Unlock your bootloader and read the requirements/instructions in the OP of the ROMs you are trying to flash.

Read post 2 of the all in one thread.

How do I unlock the Bootloader?

Hi, Thank you for the reply back. I have tried unlocking the bootloader but it all turns into a mess. Could you give a step by step on how to unlock the bootloader on a Xperia T? I would be thankful, I have already checked if I am able to unlock the bootloader and yes I am, I just do not know how!!

Thanks!

Re: Wipes - Isn't it also a good idea to include /system as part of your wipes when installing a fresh new rom from CWM? (So wipe 1) Data 2) Cache 3) Dalvik cache 4) /system) ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] hassy786:
No Idea

When I was trying to install a Custom Rom, I was following a video and a step by step guide and it did not mention to wipe the system so I didn't do it but I guess you could go ahead with it? Shouldn't harm the phone.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] davidtkf88:
what nightlies did you use to flash your phone? as there have been some problem for xperia t, v to boot correctly for cyanogenmod rom prior to 20131105 if i remember correctly. also, no matter what rom you flash if it is related to cyanogen then it will carry the same problem, as they use the same source to build the rom.

I am thinking about it, but I cannot tell if I could find a decent place to put it in my Prius.

An Amazon listing for the same product had better pictures and a review from a Nexus 5 owner.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] busyychild:
Just ordered one from NewEgg for 36.99 shipped using Shop Runner for 2 day free shipping. Should be here in a few days vs. forever with China ebay sellers.

Ill post up when I get it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] InsaneJester17:
I ordered this a couple weeks ago, just got it in two days ago.

So far, I'm very impressed. The suction on the mount is very strong (I'm using it dash mounted, though with a circle pad from a previous mount. It does include a circle mount too though). My slide out arms seem to stick, so when you push the button it doesn't spring right out. Not a big deal, since once you lock the phone in it, you can remove it and put it back on the mount just by twisting it sideways.

I keep my screen on and stream bluetooth music to my car. Even with that, the wireless charger keeps ahead of battery consumption. Gaining 1 percent every 3-5 minutes (guessing). Last night, I had my phone fully charged before I put it on the dock. I drove for over an hour with music steaming, and GPS navigating and the screen on the whole time. It was still fully charged when I took it off. Definitely happy with it.

It has a blue light that's always on while it's charging. I haven't decided if I like that part or not, but if I decide I don't, I'll just cover it with electrical tape. It has a purple light that blinks once when you turn your car on. No light after that until you put the phone in it. It doesn't feel overly cheap, and is very sturdy. I can't find a way to get the included vent clip to go in my Caravan, but that's more my Caravan's fault I think.

I definitely recommend this unit. I got it on ebay for 40 buck, and it took a couple weeks to come in from China. But after only a couple days with it, I love it. Super convenient.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Bleys43:
I've had mine for three weeks. Went on a ski weekend 5 hours away, navigation and play music running through Bluetooth the whole time, both ways. Always kept the phone fully charged, didn't over heat at all, and kept the phone very secure and stable. I'll keep it until someone sells one that prints money as well.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] busyychild:
Awesome reports. Mine arrives today. I am going to attach it on my Panavise mount.

Ill post up when I get it all together.

[Nexus 5 General] spielnicht:
What's your biggest pet peeve with the Nexus 5? You may have one, you may have many, or you may have none, but list only one.

For me, it's the vibration. It sucks so badly that I can't even feel it 1 cm away next to me on my desk, which needless to say is uber annoying. I'm on my second N5 and both are the same, so it's not a matter of one being defective. I can feel it find in my hands or in my pocket, but on a flat surface, nothing. I stopped counting how many important calls/message I've missed over the past week because of it.
[Nexus 5 General] indelible:
I've just started to notice the same thing, the vibration is pretty weak
[Nexus 5 General] jons227:
My biggest pet peeve with the nexus 5 is the fact that it randomly heats up when just browsing reddit or something similar. Its not like I'm playing dead trigger or some other graphic intensive game.
[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
For me it's the speaker, distorted and I can feel vibration from it throughout the phone.

Also the whole phone feels a bit cheap compared to how the n4 felt last year, with a solid feel and beautifully curved glass screen.
[Nexus 5 General] RankWinner:
Odd, when my phone vibrates I can feel it from across my desk. And that's with vibration turned down to 50%, if it's at 100% it feels like it's going to shake itself apart (and gives me a heart attack whenever it goes off as well).

