[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
If you searched defect, some of the threads would leave you to believe that the nexus 5 is practically a ticking time bomb ready to blow up, maybe 1 in 20 is a perfect model, and the defects are endless.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
So?

If he searches "defect" he will see all the potential defects of this phone, which is what he asked for.

If he then doesn't have the intelligence to work out not all nexus 5 phones are like that, well nothing I can do there. ...and nothing I care about. I'm not here to sell the Nexus 5 to him. I couldn't care less if he got a nexus 5 or not.

Edit > actually, given his blase attitude towards forum rules, i'd probably rather he got an iPhone

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Looking at getting an N5

What's up N5 forum?

I'm wanting to get a new phone and I'm looking at a couple different devices. The N5 is on the top of my list though. I think for the price and the device you're getting, I just can't go wrong.

I've been reading through the N5 threads to get familiar with the device. Looks really nice, has some great hardware specs and has a lot of development, overall seems like a great device.

So how's everyone liking the device so far?

The only things that really concern me about the device is that it doesn't have a external sd card slot and doesn't have a removable battery. Anyone having issues with this?

Is the 16gb version enough or should I just go for the 32gb. I'm leaning towards the 32gb for the extra storage.

Anyone done a tear down on the device and know if the internal SD card is accessible and can be replaced with a larger SD card? I did this with my HTC HD7 and swapped the original internal 16gb SD card for a 32gb card.

I'm on metro pcs service, so is there any perks to either the Google play edition or the T-Mobile?

Either way I plan on unlocking the bootloader, rooting and flashing a custom rom.

Any feedback is appreciated
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
Get 32 GB

why does everyone always want this :confused:

The Google play store and Tmobile are the same phone. There's only two models United States and rest of the world.

Never heard of anyone opening up a nexus 5 to put a larger SD card in there
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Well my concern was if the battery goes out there's no way to replace it... right? So the device is rendered useless and then your left with buying a new device. It's not like this is a deal breaker for me, I was just wondering if anyone has had any problems. I know it's a relatively new device and no one should have any problems with the battery yet.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Thanks for the tear-down links.... They were very informative. I feel better knowing that the battery is pretty easily replaceable if needed.

The N5 has an integrated memory so there is not actual SD card in the device, but either way the 16gb or 32gb will be plenty of storage.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
Bought a Nexus 5

Well I ended up buying a brand new N5 16gb yesterday from a friend that ordered it from the Google play store. He got impatient on waiting for it to come in (was back ordered) so he bought a galaxy note 3 in the meantime and then sold me the N5 for $280. I was gonna hold out for the 32gb but that was too great of a deal to pass up.

I already unlocked the Bootloader, flashed cwm touch and rooted it. Super easy process, the thing that took the longest was setting up all the drivers... lol. Waiting on flashing a ROM just yet until I figure out which one I want to go with. Loving the device so far, man it's quick.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] logicisme:
Ok, I am ordinarily a nice person, but nothing makes me angrier and homicidal on a phone call than the phone INACCURATELY ENDING MY CALL!

To me, this is just about the worst behavior a phone can have other than poor reception. I am currently fleeing from Sprint due to garbage reception in the house and am trying out T-Mobile, which actually has reception and isn't $100 for a single line like VZ. Just in case you are asking, Airrave didn't work for me, it drops with it as well.

So here is the question, has anyone skinned the KitKat dialer in a way that makes the end call button a minimal button like mute and not 1/4 of the darn screen? The forums are full of pictures showing dialers / apps but almost no pics of modded "in call screen". What the heck Google! This is not OK!

It seems to me that the dialer app should have some sort of API so it can be skinned / rearranged. I haven't looked into this much as I didn't want to start a huge project before querying everyone else.

Anyone else have an issue with the on-screen music widget not properly updating on all of the themes? For instance when the song changes, the widget doesn't update to the next song. Also when you touch for the next track, the information displayed doesn't change and shows i am still on the last track. Anyone know how to fix this or is it just a bug that needs to be worked on?

Edit: My main music player of choice is Spotify

Hi, this trick should help:

1. Uninstall Themer.

2. Delete the /sdcard/MyColorScreen/ folder (removing the Exported folder within it if you saved any themes).

3. Reinstall Themer.

Hi, I have been trying to root my P7310 tab using the instructions and root files I found in several threads. My problem is that when I boot in recovery mode I don't get in the list of options the one that says 'apply update from SD card', I only get the option of updating from external storage or cache.

