I agree whole heartedly. My wife has the moto x and it feels so comfortable, even with a case.

The Nexus 5 to me feels great without a case and i love the soft touch, but I have yet to find a case that is comfortable to hold. THe spigen cases all make the phone feel boxy and uncomfortable.

The battery life is a bit sketchy, but I think i can live with it.
[Nexus 5 General] jxr94:
This, and the speakers being a little weak is all I can think of.
[Nexus 5 General] Tenhi:
Just that adapter, and micro SD card of course. I just ordered one for my Nexus 7. I keep almost all media files there, especially movies and series...
[Nexus 5 General] stone_phalanges:
That is truly awesome! Have you ever thought of making an app that would do something like that for others that have a server to dump their songs into.
[Nexus 5 General] stone_phalanges:
Whats wrong with the music player? why would you need to root to get another music app?
[Nexus 5 General] iLuvMudkips:
I took advantage of T-Mobile's deal and made the switch so I could get unlimited data. I don't have the SD slot, but I just use my 64gb as a flash drive now. Since I have unlimited data I store what I need on the cloud and stream all my music from Google Music All Access. I'm loving my new set-up and, honestly, the Nexus 5 is a significant improvement over my previous phone the Galaxy S4. My 16 gigs is honestly ample storage for my phone.
[Nexus 5 General] Blackbox421:
Actually I thought like you at first before I bought my Nexus 5. But with my 32GB Version, I really don't habe any storage problems anymore. I've all the music in my phone. :)

Been using this for a while. :good:
[Nexus 5 General] eshopper:
i just meant the quality is not as good as itunes or HTC beats.. winamp is good but unable to purchase from the app and there is disturbance kinda knocks sometimes and doesnt play consistently... google music has improved drastically but not a top notch..

yet to try neutron and poweramp

(note above verdict is after listening in headphones in all those apps)
[Nexus 5 General] Damian2013:
I only use Google play music. Never had any issues so far.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Its ok. I use it to stream. Quality isn't great. I compare it to spotify regularly and spotify wins hands down.

If I had space for local music, i'd use poweramp but I don't and even when I last did, I ended up streaming everything
[Nexus 5 General] OuncE718:
You have the 16gb?

[Nexus 5 General] Tw1tchy:
I have a 16 Gb too. I don't store any music on my phone though but I do stream cloud music. The problem is there are no good Canadian service providers. I'm limited with 2Gb and anything more would cost me more than $100 month on plan.
[Nexus 5 General] letdatbassknock:
That'll work. I already have a 32gb micro SD I store my music on
[Nexus 5 General] bennycop:
I wish it had bigger battery. And only 32/64 gb models.
[Nexus 5 General] OuncE718:
2gb? Streaming music sounds pointless unless you have WiFi wherever you go.

[Nexus 5 General] ilostmypistons:
I bought a 32Gb so I love this phone. I just wish I could play music through my car stereo but that's any android
[Nexus 5 General] bobprobert:
most car stereos have an rca input in the back of the unit. you just need to run an adapter with rca on one end and headphone jack on the other and plug your phone in this way. or if you have a really old stereo with cassette deck in it there are adapters for that too.
[Nexus 5 General] jacoballen22:
So for $15 I could solve my problem and keep my nexus?
[Nexus 5 General] Damian2013:
I don't notice the difference in music on my actual phone vs streaming. I always use the HQ streaming option in the play music app. Would that matter?
[Nexus 5 General] CheesyNutz:
plus the cost of the sdcard yes

I dislike the meenova because it sticks out of USB port. Looks like an easy snap breakage

[Nexus 5 General] RobLudo:
That's cool. But how much does it drain battery life assuming it's always plugged ?
[Nexus 5 General] jxr94:
Alright I'll try it out, thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] hamad138:
Better speakers and battery
[Nexus 5 General] SComp23:
The screen size :(

I came from a Note II and didn't realize how much I liked that extra screen real estate. I would have gotten the Note 3 but the lack of a tri-band radio killed it for me.
[Nexus 5 General] CheesyNutz:
hardly any that i can tell i still pull 24-27 hours a charge with normal use
[Nexus 5 General] Beauenheim:
I wish the charging port wasn't upside down.
[Nexus 5 General] shahrooz.omd:
none as of now
[Nexus 5 General] 3DSammy:
It looks no less susceptible to breakage than an OTG cable and a heck of a lot more compact. Outside of a man card slot in the device itself what would you want?
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
L-shaped otg cables are quite good in that its easier to.play games landscape. The more something sticks out (eg meenova) the more leverage applied at the end meaning the more chance of snapping.

Something with a U shape would be ideal, coming out of the socket and double-backing to behind the phone but nothing like that seems to exist
[Nexus 5 General] qwahchees:
I have a little creak in the top right of the phone :( and the battery can always be improved. A 3k MaH would've been amazing.
[Nexus 5 General] ej8989:
The G2 has 3k mAh battery, but it creaks everywhere. :P
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
Every phone creaks if you push hard enough.
[Nexus 5 General] jyuuken:
U better dude viper4android is a beast in terms of sound optimization
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:

[Nexus 5 General] WoodburyMan:
A SD Card would be my #1 feature I wish it had. I store large amounts of video and music on the phone. I usually like to store entire seasons of shows on the phone so I can just keep watching without having to copy over more files to continue. USB OTG Meenova has somewhat solved it for me, however it still takes extra time to copy over the files from USB OTG rather than just access and play video (Dont like to leave OTG plugged in as I have to go case-less for it to fit).

Despite what everyone says "Oh all the OEM's are going SD-Cardless now" and "ZOMG CLOUD"... some people still have very limited and tiered data plans. I had a 2gb plan when I got my Galaxy S4 back in May 2012, first Android phone. I copied music to my phone, either on SD card or internal don't remember. I used Google Music to play my music. SOMEHOW the stupid thing we streaming all my music from Google Music (I have it all uploaded there as a backup) instead of playing the local files. It did it for a several days on my drives to work, school, etc. After a week I noticed I had used 1.7gb of data, and it 1.6gb of it was Google Music streaming. Disabled Google Music right then and there and used the simple music player / Apollo from CM. Still don't use Google Music to this day for dear of blasting through my data plan.

Unfortunately on the N5 with all 15gb of my music copied (Yes, I want it all accessible not just my favorites, as I listen to my phone on random shuffle a lot) I am only left with 10-13gb at most for movies. This equates to maybe a full season of a show based on quality with 1 or 2gb free.

Also one HUGE kicker is when I went on Vacation on a 8 day cruise last year, I took my Galaxy S4 with me. Didn't need a laptop the entire time to offload video or data. I recorded HOURS of 1080p video, and HUNDREDS of 13MP photos all directly onto my SD card. I had someodd 20gb of video and photos when I was done. (I had a waterproof dustproof case I took with me snorkeling, and ATV riding, etc etc so got lots of video and such). I could never do that with my Nexus 5 unless I completely blanked out the phone and left no music or video on there for the bus/plane rides to the ship.

#2 Removable battery. I never thought Id like it but I did on my S4. I would just use my phone and never worry about charge. I had two spare batteries, so one was always charging, one would be in my bag or pocket, and whenever it ran out i'd just swap it out. No need to be tied to a cord for hours to charge or lug around a external battery. I would go a full 24+ hours on a battery usually, and just wake up in the morning and swap it out for a fresh one, no worries.
[Nexus 5 General] WarRaven:
How did you charge your extra batteries while using phone?

I carry a power rock, it plugs into anything that has power, has 6000 mah and works for my tablet too when needed.

That's what I use for my media, the tablet, music on phone, video on tablet for use on larger screen.

Idk, trade offs, like moving into a new house or buying a new car, things change, question is, are we too outdated to make the needed change as well?

I've got a question about your data... How?! I've for 1gb of data and that just about lasts me a month!! Just using Facebook for 20 mins drains 25 MB! I don't have play store set to use automatic downloads, although I do download apps rarely (apps up to 15MB)... Where can I buy your magical data saving powers?! Lol thanks

---------- Post added at 07:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

Did I hear screen real estate?! Change ur dpi to something that suits you better. Download BuildProp Editor from the play store, and when you open the app search for "LCD" . Tap on it and change the property value. Anything between 300-480 (480 is the default) is safe. I use 370, but most people prefer 400... 370 dpi screenshots:
[Nexus 5 General] Manitax:
I use 370 too. Its the best with stock launcher.

red nexus 5 32GB version
[Nexus 5 General] ritchea:
Some of us have poor cellular reception. It's across carriers and global. Replacement devices are not solving the problem. So, while I love this (4th of 5 for me) Nexus device, the cellular reception is much worse than the N4, and maybe even worse than the GNex. The N4 matched iPhone 4S (always has a signal indoors) for signal power; N5 doesn't and loses signal, too.
[Nexus 5 General] rayiskon:
and what happens when you need a file from GDrive or you want to listen to GMusic, and Google services are down at that moment (like it happened a few times lately) ??
[Nexus 5 General] meechieballer:
thats why i always have a back up to a back up for the back up

i got a mp3 with all my music and my cousin got my music on her laptop and i dont really have important documents but my resume on my email and if and somehow all my email get deleted i got a paper copy :)

i dont really pain for playing music on my phone from google music since all the music on there is on the laptop and some on my mp3
[Nexus 5 General] nemofbaby2010:
I usually upload yo Google drive and drop box just a habit to upload more than one place in case something gets corrupted
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
I rely on Google a lot actually. I backup all my photos and videos to G+. I pay $10 a month for Google All Access Music, which I feel is worth it. I upload stuff that take up a lot of space to either Google Drive or Box (stuff like Titanium Backups and Clockworkmod Backups). I dont watch movies or TV shows on my phone. I just cant do it. I can wait to watch them at home. Other than that, I dont have much stored on my phone and I can't really think of anything that I NEED to take with me.
[Nexus 5 General] x111:
Screen, so awful display, before to buy thought so much, but nexus 5 so well working compare to my Galaxy S4 (Google S4 Google Edition is a sucks that even worst than i9505, so no way).

Google, please, makes Super Amoled for next Nexus phone,

or at least makes available custom personal order for who want to have Super Amoled display, it is not a big deal to change screen,

or makes just separate part which I can order and install by myself !
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Buy a samoled phone then. Nexus aim is to be cheap. Samoled would reverse that
[Nexus 5 General] Barbiox Dogg:
The battery life sucks, i wish the battery is bigger.

I can't really complain about sd card slot because all Nexus devices doesn't comes slots.
[Nexus 5 General] hutchy69:
For me the one let down with the N5 is the build quality. It's a cheap device, and it feels cheap in the hand. Maybe if you're coming from a Samsung device, it won't feel so cheap, but my previous device was the Motorola Razr (XT910) and the build quality on that was incredible.
[Nexus 5 General] gee2012:
The N5 doesn`t look and feel cheap to me, its sturdy and well build imo especialy when compared to Samsung devices. Btw not a Sammy basher (owned the whole Galaxy line except for the Note 3). Wouldn`t go back anymore ;)
[Nexus 5 General] marleyfan61:
Totally disagree. My N5 feels rock solid. No quality issues at all. I came from the HTC Amaze which had an aluminum body and was built like a tank. The N5 does not feal cheap in comparison. It just feels much lighter and thinner..
[Nexus 5 General] tebore:
SAMOLED displays are garbage. I value color accuracy over the crap oversaturated stuff Samsung puts out.

Black to white contrasts are the only advantage they have and power drain.

Apple gets this right when they calibrates their displays. The N5 has an incredible display that's accurate with color production.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Its subjective.
[Nexus 5 General] x111:
Damn it! All the colors that you see are natural, and even if you like to see another, you can calibrate supper amoled display.

Also, Nexus 5 cheaper than others phones only because Google does not have so much net profit from sales.
[Nexus 5 General] whipcream:
My issue is the lack of IMAP IDLE (push) in the stock email client.

The standard is from 1997 for crying out loud - c'mon Google make it happen!
[Nexus 5 General] ej8989:
Color reproduction is not natural on amoled displays. I understand that you prefer colors that pop-out

but

those are not the colors that game/app developers, wallpaper makers, movie producers, and graphics designers intended for you to see.
[Nexus 5 General] x111:
Now we talk, here I agree, and all colors are natural !

Some people even cannot see the same with other people colors.
[Nexus 5 General] ummduh:
I wouldn't have bought it if I had to stay with VZW due to data caps, but since I switched to T-mo with unlimited I went for it.

I did order the Meenova mSD reader, keep my 32GB card from my old S3 in it, and leave it on my keychain. It's already come in handy when I had to do a job with sketchy internet access.

http://www.meenova.com/st/p/m3r.html
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Tell that to people who work with digital art. Believe it or not accurate (ie. natural) color reproduction is actually a highly sought after feature and simply not something OLED is able to do at this point.

You're not alone in enjoying over saturated and exaggerated colors however. Many people will destroy color reproduction on their home PCs by using nVidia's "digital vibrance" or the AMD equivalent because it appeals to them as well.

So while no one blames you for liking it, resorting to butchering the definition of natural color and bringing up color blindness (or is it a metaphysical argument about what color truly is?) is not going to convince anyone of your cause.
[Nexus 5 General] Koersten:
Not enough memory? Just plug in some more when you want some additional music tracks (e.g. on a train). Meenova is a very good solution for this.