My speakers, however, are quite bad. Even with a volume adjustment tweak they're very quiet and very little sound comes out of them despite the back of the phone vibrating a lot, it looks like glue/whatever it was got in the way of my speakers. It's fixable but... I don't use the speakers enough to risk taking apart my phone.
[Nexus 5 General] arnozzle:
my beef is with the placing of the volume and power buttons, maybe its my small hands but whenever I wake the phone up I press the 'volume down' button also ...
[Nexus 5 General] nohcho:
Weak, almost noon existent vibrator, terrible speaker, terrible battery life, useless ambient light sensor, terrible viewing angles of the screen. List goes on
[Nexus 5 General] 95Z28:
So much for 1 annoyance.

You do know you have a choice when it comes to android phones, right? Feel free to return the nexus and try something else
[Nexus 5 General] theremix:
Vibration here!

Have missed so many texts and calls and in turn I find myself pressing power button more often to make sure I don't have any notifications.
[Nexus 5 General] ssnacks:
The locked ringer and notification volume

I had to wake up to take a call, but I didn't want notifications waking me up. There was no easy way to silence notifications because the ringer and notification volume controls are locked together. I had to use Xposed Framework with the Ringer and Notification Volume Unlink.

The crappy thing was that I also had to revert from ART to Dalvik because Xposed only works with Dalvik.
[Nexus 5 General] nohcho:
Thanks for the advice, I didn't realize I have a choice.
[Nexus 5 General] tsaunders:
I know it's not ideal but you can go to

Settings --> Sound --> Volumes and then change them there.
[Nexus 5 General] NextNexus:
For me its 100% the speed (or lack thereof) of the camera. I have a young baby daughter and trying to get shots of her is virtually impossible b/c this is the slowest camera I've used on a smartphone since 2008. The pictures themselves come out great but way too much blur due to the shutter speed being a complete and utter joke.
[Nexus 5 General] mattcoz:
Mine is when I hold it in landscape I'm often covering the speaker and can't hear anything.
[Nexus 5 General] daern:
When 4G is enabled, the phone randomly goes beserk and drains the battery in a matter of hours, reporting 75% "Mobile Standby". Shut off 4G and it's fine. 4G remains off.

Oh, Bluetooth contact sync still sucks compared to CM10.x on N4. Only get partial contacts sync'ed to my BMW E61 :-/

Otherwise, I love it. Light usage day today - 15 hours off charge, 1.5 hours SOT (quite low for me, but I've been doing real work!), 45 mins of voice calls and bucket loads of emails - 61% battery left :)
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
The speed of the camera, absolutely. It takes pretty good quality photos (particularly with HDR+ enabled), but it's sooooo slow. I'm also really not happy with the relatively bright black level and light bleed issues of the display.

That being said, I still love this phone. The camera speed will most likely be fixed with an OTA update, and the black levels are not a deal breaker by any means.
[Nexus 5 General] androidrockz:
My biggest pet peeve has to be the speaker and the camera focus glitch. If I tap, it'll focus then unfocus. It's driving me nuts. Camera speeds are not as slow as everyone is saying they are.
[Nexus 5 General] barondebxl:
You probably didn't considering all the annoyances you have for this phone. I would have sold mine already.
[Nexus 5 General] pifsworld:
My biggest problem is the ringtone sound its not loud enough and why didn't they put two speakers in there I can't see any glue covering my speaker grill. I've missed so many calls even with volume on full.
[Nexus 5 General] xstokerx:
Wow so many ppl complain g about what seems to be an awesome phone battery life is plenty good for me getting 3-3.5 hours screen time what more do u want?

no dead pixels no yellow coloring vibration is just fine and with audio and camera mod those two are just fine now to ppl its a 350 dollar phone not a 600-700 dollar phone that alone make any other small thing erelevent. Just my opinion.
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Yes, clear data and cache are both grayed out.

Edit, clear cache is not grayed out, only data
[Nexus 5 General] skyo12:
Last questions, I promise. How long have you had the exchange account synced and your email app has never crashed?
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
I've had it sync'd on this phone about a month and never had it crash. I am using the cataclysm rom
[Nexus 5 General] skyo12:
That's just odd... I'm using Cataclysm as well.

I setup exchange again with just one account (I previously had 3 and an IMAP account) and it seems to work, but I've had occasions it owuld work for 10+ hours and start to crash again so we'll see. Thanks for your patience, appreciate it.

Whether I do the macarana or press the power button repeatedly, sometimes I can't get the screen to turn on to end a call :| started happening two days ago
[Nexus 5 General] nexicon:
My pet peeve is the way the micro USB connects to the phone. Go ahead laugh. It's upside down! All the Nexus before this had it the right way. I took pride that my nexus was always the correct way rather than every other phone out there. Sigh..what the time brings
[Nexus 5 General] egofreak:
Oh, I have one!

