaced the corresponding image in the new Calendar APK (resizing to fit new screen density). I found a tool to odex and transfer to my phone and now the widget is showing with the header like my old one did.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radar73:
Care to share your modified apk?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgmorland:
Attached is my modified APK. It is a modified version of v201308021 calendar app which came with the original Nexus 5 ROM. I am not sure if any of the subsequent OTA updates have upgraded the version since that one.

Note that the widget preview still shows it with the blue header but if you add it to your homescreen the widget will display with my modified transparent white header.

I used this tool and instructions to odex my modified APK file:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caslca:
Hi all,

I've been bummed by the atrocious vibration function of this otherwise fine phone. In my digging, I've discovered that the vibration changes intensity while it's on. It starts high pitched but very quickly (500ms) drops down in intensity and vibration. Also, it seems the motor can't stop quickly and you can hear the phone winding down after each impulse.

So I went to the Verizon store to look at possibly getting me a MOTO phone, and decided to test the vibration on a bunch of the display phones. Turns out, the phone sounded identical to the HTC One they had on display.

But more importantly, they had an LG G2 there and it sounded perfect (much like the S3/S4 or Moto phones). Constant pitch with negligible wind down times.

Long story short, I ordered the LG G2 vibration motor from ebay and I'll be trying to jam it in the back cover in a day or two. I'll keep you posted.

Wish me luck!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caslca:
So motor came today. It is almost identical - the body is about 1mm thicker but that's it. You can feel it through the back of the phone and I think there is a rubber o-ring on the phone body that can be removed to make it fit a little better.

Unfortunately, the LG G2 motor did not work.

What I think is going on is that the N5 is a standard off-center motor. It can be powered (i did) with 2.5v and will vibrate but it will produce quite an inertial vibration so that you can hear the motor winding up/down. It is also more power hungry.

the LG G2 (and other phones) uses same sized PWM motor. That allows for nearly inertia-free vibration so that the impulses can be short and precise. It is also more power friendly since it can produce lower/higher intensity vibration without need for a regulator circuit.

so there is that. While physically the part is drop-in(-ish), it won't power at all since the N5 outputs standard, non PWM 2V to it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TAM1m:
If this is a standard DC-Motor (two contacts: V, GND), it should actually work, as long as the required volage is the same. The PWM just "emulates" an analoge signal using digital outpout.

EDIT: Image for visualization
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caslca:
In my limited understanding, it doesn't matter how the pulse averages out. The pwm type motors also have 2 contacts, but they expect a pulse signal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servo_control. It is true that with PWM signal you can emulate analog for inert consumers (e.g. incandescent light or standard motor) and control their intensity. But for PWM motors what matters is the pulse width not the averaged voltage.

BTW, I may be completely wrong here. This was all just a guess of mine since the motor sounded like a servo when DC was applied to it(very short buzz). I haven't actually found any confirmation that the LGG2 motor is in fact a pwm motor. I guess I could try to hook it up to an adruino or something to confirm...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caslca:
duplicate
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TAM1m:
I'm pretty sure this isn't a servo, as servos have three inputs. GND,V and SIGNAL. Have you tried hooking it to a power supply or battery? You could also probe the output of the N5 with an oscilloscope if you have access to one. I'd love to do that, but I don't have my Nexus yet. :(

EDIT: A buzz sounds more like insufficient voltage to me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimfire72:
Question, where exactly is the vibration motor located in the Nexus 5? Is it easy to remove and replace?

I got a 16gb with a good motor and just got a 32gb with a weak motor today. (returning the 16gb). But before I return, was considering doing a transplant... simple to do? Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caslca:
The motor is attached with a double sticky tape to the backplate. Its round and flat, the size of a dime but thicker.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caslca:
That's what I've seen as well. I wasn't sure how the thing is supposed to be powered (perhaps the casing could be GND). In any case, I tried 3V and 6V (2 or 4 AA batteries in series). I was able to power the N5 motor just fine with either 3 or 6v (the phone outputs 2V as measured with multimeter at the contacts). The G2 motor did not spin though - it just gave a very short buzz.

I remember i played with a servo on an arduino-type board and the servo gave a short buzz when DC was applied on it (don't remember which contacts)

Perhaps the answer is simpler - the G2 motor I just received could be defective...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TAM1m:
I think chances are high that it really is defect. As you can see in the picture below, there are only two contacts and nothing else.

Beside that, I can't think of any reason for choosing a servo over a DC motor as vibrator. Servos give you position control and stuff, but all you need for vibration is a fast spinning motor with controllable speed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimfire72:
So I opened up my 16gb with the good motor (which I planned on returning) and swapped it out with my new 32gb that had the weak motor. It was an improvement, but still not as solid as it was in the 16gb. Leads me to believe the problem is more than just a bad motor and perhaps something on the board itself.

BTW, in the process of opening up the phone, I managed to scrape up the edges of the phone - even when using a plastic pry tool. The plastic on the back cover is pretty soft and dents/scrapes easily. So I am definitely RMA'ing this back to Google. Grrrrr....

You're going to rma a device you hosed up? Shame on you. :thumbdown:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caslca:
I just dug out my old Galaxy S2. Low and behold, it has the same type motor inside as the N5 though with different connectors. I'm going to solder in new contacts and try it in the N5 see how it does.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimfire72:
It was already hosed - the vibration motor was weak and noisy. I had two side by side and the newer one definitely has a problem. I was already going to RMA, but tried first to fix it myself and save everyone the hassle. That didn't work out, so back to my original plan of doing the RMA. Shame on Google.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caslca:
I gotta say I completely agree with the last sentiment. I feel like I got taken for $450 with this phone. It is infuriating that they would release it with such cheap vibrator and cheap speakerphone making these two functions borderline unusable.

Unfortunately, i don't see any better phone on the market today with a ~5" screen. MotoX comes close but has terrible camera which to me is important. I also went to the i-store to check out the dark side again(twice). Wasn't able to convince myself it is better than the N5 though
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimfire72:
This may make the Moto X more appealing for you... They're having a $150 off sale on non-contract phones on Cyber Monday

http://www.motorola.com/us/motorola...ce=gplus&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=cmmotox

I actually just got one last week, perfect out of the box, no defects. I bought from Amazon, so gonna see if they'll price match, if not, will return and buy from Motorola direct on Monday.

The Moto X is good, but I liked the Nexus 5 better because of the screen and it's thinner. Then again, the active notifications on the Moto X are awesome. If the 3rd Nexus 5 I get still has issues, I'll probably stick with the Moto X then.
