[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poplectic:
I went through a stage last year where I tried every carrier. I found three to have the best speeds at least where I live. I think threes "all you can eat data" offers are better than what most other carriers are offering. They are also promising 4g at no extra cost in the future when it finally rolls out. To sum up I would say threes service is the best, again, at least where I live but they fall down when u have an issue. The people you end up speaking to can be frustratingly unhelpful at times.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faultytowersdude:
Cool cheers mate looks like three it is then.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
With a lot of carriers depends on where you live and signal strength, best to use signal checkers before you decide or ask friends and family who are already on the network.

As a potentially cheaper alternative, I use giffgaff, runs on O2 and works fine for me. £10 per month for 1GB, or £12 outer month unlimited data.

You can order a free sim: http://giffgaff.com/orders/affiliate/eddiehk6 with £5 free credit if you like.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepdavies:
I'm on payg with three. Good so far. Much better than giffgaff was

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
OP is looking for sim only contact tho, not payg so usage is different

Probably too late, but also forgot to mention giffgaff do payback, so if you help out in their forums you can earn money back. I effectively don't pay anything.

What I earned in the last 6 months:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faultytowersdude:
So either giffgaff or three is the best option, I live in Leeds west Yorkshire wonder which one is best here.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Best to ask real people's experience if possible (indoors/outdoors/general speeds/calls/data reliability/support).

Signal checkers are a good guide in the meantime, can apply this to any network.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samkent6:
I have a 12.90 a month contract with three and I get 5000 texts, 200 mins, 2000 3 to 3 mins, and all you can eat data, most carriers say they offer unlimited but it usually has a cap of 4 or 5 GB. Three is truly unlimited. I have great signal nearly everywhere I go. Obviously in forest areas its quite poor but since I dont live in a forest it doesnt matter ;) very good value for money though I would highly recommend it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricey1986:
Used to be on three, had to leave due to the through the wall reception. Outdoors was great but as soon as I went inside my speeds were crippled.

As said it would be best to ask people local to you to get the best idea
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
They're both fine in leeds. I moved from o2 to three in leeds and didn't find it worse.

Personally if I was still in leeds, I'd go 3 £12.90... little bit more expensive than giff gaff but peace of mind with no top ups and also no.worries that o2 may impose lower fair usage policy

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Amtip:
I'm with you, I love my Galaxy Nexus. My brother has a Droid Ultra he picked up after destroying his phone, and I gotta say my Nexus is better. People on this forum complain about being stuck with a Galaxy Nexus, I don't get it, this is the best phone I've ever played with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] liveMike:
yea i think overall that if you are on verizon and do not want to lose unlimited that its just not worth upgrading. the gnex is such a good phone. i am moving on to my moto x but it definitely is not a significant upgrade thats for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ztmike:
I don't understand why GSM users are still buying up the Galaxy Nexus when they should be purchasing the new Moto G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyYan:
I think Moto G isn't any better in performance. Plus, it doesn't have much development as of now (not even a CM build). But to be honest I'm also tempted... though I have something else on my mind.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Go for it if you can afford it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ztmike:
It might not have any Dev support but its already getting 4.4.2 kitkat from Motorola and runs pretty much stock Android ..far as performance I've yet to see a VS video but I'm sure the Moto is faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Juice3250:
I had the S3 and I had a worse experience on it than I currently do on my recently acquired VZW Nexus. There is no lag or bloatware. The only down side is battery life. I will be buying another battery. Either stock or extended. I am near a charger all day so it's not a big deal for me. I'm not tempted to flash a different ROM either because it is already an aosp phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alpha-niner64:
I seriously thought about it. I still am. I'm so used to the 4.7" display such that I fear going back to 4.5" would be too much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] radutoiugeorge:
Galaxy nexus was my first smartphone and it made these almost 2 years since I own it very special. A real adventure. Have bricked it, have drppoed it but it never let me down in the end.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrstarzan:
Had a great experience with my GNex but the battery life was a real deal breaker for me. Went with the G2 and am loving the larger screen not to mention outstanding battery. Thought I would hate the UI but so far I'm ok with it and I know I can ROM it when I get bored with it. Haven't parted with the GNex yet but I'm not really seeing a need to keep it now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarCus M.D:
i really dont need more than my GNex, and have it with android kit-kat before some top devices is amazing..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snowman110011:
I went from a Gnex to Droid RAZR m, only because the screen cracked on my Gnex, needless to say I miss my Gnex badly!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
Sticking with GNex til it dies plus I love my charging dock...

