[Nexus 5 General] onthecouchagain:
For me, the location and volume of the speaker. It easily gets covered and muffled up when playing games in landscape or even when handling the phone during speaker call. Kind of annoying.

And I guess the recurring bug in 4.4.1 (and 4.4) where it randomly adds a blank home screen for no reason. I have to long press a widget or icon to get it to go away. It's weird.
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
Good to know it's not just me then. I haven't seen anyone else post about this.
[Nexus 5 General] onthecouchagain:
Yeah. A few members over at the Android Central forums have said they noticed this bug too. Kind of annoying. GOogle may not know about it, though... No one else is reporting it really.
[Nexus 5 General] Jayrod1980:
Mine is that if I've got it on the wireless charger... The phone will not power off. It starts to and then reboots instead of full power down. Try it... Turn the phone off while it still is on the charger. Let me know of it will actually power down.

Second pet peeve... Distortion and rattle from the speaker while playing notifications. They really could have isolated that speaker more with out really adding any bulk to the device.
[Nexus 5 General] ebright.xda:
I ran into that bug once too but I think it was before I got 4.4.1

Those with the vibrate problems have you tried the Vibration Config app from the play store? There are reviews saying that it works with the N5
[Nexus 5 General] LBTaylor1984:
Pet Peeve would be the big glass on the Camera, really? It's just cruising for a bruising being that size. Other than that I think it's a pretty solid phone, I can't comment on battery life, as I can't put it down at the moment, so it's hard to say but I used it all day up in London and it lasted until i went to bed, so no complaints. since 4.4.1 it's lasting even longer.
[Nexus 5 General] aavvaallooss:
Speaker, of course: Volume and quality. Volume improves substantialy on 4.4.1 but not quality
[Nexus 5 General] radical86:
This...

Wish speaker had better quality.
[Nexus 5 General] onthecouchagain:
Unfortunately I'm stilling seeing the bug on 4.4.1. :(
[Nexus 5 General] androidrockz:
I just got 4.4.2, side load that and see what you get.
[Nexus 5 General] onthecouchagain:
Got 4.4.2 last night as well. Was a pleasant surprise!

Hopefully that bug is gone...
[Nexus 5 General] HRodMusic:
The biggest one would have to be the screen, the colors are not the best and the angles are very bad, camera and speakers come in at a close second.
[Nexus 5 General] mb3030:
no pet peeves with the device. I don't have vibration issues, low speak vol (as loud as my n4 which was fine for me - i don't need/want a boom box coming out of my phone), screen is good, battery is fine (better than my n4, but not crazy good like a maxx or whatever but i knew that when buying it) etc...

I think far too many people think this is a Jesus phone or whatever. I have no issues, my brother has no issues, and my co-worker with the phone has no issues. I think, like what seems to happen a lot, that the ones with issues speak out and the ones without don't. So we get an over representation of the minority and falsely believe its the majority (well people who don't think falsely believe that).
[Nexus 5 General] DigitalUnderground:
The colors are true... AMOLED has brainwashed users into thinking their colors are supreme when in fact they're not.
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
AnandTech reviewed the phone and found the screen to be the best-calibrated display they've ever seen on an Android phone. What you're seeing are actually true-to-life colors.
[Nexus 5 General] HRodMusic:
Amoled screens are bad, i compare my screens to the iphone 5. thats the standard imo
[Nexus 5 General] androidrockz:
I'd like to comment. I know someone who has an iPhone 5. I used to have an HTC One V with a 400x800 display. Was trash compared to the iPhone. I got my Nexus and decided to do a camera comparison between both of the 5's (Nexus and iPhone). Looked at the screen of the iP5 and it looked like absolute garbage compared to my Nexus 5. I could see the pixelation (it wasn't as sharp as the Nexus).

