I hate the fact that I need to use a case in order to protect my phone but I went for a slim case on my SGS and ended up with a broken screen for a year and a half so I can't use the phone without good protection. On the other hand, I hate to add to much bulk to it so I looked for days for the best case that would fit both needs and ended up with the Tech 21 Impact Frame. Was lucky enough to find an AWESOME person that would send one to me since it's only available in the US and I love it.

The phone has been dropped twice with it (curiously, none of them were my fault) and not a single scratch... the case is slim given the protection it provides and I love the looks too. The clear back shows the back of my white Nexus 5 (hated that I had bought the white version and couldn't see it due to a Neo Hybrid) but that's the only thing that I don't like about it. The plastic on the back scratches too easily. I only have it for 2 weeks and there are spider webs everywhere. But, given all the other positive points, I'll keep it and it's my favourite case for the N5.

There are a couple of videos on YouTube showing it. One from an XDA user that did awesome drop tests with the case on.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] angied:
Thanks. Does the clear back scratch easily?

I tried a Spigen Ultra Hybrid and didn't like the way my black nexus looked through the clear back, so i probably wouldnt like the Tech21. It must be just me, though, because I haven't found anyone who's said anything bad about that.

I love the Diztronic on my phone, but I'm worried that it's not enough protection. Someone did say they dropped their phone in that case a few times, on concrete, and didn't have any problems.. It just doesn't look like that protective..it makes me nervous.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] herosemblem:
Very. It is the one downside of the case that I can find. That said, I went through eight cases including the Ultra Hybrid, and I have been using this 4-6 weeks. I use it with a dBrand black carbon skin on the phone's back.

I have yet to try Meguiars PlastX on the swirls. The case is noticeably slimmer than the Ultra Hybrid, and follows the phone's contours better as well.

I'll pm you a pic if you like
[Nexus 5 Accessories] angied:
Thanks, I'll have to go to TMo and put it on my phone to see if i can stand it.. ;)

Yes, please do send me a pic.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Gravitron34:
I have two cases:

The Spigen Ultra Fit and Diztronic TPU case

I'm a fan of both cases, though I prefer the Ultra Fit.

Both aren't that good for protection, but they will protect against most drops. I've drop my phone 5+ times with no issues.

I can't post links yet so sorry I can't link you to them.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
I've been using my $2 quick sand case recently and lobe the grip on the sides having a white N5. It feels slimmer and lighter than my Fusion hybrid case and won't protect as well in a fall but the extra grip makes that much less likely to happen.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sinpapa:
Just ordered my Seidio Dilex Combo...should arrive soon. Will feedback back on thoughts and pics...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Mikeonic:
I can vouch that the tech21 does not scratch easily. On normal use it will not scratch that easily. I even did a full review on it.

Thread necromancing... (Been very ill and pretty much out of commission for a year)...

I ended up with the spigen slim armour. I do like it but after it taking quite a heap of falls (yes, the phone is in perfect condition still) I'm going to replace it.

In terms of cases for the nexus 5, does anyone know of any cases which take the crown of good protection but minimal bulk? I may end up with another slim armour but I'm curious as to what's out there again.

Anything the same size/smaller than the slim armour I consider to be minimal.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] wolfen69:
I like the Caseology cases. http://www.ebay.com/itm/261437414046?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

They have a clear back with raised corners so you can lay it down on a flat surface and the clear back won't scratch. Offers medium protection, good looks, cheap, and not bulky. I ordered all 3 colors. (red, black, white) Plus, the sides are very glossy, giving a good tacky feel that won't slip out of your hands easily.

The Ringke Fusion Crystal Clear case is also one of my favorites. This case is made of softer material which may give a bit more protection. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ringke-Goog...760?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d2363c890
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 4I-I:
Can you tell me, how well the case holds at the sides oft the display?

I have a ringke Fusion and i really like it, but once my phone dropped and landed on the side of the display and the case just bent away. I now have a crack in my display starting roughly at the height of the volume buttons. :-/

Im going to get a new screen, but i think ill also get a new case...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Skyerin:
Ouch on the drop :( never good when that happens.

How bad was the drop? I guess that rules out the ringke as a case for me so just curious.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 4I-I:
It actually was a bench it was lying on... So it was at "sitting height" ;D it was lying on its screen and got pushed of the bench. So it was a rly unlucky fall... If the phone lands on its corners its safe in the case, my experience has shown
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Skyerin:
That's not that great actually then.

I dropped my nexus 5 (which has a slim armour case and rhino shield screen protector) from chest height (I'm 5ft4 so about 70% of my height) and it fell face down. Picked it up - not a scratch.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 4I-I:
I also have a slim armor case and i think its too bulky.

The ringke fusion was quite reliable, but for that instance. Its also logical that you have less protection in a silmmer case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nathanjp:
The best case in my opinion, is the tudia wav hybrid. It is the most durable case I have ever used. Best part is that there is also a drop test video. Just go on YouTube and type nexus 5 tudia wav hybrid drop test
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Skyerin:
Couldn't get a hold of a tudia wav in the uk - did try.

I've settled on a combo of the spigen tr.slim nano screen protector and a cruzerlite androidify case - they work well together (give the screen protector two days for it to really stick to the screen before putting the case on).

I actually found I'm dropping the phone less with this combo too as the phone is a lot slimmer to hold.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] deathbytalkshow:
Did it have a screen protector installed or just the case?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] 4I-I:
Just the case.

I repaired my phone and im going to buy a tempered glass protector this week.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Skyerin:
I suggest the spigen tr.slim nano. Its amazing. Pricey as hell but I love it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Chi Am:
I have a Tech21 Impact Maze (Smoke) on my iPhone 5 and a Urban Armor Gear Maverick on my iPhone 6, they are both amazing.