[Nexus 5 General] 3DSammy:
To me the biggest argument for amoled screen technology is the lack of light bleed. I following the grips about both tablets and phone screens and light bleed is by far the #1 complaint and source for the return of otherwise working devices. Companies get blamed for low quality control most often based on this "defect". It makes me wonder if the overhead caused by the return of those devices would offset the extra cost of amoled screens.

Of course every tech has its limitations as the over saturated color complaint attests.
[Nexus 5 General] lukesan:
Or they should make a rubber casing to protect the N5 with a sd-card reader inside and a passthrough for the micro-usb to charge. I think I would buy that in an instant.
[Nexus 5 General] Elite_Deforce:
Coming from an EVO 3D, I can't really complain about much.

There isn't a lot to complain about... but the only things I would change would be the ability to add an SD card, and I guess that it would be nice if I could use Wi-Fi calling with T-Mobile...

Do you just use all the same rooting methods, roms, and things like that on all of the "Z" series phones, or, are there specific things that only work on a Z/Z1/Z1s?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joemagistro:
hey guys whats going on.. its been a long time since i had a GS4.. i ended up switching to the LG G2 so my time is focused on them forums..

my father has a gs4 and he uses it 95 percent of the time for work. his bluetooth MUST be able to work in his truck for work.

he had no problems when he was on 4,2... Ever since he switched to 4.3, weird things started to happen. on outgoing calls only, it would ring twice and then it would say "call complete" and it would throw the call off bluetooth... the call still goes through in the phone, however it ends on the bluetooth.. it happens on 70% of the calls he makes..

After tracking down this issue, and let me remind you, the bluetooth is the stock one that comes in dodge trucks (UConnect), i came up with this.... the dealer said the software on the bluetooth was up to date.... verizon replaced his s4 with another one. We got the other one and same issue. As another test, i used my mothers s4, which is on 4,3, and guess what?? same problems.. I then tried my G2 running 4.4 and it works fine.. I tried another rooted s4 that wasnt on 4.3 ,and that worked flawlessly as well... We tried all our phones on another bluetooth device and they all work. It just seems like that UConnect doesnt like something in android 4.3... I reseached a little more on the dodge forums and to my surprise i seen this..

http://www.wranglerforum.com/f40/android-4-3-issues-with-uconnect-472897.html

It seems like the issues lie on android 4.3 and a CDMA network phone..

So i read everything in this forum about how the recovery/root works and i see that this update locked down the bootloader bad and we cant go back, and i must use safestrap for anything custom.

So where do i go from here? Is there any way to safestrap a 4.2 rom, while staying on my 4.3 baseband successfully? Given my problems that i said above, im very open to suggestions. I need to get everything working for my dad.. Thanks in advanced!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SwiftLeeO:
You have to be on 4.2 to be able to run 4.2 as far as I know. Anyone please feel free to correct me, I won't mind. I wanted to run 4.2.2 AOSP roms on my safestrapped Verizon Galaxy S4 and I couldn't get it past the boot screen. I do believe however that you if you can find a stock rom for 4.2 that has the better version of bluetooth, you might be able to push it to system/app. I wish you luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joemagistro:
interesting.. im not sure what changed from 4.2 to 4.3 as far as bluetooth, but if its something that can easily be pushed, im curious to know.. soo suggestions are welcomed.. thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SwiftLeeO:
Well I've tried flashing it on Safestrap MK2. I know you can't downgrade from MK2, which is the 4.3 update I believe. You can try hyperdrive on safestrap. It's still 4.3 on RLS12 but the base is MJ7 so maybe that will do something? You need safestrap 3.7.1, baseband modules from the safestrap OP or website, and Hyperdrive RLS12.

I can't suggest it as I have not done it, but you can also try pushing a 4.2 version of uconnect on 4.3 stock. Just remember to backup the 4.3 uconnect in case anything goes sideways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joemagistro:
uconnect isnt in the phone.. its the name of the bluetooth device in the truck.. the phone connects just by turning the phones bluetooth on..

and what do i hear about people flashing roms, such as hyperdrive, and playstore doesnt work??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SwiftLeeO:
I guess it would depend on your device model... I've never had a single issue with Hyperdrive 12 or 13 on my verizon mk2 i545
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joemagistro:
just for the helll of it, ill root the phone, safestrap it and go with hyperdrive.. ill see if that changes anything... the rls13 is updated to mk2 firmware?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SwiftLeeO:
Yes it is. Use saferoot so you don't trip KNOX. If you need to reset to stock for warranty just search vzw samsung galaxy s4 stock mk2
