For specific contacts, edit the contact, and press on the down arrow in the name field. Put both the surname and forname in the "first" category.

Yeah you would need fastboot working to lock your bootloader.

Borrow another PC or can't you downgrade to Win 8?

Didn't know you had to relock for a hboot update, thought that was just for RUU. Anyways, I could use my desktop tomorrow that runs Win8 (NOT 8.1) x64 that also has USB 3.0 (difference is my desktop uses Intel whereas my laptop uses AMD). Would that work?

You should be ok the only problem you may have is the USB 3 ports

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eternalnoir:
Hi guys,

I own a LG Prada 3.0, also called LG P940.

I rooted my phone a while back and installed an ICS rom, thanks to a tutorial provided by another member. It works like a charm.

Now, will there be at some point in the future any work done to allow this phone to update to Android KitKat 4.4? Or is the LG Prada 3.0 considered too obsolete and outdated to even hope for an update ? (forget about the LG people, they've already released the ICS update a while back only for a few countries).

Thank you for your feedback.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshpdavis80:
I currently have a Note 2 on Verizon and have been thinking about switching to a Nexus 5 on AT&T. I had a bad experience with the Galaxy Nexus and have heard negative reviews of the N5 regarding battery life, reception, screen problems, etc. I am trying to decide between the N5 and getting a Moto X off contract for the same price ($349). I have to decide by the 16th because my $150 discount expires then for the Moto X. Please help. Thanks!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
You are on a Nexus 5 forum, so it is likely that you will get biased opinions. Personally, I love the N5. I don't have any complaints at this time (Except for lousy service with Sprint - but that is not a device issue)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radeon962:
My N5 is in my pocket and my Moto X Developer Edition is at home. Moto X is a nice phone, but it's no Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fallingd0wn:
I have both sitting on my desk in front of me now. One of them has to go back. Dev Edition Moto X on VZ and an N5 on T-Mobile. Honestly, both phones are great. I love the build quality of the X and it's the first Android phone I've used that actually has useful additions to the OS instead of gimmicks. The fact that it got 4.4 so quickly is encouraging as well. That being said, I've always been a Nexus fan. My first Android phone ever was a Nexus One. The N5 is definitely faster with a larger, sharper screen. The quick updates and huge dev support are big pluses too.

Neither of them has what I would call great battery life. The X might be slightly better. I had a Note 2 on VZ as well. It will blow them both out of the water in that regard. I haven't noticed any reception or screen problems with the N5 other than poor off angle viewing.

If you care about flashing ROMs and kernels you want the Nexus. I assume your code only applies to the standard edition X. You'll be lucky to maintain root much less flash anything without having a dev model. Not that there's a lot to flash right now anyway. Personally, I'll probably end up sticking with the X simply because I use a lot of mobile data. T-Mobile coverage isn't cutting it for me and getting 6+GB on ATT will be expensive. I have grandfathered unlimited with VZ and a big corp discount.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshpdavis80:
Do you have at&t? Do you have reception problems?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshpdavis80:
I am expecting it to be less than than the note 2 because the battery is smaller. However, I don't want to get a new phone that constantly needs to be charged. How long does it last you on average?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xBeerdroiDx:
N5. AT&T. no reception issues. on a custom kernel. my daily battery life average is 18 hours on battery with 5 hours of screen-on time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sluflyer06:
Stay away from AT&T with the Nexus 5, I only get about 46Mb/s on LTE and perfect call quality and reception everywhere I go ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radeon962:
On AT&T and no issues with reception or speed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david23c:
I'm currently using N5 with AT&T with no problem with reception or speed. Also the battery lasts for a full day of use (14-15 hours). Of course it's not on the level of Note 2, but still given that it's a Nexus with incredible specs and a great screen (the colors will look a bit washed out if you come straight from Note 2, but they're more accurate in my opinion, and there's a gamma control app you can use to change N5 color), I'd say go with the N5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpollard:
On AT&T with my N5 in Maryland. I came from a iPhone 5 and HTC One. I have a 33 mile ride to work and its mostly county twisty roads. I always would lose my reception at 4 spots on my ride. 2 in one county and 2 in another county. I would lose it with my ip5, then with the One. I was just commenting to my wife, I don't lose the reception at all anymore. Now I suppose maybe more towers came online, but its a pretty big area I cover and the spots were pretty spread out.

I get 16 hours easy and by that time I'm usually shutting it down anyway, I use the Nexus wireless charger.

I don't have any experience with the Moto X, but I was close to trying that also. The sound on the One's speakers are really good and it has the ir blaster thing, but with all that I stuck with the N5, I just really like it.

