Awww....you disappointed dicecuber.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyfan61:
I'm sorry that yours is like that but that doesn't mean the problem applies to the entire line. My N5 is rock solid and feels very high quality.

According to who? There is no standard convention on which way USB should face. The USB port on my HTC Amaze faced the same way as the N5 (except it was on the side instead of the bottom), so it's all about what you're used to, not about right and wrong.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redalertlb:
I love my phone the battery isn't the greatest but oh well. The only reason I even complain about my battery is because I'm coming from a note 3 which has a massive battery. Other then that no complaints at all if I want music I have Google all access music and my games run buttery smooth.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizzardbeets223:
i own a n5 and an htc one. ive had the n5 for a couple weeks, the htc one a few days. have not done anything to it. the n5 is unlocked and rommed. it is a pretty solid device. overall am i still happy with it? of course. if i had to sell a device for some reason? it would be the n5. i guess it just depends on your preference of what you want out of it. there are things i like and dislike about both. however all that said i would not discourage anyone from buying a n5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
So you like the HTC one better
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sensamic:
I had it for two weeks and returned it due to the microphone problem during videos.

Some people say all nexus 5 have this problem. Some bigger and others smaller. It may be a hardware problem, so beware.

I also returned it because it didn't feel like a huge upgrade coming from a SGS3. Battery just slightly bigger, camera was much worse than my SGS3, speakers not that loud and terrible terrible vibration motor. Wouldn't feel it inside my pocket most times.

I also missed some big features, like a great camera, great battery life, more storage, etc.

In the end, most flagships nowadays are getting 3 updates, same as any Nexus, and you still get better features.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizzardbeets223:
i guess i wouldnt tend to go that far. to put it best id say that because i like so much about both devices, that if i had to sell one right now it would be the n5 basically because i have only had the one for a few days. luckily im not in that position, so i can enjoy both! (im not promoting a device war by any means. if it came off that way then i apologize. it wasnt intentional)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
I understand but as of right now my Nexus 5 sucks

Phone calls are very important to me and they just sound sh*T, Wifi is weak,Vibration is weak,battery life sucks (stock)

But its still a Nexus
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 072665995:
The 3 updates are only the result of Google releasing Android 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 in (if my memory serves correctly) under 1 year or so. They were mostly incremental updates with performance improvements. The big thing you will see is with the upgrade to KitKat which is entirely new android version. It's really different and unless you root your phone (which many people do not), then most phones before 2013 flagships will NOT see 4.4. Which is a shame really, because phones like the One X and SGS3 are still very capable phones.

let's just say both the HTC One and the Nexus 5 have their pros and cons and call it a day as I don't think it needs to be discussed :)

In regards to OP, yes, very satisfied given that I came from a single core phone. The Nexus 5 has great software support and the latest hardware. It isn't without it's flaws though but I think we all know about those.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipTD:
I don't have any of the problems you have. Shouldn't you rma?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
No because I'm on T-Mobile jump when that nexus 6 comes or HTC one 2 comes out im going to scoop that up instead. Which everyone is better of course.

Would be nice to see HTC as the choice for the OEM for the nexus line up. I would deff pay a premium for a metal nexus with front facing speakers
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
After tweaking the phone a bit it is becoming quite a nice phone. It is fast and runs well. The only complaint was a low speaker volume and when you root you lose all your internal storage but I figured a few tweaks out. I can't wait to see what kind of speeds Spark brings. I came from a Droid 3 and had to downgrade to a Droid due to a shattered screen and this is quite the upgrade.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizzardbeets223:
not to be rude but quite frankly i dont care what you think should or should not be discussed. he asked, and i answered. as for both of my posts, i said exactly as you did. they both have their pros and cons. all phones do. there is no perfect device. i offered nothing but opinion from real world experience. trust me im the last person youll ever see in a phone fanboy hate war. i think its rather ridiculous.

to the folks that hate their n5's i feel for you. not because i hate mine by any means (as stated, twice) but because i too have eagerly awaited the possession of a new device only to find out it has become a let down. its not a good feeling at all. i encourage you guys to obtain new devices that better satisfy your taste if that option is available to you. we are all passionate about our androids. some to extreme levels. (guilty :/)

to the people who just cant understand why one would hate this or that device, please take into consideration that many things can affect ones perception of a future purchase. please also remember that these devices are anything but cheap, and people sometimes are very upset in what they receive in return for their hard earned money. as we are all part of a developmental community, i hope we would all understand that specification numbers on a document dont always reflect the results for the device. there are often many unforseen factors that help form ones opinion of the device.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I don't have this phone yet, but I will be getting it in the mail Monday. I am coming from a Moto X, which is a great device. I love the phone overall. But two gripes I have is the development for the phone and the fact that it's "wannabe stock"

I want the N5 because of the ROM support. Its outstanding. I'm used to the Note 2, S4, HTC One, and when you have Roms on there, there's not a major difference. The AOSP Roms are always buggy. With the N5, your going to have a phone that was made to he tinkered with. Most apps that are made to replace something (lockscreens, launchers, etc) were made for fitting a stock android (N5) experience.

