[Nexus 5 General] skyyrocket:
I have to disagree with the iPhone being the phone to beat.... Samsung has beaten apple and LG with the nexus 5 and G2 put out two amazing devices that are beyond apples latest and greatest. I am sorry but the iPhone 5s and other iPhones and including the iPads have some pretty noticeable lag and stutters. As for android the improvement has been amazingly awesome android used to be the extremely laggy and stuttered for everything. Now it's pretty much ios fluid. I just switched from the iPhone 5s to the note 3 after a test run to see if I would like ios again and ios7 stutters a lot. To me the note 3 feels more fluid and yes touchwiz is very heavy and hard to run
[Nexus 5 General] enfxuevsi:
The lag is a software limitation, not at all hardware related.
[Nexus 5 General] neoneras:
Well my experience with bloons TD5 is quite good on N5. I get to about lvl 100 after that it starts to lag a bit more and more with following levels. But in my opinion this is game itself. My friend with galaxy S3 gets to lvl 115-120 before becomes almost unplayable, other folks with N4 gets to 120-125 lvl before it gets unplayable. I get to about lvl 130 before it gets the same as S3 or N4 performance (0.5-2 FPS)

All in all it's bloons TD5 fault, not hardware, game engine itself is at fault.

this is EA we're talking about. EA doesn't care about "user experience" only "will it sell" and "is it 90% functional"
[Nexus 5 General] hotleadsingerguy:
90%? lol I think you're overestimating EA...I'm pretty sure they're satisfied with 60%, judging by every EA produced or sponsored game I've played in the past 5 years. It's a horrible company that needs to be shut down.
[Nexus 5 General] fruitsalt:
I know Samsung and LG have introduced amazing devices but thats still on paper. I'm not comparing them based on reviews or watching videos online, I own both the nexus 5 and the iphone 5s. Android has gotten a lot better from its laggy days and is one hell of a responsive OS with functionality to boot. That being said I can still see the nexus 5 lag and havent been able to make the iphone 5s lag at all, i have had a few apps just crash on me randomly but thats about it.

Everything on the iphone is more fluid then on android. Most of it has to do with apps installed, most developers dont really put in as much time into android as they do on IOS. The specs on the new android devices are amazing running quad core cpus with 2 gb of RAM but in the end what use is all that power when the phone still lags. For instance just a few minutes ago i got a call on the nexus and when the call ended the phone just got stuck on the call screen unresponsive for 30-40 seconds.

If we compare just the hardware then there really is no competition for current android phones, apple has not put out anything with those kinda specs. But if we want to see which OS runs better shouldnt it be on the same kind of hardware. The iphone 5 runs a Dual-Core processor and for me it handles iOS7 perfectly without a lag, i would like to see how a galaxy s2 with a Dual-Core processor would handle kitkat. That would be comparing similar hardware on the latest OS's by each company.

I know you would say why not the s3 and the s4, because they run on quad-core processors. I know this kinda got winded but what im trying to say is that an iphone 5 with half the specs of a current android device performs on par and at times better then those devices then how would android fare if iphone gets a quad-core processor, there is a lot to be said about each OS's optimization based on just the specs.

[MENTION=897441]fruitsalt[/MENTION] Wanna see the the iPhone and iPads lag swipe down to get to the search and if your running ios 6 or older swipe left on the home screen. This has been a problem since god know's when. Now I am person that love tech and I love all devices apple included.. Hell my last 2 phones after my S4 was the iPhone 5 and 5s and don't get me wrong both are amazing devices but when I had my 5 and 5s i did notice some lag and touch response issues. The US version of the S3 was a dual core with 2gb of ram and was the best selling phone of 2012 and changed the game for android. Also this was a problem when Intel and Amd first released there Quad Cores, nothing was really optimized for the extra cores and in some cases the higher end dual cores would beat out the Quad cores due programs and software not fully being used to there full potential. Also Ios 7 and all ios version before are really dumbed down as in the requirements needed to run it, Not only that Apple has done one hell of a job optimizing their software to run near perfectly on their hardware. Kit-katt for some reason has that issue with calls ending and it getting stuck so I really think its more of a bug then a hardware issues. The problem I think with android manufacturers and Google is they rushed to push out quad core cpus without really optimizing for it. My current device is the Note 3 and I love that thing and to be honest it doesn't lag or stutter maybe a few minor glitches but it feels faster and better then my 5s did and Samsung has the biggest issue of just stuffing more faster hardware instead of optimizing their software but I think they learned from the S4 that faster specs doesn't mean a better System performance or User experience
[Nexus 5 General] fruitsalt:
I see your point, but the phone only lagged a bit the first time i did that. Repeated attempts did not produce any hint of lag.