I'm on stock rom, rooted and custom recovery.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshpdavis80:
I want the nexus the most. I left sprint for Verizon 2 years ago for the galaxy nexus. It had several problems and now my contract is up and I want the N5. I figured at&t would be my best bet for the network. I am just worried that the N5 will be problematic like the GN. But you guys are making me feel better about the n5 and at&t.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GHOSTIVVI:
I have the n5 on AT&T, complaints! Great phone, battery gets me through my work day (which usually is from 9/10AM to 7 or 8PM)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt3:
I owned the Verizon GNex, and I can tell you that there is no comparison between that POS and the N5. Much of the GNex problems were with Verizon (or the fact that the CDMA radio made it different). Many people who loved the GNex had the GSM version. Most of the people who hated it had the Verizon version. They were that different.

The N5 is simply a work of art, comparatively. It's smooth as butter, has a MUCH higher build quality, and is wholly supported by Google. There are no CDMA radios to screw things up, and Verizon is completely out of the picture (as are other carriers) so updates will actually be timely.

I switched from Verizon to AT&T in preparation for the N5 (before it existed), and had an S4 (active) in the meantime. As soon as the N5 was available, I jumped on it, and I have been extremely happy. I have had no discernible signal issues. Battery life (for me) is better than either the GNex (with extended battery) or the S4 (standard battery), but wireless charging makes that a moot point, since I can just keep wireless chargers at home and at work, which provides a quick top-off when needed.

In short, don't worry. You'll love the N5. Don't let the Gnex scare you... there really is no comparison.

EDIT: Regarding the Moto X. Great phone also. In fact, I almost went that way myself. Active Display and always listening Google Now are awesome. However, 720p screen and no wireless charging were deal-killers for me. The N5, with its LCD screen is much easier to see in bright sunlight, and wireless charging... well... what can I say? I'll never own another phone without it. I would take wireless charging over active display any day of the week. However, you may be different. Decide which feature you'd like best and go for that device. You can't go wrong with either phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshpdavis80:
Thanks for the GN comparison. I have never tried wireless charging. How does it work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] abjc89:
I noticed this the first day I had my phone, but thought it was just a fluke or some new touchwiz feature akin to the "linens" that iOS 5,6 had. But my note 3, white now on full stock MJ4, never rooted or tampered with yet seems to have some banding and aberrations with displaying medium grays. I have attached a screenshot that you can download and try for yourself. I am positive this is a bug, and with my limited knowledge I feel it is a software issue more than a hardware one that will hopefully get fixed.

Steps to really see the problem:

Download my screen shot on to your Note 3 (or open chrome browser, remove all windows so it is the gray background with the product logo as attached, then screen shot it yourself)

Do the following in a dark environment to see it best. (please)

Open the screenshot in gallery.

Zoom into it and pan around.

Play with different brightness settings and see if the banding with grays is more evident.

Turn on screen rotation, rotate screen.

Zoom and pan on the same screenshot in landscape view to see that the banding is apparent still only on the Y-axis, proving it was not part of the image.

I attempted to capture this on video and even scan it in my scanner, but it wasn't obvious like it is to my eyes. I want to know, does this affect other people's note 3s? If so I won't care as it really isn't a problem. But if it's just my handset, then I want to get it swapped out instead of risking a bad screen or any other on board hardware. I am most worried because the problem is different day to day and the banding seems to be greater towards the bottom of the screen :confused:

If you did all this, thank you! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nolimit06:
Same issue here as well as my girlfriends N3. If you mess around with the different display settings (dynamic, professional photo, etc) it increases it or decreases it. I've only noticed this with Chrome however. I will boot up my Evo 3D to see if it does it on there as well as my 2k12 N7.

I find it strange that no one has talked about this here yet, so let me be the one to get the ball rolling..

Optofidelity conducted a test to measure the quality of video playback on a Nexus 7 (2012) and a Nexus 7 (2013). Both devices were tested with both 4.3 Jellybean and 4.4 Kitkat. What seemed interesting to me is that on the Nexus 7 (2012) the framerates on 720p 30fps videos are noticeably worse in 4.4 in comparison to 4.3. 720p 60fps and 1080p 60fps are also much worse.

On the Nexus 7 (2013), the 720p 60fps and 1080p 60fps videos wouldn't even run.

Have you guys seen something similar with your Nexus 5?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] GN2Rabbit:
Overall I think the 4.3 upgrade is worth it. It seems to have fixed quite a few issues and I haven't experienced any problems after the upgrade (the upgrade process however leaves a lot to be desired at the moment).

Besides the new features here is what I have noticed personally:

1. Overall increase in device speed and performance

2. Browser improvements

3. More functionality

4. Snappier UI

5. More stable data connection on GPRS/EDGE (I live in a non-3g service area)

6. Battery life seems better (will test further)

7. Video playback is smoother

The bad:

1. Upgrade process requires a full device wipe

2. Knox (should be optional overall or special rom)

3. Pop-up browser removed

4. Rooting trips knox counter with most root methods

5. Issues updating certain Google apps after upgrade (ymmv)
