[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theminigame:
Honestly, This phone sounds like the exact thing you (the op) is looking for. But, it warrants disclosing that there's a reason there is so much discussion about the battery and camera on this device... They are truly the weakest parts this phone has. And depending on your use, it could be crippling, even with modification. But if you only want customization and need nothing else, look no further.

for me, these "issues" coupled with a lack of sd expansion, has made for a tough ride. To the point that I've decided to wait for whatever new things get announced in the coming weeks and I'm jumping ship.. But those are just my needs, you, and most other people would probably be perfectly fine with this phone. it's a a great phone, don't get me wrong, it's just not for me, which is a bummer, because I love the concept of the nexus line..

Unfortunately, besides this phone, T-Mobile's current crop of phones don't really have customizability AND things like sd card slots and a better battery/camera, outside of Samsung, and those phones are hundreds of dollars more..

In my opinion, If the T-Mobile xperia line was unlockable, it would be a juggernaut actually worth the extra money.

Just thought a differing opinion might help you weigh out your decision.

Yeah I mean my S4 wasnt too bad on battery, but I'm sure the N5 will be better. I'm not one to sit on my phone all day long, so even 7 hours wouldnt be bad. Plus, if it gets to the point where I need more battery, I could always buy one of those ZeroLemon battery cases.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftLeeO:
Oh yeah I know all about the camera, battery, volume level, etc. The thing is I rarely ever take pictures, so that solves the camera problem. The battery problem can be remedied with an external battery (right?). The volume level is just its own thing, so I'll have to max it for the ringtone, but as far as music goes, as long as I wear headphones (which I always do), the music quality should just depend on the bitrate and how good my headphones are.

I saw those Xperias' the other day. Your saying they will not SIM unlock the phones? or are you talking about the bootloader?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
After being accustomed to SD card slot, the lack of it in Nexus was the biggest draw back for me. Luckily, I managed to get around that issue by using a Meenova Microusb reader, very handy and certainly a must especially if you're going for the 16gig version. Other than that I managed to get around the battery life issue with Greenified and a custom kernel while UV the **** out of it. It gives me about 5-6 SOT which is on par with devices like the S4 or HO so no complains there. I'd say go for it. I was reluctant on getting the Nexus 5, but after seeing the rapid and consistent developments took place in a matter of weeks, I was sold.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwiftLeeO:
Yeah I have a Moto X Dev atm and even though it has 32gb , I still wanted to do my nandroid backup to SD rather than internal storage (works with CWM, not sure about TWRP), so I got a little Meenova reader. The problem is my computer won't recognize the darn thing when I plug it into any USB port. I use the adapter, but for some reason it says device not recognized and then it won't work. I searched for drivers and there are none to be found. I don't want to have to buy a SD card reader for my PC, so if you have any tips please do let me know. Otherwise, I guess I can shell out 20-30 dollars for a sd reader.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Sounds like you could have used the 32Gb version. If you care about storage expansion yet buy the 16Gb (all that's offered in stores unfortunately) it's kind of shooting yourself in the foot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theminigame:
That's not really the issue.. I use a 64gb SD card for all my music.. And it only has 4Gb left. I like to carry all my music with me. So 32gb minus formatting and system use for the phone and even less after apps.. Leaves around 22 gigs which is less than half of what I need for music... My solution is USB otg.. But is a huge battery hog... And I don't have the data to stream nonstop. So, like I said, It's a great phone, just not really for me.

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

I actually bought that little meenova reader. It's a great little device. But USB otg really works the battery over.. And I'm constantly listening to music, my job consists of me being in my car for extended periods and I stream my music over blue tooth. So my battery goes pretty quickly, even with a custom kernel that's been pretty heavily undervolted...

Your card will read outside of the reader? The stuff that came with my meenova works perfectly fine when plugged into the pc.. Maybe it's your SD card format? Either way, that's a bummer, I would just try to troubleshoot it before spending extra money on another card reader..

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amsage3:
I am on Verizon, and am running CM11...I just switched on Friday, and am running in to a problem where no one with an iPhone's (75% of the people I know) texts come through to me. I deactivated my phone number from the iMessage/iCloud/whatever servers, and now the messages don't even go to my old iPhone. I'm assuming the problem is that I forgot to turn iMessage off before activating my G2.

Apple said it would take about 24 hours (?) for the change to go through...so just in case this may have something to do with my G2, or CM11, or something unrelated...I figured I'd ask here...because it should be working by now.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] annoyingduck:
Yay apple, my brother just went through this. Go to a vzw store. Have them activate an iPhone for you, disable all that i cloud crap, then reactivate your REAL phone and you'll be good to go... Way easier than option b which is via apples + verizons customer service. This will work.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentfusion:
Ugh. I had this same problem. I was using my iPhone as an iPod after I got my galaxy S3 and all of my texts from iPhone users would spam the iPhone every time I got near Wi-Fi. It was horrendous. I was able to fix it by disabling iCloud on the iPhone and the Apple website in my account settings.