It happens when you are on a call and wake the screen to do some fiddling.When you go to swipe down the notification bar with your right hand, your thumb moves over the proximity sensor and turns the screen off.:silly:
[Nexus 5 General] ecdy:
From what you say the 5 is joining the majority so maybe that is the "right way.". Anyway no bother if you use wireless charging, unless you're interfacing with a computer frequently.
[Nexus 5 General] TheKorbenDallas:
Exactly! However, this actually appears to a bug, not a mere peeve. None of my previous phone suffered from this issue. I.e. the proximity sensor is supposed to be able to differentiate between your ear/cheek and your finger. Nexus 5 doesn't.

However, the above might get fixed in the future by a software update. But the very soft power button with no definitive click is something that cannot be fixed that easily. That power button is probably the most cheapening feature of this phone.
[Nexus 5 General] egofreak:
I think the proximity sensor issue is in fact not a bug. The nexus 5 however is the first phone I've seen where the proximity sensor is on the top right of the device rather than the center. Your thumb never use to be that close to it. Most phones Ive owned put the proximity sensor near the ear piece, but for obvious reasons, thats not the best place.:victory:
[Nexus 5 General] PhilipL:
Hi

I agree about the comparison with the Nexus 4. The Nexus 5 is a much cheaper phone design wise. It's pretty unremarkable, doing nothing particularly well, it is what it is, a phone designed to hit a low price point. With the Nexus 4 I really felt I was getting something special at a very low price, an unbelievable bargain. The Nexus 5, well I just feel I got what I paid for.

Regards

Phil
[Nexus 5 General] toughgamma:
i agree! when pulling down the quick settings drop-down on AOSP from the right corner, i always manage to make my screen dimmer because of the sensor.

Also in calls the same issue, ill try to pull the drop down menu while in a call, and accidentally trick the phone into thinking its on my head again.
[Nexus 5 General] malibu_23:
U paid for a awesome phone. Why yall complain so much?:confused:

The specs are relatively similar from the n4. (sans the screen/processor bump) Why dont u just get a N4, then drop it, complain about the back glass/crummy camera/crummy screen/battery life/heat/low speaker. And everything else xda guys complained about when the N4 was new. SMH. cant please nobody on xda. I need to stop coming to this part of the forum. you'd think the N5 was a POS reading most of these threads. I feel sorry for the lurkers who listen to you guys and let your nagging/nit picking sway their purchasing decision. there are alotta worse phones out there, but not many that are better than the N5.
[Nexus 5 General] RedBlueGreen:
biggest pet peeve for the Nexus 5 is when people complain about it
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
The only thing I hated was that it took me 2 rmas to get a fully working (as far as I can tell) device. My first one annoyed me because the button rattled whenever tapping the screen and my second one had the really loud vibration someone else mentioned on the first page.

Now for my actual pet peeve (those others were just defects)- it's too awesome :D. I love mine now that I have no issues
[Nexus 5 General] laufersteppenwolf:
Thread cleaned

Guys, there is no need to fight. Everyone does have his/her opinion, but one of the golden, unwritten rules on xda is "When you have nothing useful to say, you should say nothing at all". And this applies here pretty well.

So let it be now, and move on ;)
[Nexus 5 General] johninsf:
Speaker for sure..so buzzy.

Also the muted microphone when using plugin ear buds. Seriously... Can't that be fixed with a software update?

I gotta get a small bluetooth conference speaker for my desk. Suggestions under 100 bucks?

[Nexus 5 General] FXOjafar:
I came here from the HTC One.

Ok, so the speakers aren't as good as HTC's, but everything else is a lot better over here.

Especially the GPS for me which I use a lot. I made a lot of wrong turns with GPS on the One. The Nexus 5 GPS is insanely accurate. :)
[Nexus 5 General] aooga:
Really? My GPS isn't accurate at all or takes over 2 minutes to even get a lock. This is on my 2nd replacement. Many people have this issue, so Ill just wait for google to release a fix...hopefully.

You got lucky :)
[Nexus 5 General] razholio:
Exactly. Don't tell the OP that stereo separation is a ratio of distance between speakers and distance to listener.... Everything is absolute! ;)

Worrying about it so much, just having to be extra careful all the time. Silly I guess. Otherwise it's all good.

My biggest pet peeve about the Nexus 5?

All of the morons who complain about the speaker and buttons rattling. Try buying an S4 or the new Note off contract, lmao. Seriously going to complain over some loose buttons or speaker holes not cut wide enough when you paid literally half (if not less than half price) for the phone, compared to the other phones.

