[Nexus 5 General] BinkXDA:
When I got my Galaxy Nexus (GN) it was sheer happiness. I was using a legacy Nokia Symbian candy bar and this was my first foray into unmolested Android. While all was not perfect with the GN, I was still mostly pleased. Then the fateful day occurred when I dropped the GN a little too hard and the screen shattered even though the phone was protected by a Diztronic TPU case. I now needed a new phone, but I knew the Nexus 5 (N5) would be out soon, so I kept using my shattered GN until the N5 was available and when it arrived, I realized cracking my screen was a blessing in disguise.

Without further ado, my quick major comparisons to the GN:

The N5 is FAST. REALLY FAST. It makes my GN feel like an unfinished prototype/research model that should have never been brought to market.

The N5’s GPS locks on quickly. REALLY quickly. My GN could take a minute or more at times to get a lock and, by then, my wife, annoyed, would whip out her iPhone and tell me my phone sucks.

The N5 has “awesome battery life.” While its battery life is average in general, compared to the GN it is legendary. The GN’s screen and data connection would kill the battery and it would rarely last till the afternoon if I frequently used both. With the N5 I can make heavy use of my screen and data connection and my battery will likely last the day.

Qi support. This makes number 3 above even better and there’s no jamming of Micro-USB ports into the phone and hoping I didn’t have the port upside-down (particularly when it’s dark/at night). When I’m at my desk, my phone is always charging. When a call comes in, I simple pick up the phone and then put it back down to charge when I’m done—nothing to plug in/I’m untethered. When I leave my desk for an hour or three, I have no fear of using or pushing the phone as hard as I’d like as I know I’m probably fully charged, because the phone was sitting on the charger, and I’ll have more than enough battery life for whatever I might encounter. Qi is simply elegant and something the iPhone can’t do.

LTE. While I got decent “4G” speeds on the GN—around 8Mbps down—the 20+/30+Mbps I get now alongside far better PING times is a great improvement.

The N5 has almost zero lag. It’s really that fast. My GN was almost all lag. Project Butter improved things, but the GN still has lag all over the place. I’m sure the N5 will start to slow down as newer software makes greater demands of the hardware, but, for now, this thing flies.

If you’re still using a GN, stop. It sucks, particularly when compared to a modem smart phone. Get the N5 and stop having your wife/girlfriend tell you your phone sucks, because it does.

Cheers.

lol, i loved my galaxy nexus! it demolished my nexus s i speed. but when i got my nexus 4, it just blew away the gnex in speed and performance. but then i got the nexus 5.. it makes the nexus 4 feel like a childs toy :)
[Nexus 5 General] Theory:
Amen to all that.

But to be fair, the GNex was pretty good for its time--it was roughly in the same class as its contemporary, the Galaxy S II (just as the N5 is with the LG G2). But of course the N5 is so much faster and smoother and an all round better smartphone. A few things that I still feel the GNex is better though--it feels more comfortable holding the GNex than the N5 because the GNex is more rounded while the N5 has sharper edges. I still prefer the audio jack placement on the GNex. And I miss slightly the removable battery--my GNex had the official extended battery. But these are small issues compared to the vast improvements that the N5 brings.
[Nexus 5 General] phazerorg:
I also agree with all of this. I came from a Galaxy Nexus as well, and I loved that phone. Even now, it was "fast enough" and the battery lasted "long enough" and it was a solid working device. I had a Nexus One before that, so I was starting a pattern of skipping every other Nexus phone, so it was time to buy the Nexus 5.

My experience exactly matches every one of your points. Battery life and overall speed are by far the biggest differences I've noticed. I'm as happy with this phone as I was when I upgraded to the GNex two years ago.
[Nexus 5 General] duynabots:
I actually was very happy with my gnex, i did end up getting the nexus 5 and very happy i did, cant go wrong with stock android kit kat
[Nexus 5 General] bahmad21:
Better than my nexus 4

Having never owned the gnex, or its predecessors, the N4 was my first Nexus device. That being said I was shocked at how much better the N5 is. particularly in signal strength. on H+ there wasn't a single place in Toledo that I could get above 95 dbm. and my house was regularly 117Dbm or lower. Now (after flashing back to the xxx.xxx.17 modem) I see about 100dbm in my house on LTE and consistently around 80 on H+!!! The .23 modem that came with 4.4.1 KILLED MY SIGNAL!