I have a cheapo PU leather flip wallet case for my N5 because these two Brands do not sell any products for my beloved N5..........

Why an I posting this superfluous information ?

I am recruiting spammers to slam spam their web sites, requesting fair product love for our N5s......

Edit: Tech21 now have stock of Impact cases..............more variety please.

PS. If you have spare time, send them emails and hopefully they may listen when they realize there's a demand.

I also believe the 5X and 6P will fail so sticking to the N5.

Hello.

Me and a friend of mine own both a s100. We have got the bluesoleil stack working and manage to get a PAN connection. We álso have played several games of warfare inc.

Now, however, after playing around with some settings:

one hosts a game

as soon as the other one selects 'multiplayer' the game seaches for running hosts, and IMMEDIATEDLY hangs itself.

Strange?? What could it be? I have not gotten it to work. Resets etc, got rid of all network and gprs settings, nothing works. It keeps hanging.

One thing I found out, that me and my friend have EXACTLY the same bluetooth adress?? Is this normal? FTP File transfer works fine... How could I change the bluetooth adress?

* Edit, it hangs with Snails too.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thematt917:
So long story short, I've apparently had atrocious luck with my Note 3 hardware. In October my first Note 3 got stuck in Smart Cover mode somehow despite not using a smart cover. Support gave the hell up and I used my return at Best Buy for a brand new phone. As of two days ago my proximity sensor stopped functioning - I've apparently left multiple 30-minute voicemails from my office today. The #1 solution for this problem? WARRANTY/RETURN... again.

I'm holding back from ranting too much as I only swapped from apple about 6 months ago and haven't had hardware issues since my first iPhone... I'll get through this.

I tried a full Titanium Backup(I'm rooted) on my first replacement, but I had all sorts of issues with duplicated or misplaced data, contacts, etc - wasn't worth the headache. I'm tech savvy, but not Android savvy yet. If I were to take a nandroid backup of my current Note 3, could I simply restore that to a new Note 3 and be good to go? I'm imagining ghosting a PC image to a new box. I assume I could just root the stock phone, install the nandroid program, restore, and be done?

Reading the "Titanium Backup vs Nandroid" threads are giving me a headache. Thanks ahead of time!

Are there performance benefits to be gained by using Franco Kernel (or Trinity Kernel) on stock 4.4.2, but not using any software to tweak things?

This is not a thread about which is better, I'm simply wondering if you necessarily must tweak things in order to take advantage of the kernel, or if it can provide performance benefits automatically.

Tweak to take full advantage but there is still advantage to be had by not tweaking, though why anyone would stop there is beyond me

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .psd:
Any examples of the benefits? I've been hacking my Android phones for a few years, and I want to go with a mostly stock experience for a while — to me that means not fiddling around with any settings. But simply flashing a kernel is basically one quick step that I don't need to manage, it's something I can do in about 1 minute with no research, and never think about again. So if it offers performance gains (particularly batter life) without needing to tweak things, then that's really useful to me.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

All the kernels are tweaked to work out of the box better than stock (battery life and "performance" normally), at least they offer a good balance. Flash and forgot. But it's right that you can find some more fine settings that suits more your needs...

Try one or other and see for a few days with the default settings...

Thank you. Last question: know whether I need to have root in order for the passive benefits to manifest?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You're the one who said no research. I just repeated you.

It also says in the rules to use search before asking questions. Search does the research portion as the answers already exist. Im not being a jerk. You said

Im merely warning you that flashing things without doing research (as you said) is dangerous.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .psd:
What I said was, flashing a kernel is something I can do with no research. I did the research years ago and haven't forgotten how to flash a kernel since then.

That's fine. I've been hacking my phones since 2010 and I haven't had a problem yet. I was simply asking whether I need to manually tweak things in order to gain performance benefits from a custom kernel. As you and someone else pointed out, the answer is no — great. My final question is whether I need other things in order to experience those passive gains (things like root, SuperSU, BusyBox, etc.), or if they will just occur automatically.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You would only really need root to tweak the existing settings of a kernel.

So to try and simplify what I mean .. stock kernel has settings x. Custom kernel has settings y. Custom kernel also allows tweaking of settings y to settings z, but these tweaks require scripts or apps that need root.... but settings y requires nothing outside the kernels. These are the kernel defaults. Only deviation from defaults requires root

You're kidding right, you want to flash a kernel and you have to ask about other things, like root?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
This phone was born to be rooted, do it. Busybox and SuperSU Busybox will not help out with kernel tweaks, Superuser just grants root access for programs that are modifying important stuff. eg; greenify app makes it so that apps do not run in the background and waste your battery, it ask you for permission to allow it to do what it was intended to do. If you click on the supersu app you wil see a list of apps that you have granted "root access" too.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BirchBarlow:
The biggest benefit of using a custom kernal is the ability to tweak settings and parameters you don't have access to when running the stock kernel. Even if you don't change any of the kernel settings, most developers will claim their kernel offers a better balance between performance and energy efficiency out of the box. How perceptible the difference is, is certainly subjective.

You don't need to be rooted to flash a custom kernel, but you need root to change settings in the kernel using an app like FKU or Trickster.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] .psd:
Lol, I've been in threads where recognized contributors didn't even know you could flash things without root. It seems to be a popular misunderstanding that you need root to mess with your phone, so don't feel embarrassed. I actually try to avoid root unless an app I use requires it, or obviously when custom ROMs include it by default.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
90% of why I root my phones is in order to have full access to the file system. I don't often have to go into the data/app or system/app folder (among others) or tweak the build.prop, but when I do, it's nice not to have any limitations in place.