I have a spare battery so either way I'll never have to worry about running out of power.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] macdroid14:
Yup I feel the same way. I've been on cm 10.1.3 since september and I've experienced very minimal lag. All the 4.3/4.4 roms are just too unstable. Just the battery life sucks. Even on the 2100maH battery, the best screen on time I could get is 3 hours.I just keep the stock battery in handy for when I run out of battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] King p1n:
Yep Im doing that!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fux0r99:
Getting a moto g would be like buying a phone with 3 year old specs with no development, complete waste of time.At least the gnex has plenty of development but is still obsolete an crappy in the current smartphone world.Even the iPhone 4s which is 2 an a half years old beats the gnex hands down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] janusman:
I love my GNex.. And with CM11 it rocks.. I will probably wait to it dies..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] King p1n:
Moto G doesnt have a 3 year old specs...

Its still quite a new phone hence lack of major development.

Furthermore we can use gravity box for many things.

For me CM11 couldnt save my GNEX it was slugglish
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndyYan:
Hmm. If you could lag a CM11-wielding GNex, then a MotoG wouldn't surprise you either. It's a Snapdragon 400 after all. Me, I feel my GNex is always as smooth even when compared to my 2 more powerful devices.

Sent from Lenovo Erazer Z500 @ Android-x86 4.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fux0r99:
Sorry I meant 1 an a half year old specs lol. I never understood why people would buy something that's already way past obsolete an will be even more useless a year or more from now. Other than it will get official kitkat update an has a very low pricetag what else is so amazing about the moto g.

The only reason I got a gnex was because I got it 2 weeks after it first launched back in november 2011 an there was no other android phone as good except maybe the S2 at the time.Can't exactly say I would buy another gnex or even a new phone like moto g thats boasting outdated tech in the current market.That's like buying a new iPhone 4S now instead of a iPhone 5S just because the 4S still has iOS 7 on it an its a lot cheaper lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the901:
Yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hsypsufan:
I was so frustrated with the GN running 4.3 that I was tempted to switch, but ever since putting the latest FML 4.4.2 my phone has been flying. Google has put a lot of effort with KitKat to better handle low memory devices and you can really tell. I used to have CM 10.2, but the bloat was slowing my phone down and before that I was running shiny, and MMuzzy. Loved MMuzzy but he retired.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techhead0:
And what is wrong with that? Are you trying to make some kind of point? Or just trying to show off that you have a lot of money and can buy an expensive new high-end phone?

I guess if you have enough money you can just drop $600+ on a new phone like its no big thing, but not everyone can afford to do that. That is why options like the Moto G are out there. Its not trying to be a $600 phone and that is the point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fux0r99:
Most people are on contracts so the cost of the phone means nothing as its part of the monthly cost over the life of the contract or easy to upgrade an pay a little extra a month.Why would I need to buy a cheap phone outright when I can add an new expensive phone to an existing or new contract an just pay $5 a month for it.

All these cheap phones like the moto g are just catered for parents to buy their kids phones off contract because they can't be trusted to use a phone on contract.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] King p1n:
No there not..

Some people believe it or not do not want contracts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akash3656:
To those people saying moto G has no development, you know its funny the guy who fixed up cm11 for our phone is getting cm11 to work with the Moto G. (See the irony?)

So you people out there, be careful when you say there isn't any development on that device. It may actually have more development than our phone as its a budget phone with an attractive price point.

And one thing my GPS is super inaccurate recently. I'm thinking the 4.4 ROMs don't work well for GPS for me. Almost got lost driving as I lost GPS signal at a vital junction.

And cm11 is a laggy (many have even returned to 4.3) piece of bloat infested (voice+, cm accounts) version of android in my book.

---------- Post added at 01:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 AM ----------

I don't stay in the US, but I can see in xda and other forums that slowly more people do not want contracts (ask the bunch of VZW Galaxy Nexus users).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fux0r99:
You are the minority then, ask any iPhone user they are mostly on contract as are most people with high end android devices.Your kidding yourself if you think otherwise.

---------- Post added at 05:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 AM ----------

Your talking about a very small percentage of people when you say people in xda.Be real most phone users don't even know what xda is nor do they own nexus devices, let alone a galaxy nexus lol.That whole statement you posted is just ridiculous.The galaxy s3 an s4 makes up for 80% of android customers which don't even have rooted devices or even know what rooting is an run stock their whole life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 350Rocket:
I would have to agree that more than 95% of people with a smartphone are on contract. Next phone I get will be the latest one as I will likely be sticking with it for a 2 year contract. My contract I have now is a 3 year that ends in 11 months. Only reason I have a somewhat more recent phone (HTC one S) is that o sold the last new phone I had 2 years ago and ran an old nexus one for a while because I was broke.

I bought the one s at a pawn shop for $100 with some body damage about 6 or 7 months ago. It looks like it will finish out my contract just fine but my next phone I want top of the line since I'm going to sign new contract anyway. Unless they really try to rip me off on the plan price then I will buy used again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akash3656:
Gotta agree with the Samsung part. It may not be just the S3 or S4, but their entire Galaxy line up is one large portion of the android marketshare. And yeap tiny share of Android users actually bothers to root.

Remember for one, I'm not from the US. FYI, stuff outside US is pretty different in different countries. Where I stay, almost nobody buys a phone on contract unless if its an iPhone. But in another country, it could be that contracts rule.