True, that hardware is only good as the software that runs on it. And sooner or later we are going to see software optimized to run on the quad-core processors. iOS7 is really optimized to run on the hardware and thats where i would like to see android at. currently i dont get it how everyone says that android are better devices ( i think they are on par and sometimes a bit below iOS) when it already requires twice the resources to run as fluid as the iphone, example is see a device running anything before kitkat it wont run as smooth or fluid. Dont get me wrong im not bashing android and am not an apple fan boy, as i stated earlier i use both devices and each has its own use. But currently it feels like android is going towards who has the biggest engine instead of who has a better quality/optimized system. I definitely want to run KitKat on a dual core S3 to see how it performs, that would be more telling of the OS then running it on the latest and greatest quad-core phone.

BTW the best OS that i have ever used is BB10, that OS even half baked on the z10 was blazing fast and responsive and put both android and ios to shame. I hope BlackBerry can get their **** together and continue developing the OS, what it really lacks though is apps. Have gotten so accustomed to using some apps that i cant seem to survive without them.
[Nexus 5 General] ravenwood27:
Does anyone else's nexus 5 lag when they do this in a fast manner:

From the home screen, press the app drawer icon then quickly press the home icon...and just toggle repeatedly.

It's buttery and smooth most of the time..but at times it'll stutter noticeably.

same if you swipe to your other homescreens then press the home button to go to the main one and just do it fast...it'll stutter.

This MUST be software right ?? I struggle to believe the Snapdragon800 2.2 is having a hard time with these actions.
[Nexus 5 General] rancur3p1c:
I dont' have this problem what kernel you running I'm on faux123 underclocked to 1.6ghz

Stock kitkat....so basically dalvik
[Nexus 5 General] wewewi999:
I just tried GTA Vice City and at full resolution, with max settings and dynamic shadows, it lags aplenty. Barely playable.

I had to set resolution to 75% and set settings to high to get acceptable framerate.
[Nexus 5 General] neoneras:
Well, what do you expect from game that is ported, Don't forget that Rockstar is not the studio that likes to optimize it's software. If you port it for specific device (for example any iOS ecosystem device) you can get few cheap optimizations running. But when you're porting software to various different devices at the same time, what do you expect?
[HTC Rezound] gabezermeno:
I just got a replacement rezound because my other one had a million problems. The new one seemed to work perfectly so I unlocked the bootloader and installed a cm11. Everything seemed to work great until I realised that I couldn't make phone calls. Whenever I would call or someone would call me the call would instantly end. I figured it was a problem with cm11 so installed another rom and had the same problem. Then I installed a sense rom and still no calls. I have tried those Ruus and it just says that it can't update my phone. I even tried the ota stock rooted rom and that didn't even flash because it was corrupted. I just need to get back to stock so I can return this stupid thing.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
1.) are you s-off? 2.) The ruu's and most ota's will only work while s-off and a relocked bootloader 3.) are you a sim card user or verizon?
[HTC Rezound] gabezermeno:
So I have to go through the pain in the ass to get s-off? Damn. And yeah I'm on Verizon. Don't I have to have linux to get s-off?
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
its actually not a pain at all...i can do it in 5 minutes...just follow my 2 guides and you will be all set bud....you can run linux from a live cd...no need to install on pc....i recommend the 32 bit to make it even easier on you
[HTC Rezound] gabezermeno:
Which guides would those be exactly? I can run linux from a usb drive no problem but I don't know where to look for the most current wire trick for s-off
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
They are right here in the q&a section....one is an s-off guide which is required for downgrading to stock and the other is a downgrade/upgrade guide...once on stock ROM and recovery there is another method for gaining son back so you'll have straight from factory stock....but if you plan on keeping and using the phone I suggest keeping s-off....when I get a few minutes and access to PC I'll dig up links unless you find them...they both are on first page of q&a section