Anyone could help me with this?

Thank you,

C
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] iZLeeP:
Use the guide from here by nirogu325 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1406137

It has all that you need. And when in recovery, it's not necessarily 'apply update from SD card'. Just choose the zip file that you have to flash to gain root. I suggest that you use TWRP recovery on this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2602188
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] cacciucco:
Thanks for your help, I will try the instructions although they look a bit complicated for a near novice like me. My problem with the zip file is that when I am in recovery mode I cannot select any path leading to the SD Card root folder where the zip has been uploaded. It drives me nuts, it seems to work for everyone else but me!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] upconvert:
The original gingerbread recovery had an option to flash zips. The ICS recovery did not. Rooting was way easier on GB because of this. The only way to root ICS is to install a custom recovery to flash a root.zip file.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] cacciucco:
Make sense, something to keep me busy next weekend...
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] iZLeeP:
Didn't know that. Never touched the original firmware that came with my tab. It was only when I upgraded to ICS via odin that I started tinkering with it.

Instructions from the guide are relatively easy to follow. Just read the whole lot. I think it would be better if you upgrade to ICS first if your still in Honeycomb.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] upconvert:
Right, honeycomb, not gingerbread. I got my sweets mixed up. I don't think this tab ever had GB.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] cacciucco:
I am on ICS, I think this is why I cannot simply use the zip file with the standard recovery options. Will try the instructions and report.

Thanks all,

C
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jd1639:
You need to install a custom recovery with odin. Then you flash the zip file in the custom recovery.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] iZLeeP:
Yes, the guide tells you that you need to flash custom recovery before you could flash any zip file.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] cacciucco:
Ok, I think I need some help. I cannot flash zip drives from the standard ICS recovery as I do not get the option of accessing the SD card (see photo attached) so I can't either root or flash CWMR zip. As suggested I have tried Odin but there are no instructions on how to flash a CWMR zip in the tread, only how to flash ROMs. I have tried to search with the PDA or BOOTLOADER buttons but I cannot load a zip file in Odin. I am really not sure what to do now?

can you help?

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] cacciucco:
Done! Not without drama... At first the system would not reboot, had to flash custom recovery, wipe everything and flash the ROM again and then it restarted. Not sure I am going to mess up with my tab again! Stuck to ICS forever it seems...

C
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Inl:
Well yeah I didn't mention that you should do a full wipe first because I thought you already knew that:p

anyway, hopefully messing up with your tab won't be necessary, cuz stock ICS is the best, personally I use this tweaked one:

[ROM][ICS][STOCK][P7300/P7310][LQJ/LPV][Deodexed/Odexed] Final Build [14/1/14]

It is the best!!!:victory:
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] cacciucco:
Cheers, what are the differences with the tweaked ROM you have?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] iZLeeP:
Agree, I've tried the 10.1.3 and 10.2 CM versions before. But IMHO, overall performance is not on par with stock ICS.

It's a matter of preference, actually. In my case, I used the original firmware on the thread and tweaked it to my liking.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Inl:
Well it is not just tweaked, you can check the features in the original thread,

Personally I like how striped and light it is, and it is deodexed too.

I don't really know if the tweaks are making it fast, but overall it is amazing :fingers-crossed:

do you suggest any specific tweaks?? I'd like to try if they really make any differences:angel:
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] iZLeeP:
None really. My rom.zip is only around 191MB compared to the 300MB in the original thread. I always remove apps/lib/folders that I don't use including minimode.jar in framework and/or those that I eventually replace with Play Store apps (e.g. stock launcher replaced by holo launcher hd and install greenify [free version will do]). On top of which it, i install v6+kak+3g as I have good experience with those scripts versus other scripts.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Inl:
I think he can make it 150MB or less if he want but he has to consider other users needs, personally I use minimode and social hub and stock launcher and other heavy stuff, so if he removed them I would hate his rom and go back to official one.

also I read one or two users' posts complaining about <why did you remove this and why did you remove that>,

anyway I might give your suggested scripts a try and report you back if I noticed any real differences;)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] iZLeeP:
I believe he preserved the stock experience. While mine is stock minus all samsung apps/widgets, which is my personal preference. Honestly, I tried various scripts, and even combinations of them, but it was nowhere near the performance of the 3 scripts I earlier mentioned (came only from one author). You would have to try the scripts yourselves and other scripts as well to be able to judge it, as I don't want to be biased to other script developers.