Hope this helps, in case you've already wiped or sold the iPhone, you can (or at least, you could a year ago) turn off iCloud on the Apple site.

EDIT: it's probably important to note that I'm on at&t right now so all i had to do to use the iPhone is put any at&t SIM in it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amsage3:
Will this work even if I've already turned iCloud/iMessage/etc off? Here's the order I did things in:

1. Activated Android phone WITHOUT turning off iCloud/iMessage/etc.

2. Turned on iPhone at my home (connected to WiFi) to grab some information off of it - saw a dozen iMessages sent from all my people that use iOS

3. Turned off iMessage from the iPhone.

4. Called Apple customer service, had them disassociate my phone number from iCloud/iMessage/etc.

5. Issue was still occuring after the 24 hours Apple said it would take for their servers to propagate the change. Made this post.

6. Spoke with Verizon customer service. In-store, they said there was nothing I could do but wait and tell everyone I know with an iPhone to make sure to re-send failed iMessages as text messages. Over the phone, the rep put me on hold and did something to my line (wouldn't tell me what) that she stated should "fix" the issue, but that I still needed to tell everyone I knew that used an iPhone to delete me as a contact, delete our message threads, and re-enter me as a contact.

-----

At this point, iPhone users "texting" me worked about a quarter of the time. My wife could do it just fine, and didn't have to do any re-sending as a text. Others, however, were still having to do so, and in even more rare cases, some didn't even have the option...it would just send as iMessage and I'd never get the message.

Now, over a week later, the issue is still occuring. Annoyingduck (or anyone), do you think that if I activated an iPhone, enabled iMessage, and then disabled it and then deactivated the iPhone and reactivated the Android (like I should have done initially...they really should put a notice about that in the Quickstart guide!), it would clear the issue up? Do you think I would need to wait any period of time to let Apple's servers catchup? This just seems like such a massive oversight on Apple's part, which is making it really confusing.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] annoyingduck:
Of you still have your iPhone, then yes do that and you can do it over the phone. Otherwise go into the store and MAKE them activate an iPhone for you so you can do it yourself while in the store. They must honor this. If they give you a hard time demand it and speak to a manager. That's what my brother had to do...

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amsage3:
Thanks. I don't still have the same iPhone I was using, but I have an older one....safe to assume that would work if they would obviously have to use a completely different one at a Verizon store?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] annoyingduck:
I'm no iPhone expert, but I assume if it's got a vzw Sim in it, there's no reason it won't work. Unless that text secure crap is only in the newer iPhones?

-VZW LG G2 VS980
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amsage3:
I don't believe so. I don't think it has anything to do with security...it's just like data messaging, instead of SMS...like BBM on Blackberry. It's not even exclusive to iPhones...it's on iPods, iPads, etc. I had it on my 4S when it was still running iOS 6 over a year ago, and nothing ships with any older OS, so I should be fine on that front.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] djkleric:
I purchased this skin directly from Cruzerlite and it came with in a few days time. I have had a few skins for my Nexus 5 and this one fits and feels really well. The cut outs are spot on and each side piece fits perfectly around the edges. I did have to use a hair dryer to smooth out the corners a bit but that is to be expected.

I like the texture of the skin; kind of like a lizard skin if you will. The color however isn't close to the render that we is on Amazon or Cruzerlite.com. It is more of a light green or if you want to compare the color to a fruit - Avocado, and not lime green. Yes monitors can differ from one another and can cause it to look different, however, my monitors are calibrated.

The skin will protect the phone from scratches and scrapes and it makes the phone more to your style. It is made with 3M vinyl and it is fairly thick which helped with the instillation. I tried a Florescent Red from Cruzerlite and that skin was very thin and was hard to get on correctly. Not sure if all of the Florescent skins are thin like the one I had.

Pros-

Easy Instillation

Great Fit

Protects from Scratches

Price

Look and Feel

Extra Fronts and Sides just in case you mess up some how.

Cons-

Color is a bit off from the render.

On to the florescent red skin.

This one is a bit of a different story.

The skin was very thin and hard to align and Could not for the life of me get the bubbles out of it. I did like the color of it though. Very bright!

I would for the time being stay away from those skins. Too difficult and too bubbly.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kong:
Did you use a hair dryer when installing the green one? If that’s the result I would definitely stay away from it – I couldn’t use a phone skin with back corners lifted/creased up like that, it will get dust/lint in no time and will eventually peeled off :eek:

As I mentioned in the Cruzerlite thread earlier that they should provide “real” images of the skins so the customer know what color/look they’ll really get.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] djkleric:
I did after I took the pictures. Much better now.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] socaltyger:
Is it just me or do these skins look super tacky and cheapens the phone. It's like wrapping your sofa up in plastic. :confused:
[HTC One X] .Jake.:
XDA community,

Last Friday I decided I wanted to change my rom from the sluggish ICJ (Ice Cold Jelly) 4.2.2 to the AICP (Android Ice Cold Project) Kit Kat for HTC One X.