That's something different though. That's just a charger instead of a power bank

[Nexus 5 Accessories] compuw22c:
Call me crazy but given the inefficient nature of Qi I'd at least want a larger (12000 or more) battery. I've got the anker slim 4500 and it's barely enough for 1 and a half charges (granted I use it while charging), I'd be interested how long this would last while powering the Qi electronics as well as the inefficient charging of the phone.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] mierkat09:
Well you could also use it as a wired power bank. And that's pretty good for the price
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AgentSoul:
I wouldn't just say it's pretty good for the price. It's unbelievably low. Your average Qi charger costs $35 for really cheap models while external batteries of 8000 maH cost about $40 each.

However, I did purchase this and I will post again after I try it out and give you guys a review on it, seeing that there is only one amazon review so far.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AgentSoul:
Bump!

I have received the charger, and right off the bat I want to say something that I was extremely surprised with. Along with the cheap price, apparently the free-shipping was free 2-day shipping as well. I was rather shocked when I discovered it 2 days after I ordered it.

The device is rather portable, it is roughly twice the weight of an N5 and roughly the same dimensions. With a case on my phone ( I use a Spigen Ultra Hybrid), when I put it on it almost conforms perfectly except the charger is about a half inch longer.

The material is very glossy and easy to get fingerprints on, and looks *sort of* cheap, mainly due to the chrome rim binding it. However it feels solid pretty far, except for a power button rattle.

I have not kept track of the exact numbers, but so far this thing has satisfied me pretty well. This is my first Qi charger, so I am not aware on whether or not it's supposed to slightly warm up when charging, but it does. The charge rate is pretty decent, 1% every 2 minutes it seems like. The wired charging speeds obviously depend on whether or not you're using the 1A port or the 2.1A port, but the charging speeds for those are already cataloged so it is unnecessary for me to elaborate on it.

The LEDs are pretty bright but it is very hard to see them unless you're looking directly from above it. The battery does seem like it's 8000maH (before power effiency decreases, so the battery is actually 5600maH effectively).

I give it a 8/10 as a product. A 9/10 as a product considering the price and shipping. 100% Recommended :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] borrego20:
too bad I cant find it anymore on amazon, i was waiting for some review like this to pull the trigger and purchase it.. :(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nocturnal86:
How is the qi charging? How many times can you charge it using this on battery and how fast does it charge on qi? If you dont mind me askin.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bearcatcow:
I picked one up and like it very much! It's a tad longer than the Nexus 5 and about the same otherwise in dimensions. It's quite heavy. The charging works well and it's not picky about positioning. Only wish for improvement is that it's a smooth metallic surface all around so it's easy for the phone to slide. I might lay down some non-grip material over it to improve that.

It's a great deal since it's as cheap or cheaper as most qi chargers and as most battery packs but you get both in one. :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AgentSoul:
11 25642898

Sorry for the bad wording previously, but it charges at a rate of about 1% per 2 minutes. I have not the time to conduct from full experiments but it seems that I was able to get about two full phone charges more or less out of it, which is pretty appropriate.

Another note, the LEDs are so weird. They're sort of like mini flash-lights. As I said, you can't really see them unless you're viewing them head on, but last night when I was charging the battery I could use the LED lights to look around my room. This was no problem though as it did not spread, and I simply flipped the battery over :).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] andy o:
This seems like the exact same as another one that's been making the rounds, except it's advertised as 10000 mAh. Look up TX-5600 power bank. They sell a few different colors at dx.com, but I bought mine at Amazon (another brand) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FS1NTMW/. I wonder if it's just plain old deceptive advertising, or if they just use the same shell and put another battery in.