I am excited about this phone because its been a while since I've rooted a phone. Its an addiction that has been cured with VZWs S4 and HTC One, but The relapse is far more exciting then sticking with stuff almost out of the box
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmorris710:
I just got one for me and wife 3 days ago, and holy frickin hell, the damn battery! A couple hours? I don't get it. I had an Evo LTE and I would maybe have low battery warning at bedtime, its barely smaller, 720p screen. I don't think its an acceptable excuse, is it defective panels?

I had mighty high hopes, and I'm really only seeing very very minimal improvement over my old phone on anything else. The camera if you read reviews and see samples seems like it should be an improvement, but it really didn't seem like it much. Has the battery always been this much crappy or is it recent software or will it get better? I'm finding myself not liking a brand new phone that I should be pretty excited about.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shanda1:
Currently I'm very happy with my N5

At the beginning I was dissatisfied with battery, but now especially after flashing franco kernel evereything is just fine.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbarayah:
I've been through my share of Android phones over the years and the N5 is my third Nexus device.

I can honestly say, it is by far the best smartphone that I have owned. The screen is great, battery life is the best I've experienced, and stock Android 4.4 is finally what I expected from Google. I can get 5+ hours of SOT with this phone, which is plenty to get me through a days use. Plus, at $350 and no cellular contract, I don't think I could ask for much more.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizzardbeets223:
That is great screen time. I love no contract options as well. That there has sold me on previous devices. Keep enjoying that n5!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Yup, couldn`t be happier. Good cpu/gpu, descent camera, easy to root and costumize, good looks and a good price. What more do you want? ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goofball2k:
Very happy. The only thing is, coming from an iphone, is that I spend way more time now just trying out ROM's all the time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
That will wear off in the future, just give it time ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goofball2k:

I would like a bigger battery too. But I bought the phone knowing what size the battery was. That doesn't change that I wish it was bigger. But over all I'm very happy with the phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _jordan_:
This phone is beyond fresh.

I came from the galaxy nexus which was also $350 brand new. This phone is way better.

I would also like to add that the Nexus 4 sucked donkey balls, and I am so happy the Nexus 5 has very little in common with it, especially that glass back.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeypaws:
I think ill be in the same boat years from now. I plan on keeping my nexus 5 until its not supported anymore and it just doesn't work properly. I was done getting the newest every 6 months or so.

FOR ME

Plus (+) :

1. Excelent performance for game.

2. We can get the best Developers support on XDA :laugh:

3. Less bug.

4. Will be the first phone that can get the software update

5. Good battery life for Full HD resolution screen

Minus (-) :

1. No expandable memory

2. No feature like knock on to unlock or lock the screen, etc (but u can get it from custom ROM i think)

3. Bad dekstop UI design (Can't add folder on app drawer, app only sort by aphabet)

4. Camera quality no good enough (some device get sound problem when recording video, maybe software prob)

Sorry for my english :D

Happy, yes - but bored of it. I actually think I've outgrown the need to root phones as they do what I need stock now. The only reason I bought the N5 was because it was cheap

Try slapping on a good custom kernel and you`ll be even happier ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ICeNoAcH:
Well I've flashed Droidkang V19 but the included kernel did not made my batterylife any better. Do love all the options though.

I'm just not sure if I should flash a custom kernel and what kernel to choose from.

I heard bricked and elemental should work fine but don't know what's the difference between them.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Franco kernel has very good batterylife, color control and sound improvements imo. Never run my Nexus`s without it ;)

I'm 100% satisfied with the Nexus 5. Sure as with all things in life some things could be better but going anywhere over $400 for the 32gb version would not have been worth it to me. The pricing and what is packaged for the pricing is spot on IMO.

I bought it because it was an unlocked cheap stock Android device. It didn't hurt that it was fast looks good and works well.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lchiu7:
I have owned all Nexus models though the Nexus S and Nexus 4 I bought for my daughter. I myself used the Nexus One and now the 5.

The 5 is certainly the best phone I've had so far. About the only issue I have with it is the stock e-mail client which for some e-mails from sites, displays HTML links as plain text. But this is not a Nexus 5 issue per se since it also occurs on the same sites with my Nexus 7 (both stock and running 4.2.2).

It's way better than the GN I replaced it with which was a good phone in its own right.

I love the wireless charging. I keep one charger by my bed and charge overnight and then one on my desk at work to keep the charge during the day.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DNKROZ:
I upgraded from an HTC Desire to the Nexus 5 and I couldn't be more satisfied. The Desire was flawed with random reboots from day one (GPS was a nightmare) and updates didn't fix the issue for me, made the frequency lower but it still happened from time to time. Battery time was utter crap, internal memory was a joke... I still can't figure out how did I survive more than three years with that.

With the Nexus 5 I haven't had a single random reboot, no hangups, no lags, tons of apps installed, good cell signal, camera works MUCH better than I expected and very close, if not better, than an iPhone 5S (can't understand the reviews out there, I have the two of them to compare)...

Of course, everyone has different luck,... but I bough two white ones (32 GB version) and no problem with the other one either.

So, one happy user here :fingers-crossed:
