1) I didn't say custom roms don't get the bugs iron out i've been rooting/flashing for 4-5 years now and have used some amazing roms. I said they were not for the everyday user and if you don't know what you are doing it can be a hassle.

2) A lot of people argue that the Nexus 5 is a developer phone. I didn't say it was destined for XDA I almost said the exact opposite since average users are buying it.

3) Never said IOS 7 was good/bad nor have I ever used IOS. In your comparison though, lag vs. the entire camera not functioning.

4) I know how to search im just more of a lurker... and I've used that camera app before. The problem is not the quality of the image/camera and that is what that app is aiming to fix. I actually think the N5 is able to take great pictures in most situations. The problem with the camera is that while using apps that utilize the nexus's camera it will become unusable giving you a black/green screen with noise making the camera unusable until you reboot the phone.

I know the camera issue does not affect many users who do not use apps like snap-chat and a few others (or I think using face-unlock will also trigger this) but a lot of less tech savvy have been returning the phone thinking it doesn't function properly. For tech savvy users like us we know the new camera API is coming and can wait it out.

Also, they are exclusively featuring camera on the N5 in all of the commercials I have seen.

Funny story to go with this also. My GF suggested that I need to get a new phone since snap-chat doesn't work anymore... I just sort of laughed and said no way! But just thought it was an interesting perspective.
[Nexus 5 General] mistahseller:
So who are these people returning their nexus 5 because of the camera? Are they in the n5 v g2 thread?

I'm going to stop reading the general forum, all i see is people whining about this or that.

If you're not satisfied just return your device and get anything else.

To get back on topic, most of us don't give a flying F* about iOS around here
[Nexus 5 General] Ben36:
All you are saying in the op is that Apple release sh1t software that needs fixing more than Google

[Nexus 5 General] Shoopz:
I use snap chat every day many times a day and I do not have this green problem you speak of
[Nexus 5 General] jimgreco:
I actually get that issue quite often. Occasionally its just a black screen and gives a camera error. Doesn't fix itself until the phones restarted. Stock / Rooted.
[Nexus 5 General] BinkXDA:
There are FAR more iOS 7 users than there are Android 4.4 users. When 400 million iOS 7 users have an issue—92% of all iOS users out there—a lot of people are affected. When 1 million Android 4.4 users have an issue—1% of all Android users out there—this is a very tiny portion of the Android ecosystem and Google does not feel they need to resolve issues timely. You can blame Google and the entire Android ecosystem for this.
[Nexus 5 General] adio01:
Not whining and I didn't say that i'm unhappy with the device or want to return it if that was directed towards me, just saying Google needs to fix a few things.

[Nexus 5 General] meangreenie:
They need to get an update for the n5 quick, to fix the 'bog roll' quality speaker which somehow manages to vibrate the phone more than the actual vibrator does.
[Nexus 5 General] yabbb:
There is a 4.4.1 update rolling out shortly. No link, but easily googled.
[Nexus 5 General] foxmeister:
It should probably be mentioned that Google have decoupled several apps from the core OS that in iOS would require an OS "update".

For example, Chrome is now a separate update whereas Safari in iOS is not. If security updates to the browser are required, Google just updates Chrome in the Play store, whereas Apple would release an OS "update" which may in reality only affect the browser.

I'm not saying that is always going to be the case, but it may explain some of the timing "differences".

EDIT: Here's a good example, from the iOS 7.0.4 update:

The Android equivalent of a Facetime fix would likely just be a new version of Hangouts on Play.

Regards,

Dave
[Nexus 5 General] adio01:
Where do you see that it is being rolled out shortly? Most of the articles seem to be a bit inconclusive stating "it may be released soon" and "it is rumored to be worked on" I don't think these are really telling us much, it seems like click bait. One article states, "Android versions such as Android 4.4.1, Android 4.6.7, and Android 9.9.9 have been discovered within its server logs"

9.9.9 on the way guys! :highfive:

I would rather have one good update that fixes everything than 4 smaller ones that keep breaking things. But that's just me, I like my phone to work all around as a whole and have not seen any pressing issues with Kit Kat so far that can't wait a little while longer.

[Nexus 5 General] marleyfan61:
So here we are less than a month and a half in. We've had the 4.4.1 udate and the 4.4.2 update. Plus the OP did not take into account the initial update that the first shipment of phones had on first startup. Plus as someone pointed out there are the numerous updates to individual components like Hangouts, Maps, etc. I think the implication from the OP is that Google isn't as "on top of it" as Apple. I think he's wrong. Besides, any update Apple puts out will never fix the fact that it's an iPhone.
[Nexus 5 General] DdragonPT:
well in a space of 5 days since the opening of this thread already two updates for the kitkat, you got what you wanted.
[Nexus 5 General] auggie246:
Do u know how stupid u sound right now...

Well u want updates, google gave you 2 in 2 weeks now. Google wants Big stable updates instead of small and potentially deadly bugs.
[Nexus 5 General] phositadc:
How is a mere factual comment stupid? It still took Google weeks longer than Apple to fix serious issues like volume.

No need for personal attacks, friend. Reported.

[Nexus 5 General] craigbailey1986:
What's the point of reporting someone because of the word stupid? Did it seriously hurt your feelings or something? I agree that they could have chosen a different word but any word you replace it with could be perceived as offensive... To some....

And why even come compare apples to oranges. Different os, different issues, different coding, which may mean longer process or even more strenuous testing.... They have to first verify the issue in house and then find a solution which doesn't create another issue. Not an easy task my friend.

Nor does this thread seem to be about the nexus 5 more about Google and apple... Maybe you should report your own thread for being in the wrong section and ask for it to be moved to the correct section....

/Rant over....
[Nexus 5 General] Dani897:
is the op happy now? google fixed the camera, volume, bt volume control, and who knows what else all at once.
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
Apple is known to wait a long time between updates and almost none of the core components can be updated without an OS update. iOS 7 was so buggy that they had to do a bunch of updates however. This was a big change for them. On the other hand, Kit-Kat was not nearly as buggy as iOS 7 on its first launch that a bunch of quick updates were not needed. I don't see how Apple's model is one to follow. Are you asking Google to put out a crap initial release like iOS 7?
[Nexus 5 General] Dani897:
^^^ haha, this!! yes they are fast, and take nice pictures and face time and airplay and blah blah blah.. if you can't figure out video calls/chats on android go get an iphone and face time your iphone friends but i'll be having fun with my nfc stickers and android beam and Qi charger and turn by turn nav and free alternative nav apps, and wifi direct and $4 mhl adapter (vs $40 for an apple hdmi adapter)

sure apple can get Qi via an expensive case, and airplay is equivlent to wifi direct with miracast but again apple tv is more expensive than chrome cast.

the big difference is that accesories you get for an android will probably be supported by other operating systems at some point if not already because they are existing standards. Qi i beleive is available on some windows phone 8 devices, not sure what else, but i'll bet is samsung creates an android alternative then they will support these things as they were the first to release some of them through android. apple comes up with proprietary standards that work with other apple devices but then they eventually stop supporting things planning obsolescence into the product like changing the music app so you have to update itunes and no alternative mtp apps for linux work anymore and possibly breaking older docks and car radio compatibility.. i had an ipod compatible radio in my car back in the day so i got the iphone 3g instead of trying to find a g1 or wait for a nexus 1 but the thing was that the apple certified product didn't charge the phone.. i just got a message that my charger wasn't compatible... it had some music control functionality but i still had to manipulate the phone somewhat, not like it worked with my ipod... and they continue to do this. i swear if bluetooth wasn't so essential to a modern phone apple would have created their own but they'd start killing of certain protocols over time so you'd have to buy more stuff... yes this happens with bt anyway but if you can change the bt stack like on a linux based os then you can always add support back in.

they do smart things... like lightning, and display port and that magnetic charge thingy. the only reason i hate lightning is it's basically usb but it's only available to apple, like there are already too many versions of usb so lets create one more but you have to buy an apple product to use it? really?. what's with patents on holding things via magnets anyway? is that really a novel idea? i mean i had magnets holding things to my refriderator as long as i've been alive... was it really a stretch to hold on a power cord with them? or a phone dock? (palm) do we really live in a country where you can patent magnets?
[Nexus 5 General] PsychDrummer:
IMO, I don't think that either volume nor camera was a "serious" issue. I don't normally use the speakers since I use headphones/cassette adapter. Even for people who do use speakers I don't think it was as bad as people made it out to be. Yes, the camera was slow but again not that serious. IIRC, iOS7 had security issues where you could bypass the lockscreen and I'm sure there were more as people have mentioned in the thread. In regard to the issues the N5 had, I was actually impressed at how quickly Google pushed it out. I honestly thought we would have had to wait until the next major update or something.
[Nexus 5 General] phositadc:
Settle down folks. I'm an android guy, not an iPhone guy. When I posted the op I was just frustrated that Apple was pushing out fixes to both substantive (security issues) and aesthetic (the contrast in the ui) issues within mere weeks of ios7 being released, but that google hadn't fixed things like volume (presumably a very simple fix, but maybe I'm wrong) for a month.

Yes, I am happy that they've started pushing out fixes. As far as I'm concerned this thread can be closed.

And for the record, I didn't actually report the guy above. I'm not that much of a pansy. Just wanted to make the point that personal attacks are never necessary, especially when the premise of the op is purely factual. I don't think that stating facts should be a basis for people getting so worked up.

There's the exact address go view the quick cover, dock, and other official G Pad V500 accessories on LG's US website.

This is the I used when I just spent nearly an hour on the phone with two different operators at LG support. It baffles my mind that they can't understand my confusion when I inquire about the devices listed specifically on their website (complete with instructions on how to use them!)

The final word I got was that "some of these accessories are not yet available within the United States". No sh*t Sherlock!!!

That's what I was assuming... and I guess that's the case. I told them they should take them down from the US website until they're available because I can't be the only frustrated customer looking for official device accessories.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] n_alvarez2007:
Hey everyone,

So like many users on this forum, I was a moron and decided to try out the 4.3 update which upgraded my baseband to I747UCUEMJB. Realizing my mistake and not particularly happy with 4.3, I remembered I had made a nandroid backup from 4.1.1 on an extSD. Everything went smoothly as usual when I restored from the Nandroid backup.

My problem now is prior to making the backup, I tinkered with the rom using TiBu to eliminate bloatware. Now my camera isn't working and I can't Odin back to a stock 4.1.1 build because the baseband's don't match.

Am I screwed or can someone provide me an alternative? I have the 4.3 update still which I can flash so if that's my alternative that's what I'll have to do.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] theramsey3:
Did you delete the apps with tibu or just freeze them? I personally never delete bloat I only freeze it. In case I have problems like yours.

If you deleted them I would flash a 4.3 rom to get back to where you have a useable phone.

Thank you for your response. It confirmed what I already kind of knew but I figured I'd ask in case someone knew something I didn't.

THIS IS FOR 4.4 ROMS ONLY. I CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES THAT MAY OCCUR IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE IT OTHERWISE.

If you want twrp you need to pull Omni's bootable_recovery, unzip it and replace it with the cm recovery in /bootable/recovery.