I gotta say, I'm very happy with mine though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jdiddy_ub:
i just ordered one..hoping to get it friday.

Question:

If i use it mainly as a QI charger and leave it plugged in most of the time..will it degrade the battery?

i dont have a need to carry the external battery around all the time, i just needed a 2nd QI charger and since this was a 2 in 1 for $30 i bought it.

I see that theres an on/off button. IDK if that only functions as an on/off for the battery pack itself or if it also protects the battery from overcharge when it is switched off and used just as a qi charger.

thanks in advance
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tlr1000:
I ordered one of these. Looks decent and charges devices quickly using wired mode. However, Qi charging seems inefficient. After charging up the device overnight, it was drained after a single charge of my N5. Seems to only make sense to buy this if you use a wired charging when on the go and use the qi charging when you're plugged into AC. I usually use this device while plugged into AC on my nightstand so it suits my needs. If I'm in a rush to go out and have a phone or tablet that has little charge, I'll bring this device and charge on the road using a cable.

As for the online reviews, they are likely biased. The seller offers a free gift IF you post a "positive product experience". Doesn't seem like a moral practice to me. Anyways, since the product itself works as I described I completed a positive review. Getting the free gift has been like pulling teeth. The vendor/distributor is inflexible and comes up with unwritten statements that state, "our policy is..." long story here. This makes me a bit concerned if my unit needs warranty in the future. Definitely a consideration if you decide to buy one.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] d11dog11:
Thanks for the bump. Ordered for $30. What a deal.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] d11dog11:
Got mine. Works great. Charged to 100% and kept there all night. Didn't over heat at all. Haven't tested it as a battery but as a qi charger its awesome.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ohhdavid:
I have it in black and love it. It's pretty slick so I got thin rubber grips to stick on and keep the phone in place and charger on the table but that's not really necessary, I'm just anal haha. Charges up fast and keeps the device charging while you're on the go. I slip it in my bag now instead of a charger.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] d11dog11:
Update: first 2 nights wireless charging worked fine. Next 2 nights I woke up with the phone below 50%

I'm having wifi issues.. When I use my office wireless and then come home and use my wifi... it shows I'm connected but there is no data is being sent or received. I'll restart the wifi, phone and router - nothing works?

At the office, I have a 4 year old Netgear Wireless-G router (works on B and G).... At home, I have a 1yr old Apple Air Extreme dual band router that works on B, G and N. Nothing else has any issues. I take a laptop several days a week and it connects fine to both the office and home wifi.

It has gotten so bad that I sometimes have to restore from a Nandroid or reflash my ROM just to connect at home.

It's not a ROM issue, I've had this problem on 5 different ROMs (3 Sense and 2 GPE). It's not a firmware issue, I flashed every firmware known to the HTC One in the past 2 months. It's not a Radio issue, I've flashed every radio available too and still have the issue.

Today, on my HTC, I went in to the advanced wireless settings and tried several things and then unchecked every box that was checked and re-checked them and kept restarting the phones wifi each time. It finally started working, but now I'm not sure what step got it working?

It'll probably be fine for a few days, then I'll loose it at home again.... But it's always fine at work?

Any thoughts? Is this Apples way of saying "You should have an iPhone"?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] millicent:
I am seeing approximately same issue over here: while I am mostly using mobile data at work, at home am on my 3rd router in as many years, just replaced an old linksys wrt600n for a netgear r6100. I would occasionally experience your problem, usually on the 5ghz network, would switch to 2.4 and then back to 5. that works all the time. there are so many variables with wi-fi connectivity, it is really difficult to investigate and diagnose. I cannot tell for sure but I think the issue is on our HTC One device side as my old ipad never dropped the 5ghz connection. I, too, tried all radio firmwares to date with same outcome.

one advice that seems to help here, under advanced wifi settings, disable the battery optimization check.
