[Nexus 5 General] :
Coming from an iPhone, when getting notifications it feels weird when I get one on the Nexus 5. I always look at my phone for notifications.

Single feature I love the most? Android in general, I love the fact I can download apps to my phone by selecting them via web browser. If I'm at work or home and don't have my phone but see an app I want to get.

As for the phone, I don't know. When I saw the Nexus 5, I just knew I had to have it and try Android out just one more time and now I'm most likely an Android user for life.
[Nexus 5 General] himu007:
I came from Galaxy Nexus and I'm loving this phone. Faster and better battery life. The camera is amazing and I like the sharp screen too.
[Nexus 5 General] BAZZI_US:
Really difficult to point out one single and most important advantage.

So I split it into hardware and software:

Hardware: The overall design (body, screen, back cover, size,...)

Software: Latest software updates from Google.

Coming from a S3 and after buying and using vanilla Android on the new nexus 7. It was like a revelation, a big bang wow. And I knew I had to get the next Nexus phone from Google.
[Nexus 5 General] MU24R:
Well i come from a note 2 the only thing i miss its the larger screen

The best thing about the nexus 5 is it's performance. There's not a single android phone that has ever performed like the nexus 5 does. Anybody else thinking otherwise is not paying attention. I owned the note 3 twice, the moto x twice, currently own the G2 that I owned 3 times lol, the HTC one, the galaxy s4, the optimus G pro plus the iPhone 5s on IOS. In terms of smoothness the nexus destroys every android phones and is a hair behind the 5s. I was shocked the first time I used the phone because it's performance is just stellar. Unfortunately battery life and speakers especially are not that great.
[Nexus 5 General] pgptheoriginal:
And if you turn ART on, N5's smoothness gets even better! Its the first lag-free Android device :D

I love the screen without any softkeys or hardware buttons :)
[Nexus 5 General] samkent6:
Came from a s3 also;) the single best thing about my nexus 5 is the performance. Butter smooth compared to the s3 which would lag between apps and constantly overheat. None of these problems on the nexus. Best 349 pounds I ever spent
[Nexus 5 General] Migamix:
considering I paid 300$ for my galaxy hexus on contract on Verizon.. plus 30 buck early upgrade fee, I consider a unlocked high spec proper nexus phone like the N5, I have no idea how you think this is not cheaper.. I've already saved about 60 bucks since getting the phone. and that includes the time I had to finish up my contract with verizon .. and to top it off.. the carriers are beginning to trip over themselves to offer better prices and services lately, well.... other than verizon ... so. since today I'm grumpy and being honest to everyone I know... I'll say this, your math isn't too good is it.
[Nexus 5 General] samkent6:
In the UK this phone costs £349 pounds for the 32gb version and £299 for the 16gb. and in our country that's over half the price of a unlocked note 3/ iPhone 5s 16gb. This phone is amazing value how can people say its not cheap? It's dirt cheap when you consider the hardware.
[Nexus 5 General] DryaT:
The fluidity, specially in ART, you can't see nothing similiar in any other android phone. The Nexus ''6'' will be as smooth as an Iphone 5s/Lumia 1520.

[Nexus 5 General] lukas_s:
Coming from a Note 2, I really love the size of the Nexus 5. I didn't have an issue with the Note 2's size, but the Nexus 5 is, IMO, the perfect size for a phone.

I also really love the feel of the white back.

Coming from an iPhone 4, I like the screen size. I thought Android phone screens were huge. Now they feel normal and iPhones are really small. I don't know what I would think if I got a Note 3... lol
[Nexus 5 General] Sn00ky:
Exactly. Completely different feel to me compared with panda. When the back is clean, feels like a soft velvet, so sexy to touch it lol

My last phone had gloss plastic on it, and there's no way it felt premium.
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
Agreed. I think the supposed iOS "advantage" is really overstated and pretty much negligible at this point.
[Nexus 5 General] _jordan_:
Its just a spring in the camera right?
[Nexus 5 General] jyouri:
its all relative
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
Ok, you lost me.
[Nexus 5 General] _jordan_:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was reading that the ois feature amounts to a spring loaded mechanism that stabilizes the optics when bumps happen.
[Nexus 5 General] akarol:
So the N5 is quite fast, but honestly, not that much faster as compared to my HTC One. So, sadly, the site goes best thing G about the N5 in my opinion, is the charging time. Charges quite quickly compared to previous devices I've owned.
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
Yes, but I was talking about iOS (the iPhone's operating system), not OIS (optical image stabilization).
[Nexus 5 General] Hardcore73:
Mine is the feel of the phone in my hand and the buttery goodness. Very smooth. Fastest Android out there for me.