I really think Lg/ Google skimped with the hardware on the N4. Yea the processor was great for the time and the phone will hold its own for another couple of years.

But after about a week of enjoying that flashy glass back i was too paranoid about walking around with a piece of fine china to enjoy my device. I always thought the back was more suited for a girl anyway, besides the fact that after armoring your phone in a rugged case to protect the stupid glass back, you couldn't see it anyway.

All in all the N5 is a joy. People complaining about the speaker must not have had a nexus 4. And who cares about "loose" buttons the ceramic tactile feel of them makes up for it.:laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] bennyreyes715:
I second this post. I was EXTREMELY proud of my nexus 4...until I got the nexus 5...the size difference and battery life make the nexus 4 feel like a toy. Very well put Simms.
[Nexus 5 General] chopper the dog:
Agreed on all counts. The galnex spec sheet was outdated within four months. I'm just glad I rode my vzw contract out and gave them the bird for t-mobile (pre-paid) and the nexus5.

good day.
[Nexus 5 General] StrizzMatik:
Having owned pretty much every Nexus device since the GNex ( GNex, N4, N5 and N7) the N5 simply blows them all away, and I really loved the N4.
[Nexus 5 General] LNJ:
The GNEX was garbage even when it was current!

The N5 is a rocking piece of kit.
[Nexus 5 General] nmt1900:
Well... I have both phones and can agree with most of this, but how about this "awesome battery life" and LTE?

It is really not bad... except when LTE mode is activated and LTE network is found. It looks like battery drain on LTE is almost the same in active use and in sleep - and phone is warm all the time. Almost like some kind of hand warmer - handy at winter.

Better Battery stats and everything else confirms, that phone is in deep sleep, but battery graph falls with same speed in active use and deep sleep state - and this is on almost "bearable" LTE signal (-80...-90 dBm). Drain stops immediately, when mobile network mode is switched to 3G.

Will try out other network when I go to christmas vacation. Maybe this is some kind of network issue.
[Nexus 5 General] BinkXDA:
Weird. My phone is only warm when charging.
[Nexus 5 General] malibu_23:
Good riddance to this POS phone. Can't wait to activate my n5 on T-Mobile!
[Nexus 5 General] nmt1900:
It might be some network issue. Will know little more next week, when phone can be tested with other operator in another country.

I have the Galaxy Nexus and to be quite honest with you I still use the sh*t out of it. I found it to be a great device. I wonder when Samsung gets the Nexus contract again what they will have in store for us.

I have a soft spot for it since it was my first Nexus and it had a good amount of storage space 32gb. Since I have tabs and phones I use them all for different things. I use my Nexus 7 for gaming, my Galaxy Nexus for audiobooks and multimedia, and my Nexus 5 for everything else. Overall I love my Nexus 5 and Galaxy Nexus..heck I'm downloading a ROM for them now!

[Nexus 5 General] maumaumau:
I also had a GN but I was always annoyed by it's overall slowness. For me there was only minor improvement compared to my former Nexus One.

After just half of a year later I got my N4 and was much happier with it, than with Gslug Nexus.

The N5 is even better than the N4, but compared to the Change from GN to N4 the change is not that dramatic. The only advantages of the GN were its look and feel (which is in my opinion the best out there) and its robustness.

The only disadvantage right now is, that there are only a few usable and very limited Custom Roms for the N5 because of KitKat but this is only a temporary problem.
[Nexus 5 General] LNJ:
To be honest, none of the custom roms are impressive or better than stock on a Nexus device. There are many custom roms but that's only cause it's way easier to develop for a Nexus device than it is for non stock Android devices. And unfortunately most of the roms are identical with very minor variances as well as being pure garbage.

The roms that add features are worth looking at but so far non are as stable as stock.