Go buy one of those phones, then. Whiners...
[Nexus 5 General] :
My biggest pet peeve is how the alarm is turned off. Swipe to the right and it turns the alarm off, I'm use to swiping to the right to unlock it, that when I'm in my sleep haze I accidentally turn it off and fall back to sleep! My fault but I wish I could change it around, lol.
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
Well that's a soft ware peeve not really relative to just the nexus 5. I just realized there is one thing I hate which is the dust that gets in the edges. I usually have a case on and don't notice but sometimes I like to take it out of the case and enjoy its naked awesomeness lol
[Nexus 5 General] :
Ah, so all Android's are like this. No way to change it?
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
Well not all android just that app. You can try and find a different one to download from the play store that you might like better.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Thanks, I'm going to have to do that.
[Nexus 5 General] elnitrox:
the only this that disappoint me is..

i had gnex for about a year and then change to N5

even though its only 720p i still find the amoled screens way better

popping colors i dont have that burn in issues with my gnex

but g2 and htc one lcd display are really good way ahead against N5

but yeah i still like the phone speed.cam.32gb its all good

kinda 50/50 with the screen display
[Nexus 5 General] disclaimernotice:
My biggest pet peeve? Chrome. And that lousy chromium engine that doesn't support flash.
[Nexus 5 General] _jordan_:
Easily rectified with a new browser, however flash is somewhat of a dinosaur these days.

It's on the way out.

[Nexus 5 General] jdk2:
That's terrific. As soon as all these sites that use flash change to whatever is coming next, we'll be all set :fingers-crossed:

"Soft touch" material on black phone...

...there are a number of reviews saying that the (black) phone has a nice "soft touch" material on the back and the sides, some say it makes the phone feels "luxurious"....and good grip...let me just say that this material is plain old reject from the late nineties used on phones like Nokia 8210, SE W880i and notebook PC such as Compaq Presario 2800, and some low grade electronic gadgets, remote control, etc. This material/surface will eventually get sticky and melt and feel like tacky semi-dried glue. The old Nexus One is another example.

If you want to know how the material "feel", go touch a bicycle tire tube or new car tire sidewall. It is not "soft touch" nor 'luxurious", its plain sticky and rubbery! Yes, it will give you a good grip, as if you need that like holding on to a bike's handle bar.

And you can't slide the phone into you pocket as it's sticky and will get stuck unless you wriggle it.

And this "rubber" coating has some heat conserving effect preventing the phone from getting cool!.

My open box experience is ruined the moment I touch the phone, makes me regret that I didn't go for the white one :crying:

To me, it's regret at the first touch.

PS: I think the Alcatel One Touch Idol X and Sony Xperia M has obviously nicer/better rear cover material comparatively to the Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
"Whatever is coming next" is HTML5, which has already been around for a while and is gradually replacing Flash everywhere. I used to be annoyed that Android was dropping Flash support, but HTML5 is becoming prevalent enough now that it's just not that big of a deal to me. I can understand why some people are upset, but Flash is honestly a dying technology. It really doesn't make a lot of Sense for Android to have Flash compatibility when even Adobe doesn't support it anymore.
[Nexus 5 General] disclaimernotice:
I agree that flash is dying and isn't as good as html5, but since many sites still use it, is it really that hard for Google to maintain support for it?
[Nexus 5 General] JDogg1329:
The speakers are a let down.. The camera is fine sometimes even good, battery life has been good, screen is beautiful and vivid and bright, phone is snappy as hell and haven't had one slow down. Amazing phone I love it. Just upgraded from an s3. Rooting and installing a rom was so easy and everything just works
[Nexus 5 General] _jordan_:
You know guys, my pet peeve was the screen size being too large, but it has grown on me.

Everything looks great when viewed on this device. Its easier to type as well.
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
Well, Adobe doesn't support it anymore. I don't think it really makes sense for Google to support software that isn't even supported by the company that created it.
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
I know something with a price range between $1 and $20 that could solve you're pet peeve. Check out the accessories forum. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 General] _jordan_:
Sounds like you bought the white model.

I have the black model, and I agree that it feels like one of those comfort grip bic pens. The grippy feeling is a plus, as it makes it less likely the phone will slip out of your hand, or off of a surface and fall. Anyone who has owned a glossy plastic phone knows what I'm talking about.

I am curious to see how well the finish holds up. So far so good.
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
He specifically says black in there lol how could you think he meant white. He also compares it to the nexus 7 which until recently was only black (now they have a white version too)
[Nexus 5 General] _jordan_:
I meant to insert *should have.

The white model isnt my thing, but I'm glad we had options this time around.

I am still wishing that white galaxy nexus made it to production.
[Nexus 5 General] Beauenheim:
My only pet peeve is that the ear piece is a little small, if its not right on my ear I can't hear anything.
[Nexus 5 General] colins:
The white rear / black side+front is a color mis-match. It's like fitting an aftermarket rear cover.

Is this a Google or LG bad taste in producing bad color, bad material phone?

I just went around browsing phones on display and seems that ANY phone looks and feels better than the Nexus 5. The LG G2 is waaaay better looking and "touch" than the N5!

Well maybe it's done deliberately so that they don't cannibalize the sale of LG and Motorola phones.