hm, coming from the HTC Desire HD (i know, i tend to keep my phones for a long period of time) i like almost everything. from stock android, to performance, to camera/video quality, to screen. if only it had a removable battery, it would be the perfect phone for me.

oh well, you can't have it all, right? :)

Cheers !!!
[Nexus 5 General] smogtdi:
Same here, not even rooted. My AtrixHD was good but the N5 is a fabulous phone at a ridiculous price.
[Nexus 5 General] TheArc:
Coming from the HTC Desire X, the Nexus 5 pretty much kicks the desire x's face in every aspect. But the single thing I love about this phone is the true AOSP look and feel.
[Nexus 5 General] marinierb:
Ran CM on my previous phone because I couldn't stand TouchWiz. With this phone, there is no need. No more crack-flashing and constant frustration with unstable versions. I love it!
[Nexus 5 General] CPNowell:
The one thing this nexus 5 has helped me understand, coming from a progression of HTC phones, is what a "millstone" HTC Sense is round all of their phones' necks!
[Nexus 5 General] Gorgtech:
I used to own a Samsung Galaxy S3 ( i9300, international ) phone and don´t regret the switch to a Nexus 5 32GB white. Well,I´ve switched for one main reason: latest Android updates :good:
[Nexus 5 General] DdragonPT:
I find the stock ROM and Kernel on Nexus 5 simply amazing, I am not seeing my self changing anything until google stos giving updates for this phone, or until an update completly ruins the android experience.
[Nexus 5 General] nerv8765:
The thing I love best... is the price. I will never pay more than what the current Nexus costs for a phone anymore. There's no reason.

When you have an HTC One like I did, you just want to get rid of Sense in the worst possible way, but here it is already done for you, and cheaper. It's CRAZY I tell you!
[Nexus 5 General] kurtyyyyyy:
When my non tech friends don't even know what a nexus phone is.

Then they have a go and are amazed how fast and sexy it is!
[Nexus 5 General] XDANelius:
coming from LG Esteem and selling it for a iPhone 4 (big mistake IMHO) this is the sexiest phone ever and i wont be getting rid of it until the Nexus 6 comes out! especially with VanirROM!
[Nexus 5 General] b.spec:
I have to agree with OP in that the notification light and the ability to customize colors and flash rate is probably the single, most useful feature on the N5 for me. Without touching my phone I can tell when I receive a text or e-mail and also who is sending it. As someone who sends and receives many texts/e-mails the notification light is probably responsible for the great battery life I'm getting.

I know that's not really N5 specific, but it's still my favorite thing about this phone.
[Nexus 5 General] Cirkustanz:
Use one of the variety of methods of reading text messages through text-to-speech and you can hear the message without turning on the phone. :)

Personally I have it setup with tasker to read text messages outloud, but only if it's connected to my bluetooth headphones, or if the phone is also connected to my home wifi network. (This prevents them from being read outloud while I'm at work or out somewhere)
[Nexus 5 General] b.spec:
I'll look into this! Haha yeah before I read the second part of your post I was thinking it could be awkward if your phone starts reading a text from the girlfriend or something outloud in the middle of work.

*working away...*

*N5 starts talking* "Hey baby, when you get home I'm gonna..."

"AHHH SHHHIIIIII-"

*throws N5 out window*

[Nexus 5 General] manny05:
Coming from a Galaxy s4. The n5's performance is just outstanding. Never had a phone so smooth, snappy and with great battery life! The only thing I miss about the s4 is the camera. But I got used to the n5 camera. It's not too bad. Gets the job done
[Nexus 5 General] DummyPLUG:
Come from S4, the N5 is really silk smooth, and very responsive!!!

p.s. although benchmark nearly the same.
[Nexus 5 General] ISDP:
Coming from a HTC One X, I love this phone way more just because it's a Nexus. I had a Nexus S before I got the HOX, but I lost wifi and audio on the HOX, declared it broken and went back to the Nexus line.