I used to own 2x GNEX at the same time. One flashed with every top custom rom available and the other pure stock. As nice as some of the added features the custom roms had and as fast as the custom kernels seemed to be, the roms weren't stable and the kernels started bogging down in a few days.

The stock phone never slowed down and performed consistently till the end.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that on a Nexus, stock is best cause it's built by the best developers already....

I've used custom roms on all my other Android phones but will not be on my N5 based on my custom rom experience on the GNEX!

I'm looking for an extended battery that could be used with the otterbox defender. I would be willing to modify my defender to make it work.

I've got the zerolemon battery and case. However I do not like the case. For the money it is great. And I would say if I had not already had the defender before I got the zerolemon I wouldn't mind it. The zerolemon battery is awesome but it's way too big to use with the defender.

Any suggestions?

okay, im s-off, i flashed to the stock rom of google edition, it says that theres an update which has been downloaded, is it okay for me to install it?

If anyone has tried it then please could you let me know.

Thanks.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UCFour:
If you have converted your mobile to GPE...you can install the update

but if you just flashed your rom (leaving CID n MID everything different from GPE) just dont update..

even if you try to update nothing will happen i guess..because installation of ota update requires Stock recovery of google play edition
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
Install stock recovery for GPE edition that you are running, before you install the OTA..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PikkonX:
You should be fine as long as it's a stock recovery. The GPe OTAs actually are already configured to install on any US GSM CID/MID. Google or HTC definitely know about the unofficial RUU and helped make the update process slightly easier for those who utilized it.

when i went into recoverymode it crashed after a few minutes, how can i fix this anymore information you need just ask :)

thanks in advance
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
That video artifact you described ("black with white dots... flashing lines") has historically been reported in the past by folks that have a discharged battery. Could be something else, but at a minimum put your tab on a charger for a couple hours before you try anything further.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul3200:
haha i have already had it on charge for about 2 hours before i posted this :/
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
battery terminals came loose and it's not charging ... even though it's been on the charger?

not trying to be stubborn (by sticking to a single fault hypothesis) or anything, but when all you've got is a black screen, it's hard to know whether the tab has a charged battery or not, short of pulling the battery jumper and measuring the open-circuit voltage of the battery (should be above or near 4V for a fully charged battery iirc).. Or if you noticed that the tablet was getting warm when you put it on the charger.

If you are occasionally getting that "charging battery animation" and it shows something other than a discharged battery, I'm perfectly willing to abandon the "discharged battery" hypothesis.

I guess I mentioned it because similar symptoms were reported in the past by others and their tablets recovered sort of "spontaneously".... usually after a night on the charger ;) But it could be any of a million different things, including fatal sort of problems.

good luck

I've been out of the "hacking" scene for a while now. Last phone I upgraded to a custom firmware was my moto atrix fauxg. I wish I hadn't lost that guy, I would be more comfortable looking at different roms. As it is now, I really only feel comfortable with cyanogenmod. Not cause im a fan boy but because I have used it and feel a sense of familiarity with it. I suppose I could go to the 10.1.3 version, but I do l like to have the most current.

Anyway, thanks for the replies. At least I know I need to wait if this is to happen.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cooper:
Hi and thank you for reading this...my question is sort of generic I have a nexus 10 running 4.4 ROM and a galaxy nexus (Verizon) phone running a 4.4 Rom also. (I have my favorite ROMs for each but try many here and there. Enjoy them all).

My question has to do with Google + data usage on both devices. I've noticed recently that by the end of the business day my tablet is almost drained and having my phone on between 6 am and 10 am, the dead battery alert is sounding.

I'm not a user of Google + other than letting it back up my pics (10 or 12 a week). When I check my battery usage Google + was somewhere in the range of 350 and 550 megabytes while every thing else is under 50 mb. When I disable g+, data usage reads a high number under the heading of 'disabled' (or uninstalled) apps but the battery is still dying.

Again I don't think this is rom specific. Is any one else experiencing this? Is it a bug in 4.4+?

Thanks again...