Sorry I got all fanboy on you. I just wanted to tell.
[Nexus 5 General] DigitalUnderground:
I noticed the same
[Nexus 5 General] HRodMusic:
hahah its all personal preference, the nexus has a higher dpi but the iphone has a better color reproduction.
[Nexus 5 General] androidrockz:
To be honest I did notice saturation was a tad higher (on the iPhone) but it really won't matter.
[Nexus 5 General] Hero_Guy:
I hate how there's a bit more noise in lowlight pictures with the new camera update. I'd rather have a slower shutter and less noise than a faster camera. Just wish I can get the old camera without losing all the other bug fixes
[Nexus 5 General] rickyx32:
I love my black 32GB Nexus 5, but the romanticism of owning a nexus phone has worn off quite a bit after only owning the phone for a week. Leaving my trusty Galaxy S3 behind I find that the Nexus 5's viewing angles to be borderline atrocious. That's my biggest peeve. The screen's blacks are pretty bad and the weird lighting effect bordering the screen is annoying.

Besides that, the "piped" sound coming from the speaker tends to also be annoying at times. There are many people who are OCD about the Nexus 5 having a rattling power button and volume rocker, but my S3 was always like that. Vibration is unusually loud on the Nexus 5, but the vibration feedback itself is pretty lame. Even at the reasonably low price point, the should have refined the design a bit more. I wouldn't have minded if they used matte plastic buttons with rounded edges instead of the ceramic buttons with sharp edges. They just feel crude. They should have made the bottom microphone look like the top one instead of making it seem like the phone had dual speakers. I don't like to complain about the software aspect of the Nexus lines since updates are always around the corner, but they really blew it with the camera, even after updating to 4.4.2 it still suffers annoying bugs and panorama still sucks...

Whew I had to get that out of my chest, sorry. In the end the sheer CPU/GPU power and Nexus sodtware experience at a reasonably low price makes up shortcomings.
[Nexus 5 General] 3UR0TR45H:
My biggest pet peeve is the influx of all the newbie owners. The price point and advertisements are starting to dilute the Nexus as a developer device. Sorry to say but the Moto X and the GPE have the feel that the N5 lost.
[Nexus 5 General] DigitalUnderground:
I'd thank you 100x if I could. This is my biggest pet peeve as well. With its price and availability through carriers it sucks. Worse than the galaxy newbies and those devices are actually marketed heavily

We were all newbies once. Gotta start somewhere.
[Nexus 5 General] pgptheoriginal:
The ambient light sensor (or the software part which sets auto brightness) really needs calibration: it works well only in extreme conditions, complete darkness and direct sunlight, otherwise the screen is always too bright.
[Nexus 5 General] DigitalUnderground:
It would be nice if they all started by watching the noob video and reading the rules. Duplicate threads, pointless threads, threads in the wrong forum, little to no reading before posting... Same with little to no searching...

Thanks and I agree, new members should do their research and read the sticky's before posting. That said, junk threads are the cost of having a lively community. Increased user base = increased content good and bad. XDA has grown beyond being a developer site which is a good thing. Non dev-enthusiasts inhabit and contribute to general forums and devs have developer subforums.

the speaker volume is pretty weak, that would probably be my biggest complaint. i do perfer the curved glass screen of the nexus 4 though, battery could be a little bit better other then that it's gravy.
[Nexus 5 General] dicecuber:
^are you on 4.4.2?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] ericshmerick:
4:3 camera aspect ratio. Coming from the HTC One, it sucks having a little square for every photo. Needs more aspect.

Also, having to stand really far back to capture in the frame.
[Nexus 5 General] _jordan_:
^ if you lower the quality, you can probably get your photos to fill the screen.

Given the choice, I'd recommend taking the largest photos the camera can take. This way your photos will look better on multiple devices.

Sent from my MI 2SC
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
4:3 is actually a pretty standard aspect ratio for photography. It's much less common to see a camera with a 16:9 sensor like the One.
[Nexus 5 General] HRodMusic:
im with you on that one, it records video in 16:9 so i dont see why it cant do pictures at that same ratio =(
[Nexus 5 General] dazz87:
Thank. People who are crying forget about the price they are paying for this. Most other high end phones start at 500-700. They want perfect screen SD slot and a 4000 mAh battery for 350. Smh
[Nexus 5 General] R3ap67:
It would have to be the battery and the speakers distorting every so often. I had camera problems with the HDR function but it feels better with the update now. On a side note, its my first Nexus and I'm loving it even more than my S4
[Nexus 5 General] sparhawk6:
My biggest pet peave is the horrendous focus in camcorder mode in low light! It rarely works correctly. I'm mainly recording kids and I need fast focus! 4.4.2 did not fix it.
[Nexus 5 General] LiquidSolstice:
I paid $450 including shipping. I paid $550 for a brand new HTC One. I don't have any specific complaints about the Nexus 5, but please get off your high horse, a $100 discount is not a get-out-of-jail-free card for any glaring defects.

If a company like HTC that is burning in flames and will go bankrupt any month now can put out such a high quality device like the HTC One and only charge $550, it is highly unreasonable to tell anyone that Google, one of the single most successful companies on the planet right now, can't make something that gets close to it for $100 less.
[Nexus 5 General] Paddington:
My biggest pet peeve is the complaining about a $350-400 smart phone. If you don't like it, get a new phone. That's what I did when I had the incredible piece of crap Moto X. I told people why they shouldn't buy it, and I bought the Nexus 5 the second it was available.
[Nexus 5 General] funcrusher:
Have you used a GPe device? My HTC One GPe experience was horrible. Laggy, choppy animations and just a feel of 'something's not right'. I think the Moto X is great, though.
[Nexus 5 General] miinshiou:
I vaguely remember someone famous said something similar about display density.... Many people didn't agree. I've got a few portable stereo speakers. I haven't found one that is 2-3 feet long.
[Nexus 5 General] sirsmokey:
Speakers on the bottom :(
[Nexus 5 General] nldxda:
Better than the back though, right? To bad n5 doesn't have stereo and quality speakers.. I wish more manufacturers would follow htc's lead...
[Nexus 5 General] dicecuber:
They had to put in crap speakers to cut costs

Team Nexus 5 sucks
[Nexus 5 General] DadOudidOuda:
My biggest pet peeve would be the rattling buttons. I know I can RMA it but the device is otherwise flawless. I'll see in a couple of month if it still bothers me.
[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
I'm repeating myself in this thread and saying my speaker is the worst thing on this phone.. but I'm only doing so after playing gta sa on this phone, it is embarrassingly bad!!

I really need to rma and hopefully get one with the new speaker module as seen on YouTube.
[Nexus 5 General] nldxda:
Link to YouTube video?
[Nexus 5 General] Lokitez:
My only two pet peeves with my Nexus 5 are:

- My power button rattles with a firm shake of the phone. Fortunately, I don't walk around shaking my phone next to my face all that much, so I'm unlikely to RMA the device and risk getting a dead pixel or worse.

- I absolutely loved the slightly curved edges of the Nexus 4 screen. They made side-swiping (such as how many Google apps now have a menu that swipes in from the left) ridiculously easy and comfortable. Of course, every case pretty much ruins this anyway, so I can see why it wasn't a priority for the Nexus 5.

Sure, the battery could be better. I'd love for my phone to go for 80 hours of screen-on time without a recharge, but what the Nexus 5 gives me is plenty. When it's not, I have an 11,000 mAh battery pack that I keep in my bag at all times.

Sure, the speaker could be better. I'd love for my phone to have the front facing speakers of the HTC One. In fact, I suspect that the next Nexus will incorporate this feature. I don't really use the phone's speaker all that much, though. I have a Vers 1Q Bluetooth speaker that I use quite a bit for listening to music when I'm moving around a lot or when I'm on a conference call. I have Pioneer HDQ-2000 headphones for when I want a really quality listening experience, such as listening to music at work.

I actually prefer limited viewing angles. I don't want people being able to easily look over my shoulder and see what I'm doing. I use my phone straight-on, especially when I'm outside on a sunny day and I have my polarized sunglasses on, so I don't need 180° viewing angles.

Long story short, I'm exceptionally happy with my Nexus 5. I'd be happy to tweak a few things here and there, but based on the added cost those things would add, it's probably not worth it because of the workarounds I have.

Can we go to LG and request a new speaker? Like the g2 one or it doesn't fit?

Team Nexus 5 sucks
[Nexus 5 General] nimfa:
Am I the only one that is really satisfied with the speaker quality. The thing I hate about it is the position, coz I always accidentally cover the speaker and thus smother the sound
[Nexus 5 General] Lucke:
for those of you complaining about the sound quality from the speaker... just out of curiosity, what exactly were you expecting?

i understand the desire for a louder speaker (so you can actually hear notifications come in) and that was fixed to a point with the OTA's... i guess i don't understand the desire for stellar quality for playing music loud and distortion free over such a small speaker. with decent to good headphones, or a portable BT speaker (that offers portability and 1000x the dynamic range, and pretty inexpensive too), i don't really get the point of ever listening to music through the phone speaker itself.

again, i'm just asking to understand where you're coming from. please don't take this as an attack of any kind
[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
Personally I was hoping for something better than what was on previous phone, nexus 4. But if it was just average then no big deal.... but what I got is the worse I have ever heard any any smart phone I have had, it's really bad, extremely distorted and vibrates throughout the whole phone.

BTW.. did you check the YouTube video above to see the upgraded sound module?
[Nexus 5 General] nldxda:
That's pretty cool, the mod he did...

Looks like he replaced the module himself and not an actual manufacturer revision..
[Nexus 5 General] Jaskwith:
I don't need stereo speakers on the phone or anything because after all its a mobile phone but I hate how it only comes out on one side. Have to flip the phone around so that my finger doesn't block the side that outputs sound...
[Nexus 5 General] skyo12:

I've tried just about everything; Wiped, factory reset, side loaded email client, flashed factory image, installed a different ROM, etc. Nothing is working... After working for a few hours, the email client just crashes and says "unfortunately, email app has stopped".
[Nexus 5 General] ecdy:
screen protector edges

If your case interferes with the screen protector edge you can cut down the screen protector. It might be hard to get the protector to align exactly with the edge of the case, but why would an extra millimeter or less of exposure matter? A finger would probably not be able to touch that limited area.

That's the exchange app screen, does your email app management screen have the "clear data" greyed out as well?

Hi I have question.

My friend give me x10 min pro because he cant turn him on.

phone isnt totally dead. He vibrates when i turn on be thats all, screen comes brighter a little for 1-2 sec and than goes black again. i can connect phone to pc and SEUS. I already repaired with seus but still facing same problem.. can it be somehow fixed?

also led doesnt turn on.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Pras_92:
Hey mate, try this,

NOTE: THIS PROCESS WILL RELOCK UR BOOTLOADER AND ROOT WILL BE GONE

Step 1: Download Sony Ericsson update service software (SEUS) http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/supp...ro?cc=gb&lc=en

Step 2: Install it and open it

Step 3: Now do a hot reboot on the device by pressing and holding both the menu and power keys at the same time

Step 4: Without wasting even a single second press and hold the back button and connect your USB cable while holding Back

Step 5: Do not release the back key until the SEUS identifies your device. When it identifies your device, the update option will appear on your screen.

(It may say that you have a latest firmware already, but you click repair anyway and after the operation starts, You may release your back key.

Step 6: Wait until the update process gets finished and reboot your device now you will have a stock firmware with locked bootloader

:good: all the best
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] w3rew0lf:
nope not working but tnx

Same problem as before. Vibrates and looks like it will turn on (screen is little brighter) and it turns of than.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Aaskereija:
Got the same problem with my e10i using cm7. Try to fix that with flashing sony firmware, but only show the sony ericsson screen and start again, looks like can't boot the rom, but if i use cm7 again it freeze on nAa screen and i can't do anything.

Sry for probably bad english
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ldg2k:
not sure why your led doesn't come on (or does it but blinks maybe) but the symptoms described suggest the most likely cause of the malfunction is the dead lcd. This phone will not turn on completely without the LCD or with a faulty one so your best bet would be to replace the lcd with a known working one and see if that brings your phone back to life.

If seus see your phone which it does, according to your description then your problem is hardware, not software.

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

are you sure your phone's hardware is OK and the phone has never been water damaged? Because what you describe looks like power cycle malfunction which is usually caused by faulty hardware, while the software is totally OK.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jaydeeishere55:
I'm new to rooting and all of this type of thing, i figured I would first start with my HTC Flyer. I successfully unlocked the bootloader, and installed SuperUser, upon installing greenify and i tried to install the Xposed Framework, and my device now is stuck in a boot loop.

When enter the bootloader and do a factory reset or try to enter factory it completely freezes, and when i try to connect it to my PC via fastboot the PC says that the USB device that is connected cannot be recognized and fastboot will not work. Did i completely fry this device? Also if you have time I couldnt figure out a proper way to flash a custom rom so if anyone has a guide for that I would appreciate a link to that as well.

Thank you so much!!