Another thing is that I said slowly and I also said xda and I'm NOT from the US.

Yes a very small population goes on xda and almost nobody uses a Galaxy Nexus and the amount of people using the Galaxy Nexus in the US is probably very small by now. And once you reduce that to a specific carrier (or two) VZW and Sprint, the amount of users is also again tiny. Of course the demographic is small.

Now I ask you, so basically, if xda user demographic is that small, why the heck do HTC and other OEMs bother with Developer Editions of their phone? Even I wonder why sometimes. Or you could question why do sites like xda even exist?

But my point still stands even if its just a ridiculous statement based on a tiny population of Android smartphone users. Not everyone wants contracts and there's a missing gap which Moto is trying to fix with the Moto G and make money.... (capitalism duh).

And another thing is a lot of people would like to own a smartphone but don't want to spend on a new iPhone/S4/high end device for their first device. This applies more to countries in the Asian region (where I live) and other developing countries.

And remember, Google/Motorola wouldn't bother the unlocked market at all if there was no future in it. They sold the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4 and now the Nexus 5 unlocked at a discounted price. The GN didn't sell all that well on Play Store, neither did the Nexus 4. So why are they even trying again with the Nexus 5?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isajoo:
GN didn't sell well because Apple tried to completely ban it from ever being sold.

http://mobile.theverge.com/2012/2/11/2791830/apple-seeks-ban-on-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus

They knew Android 4.0 was going to be the nail in their coffin.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fux0r99:
I do agree that most nexus users usually buy off contract only because its usually a cheaper phone an more affordable to buy outright to the usual high end android handsets which cost $600+ compared to a nexus which is only $300-350 on launch.

Yea I'm going to get a cheap $350 nexus 5 when I could get a $1000 phone on the same contract (not) lol.Just because its not a nexus doesn't mean you can't update it, just throw CM 11.0 on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] basisforbart:
I was thinking about upgrading but since the kit kat development is going so well I might hang on to this phone for a while. Currently rocking the shiny Rom and loving it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] the_hustler:
Exactly what i am thinking too. But Moto G for its price and battery life is very very tempting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Link200:
My galaxy nexus is ready to be retired. Going to wait it out for the next set of phones that will start to be released around March/April. Looking to see how the HTC One+ works out.

I have to buy off contract though. Hate Verizon but I need the unlimited 4G. I averaged over 20GB/month last year. I hit 45GB last September. I travel for a living and t-mobile just doesn't work in many places.

My GNX begins to run slow about 1 month after a complete wipe. I am the type that can notice frame rate drops below 60fps in video games so the slowness in my GNX is readily apparent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sedge.One:
Haha, that's my thought too ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] King p1n:
Key word is tried...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drwasilew:
Gnex is running fine and feels new again, thanks to KK. Somethings are going out (usb, audiojack) that will hopefully last me a few more months. Moto X abnd LG G2 have been tempting me, but I enjoy having a Nexus device, and I plan on going contract free, so N5 is what I really want. Plus, I enjoy flashing ROMs and checking out all the non-stock features devs put into their ROMs, and nexus devices are usually the first devices to be built for.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Qafix:
Agreed. Even without Google's official support, the community and support for the GNex is so huge that leaving the community would be a big loss. I think at least another year or two before support would dwindle down.

I have been sorting out my exec. radio rom and all that.

now I can not turn off my exec. get it to standby but not fully switch off.

I have looked on here and cannot find anything to help.

any ideas ?

tried holding down the power button ect. turning everything off in the wifi window thing.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Jorgee:
Remove the battery. Kidding aside, I don't think it is possible. The most I can do to limit the battery drain is to turn off all radios (GSM, WIFI, BT) then press the off/on switch.

I don't believe there is a way to FULLY turn it off short of removing the battery.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carll:
thanks for the reply.

you must be able to switch it off. I work with a lot of large electro magnets and need to be able to power down completely to aviod screwing it up in the fields
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carnivor:
you cannot turn it off completely! only battery removal will do that,

its not like the wizard where you can press and hold the power button and do a shutdown,

is flight mode not enough? just where you turn the cellular parts off?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carll:
Oh well Bat out it is.

I have to walk though a strong magentic field to get to my office.

Can not wear a watch as it will get knackered.

One of the lads at work got a new laptop. Put it into Stand by walked it though the field and it was shagged.

The magents we use are massive. would pick up a car with no problem at all.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jmcl:
dont think so... just think about the following situation: You are 12 hours far away from.... a charger/home/USB port.. whatever, and the battery is running out. what do you do?

one solution would be to turn if off for a while... if possible.!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] RyanZA:
Yeah, its one really strange design move to not include an off button. I could never figure this one out myself. I assume it would be possible to add this, but it would require some hardware tweaking. Short of the huge car picking up magnet problem though, it probably isnt too big a deal (at least for me, the SD card stopping working at 5% power or whatever is much worse!)