Best choice I've made in a while.
[Nexus 5 General] _jordan_:
That's what's so crazy about the n5. It blows the other 2013 flagahips clean out of the water as far as performance goes. Yes the camera isn't as good as the HTC one or s4, but it gets the job done.
[Nexus 5 General] bingbings:
The fact that it is totally black and reminds me of my N900, Nokia's Maemo device, still by far the best ever geek device .

coming from a Samsung Galaxy S4 I love my N5 for the performance and how it barely heats up (unlike the S4 and it's bloatware)

-no bloatware

-Always the first one to update

-awesome screen resolution

-easier to root

[Nexus 5 General] Atomix86:
If I had to pick one single thing I loved, it would be the perfect feel and fit of the phone. 5" screen is the exact sweet spot and best compromise between media consumption and comfortable use, plus it's thin design and light weight is pure icing on the cake in this respect. But there's so much more to this glorious device :victory: :good:

[Nexus 5 General] Simonna:
I came from Galaxy S3 and my Nexus 5 is much better than Samsung Galaxy S3 because my Galaxy S3 didn't feel as smooth as my Nexus 5, it had terrible Touchwiz skin,which made me to learn how to flash custom roms on it,LOL.And Galaxy S3 had Sudden Death Syndrome issue which could make it to die suddenly in any time (thanks God I sold it before that sh*t) And plus,my Nexus 5 feels more solid it doesn't look as cheap as Galaxy S3 did.

I love my N5. Single best thing for me is stock android. Coming from an HTC m7 I love the prompt updates and being on the bleeding edge of Android.

Also the performance is great. Not a huge fan of the battery life but whatever. Keep a charger handy.

[Nexus 5 General] jetbruceli:
The best thing is the updates and pure android experience. Haven't installed a new ROM since the pre rooted one.

I really just wish I had gotten the 32gb one. This storage stuff really is a pain in the butt.

I can't store many games or videos without having to install back and forth and also, have to keep a micro USB thumb drive for transfer stuff. It takes a hit on the battery by doing so.

Really wish google would have made an micro SD slot for the device.
[Nexus 5 General] Jonnyredcorn:
Even though there are phones with slightly better hardware out now the Nexus 5 still out preforms them in day to day use in smoothness and fluidity.

However the single best thing about Nexus in general had got to be the development community. That is the main reason I got the Nexus 5. My Galaxy s4 running an AOSP ROM was only slightly slower but had a few small bugs here and there as AOSP ROMs on non-nexus devices(spefically Samsung as that is what I'm comparing it to).

[Nexus 5 General] Silkeyway:
I'm not like some guys that go back and forth on ROMs and kernels every other day, but I'm somewhat of a command line fan. I only use (L)ubuntu on my stationary devices at home and I'm very happy that I can just plug my Nexus 5 in and do about anything I want by just opening xterm and going for adb and fastboot. No fancy toolkits, no trying out drivers on Windows for hours, no need to use hacks to unlock bootloader and all that stuff. For me, that's really the single best thing, as it seems to be a standalone "feature". Loved my Nexus 4 for that too. But I had to get that 4G capability now. :highfive:

Still, I'm only going for CM most of the time because to me it provides the ideal combination of customization, while those custom features mostly look like stock because of their seamless integration. I love how I just flash it and got root access management out of the box and stuff like that. But I guess I'm drifting off topic now. :)
[Nexus 5 General] humzaahmed155:
Coming from a One X, I now know what its like to have normal battery life!

The Nexus 5 has one of the best Audio DACs I've ever experienced on a phone. People over at HeadFi called the One X the worst in terms of sound quality, and it's true.

The One X was a laggy, unsupported fireball. So its great to have a blazing fast phone with amazing battery and A SCREEN THAT ISN'T OVERSATURATED.

The hox was not that bad common :) in terms of build quality it was ahead of the n5. But i agree it had its flaws. And anyone even remotely serious about sound should use viperfx or similar software. The stock n5 sound is still a bit dull

There seems to be a lot of discussion about HBOOT versions in the new KitKat ROM threads, so I thought it would be interesting to see how many users are running each HBOOT version at the moment.

I don't know, how do I find out?

You need to reboot your phone to the bootloader screen.

If you have advanced reboot options enabled, simply hold down the power button for a couple of seconds, select reboot, then select bootloader.

If you do not have advanced reboot options enabled, restart your phone normally, as soon as the screen turns off, press and hold the volume down button and the phone will reboot to the screen below.

When the phone is off, hold the volume down button and while holding press the power button.

Note: The attatched picture is taken from another phone. You will not have this HBOOT version!