I made the very nooby mistake of not putting the rom onto my phone before flashing the boot.img, kernel etc. via fastboot, so I was stuck with nothing but a bootloader and CWM Recovery 6.0.4.7 (which would not allow me to mount USB storage!!!)

So with no way to put the rom onto the phone, I was stuck with a phone that could not run the currently installed rom = bricked.

Somewhere amongst all this I wiped the rom that was currently installed altogether, leaving no way to go back to it.

Using fastboot I flashed stock boot.img, recovery.img, and relocked bootloader, and tried 3 different stock RUU's to restore my phone, but then later found out that I cannot use an RUU for ICS when my bootloader is version-main: 3.14.980.27 (JB) and a JB RUU for AUS Optus001 does not exist!

I cannot use nandroid backup to restore my phone because I cannot access the sdcard because it will not mount.

Here are the RUU's I tried, for my International HTC One X (CID: Optus001)

RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Optus_AU_1.26.980.3_Radio_1. 1204.90.13_release_251942_signed,

RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Optus_AU_1.28.980.10_Radio_1 .1204.103.14_release_258004_signed,

RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Optus_AU_1.29.980.11_Radio_1 .1204.105.14_release_260560_signed.

If I start the phone normally it stops at HTC Quietly Brilliant.

I can flash a recovery at any time, but I have tried multiple CWM Recoveries to try to mount USB Storage so I can install a ROM but USB storage would not successfully mount, it would just say sdcard0 shared-unmounted.

If helpful, my bootloader reads:

ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.36.0000

CPLD-None

MICROP-None

RADIO-5.1204.162.29

eMMC-bootmode: disbaled

CPU-bootmode : disabled

HW Secure boot: enabled

MODEM PATH : OFF

Nov 16 2012, 18:32:39

I ran 'fastboot getvar version-main' and it came back with

version-main: 3.14.980.27

finished. total time: 0.009s

If someone could point me in the right directions to unbricking my phone, and getting ANY rom working on it again, I would be eternally grateful.

I know I have at least 2 options but I can't seem to figure this out by myself;

1. Find a way to mount USB storage on my phone so I can then install a rom.

2. Downgrade the bootloader so I can install the stock ICS RUU.

Any help at all would be much appreciated as I need my phone working again ASAP.

Thank you. :crying:
[HTC One X] donkyshot:
Try flashing earlier version of philz touch recovery http://d-h.st/Hue probably driver issue on your pc. Don't forget to fastboot erase cache, and next time you might want to make a nandroid backup before you flash a new rom, right? :P
[HTC One X] .Jake.:
Thank you very much :good:

Philz Touch 5 CWM base version 6.0.3.7 is the only recovery that will successfully mount USB storage, why? Can this be fixed?
[HTC One X] Bobbi lim:
Not to be mean but why bother so much about the recovery? Just put your heart into saving your phone before the rest
[HTC One X] .Jake.:
Sorry, I forgot to mention when I edited the previous post,

after successfully mounting USB storage, I installed CM 10.2 JB.

Works perfectly so far, except for the update, which got me stuck in boot loop, so I had to reinstall via Philz recovery.

Philz recovery works fine, I would just like to fix the problem where I cannot mount USB storage if I change recovery versions.

(Sidenote/question: is it possible to overclock without a custom kernel?)

Flash this twrp, no need to change recoveries anymore

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allergic2idiots:
messing around with the settings and found it has something to do with the lock screen security. When its set to "none" the notifications works fine. I have tried a couple of the apps for screen locks and are not satisfied with them as far as thier looks. I am really hoping when ATT finally released the kit kat update it will fix this problem. I just sold my LG G2 to get this phone. Kinda disappointed now that ATT released its update today.

I used to have the HTC one but didnt like not having the sd card. I found I like the bigger screens.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysNoob:
Did you finally figure out the solution? I am completely stock, not rooted and have the same issue since last 6 months. I never had any lock screen, so thats not the issue, I always have my phone unlocked.

The problem is not app specific. The delay in notification happens all across the board. When my phone is sleeping, i dont get any notification. As soon as I wake it up, all notification come at the same time, including Yahoo mail, Gmail, hangout messages, whatsapp, Google voice, twitter and others.

It seems like the wifi/data is disabled when phone is sleeping. I double checked in the Advanced Wifi option that wifi is always on. Some people said that the push notification heartbeat might be the issue but why only few of us are seeing this issue and not everyone?

Anyone have any solution?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rukbat:
I have always had my Note 3 on PIN, and I always wake up to at least 2 or 3 emails (sometimes many more), and at least 2 or 3 days I wake up to a new text (I don't text people normally, but Amazon texts me to let me know an order has shipped, etc.)

So it's not the email or text app and it's not the lock screen "as a rule on all devices". It could be a few different things, like allowing wifi to be turned off when the screen is off (that saves so little battery it doesn't make any practical difference - turn it off and keep wifi on all the time). I don't normally run with 3G/4G on, but that shouldn't turn off during sleep, so it wouldn't cause the problem.
